Academic Staff Union of the CEGEP de Sherbrooke and was active in the Es-trie movement against the tuition increase in recent months.Dionne was repeatedly responsible for issues affecting the quality of teaching and academic research, either as a member of the Board of Directors or the ACFAS as vice-president of the National Council for Graduate Students (FEUQ), one of the three leading student associations behind this year’s student strikes.In 2006, attracted by both the platform and the personalities of its two co-leaders, Dionne joined Quebec solidaire.She served as women’s spokesman for the party in Sherbrooke and subsequently ran under the QS banner in Megantic-Compton during the last election.In 2006, the new party Québec solidaire had attracted attention for the quality of interventions both national spokespersons and its ideological orientation, which matched perfectly.She first served as spokesman for the women’s riding of Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships region as a whole.She was the Québec solidaire candidate in the riding as well as the entire Eastern Townships region of Mégantic-Comp-ton in the last elections.Steve Lemay Option Nationale The candidate for the separatist Option Nationale is social worker Steve Lemay, who currently heads support services and the day centre at the Réseau d’aide Le Tremplin (RALT) in Drummondville, where he also acts as a mental health intervener.He has also previously worked actively for the Bloc Québécois and the Parti Québécois, before joining the unequivocally indepen-dentist Option Nationale.Compton — Cont'd from

children in other schools quickly as the school year begins.The Hauts-Cantons school board, the Sherbrooke school board and private schools in the region have confirmed that they will make arrangements to accommodate students from the closed school.The private elementary school announced on August 15 that it would close its doors due to a lack of financial resources, after which a committee of parents supported by management and the union had tried to unite efforts to revive the school, which was preparing to begin its 26th year.Benoit Lussier Quebec Conservative party The long moribund Quebec Conservative Party is presenting a field of candidates in this election, but is promising not to make promises.Staunchly conserva- j five, the party aims only for sound financial management and conservative values.“We are tired of seeing money from our taxes being squandered by our elected officials.Why are we so taxed and taxed?Why so many civil servants, and so little service?Why is there more administrative staff than nursing staff in the health system?Why create public advisory bodies, such as BAPE, while decisions are taken even before citizens are consulted?Why are our elections not at a fixed date?Why are there hundreds of policemen patrolling the bike paths and only a handful patrolling the Internet?Why does Future Shop know my address and not the Ministry of Health?” Lussier asked during a recent interview.In addition to its conservative ideology (a recent ad attacked ‘welfare bums’) the party is also staunchly federalist.“Apart from the Quebec Liberal Party, the Quebec Conservative Party is the only clearly federalist provincial party.Currently, all politicians speak of change, but I know that real change can be achieved only from a clear

riewsroom@sherbrdokerecord.com % ,/(Hv ' The Record Will they vote?By Francois Tanguay As September 4 nears there is only one question on my mind: Will they vote?They.are the youth that have been in the streets for months.Most will probably have the right to vote for the first time and after the election the numbers will tell us how much they really care about their future and how they realy care about the political process they criticized so much.It would be a huge disappointment if the 18 to 25 crowd voted in low numbers.A 75 per cent voter presence at the poles is what I expect in this election because it is a highly contested one and because it just may be the most crucial in a generation.As one protester said: “Our dreams are bigger than the polls.” Well now is the time to put up, to vote the talk! So if the young voters turn out at below the global participation level they will lose their right to protest for a while.I can already hear the remarks from all sides of the political spectrum: where were you on September 4?The leaders of the spring uprising must absolutely convince their members to vote.Some of them were brilliant.Léo Bureau-Blouin for one was outstanding considering he was front and centre every day for months and never lost his cool, something most politicians couldn’t handle for more than a few days.Bureau-Blouin went political and totally assumed his destiny.Whether he wins or loses in Laval des Rapides he deserves kudos from everyone for his remarkable social engagement.Now that students are back in class they have one last deed to do: Vote.Their massive participation would most likely mean the demise of the Liberal government, but beyond that they must understand that a vote is like a protest march, it happens once and the next day you must continue to be just as political.They should be reminded that in many countries voting is a risky act.So much so that to make sure electors could come out and vote on election day, some countries go as far as making it an punishable act not to do so.The only way to protect voters was to force them to vote by law! Voting is a privilege, choosing who will represent you for the next few years is a simple deed, yet has to be backed by what you do every day for this period.In the end everything is political, from making babies to joining a co-op, from recycling to over consuming.Let us hope the coming generation of leaders sends us all a strong signal on how much they care about the future.A low showing would be the biggest political ‘downer’ of the year.On September 5 let’s hope we celebrate the biggest victory: A massive participation of voters, with the students leading the way.It would be the biggest landslide victory of all.The Green Party has important points to make By Nick Fonda Ironically, no Green Party candidate took part in the multi-party debate which took place Wednesday evening at the Sherbooke Golf Club.The irony is that the debate was hosted by CREE, le Conseil Regional de l’environement de 1’Estrie.One would think that the Green Party, the raison d’être of which is the environment, would have been the first party on the invitation list.As it was, the request from a Townships-based, Green Party candidate to take part in the debate, could not be accommodated.As was reported in The Record (Tues, Aug.14), the debate centred on five themes: The fight against oil dependency and sustainable transport: self-sufficiency and sustainable agriculture: development of technologies for green energy; sustainable management of our natural resources; biodiversity loss/climate change.The Green Party candidate who requested to participate would be very glad to stop depending on oil and would love to see sustainable transport, that is, vehicles that run on renewable energy.The real question is, why has Quebec not yet developed electric vehicles?At least a decade ago, there were news stories about a small Quebec-based firm that was working on developing an electric car.Whatever happened to that company?Electric cars are not the stuff of science fiction.General Motors built 3,000 electric cars in the 1990s, leased them to drivers who raved about the cars, then took them back three years later and destroyed all but one.Today, if you’re rich enough, you can buy a Tesla, a high performance, California-built electric car.You can also buy a Chevrolet Volt for a lot less.The fact is, Quebec could have been on the leading edge of that curve.Quebec, probably more than anywhere else in the world, is the ideal place for the development of sustainable transport because we are so rich in hydro electricity.Similarly, self-sufficiency and sustainable agriculture is something the Green Party has long been preaching.As a society, it is crucial that we be able to feed ourselves.Tragically, in Quebec, farms—virtually all of them traditional-style family farms—are disappearing at the rate of one a day.Farmers, whose lives are precarious enough, are undervalued for their contributions.Government policies which work to the benefit of large factory farms inevitably work against the small family farm.Yet.it is the small scale farmer who is far more likely to care for his land and his livestock, that is, to work in harmony with his environment and therefore to make agriculture truly sustainable.The Green Party is very much in favour of investing in the development of technologies for green energy.Indeed, the Green Party has been preaching this since its inception.We are starting to see more wind-generated power and hopefully we will see similar strides in solar power.Quebec’s enormous wealth in terms of hydroelectric power has probably adversely affected the interest in wind and solar power, but this is slowly changing.Investment in green technologies is and always has been at the heart of the Green Party platform.As for the sustainable management of our natural resources, again, the Green Party is all for it.The Green Party strongly believes that whenever natural resources are being extracted, the local population should be direct beneficiaries of the project.The Green Party platform proposes to create a fund from which regions would be given 10 per cent of profits from natural resources to serve have-not areas and demand guarantees of 70 per cent to 100 per cent, in advance, of the cost of restoration for sites used.Such a policy would limit the damages left by the slash-and-burn approach which is so frequently adopted by those extracting natural resources.The final topic of the debate, biodiversity loss/climate change, is (or are) of deep concern to the Green Party.Habitat loss leads directly to biodiversity loss, hence the Green Party’s concern with the environment.As a society, it is essential that we be conscious of, and act in accordance with, the environment in which we live.All of our wealth is taken from the planet which we inhabit and every time a species is rendered extinct by our actions, we are impoverishing ourselves, even if we're not immediately aware of it.It is ridiculous of us to deny climate change just because doing so permits us to add to our bank account.Midas wished for a magic touch to turn everything into gold; we will meet the same fate as Midas if we insist on seeing everything in economic terms.What did the parties invited to the CREE debate say Wednesday night?It is to be hoped that they all said much what the Green Party candidate would have said.Nick Fonda is the Green Party candidate in the Richmond riding.! ¦ I I IF—.11 RECORD P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 516 or 1195 Galt E.Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax for Newsroom onit *19-569-3945 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBsm: svww.sherbrookerecoid.com Sharon McCully Publisher .(819) 569-9511 Daniel Coulombe News Editor.(819) 569-6345 Stephen Blake Corresp.Editor .(819) 569-6345 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman.(819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS Accounting.(819) 569-9511 Advertising .(819) 569-9525 Circulation .(819) 569-9528 Newsroom .(819) 569-6345 Knowlton office SB Victoria Street, Knowiton, Quebec, JOE 1 VO Tel: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 1 YEAR SUBSCRIPTIONS GST 120.00 6.00 PST 11.97 TOTAL $137.97 6 MOffTHS 63.00 3.15 6.28 $72.43 3 MOliTHS 32.00 1.60 3.19 $36.79 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of 77te 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, CARD, CNA, QCNA Letter Dear Editor: T^iis Sunday, August 26, Magog Saint Paul’s United Church coi gregation, will officially unveil i new carillon, which is being dedicate to past and present war veterans of th parish.Mr.Lloyd Styan, himself a veteran ( the Second World War, was the instig tor of this initiative, supervising the a quisition of the new carillon.He recal how some three decades ago, St.Paul carillon-chimes brought pleasure to many in the community, but with chagrin to many, the chimes had to be dismantled, due to maintenance costs.This Sunday’s service begins at eleven o’clock, and to which visitors will be welcomed.Mr.Styan, was the second youth of Magog to leave his community to serve in the Second World War, from 1939 till repatriation in 1945.M.Mclauchlan & C.Catchpaugh Magog The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Friday, August 24, 2012 .Page 7.MNIST That this has received attention seems disproportionate given how big the world is and how many other people are doing immature things every day Is nothing sacred anymore 1?'"1 û o /"I D 1 N 4 *¦ 1 « 11« ._J__ y» it* t • Steven Black It seems that an American politician has taken some heat for trying to cool off by going for a night frolic in the Sea of Galilee.According to some reports, there had been a bit of a party by the water.Some food and alcohol had been taken and the partyers were having fun.Goaded on by waiters, these revelers decided to take a dip.Apparently, certain watchers became indignant to see that unlike the other swimmers.Representative Kevin Yoder was buff.Naked that is.And since there were pictures to share, they were.This way other watchers could be offended too.The incident was reported as a tasteless Animal Farm-like romp, unbecoming of an American law maker.Doubtless this is true.(By the way, Canadian law makers would be exempt from such charges since we have film of Bob Rae and Rick Mercer gleefully leaping off a dock with their backsides mercifully blurred and this only made CBC, not CNN.) But the thing that got so much of the attention is that it took place in the Sea of Galilee - the site where Jesus Christ served most of his public ministry and performed many of his famous miracles including walking on water.Commentators stated that the others were “appropriately dressed” for their dip in the holy place, not so for Mr.Yoder.That this has received attention seems disproportionate given how big the world is and how many other people are doing immature things every day.After all, we could cruise the shores of any of our lovely Quebec lakes on a hot summer’s night wearing night vision goggles and find many such scenes.I guess there are several reasons that this has gotten any attention at all.First, our version of journalism loves the “tee-hee” factor.Don’t we love anything to do with the foibles of celebrities - especially when they are Republican politicians?No one would be shocked if he were a Democrat because we expect some of them to be free-spirited back-to-nature sorts, don’t we?We’ve seen President Obama, man of the people, buying beer for patrons in bars, but if it were a Republican leader treating strangers that way there would be a huge public uproar trying to goad Republican teetotalers.This is an election year too.Therefore, any news that has pictures that can be played repeatedly while an expert panel discusses them, is a potential ratings grabber.If the content is irrelevant to the weighty issues at hand but certain to stir things up for the average unthinking American, so much the better.An important part of this story, though, is where it took place.There seems to be some kind of feeling that the Sea of Galilee is a holy space that ought not to be violated by anything as crass as skinny dipping.Who knows what “appropriately dressed” means to those who were scandalized?Do we think that the only appropriate use for the water is Christian baptism or for taking a stroll?Come on - it is a lake.People live around the lake.They fish in it and enjoy water sports.They do business there.People take vacations on its shore.They fall in love there and have arguments there.And, yes, they swim too.In fact, over the years many thousands have taken dips in the heat of the day and night.For centuries when there was no such thing as Speedo to design swimwear for men who have no busi- ?• ness wearing them in decent company, people swam in this lake.No less a person than St.Peter swam in the lake - albeit fully clothed according to one reported incident.Is it so hard to imagine that the other disciples and maybe Jesus himself swam here too?Perhaps they even had fun doing it?We have such a confused notion of what is sacred these days.We cherish and preserve crucifixes in the National Assembly but want to ban religious symbols at the SAAQ.Some frown at Republicans skinny-dipping in a lake, but express outrage when the protest band, Pussy Riot, takes over the altar area of a church during a sacred service and is charged with hooliganism.Was this “out of proportion?” Yes.The whole confused mess is.The Sea of Galilee is not like a Cathedral that is set apart for sacred observance.It is a place for living according every aspect of human life.Jesus lived by these shores too.He wasn’t the kind of Saviour that only walked in pristine religious sanctuaries.He got mixed up with childish, hypocritical people.He did so even with “sinners and publicans,” which sounds a lot like “Republicans” come to think of it.Thank God for that.It gives me hope for people like us too.Richmond welcomes new public works director Richmond As of August 27, Yves L’Heureux will be the new director of public works / parks and buildings for the town of Richmond.City Council approved his hiring, at an extraordinary meeting Wednesday morning.Board members are pleased with this appointment.Director General, Daniel Leduc, says he is excited to work with Mr.L’Heureux.“His greatest strengths are his experience as a manager and his versatility.He has worked in municipal positions in the past, which led him to possess the key skills that we needed specifically for the vacancy.It was the right thing to do and my team and I are very proud of to have him join us,” Leduc says.As Public Works Foreman for the City of Waterloo for several years, Mr.L’Heureux has expertise in employee supervision and management of human and material resources.In addition to being bilingual, he has training in health and safety at work, workplace safety, and drinking water among others.As Director of Public Works, Parks and buildings, L’Heureux will be responsible for ensuring the maintenance, code compliance and cleanliness of the city’s infrastructure, such as roads, sewers and water systems, sewage treatment plants, parks, buildings, the COURTESY The new Director of Public Works, parks and buildings in the City of Richmond, Yves L'Heureux (left), accompanied by the Director General, Daniel Leduc.arena and other urban infrastructure.Board members and senior management take this opportunity to sincerely thank Mr.Eric Therrien for his twelve years of service to the population of the town of Richmond and wish him good luck in his new endeavors.FOR Québec WE SUPPORT FAMILIES BY Increasing dental care for youths from age 10 to age 16.Providing $100 towards school supplies for the parents of students who attend an elementary school.Commiting to support businesses that create daycare spots in the workplace.THE CHOICE IS CLEAR 1 I f plq.org FOR a strong economy FOR responsible leadership FOR job creation FOR stability FOR the Plan Nord FOR QUÉBEC NATHALIE G0GUEN SAINT FRANÇOIS Page 8 Friday, August 24v 2012.ne wsroôm@sherbrookereoord .com ThfeReeord' Partage/Share food bank in Potton is grateful for your generosity The Scoop Mable Hastings On Saturday, August 11, as part of the Multi-Cultural Festival celebrations in Pot-ton, the Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre Partage/Share food bank program held a Bake Sale Fundraiser.With baked goods generously donated by numerous volunteers from the community, the table was filled with sweets to satisfy any dessert lover and also offered homemade bread and rolls.Partage/Share committee members and the organizers of the fundraiser; Christine Ruiz and Norma Clifford send out a big ‘Thank You’ to all of the people who donated food and to those who came by and purchased treats in support of the food bank.It is the generosity and support of the community that made the fundraiser such a success bringing in $573.83 to help the group to continue to serve families in the community.Even “Shadow,” Christine’s three and a half month old American Akita puppy, found a way to help out the cause that day.For those who did not have a sweet tooth but wanted to make a donation, the young and extremely cute canine was on hand and folks were invited to “pat the puppy” at fifty cents a shot; Shadow raised $5 in donations in less than five minutes! Shadow plans to make appearances at other Partage/Share events as he really enjoyed all of the love and attention; the donations were a nice bonus! The food bank operates twelve months of the year and although the program receives a lot of support at Christmas time, donations are always needed.At the present time, the committee is working hard to replenish their shelves which get pretty empty this time of year.Anyone wanting to donate non perishable items is encouraged to drop them off at the CAB office located at 314 Main Street (upstairs in the CISC building) where committee and CAB staff member, Nancy McClure will be happy to receive your items.If you would like more information, please call Nancy at 450-292-3114 from Monday to Friday during business hours.In the next couple of months, the Partage/Share committee and their Christmas “elves” and volunteers will begin working on the Christmas boxes.The program is lucky to have a devoted and motivated group of volunteers who work very hard during the holidays to help families in need.Volunteers are needed at other times throughout the year as well.If you would like to get involved, please contact the CAB.The Partage/Share committee is committed to offering confidential support to families and individuals in need.For more information about the Partage/Share food bank or any of the other CAB programs, visit their website at www.cabmn.org Once again, to everyone who made the Bake Sale Fundraiser in support of the Partage/Share food bank the success that it was, your support was and is much appreciated.MABLE HASTINGS 'I IMI \ I VIRI "Aon Partage/Share Food Bank volunteers, Christine Ruiz, ‘Shadow1 and Norma Clifford who extend a big “thank you” to the communityfollowing their recent Bake Sale fundraiser.Megantic historical raising money for orphan cemetery By Stephen McDougall Kinnear’s Mills Donald Beattie has been mowing a lot of grass lately, but it is not his own.A member of the Megantic historical society, he has been cutting grass at several old cemeteries where many of his ancestors and friends are buried.“We call them orphan cemeteries because the churches no longer exists,” he said.“It is up to us to keep the gravestones in view for people who are coming back to find their long lost relatives.“If we don’t cut the grass, the stones can be very difficult or impossible to find.” Beattie said more and more, the relatives and friends are coming from farther way, such as the U.S.or Australia.Many have no records other than what they read on the gravestone.“Many records were stored in Quebec City, but over the years, some of them were lost,” he said.“We want to make sure they can find the information they want.We would hope future generations will do this for us when we pass.” Bur mowing the cemeteries is only one part of the work people like Beattie do.They also have to make sure the gravestones are erect and level, that missing soil is replaced and the fences are not falling down.“The worse the shape of the gravesites are, the harder and longer it is to mow, which costs us time and money,” he said.“But more important, the keeping of the sites orderly is also paying respect to our ancestors, many of whom were pioneers to this area.” On Saturday, August 25, the society will hold a BBQpork roast supper to raise money for one Anglican cemetery - St.Luc’s - in East Broughton The supper will be held at 1:30 in the afternoon at the Kinnear’s Mills Orange lodge community centre.“There will be roast pork and salads and desserts and hayrides,” said society president Rev.Ross Davidson.“There is also music and dancing throughout the afternoon and evening.We have a lot of tickets sold already.” Tickets are $15 and $8 for those aged six to 12.” “We hope to have more suppers and other fundraisers for other cemeteries soon.” added Davidson.“This may a sparsely populated area, but a lot of history comes from here and we want to save it.” For more info, contact Beattie at 418-424-0661 or Davidson at 418-334-0587 Specialist of Chrysler and Dodge trucks for over 40 years.Michel Comeau thanks you for the support that you have shown him for the past year at Magog Concept Chrysler.Always a pleasure to serve you!

Please join us in wishing Irene Matheson a very Happy 90th Birthday on September 6! Happy Birthday, Mom! We love you, always and forever Your Family xoxo her do it.Tell your husband you will no longer be involved in his issues with Barbara, and when he brings up her weight, simply reply, “Yes, dear,” and then ignore him.Dear Annie: I received permanent custody of my cousin’s 14-month-old son because of his mother’s neglect.The boy is now 4.He has called me “Mommy” from the beginning.I refer to his bio mom by her first name.However, when we are at family gatherings, she insists on calling herself “Mommy.” She gets in his face and says, “Who am I?What’s my name?” And then he looks at me, totally confused.My cousin and her family are struggling with the fact that I am the only mommy he knows.I will tell him the truth when I feel he is mature enough.But shouldn’t they have more respect for me and not confuse him?— Mommy that Matters Dear Mommy: Whether or not they respect you, they should respect the child and not do things that will confuse and disturb him.Still, you cannot control what these relatives do, so we recommend you inform your son about his origins in an appropriate manner as soon as possible.He needs to understand that this woman is his biological mother, but she was unable to take care of him and you wanted him very much, and you both love him deeply.Talk to your pediatrician about the best way to handle this, and perhaps get a referral to a family therapist.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Happy Birthday UL:i on Saturday, August 25 to a “jolly good fellow” from Cookshire.Mac Fraser Love and best wishes, your family and friends Have a wonderful birthday, Mac!
