than three weeks Staff Sherbrooke Firefighters from Hatley Township and North Hatley struggled for more than two hours to put out a blaze that destroyed a Massawippi home Saturday morning.Towards 9 a.m., two firefighters driving by noticed smoke coming out of the home at 2935 Rte 143.“We have our own radio system." said Hatley fire chief Madison Bowen.“They notified us that way.” Minutes later, firefighters were up on the roof dowsing the flames.Since the roof was insulated with sawdust, Bowen said they had to remove shingles to finish the job.“There hasn’t been residents there for a while,” Bowen noted, adding that the owners live in an adjacent house.“There were a couple of raccoons living in a shed near the end of the house.It’s the second time firefighters have been called to the same property in less than three weeks.On Feb.11, a barn burned down on the property.The owners managed to pull the 50 cattle to safety.“We don’t think it’s arson, but we don’t know what it is yet," said Bowen.Investigators are still trying to determine what provoked the latest fire.The Sûreté du Québec is aware of the blaze.PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL An early morning fire on Saturday destroyed a Massawippi home, marking the second building hit by fire at the property in less than three weeks.Decision on Brigham United Church delayed until April By Maurice Crossfield The fate of the Brigham'United Church has been put on hold for another month.“Because I was not going to be there for the caucus we decided we were not going to discuss the church this month,” said Brigham mayor Steven Neil on Friday.He said he will be on vacation at the time.At issue is whether the municipality should renovate the 130-year-old church and make it a community centre, or sell it.The building needs $145,000 in repairs to make it usable, plus an additional $25,000 of work on the decaying bell tower.In 1999, the municipality bought the church for $20,000, with the verbal agreement that it be made into a community centre.A few months later, excavation work resulted in serious cracks to the foun- dation and wall, and the building was condemned.It hasn’t been touched since.Later that year, Neil defeated incumbent mayor André Leroux, inheriting the problem of what to do with the building.If government programs covered half of the cost, the municipality would still be faced with having to cover the other half, resulting in a tax increase df eight cents per $100 of evaluation.While former trustees of the Brigham United Church are angry at the prospect of it being sold, the council is divided on the issue.A decision was supposed to be made in February, but was postponed until March.It now appears the matter will be decided in April.Unlike many other small municipalities, council meetings in Brigham are held on the second Monday of each month.PERRY BEATON/SPEOAL Students from Centre 24juin will team up with professional cooks from across the region to cater the 2002 Eastern Townships Tourism Awards

Here’s a little trick you can try next time you’re doing a little tackle tinkering.Take a rod and reel that’s spooled up with eight or 10-pound test monofilament line and have your fishing buddy wrap the line around his hand.Get him to stand 40 feet away from you while he’s holding the line, then reel down and make a hook-setting motion with your rod.Chances are you won’t be able to move your buddy’s hand with your hook-set.So what does that tell you?It tells you that just to get a hook into a fish’s mouth loto-québec LilLJ.Draw 2002-03-02 0311 Bonus: 13 28 40 47 (16) takes an incredible amount of force and one of the reasons we lose fish is because we never really had them hooked in the first place.I’ve had the opportunity to fish with hundreds of anglers of all ages and experience levels.One thing I’ve noticed is that setting the hook properly seems to be the one skill that is overlooked by most beginning, and even some not so novice anglers.I’ve often watched as someone is retrieving a bait, and I’ll see their rod tip twitch or bend, and they just keep on reeling.Some anglers will reel a bit faster and others might give a half-hearted tug, but for the most part they just don’t put enough into setting the hook.In fact, I’d be willing to bet that poor hook-sets are probably one of the main reasons people lose fish.Gone Fishin’ Bob Izumi Draw 2002-03-02 0208 16 22

winning list of L-Q, the latter shall prevail.TVA, THE NETWORK OF LOTO-QUEBEC’S LOTTERIES There are a number of considerations that can affect your hook-set and selecting the right rod action is one of the most important.Imagine two anglers fishing the same bait with different action rods.One is using a stiff action rod and the other is using a softer action.The angler with the stiffer rod won’t have to set the hook nearly as hard as the one using the softer rod to get the same hook penetration.That’s because the softer rod bends more and absorbs more of the hook-setting power than the stiffer rod does.Another key factor is the type of fishing line you’re using.If one angler is using a braided type of line and the other is using regular monofilament, the one using the braid won’t have to set the hook with nearly the power of the person using the mono line.That’s because the braided lines don’t stretch the way that monofilament lines do.The problem with line stretch gets worse with the more line you have out.Tiy it again with different lengths of line and you’ll see what I mean.SOUTHAM A good hook-set can help you to land more fish.The third important part of your hook-set is the type of lure or bait you’re using.Steelhead anglers often use long, soft rods that are designed to absorb the shock of fighting big fish on light lines.In order to get a hook to penetrate, most steelheaders will use small, incredibly sharp, fine wire hooks that will stick with a minimum amount of pressure.In contrast, bass anglers who are using heavy, forged hooks like the ones on a flipping jig, will use much stiffer rods and heavier line in order to drive the big hooks home.Some of the people I’ve fished with over the years have an incredibly fast snap-set when they set the hook and they use the same motion no matter what they’re fishing for.These anglers use different rod and line combinations to adjust the power of their hook-set, depending on the conditions they’re facing.For example, if they’re walleye fishing with lighter lines, and using jigs with small diameter hooks, they’ll use a longer, softer rod to absorb some of the shock of their hook-set.The rod absorbs some of the power and prevents the line from possibly breaking, while still delivering enough force to set the fine-wire hooks.When these same anglers are pike or bass fishing with baits sporting heavier hooks, they’ll use the same basic hook-set-ting motion, but they’ll use a stiffer rod that doesn’t absorb as much of the power in order to drive in the bigger hooks.For additional power, some of these people will also switch to a lower stretch line that transmits more energy from the rod to the hook point.In recent years there’s been a lot of improvements made in hook design and sharpness, and a lot of the new hooks don’t take nearly as much pressure to set as they did just a few years ago.The most important thing to remember, regardless of what line, lure or rod you’re using, is that setting the hook only works if you do it.Learn to know what your baits feel like when you're retrieving them and whenever you feel anything different, go ahead and set the hook.Over the course of a season, you’ll be amazed at how many more fish you hook and land if you do this one simple thing.Weather Monday: Cloudy with clear periods.High near minus 6.Winds westerly’20 to 40 km/h diminishing in the

Monday, March 4, 2002 page 3 Pair of grants will help rural development Staff Federal Rural Development Minister Andy Mitchell was in Coaticook on Friday to announce a pair of grants for the Eastern Townships.Mitchell announced $60,000 for a Farm Labour Stabilization program, proposed by the Centre d’initiatives en agriculture de la région de Coaticook which aims to improve working conditions for farm workers.The program was developed after a number of meetings between various rural partners who identified the need to improve the image of the agricultural sector and avoid a potential labor shortage.The agricultural sector in the Coaticook MRC employs some 1,400 workers, about 20 per cent of the local work force or about the same percentage as the manufacturing sector.But with long and often unpredictable hours and difficult working conditions, local farms were having a hard time recruiting workers.Under the pilot project, someone will visit large farms that employ workers and interview both farmers and farm workers and set up a certification program for employers.The program aims to set up a charter of quality with a variety of criteria and standards for farm labour.It will be followed by an awareness campaign to get large farms to voluntarily adhere to the charter.The second grant was a cheque of $55,610 to the Fondation des lacs et rivières du Canada for a river clean-up program.The funding came from the federal Eco-Action program which provides financial support to groups for projects that have measurable positive impacts on the environment.“Our government is doing a tremendous job in assisting rural community groups across this country,” boasted Compton-Stanstead Liberal MP David Price in a press release.“Improvement to the working conditions for our farmers and the managing of our lakes and rivers today will go a long way to preserving our rural infrastructures in the future,” he said.“We are taking on the challenge of improving the quality of life in our rural communities.” PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL Fondation des lacs et rivières du Canada organizerjacques Houle (left to right) received a cheque of $55,610 from MP David Price, and Federal Rural Development Minister Andy Mitchell Friday.IPs* *¦**¦¦ art«B»"»!

final DAVID ANDERSON/PHOTO CORRESPONDENT Massey-Vanier came up short in the semi-finals while Galt captured the consolation title.Galt captures consolation trophy By Mike Hickey Special to the Record Centennial High School defeated St.Patrick’s High School in the Viser final.Despite the lack of ETIAC teams in the title match, the three Townships boys teams played well.Massey-Vanier downed Chateauguay Valley Regional (CVR) 73-40 in the first round of the tournament as Jeremy Singfield led all scorers with 20 points while Jeremy Frizzle and Tim Croteau added 12 points apiece.The Vikings came up short in the semi-finals as St.Pat’s took advantage of some mental mistakes in the third quarter to register a 61-52 win.With the score tied 36-36, the Irish went on a 6-0 run turning three turnovers into baskets and delivering a blow to the Vikings’ psyche.“That was the turning point of the game," Massey-Vanier head coach Henry Blumenfeld said after the game.“We let up for a couple of minutes, made some mistakes against their pressure and never got back into the game.“We needed someone to make some shots and it never happened.Our best of- fensive player was Tim Croteau but we needed others to step up in a game like this.The boys played hard the whole weekend and I am proud of them.We never quit.” Galt rebounded from a first-round loss to St.Patrick’s with two strong wins.St.Pat’s downed Galt 62-46 despite a 14-point effort from Alex Dezan.Wayne Szabo and Brent Loach chipped in with 13 and 10 points respectively in the losing cause.The Pipers bounced back to beat CVR 57-46 as Dezan and Loach combined for 33 points.Galt then took the consolation championship with a hard-fought 55-52 win over Philameon Wright.BCS started the tournament down in numbers but still managed to beat Philameon Wright in the first round of play.However, two serious ankle injuries depleted their line-up as the team dropped its semi-final match to Centennial.The boys’ all-star team included Most Valuable Player Ryan Eveleigh of Centennial, his teammate Kevin Rapso, Phil Gallese of St.Patrick’s, Massey-Vanier’s Jeremy Singfield, (Alex) Dezan of Galt and Jeremy Wapachee from Philameon Wright.Massey-Vanier girls take McLeod in style By Mike Hickey Special to the Record Tfie Massey-Vanier senior girls’ basketball team wrapped up a great week of basketball Saturday afternoon when it rallied from a 15-point deficit to defeat the Stanstead College Spartans 59-52 in the finals of the McLeod tournament played in Cowansville.The Eastern Townships Interscholastic Athletic Conference's senior girls league was one of the strongest in years and that strength was evident at the McLeod.Not only was it an all-ETIAC final, but three of the four semi-finalists (Stanstead, Massey-Vanier and Bishop’s College School) hailed from the Townships.“I thought it was great to see three teams from the ETIAC in the semi-finals,” Viking head coach Bob Kay said.“Stanstead came in first during the reg- ular season.We won the ETIAC and McLeod, and for BCS to take Stanstead into double overtime with two players out with injuries, says a lot about their program.” The week’s action started last Tuesday in Lennoxville when the Vikings de feated BCS in the ETIAC semi-finals and then upset Stanstead in the finals.It was a similar script Saturday as the Spartans played a great first half of basketball and built up a 15-point lead late in the second quarter.The Vikings cut the lead to 35-22 at the intermission and then came out of for the second half a different team.While Rikki Bowles, the team’s leading scorer concentrated on playmaking and stopping Stanstead’s Catherine Wright, different Vikings took over scoring responsibilities.Therse Frankhauser continued her fine play of late, scoring 15 points be- fore fouling out late in the game.Tiffany Hunting, held to three points in the first half, came off the bench in the second half to score eight points and spark the Massey-Vanier rally.“At halftime I told the girls that it looked like they were nervous and that was good because that meant the game was important to them,” Kay said after the game.“But we had to get over and play with some guts and drive and if we did, a 13-point lead was not enough to beat us.“The key was our defensive play.When we play solid defence, the offence takes care of itself.” The Vikings took the lead for good, 48-44, on a pair of baskets by Frankhauser with less than three minutes left in the game.Bowles then had a chance to put the game away but uncharacteristically missed a pair of free throws.However, on the next two possessions, the talented point guard sank a jump shot and two foul shots to put the game on ice.It was a tough way for the Spartans to end the season with back-to-back losses to Massey-Vanier after beating the Vikings twice during the regular season.Stanstead was involved in a thriller with another ETIAC rival in semi-final action.The Spartans needed double overtime to beat BCS and advance to the championship match.BCS played an excellent game but was victimized by foul trouble as Courtney Dowd, Jenna Martin and Stephanie Broadhurst all fouled out.BCS also started the game with guard Susan Magwood on the sidelines with a sprained ankle and simply ran out of gas in the second overtime. page 12 Monday, March 4, 2002 THE, RECORD ; ï n Lemay leads Castors to victory Goalie in centre of second period brawl By Mike Hickey Special to the Record The Sherbrooke Castors kept their modest playoff hopes alive Friday night when they rallied for two goals in the final period to defeat the Vic-toriaville Tigers 5-4 before 1,629 fans at the Palais des Sports.Goalie Louis-Philippe Lemay was the centre of attention for both his outstanding work between the pipes and his involvement in a second period melee that saw 13 players ejected from the game.Lemay continued his fine goaltending of late stopping 41 shots en route to his fifth victory of the year.But it was his involvement in a second period brawl that was the talk among the fans as they departed from the Palais des Sports.Lemay got involved in a scrum between two Tigers and a Sherbrooke player.That prompted Victoriaville netminder Daniel Manzato to leave his net and join the fracas.Next thing anyone knew, the two goalies were going at each other.When it appeared that Lemay was being double-teamed in the fight, Eric Da-genais came off the bench and drove into PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL Referee Jean Houde ejected 14 players following a second period brawl between the Castors and the Victoriaville Tigers.a pile of players.That sent Manzato into the boards head first without a helmet and the rookie goalie suffered a concussion.That prompted both benches to clear onto the ice and when it was all done, over 17 penalties and 14 ejections were handed out by referee Jean Houde.Patrick Lévesque’s eighth goal of the season at the 4:32 mark of the third period tied the game at 4-4, and then with just over a minute to play in regulation time, François Bélanger broke the tie with his 24th goal of the season.The Castors were in Montreal last night for a key match-up with

envisioned their season would end.With Matt Hehn’s face buried in his hands, Shawn Craik staring down at the floor and Dwayne Ells leaning back on his chair, joining his two other fellow seniors on the bench as regulation expired, looking back in disgust.But that was the story on Friday.No madness in 2002 for the purple.Their post-season party ended 40 minutes after it began, losing 76-61 to the nation’s seventh ranked McGill Red-men in the conference playoff semifinal in Montreal.With the victory, the Redmen (12-3 in conference play) advanced to play division winners Laval Rouge et Or in a three-game championship series for the right to represent Quebec in the Final 8 national basketball tournament in Halifax.For Bishop’s, their 11th straight loss to McGill was the most dejecting of them all, especially for a trio of graduating players who did not want to end their careers at G.Donald Love Competition Hall.“It’s so disappointing because we played them so close all year long and then we came out in the second half and hit a wall,” said Hehn quietly, eyes narrowing as he glanced at the gymnasium one last time.“It’s really difficult to lose like that.Everything sucked.Walking off the court and being in that dressing room and knowing that you lost and it’s all over.It hasn’t really sunk in yet that I will never be playing again.” It’s the end for these three veterans and, until next fall, for the rest of the B.U.squad.“It’s tough.Tough to lose and tough to know that I’ll never be with the fellas anymore and never wearing this uniform,” admitted Ells, who knocked down 11 points in the first half but was held scoreless for the entire second half.“We had our chances and to end like this, losing in a game you knew you could win, hurts.” The Gaiters clawed with McGill for the first 25 minutes and the battle was a true playoff epic until the 15-minute mark of regulation.In the opening frame, Bishop’s did what it had to do: slow down the pace against an extremely athletic Redmen club, control the rebounding game and keep the affair low scoring.At the break, McGill led by only four points, 35-31, and five minutes into the final half the four-point difference still separated both teams.Then it was as if the Redmen were re-born, coming to life like a team vying for a national title does when it matters, and the Gaiters went into a lull, foreshadowing the long nap that was to come following the defeat.Conference player of the year Domenico Marcario showed why he is the best pure guard in the four-team loop, blazing down the floor and sinking baskets at will.Swing man Kirk Reid penetrated, completed three-point play opportunities in key moments and Frederic Bernard, noted more for his defensive play, hit for 19 points, many by driving to the basket.And when McGill misled, they kept getting second chances, grabbing 26 rebounds on the offensive end, which ended any aspiration of a Cinderella-like upset.While getting 17 more rebounds overall than the Gaiters (49-32), the ones on the offensive end prevented the game from remaining close or worthy of a possible purple party.Toss in the fact that Bishop’s missed its first six free throws to begin the second half (the Gaiters shot only 53 per , cent from the line), went cold from the perimeter and did not deal with the penetration power the Redmen employ.“It’s over and we know that and it’s really hard to believe,” said Hehn, who was a member of the conference title team in 1998-99.Added Ells, a national champion in March, 1998: “I have a ring and a lot of memories and that’s what I’ll remember the most." Stanstead falls 5-1 in hockey final twnwupDSiymynBuaoiiiiiKuoa VSy .• • m *x'' By Mike Hickey Special to the Record Cowansville Stanstead College seemed destined all season to meet College Français in the finals of the provincial hockey championships and that became reality Saturday afternoon when the tournament’s top two seeds met in the championship match in Cowansville.Unfortunately, the Spartans didn’t get the outcome they wanted as College Français took advantage of several defensive miscues to record a 5-1 win over the ET1AC champion Spartans.Stanstead, victimized by some questionable penalty calls, found itself playing shorthanded in the early stages of the game and quickly fell behind 2-0 after one period of play.David Zinay cut the lead to 2-1 in the second period but that was the only offence Stanstead could muster.“We had three times when we had to play two men short but we only allowed one power play goal,” Stanstead head coach Mike McNamara said.“What killed us was the fact that we made three defensive turnovers that led to three goals.” That, and the play of College Français’ goal-tender who stopped 31 of the 32 shots he faced.Stanstead cruised past its first two opponents, defeating Jean Eudes 7-0 and Howards S.Billings by a 9-2 score.P.T.Lacroix, the tourney’s leading scorer and a tournament all-star, paced the Spartans attack in the two games with five goals while Armando Cappello scored three times.“I was impressed how hard we worked and I thought we played well, particularly P.T.Lacroix and Shawn Iser-hoff,” McNamara said.“Even when we were behind by three goals the team never stopped playing and I was pleased with that.” The Galt Pipers played their best hockey of the season this week and capped it off by capturing the consolation championship with a thrilling 3-2 overtime win over Loyola College.The Pipers ran into some bad luck in the opening game against Centennial as the Chargers scored with less than two minutes remaining in regulation time to send the game into overtime.Centennial then recorded the winning goal two minutes into extra time to send Galt to the losing side of the bracket.PHOTOS BY DAVID ANDERSON/CORRESPONDENT College Français defeated Stanstead 5-1 in the title game while Galt captured the consolation championship with an overtime win against Loyola College.Galt bounced back with a 4-1 win over Massey-Vanier as Champigny and Miguel Vachon scored two goals apiece.The Vikings had the unfortunate luck of the draw as they faced the tournament’s number-one seed, College Français, in the opening round of the tournament and dropped a 7-1 decision.However, Massy head coach Jeremy Anderson felt that his team didn’t play as poorly as the score indicated.“We had a couple of unlucky bounces and they took advantage of several fortunate bounces to score goals,” Anderson said.“That is the way the game is and you have to take advantage of your opportunities.” •< mtmm THE i page 14 Monday, March 4, 2002 RECORD Sutton skiing is a family affair ( 3 { > ORFORn Mont Bellevue Snow, last 24hrs (Cm): 0 Snow, last 7 days (Cm): 3 Open Trails: 6/6 Lift Hours: N/A Mont Glen Snow, last 24hrs (Cm): 0 Snow, last 7 days (Cm): 26 Open Trails: 29/32 Lift Hours: N/A Mont Orford Snow, last 24hrs (Cm): 0 Snow, last 7 days (Cm): 27 Open Trails: 52/52 Lift Hours: 9 a.m.- 3:45 p.m.Ski conditions sponsored by: Mont Orford awaits you in the top skiing conditions of the Eastern Townships.Come and try the new snow park and half pipe.We invite you to the Volvo Estrie Auto Centre race.Sun., March 10.A race for skiers and riders of 6 to 17 years old.Many prizes.Check our ski conditions also at: www.skiorford.com Montjoye Snow, last 24hrs (Cm): 0 Snow, last 7 days (Cm): 16 Open Trails: 18/20 Lift Hours: N/A Owl’s Head Snow, last 24hrs (Cm): 0 Snow, last 7 days (Cm): 30 Open Trails: 41/41 Lift Hours: N/A Ski Bromont Snow, last 24hrs (Cm): 0 Snow, last 7 days (Cm): 28 Open Trails: 42/45 Lift Hours: 8 a.m.-10 p.m.Sutton Snow, last 24hrs (Cm): 0 Snow, last 7 days (Cm): 20 Open Trails: 53/53 Lift Hours: 9 a.m.- 4 p.m.Jay Peak (Vermont) Snow, last 24hrs (Cm): 0 Snow, last 7 days (Cm): N/A Open Trails: 75/75 Lift Hours: 9 a.m.- 4 p.m.The Balsams Wilderness (N.H.)
