The RECORD - Friday, January 24, 1997 - 2 Three separate coronations Where the town secretary is called Lolita It’s a matter of going from the sublime to the ridiculous and then coming halfway back.Quebec’s latest media darling is a middle-aged art teacher who on Tuesday had himself elected king of Anse Saint-Jean, a sleepy village in the frozen Saguenay.I guess poor Denys Tremblay couldn’t get by on the measly $60,000 to $90,000 a year we, the taxpayers, already give him to be an art professor at the Chicoutimi campus of the University of Quebec.Despite being probably the best paid citizen the town has ever had - or maybe because of it - Tremblay managed to rope the local town council into spending $4000 to hold its royal referendum.The much publicized, official vote was obviously fixed - no RESIDENTS one else in the little town could be woken from their winter hibernation for long enough to campaign against the prof.Though 72.9 per cent of townspeople agreed with Tremblay’s suggestion that Anse Saint-Jean have its own king, only 68.4 per cent turned out to vote.I guess the other 4.5 per cent must work for a living.The prof is planning not one or two but three separate coronations, one each for what he calls the religious, civic and constitutional duties he must fulfill.Either he’s a pig for attention (we call them media sluts), or he has in-laws in the catering business.Then again, in a place where the town secretary is called Lolita and more Atlantic salmon are regis- tered than people, practically anything can happen.(Her name is Lolita Boudreault, to be exact.I looked it up.) Tremblay says it’s all in fun.But then he suddenly gets serious, claiming that the monarchy will help solve every problem from the constitutional crisis to who caused last year’s floods.Canada - “not a real country” - is blamed for the one; Quebec - “not really a country” - for the other.His majesty claims he is on the throne to fulfill his “divine duty, not divine right”.Still, he seems a realist about his powers, and says he doesn’t intend to encroach on anybody’s turf.‘The king will only reign.The government will continue to govern.” With the absolute assurance that comes only from completely failing to understand, King Denys I says he will be just like our current queen.“Even if Elizabeth really wanted,” he asks, “what could she really change at Anse Saint-Jean?” I’m left wondering if it all isn’t a blueberry-bog plot against the city of Quebec -where, by the way, in a case of political correctness taken to its trivial extreme the winter carnival has just forever banished its queen and dozen duchesses.So now that the Nordiques (and Jacques Parizeau) are gone, haven’t there been rumors that a certain National Hockey League team is looking for a new home?And isn’t that team from Los Angeles?And now that Elvis has retired, aren’t THEY the real Kings?Oh, yes.From the sublime to the ridiculous and halfway back again?I guess that brings you to sub-ridiculous -beneath ridicule, unless you’re royalty.Continued from page one that the cuts come after a year of unsuccessful negotiations for a new contract.Their last collective agreement expired in 1992.Provincial federation president Denis Soulières said government offers, which were soundly rejected by residents across the province this week, are not the same deal the government offered other unions.And, he said, the deal does not respect Premier Bouchard’s promise to ensure mechanisms so their net pay remains the same and their buying power is not affected.In the case of other civil servants, the government dipped into pension fund surpluses to cover the cuts.Residents, who work in university and teaching hospitals while they are earning licenses for private practice, earn an average of $35,000 a year for grueling 60-hour weeks.And they have not had an increase since 1992 when their contract expired.“We’re the only members of the civil service who have Inside Ann Landers .16 Behind the News .7 Births and Deaths .11 Classified.13-14-15 Comics.17 Crossword .16 Entertainment.9 Farm and Business .8 Living.10 Opinions .6 Today’s Weather ____L_;___________ Regional forecast Low High Sherbrooke Fair -27 -9 Thetford Mines Incrg Clds -30 -12 Cowansville Incrg Clds -26 -7 Richmond Incrg Clds -27 -10 Stanstead Incrg Clds -27 -8 Lac Megantic Fair -29 -10 waited so long for a contract,” Bourgeois said.Now, after five years without a raise and waiting for more than a year for the government to return to formal talks, the residents face pay cuts which could range anywhere from six to 17 per cent, Soulières said.Some 225 residents affiliated with the University of Sherbrooke’s faculty of medicine were unanimous in their vote to increase pressure on the government.Bourgeois said 225 of 350 members showed up to cast ballots on Monday.About 50 are doing their residency in hospitals outside the Sherbrooke area.At McGill, residents were also unanimous in their support of increased pressure tactics.After being left on the back burner for so long, a strong majority of those at the University of Montreal and Laval University in Quebec City also support turning up the heat on the Quebec government.Residents, who cover most of the evening, overnight and weekend shifts in local hospitals and CLSCs, are bound by Quebec’s Essential Services Law, and will continue to offer most services even if they walk out.Got comments about The Record?Share them with us.can 569-9511 A T goy i REALLY LEARNEP SOMETHING A&0UTMYSELF FILLING OUT THIS TV SURVEY ALL WEEK.'

The RECORD - Friday, January 24, 1997 - 3 Townships Memphremagog health board elections on today By Christina Parsons Special to The Record SHERBROOKE - An election will be held Monday in the Memphremagog region to form a new unified health board.The general public will be electing five members of the new board from a list of 14 candidates.Employees of the two institutions will be choosing three members, the users’ committee will be electing two members and the foundations will each name a member to the board.Two people will be selected by the new board to balance it out.For example, if the members are all from the same town, new members from various towns may be appointed.The merger of the Magog Hospital administration and the community health care centers (CLSC) board of directors came as the result of a ministerial decree.The new board will be administered by one director general.Candidates running in the election have formed slates, claiming it’s a matter of working and campaigning with people they know.One slate of candidates is composed of people affiliated with the Magog Hospital: Yves Grandmaison, Serge Leblanc, Jean-Yves Lefebvre, Gail Kirby-Pomerleau, Michel Turcotte and Lynn Blouin.Another is comprised of people from the CLSC’s board of directors: Huguette Beauchamp, Collette Beaudoin, Rachel Bernier-Catchpaw, John F.Haberl and Palme Roy MacHabee.Three candidates are running as independents: Rejean G.Beaudoin, Raymond Dore and Claire Lanteigne.This week Jean Pierre Duplantie, director general of the Eastern Townships regional health board attempted met with reporters to dispel concerns about the future of the two institutions.The CLSC located at 1750 Sherbrooke St.in Magog will be moving into the Magog Hospital and current health care services provided will be maintained.“I would like to see the health care system run as well as can be for the benefit of all people,” said John F.Haberl, a candidate from Mansonville.Haberl, and Rachel Bernier-Catchpaw from Magog, are members of the CLSC board of directors.They stressed the importance of maintaining current services and said they have experience since they have worked on the CLSC board.‘There is place for improvement for the benefit of the population,” Bernier- Catchpaw said.Other candidates were unavailable for comment .Eligible voters (those living in the Memphremagog area served by these institutions and over 18) have the choice of voting at several polling stations: Magog Hospital at 50 Saint-Patrice St.E.in Magog, CLSC Alfred DesRochers at 1750 Sherbrooke St.in Magog, CLSC Alfred DesRochers at 100 Main St.in Rock Island, CLSC Alfred DesRochers at 314 Main St.in Mansonville, Eastman Golden Age Club at 25 Missisquoi St.in Eastman and Town Council at 35 North Hatley Rd.in Sainte Catherine de Hatley.Polls are open from 2-9 p.m.Seven arrested in raid on nude bar SHERBROOKE(PC) - A raid at a nude dance bar in Granby last night resulted in seven arrests for suspicion of running a house of prostitution.Twenty-five police officers, composed of officers from the Sherbrooke organized crime unit, a Montreal crime squad and the Granby detachment of the Quebec Police Force arrested five dancers, a barmaid and a client in the raid.The raid took place around 6:30 p.m.QPF spokesperson Cst.Serge Dubord said the seven are all expected to be charged in Granby Court today with a variety of charges including soliciting for the purposes of prostitution and running a bawdy house.“The people were arrested because the dancers were taking clients behind a divider in the bar.They were giving clients more than just lap dances,” Dubord said.He added that the police investigation of the Bar Marlinne, located on Route 139 close to the exit of the Townships Autoroute, had been going on for several weeks.“We have received many complaints from people who live near the bar about for some time now,” he added.One of the woman arrested in the raid was also found to be carrying illegal drugs and is expected to be charged with drug possession today.French school boards delay decision on merger The French school boards in the Townships have decided that no decision will be made at this time regarding the fusion of the school boards.At a meeting held on January 22, the presidents and director generals of the differ- ent school boards agreed that they would wait and find out what budget cuts Quebec's education minister Pauline Marois will be announcing regarding the fusion of school boards.BOLDUC:- Continued from page one chological treatments and personal suffering.“The money is not important, it means nothing concrete to us.Nothing can replace what Isabelle meant to the family” he said.“I’m hoping this case will change things and other people will take similar action as well,” he said referring to two other murders that occurred last summer including one in B.C.where a man on parole was charged with killing a woman.‘This isn’t easy for us.To keep having flashbacks about what happened last summer is taking its toll on us,” said Bolduc adding that Isabelle’s younger sister Julie has left school because she was having trouble studying and has also quit her job.Two of the three men charged with the rape and murder had broken the conditions of their parole at the time of the attack.Marcel Blanchette, 49, has been sentenced to life imprisonment after pleading guilty to first-degree murder.He became a suspect in the case when he was arrested in Montreal after kidnapping another woman days after Isabelle Bolduc’s murder.Blanchette had failed to respect conditions of his release including attending AA meetings, Finding a stable job and submitting urine tests.Guy Labonté, 29, whose preliminary hearing begins in February, was in prison for breaking his parole when he became a suspect in the case.A third man, Jean-Paul Bainbridge, 25, pleaded guilty to seven charges including first degree murder.He awaits sentencing and had recently completed a parole term.“I’d like to see serious revisions in the conditional release program,” Bolduc said.“The work of corrections service agents is useless because they’re so understaffed.There are four agents in Sherbrooke for 80 to 120 convicts in the area.That’s an impossible job,” Bolduc said.“What they need is more access to information on the convict,” he said.“Or at least they need a better system to give off alarm signals that a person isn’t following the conditions of his parole.” He said the people at Corrections Canada should have been more responsible in finding out if Blanchette and Labonté were potentially dangerous.“I’ve since met people who lived next to Blanchette and they all said ‘he was an angel’," he said.“So the only thing to indicate that he was dangerous was that he was breaking his parole.” A foundation the family started in their daughter’s name has raised $30,000 since it was first started as a reward fund for information on the murder before the police made the three arrests.The money is now being used for a variety of community projects including a civilian patrol committee, and counsel groups for victims of violence.Bolduc said he plans to use the foundation to get the correction system changed.Corrections Canada ordered an internal inquiry after it became known Blanchette and Labonté had broken the conditions of their release at the time of the crime.“I don’t think it will change anything,” said Bolduc referring to the report.“I found out that it was filed on Nov.13 but its wasn’t released to the public because another investigation has been ordered on the personnel involved.That tells me there is something serious in the first report and that Corrections Canada doesn’t want it released as is.” Environment Environnement Canada Canada Beach Forecast 1 900 565-4000 Only 95 t per minute J+l Cuba Florida Mexico Dominican Republic 4 - The RECORD - Friday, January 24, 1997 Townships Citizens query council on cycling path plans By Maurice Crossfield FOSTER - A proposal to extend the Campagnard bicycle path into Foster has many wondering just where it will be going next.At a public consultation meeting held in Foster Wednesday night, the Brome Lake town council and representatives of the Association des cyclistes Drummondville-Foster outlined a plan that would see the bike path extended from the border between Shefford Township and Brome Lake into Foster, a distance of 2.4 kilometres.Roxton Falls mayor and ACDF spokeswoman Monique Champigny outlined the plan, the cost of which will be cov- ered by the organization itself.Champigny said the Brome Lake section of the path would cost the ACDF about $7800 per km.“The ACDF is only interested in cycling,” Champigny said.“We want to provide a safe environment for families who are taking part more and more in cycling.” But the meeting often got off track as concerned citizens asked just where the bike path will go from there.Peter Mackinnon, a Knowlton resident whose property adjoins an abandoned railway bed once cited as a possible extension, said he’d rather see a complete plan outlining just where future extensions of the bike path would go.“The plan is here because these people came to us, and because they are going to pay for it,” said town councillor Signy Stephenson.She said a project is underway that will outline just where the path could be extended to join up with an existing one in Sutton.A public consultation meeting on that is planned for next month.In an interview after the meeting, Stephenson said there’s little chance any bike path coming into Knowlton would use the abandoned rail bed, unlike previous plans which provoked anger from Knowlton residents concerned about cyclists passing through their property.“I would highly doubt it,” she said.“It’s not in anything I’m working on.” But Knowlton businessman Chris Severs said the concerns of Knowlton residents aren’t what matters.“We aren’t hearing from all the people who want safe places to bike with their kids,” he said.“For this issue it’s up to the people of Foster to decide.” John Collins said he’s concerned that the increased traffic in this normally tranquil village will change life for him and his family in Foster.“With the amount of people we’ll have coming we will lose some of our quality of life,” he said.“If it came to a vote I would have to vote against it again.” Another man asked if snowmobiles would be allowed on the bike path in the winter, an issue which has caused problems in other parts of the province.“The entente that we would sign would not allow skidoos,” replied Stephenson.“And that’s for 25 years." The next step will come on Feb.3 when the matter will be voted on at the next Brome Lake town council meeting.If it is passed by council, the ACDF hopes to have the Brome Lake section of its path completed by the spring.Book outlining history of mining industry reprinted By Stacey Renouf Special to the Record SHERBROOKE - An updated version of the book Three Eastern Townships Mining Villages in Quebec, 1863-1972: Albert Mines, Capelton, Eustis by Dr.W.Gillies Ross was launched Wednesday at Bishop’s University.The book was originally published in 1974 and in English only.It provided an account of the effect of the copper mining industry on the three villages.Dr.Ross, ALFRED-DESROCHERS an Emeritus Professor at Bishop’s, joined forces with the Eastern Townships Research Centre (ETRC) in spring 1995 to seek funding for the research, translation and technical work required to update the book.CENTRE HOSPITALIER ET D’HÉBERGEMENT DE MEMPHRÉMAGOG Proclamation of a poil for the combined Board of Directors of the CLSC Alfred-DesRochers and the Centre hospitalier et d’hébergement de Memphrémagog Electoral college: Population ’ The election of S representatives of the population for the combined Board of Directors will take place: The ETRC provided the main financial support but Dr.Ross obtained further funding from Ascot Municipality, the Bélanger Foundation, Bishop’s University and the ministère de la Culture et des Communications.The original publication was the result of research done by Dr.Ross and his students at Bishop’s Geography Department in the early 1970s.Dr.Ross would take his students on field trips to the places where remnants of the copper industry could be found.They did research on documents from the period and also on the sites.They also interviewed surviving miners and other people who knew the industry and the villages in the early part of this century.The book was a success, going through four printings by 1980.In spring 1995, following Dr.Ross’s retirement from fulltime teaching, the ETRC encouraged him to revise the book for republication.At the book launch Janyne Hodder, Principal of Bishop’s University, called the book “a remarkable partnership”, and “a handsomely produced, thoroughly researched, absorbing work that preserves a part of our heritage and is now available to both linguistic communities.” Date: Time: Places: Monday, January 27th, 1997 From 2 to 9 p.m.Magog Rock Island Mansonville Eastman Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley • Centre hospitalier et d'hébergement de Memphrémagog 50, Saint-Patrice Street East • CLSC Alfred-DesRochers 1750, Sherbrooke Street • CLSC Alfred-DesRochers 100, Main Street • CLSC Alfred-DesRochers 314, Main Street • Club de l’âge d’or d'Eastman 25, Missisquoi Street • Salle du Conseil 35, North Hatley Road ifiM?List of candidates (in alphabetical order) Name Huguette Beauchamp Colette Beaudoin Réjean G.Beaudoin Rachel Bernier-Catchpaw Lynn Blouin Raymond Doré Yves Grandmaison Municipality Eastman Magog Magog Canton Magog Canton Magog Ogden Magog Name John F.Haberl Claire Lanteigne Serge Leblanc Jean-Yves Lefebvre Gail Kirby-Pomerleau Palme Roy-MacHabée Michel Turcotte Municipality Mansonville Magog Orford Magog Magog Canton d'Orford Magog V.- CTO ! mj There will be no advance poll.’ Who can vote Persons 18 years and over, whose principal residence is within the Memphrémagog MRC (a declaration must be signed by the elector at the time of the poll).Restriction: Section 151: A person who is an employee of the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux, of a regional board, of an institution, of any other organization offering services in the health and social service field or of the Régie de l'assurance-maladie du Québec or who is remunerated by the latter cannot vote or be elected during the public meeting held by virtue of section 135.Bishop’s University Principal Janyne Hodder, Mayor David Price,Dr.Gilles Ross,, and publisher Gérard Guy Caza show off copies of new publication PHOTO: KATHY MERCIER * Additional information Returning Officer's Assistants Returning Officer: CLSC: Jean Lavigne, 843-2572 CHHM: Donald Langlais, 843-3381, extension 2600 M.Jean-Claude De i'Orme, 566-7861 The RECORD -

are mysterious.What happened to everyone on the Marie Celeste?How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?Why are we allowing so many animal species to become extinct?There is one mysterious play in this deal.See if you can spot it.Against three no-trump, West led the club eight: four, king, ace.Declarer played the heart jack, West immediately winning with the ace and returning his second club.South won with the queen, cashed his hearts (West discarding a diamond) and tried the spades, but when they didn’t break, he had to lead a diamond.East grabbed the trick with his ace and ran the clubs: one down.As East’s double of Stayman showed good clubs, North’s three clubs asked South if he had a club stopper.If East had both missing aces and the spades were breaking 4-2 or worse, the contract was hopeless.But if West had an ace, South had a chance.He should have ducked the first trick.He wins the second trick and drives out the heart ace.Here, West doesn't have another club to lead.As South still has a club stopper, he can win West’s return and establish a diamond trick for his game.At the worst, he ends with three spades, three hearts, one diamond and two clubs.Note that if the red-suit aces are switched, East wins with the heart ace and drives out South’s second club stopper.But declarer plays a diamond, safely establishing a trick in the suit as East has no entry.Watch out for the first-round duck even when having two stoppers in the suit led.©1997 by NEA, Inc.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER Obituaries WINNIE McBAIN GILLAM of Sherbrooke, Quebec Winnie McBain Gillam was born on November 3,

follow up on some new converts, they were ambushed at gunpoint by three communist rebels.When the men found that the women had no money, they angrily told them they were going to kill them.The women pleaded with their captors not to shoot, but the men were adamant.Then one of the workers asked them if they could tell them about God’s love before they were shot.Surprisingly, the gunmen agreed! So Kleun Anuyet explained that Jesus had died on the cross because The men did an astonishing thing — they dropped their guns, and tears began to flow.The ringleader said, “If Jesus has that much love, then I want it too.” Soon all three acceped Christ as Savior.Today they are serving God as fulltime Christian workers.When Paul prayed for the Ephesians, he referred to “the power that works in us” (3:20).It was that indwelling strength that allowed those brave women to witness of God’s love while staring down the barrel of a gun.When was the last time you relied on God’s exceedingly abundant power to work in you?— J.David Branon He loved them.When circumstances overwhelm And seem too much to bear, Depend upon the Lord for strength And trust His tender care.— Sper OUR NEEDS CAN

This is one of the single-dummy problems.How would you play in four hearts after West has led the diamond ace?It was generous of the opponents, with 12 diamonds and half the high-card points between them, to stay out of the bidding.Although five diamonds goes one down, that is still cheaper than allowing four hearts to make.This deal is easy if you've seen the theme before.If East has the club ace, there are no problems.But if West has that card (and you know he has!), you must score three spade tricks without letting East get on play for a fatal club switch.The answer is to discard a spade from hand at trick one, Suppose West switches to a spade, which is as good as anything.Win with dummy’s king, draw trumps, play a spade to the ace, and take a ruffing spade finesse, discarding a club if East doesn’t cover with the queen.Even if West wins the trick, your contract is safe.©1997 by NEA, Inc.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER Helping people learn to learn.If you or someone you know would like to improve reading, writing or math, look under LEARN in the Yellow Pages™ directories.LOOK LEARN CANADA ACROSS 1 Police command 5 May honorées 9 Arctic 14 Japanese divine being 15 Valhalla big shot 16 Sidestep 17 Building beam 18 Dunce cap shape 19 Like some paneling 20 Schenectady waterway 23 Comp.pt.24 Hunt illegally 25 Evaporate 27 Allied conference site 30 Black Sea feeder 33 “Well, I’ll be!” 36 Diving birds 38 In alignment 39 Scatterbrain 41 Frog-to-be 44 Soft cheese 45 Overweight 47 Eur.land 48 Get steamed 51 “Odyssey” and “Iliad” 53 Police barricade 55 Pond scum 59 Covert org.Thursday's Puzzle solved: © 1997 Tribune Media Services, Inc.01/24/97 All rights reserved.61 National Women’s Hall of Fame site 64 Part of a lariat 66 Lanky 67 Attic 68 Stand by 69 Bit of matter 70 Theater award 71 Viennese dance 72 Advanced degs.73 Painter Jan van der — DOWN 1 Shortchange 2 Forbidden 3 City on the Missouri 4 Blackboard’s forte 5 Counterfeit 6 Redolence 7 Family vehicle 8 1983 Indy 500 champ 9 ILtown 10 Eggs 11 Saginaw Bay’s milieu 12 Mideast gulf 13 Lacoste 21 Cetacean 22 Finale 26 Simple task 28 Mauna — 29 Squabble 31 Machete 32 Fancy pitcher 33 Chitchats 34 Emerald Isle 35 Former Albany-Buffalo link 37 Gait 40 Sandwich 42 “— was saying." 43 Coffee option 46 Subservient to 49 Imitation 50 Ike 52 Ski course 54 From kegs 56 Geography aid 57 Caine comedy 58 Redolent compound 59 Tobacco wad 60 Hawkeye’s home 62 Oaf 63 Charity 65 Morse code character 10 11 12 13 31 32 28 29 33 34 35 |41 42 43 45 46 49 50 56 57 58 59 60 62 63 by Chuck Deodene 01/24/96 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity C'Phe'ûryplog.am» are creeled from quotations by lamous people pasl and presenl Each letter in the cipher stands lor another Today s clue E equals P P GTXMX LVDG CX DYLXGTPZW MSNPISJJF HMYZW HPGT S EJSF PK PG EJXSDXD XRXMFCYNF.' -WXYMWX CXMZSMN DTSH.PREVIOUS SOLUTION: "There Is music in the air.” — Edward Elgar “This music won t do There's not enough sarcasm in it.” — Sam Goldwvn © 1997 by NEA, Inc 24 7 ' CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present Each letter in the cipher stands lor another Today's clue R equals IV ‘RLPM JAG TSP PWVLI JPTSE AXU, MAILWMV WE TMJ AB JAGS HGEWMPEE.’ - XPMMJ HSGYP.KIT ’N’ CARLYLE ® by Larry Wright ALLEY OOP ® by Dave (iraue anil Jack flcnilcr WUAT The RECORD - Friday, (January 24, 1997 - 17 BEATTIE BLVD.® by Bruce Beattie 1997 by NEA.Ine BIND THIS THONG FROM HIS/PERIPWETeS3 SANDAL SHOULD DO IT.’ WHAT'S TH' STORY ON THIS DUDE3 about) HIM?’ERiPweres31 r.wia kind kill yliust )yes.' perhaps he willA he is Less < innocent travelersjgonna A free himself.’ if he) THAN DIRT.'

The RECORD - Friday, January 24, 1997 Only 200 fans see some top NHL prospects play Frontaliers learn lessons from Russian touring team By Michael Innés Record correspondent COATICOOK - The Coaticook Frontaliers hosted the Lada Select from Russia in an exhibition game on Wednesday night at the Gerard Couillard Centre in Coaticook and lost 5-0.The Russian team is on a tour that will take them to four Canadian provinces to play junior teams.Twelve players on the team top Russian prospects, who want to get some experience with the North American style hockey.Several of the players have already been selected by some Junior Major teams or by teams in the National Hockey League.“The kids dream of playing in the NHL, the world’s best league.And I think (goalie Dmitri) Mylnikov, our captain Alexei Zhaglin and Yury Kovylyaev, and others, could make it,” Lada head coach Anatoly Shoutsov told reporters after the game.The 200 fans at the game got to see a hockey game filled with speed and agility.The Russia players were fast on their skates and can real- ÿ|UC=> , «.VJ ly handle the puck.No body was able to score in the first period, but the Russians scored four times in the second period.Maxim Balmuchnykn scored the first Several people leaving organization goal of the game to give the Russians a 1-0 lead.Balmuchnykn played for the Russian under-17 team and the silver-medal winning national junior team.He is expected to be drafted in the first two rounds of the upcoming NHL draft.Yury Kovylyaev scored his first of two goals, six minutes into the period on a power play.Victory Chislov scored the third goal of the game before Kovylyaev scored his second goal of the period with only 33 seconds to go.Andrei Karepanov scored Cowansville Eskimods name new coach By Michael Innés Record correspondent SHERBROOKE - The Cowansville Eskimods of the Quebec Junior A League named their new coach Wednesday night.Yvan Marcotte will take over as head coach after the fired Martin Lessard.Lessard’s imminent dismissal led general manager Frank Spinozzi to quit earlier this week.“My objective is to get the team ready for the playoffs that start March 3.In my mind taking part in the playoffs is the minimum,” said Marcotte, who has more than 15 years coaching experience.Marcotte was assistant coach in Shawinigan and Hull of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before coaching in the Quebec Junior A League in Contrecoeur, Longueuil and Valleyfield.Marcotte wants to bring back François Lequin who walked out earlier this season because he was not satisfied with his ice time.Marcotte met with his team captains Martin Bernard and Danny Frost before meeting with the rest of the team and holding his first practiceWednesday.After Spinozzi left, several players wanted to walk out but decided against it after thinking of the rest of the team.Spinozzi’s resignation has prompted several volunteers in the organization to leave.Assistant coaches Rejean Theberge, Alain Barabe and François Toupin also decided to leave the team.“I want to support Frank who gave me a chance as assistant general manager,” said Theberge.Barabe, who has been assistant for only two months, said, “I can’t work in these conditions.” “Its too bad for the kids,” said Toupin.The organization will be short of volunteers from now until the end of the season because several more people are expected to hand in their notices before Friday’s game.the last goal midway through the third period to give the visitors the 5-0 win.The Frontaliers played without the services of three regulars - Yanick Huot, Benoit Mastroberardino and Jean-Francois Laçasse - who were out because of injuries.Several members of the Sherbrooke Faucons, including head coach Robert Mongrain and general manager Normand Dubé, were scouting the game to prepare for the European draft later this year.“They have a good hockey machine, it’s the national team, I would like to see them against a Junior A team made up of all the best players in the league,” said Coaticook head coach Jean-Pierre Delage.Marc Tanguay started the game and allowed two goals in 25 shots during the 30 minutes he was in the nets before Pierre-André Arel took over, giving up three goals on 26 shots.“I wanted both goalies to play tonight and they did a good job,” added Delage.The Frontaliers get back into the regular action Sunday as they host Charlesbourg at the Gerard Couillard Centre in Coaticook at 8 p.m.Yes, the mighty Pack is back, but how about the Pats?All we keep reading and hearing is, “The Pack is back! > The Pack is back!” So what?The Pats are back, too.And, it took them less time.Green Bay suffered through three decades of football futility and five different head coaches, including two of Vince Lombardi’s greatest gridders - Bart Starr and Forrest Gregg - and one of his chief lieutenants - Phil Bengtson - as well as Notre Dame headmaster Dan Devine and Lindy Infante, one of the defunct USFL’s budding brightlights, now riding herd over the Colts in Indianapolis.All of that until CEO Robert Harlan hired Mike Holmgren on the recommendation of Ron Wolf, the latest front office Packer in yet another long line of cheeseheads.Believe it or not, Wolf is the first “graduate” of the A1 Davis college of football knowledge to make it on his own, away from the Maestro’s magic wand.Think I’m jesting?What happened to John Rauch?He led the Raiders to Super Bowl II.After he left the lair of “The Genius”, as Davis is known, Rauch led the Buffalo Bills to near oblivion.The winningest coach in Raiders history compiled a 7-20-1 record in Buffalo before taking over the Inside Straight By J.I.Albrecht Toronto Argonauts where he didn’t fare much better.What about Tom Flores?With the Raiders, under the watchful Davis, the former Silver and Black quarterback piloted the team to two Super Bowl victories, one in Oakland and another in Los Angeles.When he moved up the coast to Seattle with the Seahawks his stock fell to 14-34.Front office types trained by A1 Davis didn’t exactly set the pigskin world on fire when they strayed from LA or the Bay area either.Ken Herock hasn’t been able to get the Atlanta Falcons to fly and Steve Ortmayer didn’t get the Rams to sizzle either in San Diego or St.Louis.John Herrera got scorched in Saskatchewan in the CFL.And, Wolf wasn’t the answer in Tampa Bay.But, with Green Bay he’s been able to use the lessons he learned in Oakland when A1 Davis gave him his first job in pro football with the Raiders in 1963.Hey, one out of so many isn’t too bad.That’s why I say, ‘The Pats are back! The Pats are back!” with even more vigor.The Patriots, with Parcells leading the parade, took four seasons to be transformed from a rag-tag outfit with a 9-39-0 record under two different drum majors, into a well-drilled unit ready to make amends for the 46-10 loss to Chicago in the same theatre back in 1986.Super Bowl XX.Why not give credit where credit is due?If any coach deserves recognition and a citation as “Coach of the Year” it is the man they refer to as “The Big Tuna.” Yes, “The Pack is back!” And, so are the Pats.How far back, we’ll know Sunday.' * CONCORDIA STINGERS vs.BISHOP’S UNIVERSITY SATURDAY, JANUARY 25 MITCHELL GYMNASIUM BISHOP’S UNIVERSITY 6:00 p.m.& 8:00 p.m.TICKETS & INFO: 822-9671 y The RECORD - Friday, January 24, 1997 - 19 Sports Bishop’s can open up huge lead with a sweep Gaiters looking to build on last weekend’s success By J.D.Keyes Record correspondent LENNOXVILLE - The Bishop’s men’s basketball team is faced with two key home games against Quebec rivals this weekend.Friday night the Gaiters host the third-place McGill Redmen while Saturday they entertain the second-place Concordia Stingers.The Gaiters, in first by six points over Concordia, would love to sweep this weekend’s play.Doing so would give them a hold on the top spot in the league.‘The biggest thing we can do this weekend is open up some ground between us and the other teams,” head coach Eddie Pomykala said.“Every time we play a Quebec school and win, it’s a game that they cannot make up on us.” On the weekend of Nov.29-30, Bishop’s travelled to Montreal to play both McGill and Concordia.They blew an 11-point halftime lead en route to losing 74-67 to the Stingers but came back strong the next night to pound the Redmen 101-66.But Pomykala pointed out his squad has other motivations for wanting to beat Concordia and McGill.“We want to keep the momentum going,” he said.The Gaiters are on a three-game winning streak, knocking off Ottawa, Carleton and Queen’s the past two weeks.“We’d like to build on our three wins and it just so happens that we’re playing McGill and Concordia.‘This week in practice, we have focused on areas we need to improve to become a championship team.” The Stingers, who are the eight-time defending QUBL champions, have been deci- mated by graduation and players leaving their program.They are led by fifth-year senior forward J.P.Reimer, a strong inside player.But they are lacking the overall skill level and depth they’ve had for the past few years.Maxime Bouchard, an All-Canadian last year, left to play professionally in Spain, while 6-10 centre Fred Arsenault and steady point guard Justin Padvoiskas have graduated.McGill on the other hand has been hurt by an injury to its best forward, Chad Wozeny.The 6-6 Wozeny, an imposing player, was an All-Conference selection last year, and his absence hinders the Redmen’s inside game.As well, team captain Ryan Schoenhals and point guard Sammy Mendolia have graduated.Swingman Hubert ‘Obviously we’ll have to play well’ - Gilpin Head coach Eddie Pomykala was ecstatic to finally win a Friday game last week.Davis and forward Ricky Varisco lead this year’s edition of the Redmen.These are very important games to us because they are conference games,” said assistant coach Jeff Harris.“We can put some serious distance between ourselves and second place.” “But we’ll have to work on our offensive rebounding to be successful, especially against Concordia.We’ve got to keep Reimer and (forward) Jay Prosper off the boards, as well as not give them easy second chances.” Gaiters Notes: Point guard Rémi Aucoin has a remarkable 12 assist to one turnover ratio in his last four games.sixth man Kris Ruiter has come off the bench nine times in 20 games this year to score in double figures, and has scored nine points twice.Rob Burns has missed only six shots in his last five games, he is a blistering 23-of-29 (79 percent shooting) in that stretch.Bishop’s hopes to upset one of the provincial powers By J.D.Keyes Record correspondent LENNOXVILLE - This coming weekend might be the most crucial one of the season for the Bishop’s women’s basketball team.The 3-7 Gaiters are hosting league rivals McGill and Concordia, and since Bishop’s is languishing in last place, a couple of wins could put the team right back into the thick of the playoff race.But victories By J.D.Keyes Record correspondent LENNOXVILLE - The Bishop’s women’s field hockey team will hit the road again this weekend .The Gaiters will be at the Montreal Indoor Cup.Head coach John Mac-Arthur said his team is starting to come together after a tough tournament in Toronto last weekend.At the York Invitational, Bishop’s will be hard to come by against the Martlets and Stingers.McGill, 9-0, is ranked No.2 in Canada, while Concordia has a 7-2 record.“I think we are capable of pulling off an upset,” proclaimed head coach Rod Gilpin.“Obviously we’ll have to play well, stay out of foul trouble, neutralize their inside game and compete on the boards - these will be the biggest factors in determining if we can win.” Guelph.The team came back to tie Trent 2-2 , lost 4-1 to G.O.A.(a Toronto club team) and then tied the University of Western Ontario 0-0.“We didn’t exactly get off to a blazing start,” MacArthur noted.“Guelph was much more experienced and older than us.They’re a veteran team.” “Honestly, it would have been fun to watch them play another team because of all the scoring,” he joked.“The Trent game was frus- “I would consider it a successful weekend if we can split.” “McGill has not lost yet this year so it would be nice to get an upset,” noted assistant coach Jamie Forsythe.“I think they usually take us lightly.” NEED PRODUCTION To beat the Martlets or Stingers, the Gaiters will need production from their entire roster.Gilpin noted rookie Cynthia Hitchcock, who scored 27 points last trating because we completely dominated the play and we were lacklustre in the game against G.O.A.But we completely dominated the University of Western Ontario and only bad luck kept us from scoring.It was exciting because we all played very well,” he said.The Western game was also encouraging for the Gaiters because the Mustangs compete year-round in outdoor field hockey.It was impressive for the Gaiters - who only started weekend against Ottawa, will probably be tightly checked.That might mean more openings and free space for other players inside.“If she does get hot, she’s difficult to stop,” Gilpin said.“Ottawa U.let her get loose, but this weekend she’ll probably take care of more traditional point guard duties like passing the ball.” But he also said graduating players like Chaynna Hay, Kim Van Vliet and Stella Martin - all of whom have scrimmaging in late November - to put in such a strong showing against such an experienced school.This weekend in Montreal, they’ll be playing against a mixed bag of competition of university and club teams.“I hope for a better showing than what happened in Toronto,” MacArthur said.“I don’t think the competition will be as strong and now that we’ve played together the girls know what they have to do to win games.” never beaten McGill in their university basketball careers - might be able to step up their games for their final regular season matchup against the Martlets.McGill is led by All-Canadian forward Vicky Tessier, a four-time league MVP.Tessier is averaging 26.8 points-per-game this season, which makes her the second-leading scorer in CIAU women’s basketball.Tessier is also
