By Jesse Feith and Evan LePage One morning earlier this summer Hatley resident Ralph Toohey walked outside to find that one of his horses was no longer wearing a halter, a series of straps on a horse’s head, that he had placed the night before.Finding this a bit strange, Toohey approached the animal to inspect it more closely when he noticed that another of his foals had a gash in her neck approximately six or seven inches long and two inches deep.It was then that Toohey counted his animals: three horses.One short.The last foal was found not far away, dead in its enclosure.“It looked like what happened was that it had been chased and was cornered," Toohey said, noting that it had a puncture wound on one leg and teeth marks on the other leg.“I think what happened is that it got bitten and in the struggle it ended up breaking its leg.” “There was blood all over the place,” Toohey added, expressing his belief that the animal bled to death.A local veterinarian and officials from both federal and provincial wildlife agencies were called to Toohey’s farm, where they studied the animals’ injuries and investigated the Cont’d on page 3 The Pet Connection Page 8 ' Page 2

Border-fest festivities last Saturday, July 7.But for youth ages 16 to 35 who are looking to try something new in their life, coordinator Marie-Claude Duchesne is ready to help you develop your goal and a plan to get there with the free and mobile service Pre-retour Magog/Stanstead.ToWN/hipper/ Sometimes you find yourself ready for a change but don't know how to begin or continue once you start.If you’re between the ages of 16 and 35 and in the Memphremagog MRC, the Pre-retour Service may be just what you need to develop a healthy lifestyle, start a new project, solve a problem, return to school or embark on a new career.Overseen by the Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi Memphremagog (CJE), and funded by Service Canada, the bilingual personalized service helps connect youth tocommunity resources and supports them in achieving their goals for a better life.Like a tour guide, the Pre-retour coordinator helps you figure out which direction you want to go, develop a plan to get there and connects you to existing resources to help you accomplish success.The one-and-a-half year-old service is also mobile and supports you in following your chosen path.Marie-Claude Duchesne, coordinator for Pre-retour Magog/Stanstead, introduces herself and explains more about this free service.About Marie-Claude I am easy to approach and easy to reach.I am knowledgeable about the local resources that will allow people who want to get back in action to determine, undertake or finish a project or goal.Sometimes it is simply a matter of tackling and solving a difficult situation that throws a curveball into your life.What do you mean by a project or goal?A project can be finishing high school, finding ways to pursue a specific profession, finding a job or finding a job that you like better.À project can also be about finding an apartment and local conveniences such as a grocery store or a bank.The project can help you learn about finding the people and places where you can go to improve your health, to meet people, and to have a better knowledge and understanding of the resources and services in your neighbourhood.This project can help you work towards overcoming your shyness, and to better manage some aspects of your daily life.I am here to show you the steps, to refer you to the best places to go, to follow through with you and to make sure that you get back on the right track.I adapt myself to the needs and background of each and every one.I can inform, support and refer people to professionals who have advice and useful contacts, depending on the situation.How can you help people?A part of my job is to establish partnerships with community organizations such as the CLSC, youth centres, and the Volunteer Action Center (CAB).This is so that I can get to know the people who work there.Good knowledge of the resources is essential so that I know where I can refer to better help in each individual situation.My schedule is flexible and by working outside of the institutions and being available on the street, it allows me to build bridges between the resources, and to guide you to the best one for your needs.My services are very wide and can vary from a simple hands-on to an increased broader support circle.In any .case I would be pleased to do a follow-up, to provide a little extra support, or to find out that all is going well.How does it work?Just contact me, either by phone, Facebook (Pre-retour Magog Stanstead) or email to set up an appointment.The first time I meet someone, it is mainly to get to know them, see what their needs are, and determine what PreRetour can do for them and if it is the service they need.There is no obligation and the service can be stopped at any time.It is important to note that the service is confidential and I never share information with anyone unless the person that 1 am helping authorizes me to do so.The important thing to remember about Pre-retour service is that it is a good way to find the right door to the right resource for your needs.For more information about the Preretour Service, contact Marie-Claude at 819-574-6114 or e-mail preretourmem-phre@gmail.com.For

on his lawn By Jesse Feith Gérald Bouchard, a 67-year-old retired Sherbrooke resident had an unexpected surprise on Monday, finding a grenade sitting on his garden chair in the early afternoon.Bouchard was in the middle of collecting his mail when he first noticed the object.“At first I saw a small, spherical object and didn’t think twice about it,” he said in an interview.“On my way back in I gave it closer look and had no doubt that it was a real grenade.It was rusty and still had its pin.” Unsure of what to do, Bouchard called the police to see how he should handle the strange situation.Sherbrooke Police Service spokesperson Rene Dubreuil claims that many of the details were still a little unclear as of Tuesday.“What we know is that it was left there, but we don't know by who or why.” Bouchard still questions why some- one would have done it.“We don’t know yet, but I believe it was dug up by some young people and put here as a sort of prank.Why they chose my chair, 1 don’t know.This has always been a really calm neighbourhood, and I’ve never had any other problems.” The military was brought in on Monday to identify if the grenade was real, and even more importantly if it was active.The military representative was able to confirm that the grenade was real and made in 1916, but was unable to know much more about it at the time.“What they were able to tell me is that they didn’t think it was active, but that they couldn’t confirm that it wasn’t,” explained Bouchard.Admittedly stressed out by the -situation on Monday, Bouchard never touched the grenade before the police came to the scene.The military took the grenade with them when they left, and were supposedly going to destroy it.cougars Cont’d from page 1 area.While they did not offer any concrete explanation for the attacks, Toohey said that the officials were able to discount both bears and wolves.For his part, the farm-owner has his own opinion about what killed his horse.“I’m pretty sure it had to be a cougar,” he said.There have been several reports of cougar sightings and attacks in the region over the last few months.In the last year, of a reported 100 cougar sightings in the province 45 came from residents of the Eastern Townships.Only a few of these sightings actually involved attacks.The most recent example came on the night of June 27 when Sawyerville native Frances Taylor’s German Shepherd was attacked by what she described as a “larger, powerful cat with a long tail.” Speaking with The Record on Monday, Taylor remained convinced that what attacked her dog that night was a cougar.“It ran right under the lamp post, about 35 feet away from me.I could see it, and I’m sure it was a cougar,” she said.After hearing her dog squeal, Taylor made her way outside and yelled at the large cat for at least two or three minutes before it finally released her pet and ran off into the distance.“It had my dog down against the ground; if I wasn't there I’m sure it would have killed it,” she said.The one thing Taylor said she is completely sure of is that whatever attacked her dog that night had the long tail that is always associated with cougars.According to Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune (MRNIj biolo- Sherbrooke Cont’d from page 1 By Tuesday afternoon, the SQ.still had not established the exact course of the

In every case, the MRNF has sent employees to the area to try and see if they could pick up any real evidence, like fur, saliva or even footprints.As of today, not one of the cases has provided enough proof for the agency to declare with complete certainty the presence of a cougar.“Although we’re riot excluding the possibility of these sightings being cougars, the chances are very slim,” Jaccard said.“It would be nearly impossible for it to be a wild cougar in this area.However, one possibility could be that it was a cougar that escaped from a nearby zoo or even that it was a cougar that was illegally owned by a resident in the area and that it escaped.” Noella Couture, General Director of the Pavillon de la faune, a small zoo in Stratford which does have cougars on its site, downplayed that.possibility however, firmly stating that no cougar has ever escaped from her grounds.“That has never happened, l can confirm, confirm, confirm with you that that has never, ever happened,” she told The Record.Although Pavillon de la faune gets most of its cougars from Granby Zoo, and none of them actually come from the area, Couture claimed that she wouldn’t be surprised if there were some still living in the Townships.“One thing I can tell you for sure is that since all of these rumours have started sur- CREDIT: PAVILLON DE LA FAUNE facing, we have people who come here simply to see the cougars and who identify if it is the same animal that they saw in the wild,” she said.“They always confirm that it is.” If a cougar was ever found in the wild in the Townships, Jaccard explained that the MRNF has a very well thought-out action plan, the same they would use for any animal that they had to immobilize due to it acting in an “aggressive or dangerous” way.If a cougar was to be caught, it would most probably be kept in captivity at a zoo in the area.Despite the government’s assurances, people are starting to take some extn precautions in light of all of the sight ings.After losing at least $20,000 on the horse that was killed and thousands more on the injuries of the other horses, all of whom recovered, Toohey said that he is now keeping all of his foals inside at night.“I’ve been here about 35 years.I’ve lost about 20 animals to hunters, but I’ve never lost an animal to another animal,” he said.While he is more concerned about his animals, Toohey also said that he has neighbours who have told him they’re scared to go on walks.Heather Ross, owner of Ross Veterinary Services in North Hatley, said that she will be taking extra precautions herself following all of these reports.“There have been enough sightings that it is a concern.[.] As a hiker.I’m going to be more careful and more aware,” she stated, adding that she felt the public should be notified of the potential risks these felines present to humans and animals. / Page 4 Wednesday, July 11, 2012 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Military trains reconnaissance infantry in Townships By Evan LePage CAPT JEAN FRANCOIS HORTH Section 3 Ming back from a reconnaissance patrol get together to share information about the operation.The town of Kingsbury has become a training site for a group of Canadian infantry practicing military reconnaissance techniques this week.Around 50 members of the 1st Battalion, Royal 22e Regiment, will be stationed in the community, located about 40 minutes north of Sherbrooke, until July 13 as they are run through their final tests before becoming part of the reconnaissance platoon.“It’s the final exercise for them and we want to challenge them as much as we can,” explained Capitaine Jean-François Horth, commander of the reconnaissance course.“That’s why we like to bring them away from the [CFB Valcartier] base.They don’t know where they are going so they really have to do map analysis.” Kingsbury was chosen for the course for a number of rea- sons, among them its wooded terrain and river as well as the small population, which allow the infantry to “practice their intelligence mission without using main roads,” Horth explained.This will include field observation and acquisition of information regarding a ficti- tious enemy that will subsequently be used to develop a strategy.While the majority of the exercises will be taking place on private land, they will use ten military vehicles to taxi troops around and the use of blank ammunition and pyrotechnics in the military exercise may be noticed by residents living in the area.For that reason, military staff members have stayed in regular contact with the local police force and residents in order to ensure that everyone is informed and that no one mis- takes the simulated situations as real ones.“In each of those little operations the noise will only last for a short period of two to five minutes.The blank ammunition doesn't make too much noise.It’s not like there will be a helicopter flying around,” Horth said, adding that only citizens in the immediate area around the exercise may hear anything.“Usually we will knock on the door the day before the exercise to talk with the people and let them know that something will be occurring, usually between 6 a.m.and 9 a.m.in the morning.” By Saturday morning the events will have wrapped up and the community of Kingsbury will return to normal.Most of the troops that take part this week will go on to be part of the reconnaissance platoon, a specialized platoon in each battalion composed of “more advanced infantry,” Horth said.Maranatha Motorcycle Club comes to Sawyerville By Rachel Garber Record

Club.Roger Bruneau, Roland Poulin and Renald Bernier.Roger and Renald attend the Sawyerville Baptist Church.Roland and his wife Denise from Stanstead are in charge of the mechoui.They’ll be joined by about 27 other members of the club, coming from all over Quebec, from Timmins, Ontario, and from New Brunswick.That’s at the Sawyerville Ball Park on Saturday, July 14, when the Maranatha Motorcycle Club rides into town.Thirty big bikes will arrive around 2 p.m.A friendly game of soccer is planned for 3 p.m.At 5:30 the mechoui supper should be ready - pork and turkey on cherry, maple, and cedar charcoal, accompanied by salads and desserts.After supper is an evening of singing and guitar music, and biker testimonies.Hosting the event is the Sawyerville Baptist Church, which offers the whole event for free.It will be bilingual.A Google or YouTube search turns up Maranatha Motorcyclists all over the world.It is an international non-denomina-tional non-profit organization of bikers for Jesus.The Quebec club was started 30 years ago by Claude Legris, aka Ti-Claude, in Montreal.“Weekends in the summer, they ride to different places, for iplfp RACHEL GARBER Renald and Judy Bernier of

it’s a tricycle, a homemade one.The back seat is really really good.It’s almost like a throne.” Wikipedia says Maranatha is an Aramaic word that occurs twice in the New Testament.It’s most often translated as “O Lord, come!” as a prayer for the early return of Christ.Renald and Judy are proud Maranatha bikers.Renald builds bikes - that is he modi- fies two-wheelers into three-wheelers.He’s created six trikes in the past 10 years.He’s worked on Harleys, Yamahas and a Suzuki Intruder.For Judy’s birthday, he built a trike out of a 2005 Honda.It’s nine feet of gleaming silver, adorned with crosses.It has an 1800 cc Goldwing motor, with independent suspension.“When you’re getting older, you like to be secure,” said Renald.“It’s more comfortable too.” He’s 67.But he said Maranatha Club’s 85 members come in all ages, from 30 to 80-something.Some of the members are former Hells Angels, he said.Some killed.Some were bur- glars.Some were drug dealers.“But not all the members have had alcohol or drug problems,” said Judy.“We want people to realize that not all bikers are bad.When you give your life to Christ, it's going to turn your life around.” Renald pulls out a fat pocket-sized Biker Bible.It’s the New Testament sandwiched between stories of bikers who encountered God, and their befores and afters.Stories of drink, drugs, anguish, and of a God-shaped empty space inside the heart, and how that was filled.Ti-Claude's story is in it, and 26 other stories from Quebec, England, Venezuela and elsewhere.Bible for the Nations published it two years ago.Christian bikers’ clubs collaborated in creating it.Since then, Maranatha Motorcycle club members have given out more than 10,000 copies across Quebec.No doubt they'll have some on hand at Saturday’s event in

found inside a burning garage in a small community northeast of Montreal have police looking into a possible murder-suicide.The identities of the victims have not been made public by Quebec provincial police, who said Tuesday autopsies are needed to officially identify the remains and determine the cause of death.A family of three lived at the home in Warwick, about two hours from Montreal.The occupants of the home were a 47-year-old man, his 13-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter.He had full custody of the children.In the hours leading up to the blaze, the owner of the home published a lengthy diatribe on his Facebook page denouncing a court decision allowing his ex-wife to have partial custody of the children.However, the lawyer representing the ex-wife said no decision had been made in the case.He said the couple were to appear in court on Tuesday to discuss custody and alimony issues.In his letter, the man said fathers must take justice into their own hands because they can’t get it from the court.The letter was posted early Tuesday on Facebook, not long before police re- ceived a call at 3 a.m.for a house fire.A detached garage beside the home was engulfed in flames when emergency personnel arrived, said Sgt.Ronald Mclnnis, a provincial police spokesman.Traces of accelerants were found in the garage and the doors to the building were blocked by a car parked in front.“After the firemen finished their work they found three bodies inside (the garage),”' he said.“We’re talking about one adult and.possibly two children.” Mclnnis said autopsies could take several days.Animal protection law welcomed I )ha V^Bi annmffr uebec’s animal rights groups | have welcomed the enactment of Bill 51 modifying the province’s “Tprotection legislation.In a communiqué issued yesterday, the SPA and SPC A expressed its satisfaction with the passage of the law in June that aims to impose greater regulatory controls over breeders and others who own large numbers of animals.Quebec has a reputation as being a ‘puppy mill’ haven and was recently named “the best province to be an animal abuser’ by the U.S.-based Animal Legal Defence Fund, ranking ahead of only Nunavut in all Canadian jurisdictions.The new law increases fines for those convicted of animal cruelty offences and gives the Quebec Agriculture minister the power to close down businesses that repeatedly flaunt the law.It will also require any owner of more than 20 cats or dogs to be in possession of a provincial permit.The new legislation falls short of those in other jurisdictions, where offenders can face jail time for egregious animal cruelty and the organizations hope that the government will eventually go further in combating the continued industrial-scale abuse of domesticated animals.Ham mountain purchase topic of public meeting By Stephen McDougall St Joseph De Ham Sud The purchase and transformation of Ham Mountain into a regional park by the seven towns of the Des Sources municipal regional council (MRC) will be discussed next Monday evening (July 16) in Danville, according to MRC manager Rachid El Idrissi.“The project will be discussed in full at the Mantes de Carre market building in the town square at seven p.m.,” he told The Record.“The costs, the benefits, the tourist activities we want to promote and what it means for our region will be part of our presentation." Located in the towns of Ham Sud and St.Adrien, the 713 metre-high mountain, a nearby lake and 19 square kilometers of surrounding forest land is estimated to cost $2 million.The MRC is proposing to finance the purchase with a 25-year mortgage all seven towns would have to pay based on their populations.At last week’s council meetings, the largest of the towns - Asbestos and Danville - introduced the finance costs to the public.Asbestos taxpayers would have to pay $35,000 annually, while Danville residents would pay over $25,000 annually.Spread over 25 years, the two towns would have to paya total of$1.5 million.Asbestos town manager George Andre Gagne told The Record his town has agreed to the purchase of the land, which is situated 20 kilometres east of his town.He said an MRC vote on the purchase could take place as early as August 20, when the council next meets.“We believe the project will help us with our tourism trade,” he said.“We have the most hotels and restaurants that visitors to the mountain would use, so buying the mountain would help us a lot.” Gagne said the town decided to back the purchase after seeing a feasibility study made by the MRC at a meeting in Wotton last month.He said the study has still not been made public.Danville town manager Michel Lecours said his town is not in favour of the purchase, but believes it will be out- next week voted at the MRC meeting.“The MRC can decide these purchases even if some members oppose it,” he said.“We have, but we would still have to pay our share for the purchase and the future cost of the regional park anyway.” He said the other five towns would also have to pay their share of the mortgage, but at lower sums given their smaller populations.Langevin Gagnon, the mayor of Ham Sud, and Pierre The-rien, mayor of St.Adrien, could not be reached for comment at press time.The other towns involved in the project are Wotton, St.Georges De Windsor and St.Camille.The project was first presented to the public last December at an information meeting at the Asbestos music camp.MRC officials said the future park would be open to all visitors and did not exclude the possibility of popular activities that could generate revenue such as snowmobiling and ATV trails.“The park would have to be accessible for all,” declared MRC head and Asbestos mayor Hughes Grimard.Construction continues on Wednesday Du Conseil Street in Sherbrooke will be paved today, resulting in the closure of one lane.Starting at noon and running until about 6 p.m., the section of du Conseil between de Rouen and Emery-Lussier streets will be paved with lights put in place to guide traffic.Paving will continue on King Street West, between Wood Street and Jacques-Cartier South, on Wednesday between 6 a.m.and noon.Vehicles will be confined to one lane in each direction but the City of Sherbrooke is still warning drivers to expect traffic, especially during the morning rush hour.Drivers will also be forced to slow down on Highway 55 North near the Brompton borough.The Quebec Transportation Ministry will be working on the lighting near exit 60 of the highway between 7:30 a.m.and 5 p.m.today.The work will result in the closure of one lane and the speed limit in the remaining lane will be reduced to 80 km/h.NEWS BRIEFS Victorious in Victoriaville AVictoriaville woman is the sole winner of last week’s $50 million Lotto-Max drawing, taking the jackpot in the largest ever Lotto payment in Canada, which included not only the grand prize but an additional 50 $1 million prizes.The Victoriaville resident, a mother in her forties, has asked not to be publicly identified, although her identity is well-known among local residents.An employee of Weavexx in Warwick, the winner purchased her ticket at a local dépanneur, which in turn will receive a vendor’s prize of one per cent of the total -

the deliberate and informed sale of a deadly substance for use by those unable to protect themselves.True to our ideals of openness and straight-shooting, our governments have steadfastly insisted that chrysotile asbestos can be safely extracted, packaged, exported and used safely, as long as proper precautions are taken.These claims, of course, fly in the face of virtually every piece of scientific and medical evidence and have enraged public safety authorities throughout the world.Even if it were possible to exploit the product safely, it is pointed out; virtually all of the asbestos exported by this country goes to places where few or no regulations exist to ensure that so-called ‘safe’ procedures are employed.We are therefore exporting death once more to third world countries where only the poor and unconnected will suffer.Here in Canada, vast amounts of both public and private money have been expended to rid our structures of any trace of the once widely used material, following the only agreed-upon remedy - complete removal.In spite of a vast array of regulations, safety equipment and self-interest, Canadians have universally abandoned any faith in the onetime miracle substance.In other words, Canada, with all the first-world advantages, cannot use the mineral safely, while China, India and other workers’ utopias can.Funny that.Of course workers - particularly of the non-voting foreign variety - are not a major concern of the Quebec government, especially when compared to the high stakes of a provincial election, which most expect sometime later this year.As one of Quebec’s most despised premiers ever, Mr.Charest knows full well that his chances of carrying off another electoral victory, let alone a majority, are slim at best and is determined to win, cajole or bribe whatever support he can on the divisive issue of asbestos and the government’s direct investment in the murderous industry.Facing an opposition which, for once, is on the side of the gods in opposing the mine, Charest clearly hopes that his spineless and immoral decision will win him the votes of the economically depressed residents of the region, who have been promised hundreds of jobs as a result.It’s a shameless strategy, but one which just might work, despite the fact that the PQ candidate in the riding has bucked the party line to declare himself in favour of the industry.Our cynicism remains non-partisan.The asbestos industries, and the town named after it, have played an extremely important role in both the economic and political history of the province.Quebec’s asbestos mines once represented some of the largest open-pit mines on earth and the geological scar that visually defines the city of Asbestos has now become a tourist attraction.In addition, the industry was the focus of one of the province’s most significant labour disputes, pitting workers and their supporters (which, in a rare occurrence, included some of the province’s most important Catholic clerics) against the mine owners and the government of Maurice Duplessis.The strikers lost, of course, but the event marked the beginnings of popular awakening from La Grande Noirceur and the earliest stir- RECORD P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 516 or 1195 Galt E„ Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax for Newsroom only: 819-569-3945 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Website: www.sherbrookerecord.com Sharon McCuliy Publisher .(819) 569-9511 Danifi.Coulombf News Editor .(819) 569-6345 Stephen Blake Corrf.si».Editor .(819) 569-6345 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman.(819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS Accounting .Advertising .Circulation .Newsroom .(819) 569-9511 .(819) 569-9525 .(819) 569-9528 .(819) 569-6345 Knowi.ton office 5B Vicrokl\ Siki i i.KnowirON, Q| i hi(, JOE.1V0 Tel: (450) 242-i 188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 Quebec: 1 YEAR 6 MONTHS 3 MONTHS SUBSCRIPTIONS GST 120.00 6.00 63.00 3.15 32.00 1.60 PST TOTAL 11.97 S137.97 6.28 $72.43 3.19 $36.79 Rales for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record.1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke.QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARI), CNA, QCNA rings of what was to become the Quiet Revolution.The strike also made national figures of future politicians Pierre Trudeau, Gerard Pelletier and Jean Marchand.It was a pivotal point in Quebec - and Canadian - social history.With its glory days behind it, the town of Asbestos faces a rather bleak future without the mine and a slightly less bleak future with it, as it has been argued by medical experts that there is NO safe way to mine asbestos.This should ensure that the area, while enjoying a few hundred highly paid jobs, will continue to suffer from excessive rates of asbestos-related diseases like as-bestosis and malignant mesothelioma.The decision by the Charest government to continue to subsidize this industry is callous, ruthless and understandable.Desperate people will do desperate things and that applies not only to workers who will risk their lives to earn a living, but also to premiers who will risk the lives and health of millions in order to win re-election.The government has sold its soul on this issue and despite its miracle qualities, it is unlikely that asbestos fibre will protect it from the resultant hellish heat.Pm on a Bota Bota Dishpan Hands Sheila Quinn There’s always something happening in the Townships -

the world on a weekly basis who may have a completely different impression of me than I do.Thoughts on fame Gordon Lambie I have never really been a person who has had a deep fascination with celebrities.There was a time in my life when I watched “Entertainment Tonight” regularly, but that was because it proceeded “Star Trek: The Next Generation” in the nightly television line-up, and also because I was seven.1 think that the degree to which some people seem to care about the lives of famous strangers can border on frightening at times, and frequently wonder about what makes these people seem so noteworthy.I sometimes take a moment to remind overly excited friends of mine that the word fan (as in, I am a big fan of your work) is short for fanatic.I generally try to approach life calmly, my admiration is a calm admiration, and my enthusiasm is very low-key, so fanaticism is hard for my wrap my head around.Nonetheless, the process of creating a public identity through these columns and my other writing work has made me consider a lot more why people might be interested in fame, and what validity that interest might have.In April, I went to a concert in Montreal with my wife and some friends.The show was good and I really enjoyed the headlining musician, but the real surprise of the night was the great little group that opened the show.Pearl and the Beard are a quirky trio from New York with a really interesting sound that we pretty instantly fell in love with.A few weeks ago I was hunting around to see if I could find the lyrics to some of their songs and really hitting a wall because the group is still not widely known enough to find easy answers about them on the Internet.I started asking around to see if anyone knew something, and the answer finally came to me in the form of a person who just wrote to the band and asked.Within an hour one of the band members had written back with the lyrics I was looking for, and I was left wondering why I hadn’t thought to do that.When I feel that someone is important, without even realizing it, I put up a mental wall between myself and that person.In thinking about that, it is a strange and unfair practice, but it happens all the same.I worked for several years, while a student at Bishop’s University, at Centennial Theatre.That job, more than any other I have ever had, really showed me how there are degrees of fame and variability in peoples’ perception of importance in this world.I have often, to friends and acquaintances, called Centennial the place where I saw “all the best shows I had never heard of.” While that might sound sort of funny the first time around, I really feel a need to highlight the fact that the vast majority of shows I saw while working at the theatre were excellent.The fact that I had never heard of about ninety per cent of the performers prior to seeing them made them special, mysterious, and new.Working at the theatre also showed me, though, the way that someone who is really good at what they do rises in stature and importance gradually.The higher in popular esteem the star rises, the more people tend to subconsciously separate themselves from that star, whether or not that person actually makes any effort to separate herself.While it is certainly true that many people who reach the upper rungs of the fame ladder have spin-doctors charged with the task of creating a public image for them, I really don’t think that the creation of fame is always an intentional move on the part of the artists.I think it is something that we, in the audience, do inside of our own heads, and I feel justified in saying that because somewhere along the line, in the process of writing this column, I became a person that strangers will talk to on the street.I like talking to people about what I write, but it’s always a little funny to me when I encounter a stranger who knows who I am and wants to ask me a question or comment on something I’ve said.I never thought of myself as being someone people might have an interest in.When someone sings, or writes, or says something that I really like, agree with or believe in I start drawing lines of connection between myself and that person.At the same time, though, doubt creeps in.We are taught not to judge someone without knowing them, and while I have imagined connections, that wall I built reminds me that I don’t know who this person I’m thinking about really is.I still see myself as a regular person, in as much as there is such a thing, but there are people out in the world who read my thoughts and impressions of the world on a weekly basis who may have a completely different impression of me than I do.Up to a certain level of celebrity-craziness I think that a lot of the people we put on pedestals are just living regular lives a lot of the time, with some intermittent spotlight here and there, and in that mind frame I can understand being interested in famous people in the context of empathizing with them, but I would still no more collect their old clothes than I would my neighbours’.’ Paris.under Dunham skies Dishpan Hands Cont’d from pagf: 6 pets (yes, I mean Bubbles the

adoptions, it has been an expensive few months, especially since a big chunk of our boarders have come to us very young and very ill, demanding much vet attention.We could use a hand in helping some of these tiny souls that have had.and still need much vet care.We are looking for sponsors to help us give these little guys everything they need to be able to get healthy and then find new loving homes, when you sponsor $50 or more, you get a thank you in the mail with photos and updates on our progress.You can majorly help us by sponsoring: Kimbo: Three-year-old pug.Very affectionate, but does not like to be left alone for too long.Lexus: Eleven-month-old female.Shy at first.Angel: Two-year-old female.Very quiet and friendly.Thelma and Louise: They were abandoned a few weeks back and found crying for days in a flowerbed.Because they were so young, the woman who found them had no idea how to help them or what to do, so they came to stay with us.They are about four weeks old and need special kitten milk each day.several times a day and medication each morning to keep them strong.They have begun to eat canned food, specifically for young weak kittens.They cost about $20 a day and will be in need of shots and deworm-ing ($100) as soon as they are strong enough.Then they will need to be fixed ($250).Sam was found beside the garbage container at the Lennoxville post office.He was very thin and evidently ill.The family that found him was on their way to the SPA with him, but as they were, he crawled up in to the heating vent of their car and they stopped and asked for our help to get him out.I got him out after some work and saw how ill he was.He would have had little chances at the SPA due to his age and illness.He is about six weeks old and was hospitalized immediately after he was brought in.After four days of hospitalization and medications ($300) he was doing much better, but then a week later fell ill again, requiring about nine days of hospitalization plus numerous tests ($420).Thankfully all the tests show that he has no life-threatening illnesses but has a virus that needs to be watched carefully.Once he is strong enough and we are sure his medicine has taken care of the virus, he will then need shots and to be fixed ($300 at least).Gizmo was found on the side of the road near Baldwin’s Mills.She is perhaps the skinniest kitten we have seen yet.She was in sad shape when she was brought in to us.but such a beautiful little thing.She has a parasite (cost $30 to test for it), which required medication and she needs special milk, and medication each day.Both medications and her special wet food and milk costs $15 a day.Once she is strong enough we will need to get her shots and she will need to be fixed ($190).Yar is about four weeks old.She was found on the side of the road, amongst garbage in Sherbrooke.She had an obvious eye infection caused by the rhinovirus.She was immediately hospitalized and her eye infection was treated ($230).After a week, her eye infection did not get better.She is now on her third eye infection medication, but we fear the infection caused irreversible damage to her little eye and once she is strong enough, it will need to be removed, which is expected to cost $250, at least.Once she is over that, we will need to get her shots and get her fixed.As you can see.saving these little guys has been a very costly adventure and will continue to be so, which is why we could really use some help.These costs are of course on top of the costs related to the other 22 cats and 25 dogs we are caring for in hopes of finding their second chance at life and love.If you wish to help and be a sponsor, send your address and telephone number to The Pet Connection.1730

Teacher/Athletic Director Alexander Galt High School On June 30, 2012 Alexander Galt High School held its fourth annual Piper Classic Golf Tournament in honor of John Haller at the Milby Golf course.The tournament is in memory of Haller for his 32 years of dedication and commitment as a teacher and coach.This year the tournament raised more than $5,600 bringing its four-year total to over $23,000.All of the proceeds have and will continue to go towards Galt Athletics to help ensure its longevity and proud tradition of 43 years.The day began with 84 golfers being treated to a wonderful lunch and a cooler bag as an entry gift.The golfers then challenged themselves against a windy championship course, but it was the team of Randy Vintinner, Terry $tick-les, Jimmy Bennett and Jason Coley that would raise the trophy in the end with a score of-15.After dinner, closest to the pin prizes were given out to David Beaulieu, Randy Vintinner, Kevin Bennett and Gilles Rib-aux.Evan Mooney claimed bragging rights with the longest drive.As the evening rolled on, fifty door prizes donated by local businesses and suppliers of Galt were given out to lucky participants.A raffle spiced up the evening even more with five people taking home fabulous prizes that consisted of a TV donated by the Haller family, 20 Sherbrooke Phoenix tickets, an Original Six print autographed by Johnny Bower (donated by Scott Coates), Le Coureur and Bishop’s University gift packages.The student athletes at Galt were the real winners on this day, as the money raised will help to ensure that Galt Athletics continues its rich tradition despite government cutbacks.The 46-inch TV was even donated back to the school after Mike Bresee bought it in an auction.Twenty-eight local businesses also sponsored the event and without their support the day would not have been as successful as it was.The Athletic Committee at Galt would like to thank the following businesses for their continued support: 1.S.W.M

discovered may be worth millions Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner pictured By John Seewer THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Karl Kissner picked up a soot-covered cardboard box that had been under a wooden dollhouse in his grandfather’s attic in Defiance, Ohio.Taking a look inside, he saw hundreds of baseball cards bundled with twine.They were smaller than the ones he was used to seeing.But some of the names were familiar: Hall of Earners Ty Cobb, Cy Young, and Honus Wagner.Then he put the box on a dresser and went back to digging through the attic.It wasn’t until two weeks later that he learned that his family had come across what experts say is one of the biggest, most exciting finds in the history of sports card collecting, a discovery worth perhaps millions.The cards are from an extremely rare series issued around 1910.Up to now, the few known to exist were in so-so condition at best, with faded images and worn edges.But the ones from the attic in the town of Defiance are nearly pristine, untouched for more than a century.The colours are vibrant, the borders crisp and white.“It’s like finding the Mona Lisa in the attic,” Kissner said.Sports cai'd experts who authenticated the find say they may never again see something this impressive.“Every future find will ultimately be compared to this,” said Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator.The best of the bunch — 37 cards — are expected to bring a total of $500,000 when they are sold at auction in August during the National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore.There are about 700 cards in all that could be worth up to $3 million, experts say.They include such legends as Christy Math-ewson and Connie Mack.Kissner and his family say the cards belonged to their grandfather, Carl Hench, who died in the 1940s.Hench ran a meat market in Defiance, and the family suspects he got them as a promotional item from a candy company that distributed them with caramels.They think he gave some away and kept others.“We guess he stuck them in the attic and forgot about them,” Kissner said.“They remained there frozen in time.” After Hench and his wife died, two of his daughters lived in the house.Jean Hench kept the house until she died last October, leaving everything inside to her 20 nieces and nephews.Kissner, 51, is the youngest and was put in charge of the estate.His aunt was a pack rat, and the house was filled with three generations of stuff.They found calendars from the meat market, turn-of-the-century dresses, a steamer trunk from Germany and a dresser with Grandma’s clothes neatly folded in the drawers.Months went by before they even got to the attic.On Feb.29, Kissner’s cousin Karla Hench pulled out the dirty green box with metal clips at the corners and lifted the lid.Not knowing whether the cards were valuable, the two cousins put the box aside.But Kissner decided to do a little research.The cards were at his office in the restaurant he owns when he realized they might have something.He immediately took them across the street and put them irl a bank vault.Still not knowing whether the cards were real, they sent eight to expert Peter Calderon at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, which recently sold the baseball that rolled through the legs of Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner in the 1986 World Series for $418,000.Calderon said his first words were, “Oh, my God.” “1 was in complete awe,” he said.“You just don’t see them this nice.” The cards are from what is known as the E98 series.It is not clear who manufactured them or how many were produced, but the series consists of 30 players, half of them Hall of Earners.The experts at Heritage Auctions checked out the family’s background, the age of the home and the history of the meat market.They looked at the cards and how they were printed.“Everything lines up,” said Chris Ivy, the company’s director of sports auctions.They then sent all the cards to Professional Sports Authenticator, which had previously authenticated fewer than 700 E98s.The Ohio cards were the finest examples from the E98 series the company had ever seen.The company grades cards on a 1-to-10 scale based of their condition.Up to now, the highest grade it had ever given a Ty Cobb card from the E98 series was a 7.Sixteen Cobbs found in the Ohio attic were graded a 9 - almost perfect.A Honus Wagner was judged a 10, a first for the series.Retired vintage sports card auctioneer Barry Sloate of New York City said : “This is probably the most interesting find I’ve heard of.” In a measure of what baseball cards can be worth, the owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks paid a record $2.8 million for a rare 1909 Honus Wagner.Another version of the card brought $1.2 million in April.Heritage Auctions plans to sell most of the cards over the next two or three years through auctions and private sales so that it doesn’t flood the market.In all.they could bring $2 million or $3 million.Ivy said.The Hench family is evenly dividing the cards and the money among the 20 cousins named in their aunt’s will.All but a few have decided to sell their shares.“These cards need to be with those people who appreciate and enjoy them,” Kissner said. * * â-t A-/ i y ±s s\ X y J XJ Xj x S* \J X X XXfyX.X X ASK DOCTOR K Diabetics must be on their guard against foot infection by Anthony L Komaroff, M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: I’ve heard that diabetics need to take good care of their feet.But what do feet have to do with diabetes?DEAR READER: Why should keeping your blood sugar levels down have anything to do with your feet?It’s an understandable question.The connection isn’t obvious.Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes raise blood sugar levels.When blood sugar levels are not kept under control, the nerves that extend into your legs and feet can be damaged.As a result, your feet become less sensitive to touch and pain.In this case, a sore on the skin of your foot could go unnoticed, worsen and get infected.Of course, your body can heal sores: The immune system comes to the rescue.White blood cells direct the healing response.Most of those cells come to the sore by way of the blood.Which brings us to the second problem often seen in people with diabetes: blockages in the arteries that bring a blood supply to your legs and feet.Put it together and this is what can happen: You get a sore.You don’t notice it’s there, because nerve damage keeps you from feeling it.Since you don’t notice it, you don’t do anything about it, and it gets worse.But your body can’t heal it as well or as fast as it should because of the poor blood supply to your feet.As a result, a simple cut or blister on the bottom of your foot can become so severely infected that a toe or foot must be amputated.The adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies to many diabetes complications.Foot and leg damage is no exception.We have a lot more information on preventing diabetes complications in our Special Health Report, “Diabetes: A Plan for Living.” You can Find out more about it at my website.If you have diabetes, the best way to avoid or delay complications is to keep your blood sugar levels tightly controlled.In addition, practice good foot care: — Examine your feet every day.Check for sores, cuts, scratches, breaks in the skin or swollen areas.— Massage your feet with a moisturizer to reduce dryness and cracking, which can lead to skin infection.— Wash your feet with warm water and soap every day.Dry them carefully.— Keep your toenails well cared for to avoid ingrown nails.If this problem develops, have a podiatrist cut away the ingrown nail.— Have a podiatrist also treat all calluses, corns, warts and other common foot ailments you may have.— Wear clean socks or stockings each day.— Wear well-fitting, comfortable shoes.If your doctor or podiatrist suggests it, consult an expert in Fitting footwear for people with diabetes.- Avoid going barefoot.— Treat foot injuries immediately.See your doctor about any wound that seems unusual or doesn’t heal.In other words, simple daily self-care can protect someone with diabetes from foot sores — and the amputations that sometimes follow.DEAR DOCTOR K: I recently had a right hip replacement.My doctor says I’m ready to use a cane.What’s the best way to use one?DEAR READER: A cane will get you on your feet and allow you to be more active.It will also help you strengthen your body and give you some independence while your hip heals.First, it’s important to make sure you select the right cane.There are several types: standard, offset and multi-leg (quad).The standard cane has a curved handle or a T-shaped (functional grip) handle.A standard cane is good if you need help with balance but the cane doesn’t have to bear a lot of weight.An offset cane (the upper part of the shaft bends outward) can bear more weight than a standard cane.The handle is usuallv flat, which makes it a good choice if your hands are weak.Multi-leg canes have three or four short legs branching from the main shaft.They offer the most support.Try different handle designs to see which is easiest to grip and feels most comfortable when you walk.Avoid metal handles.Make sure your cane is the right height.When you’re standing straight and holding your cane upright, your elbow should be flexed at a 15- to 30-degree angle.Walking with a cane takes practice.To start: (1) Hold the cane in the hand opposite your affected hip (in your case, your left hand); (2) Move the cane several inches ahead of you; (3) '1'hen move the leg that was operated on (your right leg) forward, about as far forward as the cane is, bearing some of your weight on the cane; (4) Next, move the leg that was not operated on (your left leg) forward past the leg that was operated on.(5) Start with Step 2 again.I recall a patient of mine who, like you, had just undergone a hip replacement and had been given a cane.When I asked him how it was going, he said it worked pretty well at home, but that he couldn’t go out.I was puzzled about why using the cane should be harder outside the home than in the home.It turned out that he was simply embarrassed to be seen in public using a cane.“Canes Death are for old people,” he said.im to use op I So I taught hi taugh crutches.That way people might think he’d been skiing an expert trail in the Rockies! Since then, I’ve asked many of my patients facing hip or knee replacement surgery about their views on canes vs.crutches.A fair number (and not all of them men) much preferred the image of using crutches to using a cane.Both devices are fine for most patients.Choose whatever is best for your self-image.(For my hip replacement surgery, I used crutches.)
