threatens reporter with bat Staff Sherbrooke A local reporter and cameraman for the French-language service of CBC television were threatened Friday with a baseball bat when they attempted to get comments from the father of Norbourg investment president Vincent Lacroix.Donald Lacroix, who is a spokesperson for Norbourg, brandished a baseball bat at Radio-Canada reporter Stephanie Tremblay and cameraman Réjean Gagnon when they appeared at his home seeking reaction to the latest allegations of fraud which say Lacroix’s son ran off with some $28 million in investments.Radio-Canada’s Téléjournal reported Thursday evening that an interim re- port from Ernst and Young shows that some $130 million went missing from Norbourg’s investment fund.Forensic investigators for the accounting firm noted that $85 million of that money cannot be retraced.Tremblay received minor injuries to her thumb and a camera was smashed as Lacroix’s father chased them off the property.They took refuge in the station’s mini van.The station made an official complaint to the Régie de police de Mem-phrémagog.Donald Lacroix claims the Radio-Canada team assaulted him and he was simply defending himself.Norbourg was managing some $200 million from about 5,000 small investors.Donald Lacroix has yet to be charged.Hugo Lemay in trouble again By Patrick Lavery Sherbrooke Hugo Lemay, the man who

a full slate of candidates after borough chairman Doug MacAulay and borough councillors Thomas Allen and William Smith deposited their nomination papers on Friday morning.So far, the three candidates appear to be headed for acclamations as no opponents have tossed their hats into the ring.Ascot also has a candidate after embattled councillor Robert Pouliot handed in his nomination papers last Thursday.The former mayor of Ascot and chairman of the city’s public security committee has raised the ire of local police after repeated accusations of misconduct — most of which turned out to be unfounded.Cops close to new contract City council is scheduled to rubber stamp a new contract with Sherbrooke police at tonight’s council meeting.After months of negotiations, unionized officers finally ratified a collective agreement late last week.According to a police union press release from Friday, some 86 per cent of their members accepted the new deal which will remain confidential until it is approved by council tonight.After that, the Association des policiers et policières de Sherbrooke will comment the deal.The city’s 240 full and part time police officers are the last

can be stressful for people.Many times people don’t feel as though their questions have been properly answered.This can lead to conflict between families and caregivers.A new booklet released by the University of Sherbrooke Geriatric Institute provides answers to some of the questions people have when dealing with the end of life of a family member.The booklet was was first conceived by Dr.Marcel Arcand, head of Long-Term Care at the Centre of Health and Social Services of the Sherbrooke Geriatric Institute.He saw the conflicts that arose between families and caregivers and wanted to find a way to get the necessary information out to people in an easy and accessible form.Enlisting the help of Geriatric Institute researcher Chantal Caron, the two interviewed families of people who suffered from degenerative cognitive diseases, like Alzheimer’s.“Marcel works closely with these people,” said Caron.“His approach was to better understand how families feel when they see what happens to their loved one.” The interviews took a year to complete, followed by six months of analysis and compiling of data.The finished product, a 24-page colour booklet, ad- t—r T — i un — .RECORD Monday,

the end of life of a family member.dresses questions people might have at every step of a person’s succumbing to there disease.The booklet follows a common format, with commonly asked questions written in bold and a detailed answer following below.It answers questions like how to deal with someone who stops or refuses to eat.It also explains the option available to the caregivers who look after the person.“We saw that a lot of families weren’t aware of their options,” said Caron.“We are hoping the guide is used by both health care workers and families to better work together.” Caron said the best result the booklet could achieve is to create an exchange of information be tween families and caregivers.The more a doctor knows about a patient’s history, the better their treatment will be.The team hopes the book will be distributed widely around the province and across the country.“We think this will be a benefit for doctors and families everywhere,” she said.The booklet is available in English.Caron said it was important for English families in the Sherbrooke area to have access to it.“We have a large aging English population,” she said.With statistics showing more and more people developing disease like Alzheimer’s, she said it was important that everyone know what they can do to prepare for a family member's eventual passing.The guide was funded with a grant from the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.It is available to individuals at a cost of $5, to offset the costs of printing.It can be found at the Geriatric Institute in Sherbrooke.Local women welcome group from the Netherlands Sherbrooke univ.women’s club keeps friendship afloat By Brion Robinson Sherbrooke Gerda Leshius had always planned to return to Sherbrooke and see her university women friends.Leshius, an Amsterdam native and International federation of University Women member, arrived at Sherbrooke city hall with about two dozen university women members from the Netherlands.They will be visiting the Eastern Townships fro the next few days.She last visited Sherbrooke for a 2001 triennial International Federation of University Women’s convention.Leshius said it’s important for women’s groups to come together, make friends and discuss women’s rights.“We have so much fun together and share the same political ideas ,” she said, noting it’s a friendship that has developed over the years.Sherbrooke councillor Doug Mac Aulay welcomed the women with Que- bec red wine and a presentation on the history of Sherbrooke.The last time the women saw one another was in 2003 when Sherbrooke’s university women’s chapter went to the Netherlands.Eva Scheib and Janet Angrave, university women’s group members and visit organizers from the Eastern Townships, had been planning the reunion since the last one ended.Scheib, who went to the Netherlands, said cultural exchanges stimulate ideas in the federation.“We learn to work more closely together and share our academic experience” Scheib said, adding that the group tackles various issues.The women will stay in the Eastern Townships for a few more days and take in lectures and museum tours before heading to Ottawa.f

Unlike the team's previous three losses, this was a game that the Gaiters could have won and a game in which the defence shined against one of the best teams in the country.Bishop's took an early 3-0 lead on a 29-yard field goal by Kyle Jones at 6:56 of the first quarter but the Carabins answered with a 30-yard field goal by Lamarche on the ensuing drive to tie the game at 3-3 and the home team took the lead for good in the first minute of the second half on another Lamarche field goal, this time for 28 yard line.The Gaiter defence played great all game but a mental mistake led to Montreal's first touchdown as Karl Frah-La-joie scored on a 48-yard draw play to give the Carabins a 13-3 lead midway through the second quarter."This week I talked about eliminating our mental mistakes and we did a much better job of that today," veteran defensive lineman Dan McCullough." Bishop’s could have folded their tents at that point but instead they answered with a touchdown drive of their own as Jamall Lee capped a 78-yard drive with a 2-yard run.Lee was initially stopped at the line of scrimmage but bounced off several tacklers and bulled his way into the end zone.The Gaiters did get a break when a touchdown by Yves Beriault on a punt return was called back because of an offside penalty.Blugh elected to concede a safety late in the half to give the Carabins a 15-10 halftime lead.The second half was marred by penalties and a horrific injury to Beriault.With the ball at midfield, the Carabins tried to exploit the wide receiver,s speed by calling a reverse, a play that resulted in a 55-yard touchdown run in an earlier game against the Sherbrooke Vert & Or.However the Gaiters were not fooled by the play and tackled Beriault for a yard loss.Beriault landed awkwardly and did not move for several minutes.After a long delay he was carried off the field on a stretcher and transported to a local hospital.When play resumed a fight broke out and Matt Chown was one of two players ejected from the game.A few players later a tackle near the Gaiter bench produced further extracurricular activities and more roughing calls."We had to play without two starting defensive lineman and 1 think we still played a good game," McCullough said."I am pumped about this team." The Gaiters closed to within two points of the Carabins with a long drive that was aided by two roughing calls against Montreal and a spectacular pass and run play by Lee that covered 28 yards.However the Gaiters stalled inside the 10-yard line and had to settle for a 13-yard field goal that made the score 15-13 as the third quarter end.Montreal had great position throughout the fourth quarter as a result of strong defensive play and several excellent punt returns.But every time they advanced into the Bishop's side of the field the Gaiter defence rose to the occasion, limiting the Carabins to just two field goals for a 21-13 lead.See Steps, Page 14 Lady Gaiters Drop One To Stingers PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL Bishop’s women's soccer team dropped a lopsided 5-0 decision to Concordia in Lennoxville on Friday.Concordia's goals were scored by Skye Moseley, Julie Pawlusiak, Melanie Poirier, Jennifer Scott and Stephanie Chacon.The Gaiters also faced UQTR on Sunday.• » ' i • ' * page 14 Monday, October 3, 2005 RECORD SPORTS Football Vert & Or in playoff mode * ^ V TV?#*"*^ 000000 o o o ?¦ ; By Mike Hickey Special to The Record The Sherbrooke Vert & Or took a major step toward their first playoff berth since rejoining the university football scene three years ago on Saturday afternoon with a 42-34 win over the McGill Redmen.The victory, Sherbrooke’s second consecutive win, gives the Vert & Or a 3-2 record and a two-game lead over the McGill Redmen as the Quebec University Football League heads towards its annual bye weekend.The win all but assured Sherbrooke one of the four playoff spots in the QUFL.Sherbrooke presently sits alone in fourth place and the only team that can catch them is the 1-4 Redmen.McGill would have to win all three of its remaining games and at the same time Sherbrooke would have to lose its last three games for the Redmen to have a shot at post-season play.McGill will play the winless Bishop’s Gaiters in Win a pair of tickets! v SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9TH, 8 P.M at BAL^XY Lois of great prizes to win To win a pair of tickets, just call in at RECORD Thursday, October 6th at 9 a.m.819-569-9525 The first 10 callers zvirt! two weeks in Lennoxville while the Vert & Or host the defending National Champion Laval Rouge et Or.Sherbrooke quarterback Marc-André Tougas ran for three touchdowns, all on one-yard plunges, to lead the Vert & Or to a road victory in front of an announced homecoming crowd of 1,935 at Molson Stadium.Sherbrooke’s defence allowed over 542 net yards to the high-powered McGill offence but took advantage of Redmen mistakes that included five turnovers.McGill also committed a team record 19 penalties for 194 yards while Sherbrooke was flagged nine times for 104 yards.Redmen quarterback Matt Connell established three McGill passing records in a losing cause.The third-year veteran completed 27 of 48 attempts for 449 yards and three touchdowns but was intercepted four times.Connell broke the school’s single-game record for most passing yards and most attempts, while tying the mark for most completions.Sherbrooke was efficient in the air as Tougas connected on 10 of 22 attempts for 154 yards with one interception.It was on the ground that the Vert & Or were dominant as they rushed for over 300 yards with two running backs gaining over 100 yards.Alain Dorval led the way with 13 carries for 168 yards and two majors, while Diego Râtelle carried the ball 15 times for 110 yards.Pierre-Luc Labbé led the Vert & Or in tackles with four solos and three assisted tackles.Although Sherbrooke yielded a lot of real estate throughout the day, the secondary was opportunistic with four interceptions and one fumble recovery.Steps: Cont’d from Page 13 Bishop’s still had a chance to tie with a major and two-point conversion but was unable to move the ball effectively in the fourth quarter.With less than a minute to play the Carabins put the game out of reach when Michael Shousha’s punt sailed through the end zone to give Montreal a 22-13 lead.Still the Gaiters refused to give up and drove to Sherbrooke’s 10-yard line before time ran out.Lee continued to play beyond his years as he gained 108 yards on 24 carries and two pass receptions.Montreal^ star running back Mroué ran the ball 28 times and picked up 183 yards.Neither quarterback was particularly sharp; Jonathan Jodoin completed just five of 14 pass attempts for 50 yards, while Joel Lefebvre was good on eight of 23 passes for 136 yards.The defeat officially eliminated the Gaiters from post-season play.The Gaiters have a bye this week and return to action the following Saturday when they host the McGill Redmen.it ! Sports Notebook Habs send Latendresse back to junior Guillaume Latendresse is heading back to junior after the Montreal Canadiens assigned the promising forward to the QMJHL’s Drummondville Voltigeurs on Sunday.The six-foot-two 18-year-old has been impressive at training camp, recording three goals and two assists in four pre-season games.-A second-round selection in the 2005 NHL draft, Latendresse collected 29 goals and 49 assists in 65 games with the Voltigeurs in 2004-05.Latendresse, who had become a fan favourite in Montreal for his tenacious physical play, has a shot at playing for Canada at the world junior championships later this year.The move leaves 25 players at training camp.Federer wins Thailand Open again Top-seeded Roger Federer of Switzerland successfully defended his Thailand Open title Sunday by defeating British teenager Andy Murray 6-3, 7-5.The world No.1 has now won 24 consecutive ATP finals including seven this season.Federer raced to a 3-0 lead after just nine minutes in the first set, thanks to two double faults from Murray, which gave him a break in the second game.Murray fought back to 2-4 with an ace and forced Federer to deuce several times in the next game in long rallies, but could not get close enough to challenge.In the second set, Murray dropped the opening game and fell to 1-3 but chased down the balls well to break for 3-3 as the Swiss missed an easy forehand.The run of play then went with serves until Federer took charge at the net to break again for a 6-5 lead.Federer fought back from a breakpoint to set up the championship point after Murray netted a backhand.The match ended as Murray repeated the same mistake.Spencer wins gold medal at world women’s boxing championship Canadian Mary Spencer turned a dream into reality Sunday.The 20-year-old native of Windsor, Ont., captured a gold medal at the world women’s boxing championship, defeating Russian Irina Sinezkaya 28-21 to capture the 66-kilogram title.And just for good measure, Spencer was also named the tournament’s top boxer.Ariane Fortin of Quebec City had to- settle for a silver medal in the 57-kilogram final.She lost 37-22 to Russian Olga Slavinskaya.Canada finished the tournament with a gold, silver and two bronze medals.Spencer became the third Canadian female to win world championship gold, joining Jennifer Ogg of London, Ont., and Crystelle Sampson of Quebec City.Joining such select company wasn’t easy, though.Sinezkaya was a two-time world gold medallist and the defending champion and was also fighting in her home country.But the six-foot Spencer said she was able to neutralize her opponent’s favourite punch.“The plan was that I would keep moving to my right instead of the comfortable and more natural left, this way I would take away her overhand right, which seemed to be her favourite punch, and limit her options,” Spencer said.“My coach (Charlie Stewart) also noticed in her previous fights that she would drop her left hand every time she threw a right, so I would look for the right hand, catch it, and throw my own back at her right away.” Around Town To submit your sporting event, fax it to 819-569-3945, e-mail newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com or contact Mike Hickey at 819-56^6345.

and married Florence Purdue of Floral Park, Long Island, on October 7, 1950.When they settled in Newton, New Jersey in 1952, they began their family of five children and built their home in Fredon

this new marvel.At about the age of 11-12 Keith built small planes out of bamboo sticks and tissue paper until the last one, he built a bamboo frame covered with colored tissue paper, rubber bands to wind up the propeller and a wing span of six feet.It flew about 50 yards and landed in a few pieces, but it did fly and he was happy.Years laater he flew his own Cessna over Coaticook to an altogether

sightseeing in Quebec City.Dear Annie: A few days ago, my husband, who had been running an errand, walked into our house and asked if I had given our neighbor permission to use our water.I said, “No,” and went to see what was going on.Our neighbor had attached his hose to our faucet on the side of our house and was using it to fill his pool.My husband immediately asked our neighbor for an explanation.Our neighbor said that it was an emergency and he needed to fill his pool quickly before it became damaged.He was using his own water, too.Our neighbor said he assumed no one was home because he didn’t see our car in the driveway.He never made an attempt to knock on the door, ring the bell or phone us.Instead, he figured when we saw his hose connected to our faucet, we would question him about it.He offered to pay for the water.I am upset that he didn’t make a greater attempt to ask our permission or notify us.What if we never noticed the hose?How do I know he would haye paid for it if we didn’t catch him?I guess I expected a little more from someone who is a friend, and whose kids play with ours.How should I handle this?— Surprised Dear Surprised: Handle it as if you are fond of your neighbor and have no reason to think he’s lying.Yes, he should have made a greater effort to get your permission, but if it truly was an emergency, it’s understandable that he would assume his good friends would say it’s OK, which indeed, you would have.Since he wasn’t being secretive, and offered to pay for the water, we say let it go.Dear Annie: My parents are both 85 and not

Badger Annie’s Mailbox The problem is we cannot convince my obstinate father to make some provision for my mother or anyone else in case of his death.A living trust, or even just a simple will, could prevent a lot of headaches, red tape and probate costs, as well as ensure that my sister-in-law receives the title to the house that he owns, and in which she is currently living.(My brother is deceased.) I have tried to explain that a trust is the best way to make provisions, for both his care and Mom’s, as they get older.Despite pleadings from my mother and from us, Dad insists he “has a plan” and is going to “take it with him.” He refuses to talk about it or discuss his options with an attorney.We cannot understand this.What can we do?— Cooling Heels Dear Cooling: According to our legal experts, if Dad is mentally competent (and he might not be), no one can force him to do anything about this.If he drops dead without a will while married The Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada invites you to “Give Your Community and Others a Helping Hand” by participating in the Great Canadian Coffee Party on Friday, October 7, 2005 from 9 a.m.until 12 Noon.St.George’s Afternoon A.C.W.invites the public to enjoy coffee, tea, muffins and coffee cake in support of Violence Against Women, both locally and for the Disaster-stricken areas of New Orleans and Mississippi.Learn how violence against women affects our community and communities around the world.Your donations can help local women’s shelters and dis- Foster On September 26th, a Military Whist Card Party was held in St.James Parish Hall with Whist being played at ten tables and with two people at the game table.First prize went to Table #6 with 40 flags with Captain Jean Riti, Amanda Streule, Josy Streule and Herb Riti as scouts.Second prize went to Table #5 with Captain Arnold Fletcher, Doreen McPherson, Edna Badger and June Call as scouts.Consolation prize went to Table #10 with Captain Margaret Royea, Muriel Whitehead, J.P.Mailloux and Sylvain Very as scouts.May Banks was the winner at the game table.Door prizes went to Eva Page, Ruth Lefebvre, Amanda Streule, Nellie Darling, Pat Benoit, Louise Lowrey, Muriel Whitehead, Herb Riti, Earl Whitehouse, to Mom, she will still receive a substantial portion of his estate and so will Dad’s descendants (under your state’s intestacy laws), but the cost of administering the estate will burn up a lot of Dad’s hard-earned money.Make it clear to Dad that his failure to take action will result in lawyers and court-appointed administrators taking a big chunk of what he’s worked so hard for.If he still doesn’t care, there is nothing that can be done.Dear Annie: I’m writing regarding the letter from Bobbe Stuvengen, at the American Legion in Orfordville, Wis., about military honors at funerals.The honor of a 21-gun salute is NOT restricted to high echelon persons, as the writer suggested, but is available to all eligible military veterans.— Harold B.Hanig, Lt.Col., USAF (Ret.)
