Veering the focus away from Montreal’s anglophone community - the largest in the province - the report Vitality Indicators for Official Language Minority Communities 2: Three Quebec Anglophone Communities looks at trends in the Lower North Shore region, Quebec City and the Eastern Townships, was recently published by the federal agency the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages.In the Townships, the report was compiled based on 2007 working sessions held across the region attended by a group of active community members -with the Townshippers’ Association playing a lead role.The report's assessment placed the Eastern Townships ahead of the other two communities in terms of visibility and leadership, problems that are much more prominent in Quebec City, where Fraser notes assimilation happens more quickly, and the Lower North Shore, where geography is a significant challenge.The Eastern Townships has a larger overall population of anglophones than the other communities, although not a higher percentage.“The fact that the English community is as scattered (in the Townships) as it is represents a challenge,” Fraser said.“But on the other hand, it is much easier to get around the Eastern Townships than it is the North Shore.” Please see Anglos on Page 4 New CGI info technology centre to create 250 jobs PAGE 3 liig Apple Galt students go to New York PAGE 8 ^ w lOYOIAWHfflBEl ® TOYOTA 2009 CAMRY , 2008 TUNDRA 4x4 Editorial .6 Sports .13 Births & Deaths .15 Annie’s Mailbox .20 Comics .17 Classifieds .18 Horoscope.19 Crossword.19 s3577 month 48 month lease Transport & preparation Air & Electric group s515' per month1 plus taxes $0 First payment free on all our 2008 trucks Cashdown 151 Route 116, Richmond - Tel.: (819) 826-5923 • Toll free: 1-800- 5.7L 5 382 hp Towing capacity up to 10.800 lbs Aluminum wheels and so much more! _________________________________ . page 2 Monday, June 16, 2008 — i ¦ lilt I» RECORD mm.lUTO.J'JJ 01 06 09 14 9 39 41 8 42 44 Bonus Bonus 904,88 .45,679 748,3' 13,283 248.136 2/6+B 7813352 24 26 33 42 Bonus 8982903 S100.000 per year for life Draws on July 1s' 2008.LOTO Draw results 2008-06-14 QUEBEC Draw results 2008-06-13 Bringing the kids together Week nine By Murielle Parkes Record correspondent Mansonville For Jacques Marcoux and Charlie Hingston — the two crazy guys on bikes — week nine began with 11 straight hours of rain, road closures, and a forced stop in Effingham, Illinois.The weather was ominous; the outlook uncertain.Fortunately, it didn't last.The next day shone bright.It was a day like no other, wrote Hingston.“Warm, 90 degrees, sun high in the sky, the road straight and smooth, great shoulder, minimal traffic and a gentle breeze on our back.” The two adventure cyclists were en route to Terre Haute, Indiana.By week’s end, they had reached Hebron, Ohio with another 605 km added to Marcoux’s journal.The two were 11 km shy of breaking their week-five record of 615 km.Meanwhile, another Marcoux objective was unfolding; on Monday afternoon, while Marcoux and Hingston were pedaling on Route 40 from Terre Haute to Cloverdale, Indiana, Rachel Massicks’ grade 3-6 class in Mansonville was hosting Shannon Bowman’s grade-four class from Troy School in North Troy.Along for the visit were nine adults, including parents, para-educators and the local youth director, Mable Hastings.Both classes had been following the crazy-guy-on-a-bike trip.Marcoux knew they were coming together.He wrote them an open letter in his journal: “We can all learn from each other and use this learning experience as a means to becoming better individuals.” Marcoux wants his initiative to foster physical and health-related activities.Beneficiaries of his fundraising efforts are the two Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre groups working with youth and adults with disabilities, and the Troy School after-school program.“If one person goes through life in a better way than he or she would have because of this experience, 1 think it [will] have been worthwhile,” says Marcoux.Already, such signs are appearing.Wrote one well-wisher: “My daughter is riding her bike EVERYDAY.rain or shine.Thank you for inspiring her so." Along with Mar-coux’s emphasis on sports and physical exercise, he is also concerned about community cohesion."Basically I hope for more results.I really hope with this trip to bring the community [in which I live] closer together.I’ve noticed up until now, because I’ve been fairly active in the community.that the trip itself has created a lot of interest and has created links between people that did not exist before.I really hope the schools in Mansonville and the school in North Troy [will] develop some sort of liaison so that the kids benefit from each other.” For the initial get-together, kids mixed, adults mingled.The group watched Marcoux describe his trip and aspirations on Mountain Lake PBS and Vermont Television’s Across the Fence.Students signed their names on souvenir banners, reviewed Marcoux’s progress, then connected to his cyberspace journal.“Who was John William Blind Boone?” asked Massicks in response to a question appearing on the screen.Replied one voice nearby: “A famous pianist! I think he was a jazz player-.Better look it up.” “Does anyone want to come and use my laptop?" The invitation came from another direction where a group of boys had gathered.For the North Troy students, it was their last full day of school.“Thank you for letting us come, thank you for sharing your classroom with us, your laptops and exploring with the kids.” enthused Bowman in front of the group.Emily Dobler, a visiting grade-four student, wrote of the experience in Marcoux’s guestbook: “It was very interesting." Massicks was equally enthusiastic: “You are welcome anytime.You are an honour to your country and your school.Well done!” Already, the two classes are talking about coming together in the fall.That's when Marcoux expects to be returning to Mansonville.By the end of week nine, Marcoux had cycled 605 km for a total of 5,127 km and chalked up another 3,449 hits for a total of 43,132 plus 721 pics on his website, jmarcouxl.googlepages com.The two men had pedaled through three states from Effingham lin Illinoisi to Terre Haute, Cloverdale and Indianapolis (in Indiana), onto Richmond, Springfield and Hebron (in Ohio).For week 10, Marcoux heads off for Pennsylvania.He also says good-by to Charlie.Weather Ben by Daniel Sheldon Today: Cloudy with sunny periods and 60 per cent chance of showers.Low 18.High 22.Tuesday: Cloudy with 70 per cent chance of showers.Low 12.High 19.Wednesday: Cloudy with 70 per cent chance of showers.Low 10.High 17.Thursday: Cloudy with 60 per cent chance of showers.Low 9.High 18, if GOP hap wantep U$ TO MOVE TREES, HE WOULPNT VE GIVEN y/B NEEP TO MOVE THIS 7 SHRU0 FROM HERE T0THE17E L fzau RECORD Monday, June 16, 2008 page 3 Sherbrooke is chosen for new tech centre Kennedy Jr.champions environment SJ*’"'*’ inii.it]ill lII I j-iiii Éillâa Mnm imm Up to 250 new jobs expected Staff Sherbrooke Museum’s keynote speaker GI Group Inc., a major player in /Vernier Jean Charest tion techology centre the information technology and business process services sector, announced the opening of a new centre of excellence in downtown Sherbrooke that could create as many as 250 new jobs in the coming two to three years.The centre will specialize in emerging technologies, Web and application maintenance for the primary sectors in which CGI offers its services - government, financial services, telecommunications and utilities, manufacturing as well as retail and distribution — and will serve many large international clients.CGI’s President and Chief Executive Officer Michael E.Roach and CGI’s Founder and Executive Chairman Serge Godin made the announcement Friday at the University of Sherbrooke.On hand were a number of provincial and municipal dignitaries including Quebec Premier Jean Charest, Employment and Social Solidarity Minister Sam Hamad, Sherbrooke mayor Jean Perrault, and members of the Sherbrooke University Pole, a strategic alliance involving a variety of partners, including University of Sherbrooke rector Bruno Marie Béchard.“The addition of Sherbrooke is an important next step in the development of CGI’s ability to deliver the highest quality services and meet the growing needs of its global clients,” stated a company press release, noting CGI employs experienced professionals serving clients throughout the world in its centers of excellence in Canada, the United States, Western Europe, and India.CGI applies rigorous criteria in selecting locations for its global delivery centres, the company noted.Among the primary reasons Sherbrooke was chosen, was for the availability of a y Li: PERRY BEATON spoke to reporters and staJJ at press conference held to announce new CGI Group infor in Sherbrooke.ma- large pool of bilingual students and skilled IT (information technology) professionals, partnerships with local universities and Cégeps, and the proximity of existing clients.The company also noted that Sherbrooke was recognized by the Canadian Business Magazine as the top place to do business in Canada in 2007.The city benefits from strong exports, a highly-educated workforce and a low unemployment rate, and is the location of two universities and three Cégeps.“This new centre of excellence will enable CGI to continue to provide the best client-prescribed mix of local and global delivery sourcing," said Claude Marcoux, senior vice-president and general manager, Quebec.“By combining Sherbrooke’s existing skilled labour force and CGI’s technological knowhow, we will create an environment in which CGI and the Sherbrooke region can win and grow together.” Among its many clients will be Bombardier Recreational Products, which has set up a centre in the new technical and industrial park beside the University of Sherbrooke.“BRP, a CGI client for several years, will draw on the application maintenance services offered by the Sher- brooke centre of excellence to ensure the reliability of the systems used by our clients and employees around the world,” said Ral Deslauriers, Vice-President Information Systems at BRP.“CGI’s presence in Sherbrooke highlights how dynamic the region has become, and gives us access to an exceptional level of expertise,” he added.The centre, which is expected to open in the fall, is currently seeking software developers, analyst programmers and test specialists whose area of expertise is primarily in application development, notably using Java and .Net.It will also have positions to fill in a number of specializations such as IBM technology platforms and Microsoft.By Joe Strizzi Sherbrooke awyer and champion of the environment, Robert F.Kennedy r., encouraged Canadians to lavoid the injustices he feels his own American government is guilty of when dealing with issues of the environment.“The White House, in just a few years, annihilated 30 years of environmental regulations.Don’t let this happen here,” he said.Kennedy is the son of Robert Kennedy, assassinated while campaigning to become the Democratic nominee for the presidency in 1968, and nephew of President John F.Kennedy Jr.who suffered the same fate as his brother —spoke in front of 450 people at the Granada Theatre in Sherbrooke last Thursday at a fundraiser for the Musée de la nature et des sciences in Sherbrooke.Kennedy said that the political conservatism practiced by Canada’s neighbours to the south is enterprise-oriented at the expense of the environment and democracy, and highlighted his pursuit to end what he calls a petroleum-based economy.“When Mr.(U.S.President George W.) Bush or (Canadian Prime Minister Stephen) Harper make claims that energy efficiency will make their country less competitive, that’s false.Carbon is a weight on the country, and those nations like Iceland and Sweden, which have some de-car-bonization elements in place, are some of the richest countries in the world,” Kennedy said.IT’S SUMMERTIME!

organizations in the Townships.“The region needs strong enough institutions to ensure that young people have the skills to do the jobs that need to be done to maintain the community.” “A community that loses its critical mass ceases, at a certain point, to be a community,” reads the report.Drivers of vitality According the study, in some cases, English-language organizations, initiatives or services in the Townships were identified as not being well-utilized by the community, often because anglophones were either unaware of or unable to access them.The local arts and culture scene is one that could be given a shake, the study suggested, not simply for its cultural value, but also as a way to encourage “intra-community engagement and the prospect of employment for community members.” “Media - particularly newspapers - play an important community role," said Fraser, al- though they face the wider challenge of attracting readers as media trends evolve.“I’ve always been impressed by the vigour of The Record and other weeklies in the region,” he said.“One of the challenges is ensuring that the (English) media continue to have a presence with younger generations here.” While the report may suggest challenges that have already been identified by those living in the region, Fraser says the report can help make headway in affected communities based on how well they collaborate with partners.The Official Languages Act, Fraser points out, saw amendments made to it in 2005 that now oblige federal institutions to take positive measures to help official language minorities in Canada.“I can do a lot, but I can’t create or subsidize programs," Fraser said.“That’s up to the community.” The vitality report was released during the annual general meeting of the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), a not-for-profit bringing together 29 English language community organizations across Quebec.The Office of Official Languages similarly released a study on three francophone minority communities in urban Canada, in Halifax, Sudbury and St.Boniface, a neighbourhood in Winnipeg.Looking at those communities alongside the anglophone ones in Quebec provided a much fairer comparison, Fraser noted, similar to “comparing apples with apples.” See the full report online at www.officiallanguages.gc.ca.Community Type of Community Population with English oatha Flrat Official

for cancer Relay for Life in two communities Joe Strizzi Sherbrooke The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life raised over $290,000 over the weekend in two separate events that took place in the Townships.“It was a very successful weekend,” said Jacques Raby, development agent of the Relay for Life in the Eastern Townships.“On Friday, the Sherbrooke event raised approximately $220,000, while the relay held in Waterloo on Saturday brought in about $70,000.” The Relay For Life is a 12-hour overnight walk where one member of a 10-person team is walking at all times with the goal of raising money to fight cancer.But, it is also an evening where family and friends get together and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back in the hope of finding a cure.“We were a wonderful group of people,” said cancer survivor Anita Bouthil-lette.“I lost my daughter from cancer when she was just 24 years old, and then I had to fight the disease years later as well.It was absolutely wonderful to see the number of people participating.” The 3rd annual Sherbrooke relay pro- duced 920 walkers and 220 cancer survivors, with 3,900 sponsored-lanterns lighting a one km.track at the Julian Ducharme Arena.The first-ever relay in Waterloo, although smaller than that in Sherbrooke, surpassed organizers’ expectations.“We were hoping to raise about $15,000, but we were able to collect five times that amount.I didn’t even have time to participate in the walk because I had so much more money to deal with than what was expected,” said Bouthil-lette, who, because of her duties as treasurer of the Waterloo walk, could not participate in the tradition of inviting cancer survivors to walk the first lap.There were close to 400 participants, with 83 cancer survivors walking the .6 km path at the municipal beach in Waterloo, lit by 1900 sponsored lanterns.Both events began at 7 p.m.and concluded the following morning at 7 a.m., despite the difficult weather, especially some rain on Saturday.“Events like these provide hope to survivors and sufferers alike, providing them with support with the goal of raising funds to continue research in hopes of finding a cure,” Raby said.“I am looking forward to next year’s event, all the participants are,” said Boutillette.Math exam features bullets By Brenda Branswell Canwest News Service Question No.25 on a final physics exam has caused quite a stir, even before students in Quebec’s English schools had finished writing the test.The question on the Grade 11 Physics 534 exam asked students to investigate an imaginary crime scene in a school auditorium, where a victim lay on the stage with a gunshot wound in his head.A diagram shows a victim in the shape of a gingerbread man, and four possible suspects — Archie, Patricia, Sandra and Serge — identified by smiley faces.The question asked students to identify the killer by using the data provided, which included the velocity of a bullet as it left the gun and the distance it travelled in the skull.“To my knowledge the same exam was given to all Anglophone public and private students in the province, so yes it was used in Eastern Townships School Board classrooms,’ said ETSB spokeswoman Sharon Priest.“We found it to be unfortunate and an inappropriate choice for the exam,” Priest said Saturday.Other school boards appear to agree.“I think it’s inappropriate, quite frankly,” said Kevin Lukian, director general of the Riverside School Board on Montreal’s South Shore."With everything that we’re trying to do these days to counter violence and to make schools safe places, I find it disappointing that there would be a question of this nature,” Lukian said.“It’s not necessary.” The exam was written for students in public and private English schools in Quebec.Rather than being produced by the education ministry, however, it was designed by a province-wide committee made up of teachers and consultants from English school boards in Quebec, said Ken Elliott, director of educational services at the Lester B.Pearson School Board on Montreal’s West Island.At Montreal’s Marymount Academy, there was some discussion Friday about whether to remove the question, said Steven Erdelyi, head of the high school’s science department.The staff and principal opted not to, because the exam was more than halfway through and some students had begun working on the problem.“So we felt it would be unfair to them to pull the question,” Erdelyi said.He was under the impression that some schools yanked the question from the exam, while others did not.At Dawson College, where a gunman opened fire in September 2006, staff no longer use bullets as examples in courses that teach velocity and impact, said spokeswoman Donna Varrica.One student was killed and 20 others were injured during the attack, before the gunman shot himself to death.Briefs Missing man sought Sherbrooke Police are searching for a 53-year-old Rock Forest man missing since Friday afternoon.A local resident notified police after he discovered a kayak capsized on Lake Magog in Deauville around 3:30 p.m.in the afternoon.Police called in Sûreté du Québec divers on Saturday, whom conducted an underwater search from 8 a.m.until 5 p.m.The investigation turned up the man’s lifejacket, a baseball cap, as well as the location of his vehicle and where he rented the kayak at Camping le Lac Magog.Although police were unable to give more details, they did say that the SQ divers might be called back in early Monday to continue the search.Class action in gas prices Two class action lawsuits were filed in Quebec Superior Court on Friday, both opposing the price fixing scandal involving Quebec gas stations.The first lawsuit, filed by a resident of Lac-Beauport, but who is originally from Thetford Mines, seeks financial retributions in the neighbourhood of $10 million from gas stations implicated in Thetford Mines, Sherbrooke, Magog, and Victoriaville.Two citizens, one from Sherbrooke and the other from Ham-Nord in central Quebec, filed the second claim, whose monetary damages have not been set.The two cases, eventually, will not survive independently during the same time, and it has been estimated that 15 months may be needed before the cases appear before a judge.PQ_elect new regionial president At the last regional executive meeting of the Parti Québécois, Sylvie Lapointe-Proulx was elected to replace outgoing president Guylaine Boulanger who resigned for professional reasons.Lapointe-Proulx, who was vice-president, has been in the St-François riding association for years.The regional executive also elected Sherbrooke councillor Mariette Fugère as responsible for communications as well as Joëlle Subranni and Roger Nadeau as councillors.Other members of the executive include Sébastien Gagnon (vice-president), Jean-François Blais (political affairs), Jean Côté (treasurer), Bernard Larouche (secretary), Marc Ferland (training) and Martine Leblanc-Constant (youth wing representative).Vallières celebrates the big 3-0 Richmond MNA Yvon Vallieres is celebrating 30 years in political life.The long-time Quebec Liberal was first elected in Richmond in October 1973.Vallieres, who studied education and psychology at the University of Sherbrooke, took some time off from politics to teach in the late 1970s, and was re-elected to the National Assembly in 1981.Most recently, Vallieres served as the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food until April 2007, when he took over as chair of the government caucus.The father of four was born in Danville in 1949.A celebration is being organized in Vallieres’ riding this fall.cE> Medic Alert ALWAYS O M CALL www.medicalert.ca For more information 1-8QD-668-15D7 Recognized around the

it.If the educational system would only encourage praxis over banking of information, schools would be greatly improved.David Joyai.Desmarais lives in Danville.On teaching ie May 12 Record featured an article titled “Did you learn it by heart?” It stated that students learn remarkably little by heart, and that the Quebec Education Plan should encourage memory work.The author suggested that such a thing would benefit children’s academic achievements and used recent studies from the National Academy of Sciences to support his assumptions.Presently attending Cégep, and having recently finished high school, it saddens me greatly to hear such a statement coming from one who - has worked within the system for years.To say that students don’t memorize anymore is simply outrageous.In elementary schools, students still have to learn an incredible amount of words, grammar rules, as well as basics such as the alphabet and the multiplication table.Moreover, high school courses like English require that the student learn by heart such things as speeches, poems, monologues, and on occasion, songs.We must not forget geography, biology, physics and chemistry that also demand a great deal of memorization.Yet, this can’t be true.If students are presently being exposed to continuous memory training activities, they should all be succeeding with flying colours, shouldn’t they?But what if the studies held by the Academy of Sciences were faulty?According to psychometrics (a field of study concerned with psychological measurements and theories such as fluid and crystallized intelligence), the results of the experiments referred to in the article are actually quite inconsistent.Researchers selected four groups of children and measured their “fluid intelligence” (their ability of solving and understanding problems) by the use of IQ.tests.Between periods of eight to 19 days, they gave the kids half an hour a day of memory training.They then concluded that all four groups had improved greatly compared to other groups that had received no special training.Viewpoint David Joyal Desmarais Although it is unfortunate that many could not see the flaws in this experiment, we are lucky some still dare question such things.A few days after the article, a friend of mine, who was also quite shocked by the article, came to me and revealed the two major details that would have led to such results.The first being that the exercises done by the four groups were in fact quite similar to what would be asked in most IQ - tests.In other words, they were actually practicing for the test instead of augmenting their intelligence.The second element was that IQ tests were not originally made to measure intelligence, being liquid or crystallized.Their purpose was to identify students who needed extra help at school and to permit them to catch up.Alfred Binet himself, the inventor of the first usable IQ test, stated that “[the test’s] scale, properly speaking, does not permit the measure of intelligence, because intellectual qualities are not superposable, and therefore cannot be measured as linear surfaces are measured.’’ Memorizing only augments our capacity to hold knowledge and does not make us more intelligent.We do not necessarily learn anything new when we learn things by heart.However, knowledge is far from being the main factor for strong brainpower; there are many people who know things but very few who can apply what they know.Knowledge is useless without wisdom and so it is the combination of these two characteristics that creates intelligence.Wisdom is the most crucial part, as it is also the one psychometrics has labelled as fluid intelligence and de- scribed to be innate.However, it is our job to learn how to apply it; either by gaining experience or by doing activities that requires us to think.This includes reading, thinking up ideas, and solving problems.Although the current educational system ought to be changed, increasing the amount of things that must be memorized is simply not the way to go.It would only augment how much ' ¦M l'lll Mil RECORD P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 5L6or 1195 Galt E, Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7

I was scared, but 1 did it and I’m glad,” said Alyssa Fortin Paossi.Aaron Grondin comments were that it was, “Excellent.It felt like you were flying.it was a challenge, but wicked fun!” All the students agreed that it was cool — maybe in more ways than one! Meet our Librarian! The Galt Library located on the third floor of the central block, has over the past 18 months become an exciting and inviting place to be mostly thanks to our Head Librarian Judith Munger and her able assistant, Dale Davidson.(Chris Garbutt assisted Judith last year.) Ms Munger has encouraged the student body to use the Library, a fantastic resource that many schools are not privileged to have.How has she done this?It is not just down to her warm personality, and her sheer love of learning that she shares with all who talk with her, but due to the numerous displays that she puts together each month.Ms Munger also has hosted a number of student created displays over the year, especially those of students from Cycle 1, but also from our Art students.The current display is from both Mr.Rivard’s level one Science classes.Also put on display over the course of the year are many new books that have been purchased.Level 3 Student Rebecca MacMillan said she appreciates seeing what is available before it is placed on the shelves.“Ms.Munger also takes suggestions from students.She bought the second part of a Tamara Price series after I mentioned that I liked it,” said Rebecca.Ms Munger also helped Ms Marcy Clark with the 2008 Reading Challenge, keeping track of those students participating and generously buying the prizes that were recently awarded.These winners were (for girls): Jessica Houle (1st), Elizabeth Rivett (2nd), and Kristina Lariviere (participation).For boys, the winners were: Trent Schoolcraft (1st), Darren Darby (2nd), and Colin Murphy (participation).Ms Munger also bought prizes for ALL who participated — 76 prizes in total.Students who read at least 500 pages received bookmarks, those who read 500 plus pages got a notebook, and those who went over 1,000 pages were awarded with a sketch pad and pen.New Student’s Council Elected On Tuesday May 20th, elections were held at noon to vote in next year’s Student Council Executives.There was a 3-way race for the position of Piesident, and voters had to choose front 4 people running for Activities.Voter turnout was a disappointing 26.8 per cent (230/868 possible voters).There will be 8 Walk-on Positions (for auxiliary members) for those students who ran in the campaign but were not elected.Congratulations to our new 2008-09 Council Members.All stories written by English 306-06 (Ms.Brown’s class), with contributions from the Galt student body and staff. i T11K Sports Newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, June 16, 2008 page 13 Athlétiques BRP drop two of diree By Mike Hickey Special to The Record The Sherbrooke Athlétiques BRP’s scheduled double-header against the Quebec City Diamonds last night was postponed due to rain.The team posted just one victory in three games over the weekend, although they easily could have won all three.An error by first baseman David Gagnon opened the floodgates and led to four unearned runs that proved to be the difference in Sherbrooke’s 5-3 defeat to the Longueuil Dues Thursday night at Amédée Roy Stadium.The Athlétiques BRP jumped out to a 2-0 lead after three innings of play but the visitors added a single run in their half of the fourth and then took advantage of Gagnon’s error to take a 5-2 lead.Sherbrooke got one run in their half of the inning to cut the deficit to 5-3 but that was as close as they would get.Shawn Sweeney, Gagnon and Renaud Cartier had two hits apiece while Cartier and Max Morin had run-scoring doubles.Etienne St.Amand saw his season record evened at 2-2 as he yielded six hits and four walks while striking out four batters in 6 2/3 innings of work.Mario Cantan-zariti came in to the game in the seventh inning and retired the only two batters he faced.Martin Bosse recorded a complete-game victory as he gave up three runs on nine hits while striking out five.Gagnon atoned for his fielding miscue the following night as he led the Athlétiques BRP to a 10-2 victory over the Repentigny Royals as he blasted a grand slam home run, his second round tripper of the season, and drove in six runs.Repentigny took a 2-0 lead in the first inning but Sherbrooke tied the game on Gagnon’s two-run single in the third inning and then broke open the game as Gagnon hit a bases-loader homer.The Athlétiques BRP added a single run in the sixth inning and then rounded out their scoring with three runs in the seventh.In all the Athlétiques belted 11 hits and took advantage of six walks by the Royals pitching tandem of Dany Boivin and Maxime Lalonde.j Gabriel Boulanger, Maxime Morin and Gabriel Lemay also had two hits apiece with Boulanger dri- j ving in a pair of runs.Renaud Cartier and Nicolas Bleau drove in the final two Sherbrooke runs.Marc Bourgeois, who normally patrols center field for Sherbrooke, was a surprise starter for the Athlétiques BRP and gave a credible performance.Bourgeois, called into service on the mound ! because the team was playing five j games in four days, picked up the win as he allowed just five hits and two walks while striking out five in six innings of work.Both Repentigny runs were unearned.Catanzariti came in relief in the seventh inning and retiree all three batters he faced Sherbrooke let one get away Saturday night when they blew a four-run lead in a 5-4 loss to the Longueuil Dues.Karl Tremblay was cruising with a no-hitter over five innings when a bout of wildness proved costly in the bottom of the sixth inning.Cody Pifer got things started with a double and then Tremblay walked the next three batters to force in a run and load the bases.Tremblay was relieved by Dave Morinville who promptly served up a grand slam home run to catcher Ryan j Shamshoum that gave Longueuil a 5-4 win.Sherbrooke had taken their lead with a run in the first inning and three more in the fifth as Cartier smacked a solo home run while Boulanger and Lemay each drove in a run.However it was the Athlétiques BRP’s inability to cash in on their scoring opportunities that came back to haunt them.They stranded 10 base runners, including three in the seventh inning.Sherbrooke is back in action Wednesday when they travel to Trois-Rivières to play a single game against the Eagles and then play a twinbill with the Repentigny Royals at home next Saturday.y .' .¦ * x.< >*¦"?¦ The Impact scored their first goal in their new stadium.COURTESY Impact win one for Limniatis By Mike Hickey Special to The Record ¦¦^¦¦Jie John Limniatis era with the Montreal Impact got off to a great start this weekend as the Impact regis-JL tered their first-ever win at Saputo Stadium with a 1-0 victory over the Charleston Battery Friday evening.A goal from forward Rocco Placentino in the 69th minute was the game’s only score as the Impact broke a three-game losing streak in front of 13,034 spectators — the first win and first goal for the Impact in four games played in their new home, as well as new head coach John Limniatis’ first win.The rookie coach was quick to take the emphasis away from himself and give it to the players.“I’m very happy for the players,” said John Limniatis.“We have played and won to get our confidence back.We finally scored, but we need more than that to have success the whole season.I hope this is the first of a series of wins.” On the winning play Placentino received a short pass from defender Adam Braz, took control of the ball, and fired a high 25-meter shot that found the back of the net after sailing just above the Battery goalkeeper Dustin Hudock.“It’s a ton of bricks out of our shoulders," said Placentino.“I think that I did not play well tonight, but I’m happy to have broken the ice tonight.I hope to continue scoring because it’s an amazing feeling.” The Impact and their fans thought they had scored a goal much earlier in the game but the referee did not agree.In the tenth minute midfielder Patrick Leduc fired a strong 30-meter shot that Hudock deflected on the crossbar.The ball then bounced inside the goal line, but the referee did not signal a goal and the two teams played on.Late in the first half the Impact had two other scoring chances but came up empty.On the first, forward Charles Gbeke deflected with a header a centering pass from Placentino, but the ball grazed the post to the left of the Battery goalkeeper.A few seconds later, on a nearly identical play, Hudock saved a shot from Gbeke on the goal lines, after diving to the left.Impact Goalkeeper Matt Jordan made eight saves to get his fourth shutout of the season.In the first half, he blocked two point blank shots from Ian Fuller and Randi Patterson.On the first play Fuller took a point blank shot that Impact goalkeeper Jordan stopped with his feet, diving to the floor.Later in the half, Patterson deflected with a header on a centering pass from midfielder Chris Williams inside the penalty box.Jordan made the save once again with a dive to his left.“We struggled a little bit in the first half to get our legs but we dug deep,” said Jordan.“We got this result when we desperately needed it.It’s a new start and a new season for us.We are ready for the remaining 19 games.” Defender Nevio Pizzolitto, who came in the second half, played his 219th career game with the Impact, tying Nick De Santis in second place in club history for most games played.For a fourth consecutive game at Saputo Stadium, the Impact played in front of a sold out crowd.The Montreal Impact will play its second game of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship on Tuesday, against the Vancouver Whitecaps at Saputo Stadium (7:30 p.m., CKAC Sports, TEAM 990). ., ,> mm S:.k - * nr*.' &*& V.:.**-

Sherbrooke A Saturday in May saw the senior Alexander Galt Regional High School Pipers and the Sherbrooke Séminaire Barons shaking out the kinks and readying themselves for the upcoming fall season.“We’re getting there,” said coach Pat Dubois as he shook hands with parents after his Pipers ended one up over the Barons.“We’re the only English school playing and we have a big season ahead of us.” While no one really kept score, players from both schools revelled in their first time out and demonstrated good sportsmanship all around as parents lined the Galt football field in encouragement.The Pipers will lose three of their senior players next year due to graduation (two of whom have made it on the Champlain Cougar roster), but Dubois is confident of a strong senior team.Photos by Jen Young :-' THE ¦¦ RECORD Monday, June 16, 2008 page 15 St.Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Guild Lennoxville The Guild members met at the home of Norma Brown on May 20 for their silent

interior of my home.The contractors doing these various projects come to my door with a cigarette already in progress, with the ashes so long they will fall at any moment.Or they’re eating the

brother-in-law, who showed up with a sweet roll?Does this behavior not strike them as rude?Or, should I answer my doorbell from now on with an ashtray in one hand and a trash bag in the other?— Trying to Keep Clean Dear Clean: It’s OK to tell someone to put out the cigarette before they enter your home.The food is more complicated.It’s rude to drop bits of edible debris all over someone’s house.Employees can be instructed not to eat inside.Relatives and friends who knock on your door carrying goopy, crumbly food should be told, “Wait right here while I get you a napkin.” Then steer them into the kitchen.Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Heartbroken Mom,” whose son sustained a brain injury.1 have a disabled husband who was brain-injured while serving in the military.You wonder why God would do this to you.I compare it to a family picture that has crashed to the floor and you have put it back together with tape and glue.It was very hard at first, and 1 cried and told the social worker that I didn’t know how to start picking up the broken pieces of the picture frame.1 was so shocked and stressed.Yes, people make idiotic remarks.My husband gets a VA pension plus disability, and some people seem to think 1 won the lottery.They say, “You’re so lucky to get these pensions.” I’ve learned to reply, "Don’t you think I would rather have my husband’s health and ability to work instead?” That makes them understand the stupidity of their remark.Life changes, and sometimes quickly.But eventually you will be able to look at all the good you have, instead of grieving the loss of what should have been.-Been There for 15 Years Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers colinnn.Housework Cups and

it won’t happen by itself.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Be sure that your goals and desires are well worth the price.A monumental target is doable, but you’ll need to be prepared to give it your best shot.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23)— Basically you’re fun loving and adventurous, but if you’re tired after a hectic weekend, you may merely want to be left alone.Even if you don’t want to join in, be courteous about how you say no.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) — Your tolerance for those who are takers may be at low ebb, so you’re going to have to tread lightly when near someone who wants to be waited on.If you don’t, cross words could erupt.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - Even though it might be unintentional, your love for new challenges could make others feel as if you’re competing in everything they do.Make an effort to work with them instead.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) — Sometimes it is wise not to reveal your plans, but not doing so could cause cohorts to think you have a personal motive and are being sneaky.Share your hopes with them.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Hopefully, you ve been blind to the indiscretions of others in the past, because you may need them to look the other way for you.Unless your dues are paid, they won’t.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Don’t expect associates suddenly to be swayed to your position, especially if they have never been supportive in the past.People rarely change, so be prepared to proceed without them.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Adopting a negative attitude simply because you’re tired will only make your day worse.Snap out of the doldrums and quit making life miserable for yourself and associates.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t let anyone convince you to put good money after bad.If a financial situation is heading south, cut your losses and don’t waste anymore of your hard-earned funds.Monday, June 16, 2008 Frustration that is often avoidable By Phillip Alder Bridge can be a frustrating game at times.You have a winner on the board, which you need for your contract, but you are stuck in your hand, unable to get over there to cash it.Sometimes that will be the result of carelessness on your part, but occasionally it will be because the suit was blocked.This week we are going to look at suits that are blocked or might become blocked.What is a blocked suit?It is one in which you have tricks that cannot be taken immediately.For example, you have doubleton A-K in your hand and Q-J-5-4 on the board.You have four tricks, but only if, after cashing — unblocking — your ace and king, you can get to the board to collect the queen and jack.That suit involved honor-cards, but this deal features spot-cards: those below the rank of the jack.You are in three no-trump.West leads the spade king.What would be your line of play?Your hand, with its three aces and two kings, is worth nearer 22 points than 20.North is too weak to contemplate five diamonds as a final contract, so he should raise to three no-trump and CROSSWORD North 06-16-08 A 7 2 ¥ 6 3 ?A 7 5 4 3 2 *854 West East A K Q J 10 9 ¥ K 7 ?10 8 * J 10 8 6 A 8 6 5 3 ¥ Q J 10 9 4 ?0 J * 9 7 South A A 4 ¥ A 8 5 2 ?K 9 6 * A K Q 3 Dealer: South Vulnerable: Neither South West North East 2 NT Pass 3 NT All pass Opening lead: A K hope for the best.(Yes, five diamonds makes here, but that isn’t the point!) The opponents have struck your Achilles’ heel.Clearly the diamond suit will have to run.For that, you will need to find a 2-2 break.But that is not all: If you are careless, the suit will become blocked.After taking the spade ace, cash your diamond king, then lead the nine to dummy’s ace.When the opponents’ four cards are 2-2, you can run the rest of the suit (starting with the seven!) for at least 11 tricks.ACROSS 37 Broadway presentation Berlin 45 Act just like 1 Knight’s aide 38 Miata maker 27 Pottery oven 49 Type of street 5 Champagne musicmaker 41 Day- paint 28 Plumbing woe 50 Angry

16, 2008 RECORD June meeting of Richmond Hill Women’s Institute The members of the Richmond Hill Women’s Institute can hardly wait for the June meeting each year because we travel to Newport, Vermont, to the home of member Alma Marsh.On Thursday, June 5, the weather made it a pleasure to travel and we enjoyed riding in the van of Vincent and Edith Farant.We arrived with time to spare before a delicious dinner was put before us.Edith Farant took the chair for the meeting, thanking Alma for her hospitality and for such a lovely meal.She led us in the repeating of the Collect.The roll call was answered by 5 members and our driver as our guest.We were asked where we would like to vacation this summer and it sounds like most everyone will be staying close to home.The minutes of the April meeting and a brief meeting on May 15 were read and approved.Arising from the minutes, we spoke about the dinner we had catered for the annual County meeting, expressing our delight at how well it had gone.We mentioned the quilt members had been working on.There is no rush and they are waiting to go together to choose the backing and bind- ing fabric.We discussed how well the first Social Afternoon had been received, despite the small crowd.Regarding the roof repair, Edna Smith is to follow this up soon.The Treasurer gave her report.Correspondence was read.It was moved by Dot Thompson and seconded by Edna Smith that we help one of our members.It was moved by Edith Farant and seconded by Alma Marsh that we give a donation to Lois Enright’s niece for her walk against cancer June 7.Edith Farant, co-President, asked for the convener reports.Edna Smith, Agriculture, said not to mow grass closer than three feet from shorelines.She also pointed out that there is an excellent article in the May issue of Reader’s Digest concerning bottled water.Education & Personal Development had no report.Health & Community Living, Dot Thompson, spoke of the declining numbers of registrations in our English schools.Edith Farant thought that there should be a closer look at why young people are leaving school before completion and more encouragement offered to keep them in school.Publici- ty & Awareness, Jean Storry, mentioned reading more articles and letters about the genetically altered seeds being sold by Monsanto.Edith Farant mentioned an abattoir being built in Racine which will cost about three quarters of a million dollars, government run and inspected.Pennies for Friendship were collected.We discussed our Social Afternoons and how costly they are for members.We are going to change the lunch to see if this is acceptable.The next one will be held Thursday, June 26.We touched on the subject of the inter branch competition.Dot Thompson suggested that we forget about it.Alma Marsh showed us some handmade cards that she had received, which looked interesting.Our next meeting will be held on July 8 (one week late because of the holiday) at the Valleyview Hall.Everyone may contribute towards the lunch.The co-President closed the meeting before our return home.What a lovely day!
