VOTE FOR TOMORROW in Compton-Stanstead Elect Gary Caldwell green ÉÉ i of CAHAOA wjçp Authorized by the official agent of Gary Caldwell - .— THE — i RECORD The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 75 CENTS + TAXES PM# v' ¦ t n * « ¦ Wi* Ai:; J ***** r By .Jen Young The contest was announced on CHOM f.m.and the objective was to gather as many people as possible into one shot, but despite 16-year-old Justin Adams’ efforts and 800 students photographed the school missed out on the $25,000 cash prize, but much more than that was won.“I had a lot of fun doing it,” stated Adams.“Another guy won after photographing 900,000 people, but it feels really great knowing we tried.” The senior student managed to gather each and every ETSB (Eastern Townships $chool Board) Massey Vanier student into the arena two Fridays ago, and he says due to the incredible support by the school’s teachers; namely Mrs.Klinck, the students were also able to make a tribute to Terry Fox.“We decided to put both the contest and the Terry Fox Run together.I had a lot of help,” says Adams, who learned of his defeat a few days ago.“Especially by Mrs.Klinck.Her program paid for the paint and the paper and me and a couple friends painted the Terry Fox tribute on the banner in front of the arena grandstand.” Should they have won the CHOM prize Adams said $5,000 was to be allotted to the Terry Fox Foundation, but the remaining sum was to stay in the school for necessities and programs.“We tried our best.I would count on me doing other projects before 1 graduate.This is my last year and I plan on getting as involved as I can for my school.” Paradis Paradis admits he will are to spend more time in his riding in he final days to make sure he does not lose his footing in a riding that elected two Bloc MPs in three of the last five terms since 1993.Paradis also has to keep his eye on the Liberal candidate Nicole Champagne, a businesswoman from the Thetford borough of Roberstsonville, who plays up his absences in her speeches.“He is so busy working for the party in other ridings, he risks losing his own,” she said.“How can people vote for you if they don't see you.” Champagne believes Paradis is taking the riding for granted, hoping that government money being pumped in just before the election was called will solidify the Conservative vote while Paradis helps out elsewhere.But Champagne's Liberal support in the riding is shaky at best.The last Liberal MP, Gerard Binet, was only in Ottawa for four years when the sponsorship scandal jostled party support in the province and brought back Bloc MPs in 2004.Marc Boulianne took the seat away from Binet, who had taken it from the Bloc in 2000, replacing two term MP Jean-Guy Chretien.Champagne said the sponsorship scandal, which saw hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars wasted on Liberal-friendly Quebec advertising companies, has never been mentioned in the present campaign.But she admits the demise of the party in 2004 still has lasting effects for her.Getting organizers for her campaign is hard and no prominant Liberal has so far dared to travel to her rural riding.“We are still hoping to get a promi-nant name out here,” she said.“We have asked La Permanance (head office) in Montreal for help but there-have been no guarantees so far.” In lieu of outside support, Champagne has had to make out-of-the-ordi-nary promises to get attention in the riding.One of her more notable promises has been to donate close to one-third of her annual salary - $50,000 - to local charities and community groups.“With my pay and expenses, 1 am supposed to get about S 140,000 a year as an MP, so I think I can afford it,” she said.Raymond Setlakwe, a prominant businessman and former Liberal Senator for the region, believes his party can make a comeback here if Paradis continues to neglect his turf.The hope is that Liberals become another option for voters wary of the Conservative-Bloc battles.“The challenge for Nicole is to get her known across this riding,” he said.“She is spending a lot more time here than Paradis.Now (Liberal leader Stéphane) Dion needs to help her out.He seems to be doing that given his good performance in the debates.We hope to see him in the riding soon." Setlakwe argues the Conservative support in the riding is not that strong, given that it elected MP Marcel Masse twice during the Mulroney government and the party's roots died when the then Progressive Conservatives went down to horrible defeat in 1993.“Masse was a disaster for this riding,” said Setlakwe, who retired from the senate in 2003.“He did very little for this riding be- -h Mini.——¦ RECORD Tuesday, October 7, 2008 page 5 cause he too was always on the road for the party, trying to keep it alive in Quebec.In the end, he left the party and went over to support the Parti Québécois.” Dave Robinson, a longtime Liberal, has decided to stay with his party despite the Conservative presence in the riding.“I have always voted Liberal and that goes double this time around because the Harper government scares me,” he said."We don't need this election, and the only reason we have it is so that Harper can get a majority.And when he does, things will change and it will not benefit us here.” Robinson fears the western faction of the party, based in Alberta, will impose an agenda that is more right-wing than Harper's present direction if the Conservatives get a majority.“They are a pro-war party and the interests of the west will dominate in the next government,” he argued.“That can only mean more poverty for us in the east.” Daniel Duplessis, editor of the Thetford Mines newspaper Courrier de Frontenac, believes Paradis will retain his seat even if he is stretched thin in this campaign."The fact that he is a cabinet minister still sways voters here,” said Duplessis.“And his party has the resources and the people to get out the vote on election day.” Duplessis said there are fears the actual number of voters will be small given that the campaign has been less than interesting in the Megantic T Erable riding.“It has been a drab campaign here because the Liberals and the Bloc have not had a large presence.That means more voters could stay home and that can only help Paradis.” Voter turnout in the riding in 2006 was just under 64 percent.Bloc Québécois candidate Pierre Turcotte, a Thetford Mines notary, did not grant the Record an interview despite repeated requests.NDP candidate Bruno Vezina could not be reached for comment.Only Green party candidate Jean Guernon answered our internet requests for an interivew, arguing the mainstream parties are finally addressing his party's environmental concerns.“The issue is now being debated like never before here, especially in the Liberal party,” he said.Conservative Christian Paradis.“Unfortunately, their ideas were ours first and their pollution reduction targets are modest compared to ours.” Find the right person for the job in advertising in our Career Section Many Record readers want a career change and are looking for a new job.Shouldn’t your ad be in T he Record’s Career Section?For reservations or further information, please call RECORD Fire Prevention Week (McD) — Again this year, the Sherbrooke fire department and its employees are celebrating the first full week of October as “Fire Prevention Week.” Until October 11th, the department will be sponsoring a number of activities designed to educate the public about fire prevention and fire safety.The public is invited to visit a kiosk to be set up at the Carrefour de F’Estrie shopping mall between October 9th and 11th, where information will be available and a fire simulator and portable fire extinguisher will allow citizens to test their firefighting abilities.In a collaboration with the Maison du Cinema theatre, a documentary produced by the Department will be shown to movie fans before each screening.Sherbrooke mayor Jean Perrault, lauded the municipality’s fire services stating, “’’year after year (they) work flat out helping the population to integrate the notion of safety and to limit the number of fires on our territory.” ANDRÉ BACHAND in SHERBROOKE Sherbrooke has a very unique blend of realities and challenges that deserve our full attention and compassion, but mostly our concerted action.Acting Today on Our Vision for the Future Authorized by the Official Agent of the candidate.andrebachand.ca On October 14, Sherbrooke will be the true winner!

we all liked him, even my dad.I can remember dinners eaten on TV trays on the weekend if a Paul Newman movie came on.Dad emerged from his newspaper.Mom came out of the kitchen.My sister stopped teasing her hair and playing with her makeup.Paul Newman miraculously could get her out of the bathroom.As for me, well, I turned off the record player and came out of my bedroom.Our favourite films starred both Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.These were made in the days before his blockbuster movies like The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.They were in black and white; depicting life in the southern U.S.: The Long Hot Summer or A New Kind of Love or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in which he starred with Elizabeth Taylor.Nowadays, these would not be considered family entertainment.They moved slowly and had adult themes.Later on, we would enjoy films such as Cool Hand Luke and I can remember conversations in which we would argue whether Paul Newman was cooler than Steve McQueen in The Great Escape or vice versa.A few years back, I caught Paul Newman being interviewed on The Actors’ Studio.It was fascinating to listen to him talk _______ about the craft of acting and his approach to creating his characters.Newman was far more than just a pretty face.When Paul Newman died last week, more than one person asked me why I would be so upset over his death.I didn’t know him.Why should it have any impact on me?It’s hard to explain.1 see a sad irony in the fact that my mother and her favourite movie star died within months of one another.Yet it’s more than that.His death is another reminder that an era is gone, a time when movies could move slowly, when people could move slowly.Nowadays, everything moves quickly.If one of my students has a question for me, she can email me and get a nearly instant reply.If the reply isn’t instant, she gets impatient.She’s not alone; her whole generation is moving at the speed of light along with her.It’s natural for older people to lament the passing of the world that they knew as children.It probably was worse for my parents.Following World War II, they faced the advent of the Nuclear Age and watched the Sixties generation trash all the morals and values that they held dear.Our children seem to be more in tune with our beliefs and are kinder than we were.Saying goodbye to an era isn't easy.There was a lot of good in the world of my childhood and a lot of bad as well.Paul Newman made many films that will endure as a testament to his acting talent.The legacy of the lives that he touched and improved through his films and charity work will live on as well.Ellen Goldfinch may be reached at radiomother@hotmail.com.Remember when?Is this a meeting?Or maybe a social gathering of some kind?Your guess is as good as ours.If you know who any of the people in the photo are, where it may have been taking place, or why, let us know by emailing news-room@sherbrookerecord.com.Letter record P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrooke jlH 5L6 or 11% Galt E„ Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax: 819-569-3945 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Website: www.sherbrookerecord.com Kenneth Wells Publisher .(819) 569-9511 Jen Young Editor .(819) 5696345 Joe Strizzi Corresp.Editor .(819) 5696345 Richard Lessard Prod.Mgr.(819) 5699931 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman .(819) 5699931 Franc ine Thibault Prod.Superv.(819) 5694856 DEPARTMENTS Accounting .(819) 5699511 Advertising .(819) 5699525 ClRCUl ATION.(819) 5699528 Newsroom .(819) 5696345 Knowiton OFFICE 88-A Lakeside, Knowiton, Quebec, JOE 1V0 Tit : (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST TOTAL Canada: l year 120.00 6.00 9.45 Si35.45 6 MONTHS 63.00 3.15 4.96 $71.11 3 months 32.00 1.60 2.52 S36.12 Out of Quebec residents do not include PST.Rates for other setrices awilable on request.Vie Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 7, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA Only one candidate I would like to take this opportunity to suggest that my fellow voters in the riding of Compton-Stanstead consider the tremendous value of their vote on October 14th, and the potential impact not only on our riding but the final outcome.Is that because this is a “swing riding” or a “3-way race" or because we have “star candidates”?No.It is because we have the opportunity for the first time in many years to stand up as proud Townshippers - Francophone and Anglophone - and speak with one voice: NO to Harper’s vision of a backwards Canada, and NO to the Bloc’s vision of a Canada that no longer exists.Whether you’re a left-wing socialist on one extreme or a right-wing conservative on the other, so long as you believe in Canada and our riding’s place in this great country, then there is only one candidate in Compton-Stanstead who can defeat the Bloc.This is a riding which once produced Canada’s 12th Prime Minister (1948-57), Louis St.Laurent, a man who presided over the joining of Newfoundland-, the launch of the Trans-Canada Highway system, the inception of NATO, and the introduction of universal old age pensions.He was a Liberal.Despite his achievements, he succeeded as Prime Minis- ter not as an MP for our Townships riding, but for Quebec-East, in Quebec City.To be represented, in 2008, by a separatist MP in Compton-Stanstead is unacceptable.Anyone who agrees with this notion should consider their vote in this context.In this election, the Bloc candidate has the misfortune of being a promoter of Quebec sovereignty; the Conservative candidate has the misfortune of being a dedicated, yet invisible, poster-installer; the NDP candidate, though nice, has the misfortune of being a political neophyte; meanwhile the Green candidate has the misfortune of being a political chameleon who picks a new colour each time the writ is dropped.There are rumours from other ridings throughout Quebec suggesting some federalists are actually considering voting Bloc to prevent a Conservative majority.We do not need to take such drastic measures in Compton-Stanstead.For the old-school progressive conservative supporters, I implore you to consider the option of uniting the vote to defeat the Bloc.Here’s to Compton-Stanstead regaining its prominence and leadership in the House of Commons on October 14th!

(1987).Not only will you discover that Thanksgiving dates back to the 1600s, but also that there are similar festivities held around the world at this time of year, from the German Oktoberfest to the Jewish festival of Sukkot.Wende and Harry Devlin have written a delightful children’s book called Cranberry Thanksgiving (1971).Maggie lives with her grandmother on a lonely cranberry bog in New England.Grandmother is a wonderful cook and is particularly known for her cranberry bread.Bakers all over the countryside have offered money for the recipe but Grandmother refuses to part with it.She keeps it hidden behind a brick in the fireplace so that one day she can pass it onto Maggie.On Thanksgiving Day it is their tradition to invite one person each to dinner who is poor and lonely.Grandmother invites the flashy Mr.Horace: “He actually bows, and he has a gold cane and smells of lavender,” she says, which unfortunately misses the point.But Maggie understands well enough.She invites a man they’ve nicknamed Mr.Whiskers.“Too many whiskers and not enough soap,” Grandmother says.She suspects he has his eye on the famous recipe.As expected, Mr.Horace’s manners are impeccable, while Mr.Whiskers would prefer to sing “Sixteen Men on a Dead Man’s Chest” instead of church hymns.And Grandmother is right.Good Reads Michelle Barker someone is indeed after that famous cranberry bread recipe.But you’ll be surprised to find - out who!

Rev.Valerie Vande Wiele Guest Speaker - Rev.Eleanor Carr Moreithi Guest Organist - Ann Haines Clark Submitted by Noreen Wilkins on behalf of the worship committee The Dummy Song (SSSC) Well I must tell you that I haven’t been as frustrated for a long time! I got to wondering, as usual, what I could do to get the Snow Shoe Club members energized.1 began to list ways of energizing; let’s see now?There is the carrot and stick, e.g:- We could offer compensation for energy; Nope! That would mean that we have to compensate the whole membership: TOO EXPENSIVE! We could kick a lot of butts?Nope! Sounds too open to retaliation! It will be much better to act more like those College coaches, band leaders, or cheer leaders: get everyone fired up by some Rah, Rah song, OR a Sousa March: if we were in a stadium we could start a ‘Wave’.Nope! It had to be a song - but what song?1 finally thought of a tune.Yep: the tune sounded like a Sousa march, lots of slide trombones, lots of marching PEP, some real Rah! Rah! I knew the tune; in my memory of events everyone knew the tune, now if I put in some new words the problem would be solved.Get the White Knights to learn the song, spring it on the membership with the new words at the first meeting.Before long the whole Club would be singing it and WOW:- ENERGY PER- SONIFIED! First I had to find the name of the song;I knew some of the original words.I knew the tune; all I had to do was sing the tune to a few people and BANG I’d be away and sailing.So I did: I phoned 4 different friends.All said “I never heard of it”: not to be discouraged I widened my circle and phoned 3 more folk: Still no one had ever heard the song OR “Yes it is faintly familiar but Name?No I Do not know”.Finally I phoned ‘Zack’ at C J M Q.“Sounds like Louis Armstrong’s “Dummy Song”, says Zack.Well Zack was right; the name is the ‘Dummy song’.I took some legs from an old piano.I took some arms from an old arm chair, I took the hands and face from an old clock.From a dog I took some hair, I put them all together, with a bit of string and glue, And I get more love from that old dummy, Etc, etc Those are the words.My question now is :- Does anyone have the music?Please Please.As I imagined this fantastic new ‘energizing’ song, and because the original music included many ‘slides’ by a slide trombone, I was carried back to Tommy Dorsey and his great trombone playing, Suddenly I recalled my days in various cadet bands where I had tried playing a trombone.I wondered if I still had my old instrument.Yep, I found it.Slides frozen, mouthpiece green with verdigris, I put it together and blew.I had imagined a beautiful full-toned Note.Not so! My Tip’ is out of shape, my lungs corroded front smoking; all that I got was a note that reminded me of a cow calling for her calf - Kind of Moo-o-o! or, Bla-a-a.Oh well! NOTE:- This Wednesday October 08, 2006 is the Planning Meeting at the Sherbrooke Snow Shoe Club.Pres.Roger Tetreault asks a “Full dress Parade’ for all new Exec.A photo-op for the “News and Views”! So dig out that treasured uniform, dust it off, get rid of any moth larvae, and shine all buttons to “Fall In” at the Club.The Planning Meeting requires all member's ideas.So Do bring yours.To a great extent the success of the YEAR depends on as many members bringing their ideas BEFORE the year starts.The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m., not a dinner meeting, hope to see you there! Now:-last news item I had started randomly through the alphabet seeking adjectives to describe all members for this upcoming “Year of the Energizers”.I covered ‘Z’ and “V”.Looking for a moment at the letter “D” I got:-Desire, Drive, Dynamism, and Dash.WOW! If the total membership can encompass all of those characteristics listed to date, there will be no holding back at this Old Club.Yessir! I hope that everyone is as excited to see the SSSC year starting as I am.I hope that many are wracking their brains for new ideas, I hope that this year will be among the best yet at the Club and I hope that all of you will bring NEW ideas to the meeting .See you there: Respectfully submitted, Cec Blenkhorn, SSSC, HERBROOKE )NOWi®)HOE (ZlUB INC.l!a>”s RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES BIRTH & DEATH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 340 per word.Minimum charge $8.50 ($9.69 taxes included) Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off With photo: additional $18.50.DEADLINE: 11 a.m., day before publication.BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY & GET-WELL WISHES, ENGAGEMENT NOTICES: Text only: $7.00 (includes taxes) With photo: $20.00 ($22.79 taxes included) DEADLINE: 3 days before publication.WEDDING WRITE-UPS, OBITUARIES: $19.50 ($22.22 taxes included) WITH PHOTO: $29.50 ($33.62 taxes included) Please Note: All of the aforementioned (except death notices) must be submitted typewritten or neatly printed, and must include the signature and daytime telephone number of the contact person.Can be e-mailed to: classad@sherbrookerecord.com - They will not be taken by phone.DEADLINES FOR DEATH NOTICES: For Monday’s paper, call 819-569-4856 between 1 p.m.and 5 p.m.Sunday.For Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday’s edition, call 819-569-4856 or fax 819-569-1187 (please call to confirm transmission) or e-mail: produc-tion@sherbrookerecord.com between 9 a.m.and 5 p.m.the day prior to the day of publication.The Record cannot guarantee publication if another Record number is called. page 12 Tuesday, October 7, 2008 RECORD BISHOPTON Annual Parish Supper, for the benefit of St.Clement’s Church, Bishopton, in the Parish Hall on Sunday, October 12 from 5 p.m.to 7 p.m.Admission charged.All welcome.LENNOXVn.I.E There will be a 500 card party at the St.Francis Manor at 1:30 p.m.on October 8.Located at 125 Queen St., Lennoxville.Sponsored by Princess Rebekah Lodge No.4.LENNOXVILLE L.E.S.Spaghetti Supper, Thursday, October 9, 4:30 p.m.To 7 p.m.A fabulous feast of salad, rolls, spaghetti, juice or coffee, home made cake and ice cream.Admission charged.A great way to enjoy a delicious home cooked meal without having to do the cooking or dishes and support the L.E.S.Student’s activities!

I’ve been dating “Josh,” a wonderful man, for just over a month.We were instant friends and started off our romance extremely slowly.We have a lot in common.He lives two hours away and sees me on weekends.Tit is past weekend, Josh told me he is falling in love and wants me to move in with him.I have a 4-year-old daughter and don’t want to rush things.I love him and he understands we need stability for my daughter.Here’s the problem.Last night, Josh said that although he loves me and wants to be with me, he is so accustomed to being single that he isn’t sure he’ll be able to say “no” if a woman tempts him.Annie, I was dev- * • % astated.I told him ilXlTllC S everyone has to fight temptation, but he has to think I’m worth it.I don’t want to stay with a man who says he loves me, but could be with someone else anytime he gets the urge.Should I give up and walk away before I am so far in that I can’t leave?I’m hurt, mad and surprised all at the same time.— Not Whimsical in Alabama Dear Alabama: Josh is telling you in advance that he’s going to cheat and he thinks he’s giving you a plausible excuse to accept it.Tell him it’s been fun, but you need a more stable, committed relationship than what he is offering.And, by the way, moving in after a 5 Generations Left to right, front row: Megan Gilchrist (mother), Gavin Johnson (son), Elsie Heath (great-great-grandmother), Colleen Heath (great-grandmother).Back row: Susan Gilchrist (grandmother), Warren Heath Sr.(great-grandfather).Mailbox ly.” It’s racing at light speed.For your sake as well as your daughter’s, please don’t rush into cohabitation.Dear Annie: I’ve been having trouble dealing with my nephew, little Mr.Know-It-All.Not only does he correct other kids, he also corrects adults.He will argue even if his information is completely wrong.While I think it can be a good thing for a child to have a discussion with an adult, this kid frequently interrupts conversations and does so with a snotty attitude.His parents set no boundaries whatsoever.My mother advises me to let it roll off of my back.As he often plays with my children, should I be concerned with his behavior?— Annoyed Aunt Dear Aunt: We bet his parents think he’s just adorable, so he’ll be unbearably obnoxious for a while.Your mother’s advice is sound, but if you are willing, you are in a wonderful position to help this child modify his behavior.When he’s in your house, explain nicely that interrupting a conversation is rude and adults in particular find it disrespectful.Tell him a sign of intelligence is the ability to listen with an open mind.Help him understand that friendships require give-and-take.Teach him how to be appropriately sociable so others will find him a pleasure to be around.Dear Annie: My heart went out to “Not Looking Forward to Another Father’s Day” who said he and his wife could not have children.He added that they are too old to adopt and too cautious to become foster parents.Please tell them to reconsider.My husband and I adopted two babies through the foster system.Fostering allows you to share your love with children who are in great need of it, even if it’s only for a short time, while waiting for the perfect one to capture your heart and be able to adopt.When meeting with caseworkers tc become foster parents, let them know you are looking for long-term possible adoption.There are thousands of chil dren in the foster care system just wait ing for a mother and father, and most importantly, the love of a family.- Mom of Many and Loving It Dear Mom: Thanks to you and all readers who wrote telling this couple not to give up on having a family.Anyone interested in becoming a foster parent can contact their local Child Welfare League or Stare Department of Human Resources, or the National Foster Parent Association (nfpainc.org) at 1-800-557-5238.Dear Annie: I recently went to an R-rated movie.It was very good.However, I was appalled at the number of parents who brought children, some as young as 5, to the theater.The movie had sex scenes, nudity and extreme violence with bullets to the head, stabbings, etc., and an inordinate amount of blood and carnage.This was an adult movie.How can parents bring impressionable children to such a thing?The kids I observed were glued to the screen and didn’t hide their eyes or seem scared or sickened.In other words, they’ve apparently seen a lot of sex and violence already.Parents shouldn’t be surprised at their children’s atrocious behavior when they take them to inappropriate movies and don’t bother to monitor what they watch.Don’t kids have to be over 17 to attend an R-rated movie?— G-rated Grandmother Dear Grandmother: Actually, an R-rating means no one under 17 is admitted without a parent or guardian, so if Mom and Dad are foolish and irresponsible enough to bring their 7-year-old to a gory film with lots of nudity, no one will stop them.The MPAA ratings, unfortunately, do not require that parents possess any common sense.Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. i ¦ nu — ¦!
