DUNKIN' DONUTS.DOWNTOWN 70 Wellington St.North SHÉRBROOKE 569-1445 THE The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 A friend must not be injured, even in jest.—Syrus 75 CENTS Friday, July 23, 1999 CUSE nurses call truce By Joy Yokoyama Nurses at the Centre Universitaire de Santé de l’Estrie are working again today after voting Thursday to continue their truce with the government until union delegates return from a meeting in Laval.Thursday’s vote was held at a closed-door meeting at the Bowen site in the afternoon.Another such assembly was to be held in the evening at the Fleurimont site.“There were different means of pressure that we discussed, some more drastic than others.The government would understand what we’re saying,” said Luc Cayer, president of CUSE’s nurses’ union, after the assembly.Union leaders meet in Laval today to discuss their next strategies in light of the nurses’ rejection of the proposed agreement the provincial government tabled over the weekend.Seventy-five per cent of the nurses who voted in Quebec said No to the deal.But at CUSE, where the deal passed at 52 per cent, nurses were working Thursday.Out of CUSE’s 1,450 nurses, 930 showed up to vote, a participation rate of 64 per cent.Nurses are still officially on strike and those who work at hospitals where the deal was rejected were back on the picket lines Thursday, with the exception of nurses who decided to return to work anyway.“I’m very happy (with Wednesday’s results),” said nurse Krisztina Szekely before Thursday’s meeting.“The government wasn’t offering a lot.There’s a lot in it (the proposal) but it’s difficult to obtain.” That sentiment is not uncommon of the agreement which offers gains in many salary and non-salary areas, but most gains have conditions attached.“There are a lot of single mothers working here and the strike hit them hard (financially),” nurse Claire Wegener said of CUSE’s acceptance of the deal.“1 think that’s why people want to come back in.” Until Cayer comes back from Laval and CUSE nurses hold another meeting, the nurses will be indoors.“We will probably do an evaluation of the (province-wide) vote and from that evaluation, we’ll consider means of pressure,” said Cayer of the Laval meeting.Although most nurses were unwilling to comment after the CUSE meeting and Cayer refused to expand on what types of pressure had been raised, nurses at Tuesday’s open meeting had suggested tactics ranging from only performing bare minimum duties to cutting off essential services.In the parking lot after Tuesday’s meeting, one nurse suggested that nurses in different departments should take turns calling in sick each day.At provincial meetings, a number of means of pressure have been suggested from mass resignations to milder tactics.“We have to be careful when it comes to means of pressure.We should not apply means of pressure against other professionals.I am not on strike against doctors,” warned Cayer.At the Centre Hospitalier de Granby, nurses voted 83 per cent against the agreement on Wednesday.The president of the nurses’ union was not available for comment.At the Brome-Missisquoi Perkins Hospital in Cowansville, nurses voted 53 per cent against the deal.There was no answer at the BMP nurses’ union office on Thursday.Milk Man i I Ü***Af**t (REAL THEBERŒ , BRUCE PATTON/CORRESPONDENT

Don’t grieve too much for John Jr.Well 1 hate to be a wet blanket but I have to say that all the attention being paid to the death of John Kennedy is making me a bit ill.Don’t grieve too much for this guy.By all accounts, J.K.Jr.contributed little to his family and less to society.He was also a high-stepping philanderer, a high-stakes gambler, and a classic remittance man, who counted on his family’s fame and fortune to get him anything he wanted.The younger Kennedy apparently inherited his father’s pathological inability to keep his pants done up, and his grandfather’s money gave him a bit of the old aphrodisiac smell.As a bachelor he was such a ladies’ man that it’s amazing he could get anyone to marry him.As a husband he wasn’t much better.Sometimes inhabiting the fringes of the jet-set, not-quite-business community, he proved to be interested mainly in making an appearance by investing more of Granddad’s cash.Kennedy started a glossy magazine called ‘George’, which became a vehicle for everything that was him - cute, sexy, superficial and, above all, expensive.John Junior was also an enthusiastic gambling man, betting Granddad’s money any way he could.The day he was killed, a teary-eyed ring announcer interrupted the Friday night fights on TV to say, weeping (I think I’m going to be sick again) that Kennedy had been a longtime friend of boxing and boxers, and could often be seen at ringside in Las Vegas.The announcer knew, but didn’t say, that John Kennedy Jr.gambled hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Granddad’s bucks on prize-fights, card games, dice, you name it.The announcer also knew, but didn’t say, that the beautiful woman on Kennedy’s arm was usually someone other than his wife.Okay, I know, he’s dead so I should leave him alone.I just wanted to say that he wasn’t much to get worked up about and definitely not worth the current fuss.One thing John-John shares with his father is the uncanny pull his death will exercise on conspiracy freaks around the world.The way he died will be controversial for years.They’re still trying to figure out how and why J.F.K.died.Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone (as if)?How many shots did he fire?How fast?Were there shots from the grassy knoll?How many?If not, why did the closest cop look, then rush that way?Was it the Cubans?The CIA?The Mafia?The Cubans working for the CIA?The Mafia working for the CIA?The CIA working for the Cubans?What about the Soviets, the Chinese, the Vatican?Then there was the baseball star.The same kind of speculation will haunt the death of Junior.Was he poisoned?Was he drugged?Did someone rig the plane to crash?Who did it - the Cubans?The Mafia?The CIA?A jealous lover?People Magazine?Of course being part of the most famous dysfunctional family in the world - even more so than the Windsors - Charles Bury won’t help.A large part of the controversy over the death of president Kennedy stemmed from the fact that a proper autopsy was never held.J.F.K.’s body was snatched away from the coroner and hidden by the U.S.Navy.No serious, scientific post-mortem took place.No one even counted all the holes made by the magic bullet.Ditto for Junior.His body was plucked from the sea on Wednesday morning, and put back in on Thursday.There was no autopsy, at least according to the news reports.For all we know he could have been shot.Sunshine Hydrant Girl :: .Connie

Friday, July 23, 1999 page 3 Stanstead Fire Dept, burning with anger By Rita Legault Lennoxville Stanstead council is playing with fire and public safety in an ongoing feud with members of the volunteer fire department, say dissident firefighters.Members of the former Stanstead volunteer fire department have been discontented since they were forced to merge with the Beebe department following the merger that joined Stanstead, Beebe and Rock Island.The volunteer fire brigade also covers Ogden, Barnston West and parts of Stanstead East.Over the past few weeks a handful of seasoned firefighters have resigned including former Stanstead fire chief Claude Distefano; Gordon Béliveau, the vice-president of the Association des Pompiers de Stanstead; and Tom Middle-ton, a 32-year-veteran of the department.And the men say morale among remaining firefighters is at an all-time low.“So far we have lost some very competent men,” said Béliveau.“It’s not just the four men that quit.Lately the morale of men has been very low.They don’t go to practices anymore.” In fact, Béliveau said more frustrated firefighters showed up at an informal meeting at his house Wednesday night, than do at regular practices now considered a waste of time.Béliveau said the last practice consisted of painting a flagpole.“That’s when a 32-year veteran (Middleton) said: ‘That’s it.This is enough.’ and quit,” Béliveau said.“That’s not what we did under the former chief.” Béliveau said firefighters used to take pride in practices.He said that at firefighters’ “Jaws of Life” trials two years ago in Lennoxville, the Stanstead force came in second, beating out many full time professional firefighters.At another recent training session, all six firetrucks were taken to the federal wharf on in Ogden.“If something had happened in Stanstead, who in the hell do you think would have answered the call?” asks former Stanstead firechief Distefano.Before he resigned after 19 years on the volunteer force and six years as firechief, Distefano said he took a wait-and-see attitude.But after a promised reorganization failed to take place, he said he couldn’t stick around any longer.Distefano said the new chief failed to check on the equipment and emergency plans for industrial fires in the territory of the former Stanstead department, and did not check on the whereabouts of water sources are in rural areas.“The new chief doesn’t know where they are,” he charged.“If he depends on the men to do it, I think he is making a mistake.” Distefano said there is no clear line of authority, a fact that makes it difficult for firefighters to perform their work effectively.That, he said, endangers not only the safety of residents and their properties, but also that of firefighters.“The chain of command is not there,” he said.“It’s not safe to be a firefighter at this time.” Béliveau, who quit the department at a recent public meeting of the town council, said someone has to speak up.“If nothing is said, nothing will be done,” Béliveau insists, adding most of the problems are being caused by council, not firefighters.“This has nothing to do with the men.“ Béliveau said the firefighters were never consulted on the merger or on changes within the department.They were simply informed by council of decisions taken above their heads with no input from the men involved.Béliveau adds that problems and council’s refusal to deal with issues is endangering the safety of residents.Among other things put on hold by council are an emergency measures plan and a coordinating committee to deal with a sudden emergency.“Since the ice storm the government has stressed that every municipality Apology: Birth father not incarcerated A serious copy editing mis- error and wishes the fam-take slipped its way into ily all the best in their Wednesday’s story about happy reunion, another Peacock Baby reunion.It was reported should have an emergency plan and a committee, but nothing has been done since then,” Béliveau points out.He said many of those who’ve resigned from the volunteer fire brigade had jobs in town which they could leave at a moment’s notice to go fight a fire.Many of the others work out of town and are not available all the time.Béliveau said he wonders if there are enough men with enough experience to deal with a serious fire.“I would hate to see what would happen, cause they might prove not to be very effective,” he added.Firefighters say the former council commissioned a $12,000 study but the new council is refusing to implement any of the recommendations.Among other things, the study said there wasn’t enough funding to keep up with equipment needs.A major recommendation of the report is to keep a central fire station in Stanstead and that satellite stations be opened near on Route 247 just outside the Beebe ward and Ways Mills.This, explains Distefano, would ensure a fire hall is within eight kilometers of all areas the fire department covers - a major requirement for insurance purposes.While the Stanstead firefighters approve of that recommendation, apparently those from Beebe are against it be- cause it would close their station.Also at issue is equipment purchased and owned by the Stanstead firefighters’s Association.Béliveau said that over the past 15 years or so, the association has raised between $40,000 and $50,000 to purchase badly needed equipment for the Stanstead department which the town couldn’t have afforded.“When we raise money we have a tax number and companies get a tax break,” Béliveau explained.“The town would not have had the same impact, They cannot give that receipt.” Now the town is demanding the equipment be handed over to the new department.SEE FIREFIGHTERS, PAGE 5 ï # Ï o The Chi Wren e (aWT BurWaf'ioq of Canadq O o that the birth father of David Campbell was incarcerated.This is, in fact, not true.The Record sincerely regrets the 1 LOUIS SAVOIE, LL.L Barrister and Solicitor Mediator in Civil and Commercial Matters 52 Principale North Richmond (Québec) JOB 2H0 (819) 826-1991 Fax: (819) 826-6874 Email: lpsavoie@qc.aira.com DUKE, NOBLE, General Partnership % Chartered Accountants A.Jackson Noble, C.A.164-A Queen Street, Suite 1 Lennoxville, Quebec, JIM 1J9 (819) 346-0333 Taxation, Accounting, Financial Services, Individuals and Corporations Estate Planning and Settlement, Farm Transfers Serving the Eastern Townships community for over 35 years Offices in: Cowansville Knowlton 127 Principale St.339 Knowlton Rd.Suite 105 (450) 243-5021 (450) 263-4123 gratefully acknowledges the donation of *12,000 raised at this year’s The Ayer’s Cliff Music Fest We proudly salute Peter and Chrissy Mackey and their extraordinary team of volunteers who are exemplary of community spirit!

• File your tax declaration, even if you cannot pay the outstanding balance; you will not have to pay the penalty; • Make the payments where interest is not deductible first; • Make your payments, even though you cannot file your declaration in time; this will lessen your interest and penalties.Other aspects might be considered in planning.Do not hesitate to consult your tax specialist.Nathalie Côté, CA Taxation Department Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton General Partnership Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton s THE STRENGTH OF ADVICE Member firm of Grant Thornton International July 17 • A bike was reported stolen from Main Street in Mansonville.• One man was transported to hospital after being involved in a singlecar accident on Highway 108 in Bury, just before 5 a.m.According to the QPF, alcohol could be a factor of the crash.July 16 • A suspected drunk driver was intercepted on Highway 243 in Potton Township.• An accidental fire was reported at 92 Junction Street in Beebe.It took firefighters approximately 20 minutes to tame the flames that had broken out around 2:32 a.m.Upon the fire department’s arrival, all occupants of the apartment building had escaped.One of the residents was transported to hospital for smoke inhalation.Police and firemen are suspecting that an unattended cigarette was the cause of the fire.And a final twist, according to the Memphrema-gog QPF, a small amount of marijuana in the growing process, was found in one of the three tenements.• A car was reported stolen from Chemin Magog in North Hatley.• A break-in was reported on Chemin Marie-Claire in East-Bolton.• A utility trailer was stolen from Chemin Lac Spring in East-Bolton.• A garage was broken into at Woodland Bay in Hatley.• The Coaticook QPF reported an accident taking place on Highway 141 in Ste-Herménégilde.No injuries were reported.• One person received minor injuries after a single-car accident on Highway 147 in Compton.According to the police, the driver was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol.He was the only passenger in the car.• Another single-car accident with the driver being under the influence of alcohol was reported on Highway 141 in Stanstead East.The driver received minor injuries.• The Vermont State Police report- ed Gregory Willis, 20 of Newport, failed to report to the Northeast Regional Correctional Centre for his sentence.Willis was convicted on Sept.21, 1998 for burglary and was sentenced to 2-5 years, suspended probation.His probation was revoked on June 17, 1999 and was to report to the correctional facility on June 24 in St.Johnsbury to serve his sentence.Willis failed to report, and the case has been submitted to the Orleans State’s Attorney for application for an arrest warrant.* • The Vermont State Police reported the fire of the Wright Enterprises auction facility on Route 5 in Derby.Tax interest and penalties: are they deductible?The Derby Line Fire Chief, Craig Ellam, requested an investigation into the origins and cause of the fire that initially started just after 10 p.m.The investigation revealed that the fire originated in the area of a workbench, just outside the office of the auction hall.The most likely cause of the fire was furniture-refinishing rags left in this area of the structure.Damage to the building was substantial.No dollar amount was available at this time.July 15 • The Vermont State Police reported that a Johnson boat engine was stolen from a boat docked on Little Averill Lake.July 14 • The Vermont State Police investigated a theft complaint of a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT pickup truck parked at the Irving gas station in Barton.The truck was later found smashed a few streets away.Through investigation, the State Police reported that the accused, a 22-year-old man, was suspected of smashing the vehicle himself and was cited into Orleans District Court to answer to charges of making a false report to law enforcement.July 13 • A 74-year-old Derby woman was apprehended after she removed items from the Ames Department Store in Derby without paying for them.The Vermont State Police issued her a citation for retail theft.Juegaciesfinance a large share of research.Without legacies, we would not be able to increase the funding of research that save lives.Ask the notary preparingyour will to explain the various ways of plannmgyour becfuest.HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF QUÉBEC At me heart tciutlml Tel.: (514) 871-1551 • 1-800-567-8563 i - ni ¦ THE ¦ n Record Friday, July 23, 1999 page 5 Top dogs at Bishop’s University this weekend COURTESY LENNOXVILLE INTERNATIONAL SHEEPDOG TRIALS mm ¦ t*!'

A bored Border Collie may initiate such devastating behaviour as chasing cars, digging out of any sort of containment and “herding” children.The Lennoxville International Sheepdog trial will be set by inter-national standards and will be judged by the renowned H.Glyn Jones of Wales, U.K.It will be a test of skills a useful working farm dog would need to perform its daily tasks.Even if you’ve never seen a sheepdog trial before, it’s amazing to see these dogs in action.Many farmers on this side of the Atlantic Ocean are quickly discovering the usefulness of a well-trained Border Collie.One dog may well be able to perform the work it would take two men to do.And, instead of asking for overtime pay or extra benefits when the cattle break out of their field and must be brought back to the barn, the farm dog asks only for a warm place to sleep and a few kind words.So, come out to Bishop’s University this weekend and show your support for the age-old relationship between man and dog.Bring the family to the sheepdog trials! ‘If anyone has an accident on the other side of town, we couldn’t go’ Firefighters: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Distefano said the equipment can’t be insured if the association doesn’t have an agreement with the town.“But they don’t want an agreement,” he said.“They want total control.” Béliveau said the equipment was purchased to help people in town.If someone’s basement is flooded, they take the pump over.If someone needs a generator, it is loaned out.He is also concerned about the “Jaws of Life” which can no longer be used on parts of the territory they once covered.Distefano points out other towns, including Stanstead East, Ogden, and Barnston West, helped purchase equipment including the “Jaws of Life” - the hydraulic shears that help firefighters free trapped accident victims from wreckages.He said transferring the equipment to the town would be unfair to residents who helped pay for the equipment, but wouldn’t have access to help if they needed it.Right now, the fire department is not allowed to cover acci-dents outside its territory in areas like Route 55.“If anyone has an accident on the other side of town, we couldn’t go,” Distefano said, adding that locals use the highway, as do buses carrying their children to and from school.Distefano said the firefighters used to roll with Ambulances Stanstead on all accidents calls -many of them on local highways including the 55.Now they only accompany ambulances by specific request.Béliveau said the firefighters had raised about $3,000 to acquire some new lifts which the department could have counted on in case of a major accident.But they were so discouraged, they gave the money back to the donors.Béliveau said that faced with a council that won’t work with them, the association is considering giving the equipment to another municipality in exchange for a promise of good service.The firefighters claim much of their current troubles are being caused by a councillor who was a former volunteer firefighter until he was fired from the department.The firefighters want him removed from the fire committee, but the mayor has refused.“The department is going backwards rather than forwards right now,” Béliveau complained.Distefano said about the only thing that would save the town in the event of a serious fire is a mutual aid agreement with the Derby Line fire department which is well equipped and well organized.Mayor Monique Pépin, who has been under fire for her handling of the deteriorating situation, did not return the Record’s call seeking comment on the situation.ami - : , I U-* - *• i ÜlÉlÉlllllil "A place to call home!"

Phillip Alder Many bridge pros take the money and run, putting nothing back into the game.One exception to this rule was Bobby Goldman, who died on May 16 at age 60.He will be inducted into the American Contract Bridge League Hall of Fame on July 21.Goldman won four world champi- onships — the Bermuda Bowl in 1970, *71 and ‘79, and the Mixed Teams in ‘72 — and 19 national titles.This deal from the ‘79 Bowl was an interesting battle between Goldman and Italian Arturo Franco.East, Franco, had to open one diamond because one club would have shown 17-plus points.West, Dano DeFalco, decided to lead his partner’s suit, Goldman taking Franco’s nine with his queen.South led the spade eight to dummy’s 10 and East’s king.Franco exited safely with a spade, declarer overtaking his queen with dummy’s ace.Goldman ran dummy’s club jack, then played a club to his queen, getting the bad news.Needing a dummy entry for a third club finesse, Goldman led the heart jack from his hand.However, realizing what was happening, Franco ducked his king.Still, it only postponed the inevitable.Goldman continued with the ace and another club, endplaying East.If Franco returned to diamonds, dummy’s king would score.If he led a heart, it would concede two more tricks in the suit.So he exited with a spade.But that resurrected dummy’s jack and gave Goldman nine tricks via two spades, two hearts, one diamond and four clubs.This is an excellent example of thrust and parry, with both East and South knowing the lie of the cards from the bidding.North 07-24 99 A K Q 7 4 ¥ A J 10 ?J 10 9 7 5 2 A —

lead: a K Saturday, July 24,1999 Not so successful for once By Phillip Alder All top bridge players lose many more events than they win.And while researching for yesterday’s Bobby Goldman obituary column, I saw this excellently defended deal.It was the 64th and last from the 1970 Vanderbilt final.At half time, the Aces (Eisenberg-Goldman, Hamman-Lawrence, Jacoby-Wolff) were 64 international match points down against Kaplan-Kay, Kehela-Murray and Lazard-Rapee.But with this deal remaining, the scores were tied! In the other room, Kay (North) jumped to four spades on the second round, but Lawrence (West) opted to continue with five clubs.Kaplan (South) doubled and was disappointed to collect only plus 100.When Goldman (South) was allowed to buy it in three spades, the Aces would snatch a one-point victory if he made the contract.Lazard (West) led the club king, ruffed in the dummy.Declarer continued with the spade king, Lazard winning with the ace and forcing dummy to ruff another club.Goldman cashed dummy’s spade queen, then started to unblock his diamond honors.However, West ruffed the second diamond and .did what?It looked tempting to cash the club queen, but that would have let the contract make.A heart switch would be won by East, but he couldn’t stop declarer from taking the rest of the tricks.Instead, Lazard switched immediately to a heart.After winning with his queen, Rapee (East) returned a club to his partner’s queen.Then another heart through the dummy left declarer having to finesse, as the diamonds were still blocked.So the contract went one down, and the Kaplan team won a nail-biting match by four IMPs.Le Salon du BINGO Le Baron liking lot BINGO EVERY NIGHT 7 P.M.-10 P.M.DAYS: Wednesday-Friday-Saturday 1 p.m.- 4 p.m.Le Salon du Bingo Le Baron 3200 KING ST.WEST, SHERBROOKE /"b\ raf3L\ ( n ) 4 25 36 58 61 819-565-7727
