DUNKIN' DONUTS.DOWNTOWN 70 Wellington St.North SHERBROOKE 569-1445 THE The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Shoot for the moon.Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars, -lestai 85 CENTS Friday, October 22, 1999 Secrets of the past Birth mother can provide vital info on family medical history By Rita Legault Montreal J’ anet Martin is out to solve a few mysteries.She longs to find out what elusive ailment is causing her four-year-old daughter Kerry Goral to suffer.And while seeking the solution to that medical mystery, she also hopes to uncover her long buried roots.Martin, who was born at the Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital in 1964, was given up for adoption when she was less than two weeks old.Her parents, unable to have a baby of their own, were referred to the Rev.John Peacock of Cowansville who had placed the babies of many local unwed mothers up for adoption.Martin and her husband Craig Goral, who live in Montreal, are now seeking medical records from Janet’s birth family hoping the documents contain important clues about their daughter’s undiagnosed condition.Kerry, who attends preschool at Montreal’s Mackay Center for physically disabled children, is of normal intelligence.But the muscular pain she suffers makes it hard for her to keep up with other children.Specialists and her pediatrician fear that Kerry Goral has some sort of neurological disorder.They have ruled out muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy, but there are literally hundreds of other serious medical conditions she could have.A complete family medical history could help pinpoint whether the painful condition is inherited and help determine treatment.At first Martin was simply interested in finding medical records to help her daughter.“Then my curiosity peaked,” she told The Record, adding that she now hopes to locate her birth parents too.The 35-year-old Martin doesn’t remember being told she was adopted.She always knew.Until now, she had never been interested in seeking out her birth parents.But all that has changed.SEE MARTIN, PAGE 5 Twin busts hit jackpot Staff The Brome-Missisquoi detachment of the Quebec Police Force has been busy over the last couple of days, netting nearly a million dollars in illicit drugs.Thursday morning around 6 a.m.officers from the detachment were joined by the Organized Crime squad and the Intervention Squad as they raided an apartment on Giard Street in Brigham.“We had information that there were people armed at the residence,” said QPF spokesman Const.Serge Dubord.“So the Intervention Squad went in first to secure the scene.” Inside the apartment two men were found.One was sleeping near the door, and a loaded handgun was found nearby.The second man was asleep in a bedroom.Inside the apartment the police found 45 kilos of dried marijuana and 25 grams of crack cocaine.Police estimate the value of the seized drugs at about $700,000.Also seized was an array of dryers, scales and other equipment used to prepare the marijuana for the market.“It was a regular small business,” Dubord said.SEE TWIN BUSTS, PAGE 3 ’Mfc.-'HWSk- RITA LEGAULT Janet Martin and her four-year-old daughter Kerry Goral.trying to solve a medical mystery.¦ ¦ BUCK LURE $ 7 LACHANCE CHASSE & PÊCHE Jean-Guy Lachance, Prop.1435 King E.Fleurimont 563-9676 page 2 Friday, October 22, 1999 ¦ ¦THEw RECORD loto-qud Draw 99-10-20 5 14 17 32 40 46 BONUS NUMBER: 42 WINNERS PRIZES 6/6 0 $ 1 892 010,60 5/6+ 5 $ 113 520,60 5/6 195 $ 2 328,60 4/6 12 095 $ 71,90 3/6 219 001 $10 Total sales: $13 275 625,00 Next grand prize (approx.): $ 5 ooo 000,00 Draw 99-10-20 13 25 33 35 39 46 BONUS NUMBER: 14 BONUS SELECTION 2 36 42 45 POOL OF S 100.000 6/6 5/6+ 5/6 4/6 3/6 BONUS WINNERS PRIZES 0 0 20 948 18 074 90 $ 1 000 000,00 $50 000,00 $500 $50 $5 $ 1 111,11 Total sales: $597 183,00 E|tra NUMBER 696771 96771 6771 771 71 1 Draw 99-10-20 PRIZES $100,000 $1,000 $250 $50 $10 $2 TVA, the network of draws Claims: See back of tickets, in the event of discrepancy between this list and the official winning list, the latter shall prevail.Weather FRIDAY: Variable cloudiness.High near 12.Winds southerly 20 to 40 km/h.SATURDAY: Intermittent rain.Low near 5.High near 8.Probability of precipitation 80 per cent.SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy.Probability of wet flurries 40 per cent.Low near zero.High near 5.Windy.omnigrains 300259 City meeting focuses on safety PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL :ïi; CSST regional director, Bernard Morency, reports that there have been no major accidents causing serious injuries or death to date in 1999.CSST concerned about accident prevention By Steven Warburton Sherbrooke Most folks might be surprised to learn how preventable most accidents are.That’s the sentiment la Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CSST) shared with the general public at a press conference yesterday morning.The CSST, asked by the City of Sherbrooke to speak to its employees, presented a ten minute video entitled Au Travail, le Danger, c’est Assez! (Too much danger at work.) The video opened with various industrial workers talking about their experiences with on-the-job accidents and then highlighted a special CSST task force which is committed to minimizing accidents.CSST regional director, Bernard Morency, reports that there have been no major accidents causing serious injuries or death to date in 1999.“We are really working with the local municipality,” Morency says.“Right now, the city is doing a lot of excavating to repair some water and sanitary pipes.We want to make sure that there aren’t any accidents.” Morency says there’s always a danger of falling when workers are standing close to a hole in the earth.The CSST is emphasizing the use of ladders connected to upright concrete walls that can be embedded in the dirt, and sturdy steel platforms that offer safe access from sliding dirt.Morency has been circulating the safety videotape around the province.“I’m very pleased with the reception the tape has been receiving,” Morency said.“People are realizing that if they want to avoid accidents, they have to be active in finding a solution.” Trefflé Lacombe, administrator of the CSST, quoted some alarming statistics from last year.In Quebec, the CSST reported 208 work-related deaths, 134 caused by accidents, 74 caused by work-related sickness.Of these accidents, six took the lives of people under 20 years of age.“For the family, and for society in general, one death is one death too many,” Lacombe said.Workers everywhere, particularly the victim’s colleagues, really suffer from these tragedies.” Accidents and sickness in Quebec workplaces last year have resulted in 138,196 compensation demands, a cost of $1.8 million, and an alarming 12.3 million lost work days.CSST public relations manager, Mireille Lallier, says that education is the key to prevention and the CSST is committed to educating schoolchildren on accident prevention as well as establishing zero-tolerance policies on workplace safety violations.Briefs Horticultural centre could provide jobs for handicapped people Jean Giasson, president of the Green Thumbs of Haut-Saint-Francois, announced last month that his group wants to build a horticultural centre in the MRC.They are holding a fund-raising drive hoping to amass a total of $67,000.The Green Thumbs hope that the new horticultural centre will be a major employer of handicapped people.They are calling upon the generosity of the community and local businesses to help make this dream come true.Food bank holds fund-raiser Moisson Estrie will hold a fund-raising brunch with Bernard Lemaire, president of Conseil Cascades Inc.Sunday, Oct.24, at 11:30 at CÉGEP, 355 rue du Parc, Sherbrooke $10 per person Ben by Daniel Shelton i rvriz ucpc - "TU r,ÛH.'

Crossfield The commercial sign that started the court case which struck down two articles of Quebec’s French language charter this week will no longer be used by its owners.Contacted by The Record Thursday, the Lyon and Wallrus co-owner Gwen Simpson said the sign was left at Alliance Quebec headquarters following a press conference there Wednesday.Where it goes from there is unclear.“Wally (co-owner Walter Hoffman) and Brian Timmins cut it down with a chainsaw on the weekend,” Simpson said.“People were getting confused because the store isn’t there anymore.” Simpson explained that the Lyon and the Wallrus store recently moved from its traditional Lakeside Street location in Knowlton to their home in Sutton Township.An extension has been added to their garage, and the building has been transformed into the new store.But with the new store Simpson and Hoffman decided the large ornate wooden sign was no longer necessary.The sign that hung on the door of the Knowlton store for years now serves as their primary sign.“We have a smaller version of the same sign,” she said.“It also has equal proportions of French and English.” The couple has been at the centre of a Quebec media frenzy this week following the decision handed down Wednesday by Quebec Court Judge Danielle Coté.Her decision struck down Articles 58 and 205 of the French Language Charter, the so-called “marked predominance” articles.By so doing, Simpson and Hoffman were acquitted of charges of posting a bilingual sign in which the letters of both languages were of equal size.However within hours, Quebec Justice Minister Linda Goupil announced that the decision will be appealed in Quebec Superior Court.It now appears inevitable that the case will eventually end up in the hands of the Supreme Court of Canada.But while Knowlton’s most fa- mous sign no longer stands out on the landscape, Simpson says the fight will continue.“The sign is of secondary importance, it’s the issue that matters,” she said.“It’s about creating right and wrong.Ninety per cent of people don’t give a damn if someone advertises in English.” Simpson said both she and Hoffman are looking forward to life getting a little quieter, at least for now.Thursday morning saw the couple up at 5 a.m.to do a live interview on Canada AM.“It’s overwhelming, our phone hasn’t stopped ringing,” she said.“I’ve said pretty much all there is to say.We’re certainly very happy with the decision.” Some of those phone calls have been from old acquaintances the couple hasn’t heard from in years.The topic of interest of course, remains the famous sign.“Through it all we’ve never had any negative reactions,” she said.“Even our French friends have never said anything against what we’re doing.” The Lyon and the Wallrus is now located at the corner of Mount Echo Road and Elie Road in Sutton Township.Twin busts: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “They had some very sophisticated equipment.” Arrested were André Meunier, 20, and Luc Dumont, 31.The two appeared before a justice of the peace in Cowansville later in the day and were charged with possession of marijuana and cocaine with the intent to traffic.Meunier, who police say was sleeping near the front door, was also charged with illegal use of a firearm.The two will appear in court again today for a bail hearing.The Brigham bust comes on the DUKE, NOBLE, ft Chartered

-m i ¦ Janet and Kerry on the slide at the Mackay Centre in Montreal.CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Martin became concerned about her daughter Kerry when she was just a baby.Her maternal instincts told her that Kerry was not progressing as quickly as other children.“She never reached any milestones anywhere near on time,” Martin said, adding that as time progressed she was convinced there was something seriously wrong.When Kerry was two, doctors began to take Martin seriously.After inconclusive tests, they now believe the four-year-old has an undiagnosed neurological or neuromuscular disease.Kerry suffers from a number of symptoms including sharp pains in her leg muscles that often force her to use a walker and occasionally a wheelchair to get around.Kerry’s pediatrician Diane Munz says the toddler’s motor development is delayed, but that her fine motor and language skills are normal.Kerry’s main problem is muscle weakness and muscle wasting that is most noticeable in her calves.She tires easily with exertion and experiences muscle pain in her calves, thighs and wrists after activity.The pain often lasts all night and she gets no relief from pain medicine, heat, cold or massage.Scans have shown normal brain and spinal chord, and tests for various forms of muscular dystrophy and for peripheral nerve diseases have all been negative, Munz says.“There are so many things it could be, but it would take forever to test for for them,” Martin said, adding that Kerry is scheduled for genetic testing as well as gastronomical and more neurological tests.“It’s back to neurology, but they don’t seem to have a clue about what’s wrong,” she said.“We’ve been trying to find answers for so long.Nothing seems to be coming up.” That’s why a full medical background on her parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and other blood relatives is so important.Someone in the family may suffer from a similar problem and help uncover Kerry’s condition.While Kerry resembles children with muscle disorders, in her case no diagnosis has been made, says Munz, adding that a complete family history could help to identify relatives with a similar picture and give doctors further clues to the diagnosis and outcome for Kerry.“If we had something, it might make the trail shorter,” Martin comments hopefully.“We’ve gone from one doctor, to another, to another, and they just seem to tell us what she doesn’t have.” This is not Martin’s first search for her family and medical records.When she was a teenager, Martin also exhibited mysterious medical symptoms of her own.“When I was a teenager, my tendons fell off my joints,” she said, describing in laymen’s terms the undiagnosed medical problem she suffered.At the time, she contacted Dr.Robert Pincott, who birthed her and oversaw her adoption through the Rev.Peacock.At the time, Martin’s doctors uncovered little in the way of medical records at the BMP Hospital, she said.Now Martin desperately needs to find out more about her family’s medical past, but Peacock passed away a few years ago and with him went the adoption record for the numerous babies he had placed.While Peacock was alive, he refused to share information with either the birth moms or the children he set up for adoption.Despite the many roadblocks they encountered, a handftil of Peacock Babies refused to give up the quest for their roots and have banded together to help each other unlock the secrets of their past.A year ago, Brian Quillinan launched a website that aims to reunite Peacock Babies and their birth parents.The site has succeeded in reuniting a few families.Martin hopes the cyber site and the network of other grown up Peacock Babies will help her too.Martin’s parents Stuart and Mary Martin, who retired to Georgeville a few years ago, spotted the articles in the Record about the Peacock Baby web- site and reunions and brought them to their daughter’s attention on her birthday this fall.A few weeks later, Martin fired off an e-mail to Brian Quillinan at the Peacock Baby website.Within 10 or 15 minutes the phone rang.Quillinan, who was on line when the e-mail showed up, read it and got exited.He dialed information, found the Goral’s phone number, and contacted her immediately.Now Janet Martin is listed on the website.She hopes that through the Internet, and her interview with the Record, that her family will make contact.If not, she hopes that anyone with information about her adoption will come forward and help her link up with her family and uncover the medical mysteries that could help treat her daughter’s disease.Her parents are all for her uncovering her roots - especially if it will help their granddaughter get better.An Anglican minister and his wife ¦from Montreal, the Martins found out about Peacock through a friend.They had tried to find a baby to adopt through the Children Services Center in the city, but were still waiting for news when they contacted Peacock.The Martins traveled to the Townships to pick up their baby girl.They still cherish a picture of them waiting in the window of the rectory.“We had lunch there and then John went to get the baby,” recalled Rev.Martin in a telephone interview.“We were overjoyed.” The adoption was followed up by Children Services, which made home visits, and made legal through a Mon treal lawyer who handled many of Pea cock’s adoptions, said Mrs.Martin.But there are no documents that indicate who the birth mother was.Peacock once bragged that his records were in code, and no one would be able to figure them out.Since he died, his files were allegedly destroyed by his widow.The retired Montreal lawyer who handled many of the adoptions says his records are gone and the Anglican Church says it had no official knowledge of Peacock’s activities and there fore no records of the adoptions.The Martins defend the actions of the minister who provided them with a child and are uncomfortable about the innuendo surrounding Peacock as many adopted children and birth moms begin the complicated search for their families.“John Peacock was a parish priest who was very active in the community and the hospital in Cowansville,” commented Rev.Martin, adding that the adoptions he and his wife are aware of, were performed legally.“We know of several other families who had children who came from John Peacock,” Mary Martin said.“They were all done above board.” The Martins believe Reverend Peacock acted in good faith, but are disappointed the medical and family records that are needed to help their granddaughter may now be impossible to locate.Like many Peacock Babies and their families, the Martins hope they will be able to uncover the secrets of the past because solving the mystery of Janet’s ancestors may unlock hope for Kerry’s future.The Internet address for the “Peacock Baby” Web site is www.members.home.net/bjq.You can reach Brian Quillinan at bjq.home.com Half a million reasons to

few years have not been easy ones for Brome Lake’s Municipal-Council.Citizens who served on the council, like Signy Stephenson deserve a collective thanks from us all.Obviously we are going to have a new mayor; Dick Wisdom would far and away be my choice.No contest.One seat in Knowlton has been acclaimed, in the other, Tom McGovern will run again, and he deserves to be re-elected.Tom brings a rare down to earth dimension to council because he just naturally likes to listen and help people.McGovern is the incumbent, however his challenger has also been on council and made it dreadfully clear that his agenda (the unemployed) was the only one worth listening to.Listening is Tom McGovern’s forte.Tom is not a speech maker.he is at his best on the street where his only agenda is to serve those who live here anytime, anyplace and most important of all, anybody.Personally, I can think of no better reason to elect someone to represent me on a town council.Brian Timmins Knowlton If only ROC had

the Intensive Care Unit, I was attended to by doctors, nurses, technicians, and staff who exhibited the essence of cheerful, thoughtful, efficient, considerate and compassionate professional care giving.Although under the pressure of cutbacks and constraints and the additional stress of increased workloads, none of these legitimate concerns was visited upon me as a cardiac patient.I experienced what I can gratefully describe as the very best health care possible, delivered unstintingly in the manner I have described.The same courtesy and thoughtful consideration was extended to my wife when she came to visit me each day.As a resident of Ontario, I can testify that if a Quebec resident could expect the same care in the ROC (rest of Canada) as I received in Quebec, it would bode well for every citizen of our great country.Once again my congratulations to the people of Cowansville and area on their wonderful hospital and my heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses, technicians and staff who attended me.Both Ruth and I are deeply grateful.Sincerely, Frederick(Jordan) and Ruth Edward Petrolia, Ontario ¦ ¦THEm - RECORD Friday, October 22, 1999 page 7 4 % %• New

680, KIiui East, Sherbrooke (819) 563-6665 Liberal government hasn’t ruled out appealing decision By Kathryn May Southam News Ottawa Prime Minister Jean Chretien said Wednesday the federal government could afford a pay equity settlement with its workers, while not jeopardizing its commitments to tax cuts or any new program spending.“Sometimes we have to make some expenditures that were not forecast.but we always have money to do that, balance the books, have new programs and have tax cuts,” Chrétien told the Commons Wednesday in his first public comments on this week’s Federal Court ruling.This week’s court decision upheld an earlier Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruling that the government owed 200,000 current and former public ser- vants billions of dollars in back pay, plus interest, to wipe out the wage gap between male and female-dominated jobs in the public service.The Liberal government hasn’t ruled out appealing that decision, but is facing mounting pressure from its own caucus, along with NDP and Bloc politicians, to pay up and settle.Sources say that at the Liberal caucus meeting Wednesday, MPs were virtually unanimous that the government should not appeal.The Reform party, however, argues the government should appeal the ruling and rewrite the laws to clarify the de finition of ‘equal pay for work of equal value.’ Reform leader Preston Manning questioned how the government could provide promised tax relief if it implements the ruling, which could cost up to $5 billion.The Liberals, however, have long been accused of exaggerating the $5-billion bill to sway public opinion in its decision a year ago to appeal the tribunal ruling.200 value of clothing and/or accessories with the purchase of a new Polaris 2000 snowmobile The Canadian Human Rights Commission, which developed the formula the court endorsed to calculate the bill, estimates workers are owed between $2 billion and $3 billion.The Public Service Alliance of Canada, which led the pay equity fight, estimates a $3.2-billion bill - about $2.1 billion in back pay and about $1.1 billion in interest.But Chrétien said the government has long recognized it owed workers money and had a longstanding $1.3-billion offer to settle the dispute.The problem, he said, is that the union and government could not agree on the formula to calculate the wage gap and how much should be paid.Chrétien said the government is spending the next several days studying the ruling to “appreciate what are the real obligations of the government and how to implement the judgment if we decide not to appeal.” But many speculate that if the government doesn’t appeal it will try and negotiate a better deal than the one prescribed by the formula the tribunal endorsed in its ruling.If that fails, some argue the government could resort to legislation to force a deal it can afford - a move PSAC would quickly challenge in the courts.Millar said the union won’t bend on the formula to eliminate the wage gap.The average worker is owed about $30,000.But Millar argued there is scope for negotiations on the salary-related benefits, such as back pay for overtime, maternity leave, promotions and severance pay.She said the union may be willing to accept lump-sum payments for some of these benefits rather than forcing the government to pore over old pay records of each worker.She said the union is also willing to negotiate an installment plan, allowing payments to be spread over two years.“We have gone over every aspect of this over the years and could have a settlement reached within a weekend if the government was willing to do so.” Economist have forecast a surplus next year of $11 billion, of which at least $3 billion would be set aside in a contingency fund.That would leave about $8 -billion for new spending and tax cuts promised in last week’s throne speech.Many argue there’s no reason the government would have to pay the settlement out of next year’s surplus.It could spread the payments over several years or dip into this year’s expected $7-billion surplus, which would be otherwise used to pay down the debt.Millar argued the government expected this week’s ruling and had ordered departments to get their old employment records, dating back to 1985, in order so a settlement could be easily and quickly calculated.The dispute involves mostly women who work in one of six femaledominat-ed occupations: secretaries, data processors, librarians, educational support and health services staff.About 54,000 still work for the government,21,000 have retired and the rest have either left government or worked as causal, part-time or term employees between 1985 and 1998.It’s unknown how many of these former workers would file claims or are even aware they qualify for a settlement.Les Équipements Veilleux Lennoxville Inc.1969 Sherbrooke Street, Magog (Québec) J1X 1T5 Tel.: (819) 843-2310 Perfectly equipped for winter explorations, Polaris

own political whims - that’s an illegal act,” association president Gerry Vautour told a news conference.He added that the reputation of Northern Ontario outfitters has been smeared in the U.S.because many couldn’t payback deposits made by American bear hunters who booked lodges months before the ban was announced.The $40-million would provide the group’s 800 members with about $50,000 on average.Vautour said while he was paid $7,250 from the province in compensation for the hunt’s cancellation, he still owes $14,000 US to Americans who had pre-booked his lodge.He added that in total he owed about $67,000 for this year alone as a result of the cancellation.The Ontario government announced last winter that it was cancelling the annual spring bear hunt that draws an estimated 8,000 hunters.It’s concern was that too many cubs were being orphaned in the hunt and At the time, the province committed to spending $2 million to compensate about 934 tourist outfitters in Northern Ontario.National ban on water exports almost complete By Andrew Duffy The stage is set for an airtight national ban on the bulk sale of fresh water after the Newfoundland government decided Wednesday to block exports from Gisborne Lake.Newfoundland Premier Brian Tobin announced his government will not licence the McCurdy Group to take 52 billion litres of water from the lake on the south coast of the island, even though the project passed the province’s environmental screening.“In effect that means the export of bulk water from Newfoundland and Labrador is dead,” Tobin told reporters.The Tobin government’s decision ends the most immediate threat to Canada’s freshwater resources and shuts down the last in a series of export proposals that stirred controversy in other provinces.In Ottawa, federal Environment Minister David Anderson called Newfoundland’s decision “correct and statesmanlike.” “It brings all the provinces on side,” Anderson told reporters.Federal and provincial

women play in Sudbury By Mike Hickey Special to the Record The Bishop’s Gaiters men and women basketball teams get their exhibition schedule underway this weekend in earnest as the men play in Ottawa and the women trek up to Sudbury.The defending Quebec champion men’s roster will feature a lot of new names as they aim for a fourth consecutive Quebec University Basketball League title.The squad will be led by a pair of Sherbrooke natives, co-captains Remi Aucoin and Patrice Lemieux, and will have a strong local flavour.Six of the 14 players came to Bishop’s via Cegep Sherbrooke and Champlain College.Women’s basketball hockey in local action this weekend By Mike Hickey Special to the Record While the Bishop’s Gaiters fight for their playoff lives at Coulter Field, the Champlain Cougars are off to meet the St.Jean Géants tomorrow afternoon in a Major College Football League contest.The Cougars are presently tied with the Vanier Cheetahs for second place in the six team circuit, and hold the trump card in the tie-breaking process by virtue of a 30-15 win over the Cheetahs four weeks ago.The two teams will meet next weekend in a game that could ultimately decide second place and home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.But Champlain head coach Tony Ad-dona knows his team has to forget the Vanier game and concentrate on the task at hand - the Géants.However looking past St.Jean is understandable since the Cougars mauled them 39-6 in their season opener.Still, Addona has been preaching all week the need for a solid effort on Saturday.“Our goal this weekend is to keep “This is going to be a different team than what people are used to seeing,” Gaiter head coach Eddie Pomykala said recently.“We lost five of the top six players from last year’s team and only four players are still on the team from the National Championship team of 1997.“We did last year what all good programs eventually should do - graduate players.The loss of players like Ryan Thorne, Rob Burns, Joel Sherbino, and Kris Ruiter will certainly be difficult to replace.Those players have left us with a tremendous legacy and a championship tradition.We are excited about rebuilding this programme back into a conference contender and we believe we have some good talent on hand to begin this process.” Indeed Pomykala has had his finest recruiting class since Burns and Thorne were freshman giving the Gaiters a talented but inexperienced club.Lemieux is a bona fide All-Canadian things going, to continue to build on the momentum,” Addona said yesterday.“With the exception of the first Vieux-Montreal game (a 38-7 blowout in Lennoxville by the first-placè Spartiates) we have shown improvement every week.We don’t want to just show up against the Géants and win a game simply be-cause we have more talent.We want to continue to improve and prepare ourselves for the playoffs.” Women’s basketball opens tonight In other Cougar news the women’s basketball team opens their league schedule tonight when they host Sorel at the Mitchell Gymnasium.Game time is 7 p.m.The Cougars, with seven local players on their roster, split a pair of exhibition games last week in Quebec City.Katie Lowry, a Lennoxville resident who played at Alexander Galt High School last year, led the team with 22 points in the two games.Cougar hockey The Cougar hockey team, fresh off an impressive

WJB.Scott Arena.candidate while Aucoin, Shawn Craik, David Suzuki, Matt Helm, Darren Newton and Dwayne Ells all made contributions at different stages of the 1998-99 season.The key is for them to pick up their game a notch.Paul Stephens, former Cegep Sherbrooke players Mathieu Guerette and Phillipe Miguel and Champlain’s Ian Lee are all outstanding athletes who were baptized under fire this year.How fast they mature will be a major factor in how far the team advances this season.Pomykala’s chargers will face a stern test Friday night when they face the Ravens in the opening round of the University of Ottawa Invitational tournament.Women’s team a powerhouse The women’s team is a veteranladen squad that is looking for its first provincial championship since 1991.Coach Rod Gilpen has returning players from last year’s team that finished third in the QUBL.The Gaiters are led by point guards Cynthia Hitchcock and Michele Henault and an imposing front line of Melissa Lemay, Julie Rodrique and Courtnay Romkey.Hitchcock is a threetime league all-star while Heneault is one of the most underrated players in the country.“Our goal is to win Quebec and advance to the Nationals and I think we are capable of doing that,” head coach Rod Gilpin said in an interview yesterday.“Last year we put too much pressure and our expectations were too high.This year everyone is looking at as the team to beat and that’s fine with us because it takes the pressure off us.“Our team is a year older, more experienced and with the return of Courtney Romkey we have a solid unit.PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL TO THE RECORD Three-time league all-star Cynthia Hitchcock returns this season.“We need rebounding and scoring production from our starting forwards,” Gilpin stated.“I would put those three against any three in the country and when you add people like Catherine Charbonneau and Nathalie Johnson coming off the bench we are pretty solid up front.” But by no means are they a one-dimensional team.Hitchcock, Leanne Clarke and Lindsay Huff are all deadly from the outside and along with Sharolyn Higgs provide the Gaiters with quickness and experience at both ends of the court.The team has spent a lot of time in the pre-season working on their fast break and pressure defense and an up-tempo style of play would require strong contributions from the bench.The women open this weekend when they go against the nationally ranked Laurentian Voyageurs in the first round of the Voyageur Invitational.PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL TO THE RECORD * Bishop’s women’s head coach Rod Gilpin.Champlain Cougars

Special to the Record Use whatever cliche you want - door-die, backs to the wall, there is no tomorrow, we are taking it one game at a time, etc., and they all apply to the Bishop’s University football team as they attempt to capture the fourth and final spot in the Ontario-Quebec Interuniversity Football Conference standings.The Gaiters need at least one win and most likely two if they hope to secure a playoff position.All they have to do is upset the number one ranked team in the country this week and then beat the fifth-ranked team the following Saturday.Tom Allen addresses the media at Thursday’s Touchdown Qub meeting.ijfffll; ImM There are several scenarios involving Queen’s and McGill that will aid the Gaiter cause but the bottom line is that Bishop’s must take care of their own business, which starts with defeating the Concordia Stingers Saturday afternoon at Coulter Field.For fifth-year wide receiver Vincent Begin the team’s goal is simple.“All we have to do is win,” said the Trois-Rivières native.“There is no doubt that we can beat them if we play error-free football.If we start turning the ball over and get down early in the game then it is not going to happen.“But we are coming off a very good effort against Western in which we played a very physical game for 60 minutes.For the first time this year we had trouble running the ball but the play of the defensive team was unbelievable.“When you are a 1-5 team you must start the game on a good note,” Begin added.“If we fall behind 14-0 after a quarter of play we are in trouble.We know we don’t have the most talent in the league so we have to start strong and finish strong.” For head coach Tom Allen the loss to Western was good for the team’s psyche.“I thought we really stepped out and played a physical game against one of the top two teams in the country,” Allen said.“We are entering Saturday’s game with the attitude that we are not holding back anything, We are dressing and playing our 24 best players and going at them.“Our best chance to make the playoffs is to win the next two games and the kids are going in with a great attitude.If everyone comes to play a physical game then we will be fine against Concordia.” For what it’s worth, while the Gaiters haven’t always played well, they have not quit all year and aren’t about to this weekend.They may not beat the Stingers but it will not be from a lack of effort.South Hero time of 2:49:22.He was followed by Eric Krohne, 29, Lake Winnapasockee NH, running his first marathon in 2:55:13.50 year old Torbjom Dahl, Montreal, was third

as competitors in the Green Mountain Athletic Association’s annual marathon and half marathon races approached South Hero along the island highways on Saturday morning.The deception was short lived.As they stepped from the shelter of their cars at Folsom school, they were greeted by steady south winds reaching 30 to 40 kilometres an hour even in the relatively sheltered vicinity of the starting line.Various combinations of colourful protective gear appeared from old running.Don Lacharite revealed the wisdom of experience when he noted that the stretches along the lake would also be in- fluenced by the “air conditioner” effect of the wind passing over the cold waters of Lake Champlain before it reached the runners.Fortunately, in these long races, experience teaches preparedness while inexperience is usually accompanied by unbridled optimism.In both groups, the pre-race mood was definitely upbeat as departure time approached.With little fanfare, months of preparation by Howard and Annette Atherton were history as the enthusiastic band of 374 set off southward from the starting line, straight into the wind.From the outset, a small band of half marathoners set the pace and Sam Davis, 38, of Colchester held the lead through the halfway turn just under 37 minutes.The constant pressure of winds now reaching 50 km/hr gradually took its toll.Randy Sightler, 40, of

finishers were lured into a false sense of security by the apparent ease of running in the first half tailwind before being humbled by the constant frontal force of the gale on the return leg.Don

Rev.Blake Walker Attend the church ot your choice Your Birthday Friday, Oct.22,1999 All Librans have a fondness for partnership arrangements, but in the year ahead matters where you operate independently of others will be the ones that could be the most successful.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) Once a disagreement is introduced, it will be difficult to subdue today, so stay away from issues that have caused you and your mate to take opposing views.Get a jump on life by understanding the influences that’ll govern you in the year ahead.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) It’s never a good policy to use a discussion with friends as a platform to criticize another who isn’t present.You’re the one who’ll come off looking bad today.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) Some times there are no in-betweens with you and today could be just such a day.You might be either generous to a fault or surprisingly selfish.Try to temper both extremes.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) Instead of telling others what they should do, lead by example and show them how things should be done.Unless you take this initiative, you won’t get others on your bandwagon.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) One of your greatest assets is your ability to vi-sualize the future, but unless your dreams are realistic today, their chances of being fulfilled are slim.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) There’s no need to grant a request just because it is asked.Be strong enough to explain why you don’t wish to comply should someone ask something of you that you’re not up to doing.ARIES (March 21-April 19) Little irritations can’t put you in a bad mood today if you don’t permit them to do so.Maintain that positive, upbeat attitude throughout the day and they’ll have no impact.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Usually you’re tolerant of others who have a difference of an opinion from what you believe, but today you might not take kindly to anyone who opposes what you think.Don’t overreact.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Don’t sweat the small stuff today and get all uptight over matters that are of no real significance.Keep your sense of humor about you and treat everything lightly.CANCER (June 21-July 22) When involved in a team effort today, be careful you are not the one who gets things off to a bad start by demanding that things are done your way.Harmony must prevail to succeed.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Lack of communication or jealous thinking mars productivity, so if you or your cohorts bring either into the picture, nip it in the bud immediately and get on with your work.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) This is not the day to get involved in risky ventures or enterprises.If your involvements get too chancy or speculative, a serious loss could ensue.Saturday, Oct.23,1999 The year ahead could be a remarkable one for your ability to add to your resources, but the secret to keeping what you earned is to offset any wastefulness or extravagant tendencies.DOBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) Be more diligent about your possessions today.If you are either careless about handling them or protecting them, a loss of something you’re rather fond of could occur.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) Although your thinking might work for you, it could be completely wrong for others.Don’t attempt to force your judgments today on those who need to go another route.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) Disappointment is inevitable when you’re expectations of your worth or what you think is due you is unreasonable.Don’t anticipate more than you can honestly justify should be yours.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) If you happen to be one of the early arrivals at a social gathering today, make certain you’re one of the first to leave.Otherwise, you could risk wearing out your welcome.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) When dealing with authority figures today, miscalculations are possible regarding the strength of your position.Don’t take anything for granted, especially in career matters.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) Should you be drawn into a discussion today with a person who takes his or her position very seriously, you need to handle any debate with “kid glove” treatment.It’s a no-win situation.ARIES (March 21-April 19) Try to keep current with your present financial obligations today and avoid getting yourself in over your head simply to satisfy an extravagant whim.You’ll regret it later.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although you may satisfy a stubborn streak, it won’t be wise of you to solicit advice from others then refuse to listen, let alone not follow their suggestions.Be open-minded today.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be prepared for a major let down today if you count too heavily upon others to come through for you on doing jobs that you should be taking care of.You’ll have to carry your own weight.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be extreme ly mindful of your behavior when in the company of friends today.If you come off as being too self-serving, you’ll be met with a cold shoulder.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) The entire family had better decide early who will be in charge of what in the household today.Confusion could erupt into discord if too much is laid on any one person.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) It may be the little details that trip up your grandiose schemes today, so don’t just think in wide sweeping terms.Remember, if the small parts are missing, your apparatus could collapse.Sunday, Oct.24,1999 Major revisions in your overall affairs that will have far reaching successful results are likely to take place in the year ahead.Much will have to do with whom you choose to team up.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) Your present hopes and dreams are not as unrealistic as past experience may have led you to believe.You have a number of people working on your behalf today that’ll make the difference.Scorpio, treat yourself to a birthday gift.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) Too bad you can’t see yourself as others do today.You would be pleased to discover how much you are admired by your peers.Unfortunately, you keep yourself unaware of this.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) In your relationships with others today, you might see a few storm signals brewing.Because of your ability to grasp this, however, you will make things right and bring all under control.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) Planning and doing constructive things for your family is what what you’re likely to want to do today.Thus, domestic matters will take precedence over anything else that pops up.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) Persons with whom you’d like to be associated will be watching you closely at this time.Knowing this, perform in ways you’ll want them to observe.ARIES (March 21-April 19) Involvements that have materialistic overtones will go better for you today.When dealing with others, make sure they will fare as well from the situation as you do.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although you could encounter people who want to run your show today, you’d do better to be the one who is the controller of your own affairs rather than allowing yourself to be controlled.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If things don’t get off to a good start today, change course and get involved with people you know from experience have proven their worth and trust.You’ll be glad that you did.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Stay clear of people who tend to antagonize you, because you don’t need them today.Instead, spend your day with those who are positive, uplifting and fun to be around.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Things get better and better for you as the day wears on and before it’s all over, you could have something great coming from two different places to cheer about.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) If you have to deal with something today which you didn’t handle too well previously, draw upon that past experience to guide you.If you do, you’ll do great this time.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) Be less vocal than the persons with whom you have dealings today.If you allow them to do most of the talking, something hidden could be revealed to you that will serve your interests well.
