were “enormous,” added Marcoux over the phone.At the time, his average speed was eight miles per hour.Normally, he averages between 12 and 15 mph or 20 to 25 km per hour.Nevertheless, hills don’t

City to find $6 million plus for more firefighters Fire service improvements By Jen Young Sherbrooke city’s new Fire Safety Cover rlan outlines a number of im-ÿ provements to fire services, but JL no one seems to know where the extra $6 million and then some is coming from for permanent full-time firefighters’ salaries.“It’s clear that six million is a significant increase in the budget, but when it comes to calculating the annual budget it’s not just one element that is calculated,” said city councillor Serge Paquin, who is charged with public safety issues.“Every year, each department (and service) sees an increase, but it also sees decreases.The budget will be calculated, usually in the beginning of Decem- ber.We have nine years to work this out.” The plan that was discussed for the fourth and final time last Wednesday night at the Lennoxville Community Centre, promises increased response time, insurance rebates for businesses, better equipped and trained firefighters for Sherbrooke residents, but it also sports a hefty price tag.Sherbrooke fire department’s interim director Gaétan Drouin sard bringing stations up to code and purchasing equipment would cost over an estimated $13 million.This year the department had a budget of $12.9 million, so the plan will not drain or stress the annual budget too much, but the additional $6 million for salaries definitely puts the service in the red.As is the case with public services, the taxpayer carries the burden, but how much residents will need to pitch in has not yet been determined.“I can’t say yes or no at this point,” Paquin says.“This is not a simple question.There are surpluses from different departments that need to be taken into account.Just look at the snow removal.Two thousand and seven was a very expensive year, but next year it may not be.“Everything needs to be adjusted accordingly.The entire financial structure will need to be analyzed,” Paquin said.JEN YOUNG Sherbrooke Fire Department Division Chiefs Remi Beaulieu and Daniel Waite.He concluded by saying that he does not foresee any extravagant impact on tax bills, and that residents will have access to a quicker and better firefighting service come 2016 when the Plan is completely implemented.Volunteer firefighters aren’t worried Lenn Association lives on ByJen Young .«he long-standing tradition of sacrificing for your community as a volunteer firefighter is on the verge of extinction, and the implementation of Sherbrooke’s Fire Safety Cover Plan will seal the deal in the year 2016.But where will all these valued volunteers go?At least those who chose not to give up their day jobs and so cannot become full-time fire department employees?Lennoxville Volunteer Firefighter Association president Gerry McNab said dedicated individuals will always be welcomed with open arms.In fact, so will anyone who finds volunteering and their community important enough to support and protect.“The association is incorporated.It's not going anywhere unless it’s members chose to,” said McNab, who has been a Lennoxville firefighter, including part-time, which replaced the word volunteer some months ago, for almost 25 years.“Even though there will be no more volunteer firemen, there will always be the Volunteer Firefighter’s Association.” McNab was one of Lennoxville’s nine firemen out of 14 who took all the training and exams demanded by the Quebec government’s new Fire Safety Cover Plan, but he was also one who has chosen not to apply to become a permanent Sherbrooke firefighter.To date, only four Lennoxville firefighters have been accepted as temporary employees.This means they are replacing permanent firefighters and are on the list to become full-time firefighters for Sherbrooke.Once accepted by the department as temporary, the in-dividuals are stationed throughout Sherbrooke.Firefighters who have spent decades fighting fires in Lennoxville could be stationed anywhere in the city’s eight fire stations."I took all the courses, I did all the training, but I didn’t submit my CV for a position on the department,” said McNab.“Fire fighting is my first love, but I also work for the city (the public works department) and I feel welcome there.They treat me well.I’m going to miss being a firefighter, but the reasons I am choosing not to go ahead I feel are very valid.” McNab, as well as the majority of other firefighters from Lennoxville who are choosing not to become full-time fighters, still have until 2016 to follow what they love to do, as the Samuel-Gratham station is to be the last one converted over.McNab said the association will sur- vive no matter what.“Our goal is to change the constitution,” he said Friday.“We want retired firemen, volunteer firemen, and even community members who want to be associated and help support their community to be able to join.“The association is not going anywhere, unless the members choose for it to.We’ve been here for much longer than the merger in 2002 with Sherbrooke, and hopefully we'll be here for a lot longer.The association and the department are completely different.We are incorporated under that name and that won’t change." The association, traditionally comprised of volunteer firefighters, has spent decades fundraising and supporting the Lennoxville community.In the past they have given hundreds of dollars to local organizations, such as the Lennoxville Elementary School Hot Lunch Program, and the Alexander Galt Regional High School Christmas Basket Campaign.IT’S SUMMERTIME!

The federal government only just reached an out-of-court settlement with the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada, ending the ftanocophone group’s legal battle to re-establish the original Court Challenges Program — a legal battle Fraser’s office intervened in.The program to support linguistic rights was one of many programs last week to receive parts of a billion dollar federal investment aimed at linguistic duality across the country and the vitality of official-language minority communities.The minister of Canadian Heritage, Status of Women and Official Languages and minister for La Francophonie, Josée Verner, announced the extensive funding last week, to be doled out to 13 departments and federal agencies.“The government.is taking action to promote the vitality of English and French among Canadians across the country,” Verner said.“Our goal is to support the cultural vitality of communities by emphasizing the value of increased knowledge of both the English and French languages and access to services for official-language minority communities.” With the announcement, the government is delivering on its commitment outlined in the 2008 budget and October 2007 throne speech.The Roadmap for Linguistic Duality in Canada 2008-2013: Acting for the Future maintains or enhances existing programs targeting in five main areas: health, justice, immigration, economic development, and arts and culture.Some new perks to come from the announcement mean that Canadians will have free access to the Government of Canada Language Portal, while a national translation program for book publishing will also be implemented to increase the availability of books in both languages.Another new initiative to be launched in Ottawa is the Cultural Development Fund and a Music Showcases for Artists from official language minority communities.That would respond to conclusions drawn from a recent report released by the office of official languages, which suggested local arts and culture in anglophone mwMsmp Please note some products on the June 20th (Iyer contained incorrect savings claims, those savings claims have now been changed

official languages, although he said time will tell how well the investments reach those who need it.“I am relieved to learn that the federal government’s new official languages plan will allow the progress accomplished over the past five years to continue,” Fraser said.“Clearly, it all depends on how the federal institutions and their partners implement this commitment.” Fraser did express concern that the roadmap program did not include a component on the public service, despite making recommendations to that effect.“Barely three weeks ago, I released my annual report, in which I insisted on the importance of strengthening the application of the Official Languages Act within the federal public service and creating a workplace that is conducive to the use of both official languages,” Fraser said.“This aspect is barely mentioned in the Roadmap.” Goldbloom: Cont’d from Page 1 the principal’s search committee.Born in Montreal, Goldbloom attended Harvard University earning

training and employing Cégep de Sherbrooke Technique Policier students to make local waterways as safe and protected as the streets.While they share certain concerns with the S'ûreté du Québec and city police departments, like speeding and proper usage of safety devices, the nautical peacekeepers can slap you with a fine for doing anything that might cause zebra mussels.“This year we have employed six (nautical patrollers), and we have three vessels,” said MRC director general Guy Jauron.“The patrollers stay for three years and each year we hire two new employees.After this they go on to become police officers (in cars, not boats).They’ve received their training and have been on the lakes for the past two weeks now.Two vessels (two patrollers in each) patrol Lake Memphremagog, and two patrollers in one vessel cover Lake Mas-sawippi, Lake Lovering, and Lake Magog.They spend most of their time on Lake Massawippi and about 25 per cent of the time on the other lakes.” Upon being accepted, the patrollers are provided with vigorous training given by the MRC.They follow a week-long course in how to properly administer fines.''it'##' nil The patrollers have the authority to administer fines to boaters who do not comply with competency, speed, or zebra-mussel laws, but they do not have the power to pull over drunken drivers.That, as Jauron says, is solely a police department matter.The water watchers' principal roles are to carry out federal laws, like having obligatory safety equipment on board.Should the lifejackets, or spotters not be in use, the boat owner is subject to a $100 to $250 fine.They are also expected to uphold municipal by-laws pertaining to zebra mussels, especially on Lake Massawippi and Lake Memphremagog.Jauron said this year’s wakeboarding by-laws, which were passed and then revoked shortly after, will see the patrollers and the Massawippi Boaters Association working together.“Boaters are expected to comply with One of six patrol boats.the association’s code of conduct.No fines will be given out but people doing wakeboarding will have to abide by the rules in place.Patrollers will help notify boaters this year on what the code is, and they will tell boaters that if they don’t they may be subject to heavy mu- COURTESY nicipal fines, or even banning of the sport next year,” said Jauron.The patrollers are a service created by the MRC and paid for by each municipality that shares usage of the waterways.Chambly woman is killed Vehicle hits moose Chambly woman died Sunday, after the vehicle she was riding in hit a

the vehicle escaped with minor injuries.The circumstances of the accident are unknown as of yet, but the Sûreté du Québec is investigating.Brief St.Jean Baptiste Day The Youville residence in Sherbrooke continues a 20-year-old tradition Tuesday of celebrating St.Jean Baptiste Day with neighbours and friends in its gardens “It’s been a very long time that we (the hospital and centre) have

Monday, June 23, 2008 page 7 Challenges of growing your own Trend toward growing own seed In today’s high priced world, more people are opting for backyard gardens.Nothing beats walking out yur door and picking salad greens, cucumbers, radishes and a few tomatoes for our dinner.We not only save in the money these items would of cost us if bought in a grocery store, we save the dollars that would have been spent to drive to buy them.We are seeing more people learning to garden who never ever thought this past time would be for them.Often these novice green thumbs have no idea that where a person buys seeds from and what type of seed they buy can make a significant difference in what they grow for years to come.Seasoned gardeners know that many of our heirloom seeds are quickly disappear! ng as major seed companies promote the costlier hybrid varieties.Even trusted seed companies are disappearing as Monsanto buys them up, and puts them out of business.There is nothing better for big business than killing the competition.The biggest trend with experienced gardeners is learning to grow their own seed and teaching others to do the same.If you think this sounds easy, you’re wrong.There can be many factors that can make producing seed a challenge, especially to a beginner.Each species of plant develops seed differently, so you first have to understand what plant family you are dealing with, and then you have to take your location into consideration.No matter what part of the world people live in there are specialized problems to bringing your vegetables along far enough to produce seed.In the south, where the gardens are near finished growing as we begin to plant ours, the plants may have trouble continuing on to seed production as the intense heat cooks their roots.Here in the north, the biggest problem is our short growing season, and in microclimates like mine, an extremely short season.Some plants only produce seed when the root survives the winter and grows a second year; this type of plant is often difficult to protect enough to survive temperatures that drop to minus C.Even fast growing lettuce, which is not a problem bringing to seed in southern parts of Quebec, has such a difficult time here, that I place the plants that 1 desire seed from into my greenhouse.If you don’t have a greenhouse you can designate a small section of your garden in late August, build a small frame and cover with plastic, keeping the ends open so it does not heat up too much on warm days, and closing it up at night.This process should push those lettuce a little further along giving them enough time by end of September to make lots of seed.Then there’s the problem with selecting the right kind of seed to produce copies of.You apparently tasted and like the vegetable in question and want that variety again, but you must know which types will give you what you ate, and which might produce something totally different.Yes, some seed can do this, as they had two parents with different traits.Some commercial grower decided he wanted one quality that one parent offered and one from the another, talcing the genes of both and splicing them together you get a totally new plant called a hybrid.These seeds are being more and more promoted as time goes by, and people can actually make more money off these because if ^ettuce seeds pods.you save the seeds and try to reproduce them you usually wind up with something totally different and not what you wanted.Meaning, if you want that same delicious veggie a second year you will run back to the company and buy more high priced seeds.Last year’s experience Last year, 2007 was my year to learn to grow many types of seed.Having gar-denened for over 40 years growing tomato, cucumber, sweet and hot pepper seeds and a few others was common for me, but I wanted to learn to produce my own beet, carrot, broccoli, and other types of vegetable seeds.Knowing how hard it is to protect vegetable roots over a cold winter and knowing that broccoli and most plants from the cabbage family produce seed in their second year.I decided to start a broccoli in the greenhouse and see if by not picking any of it, the plant might produce seed.It made a big beautiful head, and continued to send out sprouts, but as yummy as they looked they were left alone.Within a few weeks they started to flower, the first step in making seeds.So I thought, “This won’t be as long as I thought”.To my surprise even with the early seedpods, the seeds were not ready for picking until Dec.5.I really wondered if any of those seeds would produce but out there in my garden right now are Lettuce seeds.about 30 lovely broccoli plants, the results of that one plant.Plus I have enough seeds left over to share with others or plant for the next five years.My collard greens kept producing these big delicious leaves, but never sent up a seed stalk, so in the fall I selected a few healthy plants and mulched them heavily in the hopes that this would stop the root system from freezing.This spring I was delighted to see these roots had made it and were growing.The same for my carrots, beets, Swiss chard and Italian chicory.The selected COURTESY COURTESY plants have all come back and are growing the second year.You don’t need to keep many of each kind you want to grow to seed - one good carrot or beet will produce hundreds of seeds.1 kept four of each, then marked each plant with a stick and label so that the next season I know this vegetable is not for eating, but for seed.And most importantly, pick the best of the best; that’s your biggest, most perfect carrot because those are the genes that you want to keep passing down over the years.Anna May Kinney page 8 Monday, June 23, 2008 I ¦THF.» RECORD Champlain College .>¦ V- Academic Excellence in Athletics Alexandre Dubois Anna Goldfinch Kyla Marie Hackett Anne Thaler Memorial Award Phillip Hamel Annie Turcotte Memorial Award Yogita Malan Canadian Federation of University Women, Sherbrooke and District Annual Khadijah Taseen CSA Merit Award Tegan Maharaj International Studies Certificates Eryka Desrosiers Pier-Alexandre Fortin Agnes Mager-Grandmaison Tegan Maharaj Yogita Malan Bethany Vanesse Ken Madokoko Memorial Award Kenneth Suitor Richard Berger Memorial Award Bethany Vanasse Student Services Award Kyla Marie Hackett Cindy Taylor Katie Wallace On May 10, Champlain College Lennoxville celebrated the graduating class of 2008.Parents awaiting the graduation parade were entertained by music provided by Emily Fowler.The gowned graduates were piped into the Centennial theatre by Matthew Fowler.Among those present on stage to present the awards were The Chairman of the Board Richard McLernon, General Director Ken Robertson, Director of Studies Stephen Tribble, Campus Director Paul Kaeser, Academic Dean Andrée Lafleur, Manager of the Royal Bank Louise Mathieu, and CFUW representative Wendy King.A beautiful ceremony was followed by a wine and cheese reception accompanied by the jazz combo of Mike Goudreau.Congratulations to our graduates.Academic Medal of the Governor General of Canada Sarah Châtelain Chamberland - 2007 Champlain Regional College Board of Governors’ Merit Award Sarah Châtelain Chamberland - 2007 Royal Bank Award Joannie Guimond-Villeneuve - 2007 Campus Director Merit Award Yogita Malan Potter Award (Awarded eveiy three years to Lennoxville) Emmannuella Gentzoglanis Valedictorian address Mcagan Jones Academic Excellence Awards (For students on the dean's list in 3 of 4 semesters, or at least 4 of 6 semesters for students in technologies) JULIEN ADANT ELIZABETH ALLEN MARIE-JOSÉE BERTEAU JOANNIE BOULIANE-BLA1S MELANIE BOURQUE JOSÉE BRUNEL SABRINA AUDREY CASTONGUAY PIER-ALEXANDRE FORTIN ELIANE FRÉCHETTE-CHAINÉ ERYKA GALLANT DESROSIERS EMMANUELLA GENTZOGLANIS LAUREN GINGRAS ANNA GOLDFINCH SAMANTHA GREY KYLA MARIE HACKETT PHILIPPE HAMEL MEAGAN JONES NICOLAS LANDRY-TOLSZCZUK ADAM LANGLOIS From top left MARIE-CHRISTINE LARIVIÈRE RACHEL LASSENBA JÉRÉMIE LECLERC SAMANTHA LEPOIDEVIN SOPHIE MAILHOT YOGITA MALAN JEAN-PHILIP MALTAIS VALÉRIE MARTIN MARIE MCCOY LYDIA MCELREA-SMITH JENNY MÉNARD ÉRIC MERCIER ANNE-SOPHIE PARENT : Ann Rothfels Suitor, valedictorian Megan Jones and Katie Wallace.JASMINE PARENT PIER-OLMER PERRON STÉPHANIE PLANTE ELIZABETH ROBICHAUD NOÉMIE ROYER MICHAEL STIFFEL DOMINIC ST-LAURENT SHANNON SULLIVAN KHADIJAH TASEEN CINDY TAYLOR AÏDA VALEVICIUS BETHANY VANNASSE University of Toronto National Book Award Cindy Taylor Program Achievement Awards (for graduating student with highest average in program) Health Science Sabrina Audrey Castonguay Khadijah Taseen Pure and Applied Science Meagan Jones Social Science Valerie Martin CALL - Creative Arts Bethany Vanasse CALL - Literature and Languages Pier Alexandre Fortin Fine Arts Kenneth Suitor Liberal Arts (Heather Fisher Memorial Award) Jérémie Leclerc Special Care Counselling Samatha Grey Accounting and Management Technology Tamara Bronson Computer Information Systems Curtis McBurney Subject Achievement Certificates ENGLISH - Khadijah Taseen FRENCH - Dominic St.Laurent Please see Awards on Page 9 ~ ¦¦—THE ¦ ¦ record;
