14.2008 Vallieres remains neutral on proposed mega-dump Project opposed by Danville mayor and others By Stephen McDougall RECORD CORRESPONDENT Asbestos Provincial Liberal candidate Yvon Vallieres has declared himself neutral in the controversy over a proposed high-tech waste dump at the Jeffrey mine.In an interview at his campaign office, Vallieres said he would let the residents of his riding decide if the dump should go through or not.“There is still a lot of information needed about this project before residents can decide on this issue,” he said.“A citizen’s committee has been formed and the local mayors are constantly debating this.I believe it will be decided here, not in Montreal or Quebec City.” The private dump project is being proposed by Jeffrey Mine president Bernard Coulombe and sponsored by Maybach Inc., a Montreal firm run by the Remillard waste management family.The project would see up to 850,000 tons of garbage per year trucked in from other townships and Montreal., and dumped in the mine’s waste tailing area.The promoters argue the garbage will produce large amounts of methane gas for sale to local industries.SEE PROJECT PAGE 4 .7 .Waste not wanted Sherbrooke opts out By Rita Legault Sherbrooke ¦ ¦ «he City of Sherbrooke has split with Magog and other Memphremagog municipalities seeking a regional solution for waste dis-JL posai.Currently, Sherbrooke and a half dozen MRCs are cooperating on a regional sorting center for recyclables.Some Estrie-area MRCs and municipalities have created or signed deals to dispose of the rest of their waste with regional landfills that meet more stringent waste disposal regulations that come into effect in January.The Conférence régionale des élus de l’Estrie (CRE-Estrie) was working with a the remaining municipalities to find a regional solution for whatever residual waste was left.The CRE-Estrie, which was mandated by Sherbrooke, Magog, Orford Township, the Val-St-François MRC and the Régie intermunicipale d’élimination des matières résiduelles des Sources to find candidates for the treatment of residual waste, sent out a call for tenders seeking finalists that met certain conditions set by the regional partners, explained CRE chairman Roger Nicolet.SEE WASTE PAGE 5 Small service, big tributes PHOTOS BY DAVID STANGER Leading the Georgeville Remembrance Day service, held

Hatley Township has been charged setting two criminal fires, including one which did some $200,000 in damage to the ski chalet at Montjoye in July of 2007.David Rouillard, 28, was arraigned yesterday at the Sherbrooke courthouse on two charges of arson, including one for the Montjoye blaze and another for a fire he allegedly set in an apartment on Saint-Laurent Street in Drummondville in September.The fire at Montjoye completely destroyed the ticket office.The one in Drummondville was caught early and firefighters managed to limit the destruction of an apartment building with 30 units.According to Sûreté du Quebec spokesman Louis-Philippe Ruel, Rouillard helped fight both blazes.During the first, he was a volunteer firefighter in Hatley Township.During the second, he was employed by the fire department in Drummondville.He was no longer working for the Drummondville fire department when he was arrested on Wednesday, back in the employ of the Hatley Township volunteer force.Charges were laid Thursday following a six-month investigation by detectives at the Sherbrooke detachment of the Sûreté du Québec.SEE ARSON ON PAGE 10 CHSLD Santé Courville Quality Care de

Memories — I.Lloyd George Part 4 With the permission of Lloyd's son Chris, I would like to share with fellow readers, especially those that have ties with the Milby area, a few chapters taken from this most interesting book, an autobiography written by the late Lloyd George, born in Milby August 15,1922 and who passed away April 9, 2008 in Picton, Ontario.He was the son of the late Charles Hector (Tupper) George and Mabel Glass George, brother of Irene Hadlock and Allan and of the late Gwen, Grace, Kathleen, Eddie and John.Husband of the late Eleanor Brett Trenholme.Loving father of four children: Bruce, Christopher, Dawn and Maria.A copy of this book was donated to our Little Hyatt One-Room Schoolhouse following the burial of Lloyd’s ashes in the St.Barnabas Anglican Cemetery in Milby, as written in the preface, “Lloyd would be pleased to know his book would be back here”.Chris has informed me that if enough readers are interested in acquiring a copy of this book (220 pages), the family would consider another printing.Bev Loomis Chapter 2: The Farm Our family’s farm in Milby was located on the east side of Moe’s river.The river ran from south to north, and joined the

Here’s just a bit about my Dad.He had been a Major in the 55 Regiment in Inverness and on 21 June,1910 the regiment was in Camp at Levis, Quebec, living in tents.Dad was unable to go to camp because of his marriage to my mother, Mabel Glass, on 22 June, 1910.The bride and groom were honeymooning in Quebec City when, on Friday 24 June, they were honoured at dinner in the regimental Officers’ Mess tent at Levis.Here they were presented with a wedding gift from the Regiment.Just imagine interrupting your honeymoon for a wedding gift! I’m not sure how they travelled from Quebec, across the river to Levis and then to the Army Camp.I don’t think Dad had a car then.Maybe the army sent a mule for them.While Dad was a farmer, he also ran his own insurance agency just as his father had.Because of this, he had to always have a hired man to help him on the farm.Our hired men were a mixed group, and each one was an interesting study in character.In the 1920s, they were paid about $30.00 per month and given room and board.In the 1930s, things were different.They were then paid $20.00 a month but were still fed at my Mother's table.Here they are listed in sequence of their employment on our farm.1.George Pocock -1915 &1919.In 1914/15, Dad sold the family farm in Inverness and moved to Milby.George Pocock was the first hired man in Milby.He worked on the farm in 1915 until he was called up in the army.Then Dad had to go it alone.After the war, George came back and worked until 1925.He was known as a homeboy or an English foundling (orphan) who was sent to Canada to work, or as the Limeys would say, ‘the colonies’ from an orphanage.He considered Dad and Mother his saviours.He returned to the old farm in 1990 from Edmonton and with the new owners’ permission, went up to his old room, which brought up a lot of memories.He told my brother John that he hadn’t married until age 40 and proceeded to father 8 children.He chuckled over the fact that he was drawing the baby bonus and the old age pension at the same time.Quite a singular achievement if I do say so!

Briefs Tailgaters to be prosecuted The Quebec Ministry of Transport is advising the public that as winter weather approaches, the Sûreté du Quebec will be extra vigilant in enforcing regulations regarding what it considers among the most common dangerous driving practices of some motorists.The Ministry is particularly concerned about drivers who fail to take proper precautions in their interactions with snow removal vehicles.We are reminded that snow removal vehicles are limited by regulation to approximately 50 km/hr.In dealing with the most common infractions, the Ministry is reminding motorists that the following fines, fees and penalties are applicable: Dangerous driving: $430, 4 demerit points Inappropriate speed: $95, 2 demerit points Tailgating: $151, 2 demerit points Passing on the right: $270, 3 demerit points.Don’t forget the traction The Ministry of Transport is reminding citizens that as of December 15th all passenger vehicles, including taxis and rentals must have four winter tires to be legal on the road.Drivers are warned that there will be no grace period and that fines may range between $200 and $300.No demerit points are associated with this kind of infraction.Canadians awarded Kyoto Prize The Kyoto Prize, awarded by the Inamori Foundation, was granted for the first time to a Canadian philosopher and a biologist during a week of ceremonies that began November 9th in Kyoto Japan.Dr.Charles Taylor, a Montreal-based philosopher and professor emeritus at McGill University, was honoured for his constructing of a “social philosophy that actively pursues the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultures”, according to a statement on the foundation’s North American Prize website - kyotoprize.org.Dr.Anthony Pawson is a molecular biologist at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute of Mount Sinai Hospital and a professor at the University of Toronto.He was recognized for his work on how human cells communicate with one another.His studies have furthered the understanding of a number of diseases, including cancer, diabetes and immune disorders.Taylor and Pawson are the first Kyoto Prize laureates from Canada.They accepted their separate awards during a ceremony in Kyoto,.Laureates receive a diploma, a medal of 20-karat gold, and a cash gift of 50 million yen, roughly $590,000 Cdn.The Kyoto Prize was founded in 1985 and is Japan’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize and is awarded to laureates for their contribution in the scientific, cultural and spiritual betterment of humankind.— ¦ h THE ¦ h JŒCORD Friday, November 14, Don’t miss

friendly Scott Woods Old Time Christmas show.The show features eight performers including a champion step dancer, and of course fiddling sensation Scott Woods also known as “the man with the flying fingers and the magic bow”, Woods has a keen sense of timing and a sharp wit that will keep you on your toes.The band consists of piano, bass, drums, guitar, and 2 fiddlers.Wood’s sister, the other fiddler in the group, also plays accordion and sings, as does the guitarist.A featured vocalist with a warm rich voice sings the familiar seasonal songs like Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Christmas in Killarney, Let it Snow and more.Together, they stir up a storm of good music to lift your heart and feed your soul.Woods will be performing his trick fiddling as well.“I will step dance and play the fiddle at the same time,” wrote Woods.“Turn somersaults, play behind my back & under my legs.” This fast-paced two-hour concert skilfully combines old time fiddling with country gospel songs, perennial favourites, and a generous helping of humour.Woods has performed to enthusiastic crowds throughout Canada, the U.S.and in Holland, according to a recent press release.Woods, who started playing classical music at the age of four, has many won many awards.He is two-time winner of the Canadian Open Fiddle Contest, a two-time Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Champion, and has been named the Canadian Fiddle Entertainer of the year.PHOTO COURTESY OF SCOTT WOODS I have had The Scott Woods Band come to Richmond for the past two years,” wrote Phyllis Crack who is helping to

convict served 25 months on drug-trafficking and conspiracy charges.Lapointe, who walked free Tuesday, described his life in prison as “hell”.He complained about the lack of facilities adapted to his needs, citing an undersized bed, chairs he can’t sit on and a shower that made washing impossible.When 37-year-old Lapointe was sentenced in May, a judge reduced his prison term by six months because of the weight-related hardships endured during his 20 months of detention after his arrest.Lapointe was rejected by two halfway =RECORD: houses because they said they couldn’t accommodate someone his size.He will have to follow a series of conditions, such as finding a job, avoiding bars and regularly meeting with a parole officer over the next three months.The Quebec Parole Board cited Lapointe’s health, as well as good behaviour, non-violent crime and the support of his mother and wife, in justifying early release.Lapointe has filed a complaint with the Quebec Human Rights Commission.”His rights were violated because he wasn’t given the tools to rehabilitate himself,” Lapointe’s lawyer Clemente Monterosso stated to media.“He deserved to be treated with dignity and humanity.” At the time of his arrest Lapointe weight 375 pounds.Career A Journey to Remember coming to Georgeville In March of 2008, filmmaker Louise Abbott and photographer Niels Jensen were privileged to accompany an extended Cree family on a two-week trip into the bush near Lac Deschamps in the James Bay region of Quebec.This winter journey was the family’s last time together on their traditional trapline, which will be flooded by the diversion of the Rupert River by Hydro-Quebec in the spring of 2009.Middle-aged family mem- Robert Saganash and Niels Jensen on the Waswanipi bers wanted to commemorate River.the lives of the family patriarch and his wife, who had survived for decades on the land before the development of year-round Cree communities.They also wanted to transmit the knowledge of traditional skills to the younger generation.During the journey, Abbott and Jensen lived in a communal tent and worked in temperatures that plummeted to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit.They documented all the activities that took place, ranging from beaver trapping and ice fishing to scraping skins and making bannock.Abbott and Jensen will share their experiences up north in a presentation titled “A Journey to Remember” —a multi-media presentation of video clips and digital photographs —on Saturday, November 15th at 4:00 p.m.at the Murray Memorial Hall in Georgeville.Tickets for the event,

values.Danville mayor Jacques Hemond and five other towns in the Des Sources municipal regional council oppose the project, while Asbestos mayor Jean-Philippe Bachand backs the plan.Part of the project, a $15 million methane plant, is presently awaiting approval from provincial environment minister Line Beauchamp in hopes of starting construction next spring.Vallieres said he was not influenced by a poll last week that indicated half of the MRC residents approve of the project.The poll was conducted by the CBC-Radio Canada office in Sherbrooke along with the Tribune newspaper last week.It asked 504 residents and had a margin of error of 4.3 percent.“I know this project has an impact be yond my riding, but I want to see local people make their own choice.This means they need more information be cause this project is still in a state of evolution.” Vallieres made the remarks after launching his campaign for re-election in the Richmond riding.He has been the member for Richmond in the provincial legislature for 30 years, having won nine of his last 10 campaigns.He read a long list of government in- frastructure projects he wants for the riding, including over $10 million in road and bridge repairs, high speed internet cabling, more day care spaces, senior home upgrades and a regional park for the town of Ham-Sud.He defended the slow pace of a government project to establish a public-private rest stop complex for the 55 provincial highway in Melbourne, arguing it was a pilot project that needed lots of consultation with local officials.The project was announced in 2005 and construction of the new stop will not start until next spring.“We had to get approval from the area towns and the businesses that might be affected by it,” he said.“This delay will not be repeated with other projects we want to work on.” Despite the present minority Liberal government, Vallieres appeared confident of being re-elected a tenth time.His main opponent, former Action Democratic candidate Pierre Hebert, anounced last week he would not run again for the party.Hebert faced off against Vallieres in the 2003 and 2007 elections, garnering 8,179 votes in the 2007 campaign versus 11,257 for Vallieres.The new ADQ candidate is Jean Philippe Hamel, a college student from Warwick.The Parti Québécois candidate for this election is Martine Prévost, who received 5,485

page 5 Tough times hit recycling industry too By Rita Legault Shlrbkooke p"| '^e collapse of commodities prices has caused a nosedive in the global recycled materials market and that could soon affect the regional sorting centre in Sherbrooke which serves a half dozen of the Estrie region’s MRCs.The Centre de tri et de récupération de la région sherbrookoise is taking a financial hit like other recycling centres, said the chairman of the intermunicipal board, Jean-François Rouleau.But thanks to healthy profits in the past months, the intermunicipal centre will not end the year in the red.“The regional centre made a major profit so far so we will not finish this year with a loss,” Rouleau told the Record.“Our financial status is good.” The regional sorting centre is doing a lot better than others, said Rouleau.“But the situation is really deteriorating,” he said, noting prices have dropped since early November.Rouleau said the centre had hoped to reinvest surpluses in operations, but with Waste: Some partners, including Sherbrooke, decided to opt out of the process.“What is cancelled is the next step,” said councillor Jean-François Rouleau, who chairs Sherbrooke’s sustainable development committee.“Our goal now is to try and create jobs and keep the residual waste here in the region.” Rouleau said the sustainable development committee has decided to seek out municipal partners interested in working together and investing in a technology and a centre to treat the waste here.“Then we will look at what’s the best deal for our citizens,” he said, noting Sherbrooke and its new partners could consider final-ists from the CRE tendering process.“Personally, I’m open to anything.” Rouleau said Sherbrooke is trying to define what kind of legal structure is needed for municipal partners to run a technical landfill that would meet new government rules for technically superior landfills that come into effect in January 2009.The new inter-municipal structure could resemble Sherbrooke’s regional sorting centre, said Rouleau.The Centre de tri et de récupération de la région sher- brookoise, which sorts and sells regional recyclables, includes a half dozen partners including the city of Sherbrooke, and the MRCs of Haut St-François, Val St-François, Les Sources (Asbestos), Coaticook and Memphremagog.Sherbrooke, which was forced to close its municipal landfill in July, has been sending its waste to be buried at the technical landfill in St-Étienne-des-Grès, just north ofTrois Rivières.Rouleau said Sherbrooke has a five-year contract with the landfill in the Mauricie region, but he said it will take a few more years before a closer alternative is in place.In the meantime, Memphremagog area municipalities are examining other alternatives.Nicolet, who is also the warden of the Memphremagog MRC, said the municipal entity has always been split into the eastern part and the rest.Municipalities in the Stanstead area have signed a long-term contract with the landfill in Coaticook.“They are now under the same management system with three-way garbage pickups everywhere,” he said.“We consider they have a solution and we don’t have to consider them anymore.” That leaves municipalities on the Brome side as well as Magog and Orford Township,” he said.‘They are hanging somewhere in limbo.” the profits melting away, that is becoming less and less likely.Rouleau said officials are worried about the market tanking further.A decrease in consumer buying south of the border has caused a decrease in demand for recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard and metal and a corresponding drop in the price for such mate rials.In the past the sorting centre sold cardboard for $150 a metric tonne.It is currently selling for $60 a tonne.The price of aluminum has dropped 80 per cent, going from a profitable $1000 a tonne to a mere $200.Worse yet, no on is interested in buying plastic so recyclers are forced to stockpile it and Nicolet said his understanding is that Orford Township will want to join with municipalities in the Haut St-François which would take care of their compostables.The remainder are meeting with Haute-Yamaska area municipalities like Granby and Bromont which are getting together to set up a garbage treatment centre, said Nicolet.“They are, in the course of 2009, to make a formal proposal to us, including Magog.That would fundamentally solve our problems.” Nicolet said the Brome municipalities are considering a two-way collection, which is what Magog wants.Sherbrooke already had a three-way collection in place where households separate recy-clables, compostables and residual waste into three different bins.In the two-way collection, recyclages are segregated and the rest is sorted at a plant.Nicolet said it’s cheaper to col lect and transport waste in a two-way system, but more expensive to treat.But, he said, the treatment is more effective because you don’t have to worry about whether or not homeowners have separated out their compostables.“The question is do we spend more money on pickup or treatment?" Nicolet said.“Right now everything is up in the air.” hope for better days.Rouleau said that for now, there aren’t any plans to increase fees at the recycling centre.Nor are there any plans to stop collecting recyclable materials.Rouleau said Sherbrooke and neighboring municipalities are recycling more and more materials in order to meet provincial goals of burying much less waste.That means the centre will keep operating even if the profits drop significantly.“We’re not going to stop our pickups,” said the Sherbrooke councillor.“We’re increasing our collection.” In the meantime, Rouleau encouraged Townshippers to step up efforts to reduce the amount of stuff they toss into their re cycling bins.That means employing reusable shopping bags and and buying goods with less packaging.in; -, ¦— «a, Looking for work?Trying to choose a career?Job Links can help!

but they also advocated and supported violence against Americans.Twenty plus bombings in all.No deaths occurred but this was the result mostly of chance and inefficiency.Ayers has boasted about his involvement in a plan to bomb the Pentagon.My reason for disliking the man is not so much the bombing, which is bad enough, but rather the free pass he has enjoyed from two diametrically opposed roles: first as violent young radical critic of American imperialism and bourgeois capitalism; and second as aging professor comfortably immersed in and enjoying all the benefits of the bourgeois capitalist lifestyle he criticized so bitterly decades earlier.Talk about having it both ways.If all the leaders for violence during the sixties (and beyond) had simply shifted over the years from left (passionate ideal- THERE'VE BEEN ELF LAYOFFS IN OUR MANUFACTURING AND PACKAGING DIVISIONS.AND DONNER, COMET AND BLITZEN HAVE ACCEPTED BUYOUT OFFERS.STOCKINGS WILL NOT BE FULL THIS YEAR AND THERE WILL BE LESS UNDER THE TREE.wwnn .cartoon Ink.c RECORD P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 5L6or 1195 Call E.SheibrookeJIG 1Y7 Fax: 819-569-3945 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Website: wwwxherbrookerecord.com Kenneth Wells Publisher .(819) 569-9511 Jen Young Editor .(819) 5696345 Joe Strizzi Corresp.Editor .(819) 569-6345 Richard Lessard Prod.Mgr.(819) 5699931 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman .(819) 5699931 Francine Thibault Prod.Superv.(819) 5694856 DEPARTMENTS Accounting .(819)5699511 Advertising .’.(819) 5699525 Circulation.(819) 5699528 Newsroom .(819) 5696345 Knowlton office 88-A Lakeside, Knowlton, Quebec, JOE 1VO Tel: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST TOTAL Canada: 1 year 120.00 6.00 9.45 $135.45 6 months 63.00 3.15 4.96 $71.11 3 MONTHS 32.00 1.60 2.52 $36.12 Out of Quebec residents do not include PST.Rates for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 7,1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record.1195 Galt East.Sherbrooke.QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA COLUMN I S ' ¦ THE ¦ =RECORD Friday, November 14, 2008 page 7 I Remember when ?—recap The November 11th “Remember When” was taken at Pope Memorial elementary school in Bury and I would say the year was 1982-83.That was my daughter Robin in the back left, her friend Trudy Beaton on the back right and the boy raising his hand is Troy Sherman.I think that was a grade three class.I was surprised to open the Record and see my daughter’s little face from 23 years ago.Thanks for the memory.Penny Dutton 1 remember leaving Cookshire and on the right hand side was an old bridge.They closed it many years ago because it was unsafe for people to drive on.Behind the bridge is a new highway and people can get to East Angus and Bury.Just follow the straight road for 10 miles or so, come to a stop and the right turn will take you on another road to Bury.At the stop sign turn to the left and it will get you to East Angus.Margaret Martyn *> r*r* « LE SALON DES METIERS D’ART November 19 to November 23 r Edifice d'Expo-Sherbrooke 300 du Cégep Street Wednesday: 7 p.m.- 9 p.m Thursday: 10 a.m.-9 p.m.Friday: 10 a.m.-9 p.m.Saturday: 10 a.m.-9 p.m.Sunday: 10 a.m.-5 p.m.Admission: 3$ Free under 16 Free parking Organized by la Corporation des métiers d’art du Québec en Estrie Sharhrooke i°2,| fm Québec La Corporation des métiers d’art du Québec en Estrie tient à remercier la Société de développement des entreprises culturelles du Québec pour sa contribution.The photo of the man sawing the log I believe is Peter Griffith (printed in Remember When on November 6th).It was at Mcdonald college.A contest.I could be wrong but seldom am.It would be late 70’s or early 80's.Peter Wood " ;

Laure Pitfield bleeds basketball.Perhaps one of the best-known hoopsters on the women’s Bishop’s U team, she says this year is it.She’s graduating come spring, and the squad is going to win the league championship.“I can’t even tell you how much I love basketball.I am so excited to play, especially this year, as I am coming back from a knee injury that kept me on the sidelines all of last season.But this year, as a team, we’re closer than ever.“It’s not just a hobby.It’s a way of life.This year is the year.I’m sure of it.” Pitfield already has an Honours BA from BU in Psychology, but is still on campus working on a human resources concentration.And playing hoops.“I was recruited to play here,” she recalls (her family’s in Ottawa).“I was terrible.My coach used to call me Bambi on the court because I so bad, I was always hopping around not knowing what to do.But my coach really helped me develop, every week there was extra work on the court for me.” Pitfield is an acknowledged star of the team.She was named MVP of the recent Loeb Glebe tournament in Ottawa.And teammate Katy Germain was named the female BU Athlete of the Week for the week of October 28th following the Gaiters’ win of that tourney.A Germain layup with nothing left on the clock against UPEI forced overtime, capping a Gaiters’ comeback from 18 points down.There’s also a new coach, Alex Perno.Most recently, he coached the AAA men’s basketball team at Cégep Montmorency for three seasons, posting a 30-14 regular season record.In his first season with the team, he led the Nomades to the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association national championship.“He has a completely different style of coaching that we haven’t seen at Bishop’s,” says Pitfield.“He’s very passionate, and he is all about a team concept - everything we do has to be as a team.” Pemo replaces Rod Gilpin, who was recently named the Gaiters’ men’s basketball head coach.These two teams to watch open their home seasons with twin games on Saturday, November 15th The women play McGill at 6 p.m., the men face the Red-men at 8 p.m., in the BU Sports Complex’s Mitchell Gym.DONT ALLOW A TRAGEDY Sometimes it takes a tragedy to make you realize that you could save someone’s life.Just a half-hour, it turns out, could do it.Ellyce Wright is a Bishop’s University student from Manotick, near Ottawa, studying Sociology.“Two of my best friends were involved in a fatal car accident last October [in 2007], and if it wasn’t for the donation of blood, one of them wouldn’t be with us today.” That’s why Wright gives blood - and she’ll be at the Students’ Representative Council’s blood donor clinic on Tuesday.“People don’t realise how much a few seconds of their day can do for others,” she says simply.Wright was happy to hear about the Hema-Quebec sponsored event, held from 10 a.m.to 7 p.m.in the lobby of Centennial Theatre.“I thought I would have to book one for when I went home in December.This is an amazing thing for the SRC to be hosting.” William Orford is a fourth-year History student from New Brunswick who has already given blood four times.“It’s important to me because it’s an issue of life or death really.Also it doesn’t take that long to donate, plus you get pizza/cookies/chocolate milk afterward!” Please help by giving blood between 10 a.m.and 7 p.m.on Tuesday, November 18th in the lobby of Centennial Theatre.SPORTS The season is over for some of the Gaiters teams, and we want to acknowledge the hard work and accomplishment of our athletes.Running back Jamall Lee has been named the No.2-ranked CIS-based draft prospect by the CFL’s Amateur Scouting Bureau.In other Gaiters news: Defensive back Harrison Maloney was named Quebec University Football League Rookie of the Year, and we landed five players on the Quebec University Football League All-Star team: running back Jamall Lee, return specialist Steven Turner, tackle Thomas Cumberbatch and wide receiver Keith Godding, plus linebacker James Yurichuk.Good on ya, guys.The men’s rugby team made it all the way to the finals, losing out in that last game 21-0 to the McGill Redmen in the 2008 Quebec University Rugby Union championship.About 100 vocal Gaiters fans braved the rain in Montreal to lend their support.The men’s lacrosse team played hard, dropping their CUFLA Quarter-final game 13-7 to the McGill Redmen in Montreal.Cheers also go out to the women’s soccer squad and women’s rugby (Meredith Evans has been named to the 2008 Quebec University Rugby Union Women’s All-Star team, while Gaiters’ head coach Eryn Hessian was named the league’s Coach of the Year.FOOD DRIVE The Bishop’s University Commerce Society (BUCS) holds its food bank drive through to Friday, November 21st.Drop off non-perishable foods on campus at Mc-Greer Hall or the sports centre!

Revisited in grandfather’s memory Al.i.PHOTOS BY COLIN STANDISH By Colin Standish Special to the record Cookshire This article details my experiences tracking down Canadian war sites in Hong Kong.In tiny Stanley village, past the Repulse Bay Hotel, where young Canadians were bayoneted and thrown off steep cliffs, I stand in a Commonwealth military cemetery.I think of Laurence Binyon’s line that I always heard on Remembrance Day, back home in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, “at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.” All told, 20 Canadians are buried on this small bluff that served as the last stand for the Canadian forces stationed here in the Second World War.This is where my grandfather, Colin Alden Standish, was captured on Christmas Day, 1941.1 have finally made it to this place of family lore and legend, of heroism and triumph, and inhumane pain and despair.I find myself half-way around the world because of the Canadian battle for Hong Kong.My grandfather was a young man from rural Quebec when he enlisted in the Royal Rifles Regiment in 1940, destined to serve 1,377 days (three years, eight months) as a Prisoner of War in Japanese concentration camps, and to receive the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his bravery under fire.1 came to Hong Kong to track down Canadian war sites and try to understand what he went through.On December 8,1941, the Japanese Army swarmed the border of Hong Kong’s New Territories.I can still see the remains of the concrete trench system, the Gin Drinkers’ Line, which stretches across the entire Hong Kong peninsula.Many parts are easily accessible, but some sections are filled with mud.A sign reading “Piccadilly” adorns one of the tunnels, which were all named after landmarks in London.Today the tunnels are guarded by roving bands of monkeys.Sweating in the 30-degree-plus heat, I hike the steep peaks of Hong Kong Island.The area known as the Wong Nai Chung Gap saw the heaviest fighting during the battle.The Gap overlooks a main pass between the mountains and it was a strategic position for the Japanese to capture the northern villages of Aberdeen and Stanley.All the pillboxes and bunkers remain as they were in the 1940s.I have a hard time imagining Japanese and Canadian bayonet charges up the steep mountainsides.On December 18th, the Japanese army on Kowloon crossed the Lye Mun Gap to Hong Kong Island under the cover of darkness.My grandfather and other young Quebecers in the Royal Rifles found themselves under Japanese gunfire that night, before being forced to retreat to Tai Tam Reservoir in the Wong Nai Chung Gap and then to Stanley village.The rubble of the Canadian barracks still stand inside the fort, bearing witness to the ferocious battle with deep bullet holes and shrapnel scars.For part two of Colin’s voyage for answers see Tuesday’s Record.$8995 WINTER TIRE GET A ADAPTED TIRES FOR YOUR CAR l GOODWHENCH PRICE mail-in rebate" With the

DOLLAR WEAKENS.Most RV’s on the market today are manufactured in the U.S.With the strengthening of the American dollar RV dealers throughout Canada will have to spend 30% more to acquire inventory.These same units would have been purchased for 30% less just a few months ago.New buyers will be in for some sticker shock when they go to buy their new dream unit this spring.However the Leisuredays group of stores with over 16 locations across Canada has over 2000 RV’s of all makes and models in inventory that were purchased when the Canadian dollar was at par.Hugues Bissonnette manager of Leisuredays Sherbrooke says that consumers who are ready to purchase today for the spring market will save themselves at least 30% from prices coming up this spring, and it could even be more according to some leading economists.Mr.Bissonnette goes on to say that for the balance of November pricing on all in stock RV’s will remain at par.Customers who purchase now are in for some serious savings.For example they have a $30,000 fifth wheel that come the spring will be at $36,000.So a purchase now amounts to a six thousand dollar savings.Leisuredays also has the biggest purchasing power in all of Canada and negotiate deep discounts with all their suppliers based on their mass purchases.All prices will increase with the dollar weakening, tent and travel trailers fifth wheels, park models, and motorhomes.When their current inventory is sold our prices will bounce higher by at least 30% if not more.Leisuredays will make it easy for anyone who buys now with a bonus to customers of free winter storage until the spring plus a six month payment free period.If your in the market for an RV take the time now and save at least 30% on your purchase.This 30% discount offer is only available on remaining in stock units at all Leisuredays locations.Mr.Bissonnette anticipates the busiest November on record as customers realize this opportunity will only last until all current stock is sold.RV prices are set to rise 30% or more immediately.leisuredays inventory is available without this dollar based price increase on all in stock units.819-846-1S55 510 Chemin

you have to give him credit for sheer chutzpah (I love that word).Police in Portsmouth, New Hampshire report that a driver pulled up to a routine sobriety checkpoint last weekend and dutifhlly handed over his driver’s permit and vehicle registration.So far so good.Apparently having second thoughts, the man then peeled away from the checkpoint and sped off, almost running over an officer at the scene.Armed with the man’s identity, vehicle license number and home address, intrepid officers were eventually able to pull him over and arrest him.They then found illegal smokeables in his car.The 32-year old was subsequently charged with driving under the influence of drugs, possession of drugs, disobeying a police officer and reckless driving.The astute reader will notice that he wasn’t charged with drinking and driving, the ostensible purpose of the police check.One toke over the line, 1 guess.(McD) arson: It includes raids this weeks in three locations including his home in Sherbrooke, his former apartment in Drummondville, as well as his spouse’s home in Hatley Township.Several items were seized to be used as evidence at trial, said Ruel, who could not say what was

There are many odd words in the English language, and television is one of them.Television (TV) is actually an incorrect term.Tele, a Greek prefix, means distance, therefore the correct word for television is actually “Distancevision”(DV).Although it is debatable just how much distance we are envisioning, for the sake of this article we’ll just say it works.I am not a big TV watcher.Maybe at one time, but not now.I am much too busy making a book out of all the articles 1 write to bother with it.But, occasionally, when events conspire against me, I get bored and venture into the lion’s den, an abyss so terrifying that many a soul has perished trying to resist.The Other Room.This section of my possibly haunted house is home to an obscenely big and box-shaped DV, which, according to what I learned in Science class, is constantly blasting radioactive alpha rays into the room: Joy.I swear, at night when other family members are being tormented by this cruel contraption, all the objects in the room seem to light up in bright, sometimes phosphorescent, colors.It worries me deeply, but somehow the pulsating glow manages to pull me in to this wretched place as well, if only for a little while.This machine tantalizes us with new, better distancevision series, but just when we get used to them, they are snatched from us as fast as they came, replaced by so called, newer, better shows.However, these shows are not really newer in design, and are definitely not better.These DV shows gradually degrade over time, thus disrupting one’s way of thinking if watched too long, and broadening one’s sense of fear if watched in moderation.With a bit of deep thought on the matter, we can conclude that the DV producers and other people involved have a dreadfully bad habit.That is to say that they never seem to ask people if they want a show to be cancelled.For some unknown reason, the show “This Morning Live” on Global was cancelled.Their ratings were supposedly too low.Sure, whatever, I loved to watch that show in the mornings before school, but this new show that is replacing it must be ten times better.I wouldn't complain if that was the case, but it wasn't.It was replaced with one of the shows that makes me want to smash in They Killed It In the eyes of a 15-year-old JONATHAN LAHUE the DV.House & Home with Linda Housewrecker Reeves.This show is supposed to represent houses and homes, but there is NO way that I’d ever call any one of the houses on her show a home! Her episodes barely vary.On several occasions, I have had the pleasure to witness the most repulsive house in existence.Along with all the repulsive obsessions of it's inhabitants.The Adam's Family came to mind.I distinctly remember a blood red room with curtains that couldn’t help reminding me of cobwebs.The bench looked suspiciously coffin shaped, the table seamed to have some sort of round future gazing ornament on it, and the bird in the bird cage looked skeletal.And this was no Halloween special.Mrs.Reeves then has the audacity to say something along the lines of the house being .“fabulous”.She is now on my list of persons I suspect of being vampires.Then, on another occasion, we have the pleasure of seing a before and after picture.This time, the house in question is a wonderful big house with sharp-looking pine interior.Unfortunately for this house, its new owner must have suffered from a serious head injury as a child, and decided to paint the entire thing.white.It then looked just like a hospital; plain and cancerous feeling without a smudge of real colors in sight.I also fail to comprehend how every single house on that show can be so tidy.If Mrs Housewrecker ever entered MY house for such a thing, she would surely have a heart attack and die.It is just impossible to not have any real stuff in your house.It's just a big stereotype they are trying to create that everyone is rich and snobby with not a single possession of sentimental value except a 7000 inch plasma DV.And why someone would want to get up at around six in the morning to watch this is truly beyond me.Even the kids' shows are bad now! What ever happened to those shows that everyone liked?Art Attack?It was a great show! Interactive too! Everyone would gather around trying to guess what the guy was going to make! Was it a penguin?or a wheel of cheese?Or maybe even a periscope?We never really knew, and that was the beauty of it.The Amanda Show?Randomness! You couldn't go wrong with this classic! It was just so funny too! Where on earth did that one go off to?And The Magic School Bus?It was EDUCATIONAL! Who cares if Pluto is no longer a planet?It still is to me.But I suppose kids will just have to grow up a bit less smart and a lot more uncultured from now on.And what about all those British shows?Keeping up Appearances and Monty Python?They were huge! If I was the Queen, I'd have forced us to keep some of it on air! Even if they would only be reruns, they would be good reruns.Everyone would laugh a lot, and the DV would once again be enjoyable.It's the same with the good old Disney movies.The ones made one sketch at a time and with tender, loving care were by far the best.I guess it did take a very long time to make them, but so what?It was well worth the wait, for we could watch them over and over again and never be bored! But modern day animation took it's toll and killed it; The Magic of Disney has been lost.The only traces of it are in the good old VHS tapes and film reels.Am I going to switch to Blue-Ray?NEVER!

Coach Chandler described Garrett as a player with a relentless work ethic, fantastic ability and “dirty feet like I’ve never seen." Garrett, he said, works in the thick of the action, doing the tough work to get the ball out to players who do the “fun stuff.” The Senior Boys Spartans had another successful season, winning the local ETIAC high school league and championship for the second year in a row.Another top trophy winner was Charles Vaillancourt of Coaticook, who won the W.A.Ketchen Trophy for football.Charles is in Grade 12 and in his second year at Stanstead College.Playing both defence and offence, Charles was commended by Coach Andrew Elliot for not just his size and strength but his speed, agility and athleticism.“On defence, he placed fear in the hearts and minds of the opposing quarterbacks, and on offence, he opened holes you could drive a truck through," said Coach Elliot.Other day students earning awards were Jesse Halikas, Grade 12, of Newport, Vt.and Ryan Bedard, Grade 11, of Derby Line, Vt., both earning Major S awards for senior boys soccer.Jesse was recognized for his versatility, teamwork, and being that type of player that’s “just fun to watch,” said Coach Chandler.Ryan was honoured for stepping into the goaler’s position this year when the team was in need.“Ryan was a goal-a-game scorer last year but he understood that this was in the best interest of the team.And he got better and better as the season moved along,” said Coach Chandler.In senior girls soccer, Gabrielle Fleming of Stanstead Township earned a Major S for her elite skills and for trying her best all the time.In fact, Gabrielle scored 12 goals throughout the girls’ season, which took them all the way to the championship final against Galt.Francis Williams of Stanstead earned a Senior S in football in recognition of his effective work as a blocker and his many sacks over the course of the season.Rookie Maxime Ruel of Sherbrooke also earned a football Senior S for taking on the QB position with just two days’ notice.He became a student of the game, said Coach Elliot, and in fact led the Spartans to a 26-0 victory against Lac Mégantic in the team’s first outing.In junior girls soccer, two day students earned Junior S awards.Though she had never played goal before, Michelle Baillargeon of Stanstead jumped into the net early in the season when the regular goaler moved up to senior.She practiced relentlessly, was fearless on the field and made the difference in many games, said Coach Eric Grenier.Coach Grenier told the assembly that Noemie Potvin of Austin probably had no suspicion she would be receiving an award.But he recognized her because she was always focused and always gave her all, not just in competition but in practice.In junior boys soccer, Ryan Smith of Stanstead East earned a Junior S and was described by Coach James Rioux as a friend to all and the “heart and soul of the team.” In bantam soccer, Madina Martineau of Stanstead earned a Bantam S in recognition for her leadership, hard work, positive attitude and soccer sense, while Chris Savory of Ayer’s Cliff won a Bantam S not just for his performance in goal but for always being respectful, never blaming and never complaining.Malcolm Wood-Downey of Sherbrooke, though not a day student, took home a Bantam S in cross-country running.“He’s a determined young man who improved day after day," said Coach Dugie Ross.For more athletic award winners, visit the school’s website at: www.stansteadcollege.com/sc/archives/s c09/fall_assembly_08.asp - Submitted by: Stanstead College Founded in 1872, SC is an INTERNATIOAL CO-EDUCATIONAL BOARD-ING/DAY SCHOOL FROM GRADES 7-12 IN Quebec’s Eastern Townships.COURTESY OF STANSTEAD COLLEGE Logan Vanasse accepts award with coach Jeff Standage, coach Graham Chandler, Garrett Donnelly, Headmaster Michael Wolfe (above), while Charles Vaillancourt accepts with coach Andrew Elliot, Headmaster Michael Wolfe (below). 1 ¦’ 1 - "" ——¦ ¦»THK—.— - ___________ RECORD Friday, November 14, 2008 page 13 ;-SPORTS —————^== Headhunting becoming too common in today’s game Two-game suspension of Senators’ Ruutu a joke; needs to be much longer y I NHL hockey season is only a month old, and here 1 am talking about head-JL.shots for a second time already.When are the players going to get it?Hitting is an integral part of hockey, when you finish your check, or are fighting for a puck in the corner, but in today’s game, players are stronger and faster, making hitting even more dangerous.When it’s done simply to injure someone, it can be deadly.The Habs played the Ottawa Senators Tuesday night, dominating every facet of the game from start to finish.Guy Carbonnneau said it was one of the best games he’s seen his team play since he took the job as head coach of the Montreal Canadiens as he watched his team skate circles around the Senators, leaving with a 4-0 victory.Ottawa was left dizzier than Robert Downey Jr.Sunday morning.They were frustrated, and one Jarko Ruutu, NHL agitator and royal pain in the behind, took a run and Maxim Lapierre, lifting his elbow as he skated by, catching Lapierre deliberately in the head.That definitely was a headshot if I’ve ever seen one.The end result: Ruutu got two minutes for.boarding?He was later ejected from the game and left the ice waving and taunting the Bell Centre faithful.Pure class.The NHL thought the deliberate headshot warranted review, and decided that Ruutu should be suspended.for two games.Two games?Ruutu skated from near his bench all the way across centre ice, gunning for Lapierre.His shoulder was nowhere near the Habs’ no.40, when he lifted his elbow with the intent of cracking Lapierre in the face.The way elbow pads are made today; I was quite surprised to see Lapierre get up right away.After the Habs went after Ruutu for ret- ribution, he grabbed the vertically challenged Francis Bouillon to a fight, in order to avoid answering to Georges Laraque, who was on the ice when the incident occurred.Two games, in my humble opinion, is a joke.Tom Kostopolous received a three game suspension for hitting the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Mike Van Ryn last Saturday, an offense well-warranted, as hitting from behind, especially near the boards, has become another problem that the NHL will have to look into.The difference though, is that Kostopolous was skating hard after his man, Van Ryn, who turned last minute sending the Kostopolous hit off target.I'm not saying Van Ryn was responsible, but the intent may have been less clear.It was within the play; while it was quite obvious that Ruutu was gunning for Lapierre, who can get under the opponents’ skin, and not the puck.Ruutu was headhunting, pure and simple, and to get a two-game suspension for a deliberate act like that is a joke.Price must play Coach Carbonneau has said numer- ous times that he plans on making sure goalterider Carey Price is rested and fresh for the playoffs this year, after the Philadelphia Flyers eliminated the Habs in the second round last year.Price’s said that his less than stellar performance was the result of poor diet and fatigue from playing a lot of hockey with his junior team, Team Canada at the World Junior Championships, the Hamilton Bulldogs Calder Cup championship, and then becoming the number one starter in Montreal after Cristobal Huet was traded to Washington.However, Carbonneau has to be careful that he’s not too vigilant about resting Price.After a long rest of six days last week, Carbonneau decided to start backup Jaroslav Halak against the Columbus blue Jackets on Friday, a game the Canadiens lost 4-3 in a shootout, and then got hammered the following night by the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-3, behind a shaky performance in goal by Price.He rebounded nicely on Tuesday, shutting out the Senators 4-0, and looked solid.He was square to the shooter, cut his angles well, and had a good sense of the game.It was obvious that the layoff for Price was too long.Joe Strizzi Hockey Hearsay The Week Around Sports The Als are preparing to do battle for a Grey Cup berth in their hometown while things have looked both beautiful and ugly from the Montreal Canadiens.Meanwhile;

they won’t travel long distances to mega events but local short tracks could get a boost in the arm as race addicts look for a less expensive shot.of adrenaline.Garage Garble Rumblings are circulating about serious talks between Ganassi and DEI.Both teams are facing extinction without a merge;

We must remember.If we do not, the sacrifice of those one hundred thousand will be meaningless.They died for us, for their homes, families and friends, for a collection of traditions they cherished and a future they believed in.They died for Canada.The meaning of their sacrifice rest with our collective national consciousness.Our future is this monument.“0 Canada” was sung.“Happy Birthday” was also sung to the November Birthday Girls - Heather Forster (9th), Mary Jones (15th), Margaret Bell (17th) and Min Kerr (29th).Motto read was “If you don’t have wrinkles, you haven’t laughed enough” and the Roll Call “Bring and show a Christmas decoration for a Silent Auction.” A most successful silent auction took place during tea time.The minutes of the October meeting and Executive Meeting were read by Secretary Verna Patterson and approved as read.The Christmas Dinner on December 3, 2008 was discussed with all the members planning to attend.Donna Luce offered to take care of the tickets for the draw of a beautiful afghan and other articles, which will take place at the County Meeting in February 2009.The Travelling Bag will continue with 3 articles.It was suggested that it contain food articles that someone can enjoy instead of trinkets.Our 2009 programmes will be ready for the December meeting.Correspondence included “Thank You” notes from both Anglophone Youth Homes for apples received and knitted goods, Helping Hands Food Bank for food received Adelaide Hoodless Homestead for gift of money and Evelyn Lewis for card and basket of fruit received while ill.Treasurer Doris Nelson presented a very favourable report and still better news, there were no bills to pay.President Norma Sherrer presented a very interesting report of the trip to Gaspe that she, Paulette Mahannah and Isabel Surtherland took to attend the Women’s Institute Board Meeting.The bus trips there and back were great, they were treated royally while there and in other words “had a ball.” Jean Scott gave a report on behalf of the Nomination Committee and the treasurer’s books for 2008 will be audited by Donna Luce and June Lamey.Evelyn Lewis talked about the book “A Bear in War” by Stephanie Innés 8i Harry Endrulat, which is based on a true story of Aileen Rogers, who lived in East Farnham and sent her toy bear to her father Lawrence, while he was a soldier in the First World War.He kept it on him all the time so when he was killed that’s where they found it.It is presently in the Canadian War Museum, Ottawa.She suggested that, since it is local history, the branch should consider buying a copy for both Heroes’ Memorial and St.Leon both elementary schools for their libraries.It was decided that we would purchase three copies so that our branch could also have a copy as it is available in Brome Lake Book Store, Evelyn also read.What is a Grandmother?A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own.A grandfather is a man grandmother.He goes for walks with the boys and they talk about fishin’ and tractors and stuff give him enough affection.My husband is an alcoholic.He drinks from the time he gets up until he goes to bed or passes out, whichever comes first.He also is a heavy smoker.His breath and body reek of cigarettes and stale beer.When he drinks, he has an outrageous temper.I have been cursed and called every name you can think of.We have a barely functioning sex life because of his alcohol consumption.Truthfully, I don't miss it because I’m not attracted to him anymore.Whenever I mention the word “divorce,” he tells me he can’t live without me and if I leave he will kill himself.So I stay for him and for our two children.If there’s a woman who wants to take him off my hands, she can have him.After years of emotional and vefba! abuse, my “give a darn” is busted.— Given Up Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.like that.Grandmothers don’t have to do anything except be there.They are old so they shouldn’t run or play.It’s enough they drive us to the market where the pretend horse is and have lots of quarters ready — or if they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty flowers and caterpillers.And they never say “hurry up”.Usually grandmothers are father but not too fat to tie your shoe laces.They wear glasses and funny underwear.They can take their teeth and gums off.Grandmother don’t have to be smart, only answer questions like “Why isn’t God married?” “How come dogs chase cats?” Everyone should have a grandmother especially if they don’t have a television.Because they are the grown ups, who have time.Written by a Grade 3 student.As this was Chairperson Education & Personal Development Trudy Cornell’s Programme, she introduced Shelley Mizener, whose son advised her, when asked as to what she could do as cancer had made it impossible to continue in her chosen career “Do what you know best.” She decided that it was what they ate and how they conducted their lives and community living thus Green Zebra - Cultivating Change.“You can only make one success of yourself, but you can help make many successes by inspiring and encouraging others.” She encouraged us to get involved in our own community - buy locally, eat locally, teach locally and pass on our crafts, knowledge, etc., especially to the young.Trudy, in thanking Shelley, stated that the Women’s Institutes are just crammed with talented people, who want to be a part of the community, which makes her proud to be a member.During Tea Time, the Travelling Bag was won by Jean Scott.Tea Money and Pennies for Friendship were collected and a good time was enjoyed by all.Evelyn Beban Lewis, Publicity \ page 18 Friday, November 14, 2008 ™ thk RECORD CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present.Each letter in the cipher stands for another Today's clue: T equals C “C UDV RWZVV2N A J FDYZ MXJUX FCH.VJHZACHZV IJN HDMZV GZOLZTA GZJGWZ DXN GDSW XZUHDX UDV JXZ JL AFZH.” -VDWWB LCZWN PREVIOUS SOLUTION — “Even it you don't like a concert of mine, please, please applaud at the end anyway." -
