Pomerleau argues Komlosy’s networking is not that impressive because the Jutras political clan is not as strong as it used to be.“Picard has retired and the provincial PQ_member Normand Jutras was defeated last year in the provincial election by the Action Démocratique,” said Pomerleau.Although he admits the ADQis helping the Conservatives in the riding, Pomerleau argues the provincial party's popularity is waning.“The ADQ party is not that strong now and the Jutras family has both friends and enemies,” he said.“The Parti Québécois is still supporting us and not the Conservatives.” Pomerleau, a construction worker, hopes the Bloc's popularity amongst voters will stick to him despite the loss of Picard.In the 2006 election, Picard garnered over 22,575 votes versus the 10,093 votes for second place Conservative candidate Jean-Marie Pineault.Pomerleau said he is basing his campaign on fear of a Conservative right-wing agenda, which he said his party leader Gilles Duceppe is using to great success in the province.“People here are afraid of what Harper's reformist base in the West would do to Quebec if it got into power,” he said.“I don't think Komlosy can win over voters here, because the Conservatives are so arrogant, they turn people off.” Pomerleau also thinks the Liberals can take away enough votes from the Conservatives to favour his party.“We cannot win this riding alone,” he said.“It takes a lot of factors and one of them is the Liberals trying to rob the Conservatives of a majority.We count on that fighting to help us.” But Liberal candidate Jean Courchesne is hoping to cash in on the Bloc-Tory streetfighting himself, arguing the two parties have alienated many voters with their extreme positions.“If you are against Harper's right-wing agenda and the Bloc's- seperatist position, why not come to the Liberals,” he insists.“If Komlosy is part of the Jutras clan, will anything ever change.Will he just be part of the same dynasty that has run this riding for the past 15 years.” Courchesne, a television ad salesman, does admit the lack of support from his party headquarters in Montreal could limit his abilities to take the riding.“Our party leader has not visited the riding because he has to do a lot of campaigning to do in the West of Canada,” said Courchesne.“We have invited him here but there has been no commitment.” Instead of depending on party bigwigs to sup- port him, Courchesne has instead promised local companies a Liberal government will protect them from a possible recession with grants and loans.“In order for these companies to maintain their exports, we will make sure they have the money they need to upgrade equipment and train their people to be more competitve in the world markets,” he said.“The Conservatives keep saying Drummondville will not be affected by the American economic malaise.That means they have no plan to help when the economy gets worse here.” Courchesne also argues higher taxes proposed by the Liberals on large polluting companies will not affect Drummondville factories because he argues they are already clean.“The taxes are destined for the west where they depend more on oil,” he said.“Here, most of our companies depend on clean electricity generated here in Quebec.” Green party candidate and lawyer Reginald Gagnon can only hope the major parties continue to include environmental issues in their campaigns.If they don't, he said he will remind them that voters still want some pollution solutions.“All we can do is advance our green movement,” he said.“My job is to get more votes to help that movement along.I admit that our party, along with the Bloc and the Liberals and the NDP could split the vote in favour of the Conservatives.” But the jockying for postion in this riding does not impress voters like Rodney Duffy, a South Durham dairy farmer who argues this election was not needed in the first place.“The money being spent on this election is being wasted because all Harper wants is more power and he rejected his own electoral law to do it,” said Duffy.“He may have had wind in his sails when he started this thing, but now he may not get what he wants.” Duffy said he does not hold a grudge against the Conservatives for calling the election, but he is still not decided on which candidate he will choose.“I am older and wiser,” said the former South Durham town councillor.“Most polls I see that concern our riding say the race is up in the air and I don't see anything in party platforms and statements by the candidates that has changed since the last election.“On election day, 1 will vote for what is in my best interest.I have no party loyalties.” NDP candidate Annick Corriveau could not be reached for comment at press time.Community post

the speed limit on your road, how many lanes on the road, how many vehicles pass every 15 minutes, is your box on a curb or hill and if the mail carrier has to park on the road or on the shoulder to deliver your mail.Brien says out of 922 rural mailboxes in the Town of Brome Lake, some of them conformed or the residents agreed to move them to a place where they did conform.Only 134 boxes did not and those people will be getting shiny new keys in their old mailbox within the next few weeks.As for the new community mail box placed in front of the cemetery on Centre and Iron Hill road, Canada Post is apologetic for the placement.“We will be moving it very soon,” says Brien.“It was an error to put it there and we are sorry.” François Bonnardel for Shefford www.francoisbonnardel.ca * ^, * s •-£, # % Member of the National Assembly for Shefford Chief Official Opposition Whip Critic for Labour Telephone 450 372-9152 450 539-0404 ASSEMBLEE NATIO"MLE QUÉBEC Normandeau IMMIGRATION CONSULTATION Dianne Normandeau Consultante agréé en immigration canadienne Certified Canadian Immigration Consultant Canadian work permits / intra-company transfers / professional visas Permanent residence through: - skilled workers - investors ___ -professionals -entrepreneurs 1 - self employed - family sponsorship rf )/ Membre de la Société canadranne de consultants en immigration (SCO) IA / > Member of the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC) VK / / C.P./ P.0.Box 3642 Tel.: 450 243-5605 Knowlton (Québec) Cell: 450 204-1537 Canada JOE 1V0 Fax:450 243-6951 dianne@normandeauimmigration.ca www.normandeauimmigrationconsultation.ca page 4'Friday',''October 10,' 200'8 ' ¦nit: RECORD Polls show Paradis ahead in Brome By Rita Legault Sherbrooke Already one of the most hotly contested races in the Eastern Townships, the election in Brome Missisquoi is heating up in the home stretch of the campaign.A poll by Léger Marketing published in La Voix de l’Est and La Tribune early in the campaign showed former MP Denis Paradis had a slight lead over incumbent MP Christian Ouellet.Conservative Mark Quinlan was trailing.With the Liberals rising and the Conservatives slipping in national polls, it appears possible for Paradis to regain what may be the only Liberal seat in the Townships come October 14th.Until last year, the polarization between the separatist Bloc and the federalist Liberals left other parties out in the cold in rural Quebec.But the Conservative party made a partial comeback in Quebec in the last election, and until this past week it looked like it would be winning more seats in La Belle Province.But the wheels fell off that wagon and it now looks more like a traditional battle between the Bloc and the liberals - especially in this riding with the region’s highest percentage of anglophones.Paradis was first elected in 1995 and reelected in 1997, 2000 and 2004.But in 2006 he lost to Ouellet by a whopping 5,000 votes.Paradis blames his 2006 loss on the sponsorship scandal.As Liberals turned away from the party, the split in the federalist vote allowing the Bloc to win.As in past elections, the Bloc appears to be stronger in the Magog area while the Liberals are doing better on the south end of the riding.Paradis said this election Brome-Missisquoi voters have to make two choices: A choice about what kind of society they want to live in and a choice on who they want to send to the House of Commons.Paradis said he has the experience for the job - four mandates totaling 11 years in Ottawa - coupled with a good knowledge of issues in the riding.“I have been close to the people and continue to be close,” he said, noting he is learning a lot every day on the campaign trail.Paradis said his Conservative competitor’s only argument is that he’s going to be in power.That’s no longer a given, said Paradis who argues Conservative leader Stephen Harper handed the Liberals a minority government with his insensitive comments on the economic downturn this week.While Canadians are worried about their shrinking pension funds, he said there would be opportunities to buy stocks while they are undervalued.Realistically, Paradis said that after October 14th, there will be one of two governments - either a Conservative or a Liberal minority.He warns that Prime Minister Stephen Harper did everything he wanted.(Paradis refused to comment on the fact that the Liberals propped up the Tories by voting with the government or failing to show up for votes.) “He’s as dangerous in a minority as in a majority,” Paradis said.“It’s the same damned Harper.” “If your vision of society is a more just, more green, and most prosperous one; that the position of Canada in the world is one of peace, that regional development is important: You vote Liberal.” And he cautioned federalists against voting for anyone else.Paradis said he ran into an English-speaking voter who informed him he did not like the Liberal party, but made it clear he did not want to vote Conservative.“I told him that if he voted for a third party, he would vote for (Bloc leader) Gilles Duceppe.Let’s throw the Bloc out of Brome-Missisquoi.They’re useless.They will never be in power.They are only in a position to criticize.” Christian Ouellet said that rather than presenting a plan for the riding, his opponents are attacking him.He also accused them of climbing aboard his suburban train idea.“They both think my train idea is so good, they have included it in different ways in their own platforms," he said.During the campaign, Paradis along with Shefford candidate Bernard Demers and St-Jean hopeful Claire Ste-Marie, pledged to launch a suburb train project to link Bromont, Cowansville, Farnham, St-Jean-sur-Riche-lieu and Montreal.Quinlan has also said he supports a train.Ouellet, who has been promoting the idea for the past two years, said it was not parachuted in from Ottawa; that it’s a social project born in Brome-Missisquoi.“It will happen because everyone in Brome-Missisquoi wants it,” Ouellet predicts.Ouellet said he has also been working on the idea of an inter-modal station, that is a train station where freight cars can be transferred from trains to trucks and vice versa.He said local business people came to him with the suggestion and he is running with it.The main concern in the riding is the loss of manu-facturingjobs, said Ouellet, who accused Paradis of dropping local industries when he was in power.“Now there is a crisis in manufacturing and a crisis requires help,” he said, noting the Conservatives, with their laissez-faire attitude towards the private sector, won’t be coming to the rescue.Ouellet said Brome-Missisquoi needs a local leader, SEE OUELLET PAGE 14 Conservative It’s time Brome-Missisquoi be in power G Conservative MARK QUINLAN ^ www.markquinlan.ca The economic crisis threatens your investments.Stephen Harper does not have a plan.Layton's plan is unrealistic.The Liberal Party has a plan: An emergency plan to protect your savings.It's your security!

October 10, 2008 page 5 Melbourne United celebrates a century and a half CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE By Claudia Villemaire RECORD CORRESPONDENT Melbourne Ridge For a century and a half the little country church has stood the test of time.This weekend, folks from far and wide, descendants of those first pioneers, will gather to celebrate their ancestors’ determination and faith so well represented in this building where hymns of joy and sorrow, prayers and worship that strengthened has been ongoing for so long.Here babies were baptized, marriages sanctified and deaths mourned.The structure, still standing as it was built in 1858, with its straight-backed plank board seats, the altar rail and pulpit built with lumber har- vested nearby, heated with old-fashioned box stoves that would consume two-foot lengths of wood - everything is as it was the first Sunday the door was opened.“We have done some research on the history of this church,” said Noreen Wilkins, descendant of several generations of worshippers here.Hazel Johnston, member of another pioneering family remembered the Sunday School concerts at Christmas time, the chicken pie suppers that attracted hungry folk from as far away as Sherbrooke, a day’s travel by horse and buggy not that many years ago.“I remember the first time they persuaded me to stand up front and recite a ryhme,” Johnston recalled.“I was petrified, terribly shy and suffering severe stage fright.But we got through it and the next year, it wasn’t so bad.” SEE CHURCH PAGE 12 ski: or the government will close the ski hill.Beauchamp mandated the MRC to lead the reflection after the Liberal government performed an about-face by renouncing plans to privatize a significant chunk of Mount Orford provincial park to the highest bidder.Beauchamp said the MRC had to come up with a solution that will also achieve a wide consensus among the population.After months of meeting with experts and industry analysts, the committee de parrainage has come to a significant conclusion, said Nicolet.“There are not enough revenues generated to cover operational expenses and capital expenses that are needed to invest to make Mount Orford competitive with other ski stations in North America,” he told The Record.Nicolet said that conclusion came after experts looked at the books from operations at Mount Orford during the last decade.“The problem we face is how to find money to do all the work that has to be done,” he said.Nicolet said most of the lifts on Mount Orford are antiquated and need to be replaced.Another has to be moved.Also, the snow making equipment is antiquated and the mountain will have to invest in new snow guns and piping up and down the hill needs to be replaced over the next four or five years, he added.“We have to find a way to reimburse loans that we will have to contract to have the work done.To do so, Nicolet’s committee suggests a fund will have to be created and financed in part by skiers and part by outside developers who would get direct access to the hill through the proposed chairlifts.The MRC is proposing a publicly managed fund that would be managed by the three municipalities most directly involved - that is Orford, Magog and Eastman.The operation board could also have a government representative, he suggests.In order to pay off the fund, Nicolet’s committee is recommending the ski hill operator share a few dollars from the estimated 200,000 ski days - that is individual tickets that are sold during the season.“We’ve done better in good years on the past,” Nicolet said, noting the estimate is realistic.Nicolet said the ski hill would be operated by a private operator, or a cooperative.The Cooperative du Mont Orford would be given the opportunity ot bid on the program like all others, he said.Nicolet said that regardless of the MRC committee’s scenario, two major developments are in the works on privately owned land outside the park - one in Orford just outside the park and the other in Eastman on the south side of the hill.The committee is proposing the development be linked directly to the ski center through a chairlift or gondola.Nicolet notes there are such operations in the United States where offsite developments feed Conservative Party of Canada into ski centers through some kind of special lift or convenience chairs.It was also suggested by developers who own a significant chunk of land on the south side of the mountain in Eastman.“The idea has been floating around for a while, but the lifts need to cross the park and they need authorization from the government,” said Nicolet.Nicolet said that in order to obtain permission to go through the park, the government can make it a condition that development contribute to the fund.Nicolet said to kickstart the fund, the public committee that runs it will require some seed financing -“hence the need to consider borrowing, hopefully from the government.” The next step will be to get approval from the MRC council next week.After that, Nicolet said the proposal will be sent to the government.He remarked it has a good idea of what’s the official proposal since MNA Pierre Reid has sat on the committee as an observer.Liberal www.liberal.ca Reach us at: 450-266-6144 mP-MiSsMu01; >f life ^ical devffeP"’6'” g nt economi f - DENIS PARADIS ANDRÉ BACHAND in SHERBROOKE

too many for a Sunday ride.If you know why all these bikers were driving through town and when let us know by emailing newsroom@sherbrooekrecord.com.Remember, we want your information not your name.Dion is a good leader I remember a day in the Fall of 1976 when Robert Bourassa, then Premier of Québec, decided to call a provincial election, even though his government was only three years into a mandate that by law could have extended up to five years, the legal maximum, and even though there was no real reason given to plunge us into an election and to spend all the taxpayer dollars that accompany an election.Perhaps Bourassa thought that it was a good time, especially since Montreal had just finished hosting the 1976 Summer Olympics.I remember listening to the reaction of the opposition leader, René Lévesque, who said that this was wonderful, because it would give Quebeckers the opportunity to get rid of an arrogant government a full two years sooner, and a little voice told me that perhaps Lévesque was correct.On November 15, the Bourassa Liberals lost the election.Their gamble of going to the polls in order to reload for another five full years had backfired.Here we are in 2008, and I cannot help but see some analogies, although the names of the parties and the leaders are different.Now we have Prime Minster Harper calling a general election well before the legal expiration of his government’s mandate, without any real reason, and this in spite of his law that specifies a fixed four year term of office for a federal government.How many taxpayer dollars will be wasted on this election?But then I think again of the reaction of René Lévesque, and I suggest that we take the same optimistic view.After all, Mr.Harper has called the election so we are now stuck with all the unexpected expense.So it occurs to me that this is the opportunity for Canadians to get rid of this Harper Conservative a full year and a half sooner.We hear that in Québec, the Bloc Québécois is urging voters to vote for them in order to prevent the Conservatives from gaining a majority government, and the latest polls show that in Québec, the Conservatives are in third place in the most recent polls.This is all fine and well, but the Bloc Québécois really should be urging Quebeckers to vote for the Liberals, as the real goal in this election should not be to ensure that Mr.Harper only wins a minority government; rather it should be to deny him the government, period.Quebeckers should be placing their votes with the only Canadian political party that can actually wrest power from the Conservatives, and we all know that is the Liberals.The other parties, mainly the NDP complain that progressive Liberals always say this, but, like it or not, it is the truth.The Conservatives and the Alliance fused into a single party to gather in the right wing and this is how they won the last election, even though they did not have anything close to a majority of the popular vote.They are counting, once again, on the majority of Canadians who do not support their US Bush style policies to split their votes among the Liberals, the NDP, the Greens, and in Québec, the Bloc, and to once again slip by in first place.So when people vote on October 14, the choices are clear.If they want more of Harper US style politics and government, then they should vote Conservative and hope for a Conservative majority (then we will really see their true colours).If, on the other hand, they want a change, and not even a Conservative minority government, then they should think long and hard about the consequences of voting for any other party than the Liberals.I cannot end this letter without mentioning how disgusted I am with the way the Conservatives have used our taxpayer money to attempt to portray Stéphane Dion as not having leadership potential.I am sure your mailboxes have been inundated over the past year with literature from Conservative MPs with a less than flattering picture of Mr.Dion with his hands out to each side.In ridings where the Conservatives were not in power, this literature came from Finance Minister Flaherty.More waste of our taxpayer money.I checked the Conservative Party’s website last night and the same picture is there.This is unwarranted and unjustified dirty politics.In the few days left before October 14, as the polls show that the Conservatives are in trouble in many parts of Canada, we should not be the least surprised to see more dirty US-style negative ads from the Conservatives.Canadians should give Mr.Harper and his band the message in 2008 as Quebeckers gave to Mr.Bourassa back in 1976.No majority, not even a minority government, no reloading for another frill mandate.Hopefully we will have a large voter turnout.By the way, one of your contributors referred to Australia's 96% turnout rate, but let's be aware that in Australia, voting is compulsory, and unlike other jurisdictions where it is also compulsory, in Australia there is strong enforcement.But that is anothe topic for another time.Peter Langford Dunham, Quebec What about October 14?During the 2006 elections, the conservative government promised to increase its foreign aid at the level of other donor countries, thus to raise it to 0.45% of its gross domestic product.It was little and much less than our previous 0.7% commitment, but it seems like it was still too much as we didn’t reach that low target.During this time, 72 million children in the world do not go to school, one of the reasons being they don’t have access to toilets.The investments to provide such toilets to poor populations are very low and would make quite a difference.The access to education, as we know, would allow several populations to climb out of poverty.Conservative governments like Harper’s and organisations like the World Bank and the IMF tend to minimize the extent of poverty in the world.It is naturally a question of also minimizing the damages resulting from our economic system to prove, instead, its efficiency - even if facts and poverty data prove how this system truly generates poverty and inequalities.The goal is to convince rich countries’ citizens that the measures in place gradually eliminate poverty - at home or elsewhere in the world.With their consciousness well asleep, how easy it becomes to exclude fight against poverty from priorities and to slowly focus on military issues and assistance to large companies.What can one do to change this?Maybe to vote, October 14, for a candidate whose party is not sold to the selfish ideals of liberalism and globalization.Bruno Marquis via email ' iTHt: —¦ RECORD P.O.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 516 or 1195 Galt E„ Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax: 819-569-3945 e-maii.:

have to continue working hard and if 1 do, it will go well.The real poll is on election day.” Conservative Mark Quinlan, a longtime political organizer and former candidate for the Canadian Alliance in Sherbrooke, said there are a lot of undecided voters and it could be anyone’s game.Quinlan has his reservations about the Léger Marketing poll which showed no change in the Conservative vote since the last election despite numerous other polls that showed the Tories were gaining ground everywhere in Quebec.He also notes the polls was taken 2 1/2 weeks before there was any real campaigning going on.“The numbers I have show we are in a very tight three-way race," he said.“I’m going to work to the very end.” Quinlan told The Record that in the last election 62 per cent of electors voted for a federalist party.The Bloc got 38 per cent of the vote.“In this election people are saying it will be a Conservative government,” he said, arguing voters want Brome-Mis-sisquoi to be in power again.“People here are saying we can be in opposition with one of four different parties or in power with Mark Quinlan.” Quinlan said his message of standing up for the English community is going over well and he is counting on their support.“My message for the English-speaking community is we need to build on our institutions and be positive towards the future.Make sure that young people feel at home here and have a future.” When asked to explain what he means by that, he says: “It’s not just about playing defense, but playing offense and doing something.” When asked what he will do concretely to support that pledge, Quinlan says the English community needs jobs and he will support projects that create jobs for bilingual people.He used Magog’s annual La Traversée, which attracts tourists from the United States and all over Canada, as an example “Where are our young anglophones?Why are we not participating in this international event where young bilingual people are an asset?” When asked about funding cuts to La Traversée funding under the Conservatives, Quinlan uses the issue to attack incumbent Bloc MP Ouellet.“This is an example of what 1 would do differently,” he said, noting he would get to work on files right away to maximize funding instead of trying to react after the file has been rejected.“That’s an advantage of being in government.You have access to ministers.“No one looked into the (Traversée) file from a political point of view,” he charged, noting programs had changed and Ouellet did little more than download the application and bring it to organizers of the annual event.“If you’re more pro-active, you can get things done effectively.” Quinlan also noted that Ouellet had recently insulted Canadian Heritage Minister Josée Verner.“Maybe he was not comfortable talking to her.” Aside from supporting a train to Mon- RITA LEGAULT Denis Paradis.: treal, Quinlan said he wants to do something about telecommunications in the southern part of the riding along the border where cell phone often don’t work and there is no access to high speed Internet.“There are funds in our infrastructure plan that would allow for some government intervention,” he said.Mostly, he said ideas have to come from the community.“I’m sending the message I’d be willing to help them.Former Conservative candidate turned independent David Marier is not in the race to win.He’s mainly running “to see Parliament operate in a more dignified and democratic fashion.” The Knowlton lawyer said his message is being received and that the response have been positive.Marier also says the Léger poll was taken too early, before anyone was aware he was in the race.“It’s irrelevant, as far as I’m concerned.” Marler’s view is that the Bloc is in the lead and that the Conservatives don’t stand a chance.But he said but there is a huge number of undecided voters in the last days of the campaign.“Even those who thought they would vote one way are scratching their heads,” he said, noting many are saying they don’t like Harper and aren’t sure about the Liberal leader.“In that context, anything could happen,” he said, noting that with the current uncertainty voters may well park their vote with the Bloc “sort of like parking your investments in cash to wait to see what happens.” “Tile Bloc won’t help us, but they won’t do us any harm," he opined.In a six-way race with three possible frontrunners the other factor that needs to be considered is how the other candidates will fare.Will Marier, who came in third with 9874 votes in the 2004 election, steal votes away from Quinlan?And with the NDP and the Green party leaders performing well at the national level, how will their local candidates Pierre Brassard and Christelle Bogosta do?Will they steal much needed federalist votes from Paradis and Quinlan, or will they hurt the left-leaning Bloc and Christian Ouellet.In a tight race where every vote counts, support for third parties and independent candidates can make a difference. m « f ¦»* ^ Fruiay, October -1 -200H page 9 jœcord; CHAMPLAIN REGIONAL COLLEGE Hogg answers to concerns in Stanstead By Nancy Nourse Record Correspondent Liberal Candidate William Hogg was in the Stanstead area last Thursday, October 2, for two reasons: to share his views as a Liberal candidate for the riding and to investigate for himself exactly what was happening on the Border that was causing such a stir among local residents.To the amazement and frustration of many, the CBSA had begun installing a signalized gate system near the route 143 Border Customs on Dufferin Street.Frustrations rose out of the clear disregard for the sisterly relationship that Stanstead resident have had with their counterpart in Derby Line for more years than most can remember and the fact that there is a solid restoration project in the downtown area of Stanstead being undertaken by both the Town and private businessmen.The two communities share not only the water services but also mutual aid agreements that have almost as much history as the Border itself.Many families have relatives on both sides of the Border, work daily in the ‘neighbouring country’ and attend churches and social activities, both young and old.While similar concerns have previously been brought up concerning a determination by both the US and Canadian governments, especially since 9-11, to increase security along their common borders, neither Derby Line, Vt.nor Stanstead (the two towns directly affected by this new gate system) had ever asked for, or felt the need for such measures.At one meeting, Karen Jennings, (Trustee of Derby Line, Vt) mentioned that increased security measures (increased identification when crossing border) had caused lengthy line-ups that had also created safety issues.The fact that the road linking the Canadian and the U.S.Customs, on Route 5, is by no means a straight road but has a rather steep hill sitting smack-dab in the middle of the problem of stalled traffic.While the problem is bad enough in the summer, everyone was dreading the onset of winter and the necessity of stopping either at the peak of or in the middle of a steep hill that is serviced by maintenance crews from both sides of the Border (the actual border marker sits at the bottom of the hill, just after you cross the bridge on the Canadian side).The actual distance between the two ports of entry (Canadian and US) is a walking distance of about 5 minutes - also explains the line-ups which block businesses well into both border towns.If this is the reason behind the questionable location of the new gates, it is indeed a questionable decision that is not very popular with local citizens.“We may have had problems with line-ups crossing the Border since 9-11 but putting in a gate like this one, at this location, is, in my opinion, no solution.While it may take care of the lineup problems, it will most certainly also discourage business and social relations between the two countries.I, for one, am a member of the Stanstead Fire De- NANCY NOURSE Liberal candidate William Hogg.partment and we have a mutual aid agreement with our southern neighbours.I can not see wasting valuable time waiting for a signal barrier to open when we have been called to a fire.We take the service that we provide very seriously.1 don’t think that this decision was very well thought out”, commented Chris Goodsell, a firefighter and businessman.William Hogg listened attentively to what the residents of Stanstead had to say.He said that he could easily understand their frustrations on various levels.He did give his personal opinion on the matter but as a candidate he felt that there was little that he could do except pass on the information to those in his party who were already in parliament.He vowed to do everything that he could if he was elected to not only familiarize himself with small town issues such as this that could have a much larger impact on the economy of the entire region but do what he could to relay the concerns of his constituents which could help prevent decisions like this from being taken in the first place.Hogg also raised the question regarding the fact that BQ- Deputy France Bon-sant, stated publicly that she was unaware of such a decision by the Canadian Government/CBSA and certainly would have not been in favour of the project if she had been informed.She had also appeared to be trying to lay the blame for this decision on the back of MNA Pierre Reid who only sits at the provincial level of Quebec government.She had remained firm in her opinion that all Canadian borders would be more secure if the Canadian Government had not closed so many regional RCMP offices.Local residents left the gathering feeling content that their concerns had been heard but not totally sure whether anything could be done to change the mind of the Canadian Government on the issue.OPEN

Motorcyclist out of danger MTQback on Jacques Cartier bridge A motorcyclist who was involved in a serious accident on Route 143 between Bromptonville and Windsor Wednesday is out of danger and expected to make a full recovery, say police.The biker was hit head on by an oncoming car that has just passed another vehicle.The driver of the car was also slightly injured.Sherbrooke police spokesman Martin Carrier said police are still looking for the driver of the car that was passed.The motorist is not in trouble, police just want to ask him about the accident, said Carrier.The accident occurred around 7 a.m.on a stretch of road near the intersection of Chemin Soucy, said Carrier.The road, which runs along the St-Francis River, was dry but it was foggy and the sun was strong.Transport Quebec was back on the Jacques Cartier Bridge yesterday to begin another five days of inspections that continue today and next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.The bridge, which is still closed to vehicles over five tonnes, will be inspected using a boom lift, more commonly known as a cherry picker.The inspections will cause one lane to be closed, but light traffic will still be able to cross the bridge in both directions.Transport Quebec spokeswoman Hélène Beauchesne said the new inspections consists of an electromagnetic procedure that will provide scientific data to analyze the structural capacity of the bridge.An earlier visual inspection of the support beams was done, but structural engineers at Transport Quebec demanded the new tests, said Beauchesne.Results of the tests will be sent to the Direction des structures of the Transport Ministry in Quebec City for analysis.Construction work was planned for the bridge this fall, but may be delayed depending on the results of the tests, said Beauchesne.“It will depend on the verdict following the analysis," she said, noting the bridge is perfectly safe for regular traffic, “we would have taken absolutely no chances if there was any kind of risk.Following inspections in May, cracks in some of the support beams were discovered and the bridge was closed from May 11th to June 2nd.Further tests reveled the bridge was safe for traffic, but engineers restricted trucks and vehicles over five tonnes, said Beauchesne.Last week.Transport Quebec called off a press conference to discuss the results of a series of structural inspections that began in May.OCTOBER 2008 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 This Tuesday, vote.A federal general election is taking place on October 14, 2008.ES.SEiEj3fi : Star srssx-

a suspicious fire in a trailer that was parked on Chemin du Maine Central in Bury.Police believe the trailer, which was used by hunters, was set afire sometime around 5:30 Wednesday afternoon.“There are indications at the scene that lead us to believe it’s arson,” said Sûreté du Quebec spokesman Louis-Philippe Ruel.Police believe a hunting dispute maybe at the origin of the blaze.The trailer was not a huge loss.Po-lice estimate the value at about $2,000.What the.?I guess they have their hands full on this one.Police in southwestern Florida are looking for a suspect as someone in the area is lifting and separating large numbers of bras from local Victoria’s Secret stores.Since February, 452 bras, valued at over $19,000 have been taken from two local outlets.Laura Petty, a manager at one of the stores involved told police that a female with Latino and Asian features standing 5T” and weighing approximately 140 lbs walked off with 160 of the booby traps while staff were busy.That haul is valued at $6,000.Given that this represents considerably more support than any one woman would need, police believe the series of thefts is part of a black lace market scheme of some sort.“The particular item certainly could have its value on the black market,” said Sheriffs Office spokesman Sgt.Larry King.The theft marks the sixth in a series of robberies to hit the lingerie chain’s local outlets, the most recent involving 36 bras sized 38C.D and DD.3700 male police officers are now searching frantically for the suspect in this one.They are hoping for a bust soon, but realize that the

Peter Jarvis (they played for 4 hours all over campus from Reid street to the Tim Hortons in the Loft) Alyson Rowe's alma mater did not let her down.Bishop’s University students danced, performed skits or played musical instruments throughout what turned out to be a cold and windy day on the 2nd of October - there was even a bit of rain — and raised more than $1,000 during an event called Busking for Change.The money is going to Rowe’s employer, War Child Canada, a registered charity and internationally recognized non-governmental agency that helps children affected by war around the world.“I'm so proud of them,” Rowe says of her friends at BU.Out of nine campuses involved in Busking for Change - all the others are larger than Bishop’s! - the Lennoxville crew raised the most money.“They’re one of the most active groups in Canada right now.” It was Rowe who got everything started at Bishop’s, though she never saw it coming.She ended up in Lennoxville be cause of her grade 8 teacher in Toronto, a BU graduate who recommended the campus."I went for a tour and fell in love with it,” says Rowe.She enrolled in a double major, graduating last June with BAs in Etudes françaises and Secondary Education.She had wanted to become a high school teacher.“But I grew more fond of global education, international development, peace education.and it was through exposure to that field that I discovered where my passion lay.” (The exposure came thanks to professor Lisa Taylor, who won a teaching award last year in the Education faculty.) Rowe’s involvement in the SRC (the Students’ Representative Council) included a stint as the Education Senator on Senate, the university’s highest academic decision-making body.She helped fundraise or organize for a series of good works, from the Rick Mercer/Belinda Stronach charity Spread the Net (buying nets to keep malaria-carrying mosquitoes away from children at night time); to the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research, to co-directing last year’s annual Catwalk for the Stars fashion show in support of the MS Society of Canada.That’s just a partial list.“I used my education at Bishop’s and my experience fundraising and working with governing bodies to gain practical experience which directly influenced my choice in career path and the direction I wanted to take after graduation.” She invited Dr.Samantha Nutt, the co-founder of War Child Canada, to speak at Bishop’s last year, and the pair became friends.Rowe went on to volunteer for War Child Canada for an internship after graduation, then was hired full-time.The new manager of public outreach is also managing the campus outreach program, with just under 200 campuses across the continent currently involved.But only nine Busked for Change.“As soon as 1 started I contacted everyone who had yet to graduate [from BU], all of my friends, asking them to use their time and connections to get a Bishop’s University War Child chapter going.” Student Melissa Legault heads the Bishop’s club, and members called Rowe at midnight on the day-of, to excitedly tell her about their financial coup, raising a stunning $1048.27 with some 15 buskers on campus for a few hours (they included a bagpiper, acoustic guitar players, a didgeridoo player, a tap dancer, bands, and comedy acts).“I’m just so proud of Bishop’s, to be connected with them.I passed their photos all around the office.That’s what Bishop’s is all about,” says Rowe.Busking for Change began with a single musician who raised money on the streets of Toronto last year for War Child Canada — Raine Maida, of Our Lady Peace.This year it became a larger, organized event involving amateurs and professionals across the country (including Our Lady Peace and some 50 other musical acts in Toronto alone).Rowe doesn’t know how much has been raised yet - the money is still coming in from online donations.To donate on behalf of the Bishop’s group, go to https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/pers onalPage.aspx?EventID=21204&Registra tionID=536901 .GOING GREEN Half a dozen Bishop’s University students attended last weekend’s Sierra Youth Coalition Sustainable Campuses conference, held in Sherbrooke.“I’m just passionate about the environment,” says Cate Collinson, a fourth year Environmental Studies student originally from Newmarket, Ontario.“I grew up around people who are passionate about the environment, who love outdoor recreation, who appreciate nature.And that was passed on to me.” And so Collinson’s work - as a student in environmental studies - is also what she does for fun, as an executive member of the Bishop’s University Environment Club.“Knowledge is the most powerful thing,” says Collinson.“This weekend’s conference was basically outreach to universities across Canada, about how to make your campus more environmentally sustainable.” The intimate gathering of some 60 people featured seminars that gave out concrete information and tools on how to change the world.There was talk of encouraging students to compost, and teaching them PHOTOS COURTESY OF BU WAR CHILD Graham Stewart and Jeff Farrell (they started the day off at 9:30 a.m.at the arches).how to do it.Of starting a campaign to stop the sale of bottled water on campus (critics say buying endless plastic bottles is bad for the environment), and getting people to recycle paper and cans and bottles.“When the 17-year-old age group arrives on campus, they really do care about the environment, but they don’t know where to start.So it’s a challenge sometimes to engage the student body,” says Collinson.Education and communication campaigns were also tackled at the gathering.“One thing we did all come away with from the conference was how inspiring it was to know there are so many people out there working together on the same issues.It can be daunting when we see what has to change, but we can actually get people to change by connecting with each other and sharing ideas on what works.It was really inspiring.” The club also works with other sympathetic groups and clubs on campus, such as the Social Ecology Club and the Sustainable Development Action Group.“We have to get together, and make everything happen!" says Collinson.“Not only was this a conference for the natural environment,” adds Collinson, “but it was also about the social environment.We had an anti-oppression workshop, for example.” Those skills and information will be shared on the BU campus, as well.Bishop’s Environmental Awareness Week is Nov.3 to 7, and the 30-odd members of the Environmental Club will be getting together soon to start planning it.You can contact the BU Environmental Club through Facebook, online.Submitted by the Bishop’s SRC (Student Representative Council) The blessings of a thousand thanks!

RECORD Friday, October 10, 2008 page 26 Your Birthday Friday, Oct 10,2008 The year ahead could be one of breaking down what is no longer working and replacing things with a new structure.Although you might seek change, lessons learned the hard way should guide your choices and decisions.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Don’t be reluctant to pitch in and help out with a situation another is struggling to handle.Not only will you do a good job; you’ll end up protecting your interests in the process.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - Your sixth sense will be fully operational, so if you get any hunches or instincts about something, follow through.More than one might prove to be rewarding.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -There could be a quiet force stirring within you, which more than one person will recognize.The great drive you now possess will alert others not to take you lightly.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) -Should seed money be required in order to prime the pump, review all pertinent information first and then take the necessary steps to get things moving again.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Having harmonious associates will enhance your possibilities for success.If you have a choice, be sure to select cohorts who share your hopes and objectives.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — No one has to tell you to keep your intentions to yourself.You’re smart enough to know that prematurely talking about something can throw a monkey wrench into the mix.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A realization of how much your views of the world have changed might hit you at this time.What you do with your new insights is up to you, but continue to keep your actions positive.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — The stirrings taking place around you will work to your ultimate advantage.If these changes are affecting your work or career, some interesting occurrences could come out of them.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) —Your judgment is especially good at this time, so don’t entertain any self-doubts.First, study what is at hand and then move forward with a plan of action.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — A coworker who likes you might be privy to some valuable information and share it with you.Be sure to handle this knowledge with great care, so you don’t lose the advantage it provides.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) - You know better than most that diplomacy and tact are the tools of choice when dealing with difficult people or situations.You will use this knowledge well and end up with a smile on your face.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Although you might not get out of the starting blocks too quickly, once you do, you’ll make up for lost time and pick up momentum as you advance toward the finish line.Saturday, Oct.11,2008 There will be a number of outstanding opportunities that could advance your causes in the year ahead, but only if you jump on them at the outset.If you’re not careful, unexpected and unusual developments could derail them.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Go out and have a good time with friends, but be cognizant about how much you’re spending, or this could turn out to be a rather expensive day.Get dollar value for every buck you spend.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) — Be particularly careful about how you handle a development that requires extreme tact.Don’t merely react.Stop and think about the consequences of the words you speak.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -Don’t be tempted to get involved in any type of clandestine affair, because it will later prove to be your undoing.Kidding yourself that there won’t be repercussions is foolish.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Be sure to keep your priorities in order, because it might be far too easy to devote more time than you should on frivolous interests and never complete what is truly important to you.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) - False hopes could lead to establishing objectives that are unrealistic and destined to fail.Before you begin your quest, be certain that you’re not chasing a phantom dream.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Although you might be extremely competent handling most situations, social interactions will be another story, especially if you have unwarranted suspicions about another.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you’re not careful, a misunderstanding could take place with a friend over money.Keep everything aboveboard, so you’ll have nothing to hide should a pal question you about funds.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - An alliance founded upon a flimsy premise could fall apart, but remember, if there is no substance to it, there is nothing to salvage.Just let it go.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you can only focus on excuses as to why your assigned work in unfinished, you won’t be able to advance your own interests.Spend your time cleaning things up.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Mixing business with pleasure is called for sometimes, but this isn’t likely to be one of those times.Keep your sales pitch to yourself when out with friends, especially if you want to have fun.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — Be exceptionally cautious when shopping for any expensive item.Just because something has a high price tag doesn’t always guarantee a happy purchase.Be sure to check the warranty.t VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Making assumptions about plans with others could leave you out in the cold.Check early on with those you want to join to make sure you are included in the outing.Sunday, Oct 12,2008 More than the normal amount of changes that usually take place in your life might be in the offing in the year ahead.In fact, several of them might occur simultaneously and make things better for you concurrently.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Participating in something enjoyable is apt to take precedence over a promise or obligation you made.Be careful that you don’t let down someone who is banking on you.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - Some of the greatest resistance you’ll encounter is likely to come from the very people you’re trying to help.When you recognize this, keep it to yourself.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - This is one of those days when that what you do in tandem with a friend could put you at odds with one another.It might be wiser to operate independently of any strong-willed person.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - You might experience a little luck, but don’t try to stretch it beyond Lady Luck’s limitations.If you do, that rubber band is likely to snap and take down your entire house of cards.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Even if you are a risk-taker at times like everyone else, don’t jump in on a dare or because someone else is pushing you.When the odds are against you, there’s a good reason for it.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — In order to quit early, you may do a half-job on something, telling yourself it’s good enough.Unfortunately, you may have to do it all over again tomorrow.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — There could be some kind of conflict between your logic and your instincts.To be on the safe side, go with the facts at hand, even if you don’t have all of them.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - You’ll get much further by being nice to people instead of challenging their thoughts or deeds.No one likes a know-it-all — so, even if you think you’re right, keep mum.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) —Your judgment is a bit questionable, so when you’re rewarding people for a job well done, do so in proportion to the facts and not because of something another told you.CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Someone who thinks you can’t be trusted with keeping secrets might lay a trap for you.Be careful not to talk about anyone or discuss anything told to you in confidence.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — A friend may come to you with an exceptionally good proposition.However, if you listen to it a second time, you might find exaggerations in the deal.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) - People who are usually supportive may be in a negative mood.If this is the case, they will hinder you.Only depend on yourself, even if it is more difficult going it alone.Monday, Oct.13,2008 A new opportunity for growth might breath new life into your affairs in ways that will improve your financial picture and your standing in the community.It might come from a collective effort, so be prepared to pitch in.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Be particularly cognizant of your behavior, especially when dealing with a valued relationship.Any thoughtless behavior on your part could create an infraction difficult to dismiss.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - Carefully supervise any critical work being performed for you, because there is a good chance a major mistake might take place that would be extremely costly to fix.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - It’s to no avail to take an unpopular position against your friends or associates.It won’t prove a thing; all it means is that everyone will come down on you at the same time.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Domestic disturbances must not be permitted to leave the confines of your home.The worse thing you can do is to make it public and invite all kinds of kibitzers into the squabble.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Don’t be surprised if it seems as if everything you say is being challenged by associates — so don’t say anything for which you don’t have irrefutable proof to silence the disbelievers.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — An individual who has heard you say things about him or her may challenge your statements.You’d better be prepared to have some good answers ready.ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Be careful about speaking for your mate about something you hadn’t discussed.There’s a strong chance he or she will feel the opposite way and be upset that you interfered.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You might discover that you still haven’t learned a lesson from a recent mistake when you once again encounter the same type of situation.Stop and think before you respond.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Unless you select companions with extreme care, you could be tainted by another person’s reputation and be tarred by the same brush.Even if you are blameless, you’ll be guilty by association.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You tend to be a creature of habit, which is good up to a point.When others are saying that you’re doing something the hard way, their advice is likely to be ignored.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — The way you treat others is exactly the way you will be treated, so ifyou insist upon being argumentative and uncooperative, you can expect the same flaws to be prevalent in companions.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Make sure that a big-ticket purchase is fully backed in writing with guarantees and warranties.There’s a strong chance something about the product might not be right.
