THE 70 CENTS WWW.SHERBROOKERECORD.COM Monday, September 8, 2003 RECORD The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Peter Treacy recognized for being a Caring Canadian RECORD FILE PHOTO Peter Treacy (far right) spends most of his time getting the disabled to try a growing number of outdoor activities.By Maurice Crossfield For those who know him, it’s really not much of a surprise that Rnowlton’s Peter Treacy has been recognized by the Governor General as a Caring Canadian.Treacy, founder of the Eastern Townships Disabled Skiers Foundation, was among 49 Canadians recognized for their extraordinary help or care for people in their community.“He has made it possible for people with a variety of disabilities to experience the exhilaration of alpine skiing, while increasing their physical dexterity, improving their selfconfidence and making new friends,” reads the citation.The Caring Canadian Award was created by then Governor General Romeo LeBlanc in 1996.The aim was to recognize the “unsung heroes” who are dedicated to helping others in the community.Sounds a bit like Peter Treacy.“I received a letter from Ottawa a couple of months ago asking if I would accept it,” Treacy said Friday.“I never said anything to anyone about it.” Instead Treacy has kept busy with the Eastern Townships Disabled Skiers.Starting out a decade ago as an idea to help the disabled discover the thrills of downhill skiing, the group now has 70 volunteers and 60 skiers.See Treacy, Page 4 Holy Sunflower! PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL “I don’t know how.It just grew and grew,” said Diane Castonguay when asked how a sunflower in her yard got to be 13 feet four inches high.“I always play music in the com patch, to keep the raccoons out.Maybe that had something to do with it.” It was certainly not special attention that led to the exceptional growth of Castonguaÿs sunflower, although she said she planted it in good ground in a sheltered spot.“I would’ve given it some special attention, but I didn’t know it was going to get so high.When it reached 10 feet, I started giving it some sheep manure." Castonguay added that she grows her sunflowers not for any practical purpose, but for their colour and beauty.“I always call them my happy faces," she said.— Tom Peacock " What âlcï Î r We can help you hear it all loud and clear!

projects for the elderly and homeless.London holds rehearsal for dealing with terrorist attack London Wearing state-of-the-art breathing gear and hump-backed chemical suits, London's emergency services teams conducted a dress rehearsal for calamity Sunday, testing their ability to respond to a terrorist attack on the city's subway system.It was the first time the British cap- ital — which is widely considered a prime target for a terrorist strike _ has openly practised its emergency procedures.The operation came just one week after Britain's senior police officer declared that a suicide bomb attack in London is almost inevitable and that London police are now on “the highest level of alert.” Urban-planning conference rekindles hope for cities Edmonton ’ “You might say as go the cities, so goes Canada," said an architect and leading Canadian thinker on urban planning at a national conference being held in Edmonton.Strategies for Urban Sustainability, which runs this week, has attracted several top thinkers, including Sir Peter Hall, a world-renowned urban planner and keynote speaker at the conference.In practical terms, urban success means a city with an efficient transportation network, clean water, breathable air and ample parks at a price cities can afford.But becoming that place requires a realistic, long-term vision of what your city will look like, Hall said.Any threat so far contained in Kabul: Cdn.commander Kabul, Afghanistan The number of threatened attacks against international troops in Afghanistan is climbing almost daily, but so far the soldiers and Afghan police have managed to foil all attempts to harm members of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the commander of Canada's troops in Afghanistan said Sunday.“The threats have spiked since July,” said Maj-Gen.Andrew Leslie, the senior Canadian officer in Kabul and second in command of ISAF.“Over the last couple of weeks, we've had a number of reports that Taliban and al-Qaida activists have made specific threats .against (interim Afghan President Hamid Karzai, the UN, United States forces, and ISAF.) “We've had a variety of ‘steers’ ’ (tips) that indicated there were a number of very real threats .including vehicles with explosives that were out there roaming around looking for a target.” Canadians divided over definition of marriage Vancouver It doesn't get any closer than this: Canadians are sharply divided over a federal plan to change the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples, with 46 per cent for and 46 per cent against.As opposition to same-sex marriages galvanizes in B.C.with rallies planned for Vernon and Tssawwassen today, a public opinion poll was released by NFO CF group that gives further insight into how Canadians feel about one of the summer's hottest political issues.The survey found opponents felt more strongly about the issue, showing about one-third of Canadians “strongly” oppose gay marriages and less than one-quarter “strongly" support it.The poll also found a significant difference along age lines, with the younger Canadians are, the more likely they are to say homosexual weddings are OK.Some 60 per cent of those polled who were under the age of 35 were in favour of same-sex nuptials.The Draw 2003-09-05 06 14 2§ 35 36 44 4Z Bonus: (3Q) Total sales: $28,323,010 Next grand prize:

prrnpn Police chief recognized for work PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL Michel Carpentier will receive a Caring Canadian Award from Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson for his work with a multitude of community organizations.Carpentier receives award from Governor General By Tom Peacock Sherbrooke Police Chief Michel Carpentier is among 49 Canadians recognized recently by the Governor General of Canada for unpaid voluntary contributions to their communities.Carpentier will receive a Caring Canadian Award from Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson for his work with a multitude of community organizations and charities within the next few weeks.Ever since he started working as a police officer in St-Michel in 1972, Carpentier has been lending a hand in almost every aspect of his community’s life.From organizing sports teams to driving ambulances, wherever he saw a need, Carpentier tried to help.“When you live and work in the community you do what you can to lend a helping hand,” he said simply, when asked to explain his drive to volunteer.“The more things you are involved with, the more you end up finding out about other things,” he added.“Part of my motivation is meeting people, and learning about different activities.You learn a lot from being involved.” Most recently, Carpentier’s work for the Canadian Organ Donors Association, better known in Quebec as ACDO, has been his first priority.While working for the Sûreté du Quebec in Montreal during the mid-1990s, Carpentier was the leader in implementing ACDO’s volunteer police driver program.Today, some 2,000 officers from 10 police departments volunteer as drivers for the program, an integral part of the organ transport network.Between 1987 and 2002, ACDO performed 8,849 organ transports.After moving to Sherbrooke in 1995, Carpentier organized an annual golf tournament to raise money to buy vehicles for ACDO’s driver program, as well as to pay for gas and upkeep of the existing fleet.The tournament has been going strong for five years now.Over the last 15 years, Carpentier has also contributed as a volunteer for the Jean Lapointe Foundation, whose mission is to help alcoholics and drug addicts.“As a police officer, you see that stuff everyday,” he said.“You see all the trouble and damage it can cause.If we see that we can something to help them, then why not?” Since 1997, Carpentier has been a member of the steering committee for the foundation’s annual ChapO-Show, which has raised over $150,000.Carpentier is now on sick leave from work after receiving a life-saving liver transplant himself several weeks ago.“After working for years for ACDO, you can’t conceive it could happen to you,” Carpentier said.Although the police chief has to wait for the word from his doctor, he’s optimistic he’ll be able to return to work soon.Carpentier admitted part of the reason he feels it is so important to play a positive role in the life of the community is because his work as a police officer is often construed as a negative force.“We make arrests, we give parking tickets.These things are negatives,” he explained.“But working as a volunteer helps to dispel that notion somewhat.“It helps people to understand that as police officers, we are people, too.” Briefs Youth detention centre resident missing Staff Cindy Armstrong, a resident of the Val-du-Lac youth detention centre in ! Sherbrooke has gone missing.It is presumed she ran away from the centre’s Foyer Envoi, a mini-mum-security residence on Daniel Street from which the young inhabitants are permitted to sign in and out for short excursions into society.Armstrong was last seen Aug.31.The 16-year-old girl is five-foot-three, and weighs 122 pounds.She has black hair and green eyes.Police suspect she may be hiding out somewhere in the vicinity of Waterville.Anyone with information can contact the Sherbrooke police at 821-5555.Dangerous driving causes crash in Knowlton By Tom Peacock An 18-year-old from Granby crashed his car into a telephone pole after trying to pass another car on a double-yellow line in Knowlton on Sunday.The crash left four of the occupants of the Neon including the driver with minor injuries.The front-seat passenger, however, was badly injured.“The front right-hand side of the car received most of the impact," said Sûreté de Quebec spokesperson Manon Gaignard.The 18-year-old was admitted to the Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital in Cowansville, and later transported to the Charles Lemoyne Hospital in Longueuil.Gaignard said charges of dangerous driving may be levelled against the driver because of the nature of the crash.“It appears he was driving at a high speed when he tried to pass the other car on a double-yellow line at the end of a comer,” she said.Gaignard could not say whether or not the driver will be charged with driving under the influence.Public service guru dismisses reforms By Kathryn May CanWest News Service Canada’s dean of public administration says governments have made such a mess out of trying to reform the public service that they should leave it alone and “live with it.” At age 86, Ted Hodgetts has spent a lifetime studying the public service and read the latest reform bill having seen it all before.Every major stab at reform in the 20th century — and he’s either been there or written about it — tried to wrestle with the same issues: how to simplify and streamline the bureaucracy without losing merit, non-partisanship and accountability.And none has worked.In each case, this pursuit of simplicity ended up creating new agencies or structures, tying up the bureaucracy in more rules, red tape, delays and legal battles, while slowly chipping away at the sacred principles it was trying to preserve.“There’s nothing wrong with this re form, but they are repeating themselves, banging their head against the wall to try and produce utter logic into a system that will always confound logic.It’s just too complex and the more actors you get into the system, the more the territorial fights there will be,” Hodgetts warns.Just as worrisome, says Hodgetts, is the ever shrinking size of the “core” public service to be covered by the reform bill and the explosive growth of what he calls the “second public service.” David Price, M.P.DAVID PRICE, M.P.Compton-Stanstead 4777 Bourque Blvd.Rock Forest, QC J1N 2G6 (819)

School’s back and so is the daily dilemma of packin’ a lunch.Although easy to slap together, a peanut butter sandwich day after day gets very stale, very fast.Then there’s the added worry over fat and empty calories.In Canada, 15 per cent of kids are overweight and the number is growing.How do you get your kids in the 85 percentile?How do you keep them there?Cut back their TV/computer time and add 30 minutes of exercise every day.Prepare healthy meals at home.Pack a lunch that’s good for them and that they’ll actually eat.Jasmin Hoeven, a registered dietitian and program manager with Edmonton’s School Lunch Program, says it’s not that hard.A nutritious and balanced lunch includes something from each of the four major food groups and breaks down something like this: • The grain - two slices, 60 per cent whole wheat bread.Source of dietary fibre and an acceptable substitute for white-bread kids.But variety is the spice of life.Try experimenting with wraps, buns, flat breads.One kid in the hot lunch program that Hoeven manages had never seen pita bread before.“He was crying and we had to explain to him that nobody had sat on his bread,” she says.• The meat - chicken or meat you cook at home (make a little extra when you roast that beef or those chicken legs) - last night’s leftovers are better than processed meats because they’re leaner.But deli meats are OK too.Source of protein and holds off the hungrys because it takes longer for the stomach to break it down.Avoid or limit lunchables, pre-packaged processed meat, cheese and crackers, which cost a lot and are high in fat.CANWEST NEWS SERVICE Alissa Thompson, 10, left, and her mom Arlene help Jasmin Hoeven, a registered dietitian and program manager for Edmonton's school lunch program, prepare lunch for a meeting.• The veggie - four sticks of carrots or • The fruit - a whole piece of fruit, an celery sticks.You can include a bit of apple, an orange.May not sound excit-calorie-reduced salad dressing as a dip- ing but it’s all a matter of presentation, ping sauce.Hoeven says.“Sometimes you just have to change the way you offer a food to a child.” What if your kid doesn’t TAKE LUNCH TO SCHOOL?Once you reach junior high and high school, it’s considered uncool to brown bag it, though some kids are bucking the system, bringing lunch anyway or demanding healthier foods at school.Junior highs have canteens, high schools have cafeterias, where they can buy lunch, but there may not be much on the menu that’s not fried.“Quite frankly they offer a lot of junk food, but I’m getting the sense that schools are moving away from that even though kids really like it,” Hoeven says.What if your kid doesn’t eat lunch?Lots of kids barely eat breakfast and then don’t eat all day because they don’t want to eat in front of their friends because of peer pressure.“Often girls won’t eat a bag of chips in front of friends because everybody’s competing to see how skinny they are,” Hoeven says.“The whole body image thing comes into play and we’re seeing it in younger and younger kids now.” Ironically, by not eating all day and waiting until they get home after school to chow down, kids usually end up eating more.“They go home and eat everything that’s not nailed down because they’re so hungry, and there’s a tendency to overeat when you're really, really hungry,” Hoeven says.Any ideas for healthy after school snacks?Have fruits and veggies cut up in the fridge whiting for them.Cheese and crackers or sandwiches are good, too.“If there’s no food available, they’re more likely to go elsewhere,” Hoeven says, like stopping at a fast food restaurant or at a store to buy junk food on the way home.Treacy: Cont’d from Page 1 This summer the ETDS took to the waters of Brome Lake, to learn the ins and CinémaQ outs of disabled water skiing.“We were the first in Quebec to do water skiing for the disabled,” he said.“They just love it.The kids were all a bit apprehensive at first, but they were all able to do it.” Treacy is more at ease talking about the volunteers and the inspirational stories of the skiers he works with.Retired from a career at IBM, he now spends most of his time working with the disabled.When he’s not helping out with the local Lion’s Club or the food bank, that is.Courage “I thought I knew what courage was, but I didn’t have any idea.” he said.“The kids are so positive, honestly you get flushed.There’s a lot of courage out there.” Recently Treacy was asked to return to IBM, an offer which hie turned down.He’s too busy.“It’s not a monetary thing: it’s something you can’t buy,” he said.“I love it with a passion.” With the summer water skiing program now firmly established, Treacy is working on introducing canoeing and kayaking next summer.As always he’s looking for all the support he can get to purchase more of the specialized equipment that makes it all possible.“It makes a nice branch between summer sports and winter sports,” he said of the ETDS latest venture.“We want to go to a full program next summer.” Treacy’s plans don’t stop there.“My dream was to start a ski program,” he said.“Now my dream is a sports centre for the disabled.That’s my goal.” That centre would offer year-round activities, helping disabled people learn to do sporting activities that they wouldn’t have dreamed of doing before.It may offer part of its activities at Owl’s Head, the ski hill that first welcomed the ETDS, and Brome Lake.“The laughter and smiles are so rewarding,” he said.“Everything’s possible, if you get the right people involved.” While working on that Treacy is busy preparing for the winter program, and for next summer.He’s also busy responding to those who log onto the group’s Internet web site, at www.fshe.org “Students can register there, and then we get back to them within 48 hours,” he said.When the interview makes its way back to Treacy’s Caring Canadian Award, he once again turns the spotlight on others.“They singled out one person, but there are so many wonderful volunteers out there, especially in Knowlton," he said. : ——¦THE ¦¦¦¦!¦ ' ' ' - RECORD Monday, September 8, 2003 page 5 Townshippers honour church founder in Austin Austin United Church celebrates birth of John Wesley By Alex Hackett Record Correspondent Austin A large cross-section of Townshippers gathered at the Austin United Church Sunday in an act of worship and symbolic remembrance.Visitors from Georgeville, Stanstead, Ayer’s Cliff and Magog came to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the birth of John Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church.The congregation sang hymns, prayed and listened to readings by Reverends Doreen and Dr.Deane Moffat.The service was followed by a barbecue and feast.The symbolism of the affair had to do with the Church itself.Originally built in 1865, threatened with demoli- tion in the early 1970’s and eventually relocated in 1974 by the McMaster family, the Austin United Church embodies the historical trajectory of the region and the various groups that have populated it.The church was founded and built as Methodist, but was eventually subsumed under the larger rubric of the United Church.Georgeville resident Bernard Drew said this was without a doubt the oldest Methodist church in the area.The only other would be the Georgeville church, built, he said, around 1891.The Austin United Church is renovated now, and acts as a residence at the Windswept farm.A tent was set up outside to house Sunday’s service, as organ music was pumped out mirthfully from under it.The humble church is removed from the roadside where it once stood, but with its newfound anonymity came the plus of a stunning view.Lake Memphrémagog and the various hamlets that rim its shores are breath takingly visible from the church’s perch.Asked what the occasion symbolized, Reverend Dr.Moffat, an ex-baker from Magog, said: “It’s a celebration of our roots in the United Church in Austin, and reminds us of our origins as Christians.A lot of the people in the congregation are original homesteaders from around here, so this church has meaning for them.” Sunday’s crowd was filled with familiar local names like Evans and Bryant.There were even some direct descendants of Austin’s founder, Nicholas Austin.For his sermon, Reverend Dr.Moffat reiterated the essence of Methodism as being deeply compassionate, implicated in the betterment of humanity.He claimed that social programs such as Medicare, old age pensions, and unemployment insurance were rooted in Methodism.Wesley was known for his attempts at breaking down class barriers in his native England.Melvyn Bryant hosted the day’s proceedings.A long-time local, Bryant’s grandfather was the last minister of the Austin United Church.Asked why he was taking part and what the day meant for him, Mr.Bryant said: “Well, Reverend Moffat’s an old school buddy of mine, and because of my grandfather he wanted to know if I’d come down.It’s mainly a community event, with a religious aspect.It’s like the olden days, the old family gatherings, the country gatherings.” The more he talked, the more whimsical and nostalgic he became.“It’s more or less dying out, this tradition, the old style of family living.This is a celebration to relive a part of our history and tradition.If we can keep this alive and pass it on from generation to generation, I’ll be happy.That’s why I came.“And of course, the food’s great, too,” he said, nodding at the mounds of cakes and desserts in front of him.Man dies in fall from ladder Staff Quebec Coroner Dr.Claude Brochu says the 65-vear-old man who fell from a ladder Thursday probably died within minutes of r the accident.Bruno Golja, 65.was working on a window frame tor his sister-in-law at her home on Principale Street in Cowansville.No one saw him fall, but indications are he tumbled from the top of a ladder, fracturing his skull."There was a major cranial trauma,” Brochu said Friday.“This kind of injury can be lethal very quickly, within minutes in fact.” With no one at home at the nme.Golia lay on the ground for up to an hour Detore he was discovered.Brochu said by the time amDulance workers arrived at around 1 p.m.he no longer showed any vital signs.This is the second time tragedy has struck this family in the last year.The owner of the house is Nicole Desourdy, widow of Dennis McCullough, who died suddenly just after Christmas.Known as a compassionate, dedicated educator, McCullough had been the Director of Education for the Eastern Townships School Board.Nudists make pot smoking case By Janice Tibbetts CanWest News Service Two pot-smoking, nudist reverends — who call marijuana the “tree of life” — have a legal argument based on freedom of religion that they should be allowed to toke, says a federal judge.Justice Frederick Gibson refused the federal government’s request to throw the novel case out of court, instead allowing it to go to trial.Brothers Michael Baldasaro and Walter Tucker, the bishop and abbot of the Church of the Universe in Hamilton, Ont., say they feel closer to God when they smoke “the holy plant.” “Finally, finally, our claim has been recognized,” said Tucker, who inhales weed daily as he says his morning prayers.Gibson, in a ruling released last week, concluded that there may be “potential room for relier for the reverends to be cleared of possession charges, but he drew the line at them being able to traffic.“I am satisfied that there is evidence before the court that the plaintiffs sin- cerely believe that marijuana, or as they prefer, “the tree of life,” is a sacrament to them and in their church,” wrote Gibson.“It facilitates their communication with God, their peacefulness and their openness to God and to other persons.” But the judge said it is “contrary to the public interest” to allow the reverends to “disseminate marijuana for donation or reward to support their own religious beliefs and practices and those of adherents to their church.” The Federal Court has not set a date to hear the case.Individual - Couple - Family Counselling Lies Ouwerkerk MA., M.Ed (819) 578-4778 • Interpersonal Relations • Marital Issues •

News Service When Miranda Esmonde-White learned she had breast cancer, she was about to start filming a new TV series on her full-body stretching program.Instead of heading to the studio, she went to the hospital for treatment.A partial mastectomy meant that the ballerina-turned-stretch specialist suddenly lost total range of motion in her left arm and had no idea how to get it back, let alone how to resume teaching others how to stretch and strengthen their bodies."I was scared every time I moved," said Esmonde-White.A tendon protruded from under her arm where lymph nodes had been taken out."I was afraid of popping it.I couldn't lift my arm above my waist." That was five years ago.Eventually, the tendon receded and Esmonde-White, 54, started to get back in shape with the help of her physiotherapist and oncologist.They worked with her to design exercises to regain the range of motion in her arm.Esmonde-White trained at the National Ballet School of Canada and danced internationally for four years with ballet companies including the National Ballet of Canada and London's Royal Ballet before an accident cut her career short.At the time of her cancer diagnosis, she had been teaching her unique "Classical Stretch" full-body program in Montreal for five years.Her own recurring back pain had motivated her to develop the program using her knowledge of yoga, Pilâtes, tai chi, modern dance and ballet, and drawing on experts in chiropractic and physiotherapy.It's a peaceful, fluid workout set to classical music.Movements work on spinal rotation and joint alignment.Participants say it helps them improve posture and body tone, increase flexibility and strength, and achieve the long, lean look of ballet dancers.Results include thinner arms, thighs and behinds, flatter tummies, decreased stress levels and reversed osteoporosis.After her breast cancer rehabilitation, Esmonde-White, who now considers herself cured of cancer, created a stretching video for breast cancer survivors.It's important, she says, to regain the motion in the affected arm right away - but many women are unclear on how to do so safely.They risk developing “frozen shoulder,” motion loss resulting from prolonged immobilization.CANWEST NEWS SERVICE Miranda Esromde-White has no problem stretching after her masectomy.Another complication is lymphedema, when the arm fills up with fluid -extremely painfully.Esmonde-White takes participants through each exercise and explains at which point in their treatment they should be doing them.She also talks about the pain and emotion of rehabilitation."I was traumatized by having the tumour and then again by not moving my arm," she said."The breast cancer video is like my gift to women who have breast cancer." Other workouts include a full body stretch - with the promise of losing three inches from one's waist, hips and thighs in the first month - one on combatting osteoporosis and one on deep stretching for athletes.Esmonde-White has just finished training teachers and hopes to offer classes across Canada.A 30-minute version airs on PBS daily.Physiotherapist Sheena Gilmore, who worked with Esmonde-White to develop the full-body program, says if you think of a muscle as being an old piece of leather, it's easy to tear.A fresh piece of elastic, on the other hand, is much more flexible.Flexibility allows people a greater range of motion to get stuff out of the cupboard, get on their knees to garden, climb stairs more easily and do sports."If you don't do stretching, you'll be stuck," said Gilmore, 72, who plays tennis three times a week and is also a Scottish country dancer."It's a lovely feeling to be able to have full range of movement and to be flexible and do anything without pain."

No more staying up late and sleeping in late, no more non-stop socializing, it’s back to the grind.To take some of the sting out of returning to school, Microsoft recently released their wonderful Encarta Encyclopedia for 2004.This software is a definite “must-have" for all you kiddies going back to school, not only for the incredible depth of information it contains, but because the software is flat-out fun to just look through.It’s often been said that the Internet is the greatest single source of information we’ve ever had access to.That’s absolutely true, but the problem is that it’s sometimes really difficult to sift through all the information and get a reasonable answer to a question.Encarta 2004 takes a lot of the pain out of this process - it makes a lot of information easily accessible.When I grew up, the rich kids were the ones that had the ubiquitous Encyclopedia Britannica in their homes.The rest of us couldn’t hope to compete with that, unless it was in the town library as well.Now, for around $100 you can have more information than those early encyclopedias in a much more updated and useful form.Microsoft has teamed up with the Discovery Channel to add 32 new video clips to the several hundred already included.Weekly online updates help users to keep current and the new Virtual Browser helps you to find material on a given topic very easily by suggesting links.For kids using Encarta 2004 to help with their homework, the new homework Starters help to kick things off with a project.Literature Guides help to give an understanding of different types of commonly assigned assignments, while the Chart Maker makes it a snap to build custom charts to add to presentations.Encarta’s impressive collection of quotations is provided in an easy to use search engine, and the Dictionary Tools will help to build an understanding of language.The Update Encarta option allows you to keep your version of Encarta up to date with the latest articles and Web links regularly.The weekly updates revise articles and add new ones, while also adding a number of new Web Center links for you to go through.The Web Venter links are checked for authenticity, so you should be able to trust that the information given through the links is accurate.An interactive World Atlas with up to 1.8 million map locations, depending on the version of software you buy, enables you to take a thorough look at the world around you.Dynamic Timelines allow you to really take a close look at periods and events in history to get a better understanding of their importance.This really is an amazing resource for the student.If you have a CD player in your computer, or better yet a DVD player, then what are you waiting for?Get yourself out and buy the Microsoft Encarta 2004 as soon as you can! The ONLY thing I don't like about Encarta is that you must have a Microsoft Passport in order to get updates and support.You should be able to simply go to a Web site to download it, but this is really not all that big a deal in order to be able to have and update this wonderful software.Micro security technology spots equipment thieves By Doug Alexander CanWest News Service Out, out damn spot!

et Or lose 46-0 in opener Carabins win first game since return to Q1FC By Nelson Afonso Sherbrooke The Quebec Intercollegiate Football Conference’s newest team experienced major growing pains in their first game of the 2003 season.The University of Sherbrooke Vert et Or were pummeled 46-0 at home by the University of Montreal Carabins on Saturday night in front of a capacity crowd of 7,487.The Carabins entered the QIFC last season, and lost all of their games (0-8), finishing fifth.“It’s not really surprising when you look at what other expansion teams have done (in their first game) in the past,” said Vert et Or head coach Alain Lapointe following the match up.“Almost all of our players had never stepped on to a university field.(They) learned a lot of lessons today.” In fact, Sherbrooke looked lost on both sides of the ball in the opening half.The first two plays resulted in a five-yard penalty and a fumble in their own zone.See Vert et Or, Page 14 Concordia stings Bishop’s 46-3 COURTESY BISHOPS SPORTS INFORMATON Bishop’s Gaiters Dave Parent (5) heads upfield against the Concordia Stingers on Saturday.The Gaiters dropped their season opener 46-3 in Montreal over the weekend.Concordia RB too much for young Gaiters defence By Mike Hickey Special to the Record Montreal The Concordia Stingers jumped to a 24-0 lead over the Bishop’s Gaiters in the first half of Saturday’s season opener, and didn’t look back en route to a convincing 46-3 win.It was a dominating performance from the opening kick-off, as the Stingers opened their new stadium in style.“The new stadium is great, and we put on a good show for our fans,” said Concordia head coach Gerry McGrath.“We wanted to make a statement today, and 1 think we did.” Concordia running back Jean-Michel Paquette paced the Stingers’ attack, finishing with 301 combined yards and a pair of touchdowns.“Two years ago he was hurt most of the season, so last year we rested him a lot during the regular season so he would be healthy for the playoffs,” McGrath explained.“This is his fifth year, and we decided to use him as much as possible and let the chips fall where they may.” They fell in place early, as the Stingers put the ball into Paquette’s hands on their first three plays as he picked up 55 yards to drive the ball deep into Bishop’s territory.See Gaiters, Page 13 2003 Football Season

on Saturday.Morris rushed for 129 yards and one TDina 13-10 loss.Vanier Cheetahs extend winning streak to two By Mike Hickey Special to the Record Lennoxville In a game dominated by defence, the Vanier Cheetahs rallied for an overtime touchdown to defeat the Champlain Cougars 13-10 Saturday afternoon at Coulter Field.With the win, the Cheetahs remain undefeated with a 2-0 record in the Quebec AAA Football League.Champlain, meanwhile, fell to 1-1, and into third place “It was a tough loss, but we can learn a good lesson from it,” said Cougars head coach Sébastien Brière.“We can’t get too high after a win like we did last week.” The Cougars and Cheetahs were tied 7-7 after regulation.Each team was given one possession from the 35-yard line in the first overtime.Champlain drew first blood, as they moved the ball to the five-yard line before Vincent Auger kicked a 12-yard field goal to put the home team up 10-7.Yet on Vanier’s next possession, Cheetahs back-up quarterback Marc Theberge hocked up with Michel Sousha on a 30-yard pass for the score and the win.It was a tough ending for a Cougars defence, having limited the Vanier offence to just 132 total yards and knocked out the Cheetahs starting quarterback.Vanier took an early 7-0 lead after returning a punt 61 yards for the major at the 2:29 mark of the opening quarter.“We watched the return on film, and the coverage was not good,” Brière said.“We had guys jogging on the play.” Champlain did not tie the game until the fourth quarter when Anthony Morris hit the end zone after a four-yard run.The talented rookie running back was the lone bright spot for Champlain’s offence, rushing for 129 yards on 29 carries.The rest of the Cougars gained just 56 yards.“It wasn’t one person, but rather a team problem,” Brière said.“We were having trouble with our formations the entire game.” Champlain is back in action next Sunday when they play Beauce.Champlain will play its next two games on the road before returning home Sept.21 to host the defending provincial champion Vieux-Montreal Spartiates.“We need to have a solid effort against Beauce and get back on the winning track,” said Brière.VU in a pair of tickets! tiINFOEGIVEN University Football Gaiters: Cont’d from Page 12 They would only manage a single after a wide field goal attempt was run out of the end zone by the Gaiters’ Gilles Colon.Bishop’s would not move the ball on their next possession, allowing Concordia to attempt another field goal, this time successfully, and giving the home team a 3-0 lead.After failing to move the ball again, Paquette returned a Gaiters’ punt 73,yards for the major to give Concordia a 10D lead.It was Paquette again a few minutes later as he caught a pass from Jon Bond in the flat, and raced 51 yards down the sideline to pay dirt and a 17-0 lead.Brad Remus completed the first-half scoring when he caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from Bond as the Stingers took a commanding 240 lead into the locker room at halftime.“In the first quarter, our defence showed its inexperience,” said defensive coordinator Marc Loranger.“Some of the rookies, and veterans too, didn’t realize how fast the game was being played.“After the first quarter we started to play better, and did a good job until the fourth quarter when we started to use a lot of different guys.” The Gaiters avoided the shutout when Alexander Dyer kicked a third-quarter field goal.Gaiters’ safety Ryan Smith had an outstanding game with 12 tackles and an interception.Former Champlain standout Dan McCullough added seven tackles and a sack, while fellow rookie Matthew Chown came up four tackles and a pair of sacks.Despite finishing the game with eight catches for 111 yards, Colon was at a loss for words to explain the one-sided result.“I can’t explain what happened,” he said, “We have to watch the game film and see what went wrong.” Concordia’s Bond said that the Bishop’s squad was better than the final would indicate.“They are a physical team, and gave us some good hits,” he said.“They are young and are going to give us better game the next time we play them.” Bishop’s will try to regroup for next Saturday’s home opener

not let others dictate which child you are allowed to love Dear Annie: When I was married, my husband’s 10-year-old son, “Logan,” came to live with us.I loved and cared for him as my own child.At the time of my marriage, my daughter was 5 years old.She saw Logan as her brother and idolized him.Five years later, my 15-year-old stepson and my 10-year-old daughter were playing a game, and under the guise of “fun,” he molested her.My daughter told a friend, who told her mother, who told the teacher, who told the school counselor, who reported it to the police.My daughter now lives with my ex-husband temporarily, and Logan remains with us Cell phone recycling Do you have an unused cell phone laying around?If you do, you can donate it to the Catholic Women’s League.It will be reprogrammed to signal 911 only and will then be distributed among seniors.To donate your old cell phone, call Stella at (819) 563-5872.until his sentencing.I love both these children.I have stood by my daughter through this difficult time.I also have stood by my stepson, whom 1 have loved as my own for five years and cannot abandon as if he means nothing to me.My family thinks I should divorce my husband and get Logan out of my daughter’s life forever.I don’t want either of my children’s lives ruined because of this.I want to protect them both.We have been receiving counseling.The children always will remain supervised, and I will never again assume they are playing innocently- 1 am tired of defending myself.Is divorcing my husband the only way to protect my daughter?—Torn in the Midwest Dear Tom: A parent does not stop loving a child because he or she commits a crime.Logan’s problems require therapy and monitoring, and you are providing both.If she isn’t already, please see that your daughter receives counseling, since someone she trusted took advan- tage of her.She also may be feeling responsible for disrupting the family.There are many ways to keep your daughter safe, including teaching her how to protect herself.Do not let others dictate which child you are allowed to love.Dear Annie: As an editor of a newspaper, I was interested in the letter from the nurse who rendered aid at an accident site.Another woman there passed herself off as a nurse and later got her story in the newspaper.Please tell her to call the newspaper so it can make a correction.What readers sometimes do not understand is that newspapers want to print the correct information, but simply may not know that a mistake has been made.Readers should be encouraged to call the newspaper when something needs amending.Not only will it help the newspaper, but it also will help readers who may not be privy to the correct information.— Want To Get it Right in Colorado Dear Colorado: Many thanks for making it clear that those of us in the newspaper business occasionally rely on our readers to correct inaccurate information.Please, folks, don’t be shy.Dear Annie: My 10-year-old granddaughter was invited to a schoolmate’s birthday party.At the bottom of the invitation, it said, “No presents, please, ‘Susie’ has requested money.” If money isn’t a present, I don’t know what is.I always was taught that asking for a gift of any kind, particularly money, screams TACKY.Needless to say.my daughter and I are very put off by this request.I told her to pick up some play money at the toy store.What do you say?— Confused Grandma Dear Grandma: Such crassness at so early an age! Feel free to ignore Susie’s gift orders.The birthday girl should receive whatever your daughter wishes to get for her, or your granddaughter can make a donation to charity in Susie’s name.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Annie’s Mailbox Morse - Nixon Wedding mfwm me: m.iti** A pretty summer wedding took place on Saturday, July 26th, 2003 at Richmond-Melbourne United Church, when Vicki Lynn, daughter of Chuck and Carol Nixon, was united in marriage to Jason William, son of Delmar and Beverly Morse of Flat-ley.Rev.Reg Jennings officiated at the double ring ceremony.White and burgandv bows marked the guest pews and vases of flowers adorned the altar.The bride and her father arrived at the Church by horse and carriage, driven by Jerome Morin, assisted by Everett Mastine.Vicki, given in marriage by her father, was radiant, wearing a sleeveless floor-length gown of white satin, with lace embroidery and pearls adorning the bodice.Carie Nixon Frost, sister of the bride, as matron of honour, wore a sleeveless empire style gown of burgandy satin with off white accessories and carried a bouquet of assorted silk flowers.The four bridesmaids, Toni Smith, sister of the groom, and close, friends Kathy Kelso, Maegan Bushey and Melissa Wingeat were dressed identical to the matron of honour and carried bouquets of silk flowers.Megan Smith, niece of the groom, as junior bridesmaid and Hannah Frost, niece of the bride, as flowergirl, wore dresses styled the same as the bridesmaids.All of the dresses had been carefully sewn by Lois Roarke.The groom was handsome in a black tuxedo with burgandy vest and tie and a boutonniere of burgandy and white roses.The groomsmen, friends Lyle Roarke as best man and Rob Jamieson, Carl Smith, brother-in-law of the groom and Shawn Frost, brother-in-law of the bride, and Riley Morse, cousin of the groom, as ring bearer, were all in black tuxedos with burgandy cummerbund and ties and a burgandy rose with baby breath for their boutonniere.Carol Nixon, mother of the bride, chose a flowered dress of beige and rust with beige accessories and white carnation corsage.Beverly Morse, mother of the groom wore an ankle-length sheath dress of green and beige.Her corsage was pink and white carnations.The fathers.Chuck Nixon and Delmar Morse wore suits with white and pink carnation boutonniere.The bride’s grandmother.Mrs.Winnie Paterson, chose a burgandy jacKet and sandstone slacks with white accessories ana wore a corsage of pink and white carnations.Mirielle Chamberland, pianist, played the wedding processional and Johnny Pearson, guitarist, accompanied Brenda Nixon, Carole Cabana and Mirielle Chamberland in singing “I Cross My Heart” during the ceremony and "I Could Not .Ask For More” during the signing of the register.Readings were by Melanie Roarke, Erin Nixon and Melissa Ledoux.Melissa, also, did a wonderful job as photographer.Following the ceremony, the bride and groom, were driven to the bride’s home where many photos were taken.The reception was held at the Richmond Fairgrounds where the horticultural building was prettily decorated with green and burgandy tuile and balloons with tiny lights entwined.The tables were each centered with a candle-flower arrangement, made by the bride.Two hundred and twenty guests sat down to a delicious hot-cold buffet supper.The guest book was on a side table surrounded by a collage of photos.The two-tierred wedding cake, made by Sharron Bean, was beautifully decorated in white and trimmed with burgandy flowers.An evening of dancing followed with Dino, from Ce Soir Ons Danse and more family and friends joined the newly married couple.At midnight refreshments were served by Thelma Badger and Carol Converse.Guests attending were from Maine, N.C., Ontario, Montreal area and the Eastern Townships.The following day, family and friends returned for the opening of the gifts.Sincere thank yous were voiced and the bride and groom left for a few days in the Quebec City area.
