The people of this province have some big decisions to make, and I would really rather they be made with our brains than with our eyes.How about you?Cascades consolidates its Kingsey Falls Cascades Inc., a leader in the recovery and the manufacturing of green packaging and tissue paper products, continues to consolidate its operations and announces the permanent closure of the Cascades Tissue Group plant located in Scarborough (McNicoll Street) in Toronto.The production of this unit specialized in paper napkin production for the Away-from-Home market, mainly for quick service restaurants, will be redirected to the Laval, Quebec and Waterford, New York plants, also specialized in that market.Approximately 30 employees will be affected by this closure, which is effective August 13, 2012.This release does not concern activities at the Milliken Street plant, also located in Scarborough.“In line with our restructuring actions to increase our operations’ efficiency, this decision was taken to secure our position as leader in the Away-from-Home tissue paper sector.This initiative will enable us to maximize the produc- operations tion at Laval and Waterford plants, while continuing to offer a first-class product and service to our customers,” stated Suzanne Blanchet, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascades Tissue Group.Cascades has taken the necessary measures to provide support tq employees affected by this closure.Baok to school essentials * Medic Alert /XL.WAVB OfVJ CALL www.rv» ed i c n I er t .c o For rrrorv mforrywrtioit 1-866-848-3259 What you really need Ben by Daniel Shelton PONT LET THQWIS RUN TOO MUCH,., IT AFFECTS HIS mATum! •ANP MIS SKIN'S VERTSENSITIVE, SO MAKE SURE ME USES MIS0WNSÛAP4NP EEPSMEETS WHICH I BROUGHT-ANP AgSaUTElY NO PLAYING UNPER THE SUN/ HESH0ULPBEINBQ7 NO LATER THAN 8fM ANPNEER5A NIGHT-LIGHT7D FAIL ASLEEP.JUMPIN&ANP RDLUN6 ARE EORBPPEN ANP S06THWIN0AB41L AROUNIP-THESECAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES/ W OTHERWISE, X HOPE HE HAS LOTS OF FUN/ PDINO VMAT7!

Lennoxville, police investigating By Jesse Feith T|he Sherbrooke Police Service is investigating an assault case which was reported to them by a woman who was allegedly attacked at the corner of Saint-Francis Street and Chemin Moulton Hill in Lennoxville, right near Bishop’s College School Field around 9:30 p.m.the night of Thursday August 9.According to BCS headmaster William Mitchell, it was a BCS security guard who initially found the victim, who was waiting for the police in a vehicle.The security guard had first approached the vehicle seeing how it was parked in an unusual place, in the middle of a path leading to the field.“Hie only implication BCS has in this incident is the fact that it happened near our property and that one of our security guards stayed and reassured the victim while she waited for the police to arrive," insisted Mitchell, before confirming that the victim was not a BCS student and has no connection to the school whatsoever.Security on the BCS campus is handled by the school staff throughout the day before security guards officially take over at 4 p.m.every afternoon, and “provide security all though the night until the morning with routine campus check-ins,” explained Mitchell.The case was still under investigation by the SPS as of Tuesday afternoon.Traces deemed a success Sherbrooke Following the less than spectacular turnout for the Omaterra show last year.Destination Sherbrooke has scored a success with this year’s three-week production of Traces, by the 7 doigts de la main collective at Place Nikitotek.Presenting its financial report to Sherbrooke city council Monday evening, the municipal promotion organization announced a surplus of approximately $56,000.This is in stark contrast to the Omaterra spectacular which registered deficits totalling $248,000 during its two-season run in 2010 and 2011.According the report, a total of 9,508 people attended the twelve shows, with an average attendance of 792 spectators per show, representing 74 per cent of capacity and twice last year’s attendance rate.Destination Sherbrooke acknowledges that beautiful weather throughout the run contributed to its success as no show had to be cancelled, but also notes that 68 k COURTESY TRACES, produced by les 7 doigts de la main was acclaimed at Place Nikitotek in Sherbrooke.per cent of attendees came from the Sherbrooke region, indicating a wide acceptance by the local community.“We are really happy to note that the people of Sherbrooke came out to the show in large numbers,” says municipal councillor and Destination Sherbrooke resident Dany Lachance, “Les 7 doigts de la main is a well-known troupe which performs around the world.The people of Sherbrooke were privileged to have them here and took advantage of the opportunity.” Les 7 doigts de la main had hoped to connect with the people of Sherbrooke, said the troupe’s director general Nassib El-Husseini in thanking the population, “It’s the beginning of a real love story between Les 7 doigts de la main and Sherbrooke, he said, “The public has been incredibly warm and the performers were, quite simply, charmed by their visit here.” Place Nikitotek, an outdoor stage located beside the Magog River on Abenaki Street in Sherbrooke, was built to give Sherbrooke’s downtown area another tourist attraction within the framework of the utilization of the Magog River Gorge as well as the revitalization of the urban core.With this year’s success, these objectives have been served.Veggie thieves in Coaticook Recent weeks have seen several vegetable thefts in Coaticook and police are on the look-out.The incidents have occurred at the new vegetable business incubator plots at the Centre d’initiatives en agriculture de la region de Coaticook (CIARC) on Morgan street.“A lot of people think these fields belong to the school (Centre régional d’initiatives et de formation en agriculture) and are therefore public,” explained director Dominique Arès, “in fact, they belong to CIARC.What’s more, the cultivated parcels have been leased out (through the incubator project) to organic growers and companies in full operation.Aside from that, the vegetables produced are destined for customers who support the producers by paying in advance for their orders.“For our young growers, it is extremely demoralizing to come into your fields only to see a crime.We should be proud of this project, whose aim is to encourage young entrepreneurs and to keep them in the area.” The CIARC, on behalf of its young entrepreneurs, is therefore seeking the public’s help in putting an end to the destruction by keeping their eyes open and reporting any unusual activity in the area by contacting CIARC at 819 849-4802 or by calling the police at 819 8494813.City inks deal for youth arts venue The city of Sherbrooke is one step closer to creating an entertainment venue specifically designed to meet the needs of children and youth with an agreement in principle having been reached with a consortium of interested groups.A formal request by the city to the Ministry of Culture, Communications and the Status of Women for funding has been deemed admissible and city council decided to move forward by reaching an agreement with Côté scène, a consortium of local youth arts groups.In order to qualify for a grant of up to $3,380,350 under the Aide aux immobilisations program, the city must first provide a detailed management plan for the proposed site and the en- tente commits management of the new venue, to be built near the Jean-Besré centre at the corner of Aberdeen and Wellington, to the consortium.The city is hoping that the agreement with Côté scène will encourage the next government to provide the assistance necessary to complete this project.FUTURE SHOP Please be advised that on page 26 of the August 10 flyer, the capacities of two Haier washers and one Haier dryer were incorrectly advertised.The correct capacities are as

CAMPAIGN Kids here should work harder: Legault Marc Bellemare might run as an Independent in Sherbrooke The Canadian Press It’s a unique campaign message: A man who aspires to be premier of Quebec has compared the province’s young people, unfavorably, to Asian kids.Francois Legault says he doesn’t regret suggesting this week that young Quebecers are more interested in living “the good life” and could learn a thing or two from their harder-working Asian counterparts.In fact, Legault said Tuesday of his observation: “I’m sticking to it.” The leader of the new Coalition party first waded into the subject during a chat with an 85-year-old man during a campaign stop a day earlier.The man had lamented the work ethic of today’s youth, and Legault eagerly responded.Legault said it was the opposite in Asia where, he said, parents want their kids to become engineers and actually need to stop them from studying at night because they nearly work themselves sick.He said if people in Asia keep working so hard while young Quebecers just want “the good life,” our society is in trouble.Legault further explained his remarks Tuesday.“If you have kids they’ll tell you (the Asian students) are always first in class.One of my sons was telling me, ‘Yes, but they have no life,’” Legault told reporters Tuesday.“There’s maybe an extreme there but, here, in some cases we’re a little bit at the other extreme.” He said he doesn’t blame young Quebecers at all.He said he blames older Quebecers, and parents, for not transmitting the values of hard work to youth.Legault’s remarks were ridiculed by his opponents, and they quickly became an object of online scorn.The French phrase for “the good life,” la belle vie, became a trending topic on Twitter.A paper by economist Valerie Ramey at the University of California at San Diego last year delved into the sensitive issue of study habits by ethnicity in the United States.Using federal statistics from the American Time Use Survey, she concluded that Asian-American high school students averaged 13 hours of study per week over the entire calendar year _ compared with 5.5 hours for white students, and even less for other students.But opponents are accusing the Coalition leader of peddling junk populism, and of pandering to facile stereotypes.Legault’s new Coalition party is involved in a three-way election race.Recent polls placed the Parti Québécois in the lead, while the governing Liberals were in serious danger because of poor support among francophones, who form the bulk of voters in the vast majority of Quebec ridings.The Liberals are apparently even in trouble in Premier Jean Charest’s riding.An old foe of Charest’s is now thinking of challenging him in his riding.Marc Bellemare tells Le Devoir newspaper he might run as an Independent in Sherbrooke, which Charest has represented in the legislature since 1998.Bellemare is a former Charest cabinet minister who crossed swords with the premier a few years ago when he made scathing allegations that Liberal party fundraisers influenced the selection of judges.The two men sued each other over the issue before eventually deciding to drop the legal proceedings.But his threat has prompted some of Charest’s opponents, and media observers, to warn that such a ploy would actually backfire _ and help Charest get re-elected.One recent poll suggested Charest is already in enough trouble in Sherbrooke against Parti Québécois candidate Serge Cardin, a longtime Bloc Québécois MP in the riding.It suggested the premier was 15 percentage points behind.Another candidate in the race could simply split the anti-Charest vote, some say.Bellemare says he might not run if he is convinced Cardin can beat Charest.He has until Saturday afternoon to confirm his candidacy.Bellemare resigned in 2004 after the Quebec Liberals failed to make good on an election promise to kill the province’s no-fault insurance law _ • something he had passionately lobbied Quebec governments for since 1994.Asbestos mayor backs Quebec Liberals By Stephen McDougall Special to The Record Asbestos Residents of Asbestos should vote for the Quebec Liberal party if they want jobs and prosperity for their local mine, argues Asbestos mayor Hughes Grimard.“We know that the Liberals support our asbestos industry while the other two parties do not,” he told The Record after Monday night’s public town council meeting.“The PQ wants to stop the industry and the CAQsays our products kill people.It is only Mr.Charest who has supported us and helped our mine get back on its feet with financial help." Grimard, a long time member of the Liberal party, was not hesitant to endorse party leader Jean Charest during the council meeting, though he kept his comments brief.There were no objections from the other six council members.“We have to protect the interests of our region and that means getting our people back to work,” he said.“The present government is doing that.” Grimard was referring to a $58 million loan given to the local Jeffrey asbestos mine by the provincial government at the end of June after two years of negotiations.The money, along with $25 million in private investments, is supposed to restart the mine this fall and create up to 400 jobs within two years, according to mine owner Bernard Coulombe.Once a staunch supporter of the asbestos industry, the Parti Québécois has recently asked for a review of activities and the help it gets from Quebec city.In the present election campaign, PQ leader Pauline Marois said the govern- ment should not have lent the money to Jeffrey mine.She called for an extensive debate on the future of the industry.Coalition Avenir Quebec leader Francois Legault has not criticized the loan.but has called for a ban on the export of the fireproof fiber.The industrial fiber has been the target of many environmentalists, lawyers and health specialists who argue it is not safe to use, no matter what type of asbestos is used.The industry has argued the type mined in Quebec, known as chrysotile, is safe for use by humans if handled carefully.FOR Orford For full employment For the future of our children For the health of our lakes For the vitality of our communities FOR Quebec PIERRE REID TEAM 819 481-5032 PLQ.ORG/TEAM/PIERREREID-122 / ¦ ¦ ¦ À A.W:;.'VA A’*v Vrsv ; YOU CAMt> n 'GOING ON A SNEAKING TOUR: 1?'tMkjES 8-15 Grizwells m AaUAUY REAP k Ml RooK To ?M>\UT ALL PAY LEFT U\M IH Too ' fr m w m fault çôr not at k___________________________ A ^IH61E °KE of TWoSE -tHIPIP JoKE^ }i Soup to Nuts (cpA U.^jOo \ going ) T ••¦—4^ odT OF | =3^ Look?BELL'S DRUGSlôKej IS CLOSING?First Harris Five snd PiY\e sroRe, TneN RACeLLais ^ews.aND now 3eU-S IS CLOSED0 7 (o) 'Xyl Running V"-ouTra PLacesn J/ SHOPLIFT?• s (YP'1"80' Check/»Health Check' ÎO Diabetes71,6 epidemic REACT NOW! 7?w~ Diabetes Québec Information and donations.(S14) 2S9.3422 or 1JI00.361.JS04 www.diabeta.qc.ca page 14 Wednesday, August 15, 2012 Caix Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: classad@sherbrookerecord.com or Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 a.m.and 4:00 p.m.035 For Rent BURY - 3 1/2 room apartment, quiet, floating floors, clean, storage space.$385.per month.Available now.Call 819-872-3702.CLASSIFIEDS ONLINE!

So, when West gets in with the diamond king, he cashes the heart ace to drop South’s king and runs the suit for down one.CROSSWORD Across 1 When repeated, a Samoan city 5 “Fernando" foursome 9 Hustle tickets outside the stadium 14 Hardly snow-colored, to Keats 15 Campus bigwig 16 Long-legged bird 17 Support, as a cause 19 Flared dress 20 Take a shot at 21 Naval forces 22 “Lord, is _?’: Matthew 23 Inside scoop 26 Pinot noirs, e.g.28 USS Enterprise counselor 29 Great Lakes'_Canals 30 Hebrew name for God 33 German surrealist 36 Washington neighborhood that’s home to the State Department 39 Far from original 40 Like some icy weather 43 Photo___: media events 46 City on Utah Lake 48 De Matteo of “The Sopranos” 49 Position of advantage 54 Scoff at a scarecrow?55 Vehement speech 56 Deep serving bowl 58 Pop up 59 Ran into on the road, or an apt description of 17-, 23-, 36- and 49-Across 62 The “’em" in “Put ’em up!” 63 _breve: 2/2 time 64 “Eeew!” 65 Broke down into letters 66 Forest growth 67 Pops the question Down 1 Pin for hanging 2 Cased the joint, perhaps 3 Eradicated 4 “Walk Dionne Warwick hit 5 Specialized, committee-wise 6 Lebanon’s capital 7 Outlaw 8 “What else?” 9 Low-lying wetland 10 Biblical spy 11 Farewells 12 Let use for a bit 13 Magician’s word 18 Affluent couple?21 Spark-producing stones 22 Roth plan, briefly 24 Multiplies by three 25 Mower maker 27 Nose-in-the-air sort 31 Turk’s title of honor 32 Slight 34 Arch city: Abbr.35___the line: conformed 37 Prison area 38 Luxury car biggie 41 New Jersey township bordering Hackensack 42 Veer from a course 43 Groups of eight 44 Group in twos 45 X in an alley 47 Iron and zinc 50 Swiss city on the Rhine 51 Clarifying Latin phrase 52 Glowing emanations 53 III, in modern Rome 57 New Ager with four Grammys 59 Hull-cracking projection 60 “Telephone Line” rock gp.61 Players who only bat, briefly D C C Tl O L A M N A R E Y E 0 E S T u w A Y C A s E E N p S S J 1 N T ¦ C O A YEA Y E C A J O V TUn 1 V E A 1 W 1 nBu P E N J B N E gBs E R T Al A R N S T A 1 N T 1 N O S A U r E S T 24 25 50 51 Page 16 Wednesday, August 15, 2012 SIRIUS& SATELLITE RADIO caRSVan Kips — ¦£¦£ gl t ; i| E S E ï S -5.g 3 -B I 11 MS SliJl " = E Ï o -P 3 S: S |S 11 |æ|| newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record ^ s ! f S g-s-g.!! iIII IIIrl Uîüfiii i Ê S ~ B o T -2e ‘ < œ 2 o.’S | s^sgS r-s^ ! ; S^g^gglC-S-g S-t|5^fs=£ •O S ° ^ is .'S £ & llïîi!fl» ÏÎÏÜtîSË S "5 cri c cr ^ "c o * Ï®~J^ss~2 I t;5~ ëZZgZ'sSàiS mi " Zn mi 'o dZ r>i£-o2l-SÏ^^ rx o o- Sm-*^x5 2 -‘«iÇ-S S-^E - = ^So I S Issicst*! 6*0 Jw’w 5 *° ?s * s • r “'•
