originally known as the Emmerling Hotel - shortly after arriving in the Red River Settlement in 1870.He expanded it to include a barber shop, billiard hall and store.Swan, whose great grandfather.See premier Page 4 PPLEGOVE SONNER LAKESIDE DINING SPECIALS Breakfast -

therefore uphill.Talk about upheaval - it’ll only happen when the subway schedules are governed by the tides.Then there’s the space-age option: pack everything up and move to Mars - or some other planet mankind hasn’t fouled yet.“Trouble is I can never get my spaceship to start when it’s raining.” Yeah.I get that too.I think it has something to do with water in the wiring harness.But that’s another story.I guess what I’m trying to say is that it really doesn’t matter.There’s no reason to think the human race will last that long.“Now you tell me.Oh, boy.What next?” You’ve heard of what happened to the dinosaurs.Seems like one morning they woke up only to discover they were all dead.Gone.Null and void.Kaput.Fini.Extinct.Nobody knows why.“Except you.Right, wiseguy?” Nope.I have no idea why the dinosaurs died.As for humanity though, I could write its death notice today: DEATHS: Human Race, age about 13,000.Fran- word ‘hostage’ by McLellan is “offensive” given its terrorist connotations.” McLellan also suggested that one of the consequences of a vote for separation could be the partition of Quebec to allow those who want to remain in Canada to divide the province.Brassard said McLellan’s comments confirm a hardline position, or the so-called Plan B to set out the rules for Quebec to leave Canadaand he suggested she should exercise better judgement , given her position as justice minister.— BEN ® by DANIEL SHELTON ===== tic, but sleeping anyway.At the peak of its creativity yet leaving behind a poisoned world.No funeral etc.Survived by the wily cockroach.Cause of death: skin cancer.“Skin Cancer?” Yup.Skin cancer.How quickly we forget.Remember when Robert Bourassa was diagnosed with melanoma?“Yeah.That was really too bad."

in February or March - to get the leadership question out of the way as quickly as possible.“If you assume you have to do it sometime in the mandate .do you want to get it done or do you want to wait until half way into the mandate when the pressure (to step down) may be greater?” said one insider.In particular, Chretien’s strategists would like the leadership review well before another national unity crisis erupts.Quebec Premier Lucien Bouchard is expected to call a provincial election in the fall of 1998 and, should he win, is promising another referendum on Quebec independence by 2000.The closer he gets to the Quebec elec- tion and the prospect of another referendum, the more Chretien is likely to come under pressure to step aside.Since federalists' near-loss in the 1995 referendum, some Liberals have been whispering about the need for a new leader who is more popular in Quebec to take on the separatists next time.The whisper campaign intensified in the final days of the June 2 election campaign, when Chretien came perilously close to losing his majority after starting the campaign with a seemingly unassailable lead.Few believe Chretien faces any real threat of losing a leadership review, whenever it is held.Party members are Chartered Accountants DUKE.NOBLE.R.General Partnership A.Jackson Noble, C.A.Managing Partner 164-A Queen Street, Suite 1 Lennoxville, Quebec, JIM 1J9 (819) 346-0333 / Fax: (819) 346-0313 Accounting, Auditing Financial 8 Taxation Services for Individuals, Small Business 8 Corporations Investment Planning, Estate Planning 8 Settlement, Computer Services Offices in Lennoxville, Cowansville and Knowlton.Quebec unlikely to dump the first Liberal leader since 1953 to win a second consecutive majority government.Moreover, the universal process recently adopted by the party for leadership reviews -

half-brother, said her relative’s memory was kept alive by family stories.Her father was the first to do research on Davis and she completed the task in 1991 with her master’s thesis Ethnicity and the Canadianization of Red River Politics.“Whenever my grandmother wanted to emphasize the importance of learning French she would tell my father about when Robert arrived in Red River,” said Swan, who has a history degree from Bishop’s University.“He went to Upper Fort Garry and asked to see (Louis) Riel.He spoke French to Riel and said ‘I’ve come to take up land.’ Riel said ‘As long as your intent is peaceful you’re welcome to stay here.”’ Most immigrants were afraid of Riel and his Métis resistance, but Swan said that’s because they did not understand what was going on.She said the story illustrates Davis’s ability to bridge the gap between the French and the immigrants.Those attributes naturally led Davis into politics.He won a byelection in April 1874 and was eventually named provincial treasurer.Later that year, Davis was MANITOBA ARCHIVESfTAKEN BY J.JONES ECHO VALE QUE.The Davis family homestead in Dudswell circa 1900.Robert Davis's sister Adelaide Bishop, nephew Robert

assur- Priority of Crown’s Claims for Unremitted Source Deductions and Unpaid GST Tax Talks Finance Minister Paul Martin announced last April proposed amendments to the Income Tax Act, the Canada Pension Plan, the Employment Insurance Act and the Excise Act to clarify that the Crown's claims for unremitted source deductions and unpaid GST take priority over all other claims.The proposed amendments follow the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Her Majesty the Queen v.The Royal Bank of Canada, which held that the current rules in the Income Tax Act creating a deemed trust do not give priority to the Crown over certain assignments of inventory and that clearer language is required to assign absolute priority to the Crown.The amendments will apply from June 15, 1994.Deemed trust provisions were intended to ensure that unremitted source deductions and unpaid GST were to be recovered in absolute priority to all debts.The Minister noted that it is important to assert the absolute priority of the Crown’s claims as unremitted source deductions are part of the gross wages of employees and are held in trust for remittance to the Receiver General.Further, source deductions are automatically credited to these employees on account of taxes paid for the year and they are paid over to those provinces that are parties to the Federal/Provincial Tax Collection Agreements, on account of the employees’ provincial taxes payable.Similarly, GST input tax credits are credited against unpaid GST even when the net GST remains unpaid.The proposed amendments will clarify that the deemed trusts for unremitted source deductions and GST apply whether or not other security interests have been granted in respect of the inventory or trade receivables of a business.Typically, this will ensure that, where a person grants a security interest in property such as inventory or trade receivables assigned as collateral under a general security agreement or a Bank Act security, the deemed trusts for unremitted source deductions or unpaid GST will nonetheless apply to the inventory or receivables of the business given as collateral.To satisfy the liability for unremitted source deductions and unpaid GST, inventory or receivables, in an amount equal to the unremitted deductions and unpaid GST, are considered to be beneficially owned by the Crown (regardless of any security interest that may have been granted) and their proceeds are payable to the Crown in priority to any security interest.The deemed trust provisions will not, however, override a prescribed security interest such as a mortgage interest in real estate or other exceptions, where the failure to remit source deductions or net GST cannot benefit the secured creditor.Claude Bérard, CGA Tax Department Raymond, Chabot, Martin, Paré General Partnership RAYMOND, CHABOT, MARTIN, PARÉ chartered accountants ing the status quo,” said Donna Dul, the director of the historic resources branch of the Manitoba government.Dul said Davis was also the province’s first premier elected directly by voters.The Lieutenant-Governor had been responsible for appointing the previous premiers once Manitoba became the fifth province in 1870.Davis, who had been educated at St.Francis College in Richmond, was premier during a period of rapid growth and change in the province.“It was an important time in the sense that the transition from the old Red River society to an organized political community within Confederation, had the handicap of dealing with the legacy of the Riel resistance,” said Ed Rea, a University of Manitoba history professor.Rea said Davis was representative of the early English settlers who rapidly rose to the fore-Robert A.Davis as he front of Manitoba’s appears on the plaque, development.The Métis began to disperse in the 1870s for economic reasons, leaving Manitoba in English hands, Rea said.Davis respected the Métis and French settlers, resisting demands to eliminate the bilingual, bicultural nature of the Manitoba Act.“There was a lot of ethnic tension and there was a lot of persecution of the Métis at that time,” Swan said.“It was a difficult time and the easy thing would have been to stick with the English rather than to make alliances with the French." Davis also had plenty of economic worries.The young province already had a debt in excess of $100,000 and Davis travelled to Ottawa to negotiate “better terms” for the province.He succeeded in convincing Prime Minister Alexander Mackenzie and was able to eliminate the debt.The first railway line between Winnipeg and St.Paul was completed during Davis’s tenure.Manitoba also began to export agricultural products, mostly wheat to the U.S.“That’s why we recognized him Sunday.He oversaw a lot of complex changes that went on in Manitoba,” Dul said.But Davis was never one to stay anywhere long.He retired from politics in 1878, sold his hotel and moved to Chicago to be with his wife, Elizabeth McGonagil.Davis had met Elizabeth while travelling to Ottawa in 1876, they were married shortly after, but she never joined him in Manitoba.“He had bigger ambitions anyway,” Swan said.“He relocated to Chicago and eventually became a successful real estate developer.” Davis became so wealthy that he spent the last 10 years of his life travelling across the U.S.He died at a health resort in Phoenix, Arizona in 1903 of Bright’s Disease, a kidney disease.He had no living direct descendants.Without Swan’s hard work, Davis’s memory would have died with him and his legacy would have been lost forever.At least now some Manitobans won’t be wondering -

like maybe letting strongly separatist-leaning Quebec regions break away rather than holding them against their will - showed a sense of restraint within the cabinet that we should all be grateful existed.Whatever Jack Aubry’s intention was with the publication of the Trudeau cabinet’s deliberations as its Plan B, a good many readers are probably breathing a little sigh of relief, knowing that someone in power had the presence of mind to initiate the drafting of contingency plans, just in case.And logic would suggest that plans C and D may have been in the works as well.Anyone with any military background will tell you that contingency plans for any foreseeable eventuality have to be developed and when the very integrity of a country is threatened, at least the rudiments of military thinking are sure to come into play.It is surely a source of some comfort to know that in 1977 some sound thinking, tempered with caution, was taking place behind the scenes and that 20 years later, there is evidence that there are still a few thinkers in positions of influence.Knowlton office 88 Lakeside, Knowlton, Quebec, JOE 1V0 Tel: (514) 242-1188 Fax: (514) 243-5155 MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST TOTAL Canada: 1 year 104.00 7.28 7.23 $118.51 6 MONTHS 53.50 3.75 3.72 $60.97 3 MONTHS 27.00 1.89 1.88 S30.77 Out of Quebec residents do not include PST.Rates for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of Ihe Record ordered one week after publication are available at $1.00 per copy.The Record was founded on February 7,1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.Canadian Publications Mail Service Product Agreement No.0479675.Member ABC, CARD, CDNA, NMB, QCNA A prayer for Canada Dear Editor, We are at a time in our history that in thanksgiving and with some real concern, we need to pray for our country.We need to pull up our history!

Rev.Alain A.Milot North Hatley Viewpoint Don Healy THEi Friday, February 7, 1997 page 7 SENIORS ‘There’s a question of fairness’ Seniors say federal cuts leave them black & blue By Jim Bronskill Southam Newspapers Ottawa A seniors group charged Wednesday that Canada is becoming one of the worst places in the world to retire because of bruising financial and social policies.The Canadian Association of Retired Persons criticized the federal government's proposed new seniors benefit Wednesday as the latest blow to the prospect of comfortable golden years for many older people, especially poor ones.“There’s a question of fairness,” said Walter Kelm, a CARP member and former senior Treasury Board official.“The low-income people, there’s been no relief provided for them.” The seniors benefit is just one program cited in the association’s newly compiled “black and blue book” - a list of cuts and changes the group says have left pensioners on shakier ground.A Finance spokeswoman said the department wanted a chance to fully review the group's material before commenting.In the 1996 budget, however, the department said revamping the safety net for seniors would result in high-income pensioners receiving smaller benefits, while poorer ones would collect more money.Under the plan, those who turn 65 between now and 2001 could choose whether they want the seniors benefit or the programs it would replace - Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement.Those who turn 65 after Jan.1, 2001, would automatically receive the new seniors benefit.About 25 per cent of seniors would receive less money, but the government says poor seniors would collect $120 more a year in benefits than they do now.At the same time, the treasury would SOME YOKE CATHY WATSON Henry Dubuc, an 87 year-old father of four, enjoyed the unique Father’s Day present he and other Wales Home residents were treated to earlier this week.Several friends of the Home lent their antique tool collections for exhibit in honor of Father’s Day.Allan Banfill, Doris Banfill, Philip Boersen, Roderick Morrison and Grace Johnston supplied articles that had been handed down to their families.Dubuc, a retired Domtar paper maker, remembers using and seeing many of these tools.Items like an ice saw, ice tongs, a bark shaver, carpenter’s angles, a bean thresher, tobacco cutters and an adze brought back memories.One particularly eye-catching piece had special meaning to him, “My mother’s grandfather, who raised a family of 12 near Wotton, used a yoke like this to carry water to the house from the spring," said Dubuc, trying on the carrying yoke for himself.r v i « n WALES save money.By 2030, the system would cost $69.1 billion, compared with $77.3 billion if the current regime continued.The association, which represents more than 300,000 retired and working people over age 50, argues: •The changes, combined with the elimination of two tax credits, could leave pensioners with $2,000 a year less in after-tax income.• Many seniors, even those with other income of $12,000 a year, would continue to live below the poverty line.•The extra $120 a year does next to nothing for impoverished pensioners.•The association advocates, at the very least, providing significantly higher basic benefits -¦=- and exempting poorer pensioners from any clawback or benefit tax.But it would prefer the government im- Deadline extended The deadline for submitting an application for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Se-niors’ Independence (HASI) program has been extended to December 31, 1997 or budget permitting.Through this government assistance, people 65 or older who have low incomes and difficulty performing certain daily tasks at home can receive up to $2500 for minor adaptations to their home.For any information, call the Société d’habitation du Québec at 1 800 463-4315 toll free.prove the current programs instead of replacing them.It points out the department promised to hold open parliamentary hearings on the legislation for the new system.Kelm wants federal officials to listen to the public before proceeding with changes.“1 don’t see why they have to be in a hurry to act.Why don’t you allow time for consultations?” He also believes the government should consider plowing some of its future budget surplus - due sooner than expected because the books are almost balanced - into seniors programs.P Y i# Caring For Our Elderly A RETIREMENT HOME FOH SENIOR CITIZENS • Private and semi-private rooms for mobile senior citizens.Well staffed medical infirmary for those requiring nursing care • Private apartments with kitchen units for self-care retirees.TH€ UiBLCS HOM€ 506 Route 243 North Richmond (Quebec) JOB 2H0 RODCRICK McidVCR executive Director Tel.: (819) 826-3266 Environment Environnement Canada Canada 900 565*4455 Consult with your meteorologist \Pic-nic/BBQ Outdoor work golf Fees Applicable page 8 Friday, June 27, 1997 Townships club to compete with those around the globe Radio club prepares for annual field day By Murielle Parkes Record Correspondent Mansonville Radio operators from the Town-shipper Radio Amateur Club will be trying to outdistance, outmaneuver and generally outdo radio clubs around the globe as they participate in a 24-hour disaster simulation test to see which club can make the most direct around-the-world contacts.Radio Amateur Field Day begins Saturday at 1 p.m.“We want to see how many countries we can tune in to,” said Don Wylie of Bromont, president and co-founder of the club in 1986.Prior to owning and operating a radio, a candidate must pass a basic level exam that can require anywhere from 25 to 30 hours of study.Wylie is one of the club's two accredited examiners named by Industry Canada (formerly Communications Canada) to administer radio amateur exams.His colleague and the club’s secretary, Richard Denault, has recently been awarded this same status.During emergencies, when normal communications can be disrupted, amateur radio operators skilled in the art of rescue communications can make the difference between life and death.Field Day provides an opportunity to practice these skills.“The idea is to simulate a disaster such as during a flood, an earthquake or snow storm when everything is down and see how well we can perform," said Wylie.— THE— -

The club’s treasurer, Mike Daviau, also of Mansonville, is a retired communications worker with Bell.He pointed out the collaborative aspect of the event.“It’s a time when everybody joins in and helps,” he said.“When you’re set- ting up in a field, you have to be prepared for anything.Sometimes Murphy’s Law takes over and anything that can go wrong will.” Last year, the club placed third in the province.Thanks to the Boulanger family, the club again has the use of Mount Sutton Lodge for the competition.About 25 of the club’s 60 operators are expected to participate in this year’s contest.In 1996, 1,928 North American sites, using more than 4,500 transmitters, reported a total of 1.1 million contacts.Of the total sites, 1528 used portable generators while 373 used battery power.The club meets the last Saturday of each month at the Cultural Centre in Cowansville.Members come from Montreal, the Townships and Burlington and Essex, Vt„ among other American communities.Said Wylie: “We’re an example of how well the French and the English can get along.” For more information, Don Wylie can be reached by phone at (514) 534-3710 or by radio at VE2DIW.Off to the races KAREN ROBINSON/CORRESPONDENT If beautiful horses and fast action sounds appealing, don’t miss the ‘circuit regional’ horse races this Saturday in Ayer’s Cliff Riders from all over Quebec will be racing their horses in a number of categories hoping to earn points towards the finals to be held in Montreal in October."There are four categories, determined by the age of the horse,” said Peter McHarg, whose horse, Powder My Nose, will compete in the five-year and older category.“These races are a lot of fun.There are some great drivers in the area and that always makes it exciting for the spectators.” All profits made from the parimutuel betting will go directly to the Ayer’s Cliff fair board.“This is the first time we’ve held races so early in the year but we're hoping for a good crowd," said organizer Smiley Dezan.The races run rain or shine.Post time is one p.m.- Karen Robinson, Record Correspondent.

Each year, a different guest speaker is invited to give the service.This year’s service will be delivered by Rosemary Lambie-Bromby of St.Andrew’s Church in Chateauguay.Holding services and events at the historic church is always a challenge, since the building has neither electrical nor water service, coffee for service goers is brought in large jugs or warmed by non-electric means.Interior lumination, when daylight does not suffice, is supplied by oil lamps held by the church’s 19th century revival chandeliers, as it was in the early days.Worshippers in the balcony sit on original wooden pews that are a true test of religious endurance.One can imagine generations of children squirming on the hard seats, impatiently daydreaming through the long services.Yet even in this simple church there is ample evidence of the ingenuity of its constructors.Painted on the wall behind the pulpit is a “trompe l’oeil,” a series of painted lines that create the impression of vaulted space behind the pastor as one might see in a larger church or cathedral.The Odelltown Church, unencumbered by the trappings of modernity, allows worshippers to experience a service largely unchanged from the days of their Loyalist forebearers.The general public is invited to attend the annual service on June 29 at the Odelltown Church located on Route 221 South in Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel.Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunches, lawn blankets and enjoy an after-service picnic on the church lawn.Coffee will be supplied by the United Church of Lacolle.MOVING > Let us know so you won't miss your y Child Tax Benefit ÿ goods and services tax (GST) credit y income tax refund (514) 496-4558 (Montréal area) 1 -800-959-2285 (rest of the province of Quebec) between 8:15 a.m.and 5:00 p.m.If you receive family allowances from the province of Quebec, we will inform the Régie des rentes du Québec of your new address.M Revenue Revenu /n,______ih Canada Canada L/âllclCul page 10 Friday, June 27, 1997 THE' SPORTS Mario Deslaurier is top Canadian in competition Equestrian event attracts some of world’s best MËËrr By Sylvia Warden Bromont Equestrian buffs from around the world have their eyes focused on the Eastern Townships this weekend.They’re watching the talents of local boy Mario Deslauriers and his Canadian teammates who are in Bromont to compete at a World Cup event at the International Bromont.The 23rd edition promises to be the biggest and the best yet, said event director Roger Deslauriers.This year's five-day event features 450 riders from Belgium, Puerto Rico, the United States and a large contingent of Canadians.Roger Deslauriers, Mario’s father, is also the director of the Bromont Equestrian Centre which is no stranger to high-calibre athletes.The site made history in 1976 when it hosted the Montreal Olympic’s equestrian events.Meanwhile, the younger Deslauriers is happy to be back on familiar territory.“It’s always a good feeling (being back here) .people are behind me.They cheer for me and they help me out.” Smiling broadly, the 32-year-old added, “every little bit helps." Although he leads Canadians in the SYLVIA WARDEN Bromont native Mario Deslauriers leads Canadians in World Cup standings.World Cup standings with 17 points earned from an excellent performance at Spruce Meadows June 7, Deslauriers says, “it’s a good start but there’s still a long way to go.” That long way includes finding and then developing new horses.At Spruce Meadows, Deslauriers’s winning mount was Amistad but for Sunday’s Grand Prix he’ll be atop Beach Game a 9-year-old German-bred horse.“I took him when he was a young horse and I brought him up all the way to the World Cup level and he’s doing really well,” said the former Olympian who now lives in East Kingston, N.H.If all goes well, Deslauriers hopes to be riding Beach Game in the 2000 Olympics at Sydney, Australia.For now though he’s concentrating on Sunday’s National Bank Grand Prix with the course designed by Aki Ylanne of Finland - the same designer who created the difficult courses at last summer’s Olympic Games in Atlanta.Deslauriers is competing against fellow Canadians Jay Hayes, Hugh Graham, Éric Lamaze, Chris Delia and international jumpers like Patrick Dheere of Belgium.Graham is the second highest Canadian in the World Cup standings.The event features a $50,000 purse and will be televised on TSN on Sunday.In addition to hosting a World Cup event, the International Bromont features Hunter events for less experienced equestrians.In these events the obstacles are lower and resemble what would be encountered on a hunt.Both the rider and the mount are judged for their poise, cleanness in jumps and elegance.Events continue throughout the weekend, wrapping up with the Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon at the Bromont Olympic site.ATV overturned on him Bruins’ Kennedy recovers from crash Staff Sheldon Kennedy, the 28-year-old forward with the Boston Bruins, who last year shocked all of Canada with his revelations of sexual abuse by former junior hockey coach Graham James was in stable condition Wednesday after being thrown from an all-terrain vehicle in central Alberta.The accident happened Monday near Sylvan Lake, a resort community close to Red Deer.The NHLer’s recreational vehicle overturned and he was thrown from it.The machine then rolled on top of Kennedy.His injuries were not life-threatening, Red Deer RCMP said.Since his startling disclosure of sexual abuse, Kennedy has been busy establishing a ranch in the British Columbia interior for sexually abused youngsters.His abuser is serving a 3 and a half year prison term for assaulting Kennedy and another former Swift Current Broncos’ player, whose name has never been made public.Kennedy signed with the Bruins as a free agent last summer after two seasons with the Calgary Flames, where he first told some teammates of the abuse.Kennedy went public with his story chronicling “more than 300 incidents” of abuse by James dating back to the mid-1980s.Kennedy came close to quitting hockey, but since going public he has been hailed as a hero for raising awareness that abuse exists in sport.That in turn prompted hockey organizations and other groups to beef up their screening techniques.National League Standings AS OF JUNE 26 East W L PCT GB Atlanta 48 28 .632 -

a mere 6 seconds behind the standard.In her best race at a 20km distance, Véronique Vandersmissen, 29, finished strongly to grab second in a time of 1:16:27 while Cindy New, 40, paced herself to a third place finish in a time of 1:20:09.The men’s race was dominated by Patrick Billette, 30, who strolled in from the hills, all alone, in a time of 1:07:59.5, about 34 minutes slower than Fraser Bertram’s, 1991 record of 1:04:54.Paul Tessier, 36, was second in a time of 1:10:15, nosing out Robert Coté, 31, who finished third with a time of 1:10:20.The same rains that thwarted Ledroit’s attempt at a record were greeted with enthusiasm out on the course by the hundreds of mid-packers who would otherwise have experienced unbearably high heat and humidity.Instead, a pleasant time was had by all, despite the usual cries of adversity and human failure.Local runners figured prominently on the tally sheets.Keith Bell was philosophically pleased with his 1:17:54 showing.Bob Morell, running even effort splits, posted a personal best time of 1:18:27, as part of his build up to a three-hour marathon attempt in the fall.Stan Shaten-stein, 1:20:38, greased in ahead of Medoc-St.Estephe marathon team member, Joe Ricci, 1:21:23.Steadily improving, Charles Lavergne, 1:24:27, earned the privilege of leading the fastest 60-year-old in the province, Andre Hamelin, 1:25:15.Triathlete, Jim Kenny, 1:27:04, and an aging Russ Petelle, 1:27:45, toyed with a three-hour pace most of the way before slowing in the hills.Yves Champagne, 1:32:37, and Bruno Rose, 1:33:03, led the No.2 60-year-old, Mike Bortkiewicz, home in a time of 1:33:59.Gordon Johnson, 1:41:11, carried on an animated discussion throughout the race and still managed to out distance the law as Don Bissonette labored behind in a time of 1:41:59.Monique Carbonneau showed why she is the class of 60-year-old females, crossing in a time of 1:43:28.Fleury and Annett take 10 km Pierre Fleury was the easy winner in the 10 km tour in a time of 33:46, Nicholas Lemaitre, 35:54, was second, and Shawn Allard, 37:16, was third.Christy Annett won the women’s race in a time of 42:52, with Jessica Wadsworth, second, in a time of 42:56, and Christine Bergeron, third, with a time of 43:17.Further back, the 10 km saw a rematch of the Milk Run as 19-year-old Mark Gibson, 40:15, won a duck while edging Roger Page, 40:21, and Murray Reynolds, 40:29.Jean Bernatchez, 65, dashed through in a time of 41:41.Other locals included Colin Gage, 45:41, Mike Bessette, 45:42, Debbie Weiner, 46:26, Chris Dunn 46:44, Colin Horan, 47:16, Norm Webster, 48:39, Alex Elder, 50:26, Louise Hodge, 50:56, Carolyn Eddy-Reynolds, 59:07, and Norleen Jones, 59:11.The action this Saturday shifts back to Vermont as the Mailman 10 Miler goes in Montpelier at 9 a.m.Paul Mailman, the founder, is a regular participant.Coming Events Saturday -
