Mi the ¦¦¦ The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 65 CENTS WWW.SHERBROOKERECORD.COM Thursday, September 13, 2001 A day of prayer and mourning Local population offers help and sympathy Daniel Huot Lennoxville Tuesday is being labeled as the day the world changed.Experts still agree it’s too early to measure the impact of the suicide airplane attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, but in the Townships people were doing their best to comfort friends and loved ones.In Lennoxville, St-George’s Church kept its doors open all day in case individuals wanted to pray for the rescue workers and victims’ families in the U.S.Only six people had shown up by noon, but the open doors were testimony of the community’s concerns.Rev.Keith Dickerson said the open doors offered consolation to drivers who turned their heads towards the church.“Just to see our doors open might offer some comfort,” he said.Dickerson said he’s shocked, but not surprised by the tragedy that has left countless thousands of victims dead, adding it was the sad face of human nature.“Anyone aware of current events globally has to read between the lines,” he said.“There’s a new evil rising in every part of society.” He said reaction in the community has touched him.Dickerson added many people will have to rely on their friends and families to come to Please see Prayer Page 4 PERRY

Stritch’s Introduction to U.S.Politics course Wednesday morning.“When something like this happens the regular schedule gets thrown out,” Stritch said in an interview with the Record Wednesday.The British-born Stritch is Bishop’s University’s resident expert on the U.S.political scene.Like everyone else, he was struck by the magnitude of the devastation which is changing the way we see the world.“It’s just a monumental tragedy,” he said.“I think it will alter the shape of U.S.policy for years to come.” Politically, Stritch says a large military response is the likely course of action.But that course of action will likely happen later rather than sooner.“There is a danger of rushing to judgment,” he said.“Let’s remember that with the Oklahoma City bombing it was thought to have been Osama bin Laden initially.” Earlier this year American Timothy McVeigh was executed by lethal injection for what had been until Tuesday the largest single terrorist act on U.S.soil.Please

Jacques-Cartier Blvd.South, Sherbrooke (access on Marchant Street) GALERIE LAMPRON mattress: *399 *"565-5573 \ page 2 Thursday, September 13, 2001 The seat of power I was in a company office last week where all of the employees share the same bathroom, like they do on “Ally McBeal” and “Hogan’s Heroes.” There was a big sign on the wall that said, “Guys, this is not the hockey locker room.Please show a little sensitivity.” Well, this message really piqued my curiosity.Obviously, there had been a problem, but what exactly were they talking about?And, more importantly, who are they talking to?My guess is they’re talking to the single guys.Any married man has already been through the bathroom learning curve and knows that none of this area is his territory any longer.Not the sinks, not the shower, not the countertop - and especially not the mirror.Any single man entering a communal restroom is coming face to face with the fundamental reality of cohabitational relationships: You can have the girl or the bathroom.Not both.Borderline friends We all have some friends that we don’t like very much.Yes, we like them - just not very much.And sometimes we decide to cut them loose for that reason and spend time only with the friends we like a lot.This is a huge mistake.My experience has been that no matter how many or how few friends you have, you will always have some that you don’t like very much.Trying to up the average by thinning the herd is a slippery slope.As you decrease your number of somewhat unsatisfactory friends, you automatically increase the standards for the keepers.Eventually, you get down to two friends, and one of them will inadvertently say or do the wrong thing - and then you’re down to one.Once you drop that last one, you’re really in trouble.By this time, you’ve axed so many relatively nice people that you aren’t even good enough to pass your own test.Now you start disliking yourself, and that way lies madness.Don’t let it ever get that far.The next time you’re with friends you don’t like very much, greet them warmly, thank them sincerely, and keep them forever.In 10 years, you’ll feel good about yourself.It may even start now.Wardrobe changes No matter how much you like certain articles of clothing, there comes a time when you have to get rid of them.Here are a few signs that you’ve been wearing the same clothes way too long: • A homeless person offers you a shirt.• You look at your old high school pictures, and you’re wearing the same pants.• Your sports jacket is in style for the third time since you bought it.• Your dad’s clothes are newer than yours.• One of your sweaters blew off the clothesline and a neighbor used it to wash his car.• Teen-agers think you look cool.Live and in person Parents of toddler present brief on no-fault insurance North of Forty Red Green My wife and I were sitting, watching television the other night.We weren’t really talking much.Just kind of veg-ging out, staring at the tube with that glazed look on our faces that comes over most couples who’ve been married for a while.Suddenly, a news announcer interrupted the show, saying “We take you live .” We both sat up and immediately gave the tube our frill attention.Now, the story turned out to be about a fire in town caused by an elderly gentleman who had not yet grasped the relationship between cigarette smoking and gasoline.But the thing that struck me was that we were snapped out of a semi-comatose state by some guy saying “We take you live .” It was exciting.And to think we could have had the same effect on each other the whole evening just by striking up a conversation.I was going to mention that idea to my wife, but I wanted to watch the end of the program.QUOTE OF THE DAY: “It’s easy to fall asleep when everything gets tired at the same time.I always have a few stragglers.” — Red Green Magog has a tiger in its town Staff The parents of a toddler who died after being run over by a Hydro-Québec truck in 1997, were among those to present a brief to the Commissions of Transport and Environment Quebec in Quebec City Tuesday.On June 26,1997, Lyne and Bill Fishers’ son Clifford, two weeks shy of his second birthday, was killed when an employee of the utility backed his truck over the child who was in the family’s yard in Ayer’s Cliff.Instead of getting out of his truck to read a meter, the employee drove the truck up the driveway as close to it as possible.Because of Quebec’s no-fault insurance law, all accidents involving a vehicle are exempt from negligence lawsuits.Among the recommendations the Fishers made to the commission was giving people the option of suing for gross or criminal negligence.They cited the Ontario and Saskatchewan systems where this exists.They also proposed that in any situation involving death or severe bodily injuries, the law should allow the immediate family of the victims to be compensated for loss of wages, fees and psychological help.Also included was a request that victims of vehicle accidents be informed of every benefit they are entitled to.Finally, the Fishers are calling for the government to adopt a measure that already exists in Ontario, that the driver’s license of repeat offenders be revoked.On Saturday Sept.15, Giant Tiger Stores Limited will celebrate the opening of its newest Giant Tiger store at 1730 Sherbrooke Street in Magog.This fun-filled day will feature plenty of free activities for kids of all ages including face painting, balloons, temporary tiger tattoos, in-store specials, entertainment, and a visit from the Giant Tiger himself.As part of the planned celebrations, Giant Tiger is hosting a charity barbecue in collaboration with Maple Lodge Farms for la maison de la famille Mem-phrémagog Inc.Guests can enjoy a hot dog and a drink for just a loonie.Net proceeds of funds raised will be donat- ed to two local charities, La maison de la famille Memphrémagog and la banque alimentaire Memphrémagog Inc.Store manager Paul Goudreau has extended an invitation to everyone to have a “Roaring Good Time” at the Grand Opening of the new store.Giant Tiger is an All-Canadian Family Discount Store that sells a.large assortment of clothing and footwear, including many of the latest fashion items at the lowest possible prices.Giant Tiger carries everyday needs like groceries, confectionery, health and

NICHOLAS SRILLEP GRAPE JUICE ALL OVER THE LIVING ROOM CARPET.^ (tfCHAA /vtchaa; PAGE 3 Thursday, September 13, 2001 RECORD .¦ Fire in South Stukely DAVID ANDERSON/PHOTO CORRESPONDENT Fire destroys Stukely home, Cookshire garage Afire in South Stukely Tuesday evening has left one man homeless, while a fire in Cookshire destroyed a garage and damaged several cars Wednesday.Firefighters were called to a house next to 234, Route 112 at about 4:45 p.m.Tuesday.Despite the efforts of the Waterloo, Brome Lake and South Stukely fire departments, nothing could be done to save the house.No one was injured in the blaze, which police estimate resulted in about $50,000 damage.Police are investigating to determine the cause of the fire.At about 11:30 a.m.Wednesday Cookshire firefighters were called to Garage Donald Sylvio, on Craig St.North.There a mechanic had been working on the gas tank of a car when it caught fire.“He tried to put it out but was unable to control the fire,” said Sûreté du Québec spokesman Const.Serge Dubord.The fire destroyed the garage, the car and all of the tools inside.It also damaged four other cars parked nearby.Damages are estimated at close to $200,000.Corrections Apple pickers got wrong number On page 2 of last Friday's Record we printed the wrong phone number for people who wanted work picking apples.The crop is a good one this year and a large number of people are needed to pick apples in the Townships over the next six weeks.To recruit pickers the Union des Producteurs Agricoles has set up an employment centre, which can be reached by dialing 1-866- 774-9154, extension 210.The Record regrets any confusion the incorrect phone number may have caused.Wrong name for artist’s wife In the Sept.6 edition of the Record, an article about

Banner bust year nets over $80 million By Maurice Crossfield The Sûreté du Québec continues to shatter past records and make life a little more difficult for the region’s marijuana growers.“We’re averaging about 1000 plants a day,” said SQ spokesman Const.Serge Dubord.As of Wednesday the SQ’s annual “Operation Cisailles” (Operation Scissors) had raked in 40,167 plants, worth, police say, over $80 million on the street.That’s well above the 33,000 plants police recovered in all of 2000.With three to four weeks to go before the annual marijuana harvest is over, Dubord is expecting more big numbers to come.In one raid Tuesday in Eaton Township police netted 810 pot plants, guarded by two tents and an alarm system.“When you touched a wire that sur- rounded the plantation, a light would go on in the tents,” Dubord explained.However the guard wasn’t on duty at the time.“But there were some good signs left behind, so we will probably be able to make an arrest,” he said.At almost the same time members of the Brome-Missisquoi detachment of the SQwere in Glen Sutton.Discovered first by helicopter, police took a trip to clearings in the woods off of Glen and Brown Roads.At the Glen Road raid they recovered 196 mature pot plants, while the Brown Road pot patch had 207 plants.“Brome-Missisquoi seems to have more than the other regions,” Dubord pointed out.The SQ’s success has been helped along by banner days like Sept.6 when several raids netted a total of 1537 plants.Sept.4 saw a haul of 945 plants.Dubord said the raids were the result of a combination of phone tips, investigations and helicopter surveillance.Autopsy to be performed on woman found dead in woods Coleraine An autopsy will be performed on the body of Aline Vachon-Allaire, who was found in the woods last week after a one-day search, according to Quebec provincial police.Vachon-Allaire, 53, went missing on Wednesday, Sept.5 in a wooded area near the town of Coleraine, several kilometres south of Thetford Mines.Her lifeless body was found the next day in the same wooded area by police searchers.“We found her about 1,000 metres from her sister’s house,” said Const.Richard Gagne.“We suspect she fell and hit her head on some rocks, but we’ll only be sure once the autopsy results come in.” Gagne said Vachon-Allaire was a resident of Thetford Mines and had been a patient for a brief period at a psychiatric hospital there.INSOMNIA?You wake up at night and have a hard time going back to sleep?There might be a solution!

meeting tonight to learn more about the town’s future policing options.Under the terms of Bill 19, all towns with fewer than 25,000 residents must decide if they will upgrade their existing municipal police forces or scrap them in favor of the provincial police service, the Sûreté du Québec.The municipalities have until Oct.1 to an- nounce their intentions to the Public Security ministry, with the new system in place by June, 2002.In Brome-Missisquoi, Cowansville, Brome Lake and Farnham are faced with making that choice.Brome Lake is awaiting the results of a mail-in survey before taking a decision.Meanwhile Farnham is expected to make an official decision to fold its force into the SQin the coming days.Earlier this summer Cowansville announced that it was unlikely it would keep its own police force.However the municipality launched a public consultation process that included focus groups in August and three public information meetings in Sept.Two of those meetings, one held Tuesday night and another to be held on Sept.17, are in French.The English language meeting will be held tonight (Sept.13).At the meeting Cowansville Police chief Roger Poirier will explain what is needed to bring the Cowansville force up to the new “Level 1” requirements.This will be followed by a presentation by the SQ outlining what services it would provide Cowansville and the surrounding region.Then the floor will be opened up for questions.Tonight’s meeting takes place at the Auberge Des Carrefours in Cowansville, and gets underway at 7 p.m.Flags at Bishop’s University flying at half mast Prayer: Cont’d from Page 1 terms with events.He said they are doing good things outside the church as well.Thelma Picken and Louise Hopkins sat behind a table and greeted visitors who crossed the church’s doors.They too were shocked by what happened.“We’re praying for the safety of people who are calling for help with their cell phones, for the rescue workers and for the safe rescue of people that are left behind so that they will be able to forgive,” said Hopkins.“I feel for the people who have faith and realize God is there to help them.You always need to prepare for eternity.Our lives are so short.” Picken added it’s unbelievable such a thing could happen.“It’s so terrifying to think this can happen so close to us.” At Bishop’s College School, life seemed to return to normal.Steve Zatyl-ny, the director of student activities, commended principal Nancy Layton for her work with the teenagers under tough circumstances.“Teachers are having a hard time,” said Zatylny.“It’s hard to clear your head after such images.” “We had a prayer in the chapel this morning.Everything’s fine.Students have now heard from their families and friends.” Zatylny said Layton put her telephone at the students’ disposal to allow them to communicate with their relatives.In the end, the Internet facilitated most of the communications.“We had asked students in the chapel if they knew people in New York or Washington to come to the office.E-mails were probably the easiest form of communication.” “What shook me are the missing firemen and police officers,” said Zatylny.“You lose one alone in a shooting and it’s already a huge catastrophe.” But he said the attacks left a greater scar on the U.S.students at BCS than others.“Being an American on Tuesday was a pretty sad day.” At Bishop’s University, Chaplain Heather Thomson held a prayer vigil at the chapel at lunchtime.More than a dozen people showed up to light candles.They sat or knelt in the pews and praised the Lord.“People were very sombre,” said Thomson.“How could they not be distressed by what happened?They showed their concern for loved ones.” PERRY BEATON/SPEQAL ‘Just to see our doors open might offer some comfort,' - Rev.Keith Dickerson, pastor of St.George's Church in Lennoxville “I’m disturbed by how much hatred there is in the world and in our own hearts that would allow people to be so destructive and disrespectful of human life.” Those who participated in the vigil prayed that the violence won’t escalate, she added, and that the people who are trapped or injured are rescued.“On Tuesday, people were horrified.They crowded next to my office in the TV lounge and watched it all day.Today , it wasn’t as crowded.The mood was somber on campus.” Bishop’s University Principal Janyne Hodder said the flags are flying at half mast.“We don’t know of any students whose families are directly involved,” she said.“My intuition is that the world in which I woke up on Tuesday has profoundly changed.” Bruce Stevenson, the director of stu- dent services at Bishop’s University, indicated counselors, telephones, fax machines and the chapel office have been put at the disposal of the 200 international students on campus.“At least half a dozen have asked to talk to a variety of people so far," he said.Student Representative Council President Dave Millard said Bishop’s had initially hoped to organize a campus blood drive but decided to direct donors to a blood donor clinic already being organized by Sherbrooke firefighters being held today at 300 du Parc, in Sherbrooke, between 10 a.m.and 8 p.m.“On Tuesday night and throughout the day, we’ve put up money donation boxes for the Red Cross in various locations on campus.” They include SRC offices, the student pub and the campus’ numerous stores.Millard said it’s too early to determine how many coins and bills were donated.Security issues It was more difficult to obtain local responses from government agencies regarding border and defence matters on Wednesday once central authorities pooled their resources.RCMP officers pointed out they are increasing their patrols and are collaborating with U.S.security authorities across the country.When asked by how much in the Townships, they refused to provide figures, citing security reasons.One local officer said on Tuesday he thought there were five more vehicles in the Townships before he called his bosses to get an answer.Officials at Canadian Forces bases in Farnham and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu redirected media enquiries to Ottawa.“The prime minister and the Prime Minister’s Office are central to our operations in a way,” said Capt.Scott Landry.“The PM said yesterday Canada is in a heightened state of vigilance.” That means troops are more ready to respond than usual and are ready to stand by in case the Canadian government is asked by the U.S.for assistance.He said the most important thing the RECORD Yves Robert Advertising Consultant Tel.: 619-569-9525

September 13, 2001 Try to spend as much time with your young daughter as you can Dear Ann Landers: I am a recently divorced man with a 10-year-old daughter.As part of the custody agreement, I settled for a lot less visitation than I wanted because I felt it was best for my daughter if her mother and I got along.I try to overlook her mother’s “peculiarities,” and I never say a bad word about the woman.There is one thing, however, that annoys me to no end.Whenever I take my daughter on vacation (once a year), I always tell my ex-wife where we are going and for how long.I give her the phone number at our location if 1 have it, and she also has the number for my cell phone, which is always with me.My daughter calls her mother regularly to check in.Somehow, none of this satisfies the woman.On our last vacation, we stayed at a lovely beach house that had no phone.My ex-wife insisted on having the name and phone number of the real estate agent who rented us the house.This time, my daughter and I are traveling around the country and will be at several different places, including the homes of friends.Not all of our arrangements have been made in advance, and I am not certain where we will be at any given moment.My ex-wife has gone totally bonkers over this trip.She wants the names, addresses and phone numbers of every hotel at which I am considering booking a room, along with the names, addresses and phone numbers of every friend I may visit, whether I actually see them or not.I think the woman has gone off the deep end, and I am sick and tired of trying to humor her.She can easily contact me through my cell phone, and I see no reason to subject every friend, relative and hotel around the country to her obsessive behavior.I would never think of asking her to account for every second of my daughter’s day when the girl is not with me.Is she a control freak, or am I out of line?I’ve had it.— Up to Here in Pennsylvania Dear Up to Here: You are NOT out of line.You are being more than fair.Is there a reason your ex-wife is so irrational?If not, you are under no obligation to cater to her crazy demands.Try to spend as much time with your young daughter as possible.She will need your steadying influence to counterbalance the erratic behavior of her nutty mother.An observant 10-year-old will be able to sense the situation, so rest assured, she will be on your side.Dear Ann Landers: I have been married to “Judd” for 22 years, and I think he may be cheating on me.Please tell me if I have enough evidence.A friend told me Judd had tickets to an upcoming concert and that he hoped I would enjoy it.I knew nothing about a concert.When the date arrived, Judd lied and said a co-worker had an extra ticket at the last minute and asked him if he could go.Another time, Judd offered to help a female friend move.He was gone more than 10 hours and didn’t call.I drove by the woman’s place and saw his truck out front.When he came home, he made up a story about how the van driver had the wrong address.I want to keep this marriage together, even though I suspect he has been cheating on me.Please tell me what to do, Ann.- Unsure and Afraid Dear Unsure: It appears that Judd has not been totally straight with you.Tell him you want to keep the marriage together, but from now on, he must be completely honest because you refuse to settle for less.And keep your word.Ann Landers Richmond District Girl Guides Enjoy Outings A dream came true for 21 Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders and their six leaders when they boarded a bus at St.Francis School, Friday, August 3, 2001 for a trip to Tadoussac to go Whale Watching.This trip was planned by Pauline Antink, District Commissioner, with her committee who had been working on it for two years.Many hours of planning and fundraising took place.Our first stop was to eat our lunch at La Chaudière Falls, then back on the bus to continue on to Tadoussac in time for supper.Accomadations were at the Community Center where we stored our gear, took a walk around town and had our supper.The girls enjoyed walking along the waterfront of the St.Lawrence River, getting their feet wet before re- turning to the Community Center to sleep.Some slept out under the stars.Saturday morning, with lunches packed, we headed off for the day.We visited the Marine Mammal Interprétation Center, Chavin Trading Post and an Indian Chapel before boarding the bus and heading off to catch our boats to go Whale Watching.This was a three hour boat ride.Everyone was most impressed by the Whales, especially when they breached in the water not 15 feet from them.We returned back to Tadoussac for supper, and more sightseeing around town.Needless to say, I’m sure we visited every boutique there.We returned to the Community Center for our second nights sleep.Sunday morning, with lunches packed, our accomedations nicely cleaned up, we boarded the bus once again.Before leaving Tadoussac we visited the Maritime Museum, and the fish Breeding Station.Lunch was eaten on our way home, and we stopped at McDonalds near Quebec City for-supper.We arrived back in Richmond around 8:30 p.m., tried but happy what an experience! For the Sparks and Brownies who did not wish to go to Tadoussac, an evening outing was planned for them.On August 14, 2001,18 girls with their leaders boarded a bus at St.Francis School.Their first stop was to have supper at McDonald’s in Sherbrooke.Then on to Les Galerie Quatres Saison where the Shriners Circus was performing, we were joined there by three girls who had been on the Tadoussac Trip.When the girls were asked what they enjoyed the most, it was difficult to decided, but 1 believe the boxing Kangaroo and the Elephants won out.No one fell asleep during the performance, but as soon as they were on the bus, there were a few sleepyheads.We arrived back in Richmond around 11:00 p.m.The girls with their leaders with to thank the community and all those who supported and sponsored them in this endeavor.Without your encouragement and support these events could not be realized.Dorothy Bedard Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders in front of Community Center, Tadoussac.Sparks and Brownies with one helper boarding bus for Sh?Circus. ‘ A N N X CHDPGOWDOLHW K W O Y RCOLHW GR.’ - T C H G N VWG ‘ Z W YPCVW N L H I L G K X G R A Y ; OPWHWCUOWH OPWM YPCVW LY.’ - Z G R Y O N R DPLHDPGKK PREVIOUS SOLUTION: ‘There was no one quite like her in American literature.' — Author Elizabeth Hardwick on Eudora Welty ® 2001 by NEA, Inc 13 Kit n’ Carlyle www.comics.com lwright@ic.net wT ka/oW ^aT AiviV way To ter OM/nMCL a OVgN.Herman 9-13 OJim Unger/dist.by United Media, 2001 ‘I had to give your sausages a squirt with the fire extinguisher.” CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrty Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present.Each letter in the cipher stands lot another.Today's clue: M equals Y Record Thursday, September 13, 2001 page 17 Alley Oop NOW/ HE'S GOING 'TO BED?* IT'S ONLY ?8 PM/ Tf Arlo & Janis I DIDN'T WANT TO WORRY THEM, BUT."YOU HAVE Y Dû MAUYOF ^ 0ULY24 \Y0U(?F0RTUO6 HOOKB fû ) C00KI6B \M!"J COUTAIIO D£ATHW£A1& ITHIWK IT'6 /YOCeABOUT rue finite üaturc OF OUR DAY6, took mow, DOO'T vwAÇ>TerneM.y COULD &e fwetUMY WIFE.WAÇ) UUD&FÇjTàU DABLY uP6er.The Born Loser rYOO KNOW (TSTINX FOfc K m£r OV£K WKEHYOU SNST TO REr SEYBLCYOUK C*TlV£fô UCEK5E photo!
