As with the other offers, there’s a request for money and the promise the poet’s song will be sent to radio stations around the world.The company even provides a list of radio stations.CJAD, a talk radio station in Montreal, is on one company’s list.There’s also a Hispanic Christian Music sta- tion from Texas on there, and the NY Public Radio Station.Irwin, who has spent more than $6,000 having her words recorded to music, has received one royalty cheque for her songs.The cheque, for $14, was from Amerecords.“I think they do it to encourage you,” Irwin said, admitting that the numerous recording contracts from different companies, the promotions contracts, and the recordings of her original songs, might be just a scheme of some sort.Please see poets Page 5 page 2 Friday, July 25, 2003 RECORD There Cancerous heels, toes noses and ears have been removed By Véronique Mandai CanWest News This year hundreds of thousands of Canadians will be diagnosed with skin cancer, and many will die because of our love affair with the sun.LOTO QUÉBEC 649 Results TVA, the network of draws Draw 2003-07-23 02 QZ 15 il col SI BONUS: (09) WINNERS PRIZES 6/6 0 $2,000,000.00 5/6+ 4 $114,190.30 5/6 233 $1,568.20 4/6 11,029 $63.50 3/6 203,553 $10.00 Total sales: $11,290,234 Next grand prize (approx .): $5,000,000 PHS3EI' Draw IJIjjF 2003-07-23 02 IS IS 28 35 41 BONUS: (JS) WINNERS PRIZES 6/6 1 $1,000,000.00 5/6+ 2 $25,000.00 5/6 17 $500.00 4/6 959 $50.00 3/6 19,456 $5.00 Total sales $533,643.00 EQtra Draw 2003-07-23 NUMBER PRIZE 150426 $100,000 Claims See back of tickets, in the event of discrepancy between this list and the official winning list of L-Q, the latter shall prevail.oj MISE SUR TOI Weather Today: Cloudy.Clearing late in the day.High 24.Saturday: A mix of sun and cloud.60 per cent chance of showers.Low 15.High 25.Sunday: Showers.Low 15.High 24.Monday: A mix of sun and cloud.Low 11.High 22.Normals for period: Low 11.High 25.is no such thing as a safe tan Tips on preventing skin cancers A tan is evidence of sun damage to the skin and there is no such thing as a safe tan, according to medical experts in Canada and the U.S.At least one in every five Canadians will get a non-malignant skin cancer, but almost 4,000 will be diagnosed with the more deadly form, malignant Melanoma, and close to 1,000 will die.“The incidence and death rates for the majority of cancers in Canada are stabilizing or declining, but melanoma rates are increasing,” said Dr.Carolyn Bennett with the Canadian Dermatology Association.“Yet skin cancers are the most preventable forms of cancer.” Since 1988 the death rate for melanoma in men has increased 41 per cent, the highest rate of increase of all cancers, said Dr.Joel Claveau, national director of the CDA’s Sun Awareness Program.The death rate in women has increased 23 per cent.In Windsor, dermatologist Dr.Darryl Toth has seen patients lose a nose, ears, eyelids and parts of lips because of skin cancers.A fellow physician lost an eye to the disease.“I see at least 25 new skin cancers every week.It’s certainly on the rise and most of it is caused by overexposure to the sun,” said Toth.“There is no such thing as a safe tan and we only need five minutes in the sun to give us all the vitamin D we need.” Plastic surgeon Dr.David Scion removes about 35 skin cancers per week and would remove 50 if he had more time, Toth said.Most of his patients are 20 and over, but he also treats teenagers with skin cancers.People with black or brown skin are less likely to get skin cancer.He says it is well documented that even one burn in childhood increases the risk of skin cancer later in life.He’s a victim himself.“I had half a dozen blistering sunburns before I was 16 and none since, but 21 years later I get a basal cell cancer on my right shoulder,” said Toth, who diagnosed the cancer himself.He also diagnosed a melanoma and • Health tip: protect yourself from the sun when your shadow is shorter than you are.• Checking your skin -

RECORD Friday, July 25, 2003 page 3 Missing flag notwithstanding, where’s the lease?By Liam Roberts Sherbrooke Under the terms of Statistics Cana-da’s rental agreement with Hydro-Quebec, brokered by Public Works Canada, the Canadian flag is banned from flying outside its offices at 3299 Industrial Blvd.in Sherbrooke.The rental agreement itself, though, hasn’t yet materialized.In a letter dated July 16, Public Works official Guy Gravelle told local activist Gerard Côté that “the lease between Her Majesty the Queen and Hydro-Québec (for the office building at 3299 Industrial Blvd.) provides a stipulation against displaying the Canadian flag in front of the building.” Nikola Carrette of Hydro-Québec, however, said yesterday that the lease agreement is only verbal.“It’s not that unusual in commercial real estate to operate that way,” he said.“Stats Can had an urgency to find a place quickly last November, and that’s when they came in.At that time, Hydro-Québec still had a lot of renovations they wanted to do, installing security cameras, etcetera.” Carrette explained that, as such, it was acceptable for Stats Can to hold off on signing the lease until such work was actually finished.“I don’t know about the politics of it, but I do know that the lease is unsigned.” Public Works official Mario Ares admitted that the lease is unsigned as of yet, but did emphasize that they are operating under a draft agreement while the lease is in the process of being registered.Ares, who supervises real estate contracts for federal agencies looking for office space, said that Public Works and Hydro-Québec agreed on the terms -but sidestepped what those terms actually are.“When we installed in the premises last fall, the installation of the flag was not an issue,” he said.“We have one inside our office, but we didn’t insist on having it installed outside.“It doesn’t mean we can’t do it if we want to," he added.“We contacted Hydro-Québec, and we know that they have no objections.” Gérard Côté is a Sherbrooke man who has been very active in hounding federal departments in Quebec which neglect to display the Canadian flag.After he contacted Public Works Canada about the missing flag at Stats Can’s Sherbrooke offices, Public Works official Guy Gravelle wrote him a letter affirming details of the lease which prohibit the showing of the flag.When told that The Record had acquired a copy of this letter, Ares said that there are certain instances whereby the federal agency in question may feel it best not to show the flag, but that the reasons are anything but political.“We do have some property where we do not want people to know that the federal government has a presence there,” he admitted.“It might be for security reasons.It could also be for architectural reasons, if it’s an historical building, or if a neighbouring wall is too close.Sometimes the proprietor (of the building) insists that there should be no flag, Canadian, Quebec, or any flag at all.” He said that he could not think of a specific example of how security would be enhanced if a Canadian flag were forbidden, but did admit that, in the case of the Stats Can office, security and the building’s historical integrity were not concerns.“Because sometimes the rental property we find is of a good money value, we will decide not to insist on installing a flag if it is not (the proprietor’s) interest.” “The politics is not an issue for us.We have clear rules on displaying the flag in the right cases, but there are no political reasons why we wouldn’t do it,” he said.Ares was reluctant to elaborate on the clause banning the flag that Gravelle admitted to earlier, citing the private nature of the agreement between Public Works and Hydro Québec.Ginette Cantin of Hydro-Québec was equally unwilling to elaborate on these details, saying that, as Hydro-Québec still occupies offices at the building on Industrial Blvd., company flag-flying protocol wins out.She fell short, though, of referring to the clause in the rental agreement which specifically bans it.Côté, meanwhile, was hopeful that the scattered explanations on behalf of both Hydro-Québec and Public Works Canada means that the flag might yet see the light of day.“It’s positive because there’s a hope that the flag could be set up there,” he said.Police search for bail-jumper folowing fires By Maurice Crossfield Several police forces are actively searching for Leo Dubord, a homeless man suspected of playing a role in two deliberately-set fires this week, and a dozen others last year.Leo Dubord, 43, was last seen at the Centre d’Interpretation de la Nature in Granby last Thursday, ten days after he walked away from the Sherbrooke halfway house where he was supposed to stay pending his trial to face breaking and entering charges.Wednesday morning firefighters were called to two suspicious fires, one on Denison Ave.in Shefford Township and the other on Magog Road in Bromont.In the Shefford fire, local volunteer firefighters were joined by their colleagues from Granby and Waterloo.Despite the best efforts of more than 20 firefighters, the former house converted into an apartment block was destroyed, resulting in more than $150,000 in damages.No ofie was in the building at the time and no one was hurt.Meanwhile, at almost the same time (4:45 a.m.), Bromont firefighters were called to a fire at a chalet and two outbuildings in a secluded area in Bromont.All three of those structures were destroyed.Once again no one was hurt.Because both fires weren’t far from the Estriade bike path, and Dubord was known to be in the area, police came to the conclusion that he could POLICE PHOTO Police are seeking Leo Dubord, last seen near Granby.be an important witness in both cases.Late last summer and into the fall, a dozen fires were deliberately set in Granby, Shefford Township and Bromont, all along the bike path.Some were sheds and outbuildings, while others were summer homes or permanent residences.Luckily, no one was hurt in any of the fires.In October, Dubord, a homeless man who had been seen regularly along the Estriade, was considered a prime suspect.He was finally arrested for breaking and entering, but not for arson.“There are certain elements missing to link him to the fires,” said Sûreté du Québec spokesman Const.Louis-Philippe Ruel.“We consider him to be an important witness.” In May the courts allowed Dubord out of jail: He was allowed to move to the Maison St-Georges in Sherbrooke, where he was to live 24 hours a day.He was also ordered to take medication.But on July 10, Dubord decided to return to his nomadic ways, and left the halfway house.Following the fires, the Sherbrooke Police have issued a warrant for his arrest, circulating his picture to the local media.While the Sherbrooke Police are seeking Dubord for breaking his bail conditions, the SQ wants to question him in connection with this week’s fires.The two police forces are being joined in their search by the Bromont Police and the Granby Police.Anyone who has seen Leo Dubord is asked to contact the Info Crime line at 1-800-711-1800.All calls are confidential.Devmis
