The comment about Magnola came Heritage: Cont'd prom Page 1 neighbours will never benefit from the power travelling through the lines over their heads and herds.Hydro-Québec got approval for the line by declaring to the government that it would be used to quickly reconnect the island of Montre al should another disaster like the ice storm occur.Early in September 1998, Nelson and his wife Francine Béliveau and dozens of neighbours received a visit from a bailiff with a first offer from Hydro-Quebec.Nelson told the tribunal he was warned that if he didn’t sign right away he would get a lot less.A few weeks later they got an offer that was reduced by about half.Hydro had already surveyed the land thanks to a Superior Court injunction allowing it to proceed against the wishes of landowners.Nelson said that when he once complained to one Hydro-Québec employee that he didn’t understand why they were proceeding so viciously without providing explanations to landowners, he was told “democracy costs too much.” Later, in the winter of 1999, Hydro-Québec began building abutments while Nelson and some of his neighbours were in Superior Court contesting from Michel Doucet, an analyst with Desjardins Securities who was giving a presentation to prospective investors in Danville last Thursday.Doucet said the $700 million smelter, which ceased operation in 2003, will never restart because the Chinese magnesium producers have substantially lower labour costs that Quebec smelters do not have.But Couture said Falconbridge, which used to be called Noranda, has no intention of shutting down the smelter permanently.But it also does not have plans to restart it anytime soon because the price for magnesium is still “not stable enough for us.” the utility’s right to proceed without their consent.By the time they won the the case, the pylon towered three times higher than their grain silos.By spring, the government had passed a special retroactive law allowing Hydro to string its power cables across the shinning towers that now dotted the landscape.“We knew the law was coming and we couldn’t believe something like that could happen,” he said Tuesday.“If they could demolish our rights, they could do it to anyone." Hydro-Québec lawyer Yves Fréchette, who cross-examined Nelson, said that while the family is trying to prove losses related to the line, the dairy operation is actually thriving with more dairy cows and more milk quotas.While he admits the dairy operation is in better shape today than in 1998, and that he had invested some $260,000, Nelson said most of that is still owed back to the bank and farm credit corporation and that his farm is collateral for the loan.The tribunal also heard testimony from Monique Fournier, the former president of the Coalition du Val St-François that fought the Hydro line and lost.Fournier, a writer who has become good friends with the Nelson family, said the family was deeply affected by the expropriation.Fournier said she was surprised and im- The smelter was built in 2000 by then-Noranda and tasked to extract magnesium ore from the mountains of waste asbestos tailings created by the Jeffrey open-pit mine.But in 2003, Noranda officials anounced that magnesium being produced by China was cheaper and ceased operations.laying off close to 350 workers.The news chocked the local economy, which was already realing from years of depressed demand for asbestos fibre.Couture said the Magnola smelter will remain in mothballs until Falconbridge can decide on its future.“We are still monitoring the situa- PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL y?®** m-iM' Doug Nelson said that if Hydro could demolish his rights, they could do it to anyone.pressed by the deep affection Nelson had for his land.She recalled him showing her a large tree nicknamed Big Bill and the forest that his father and grandfather would not touch in case the bam burned down one day and they had to rebuild.Fournier said that Béliveau cried a lot during that period and that the Nelson children were confused by the emotional stress their parents were going through.She said Nelson’s late father Billy was tion," he said.“We agree that China is a major factor in the future production of magnesium.But we also know that China could face future electricity shortages if its economy expands that much more.“Magnesium production requires a lot of electricity and in some parts of China now, there is a dearth of electricity.That is something Quebec does not have a problem with.” Just over a year ago, Noranda tried to sell most of its mining operations, including Magnola, to a state-owned Chinese metal firm.But the deal fell through within months when talks broke down over a sale price.also bewildered.“He once asked me: ‘How is this possible.I though this was my land.’" On Tuesday, the tribunal also heard from Townships real estate evaluator Gilles Labrecque, who testified that the land values of homes within a short distance of the lines had smaller increases in value than others close by that did not have visual contact with the lines.His report was criticized by Hydro lawyer Jocelyne Paquette, who pointed out that the report compared small residential properties with a farm.Tribunal chairman Réal Collin also noted the report was of little value.Earlier in the day, Gertler attempted to argue that the farmer and his family were pressured into signing documents without a true understanding of their meaning, but the tribunal had already ruled that the documents — although most were in French — were clear and that Nelson and his father, who has since passed away, had signed.Collin reminded Gertler that whether or not the work was done right or not, he could not argue the validity of the signed contracts.The case continues today with a rebuttal from Hydro-Québec, which presented its case in January.The case, which is being heard at the former town hall in Rock Forest, is scheduled for three more days and is expected to wrap up on Friday.Weather Today: Sunny.Wind becoming northwest 20 km/h early in the afternoon.High 17.UV index 6 or high.Thursday: Sunny.High 13.Friday: Sunny.Low zero.High 12.Saturday: Sunny.Low minus 3.High 15.Ben by Daniel Shelton IfWÆ rMowc*4 MumC O’ ¦> 1W;

haven’t been felt at the pumps in the Townships yet, but it’s only a matter of time.A spike in crude oil trading saw the price of a barrel of oil rise to $72.20 US in London on Tuesday before coming down slightly.Meanwhile, in the U.S.prices hit similar levels to those seen last August after Hurricane Katrina, at about $70.85 US.The rise in prices is being linked to reduced oil stocks in the U.S., supply problems in Nigeria due to political unrest and increasing tensions over Iran’s plans to develop nuclear weapons.A shortage of MTBE, a chemical used to reduce emissions, is also complicating the mix.Prices have risen over $10 US a barrel in the last four weeks.By all indications this latest gas crisis isn’t going to end anytime soon.The summer is quickly approaching, and is the time of year when demand for fuel is highest.Analysts say the price could hit $75 US a barrel.In the Eastern Townships Tuesday gasoline prices ranged between $1.12 and $1.17 a litre, a price attained late last week.Prices will likely begin to climb once again in the next day or two. ¦¦ TMK RECORD Wednesday, April 19, 2006 page 5 Explosion, fire rocks melamine plant in Lac-Mégantic By Maurice Crossfield Production has been halted and two people were injured in an explosion and fire at the Tafisa plant in Lac-Mégantic Monday night.The explosion took place at about 10 p.m.at the plant, located at 4660 Villeneuve.The fire that followed spread quickly, and kept firefighters scrambling to keep up.“For the moment we believe it was some chemical products that overheated and then exploded,” said Sûreté du Québec spokesman Const.Louis-Philippe Ruel.“There has been nothing to indicate a criminal fire.” The explosion was strong enough to be felt through most of the town.Two employees were injured in the blast.Taken to hospital, one was released Tuesday while the other remains in intensive care, according to a press release issued by Tafisa on Tuesday afternoon.At one point the fire was advancing toward a container filled with some 2,000 litres of propane.The SQbegan to evacuate a 1.6 km area around the plant, but the firefighters managed to stop the advance of the flames and eliminate the risk of a second .major explosion.The few people who had been evacuated in the night were then allowed to return to their homes.Efforts to put out the fire continued throughout the night.By Tuesday morning firefighters were still hosing down the embers.Tafisa is a major international manufacturer of particle board and melamine.Its Lac-Mégantic plant is the largest of its kind in North America.Louis Brassard, president and director general of Tafisa, said all production at the plant has been halted while managers assess the damages.He said a section of the plant sustained important damage.The Lac-Mégantic fire department will be handling the investigation into the causes of the fire.Waterloo watershed AGM set for April 21 Les amis du bassin versant du lac

irecord; Community Forum Better monitoring calms international fears about mad cow disease The discovery of a case of mad cow disease in British Columbia is troubling, but also reassuring.First, the troubling part: Any discovery of mad cow disease is disquieting, given that the first case, discovered on an Alberta farm in 2003, led to our trading partners imposing a ban on imports of Canadian beef, a ban that cost the industry some $7 billion.One could argue that the B.C.case is still more troubling given that the infected cow, a six-year-old Holstein from the Fraser Valley, was born after the implementation of a 1997 ban on feeding cows protein supplements derived from other bovine species.However, given that mad cow disease can be passed on by as little as one milligram of contaminated feed, it’s not entirely surprising that the odd case of the disease would show up here or there.Ideally, we would prefer a mad cow free world, but that’s not likely to become a reality for some time.Nevertheless, there is much that is reassuring about this case.The sick cow was discovered thanks to sophisticated surveillance measures which have included the testing of more than 100,000 cattle since the first outbreak in 2003.Instead of focusing on ensuring that no cow ever comes down with the disease, these surveillance systems operate to prevent any contaminated meat from entering the human food chain.This seems to have worked: Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials confirm that since the cow was discovered early, it doesn't represent a threat to Canadian beef products.Further, investigators are now compiling a list of “animals of concern,” including the subject cow’s two offspring, which will be killed and tested for presence of the disease.Investigators are also tracing animals that might have been exposed to the same feed as the infected cow.All of these measures seem to have had a calming effect on the international beef industry.The United States Department of Agriculture agreed to send an animal health expert to Canada to monitor the situation, but in contrast to the hysterical response in 2003, the USDA’s Mike Johanns issued a statement saying that “based on the information currently available, I do not anticipate a change in the status of our trade.” Similarly.Japan, which is dealing with its own suspected case of mad cow disease, has not made any suggestions that it’s considering closing its borders to Canadian beef.These reactions suggest that the world has become more mature in its attitude toward the disease, and for good reason.After all, while we can’t entirely eradicate all diseases in cows, we do know how to prevent the beef from those cows from going to market.Clearly, Canada is taking the necessary steps to ensure that all of our beef meets the appropriate standards.The discovery of one case of mad cow is bad news for that cow, but it shouldn’t be devastating news for the entire industry.—CanWest News

What’s in a word?Sometimes billions of dollars, as we can see from the way the label “organic” is being used to market food these days.When consumers see “organic” stamped on a package, they instinctively make a host of inferences.The food is assumed to be healthier than non-or-ganic products, supposedly because the chicken or the cauliflower was not exposed to chemicals before reaching the store shelf.“Organic” invokes images of fresh air, pure soil and family farms.Organic food awakens nostalgia for a romantic agrarian past — bountiful countrysides where the sun shines and a gentle warm rain falls at night, nourishing all foodstuffs, which were uniformly good to eat, not just uniform.Unfortunately for the romantics among us, “organic” now appears to have become just another marketing vehicle.Organic foods carry a certain cachet, allowing consumers to make a political statement when they’re out grocery shopping.The sticker “organic” has become what sociologists might call a signifier of virtuous behaviour.People buy organic not so much because they really know what the word means, but because they want to think of themselves as the kind of people who buy organic.Organic foods can be expensive, but people are always prepared to pay dearly when it comes to investing in self-image.But words are malleable.Can you call a chicken that has eaten only untreated corn “organic” even if it has spent most of its time indoors crowded with hundreds of other birds?Fossil fuels form the basis of some synthetic fertilizers, but aren’t they de rived from decaying plant matter?Are they organic?What about phosphate fertilizers, some of which are formed from bird guano?If those birds had been eating mercury-laden fish, is what they produce “organic” and, secondly, is it good for the food chain?Aging baby-boomers, and others in an increasingly health-conscious society, are always looking for an edge, and organic food, as a symbol of clean living, presents itself as one.No wonder big corporations, from Coca-Cola to Kraft Foods, are buying up pieces of this relatively new industry.Wal-Mart is hoping to become a leading purveyor of organic foods.Not surprisingly, consumers who identify as socially progressive and who associate “organic” with locally produced food are not thrilled that the men in suits are moving in.The commercialization of organic food at the hands of big business will put pressure on smaller farmers seeking to maintain their piece of the market.Many smaller organic operations will be forced either to get bigger or accept takeovers, a trend that has already happened across the the farming sector generally.There could still remain a few friendly farmers selling their organic produce at local markets, but it will be hard for them to make decent livings.Food labels have always been controversial.“Mild” cigarettes still aren’t good for you.“Lite" desserts still will make you fat.And that organic granola bar you just ate might have been produced by General Mills, the same company that makes Hamburger Helper.It takes more than eating organic to save the world, or to stay healthy, for that matter.—CanWest News irecord: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 page 7 Living on the open road is not always fun and games If you are getting tired of reading all about our breathtaking ocean and mountain views as we travel through California, this week’s column should serve as a good reality check.Rather than expand on another paradise-like destination, 1 decided it was time to reveal a different side of our North American oddessy.It has to do with the peeves and irritants that go with our roving life.Now that we are closing in our fifth month, let me assure you that life on the road isn’t always fun and games.Leaving, family, community, and possessions to head into the unknown in an RV hardly means that our daily lifestyle is one continuous holiday.We face the same challenges and problems as we do when we are off the road.We still have to put up with weir-does, do grocery shopping, cleaning and wash the ever-present pile of laundry, and not always in the cleanest laundromats.As for our expenses, there are many more to take care of on the road than back home.Let me begin with our motorhome.Yesrby now you know all about the advantages of traveling in a recreational vehicle that is compact, economical and has all the conveniences of home — I covered the subject ad nauseum.However there is another reality that is just as important.Imagine, living in 150 square feet or less, 12-20 hours a day, seven days a week for almost six months in a row.Compare that to the average size of a house in Canada which is approximately 1,800 square feet.Not being trained astronauts, that presents special challenges.The lack of storage space is only a small part of the problem.For one, small living spaces can actually be harder to keep clean than large ones.Unlike in a large house, when you travel in a small RV every dirty dish, empty glass or bottle left on the kitchen counter or table, becomes proportionally a big mess because it stares you in the face.Just as important, when two adults live in such close quarters over an extended period and I don’t care whether they are friends or spouses (or, hopefully both) it has the effect of magnifying Henry R.Keyserlingk their annoying habits and irritating mannerisms.The fact that Madeleine and I are so much alike doesn’t make it any easier.Throw in prolonged bad weather or a medical setback and life on the road in such confined quarters can become mighty unpleasant.As often as we are asked _________ how we do it, our answers are pretty much the same.We try to fall back on our sense of humor and remember that we are doing a trip of a lifetime, not living in our rig for a lifetime.Driving as much as we do on steep narrow mountain roads as well as navigating around hairpin corners on seaside cliffs means that we can’t always notice the spectacular sights.Putting up with congested traffic on hectic freeways, construction delays, near-acci-dents, badly kept roads and getting lost are also part of RVing.While it is true we can pull over after a long day, hop in the back have a bite to heat, relax or sleep, remember, we still have to find a safe place to spend the night.It would be wrong to assume that each one of our stopovers is at a quaint village or a beautifiil coastal community with panoramic views.On a strict statistical basis, this would be an impossible achievement.By the time we return home from Alaska in mid-May we’ll have travelled close to 8,000 miles and stopped off at approximately 60 different RV, county and state parks.Another 20 nights will have been spent at truck stops and Wal-Marts.The fact that we pay anywhere between $18 and $43 US per night doesn’t mean we are guaranteed a decent campground with a comfortable site.Because of the size of our rig we are generally assigned to smaller sites and yet we still pay the same rates as the big pushers which occupy pull-throughs with double the amount of space.Sure, we’ve stayed at resort style parks with every possible service but we’ve also been in campgrounds that made us think we were sitting in the middle of a football stadium parking, lot.Some were the tops, others were rid- Letters to The Editor Right choice

they are decent, some are also outright dirty, cold and where they take “hours’’ to warm up.You drop a quarter and the water only turns hot when the time runs out.Depending on the direction of the wind and the amount of rain, there are times when the septic whiffs drifting in the campground are strong enough to neutralize the scent of the pine and salty sea spray.Moreso this year than ever, it is not unusual to find vagrants or homeless people in state and county parks.Aside the ones who drift in to use the public washrooms, the “luckier" ones are living in tents, vans or rusty and dilapidated rigs.So what is my point?While we still find traveling on the open road for long periods far more interesting and affordable than renting motel rooms or travelling from hotel to hotel, it is obviously not a lifestyle for everyone.The next time I describe another one of our seaside breathtaking stopovers, just remember that getting there was not necessarily all fun and games.Comments:

in Togo live with HIV, hut do not have the financial means to get tested, or get to the hospital for treatment.In some villages, such as Zooti-Glopé, the local hospital offers free HIV testing and consulting through Global Fund.Kim Simard was born in Sherbrooke and raised in Stanstead.This article is a follow-up to a piece written last fall when she embarked on a volunteer placement in Togo, West Africa.The former Champlain College student and Concordia graduate is back with a new perspective which she intends to share through the many stories obtained from her experience overseas in the fight against poverty and HIV/AIDS.Last October I set out on an adventure.Canadian Crossroads International (CCI) was sending me to logo to do a participatory media project.I knew what I was sent to do, but how it was to be accomplished depended on everyone involved, due to its participatory nature.This was intriguing to me, and I was certain at that moment that very few experiences would be comparable to this one.Although the term participatory media was new to me, as was West Africa, I arrived prepared for the challenge.Our team was comprised of members from the Togolese organization RKAILD, CCI and me.Our objective was to initiate a media project made by the people for the people addressing HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination.Our hope was that this course of action would also empower the individuals involved.It turns out my counterparts and I were lucky, because the community we worked with was ripe to share their voices.As a result, empowerment came effortlessly and our role was clear: Ensure that their message is heard.By mid-November 2005 our team had chosen to work with the community of Zooti-Glopé.Under a string of mango trees we sat and talked with the village chief along with members of a villagers’ health committee.Our consultations led us to realize that many recognized that stigma and discrimination tied with HIV/AIDS was a problem, but were unsure how to address or identify the issues.When my counterpart asked if there were any people living with HIV in the community, many at the meeting shrugged.Unable to say for sure, the chief explained that many do live with HIV, but do not have the financial means to get tested, or get to the hospital (which is 50 kilometres away) for treatment.According to those at the meeting, some people living with HIV/AIDS were also fearful of family desertion, and were therefore guarded about revealing their status.What we found was that many people living with HIV/AIDS believed there was no use in knowing their status because the treatment was unattainable and being open about it, taboo.During my placement in Togo, the health committee’s president transported a young man to the hospital on his bicycle.The man had been sick for a while, and was encouraged to get tested for HIV.A 50-km trek in the heat meant that they were exhausted upon arrival.He tested positive, and died weeks later from severe diarrhea which his immune system could not fight.He was 26 years old.Recognizing that getting to the hospital from the surrounding villages was simply unrealistic for most, the committee began pushing for some form of intervention.Extreme poverty, and unsubsidized treatment and testing are the cause of many haunting cases of people dying, often very young, sometimes leaving children behind.Zooti-Glopé is a village of around 600 inhabitants that live without electricity or running water.Depending on farming and local market trade for any form of income, many barely get by.The situation is harsh and it was only halfway through my placement that the only hospital in the area began offering free HIV testing and consulting through Global Fund.Subsidized prices on antiretroviral (ARV) medication and treatment are presently offered, but many believe this intervention to be temporary, and do not trust the government’s handling of the funds.Knowing the situation, and recognizing that obstacles would be abundant throughout the development of this project, our team (now including members of the villagers’ health committee) came up with a loose plan to address the issues through the radio.Our main goal was to use the radio to reflect on the struggles people living with HIV/AIDS may experience and brainstorm about possible solutions.Our group decided to do a series of workshops with an assembly of young seamstress apprentices concerning issues of stigma and discrimination ^vith-in their community.We aimed to eventually work with these youth to create audio sketches depicting a series of situations where HIV/AIDS- related stigma was the main theme.Our workshops required a lot of effort.Originally constructed to define stigma and discrimination, our team quickly became conscious of the fact that there is no word to translate those terms in the local dialect.Eventually, my counterparts came up with a strategy to describe stigma and discrimination through examples.After using these examples, my jaw dropped when we were asked questions like: ‘do mosquitoes transmit HIV?’ ‘Can I use the same sponge to wash myself if an HIV positive person has used it already?’ ‘Can we eat at the same table?’ I was abruptly made aware of how isolated this village was, and how little concrete information about HIV transmission was communicated to them.We answered those questions and posed some our own, attempting to get a better idea of the local context in which we were involved.We discovered that women in that village are at high risk of contracting HIV because they are responsible for touring the local markets, staying overnight in many different places.Many people also knew that unprotected sex could pose a risk for HIV infection, but were unaware how to get condoms, as the local market did not sell them.Many mothers were unaware that the breast milk of an HIV positive carrier could infect the baby being breast fed.See Togo/HIV, Page 11

By Susan Kirwin A drug currently prescribed for osteoporosis was found to decrease the risk of breast cancer by 50 per cent in post-menopausal women, with fewer side-effects than the current breast cancer drug, tamoxifen.In one of the largest breast cancer prevention trials ever, almost 20,000 women over five years took either tamoxifen, taken to prevent breast cancer, or raloxifene, usually prescribed for osteoporosis.Both drugs were found to reduce the risk of breast cancer by half.However, raloxifene was found to have a lower rate of serious adverse effects.Women in the raloxifene group developed 36 per cent fewer uterine cancers during the trial and 29 per cent fewer blood clots in the lungs or major veins.Participants also showed a decrease in cataracts and cataract surgeries.But raloxifene doesn’t have an effect on invasive cancers.Tamoxifen reduces the incidence of invasive cancers by half.But it’s known for increasing the risk of uterine cancer by two or three times compared to a women who doesn’t use the drug.Other side-effects of tamoxifen include strokes, cataracts and menopause-like symptoms.Raloxifene can cause blood clots, menopauselike symptoms, joint pain and leg cramps.Tamoxifen has been used for over 30 years to treat breast cancer, and has been used to prevent breast cancer for high risk patients since 1998.“It’s good news for women that we now have a second drug to help prevent breast cancer with fewer side-effects,” said Dr.Sandra Messner, medical co-ordinator, clinical breast services, preventative oncology at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital and the Women’s College Hospital.Researchers at the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project conducted the study of tamoxifen and raloxifene across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, with funding primarily from the National Cancer Institute, the U.S.government’s main agency for cancer research.Four Toronto hospitals and 167 Toronto-area women participated in the study.All of the women who participated in the trial had gone through menopause and were at least 35.They also had to have an increased risk of breast cancer, through such factors as family history, or a biopsy showing abnormal cells in the breast.Two of Diana Boekema’s sisters are breast cancer survivors and she took a placebo pill during a tamoxifen study 12 years ago, making her eligible for the latest study.She learned Monday that the drug she’d been taking for the last five years was raloxifene.“I would have been happy had I been on tamoxifen, but my preference would have been raloxifene because there aren’t as many side-effects," said Boekema, 61, from Toronto.Josephine Grayson, 56, from Toronto, also participated in the drug trial.“I could go check, check, check, when looking at a list of risk factors for breast cancer,” said Grayson, whose mother died of breast cancer.Grayson had a biopsy showing abnormal cells that are known to be a precurser to breast cancer and she had her first baby when she was 36, also a risk factor.Grayson found out she’d been taking tamoxifen, and said she felt pretty good about the results of the study.The main side-effects she experienced were hot flashes.Raloxifene won’t replace tamoxifen as the benefits of raloxifene have only been tested on postmenopausal women.As well, women who’ve had hysterectomies aren’t at risk to develop uterine cancer.Participants taking tamoxifen who’ve not completed their five-year term with the drug will have the option to switch to raloxifene but it won’t be mandatory.“We feel raloxifene is a winner to move forward with future trials under review,” said Dr.Lawrence Wickerham, NSABP associate chairman and the study’s protocol officer.“We were all convinced it would work, but we didn’t have the proof,” said Messner, who said it shouldn’t be too long before raloxifene will be prescribed to prevent breast cancer in Canada.The next step will be to compare raloxifene with aromatase inhibitors, which reduce the amount of estrogen in the body.Drugs like tamoxifen block a tumor’s ability to use estrogen.—Can West News Service SRC: ConTd from Page 9 Sam Solomon, Ialenti, Hughes and Yolanda Fas-ciano proudly accepted their Mitres alongside Limpert, who received top Mitre honours with the Julia Bradshaw Award.Dean of student affairs Bruce Stevenson announced the Purple Letter Awards.These awards are given to individuals who have had a profound impact on the community of Lennoxville.This year Bernardo, Alex Besant, Chris Carlyle, Desrosiers, Julie Fredette, Mark Gravely, Jenna Roussy, Sam Saintonge, and Mark Stephens were also honored.The evening gave students the chance to grade their teachers, and even “pick the good ones".Professor Michael Teed.Lisa Taylor, Katsunori Hizawa, Stephen Yezerniac.and Claude Charpentier were chosen for their sincerity, dedication, and honest natures.Ron Yeats accepted the Outstanding Department Award for chemistry and Linda Leblanc was acknowledged for Outstanding Academic Support.Hughes thanked and awarded Valerie Rothlin with the SRC Merit before Ialenti began swearing in next year’s SRC representatives.Kevin Mailloux, Jocelyn Molyneux, Sarah Benn, Erin Shackell and Dan Fecquet raised their right hands and solemnly vowed to carry out the SRC mission in front of an encouraging crowd.Once all sworn in, Mailloux awarded Gravely with the Michel Fontaine Experience Award for, “symbolizing what Bishop’s is all about.” Before inviting students and spectators to stay for an evening of music, Ialenti took the opportunity to bid farewell.“A night like this touches me deeply," stated the graduating president.“I fulfilled a dream.I believe that coming from a big city, as I did, this small university brought me everything I wished for.This school has had a profound change in my life.One that I will not soon forget.” Wednesday, April 19, 2006 pagb 11 RECORD Togo/HIV: Cont'd from Page 8 We later discovered that other forms of milk were simply unaffordable.Our inquiries were met with answers that depicted a poverty-stricken community, unable to get what they needed to protect themselves.The one thing we all knew could be offered, however, was information.How do you compose a message that depicts a reality known only to the members of the village?Well, we left it in the hands of those who knew the community best: The villagers’ committee.Engaged in a month-long process of interviews with various members of the community, developing scenarios portraying events that were close to home, the nine committee members worked extremely hard.What I found during this stage is that our presence became less and less important.Eventually understanding that the committee was very well equipped to continue independently, my counterparts and I became network builders, making deals with the local radio stations, and working out details with the hospital to initiate a mobile-clinic activity.Once the sketches were created, an event was held to present them.The topics addressed were extremely pertinent to the village’s context.Themes of exclusion at dinner tables, youth discriminating against skinny peers and untrained locals performing medical procedures for free were portrayed in order to educate spectators about stigma and discrimination and the ways of prevention and treatment.Most sketches ended in the characters embracing those living with HIV, supporting and understanding their needs.Delegated members of the committee recorded the event.At a certain moment, a shift occurred within the group dynamic.When community members posed questions.REAlLD’s responses were no longer necessary, the committee had them covered.They tackled several difficult concerns about HIV with confidence and enlightenment, proving to those present that they had the skills to continue spreading awareness and provoke -community action.The radio broadcast of these sketches was later presented.Many in the surrounding communities were tuned in, and several neighbouring chiefs quickly requested a similar project be conducted in their villages.A mobile-clinic day was also initiated, where members of the main hospital travelled to Zooti-Glopé to carry out a day of counselling and HIV testing.One hundred twenty-six people were tested that day, including the chief and other village leaders.For those who were tested positive and are interested, REAILD will follow their progress and they will eventually become involved in a new community initiative that will reinforce the progress already made.Possible microcredit projects with HIV positive members are also on the horizon.The committee members are working to build a condom sales booth, and plan to involve their community in many awareness-building activities to come.I have no doubt that the work we did in Togo as a team made an impact.I know that my role in this was important, as was every person’s role.Strength can be found by collaborating with our neighbours.We saw it work on a small scale in Zooti-Glopé, and on a larger scale through international partnership and exchange.If I told you this experience changed me, that would be putting it very lightly.Please check out CGI’s Web site for information about your involvement — www.cciorg.ca.Email: classad @ sherbrookerecord.com 24 hours a day, 7 days a

season opener MONTREAL IMPACT The Impact completed a perfect pre-season by defeating the Lac St-Louis Lakers 5-0.Montreal opens season Sunday in Miami By Mike Hickey Special to The Record It has been a good spring for the Montreal Impact with a lot more positives than negatives.The soccer club is currently preparing to win its second league title in three years.The team not only has the nucleus returning form last season’s regular season champions, but also signed several key free agents during the off-season to bolster its offensive punch.The Impact flew to Florida Tuesday to put the final touches on the 2006 training camp and prepare for its season opener against Miami F.C Sunday at 4 p.m.The Impact will train at the Sunrise Hilton Sports Complex in Fort Lauderdale in a climate that is more suitable than the weather they experienced during Easter Weekend in Montreal.The Impact will play their first four league games on the road but will then benefit from some home cooking as they play eight home games over a short period.Montreal’s 13th home opener at the Claude-Robillard Sports Complex will take place May 21 at 4 p.m.against the Minnesota Thunder.That contest was supposed to be the club’s final home opener at Claude-Robillard but plans to build a state-of-the-art soccer facility in the Technoparc area of Montreal has been put on hold — jeopardizing its ability to be ready for the home opener in 2007.Montreal Impact president Joey Sa-puto, who is spearheading the $15-mil-lion, privately funded stadium project, made the announcement Tuesday.“My family is committed to giving back to the community and our com- mitment to build a new soccer complex is firm,” said Saputo.“But we were recently approached by the Olympic Installations Board in order to examine the possibility of moving the project to the Olympic Park.After considerable thought, we have decided to take the time to explore that option, always in the interest of better serving the future of soccer in Quebec.” The Saputo family is not only the driving force behind the resurgence of professional soccer in Montreal but has also served as a catalyst in the development of soccer in the province.The fact that the Saputo clan undertook this project without the assistance of public funds demonstrate its commitment to giving back to the community.The soccer complex, which will include Saputo Stadium as well as training facilities, will be the new home of the Impact.“However, we are not saying no to the Technoparc,” added Saputo.“It’s more a question of taking the necessary time to do what’s best for soccer.We have the responsibility to get the most out of our investment, to ensure the future of soccer in Quebec.We foresee taking a decision regarding the final location of the new complex within a few months.” The stadium, which was originally planned to open in time for the Impact’s 2007 season, was also to host the Youth World Championships next year.Montreal is one of six host cities for the event.Montreal’s involvement in the championship is not jeopardized even if the new building will not be ready in time.“I’m also a member of the organizing committee and an alternate site has already been identified for Youth World Championship games to be played in Montreal,” noted Saputo.Prior to their departure south, the Impact completed a perfect pre-season by defeating the Lac St-Louis Lakers senior team 5-0 on Saturday afternoon.Forward Mauricio Salles, one of the Impact’s new acquisitions, scored two goals in the first half while defender Gabriel Gervais, midfielders Antonio Ribeiro and Daniel Antoniuk added single goals.Antoniuk’s goal in the second half gave him four goals in as many games making him the team’s leading goal-scorer in preseason play.Although the Impact have stressed improving their offensive production in the upcoming year, they continue to be extremely stingy at the defensive end.Goalkeepers Greg Sutton and Andrew Weber shared the shutout in Saturday’s contest, the fourth in as many games since the beginning of training camp.“We played an excellent first half,” said Impact head coach Nick De Santis.“We scored early in the game, which allowed us to have more space on the field.We played well again defensively but it was way better on offence than it was against UQAM.Our midfielders were more involved and it led to some good scoring opportunities.“Overall, I’m satisfied with what we’ve done in pre-season games.Victories are not very important for me during camp.I’m looking more in terms of team progression and yes, we have improved over the last two weeks.We still have one week of training camp in Florida to be sharp and ready for the first game of the season.” “We were very focused today and I think we played our best game,” said Gervais.“We saw a constant progression of the team since the beginning of camp and that’s positive.For the moment, we’re not yet thinking about the first game of the season, but once we will start training in Florida we will concentrate on the game against Florida." The team also announced that forward Rachid Madkour has been released.Diabetes ü“ EPIDEMIC REACT NOW!
