LOTTERIES Uncle Sylvain wants you Help Wanted: Quebec bureaucrats by the thousands.Must fill huge gaps created by government buy-outs.No experience required.The strange thing about the mighty war waged against the Que bec government deficit and the attendant cuts in program spending is that it hastened the departure of thousands of civil servants while at the same time increasing the overall number on the government payroll.One shudders to think how massive the civil service would have been had not the ferocity of the deficit monster compelled the Bouchard administration to cull the government herd.Be that as it may, the golden handshake package offered in 1996 to eligible civil servants, including teachers, nurses, doctors and clerks, technicians and administrators, drained the ranks of bureaucrats by a staggering 36,477 employees, more than twice the projected number, and at a commensurate cost.In the manager category alone, 35 percent took the buyout, leaving serious gaps in the administrative structure of several departments that have yet to be filled.Naturally, the lucky bunch that remains behind have been saddled with more work, without the benefit of the experience the departing hordes took with them.What’s even more ominous for fans of a full-service state is that about 50 per cent of the remaining Quebec civil servants, most of whom were hired in the era of limitless government of the sixties and seventies, will be retiring over the next several years.That all adds up to a gleeful task for Premier Bernard Landry’s new Treasury Board President, Sylvain Simard.Earlier this month Simard launched what’s been billed as the “most massive recruitment campaign in 20 years.” While Simard has stopped short of slapping posters about the province saying Uncle Sylvain Wants You, the government hiring program does have a certain sense of urgency to it.Hence Simard is making it known that no experience is required for “nearly the totality” of the first wave of hirings, some 1,500 regular and 5,000 part-time jobs.Another 6,500 jobs are to be filled next year.The government says it will adopt the aggressive methods used by the private sector in recruiting bright new employees, by taking its campaign directly to colleges and universities.Early indications are there will be no shortage of applicants for a shot at a well-paid job with generous benefits and potentially lifelong security.Simard says he expects all this new blood coursing through government office buildings will reenergize the civil service and lend momentum to a set of reforms aimed at streamlining government administration.Naturally, this job-a-rama is of interest to groups who have long claimed the Quebec civil service is very much a private club for the white, francophone majority.Anglophones, for one, have complained about being shut out of the civil service despite the promise of each successive administration, Liberal or Parti Québécois, to be more inclusive.In a brief last year to a National Assembly committee studying a new equity in hiring bill, English-speak-ers lobby group Alliance Quebec noted that less than one percent of civil service jobs - about 400 - are held by anglos, while they account for over 14 percent of Que- bec’s population.The draft bill, incidentally, did not include anglophones as a group in need of special treatment, reasoning that the community has its own institutions to compensate for under-representation in the mainstream civil service.Simard has promised to bring in special measures to ensure minorities are fairly represented in the hiring wave.To reach anglos, though, he’ll have to be particularly creative since anecdotal evidence suggests English-speakers are less likely to apply for government jobs, despite a very high level of bilingual fluency, because they feel they don’t stand a chance.While the grievances of anglos and other minorities may touch Simard deeply, chances are he will be consoled by the reality that many thousands of young Quebecers will owe their first good job to him and the PQ government.They may just show their gratitude by voting for the people who hired them.llllfil Correction:

a speech clearly meant to bolster his bid to become mayor of the future city of Sherbrooke, Jean Perrault opened his arms to citizens and municipalities being called upon to merge on Wednesday night.In his seventh annual speech to the local Chamber of Commerce, Sherbrooke’s mayor admitted some municipalities and many residents are worried about the integration of the nine local municipalities into a single city.Perrault said it is normal for people to resist change, but that the decision to create boroughs will be an excellent means to help maintain citizen’s sense of belonging and protect the particularities of past municipalities.Perrault, who has touched base with the mayors of the eights suburbs being thrust into marriage with Sherbrooke by 2002, said he is now aware of their particular concerns about the merger that range from the future of the industrial park in Fleurimont to the survival of the volunteer fire department in Lennoxville.Perrault, who met with the town and Brief Clean pipes for Hatley Staff After nearly three years of having to boil their water, the 120 residents of Hatley Village may finally be getting clean pipes.The provincial government announced last week it will provide $280,000 through its Infrastructures-Québec program to lay more than 1,500 metres of new water pipes to the 55 residences in the village and update the well system.It’s believed corrosion in the 100-year-old piping system was causing the bacterial contamination that infected the drinking water.Hatley Mayor Jaime Dunton said the municipality is looking into its bylaws to decide where it will find the funding for the additional $180,000 required, but said the town would likely take out a loan.The town’s accumulated surplus of $323,000 will not be used, he said.Councillors will be meeting on May 7 to discuss funding and decide on exactly what work will be done, and then the town will move quickly towards construction offers and call for tenders, Dunton said.“We have to move quickly with this work,” he said.“We can’t wait around any longer.” Sherbrooke Mayor Jean Perrault is aware of concerns of neighbours PERRY BEATON/SPECIAl mmm .j.i* firemen, told the Record that Lennoxville’s part-time fire department can keep doing what it does.He said the provincial government had requested a coherent plan for fire protection and prevention within the new territory and the Lennoxville fire department will be part of that plan.Perrault was hesitant to comment about Waterville’s decision to request annexation to the Coaticook MRC rather than the new municipality of Sherbrooke.“I have made some proposals,” he said.“It will be up to the Minister (Municipal Affairs Minister Louise Harel) to decide.” Despite divergent interests, Perrault said local municipalities must now unite their strengths for the future.And he said Sherbrooke has a solid financial and administrative heritage to bequeath to the new municipality and the city council he hopes to lead.Perrault said the financial legacy of the central city is solid.Last December, the city presented its ninth consecutive budget with no tax rate increase, and last week, the municipality announced its accumulated surplus has reached $4 million.Perrault added that Sherbrooke has expended tremendous efforts reducing its debt which he said would be halved by the year 2007.Speaking to a room filled with local economic leaders and merchants, Perrault said the amalgamation of municipal services will lead to substantial savings which should be passed on to taxpayers in the form of reduced taxes or improved services.Perrault pointed out that the nine neighbors already share a large number of services from police and fire protection to the sewage and water treatment board and the Eva-Senécal Library.He adds that the merger will improve democracy by centralizing decision-making from a variety of inter-municipal board to a single, elected municipal council.“The numerous municipal and intermunicipal organizations created over the past 20 years have improved the quality of services, but have distanced citizens from the real decision-making centers,” he said, adding that centralizing those decisions will make the new council more accountable for their municipal management.Perrault said the creation of a new city will allow the region to create a new, common vision and to increase its development potential.“Rather than each of us pulling for our own side as we have done for years, the new council will have to develop a coherent development plan based on the goals of a single city,” he said, pointing out that divergent interest have made it impossible for the Sherbrooke regional municipal council (MRC) to adopt its re vised zoning plan required by law.Perrault points out the creation of the new municipality with some 143,000 inhabitants; two universities, one French and one English; three colleges, two French, one English; two school boards, one French one English; two university hospitals, an pharmacology institute, re search centers, a biomedical park, a re gional industrial park, and numerous other attractions - all in the middle of a beautiful environment - will allow the re gion to attract new industry.“Our political and economic force will also profit the whole Estrie region,” he said, pointing out that the new municipality will encompass half the region’s population.“The city will have the heavy task of being the economic motor for the whole region,” he said, adding that it must not exert that role to the detriment of other municipalities.“More than ever, Sherbrooke will be called upon to play its role as the capital of the Estrie region.” Stealing a famous line from former American president John F.Kennedy, Perrault wrapped up his speech by inviting merchants and the population to participate fully in the creation and dynamism of the new Sherbrooke.“Ask not what your city can do for you,” Perrault paraphrased JFK, “ask what you can do for your city.” Organizers of Music Fest 2001 to benefit the Children’s Wish Foundation (June 2nd & 3* Ayer’s Cliff Fairgrounds)

RECORD Veterans gathering funds for museum Wal-Mart partners with veterans in creating site By Daniel Huot Sherbrooke Ted Rogers remembers the Second World War very well.Fifty-six years after the U.S.launched its nuclear arsenal on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which basically put an end to the war, Rogers still remembers where he was during the military operations in which he participated, by date and hour.He suffered his share of tragedies while fighting the Third Reich’s troops on the European mainland.Friends and unknown foes alike perished on the fields of battle during the last global confrontation which lasted from 1939 to 1945.Now Rogers and other veterans across PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL ilülliil lî**.Veteran Ted Rogers, Vice-Commander Memphremagog -Elizabeth District # 7 and Robert karris, Associate Director Greenfield Parle , want the sacrifice of veterans remembered.the country are taking advantage of one of the U.S.’s largest commercial arsenals to fight a battle to preserve what they don’t want the world to lose - the memory of Canada’s soldiers and their efforts to liberate Europe.In collaboration with Wal-Mart, they are gathering funds to build a museum in Courseulles-sur-Mer, France.“Fve been at Wal-Mart four times so far,” said Rogers.“If we can’t go, we get cadets to work at Wal-Mart.” The site is to be located near Juno Beach, where Canadian troops successfully crossed the English Channel and made it into Normandy to face Nazi Germany’s troops during D-Day, on June 6, 1944.Today, it hardly resembles a zone that was once filled with mines.It’s currently a massive trailer-park.Although estimates indicated the centre would probably cost $3.7 million, the associate director for the Juno Beach Centre Association, Robert Harris, said it will probably end up costing close to $5 million.“Most people today are younger,” he said.“They don’t know what war’s all about.” Harris said the centre will be an educational facility in which visitors can get information about Canada’ war effort in both official languages by using computer-based technology.An interactive presentation in which visitors can use a touch screen monitor display will be available.Harris said fundraising efforts so far have amassed nearly $100,000 in Canada’s Wal-Mart.Donations can be used as tax deductions, he said, adding that donors who give more than $20 would be given a receipt for income tax purposes.The museum is scheduled to open on June 6, 2002 or exactly 58 years after D-Day.Those interested in making a contribution can send a cheque to the Juno Beach Centre Association at 24-2406 Woodward Ave., Burlington, Ont., L7R 4J2 or call (905) 333-0233.They can also E-mail Harris at RG12Harris@aol.com.Hyundai: Cont’d from Page 1 A studio of that size would employ as many as 200 full-time artists, drivers, production assistants and delivery staff, and would bring an estimated $40 million in financial spinoffs to the region.Canadian and American movie execu- tives and engineers visited in March to check out the site, Cyberpresse reported, and to look into the factory’s heating and electrical hook-ups.All of which, given the fact that plant was outfitted to construct cars, go beyond requirements.The plant is modeled with double electrical and heating systems to ensure no breakdown in the assembly line in the event of a power failure.With its high ceilings, quiet setting and acres of interior and exterior shoot- ing space, the site is considered ideal as a movie set, Quinlan said.There’s also parking for 1,500 and a regional airport across the street.In addition, the interior has been maintained, so telephone and electrical hook-ups still work, the three cafeterias are operational and the setting is still clean.Local school board Val des Cerfs has already been contacted about the possibility of establishing a film school, with students using the studio as a training department with classes and internships on movie sets as part of the curriculum.Quinlan noted that the Eastern Townships School Board would undoubtedly be interested as well.“Given the number of fluently bilin gual anglophone students at the board and the number of American films thaï may be filmed there, I think it would be a wonderful opportunity for those stu dents.” Filling the Hyundai plant for the first time in seven years would be a wonderful opportunity for Bromont as well.Munici pal infrastructures, including roads and sewage treatment plants built expressly to service the now-empty plant have helped saddle the municipality of about 4,000 residents with a $22-million debt More than 850 workers were laid of) when the plant closed, and municipal evaluations of the property have dropped from $10C million to $25 mil lion over the last few years after ne gotiations between Hyundai and the town, a serious drop in expected corporate tax re turns.Quinlan noted that Hyundai has always been quick about paying its taxes.If the contract is signed, the trans formation could begin quickly Quinlan said, but would not speculate on timing.“We’re very hopeful,” she said “I believe that it’s quite serious.But we can’t rejoice until the deal is ft nalized.” LE PRIX DE LA JUSTICE 1iW Call for nominations The ministère de la Justice invites organizations and the public to submit nominations for the 2000 Prix de la Justice du Québec.The Prix de la Justice was created to pay homage to a person who, through his or her commitment or career, has made an exceptional contribution to the basic principles of justice: universality, accessibility, and quality.Eligibility requirements -

New question will measure English used at work By Daniel Huot Sherbrooke First there are leap years and then there are census years.Statistics Canada will be conducting its national survey on May 15.The federal organization repeats this exercise every five years.Approximately 8,000 census representatives will be knocking on the doors of three million households across the province and dropping off surveys.There are two survey formats in all.Eighty per cent of all homes will be receiving a short questionnaire containing questions on age, sex, marital status and mother tongue.The remaining 20 per cent will have to fill out a longer version containing 52 additional questions on topics such as education, ethnicity, mobility, income and employment.This year’s survey has two new questions regarding the birthplace of parents and which language is used at the workplace.The second question will be the first of its kind that will measure on a national scale the use of English and French at work."The Office de la langue française has been conducting some research on the subject,” said Denis Boudreau, an economist and spokesperson at Statistics Canada.“There is no data by segment across Canada on the use of languages spoken at work.” Boudreau added the language issue has always been important in the country.Questions regarding mother tongue and the knowledge of official languages already formed an intricate part of previous surveys.“We already have a good idea what the concentration levels of anglophones are like in the Townships,” said Boudreau.“We’ll now be able to tell which population segments work in their mother tongue or in a different language.” The spokesperson added the survey’s results can be valuable tools to help governments, municipalities and private organizations implement their programs.“We know that a number of call centres have opened in the Sherbrooke area lately.Why?Sherbrooke has an available and bilingual workforce,” said Boudreau, adding statistics were probably used when choosing the territory as a place to conduct business.Sherbrooke Mayor Jean Perrault, said town planners need the survey’s results to implement their policies.Some items include the construction of school zones and the creation of parks.“Why would we want to invest in parks without taking the population’s needs into account?” he asked.“We COURTESY CENSUS CANADA WT .„ ; a«m:«iigv««iacHikiwiiBrô Surveys help government draft policy know the population is aging.Perhaps we wouldn’t set up a baseball field in the park if we know the population is getting older.” One change has been brought to the definition of common-law partners.Same-sex couples are to be taken into account, said Boudreau.The survey contains a section for common-law couples with a spouse of the opposite sex and common-law couples of the same gender.Results of the survey won’t be made available before April 2002, according to Boudreau.He said individual answers will remain confidential.Statistics Canada employees who breach that trust could be fired and face jail time.“It’s a good thing we’ve never had any problems at that level,” said Boudreau.“The public would lose its faith in us and wouldn’t answer our questionnaire if that was the case.” He said the exercise will cost Canadian taxpayers approximately $412 million or $35 per household.The next survey is scheduled for 2006.Boudreau said his organization’s employees have already begun consulting for questions to be included in it.Bunker Debate < : t f 'f.C.mm ts.f v ***k* The Hells Angels bunker defortification issue was raised yesterday during Lennoxville’s urbanism committee’s meeting, according to chairperson, councillor Bill Smith, but he said the matter will not be discussed publicly until the May 14 council meeting.Smith refused to give any details about discussions that took place during yesterday's meeting.He said committee meetings aren't public; that’s standard procedure in the town.The City of Lennoxville is examining the possibility of using a provincial law to allow it to order the owners of the bunker to remove its fortifications.If a council resolution is passed, the owners would have six months to comply with the regulations.Situated at 375 Queen St., the Hells Angels’ bunker is surrounded by barbed wire and surveillance cameras.Daniel Huot QUEBEC SAVINGS

ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA Canada’s broadcast regulator, rapidly losing control over its electronic universe, appears to be making a grab for influence over the print media.The grandees who run the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission are quick to say they have no authority over newspapers - and magazines, but that hasn’t stopped them from trying to stick their fingers into a business that is none of their business.As CRTC commissioner David Colville said recently, “We don’t have jurisdiction over the print media.” That disclaimer, uttered with alarming frequency by various commissioners over the past week, was usually followed by a big “but.” At the CTV and Global licence renewal sessions the other day, commissioner Andre Wylie ran through the routine: “We understand we are not empowered to regulate the print industry, but the commission has taken the position that” essentially it might like to impose some kind of regulatory footprint on Canada’s newspapers.The commission already has a big foot in the newsroom door.In a bizarre imposition in Quebec, the CRTC extracted a “Code of Ethics and Conduct” that allegedly guarantees the “editorial independence” of journalists working for newspapers and television operations jointly owned by media magnate Pierre-Karl Peladeau and Quebecor.At licence renewal sessions for CTV and Global, which are now linked to The Globe and Mail and CanWest newspapers respectively, CRTC commissioners tried repeatedly to get them to sign on to similar codes for their operations.The Quebecor code was imposed by the CRTC in return for approval of Que-becor’s purchase of major Quebec television assets.Under the code, journalists, editors and news managers are to be prohibited from exchanging information between print and broadcast operations.Newsrooms must be in separate premises.No electronic or technological links are allowed.All journalists “shall at no time transmit, receive, exchange or discuss information by phone, fax, Internet or other technology with information professionals” in the newsrooms of the Quebecor newspapers.Failure to live up to the code could put journalists and their organizations under review of an approved supervisory committee.Newspaper companies should be able to set up any codes they want.But having such codes imposed by broadcast regulators with, at best, spotty records in the area of freedom of expression is another matter.Appearing before the commis- VlEWPOINT TERENCE Corcoran sion last week, CanWest Global president Leonard Asper said, “With all due respect to all the parties involved, we believe that (a code) is bordering on, if not, unconstitutional and a serious imposition against freedom of speech.” Freedom of speech, howev- - er, doesn’t come up too often as a working concept at the CRTC.The key buzz phrase at the commission is “diversity of speech” or diversity of “voices” as directed under the Broadcasting Act.Radio and television programming is by law required to “provide a reasonable opportunity for the public to be exposed to the expression of differing views on matters of public concern.” Just as free trade has been supplanted by fair trade, freedom of speech and freedom of the press have been overtaken by “fair” speech and “diversity of voices.” The CRTC has turned the Broadcasting Act into a regulatory steamroller of political correctness.The broadcasting business has become so skewed toward diversity that television show scripts are rewritten to include disabled characters.To fill the roles, producers then turn to talent agents who specialize in disabled performers.It wouldn’t take much for a CRTC regulator to insist that newspapers meet a quota for race and gender in news reports.Diversity of voices is an anti-concept designed to undermine genuine free speech.Unfortunately, supplicant broadcast operators, dependent on CRTC power for licences, have been all too willing to go along with the idea that government regulation of news and content is legitimate.At the CTV and Global licence hearings which ended Wednesday, both companies signed murky statements of principles and practices that attempted to force some kind of separation between the television and newspaper newsrooms.Trina McQueen, president of CTV, said the statements would be “voluntary” rather than “a condition of licence.” But if codes are not to be a licence condition, why rush to put one before the CRTC during a hearing?Why not just tell the commission to get lost?Canadian broadcasting is rife with involuntary voluntary codes that have had a devastating impact on press freedom in Canada.The CRTC attempt to impose its “diversity” regime on the newspaper business should not be taken lightly.The Quebecor code is a dangerous precedent.It serves as a reminder that a major review of the CRTC’s mandate and the Broadcasting Act is long overdue.Terence Corcoran is the editor-in-chief of the Financial Post. — THE — ¦¦¦ RECORD Friday, April 27, 2001 page 7 Sale of asbestos to NASA has been ongoing Shuttle:- CONT’D FROM PAGE 1 “Several layers are needed for each of these motors.We have several sets of motors that we use for the various shuttle flights.” She said the motors are retrieved after the shuttle launch, dismantled and rebuilt for a future flight.Most times, the insulation has to be replaced when the motors are rebuilt.“We’ve been using these motors for 20 years now, and the companies we have listed have helped us to achieve that record.” Michael Williams, an engineering and technical services manager at Jeffrey Mine, said his company has been selling “a modest volume” of chrysotile asbestos to the Center every year for the past 30 years.According to Williams, most of the asbestos lining the motor walls gets used up during the ignition and launch of the shuttle.“It’s encapsulated in a resin when applied,” he said.“During the ignition, it becomes so hot that any water content is lost and the fibre turns into a type of powder,” he said.The sale of asbestos to NASA has been ongoing despite attempts to ban the fibre’s use by U.S.government agencies in the 1970s and 80s.The largest of those bans was issued by the Environmental Protection Association (EPA) in 1989.But a large part of that ban was overturned by a U.S.Court of Appeal in 1991.The decision upheld the ban only on as- bestos in paper products, flooring felt and any new uses.Asbestos was allowed in cases where the fibre was encapsulated and not exposed to humans.Other bans under the American Clean Air Act disallowed the use of the fibre in spray-on applications and in wet-applied and preformed asbestos pipe insulation.The U.S.government bans were the result of concerns over the fibre’s link to lung diseases, including Asbestosis and mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer.Officials from the Canadian Asbestos Industry and the federal and provincial governments say that studies prove Chrysotile asbestos is not dangerous to humans if handled with care.In 1986, the year the EPA first made public its intention to ban asbestos use, the space shuttle Challenger exploded seconds after its launch from Cape Canaveral, killing its crew of seven.Some experts believed the lack of an asbestos-based putty used in O-ring seals on the shuttle’s rockets may have caused the explosion.In an article published just months after the tragedy, American writer Michael Bennett argued the substitute putty being used in the O-rings had little asbestos in it and was known to deteriorate under extreme heat conditions.The substitute putty was being used by a NASA contractor because of an 1977 ban on asbestos use issued by U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission.NASA engineers contacted in Houston, Texas earlier this year denied the putty was the cause of the explosion, saying the design of the Orings needed to be modified.They also said, to their knowledge, that asbestos was not being used in the shuttle crafts because of the 1989 EPA ban.2000 a record year for jobs and investment By Rita Legault Sherbrooke The turn of the millennium was a record year for industrial job creation and investments, with 1741 more jobs than last year and an increase of nearly 70 per cent in industrial investments over 1999, rejoiced the Greater Sherbrooke Economic Development Agency as it released its annual re port on Thursday.“The annual report for the year 2000 is filled with record statistics,” bragged Sherbrooke mayor Jean Perrault, who is also the president of Société de développement économique de la région sherbrookoise (SDÉRS).Construction went up 40 per cent in Sherbrooke and 50 per cent in Lennoxville; industrial jobs increased by 11 per cent; new industries created three times as many jobs as they did in 1999; and the tally of industrial investments increased by 69 per cent, Perrault said.The year 2000 saw a total of $237 million invested in the region, including some $190 million in the industrial sector.Commercial and institutional investments were triple those of 1999 with $36 million in new money for businesses, schools and health care establishments.Investment in the so-called tertiary sector was stable with some $46 million injected into the service industry.The year 2000 also saw a decrease in the unemployment rate which dipped from 8.7 per cent in 1999 to 7.8 per cent in 2000, and that despite an increase in the population of some 2600 people, said the head of SDERS-Industrie Gilles Blais.Industrial commissioner Pierre Dage-nais, who was been in the region for the past six years, said much of last year’s economic growth was the fruit of years of work.“Economic development does not happen overnight,” he told the Record.“You have to sow seeds and wait for them to grow.This year we are reaping the fruits of our labors.” Dagenais said the region has all of the elements for successful economic growth - a bilingual work force and a good social and work climate.While some 400 jobs were created by the arrival of new industries like ACI and RNG Pro-Tech, he said the other 1300 were created by expansions at existing plants.Dagenais said the trend towards attracting small and medium-sized businesses continues and is encouraged by the SDERS.“That where all of the growth is,” he said, adding that it’s less painful when smaller industries close than when a region loses a plant like Beloit or ABB.“It doesn’t destabilize the economy as much.” Perrault said the health sector is a major force in economic development with the Clinical Research Centre, the Pharmacology Institute and the medical faculty of the University of Sherbrooke creating spin offs for the biomedical industrial park in Fleuri-mont.The region is also working hard to attract new investments to the biomedical park with the creation of BioMed Développement, an agency set up to promote the park and its laboratories and offices for private enterprise.The annual report also included encouraging figures from other economic development agencies.They include; • tourism revenues of $5.5 million • some $154,000 invested to support youth entrepreneurship and create more than 100 jobs • investments by the Corporation de développement économique communautaire of $576,000 to support social development projects • after a single year of existence, the Bureau de film et de la télévision de l’Estrie attracted about a dozen productions leading to economic spin offs of $1 million xi;.:.: •• V Lease rate

coming to SPA The SPA is looking for homes for 30 of the 59 dogs that were seized from a St-Malo kennel March 27.Over the next few weeks, the Eastern Townships Society for the Protection of Animals will be looking for families for the abandoned animals.People who are interested in adopting a dog are invited to call the SPA, 821-4727, after 1 p.m.today.It is useless to come to the SPA because all adoptions will be made upon appointment after having gone through all the requests.For the last month, veterinarians and animal health technicians have been working hard to return the dogs that were kept in poor conditions without electricity or adequate water to good health.After a medical evaluation of each animal and the veterinarians recommendations, the SPA had to euthanize 29 dogs due to extreme weakness, disease and behavioural problems.Today, 30 dogs appear to be in excellent health and are very friendly, and for this reason, the SPA has decided to find new homes for these dogs.The dogs that are up for adoption are of different ages, sizes and breeds.For example, there are Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Dobermans and Shi-Tzus.All dogs have been vaccinated, spayed/neutered and brought back to good health.Adoption fees are $95 and the new owner will receive a health guarantee.All adoptions will be made upon appointment only.SPA investigators will be giving their report to the Crown prosecutor shortly after which a decision will be made on any charges related to animal neglect being made against the kennel owner.Meanwhile, the SPA wants to remind people they should always ask to visit a kennel before buying a pet from a kennel owner.It is important to keep a look out for the animals’ lifestyle and the cleanliness of the environment where they are kept.It is suggested that you ask for a receipt and written guarantee when adopting a pet.If you are a witness to animal neglect, do not hesitate to call the Eastern Townships SPA at 821-4727.Waisi waM+Jtot
