a possibility if he’s elected another term.“I don’t think it’s right that someone in a party that is trying to break up the country gets a federal pension,” Price said.“I also don’t feel that Mr.Bernier has done anything concrete for his riding.Take Montjoye for example, he acted as if he had a big part in it but I know for a fact that he had nothing to do with it.” If he is named Tory candidate for Megantic-Compton-Stanstead, Price See Price Pace Murderers breached parole conditions By Paul Cherry Sherbrooke As testimony continues this week at a hearing to grant eligibility for early parole to one of the men involved in the gang rape and murder of Isabelle Bolduc, a federal report questions whether two of the three men involved in the savage attack should have been in prison at the time.The 22-year-old Bolduc was kidnapped, raped and murdered last June.After finding her body in a wooded area, Sherbrooke Police arrested Marcel Blanchette, 51, who had been stopped in Montreal after he kidnapped a pharmacy employee in Sherbrooke, drove her out of town and raped her.Blanchette was on parole at the time as was Guy Labonté who was arrested after police interrogated Blanchette.Blanchette pleaded guilty to first degree murder and has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole before 25 years.Police also arrested Jean-Paul Bain-bridge who had just completed a parole term at the time.Bainbridge entered a guilty plea to the second degree murder of Bolduc and his lawyer, Jean-Marc Bénard, will attempt to get his client’s sentence reduced at a hearing that will continue this week with testimony from psychiatrists.Labonté is awaiting a preliminary hearing.A report on the parole board officials who handled Labonté and Blanchette’s files, details that both of the convicts had taken cocaine during their parole and at least one was charged with im-See murder Page 3 DU-RO 1085 King st.East, Sherbrooke Tel.: (819) 569-9543 vitres d'autos 140 Bourque Blvd., OMERVILLE (Magog) Tel.: (819) 843-8465 mion 56 Main St.East, COATICOOK Tel.: (819) 849-2734 277 De Bigarre St., VICTORIAVIILE Tel.: (819) 752-9679 ANTI Protection against car robbery We also repair or replace windshields page 2 Tuesday, April 1, 1997 THE' Liquid gold is running The tangible signs of spring are here Spring is truly here!

Charest has been listening to party members for the past three years in an attempt to recreate the Tories.He recently released the party’s platform paper promising a more fiscally responsible federal government, a million new jobs in four years and a repeal of the Liberal party’s new gun control laws.MEMBERS HAVE SPOKEN “I didn’t vote for everything that went into that document,” Price said.“But the majority of the party members have spoken and I am satisfied with that." If named as a possible candidate Price would be the second mayor in the region to run for the Tories.André Bachand, mayor of Asbestos, announced he would like a shot at being an MP earlier this year.Today’s Weather A t** ,7 > Thetiord./ Mines .J / Sherbrooke A Richmond • / Lac-Mécanti^« j.Cowansviu/ f | Stanstkad REGIONAL FORECASTS MIN Sherbrooke Clearing -4 Thetlbrd Mines Clearing -5 Cowansville Clearing -4 Richmond Clearing -5 Stanstead Clearing Lac Menant ic Clearing -5 MAX 3 1 3 2 3 2 BEN ® by DANIEL SHELTON IT'S NICE TO GET OUT FOR BREAKFAST ONCE IN AWHILE THIS PLACE IS SO COZY MP I JUST LOVE COMING HERE TO RELAX.'

of several tax shelters which allowed investors to claim a tax break in return for advancing capital for research and develop-ment.Ottawa then claimed tax credits advanced through this and other projects were illegitimate.That's when investor Denis Gauthier declared war.By Matthew Sylvain Special to The Record Richmond For Asbestos notary Denis Gauthier, the road to hell truly is paved with good intentions.In 1991, he along with dozens of area residents, decided to take advantage of a promising federal income tax credit program by forming an association to promote jobs in the economically depressed region.By backing a local greenhouse that was pioneering new technology, investors could take advantage of a research and development scheme heavily promoted by both levels of government.The innovations at the greenouse worked and jobs were created.But just as the game seemed to be won, the rules were changed.Some of the deals initiated under the tax shelter seemed fraudulent, so in 1993, federal assessors abruptly froze the program and started clawing back all revenues from the 8,000 to 15,000 Quebec investors involved.“They claimed money from everyone who invested money in those projects, without any exceptions," Gauthier said in an interview Friday.The government was effectively robbing the legitimate investors of their right to profits.” So began Gauthier’s odessey for justice that has lasted four years.And now with Quebec’s ombudsman agreeing that Quebec investors have been bilked by the government, Gauthier feels his solitary battle is beginning to bear fruit.On April 16, Gauthier will meet with Quebec Ombudsman Daniel Jacoby at the Radisson Hotel in Montreal for a press conference that he hopes will fi- nally put the matter to rest.A year ago, Gauthier asked Jacoby to intervene after a review committee, set up by the Parti Québécois government to look into the way federal bureaucrats applied the Income Tax Act in Quebec between 1989 and 1993, found in favor of the federal government.“I asked him to look into every detail of the file, and give us an opinion on that,” Gauthier said.The decision by the review committee, and Premier Lucien Bouchard’s acceptance of it, came as a surprise to Gauthier, particularly since he had a letter in his files dated July 6, 1995 from then Bloc Québécois leader Lucien Bouchard saying the party “denounces the decision by the liberal government to annul the tax credit in place for four years.” Besides the apparent flip-flop by Bouchard, the review committee’s report revealed that the government considered the Asbestos collective illegitimate, after it had approved its creation in the first place.While awaiting the Ombudsman’s report, Gauthier scrambled to drum up support for his cause, including calling on provincial finance minister Bernard Laundry.According to Gauthier’s recollection, Laundry said he would be willing to come to a financial agreement with claimants if Jacoby’s decision came down in favor of the investors.Jacoby completed his report and sent the 44 page document to Quebec City last December.According to the ombudsman’s report, “we were totally correct everywhere,” said Gauthier.“The government knew perfectly well that people were investing in it, without stopping them.” But Laundry’s support for the idea has since evaporated.At a PQ fundraiser in Acton Vale last month, Gauthier personally handed a letter to the finance minister, asking him to respond to it.Despite agreeing to do so, Gauthier hasn’t heard from Laundry since.In the last two weeks Gauthier has stepped up his campaign, using his position as president of the Société D’Aide au Développement de la Collectivite Region D’Asbestos to arrange interviews with several federal ministers, includ- ing intergovernmental affaries minister Stéphane Dion.Dion had never heard of the case until then.Gauthier admits that the scheme, into which he and his wife invested $35,000, has changed his outlook on politics and the way governments do business.“When they blocked all those projects, maybe they should make rules for the future," he said.“But they blocked everything.They stopped a very dynamic movement by people," he said.“The scandal is that they have a very, very, very short view,” he said.MURDERERS Continued from page 1 paired driving.When Labonté was arrested he was already in prison for breaking his parole.The report also reveals that social workers at l’Etape, a Sherbrooke area halfway- house, found out that the two were drinking, a violation of their parole conditions, and communicated to parole officers that the two were “not doing well" while on parole.The report only goes as far as to recommend that communications between parole officers and halfway-house social workers be improved.Isabelle’s father Marcel Bolduc, sued three Sherbrooke parole officers in January for more than $2 million alleging negligence on their part in overseeing Blanchette and Labonté’s parole.The suit names Corrections Canada employees Sonia Fortin, Pierre Noel and supervisor Michel Choiniere as the alleged negligent officers.Just after launching the lawsuit Marcel Bolduc told the Record that the report was supposed to have been published in December but was held back.He also said he believed the original report probably laid too much blame on parole officers and that the reason for holding it back was to water it down.Bolduc contends that he is not out to end the parole system.He said he believes the system needs a major overhaul and that most officers have to deal with too many cases to be effective.The report criticizes the officers for not performing surprise urine analysis tests on both Blanchette and Labonté and that the officers did not make surprise visits to their homes.The report that was released made no disciplinary recommendations against the parole board or its officers.It instead states that there are regulations already in place to cover the shortcom- ings demonstrated by the Sherbrooke parole officers.The report was released to the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime through the access to information act yet some of it was censored.The report also revealed: - Blanchette, Labonté and Bainbridge met at a halfway house in 1994 and attended AA meetings together and continued their relationship outside the halfway-house, a breach of parole.- Blanchette’s psychiatric profile describes him as very neurotic and paranoid.He has a lengthy criminal record including assault and armed robbery.In September 1995, he was arrested for drunk driving, spent 12 days in jail, and then had his parole reinstated.The parole officer in charge of his case did not inform the parole board of his violation.- Blanchette also eluded correctional-service officers in 1979 and committed two robberies shortly after.Jean-Paul Bainbridge wants early parole.The Honourable Minister of the Agriculture, Guy Julien Promises: 100% Management: 0% Decision: 0% You would be a good deputy — UPA-Estrie page 4 Tuesday, April 1, 1997 the PROVINCIAL AFFAIRS One part economics, one part politics What the budget means to ordinary Quebecers Finance Minister Bernard Landry’s budget released last week is the size of a brick.For some of you, it may feel like one when its full impact is felt; for others, it may be feel just swell, because this budget, like all others, is made up of one part economics and one part politics.Since we all have short memories, here are a few key points: Starting next January, income tax will drop.For example, a married couple each earning $15,000 (or household income:$30,000) and with two children will save $1,296.If that same couple is making $25,000, the saving is $1,354.Plus, because the government is also increasing the provincial sales tax credit, this family will save even more.Not bad.But that’s as high as the savings get.If that two parent/two child family is earning $35,000, the tax saving is $419; at $40,000 or $45,000, it’s $161.Another example: A single parent family with one child over seven and an income of $20,000 will save $1,068; with an income of $25,000, a $2,009 saving; $30,000, a saving of $1,510; and $35,000, a saving of $776.Another: A childless couple (two incomes) will save $779 if total income is $20,000; $617 at $25,000; $392 at $30,000; and $145 at $35,000.However, if that same childless couple has just VAL D’OR The youth wing of the Parti Québécois rejected a call Sunday for total sovereignty in any future referendum.Most of the 200 delegates at a weekend meeting did not rule out proposing another partnership with Canada if a Yes vote wins.The adoption approved by the delegates called on Premier Lucien Bouchard to “support all visible means of informing the rest of Canada in constructive and positive terms on the sovereignty project.” Members of the youth wing plan a publicity campaign in the coming one income source, the savings are quite different.Using the same in-comelevels, the savings are $1,184; $1,286; $1,054; and $768.NO INCOME TAX FOR SOME To sum up, some 200,000 low-income earners will end up paying no income tax in 1998.As well, households with total income of less than $50,000 will pay, on average, 15 per cent less; those above, three per cent less.Another welcome change is that Quebec is simplifying its method of calculating how much tax you will pay.There will be three basic incomes levels.If your taxable income is below $25,000, you’ll be taxed at a rate of 20 percent; between $25,000- $50,000, the rate is 23 per cent; above that, 26 per cent.SALES TAX The P$T is going up next January 1st, from 6.5 to 7.5 per cent.Surprised?One-time Finance Minister Jean Campeau warned us it would if we voted No in the referendum.But then Premier Bouchard said that would be a bad idea.Anyway, it’s going up, though as noted above, low income earners will end up with higher tax credits to offset the increase.Economists suggest that by giving us nine more months to beat the weeks to promote new ideas on sovereignty.Convince others Called “operation convince,” the campaign will target young Quebecers, mostly in schools and universities, said Frédéric Dubé, the wing’s executive president.The delegates had hoped to get a specific date for the next referendum from the government.But Vice-Premier Bernard Landry did not comply with that wish Saturday.“It will be held around the year 2000, a litte before, or a little after, but we don’t very much like setting the date in cement,” he said.increase, we’ll have to start spending more, creating an economic boomlet.However, they also worry that if this occurs, there might be a corresponding drop in spending in 1998, unless somehow there is a marked improvement in employment levels.Then there’s the valid argument that sales taxes are regressive taxes because rich and poor pay the same but it’s the-poor who feel it the most.As a result, the so-called essential basket of goods and services will cost someone with a low income more money next year.And oh yes, don’t expect stores to offer promotions such as “We Pay the Tax” or “pas de TVQ” anymore.The Finance Department says these promotions are misleading and they will be outlawed.OTHER INCREASES Car registration fees are going up by $28; cigarette taxes by 28 cents per carton, and luxury car owners will pay an extra one per cent of the car’s value over $40,000 .Then there are the municipalities.Bernard Landry has shoveled at least $625 million in new costs onto their shoulders, which could easily be turned into property tax increases and then rent increases.(At this point, a small reminder that cuts in education spending may also mean increases in school board taxes in many areas.Hey, who took my income tax savings!?) This is an issue you’ll be hearing about for months to come because obviously the municipalities don’t like being treated asthe dumpsite for Quebec’s and Ottawa’s past financial mistakes.But Landry has his eyes on municipal employees and woulddearly love to subject them to the same rollback that provincial public servants have been forced to accept.Details remain scarce, both about the new “responsibilities” foisted upon municipalities and about the means to achieve savings.Already Municipal Affairs Minister RémyTrudel is refusing to rule out legislative changes in order to achieve the savings.What’s missing $ome predicted the budget would contain fee increases for such things as semi-private or private hospital rooms, and de-insurance of a few medical services considered “not med- ically necessary”.They were wrong.But that doesn’t mean they aren’t coming.The Health Ministry is still itching to raise new money, and asnegotiations with doctors continue (they too must ante up 6 percent savings like other civil servants), these measures will most certainly be implemented sooner or later.TIPPING TIPS If you receive tips as part of your job, Quebec figures it deserves a share, and by next January, it will institute a new system with your employer to ensure tips are accounted for.Quebec expects to pocket $65 million in tips over the next two years.But in return, workers will be eligible for the first time for employment insurance and Quebec Pension Plan benefits.JOBS No self-respecting Finance Minister in this economy would ignore job creation.Landry is trying, through an assortment of stimulative measures and tax breaks but only $509 million of direct cash, to induce new investment and new job creation.Business reaction has not been overwhelmingly positive, but then again, everyone recognizes Quebec’s limited means to singlehand-edlyjumpstart the economy.Landry’s official target is to create 25,000 new jobs, but he said later more have already been created in just three months of 1997.Still, that’s a desperately disconcerting target.Last year, he predicted the creation of 45,000 and in the end, tallied up only 9,000.“We’re using all the leverage possible (to stimulate job creation) without destroying the equilibrium,” he said.“But I think it’s par for the course for a government that’s not rolling in gold.” Indeed.But for those who still view the Bouchard governmentas a social democratic government, this budget must be more thandisappointing.It offers measures to make the income tax system fairer, then offsets them with a regressive sales tax increase.It putsbig money into social housing, then negates the benefits bysaying the low-income earners will pay higher rents next year.Itmakes a solid case for reducing the deficit to zero by the year2000, but then can’t commit itself to even the principle of ze-ropoverty.The words are there, the action is not.Compton County Agricultural Society - Grandstand Project - Donation Form Name:__________________________________________________________________Donation Amt: __$25 _____$50 ____$100 Address:___________________________________________________Postal Code_________________$200 ____$500 ____$ Other Please send your donations to: CCAS Grandstand Project, P.O.Box 368, Cookshlre, Qc JOB 1 MO For further details you can contact Mr.Mac Fraser (819) 875-3842 This advertisement has been paid tor by some friends ol Cookshire Fair and RECORD special collaboration Want partnership with Canada PQ^ youth wing rejects total sovereignty concept QCNA Press Glenn Wanamaker .¦— IHE»i ¦¦ ¦ i _ Record - _ RECORD ALBUM Tuesday, Aprii, 1, 1997 page 5 ¦ H H is it ready?Working in a shroud of steam, Armand Lyonnais “aprons" the syrup.Maple Madness Good 1 riclay, besides being a religious holiday, turned out to be a “good” day (or local sugar makers as winter finally loosened its grip and allowed sap to flow in the maples.In sugar camps throughout the area, the tasks of gathering and boiling the sap until it reached the "syrup stage” began in earnest.Others spent time converting this syrup into such delicacies as maple butter and candy.Spring must surely be here!

40’s, the prodigiously talented Orson Wells became concerned about the gullibility of his listeners and their readiness, nay eagerness to believe everything they heard on the airwaves.Determined to bring them to their senses, Wells concocted an epic hoax in the form of a Big Lie to drive home a greater truth.When listeners across the U.S.heard that extra terrestrial beings from the planet Mars had landed, the reaction ranged from numbed shock to panic to threatened suicides.By the time Wells confessed to the elaborate plot, the news had reverberated around the world, its message ingrained in all from the illiterate to academia.Long after the reason for perpetrating the hoax was forgotten, listeners retained a healthy skepticism about what they heard on air.Where is Wells when we need him to once again jolt listeners into turning a critical ear to the mushrooming hotline radio shows?The more outrageous the talk, the wider the audience as Rush Limbaugh has proven below the border.Spewing forth anti-government sound and fury in the name of rugg'e4 individualism, Limbaugh has gone so far as to accuse Bill Clinton of everything from mayhem to murder, all seemingly with impunity.According to the polls, listeners lap it all up and beg for more, giving birth to a crop of Limbaugh clones.Tapping into the same mentality, Quebec City’s radio host André Arthur was brought temporarily to heel by no less than Lucien Bouchard himself, who sued him for broadcasting false rumors of a Bouchard marriage rift.In the end Bouchard settled out of court with his wife by his side, rewarded by an undisclosed sum of money.Not all victims of lies or character assassination have either the energy or money to challenge the hot-line hosts who continue on a daily basis to appeal to mankind’s lowest common denominator.Inflaming emotions and nurturing paranoia at the expense of sober, intelligent debate is the name of the game.Advertisers clamor for a spot on the popular programs and the cycle becomes self-perpetuating.Determined not to ignore such a lucrative market, Montreal’s CJAD hot-line show pollutes the airwaves on a regular basis with antigovernment tirades, imbuing the worst of motives to even salutary acts.Directed primarily at Quebec sover-eignists, the English community is forever presented as victims, reinforcing a helpless and hopeless view of inevitability concerning their lot.All in the name of freedom of speech, such a negative self image can become a self fulfilling prophecy.Accused of contributing to social dissension, one CJAD host, Thomas Shumacher claimed the show serves as a pressure release valve, totally ignoring it’s role in creating and intensifying that very pressure.Callers outdo each other in raising the decibel level of angst, thus blurring the edges between real and imagined injustices and vulgarizing the tenor of what could be a legitimate federalist-sovereignist debate.Bereft of the Wells flair for injecting a dose of reality, the hot-line shows evoke more of the Woody Allen philosophy ‘Just because I’m paranoid, doesn’t mean there’s no one out there trying to get me.’ Viewpoint Ivy Weir Knowlton office 88

Editor, Recent hospital downsizing in Ontario and Quebec seems to indicate that health care is less about care and health, but more about politics and political agendas.To wit: While whistling by a graveyard, I felt a strange rumbling.The source being deceased doctors and other health care personnel, spinning in their graves.During a recent stint in one of Quebec’s excellent health care emporiums, I discussed the phenomenon of anguished subterranean body motion by deceased health care personnel, with upright, practicing personnel of the same persuasion.They alleged that the dearly departed spin in frustration over the demise of that to which they devoted a lifetime of constructive toil, currently being undone by political mismanagement.In spite of political tinkering with our hospitals, let me say (based on first hand experience) that health care is alive and well: thanks to the doctors, nurses, technical staff and volunteers, who work long hours under (sometimes) less than ideal politically created conditions.For the most part, they ignore the counterproductive ravings of the politicians while healing in both official languages.It always astounds me that we can pay a hockey player several millions and deny healers a wage commensurate with their value to society.Maybe, we should tax the hell out of sports in favor of health care: and throw in an extra tobacco tax for good measure! If hospital downsizing continues, our best and brightest doctors and other caregivers will flee to greener and serene pastures.We will be left with those who placed 121st in a class of 125.Something for our duly elect-eds’ to ponder, n’est pas?P.S.recently, Ontario announced the closure of a small dominantly francophone hospital: Montfort.All hell broke loose among franco- Ontarians.Although Montfort is a provincial matter, Bouchard and Chrétien, eager to demonstrate their ability to cross political lines, blew their horns and cried foul.A rally later took place that saw 10,000 franco- Ontarians descend on Montfort to raise a bit of hell.I do not know why Ontario decided upon the closure on Montfort, but good for the people who were mad enough to rally to the aid of what they perceived to be a politically motivated closure.I only heard a ripple when several anglophone hospitals in Quebec City and Montreal were guillotined and 1 did not hear Chrétien objecting: only Bouchard sniffing.If Quebec looks sideways at the Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins, I hope the region raises hell and beyond, and when you cast your next ballot, ask yourself if P.M.Chrétien who turned a blind eye to Quebec hospital closures is worthy of your vote!

RecordI BOOKS Characters drawn together by common goal Evening Class is mosaic of diverse individuals Author Maeve Binchy has produced yet another warm and touching novel to add to her long list of successes.Evening Class follows such bestsellers as The Copper Beech and Circle of Friends, and easily lives up to expectations based on Binchy’s previous works.Such rich storytelling is rarely found, and sorely missed, among today's high suspense Thrillers and oversexed Romances.The blood of an Irish bard runs strong in Binchy, whose compassionate writing captures the humanity of her amazing characters, and in turn shows us our own.Individuals Evening Class, set in modern day Dublin, is a story about human nature, love and friendship.It zeroes in on a group of individuals drawn together in a small evening class where Italian is taught .As the members of the class slowly develop their language skills they learn something about themselves in the process.The class, organized by a middle-aged school teacher and taught by a strange expatriate, is an escape from everyday life and holds the promise of something better for all of the students.special bond There was an extraordinary bond amongst the people in the class.It was as if they were on a desert island and their only hope of rescue was to learn the language, and remember everything they were taught.In Evening Class, Binchy uses the same technique of story development as in her charming novel.The Copper Beech.Rather than following a plot chapter by chapter, Binchy weaves a complex, but ultimately satisfying tale, character by character.Binchy creates a portrait of each individual with her pen, as skillfully as DaVinci might with a brush, and the reader is drawn into the hopes and dreams of each character she introduces.class of dreamers The two central figures in the book are demonstrative of Binchy’s talents for character development.We come to care about the lonely school teacher, Aidan Dunne, who is obsessed by a dream of escaping his humdrum life and his unhappy marriage.We are also drawn into the loneliness and isolation of Signora who, as a young girl, left Ireland to follow her lover to Italy.Signora eventually returns to Ireland with few prospects for the future, having spent the major part of her life as the mistress of a married man and a kind of outcast in a small Italian village.Signora’s quiet strength forms the centre for the classroom full of dreamers, all isolated in some way from the life going on around them.All of the characters in the novel eventually come together in the manner of a crazy quilt, their individual backgrounds and personalities blending and complementing each other in a beautiful pattern only a master storyteller could weave.Evening Class is a joy to read and only strengthens the reader’s admiration for this author’s talent.Binchy’s humor and insight create a novel impossible to set down.Her work is in the category of hot fudge sundaes, leaving you completely satisfied but at the same time longing for more.Evening Class, by Maeve Binchy is published by Little, Brown -
