Richmond Ricky Bouchard, a 23-year-old Richmond man was declared dead on arrival at the CHUS Wednesday night, apparently the result of a brawl earlier, around 10:45 p.m.near the Canada Post building, corner of Main St and Craig Road.Residents awoke Thursday morning to find police had cordoned off nearly 600 metres stretching from the Post Office parking lot, up Craig and down College Street north to a spot in front of the Royal Canadian legion building where the victim had walked and eventually collapsed.Lynn Levia recounted hearing the sounds of a struggle and fighting from her place of business nearby just before closing time.“I saw the victim and his friend walk by so I jumped in my car, drove down Main Street and, on turning the corner near the Legion, saw that one of the two was lying on the ground," she said.“I stopped, ran over to him and began to check his pulse.A couple of people nearby had called the ambulance which arrived shortly afterward." “I knew this guy.He came often to my video store and was friendly with my son Jason.It was quite a shock, I can tell you that.” Early Thursday, police and detectives along with the mobile investigation unit caused quite a stir along Main Street and College.Richmond residents, out for their morning mail found the Post Office closed, streets and parking lots closed off and markers showing the last steps of the victim.“I can’t even get into the post office to get my mail bag,” said Francis Fowler, a rural route postal worker.We dead after altercation ¦ Police cordoned off a 600-metre stretch in Richmond following an altercation Wednesday night that left one man dead.(Inset) Lynn Levia heard fighting outside her business and rushed to the scene.^DBlAVILLEMAIRt have never seen anything like this before,” she said, sipping coffee at the Grand Central Hotel across the street from the post office.Louis-Philippe Ruel, a spokesman for the Sherbrooke Detachment of the Sûreté could not recall any similar incidents ever happening in this town of approximately 3,000 residents.Benjamin Jacques Allard presented himself to the police at the scene of the incident and was brought to police headquarters in Sherbrooke for questioning.Allard, 20, of Richmond was charged Thursday afternoon with involuntary manslaughter.An autopsy into the cause of death, is presently underway at the para-medico laboratories in Montreal.Vigilance urged on prescriptions Man given wrong meds By Rita Legault a registered nurse, whose 91-year-Zl old father was given the wrong JL ^prescription at a local pharmacy, is urging people to be vigilant to ensure they are getting the right medication in the right doses.Maureen Murphy said her father was prescribed glucosamine, a natural dietary supplement given to people who suffer from arthritis and joint pain.But instead he received glu-cophage, a diabetes medication used to regulate blood-sugar levels.Taken by a non-diabetic, glu-cophage could have serious consequences, dangerously dropping blood sugar levels and conceivably leading to diabetic coma or death.Last year, a 78-year-old woman from St-Jerome died after an alleged foul-up in having her prescription filled at a pharmacy.The elderly woman became severely ill after taking a medication for diabetes rather than the cortisone she had been prescribed for jaundice.She fell into a coma and died.While a coroner investigates the causes and circumstances behind that death, the Quebec Order of Pharmacist, whose mission is to ensure the protection of the public with regards to pharmaceutical services, insists that mistakes are few and far between.Please see prescriptions page 10 You may now hear and understand „ Rodier o prothésiste Full service o-F hearing aids • MAGOG 2.GG, St-Patrice

bèen adjusted quarterly (in January, April, July and October).Canada’s Old Age Security program provides seniors with a secure base of retirement income.It also provides additional benefits to eligible low-income pensioners and their spouses or common-law partners in the form of the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and the Allowance.The OAS program is the first level of Canada’s three-level retirement income System.It is funded through general tax revenues and provides a basic minimum income for Canadian seniors.The OAS program is the most widely accessible source of income for older Canadians, providing 4.1 million seniors with about $27 billion in 2003/2004.The second level, the Canada Pension Plan (or the Quebec Pension Plan in Quebec), is funded through contributions by Canadian workers and their employers and the self employed, as well as through earnings on investment of the Plan’s funds.In addition to retirement benefits, the Plan also provides disability benefits, death benefits, survivor benefits, and benefits for children.Together, the CPP and the OAS pro-gram-the first two levels of the retirement income system-enhance the quality of life of Canada’s seniors by providing a modest base on which to build additional income for retirement.The third level is made up of private savings, including employer- sponsored pension plans and registered

the Provincial Council at its meetings in Gander Newfoundland, as Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada on Sept.23.Archbishop Stavert was formally installed at a service in St.Martin’s Cathedral, Gander, on Sunday, Sept.26.The metropolitan as senior bishop has pastoral oversight for the province and presides at meetings of the provincial synod and council and at the consecration and installation of bishops.He succeeds Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, who was elected Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada at its General Synod on May 31.Archbishop Stavert, bilingual native of Montreal, was ordained a priest in 1965 and consecrated the 11th Lord Bishop of Quebec, the Anglican church’s second oldest diocese in 1991.He is married to Diana Greig and they have three children: Kathleen, Rosamond and Timothy.He received a bachelor’s degree at Bishop’s University, Lennoxville, a bachelor of sacred theology and a master of theology from Trinity College, University of Toronto, which in 1986 honoured him with a doctorate in divinity.Prior to being elected bishop of Quebec, Archbishop Stavert served as Incumbent of the Parish of Schefferville; as Fellow, Tutor and later Chaplain at Trinity College; as Incumbent in the St Clement’s Mission on Quebec’s Lower North shore; as Chaplain at Bishop’s University and Champlain College.He was elected as bishop of Quebec while

Executive Council.Since 1999 Archbishop Stavert has been the co-chair of the Canadian dialogue between the Anglican Church and the Roman Catholic Church.Archbishop Stavert is the second bishop of Quebec to be elected Metropolitan; the first was Archbishop Philip Carrington, who served as bishop of Québec from 1935 until 1960 and as Archbishop from 1944 to 1960.The province of Canada, the

development for the ski resort area of Mount Orford.The Conseil Régionale de l’environnement de l’Estrie (CREE) is seeking an investigation and public hearing from the Bureau d’audiences publique sure l’environnement (BAPE).The environmental organization cites the permanent protection promised for the area in 1938 when the park at Mount Orford was created, after the efforts of Dr.George Austin Bowen.The group also cites a similar development plan put into place in recent years at Mount Tremblant as reason enough to protect Mount Orford from the development.A public hearing was held on the original plan.The company that owns the Mount Orford ski hill released a second version of the plan this past winter, which includes a smaller than originally sought improvement to the golf course, and fewer housing and hotel units over a wider territory.The development plan also re- oriented the original plan from an environmentally sensitive area between the ski hill and the golf course and closer to Autoroute 10.PARTICIPATE IN THE be/t iN toWhi waLk-a-tho Rubble not Trouble PERRY BEATON A storied house, home to a number of Bishop’s University students over the years was demolished

McDougall Special to The Record Danville Get out the picnic baskets, the binoculars and the hiking shoes, people, it’s time for the second annual Thanksgiving weekend bird and duck watch at the Danville Burbank Pond nature preserve.“After years of watching them ourselves, we figure mid-October is the time when most of the birds, ducks and other waterfowl come here for mating, nesting and feeding before heading south for the winter,” said watch organizer Anne Willholz.“Some days the birds are shy and West Nile numbers down for 2004 No human cases Staff y I jhe Quebec Government’s annual I surveillance of the West Nile virus *1.has come to a close for the year, sporting much better numbers than in 2003.The best news is that there were no reported human cases of the virus.One case in the Montérégie this summer first looked like West Nile, but further tests ruled it out.The number of infected birds reported was also down to 2,300 from 7,000 the year before.Of that number, only a little over 30 tested positive for West Nile.That’s eight times less than in 2003.A similar tendency was reported in the pools of mosquitoes tested.Dominique Breton of the Ministère de la Santé et des Services Sociaux said the decrease was likely due to the spraying of larvacides on stagnant pools where mosquitoes commonly breed, as well as precautions taken by the general public.Breton also noted a decrease in West Nile activity across the affected areas of North America.One idea being raised is that the birds hit hardest by the virus (crows, bluejays, etc.) and humans as well may be developing an immunity to West Nile.Research into that thesis will continue in the coming months.Still, public health officials are advising the public to continue taking precautions, such as covering up and using insect repellent.Just because West Nile was less present this year doesn’t mean it won’t come back with a vengeance in 2005.The government is planning to keep up its efforts against the virus next year as well.Armed robbery at McDonalds in Thetford * 4 ' Staff While waiting for his dinner at the McDonalds drive-thru in Thetford Mines, a man was faced with three armed robbers who threatened and hit him for his wallet, glasses and cigarettes, which were on the Shane Listman passenger seat of his car.The 1:13 a.m Thursday incident was followed up by the Sûreté du Québec detachment catching up with three suspects, Simon Lachance, Shane Listman and Jean-Claude Karera at the Balmoral Motel at about 5 a.m.Police found a small amount of illegal drugs and some knives at the Simon Lachance Jean-Gaud Karera scene, said Agent Yves Simoneau of the Thetford Mines SQ detachment.Lachance, Listman and Karera were due to be charged late Thursday afternoon at the Thetford courthouse, after spending the day in interrogation.Details on the charges were not available at The Record’s press time.hide away at the back of the pond.But other days, they are all over the place and don’t mind the visitors.“We hope they are sociable on thanksgiving weekend.” During last year’s thanksgiving weekend, about 600 bird watchers and other visitors came to the one-kilometre-long pond to catch a glimpse of the creatures as they came and went on their ongoing journey southward.Local schoolchildren, pond volunteers and town employees have over the years recorded the visits of some 100 species of birds including various ducks, geese, loons and the occasional swan or two.Also, some 19 species of mammals make a regular home at the pond.They include beavers and various types of reptiles and amphibians.Pond watchers can see the various species from the safety of the Rosina Burbank lookout platform or wander down the three kilometers of paths to such locations as the watch tower at the center of the pond.Many visitors to the watch tower said seeing the birds land and takeoff made them feel like air traffic controllers at a major airport.For a more leisurely watch, a bird observation path where bluebirds, bluejays, cardinals, finches and other types hand around is available next to the children’s playground at the entrance to the pond.Also, several exhibitions created by schoolchildren and bird enthusiasts will be on display at the Danville town hall, situated next to the Burbank platform.Willholz said a farmers market under a tent in the parking lot will be open for business on the weekend for the visitors and recreation activities such as face painting will be available for the children.Admission to the pond activities, is as always, free.For more

not the best comparison given the latest case of assisted suicide in Montreal, but the Expos simply had to be put out of their misery.Your scribe assumes part of the blame for the demise of the once-beloved dreamers of the synthetic stadium field.In a residency in la grande métropole that spanned seven baseball seasons, I managed to squeeze in perhaps five games.I made it to almost as many games in Montreal when I was living in Ottawa.One of those games was notable for an incident involving a full beer, a foul ball and some clown willing to put his life on the line to snag a souvenir.In any event, despite the angry words written about dubious owners like Claude Brochu and Jeffrey Loria, and the lament for a fabulous plan for a fan-friendly downtown stadium, the fact is apathy killed the Expos.Just like one can never understand exactly why a place like Montreal behaves as it does - for example ignoring smoking in restaurants but banning right turns on red - one will never really know why Montrealers soured on their major league ball team.It wasn’t ticket prices.Heck, general admission at $15 comes out to not much more than you’d pay to sit in a theatre watching a crappy movie featuring celluloid actors.For about the same capital outlay one could see living, breathing accomplished athletes in action, stars of what is for millions still the greatest game in the world.Throw in a couple brewskies and the cavernous Big Owe almost began to feel like a happening place - until you start looking around at the rows and rows of empty seats, sobering as a war cemetery.Then the beers make you feel empty and like you should be somewhere else, preferably outdoors like at a football or soccer game.Can’t blame the team.Though handicapped by pathetic attendance, even when facing termination for the last several seasons, Montreal’s boys of September slapped on a brave face and put on a show worthy of The Show.With a total payroll of $43 million the team still was only a couple games behind the New York Mets with more than double the salary pay-out of $95.7 million, the fourth largest in Major League Baseball.Part of the answer to the demise of the Expos might be found several dozen blocks west of Boulevard Pie IX smack in the heart of downtown Montreal - not all that far from where Expos, management wanted to build a new park - a choice lot that now contains condos.McGill University’s Percival Molson stadium is now the hottest ticket in town, even though the end zone cheap seats for an Alouettes game are $20 and the centre field zone will run you from $75 to $115, which is getting close to the Montreal Canadiens rates - when there’s a season.Football is now Quebec’s outdoors sport of choice.The evidence is all around.From the revival last year of the Fighting Irish football program at St.Patrick’s High School in Quebec City, to the development of double-letter college teams in the remoter regions of the province, the pigskin is now king.One college, in the somewhat off-the-beaten path Beauce region, even recruited a hot-shot quarterback from Mexico City for its team, emulated the example of the Alouettes, star QB Anthony Calvillo.The University of Montreal,’s Carabins, in their third year back in the university league after a long absence, are ranked second in Canada.Also in the top 10 are Concordia Stingers and Laval University’s two-time Vanier Cup champion Rouge et Or.It is grassroots football fever among francophones that’s feeding these teams, inspired by a consistently performing CFL team in Montreal.It won’t happen overnight, but the CFL has eyes on Quebec City for expansion, excited by the extraordinary crowds that attend Rouge et Or games.Who killed the Expos?It was more like criminal negligence than murder.Ask the folks in my town, or Winnipeg, for that matter, if they would like to turn back time and have another chance to save their big league franchise, in this case hockey.Montrealers had many years to save their major league baseball team just by showing up.They didn’t, and some day they may regret that.In the meantime they can console themselves watching the action on the gridirons of dreams. ¦ : - I—THE M.mi.i.RECORD Friday, October 1, 2004 page 7 *! • Stonger Pavement STEPHEN MCDOUGAIX/SPECIAL Highway 116 gets paved with asbestos-asphalt for longer life Workers put down the final coat of asbestos-asphalt on four and a half kilometers of highway 116 leading into Richmond this week.The project cost the Quebec Transport Department $1.1 million to repave the four lane section, according to Chantale Messervier, an aid to Yvon Vallières, the member of the Quebec legislature for Richmond county.The figures mean the project cost over S130,000 per single-lane kilometre to pave.Messervier said the high cost was due to the inclusion of asbestos fiber in the asphalt.The combination is known to make the paved road stronger for heavy vehicles and allow it to last longer than roads paved with asphalt alone.The asbestos fiber is extracted from the mines in Asbestos and The ford Mines.The newly-paved highway section is shared by Richmond and Cleveland Township.TV program wants to send country folk to charm school Growing up on a dairy farm in Ontario, producer Lynn Booth never thought she would be making a series for Global television about small town gals and guys who want to be international debutantes.Her first job was slopping pigs, but she soon headed off to The University of Western Ontario, which she says “was more of a social education than anything else.It was full of preppies.That’s a hard world to navigate right off the farm!” Booth, producer of Pretty Boys, Culture Jam, The Whistleblower, and The Life and Times of Tim Horton, just a few of her past documentary projects, says “I could have used a Charm School myself.That’s probably why I thought it would be a popular series.I was always confused by how much to tip the doorman or which fork I should use for which course.Not to mention what I should wear to the Metropolitan Opera.So my idea of Charm School is basically a chance for a couple of hometown types to travel internationally and enter the higher levels of society with a lot of help.” Charm School is in development with Global Television this year and is scheduled for a Spring 2005 production.The producers of this new Canadian television series are looking for young men and women from small towns across the country who want to get a complete social makeover - inside and out — while visiting London, Paris, New York

the Waste Management Plan Notice is hereby given by the undersigned secretary-treasurer of the MRC de Memphrémagog situated at 455, rue MacDonald in Magog, that by-law 6-04 decreeing the Waste Management Plan for the MRC de Memphrémagog, as adopted by a council resolution on May 19, 2004 came into effect of September 22, 2004, that is 120 days after it was forwarded to the Minister of the Environment, Mr.Thomas J.Mulcair, as per article 53.19 of the Environment Quality Act.Summary Waste Management Plan for the MRC de Memphrémagog In the MRC de Memphrémagog, about 109,000 tons of wastes are generated every year.Nearly 19,000 tons come from the residential sector, about 13,000 tons from the institutional and commercial sectors and 41,000 tons from the industrial sector.The construction, renovation and demolition sector produces about 18,000 tons while nearly 18,000 tons is municipal sludge.For the MRC as a whole, the resource recovery rate is nearly 40 per cent.In the industrial sector, the recovery rate is 72.5 per cent.In the residential sector, however, the recovery rate is 12 per cent.Municipalities have the responsibility for managing residential wastes.Waste management in the institutional, commercial and industrial sectors is, for the most part, carried out by private enterprise.This is also the case for the construction, renovation and demolition sectors.» The objective of the management plan of the MRC de Memphrémagog is essentially the same as that of the Quebec government: resource recovery of 65 per cent of wastes with potential for recovery between now and the year 2008.To reach this objective, a series of actions is proposed.These include reduction at source, re-use, recycling, adding value and disposal.Among the most significant initiatives are: • A program to encourage reduction at source, aimed at citizens and the institutional and commercial sectors; • A program to encourage composting at home and “herbicycling” (ecological lawn management); • A program to encourage re-use in the municipal, institutional and commercial sectors; • Implementation of septic tank emptying and treatment of sludge of all residences not served by a sewer system; • Implementation of a network of refuse treatment and waste recovery centres; • Revision of building and demolition permit by-laws to facilitate the recovery of wastes; • Review of the system of fees paid by users, based on the user-pay principle; • Implementation of a three-stream waste collection plan in urban areas; • Limitation on the disposal of wastes on the MRC territory to the equivalent of what it produces and sends to landfill, that is 60,000 t/yr.; • Dissemination of information and making citizens and other stakeholders aware of the action strategies of the waste management plan.An advisory committee will be created to track the evolution of the management plan and the implementation of these strategies.It is also expected that the MRC will publish a waste management summary every two years.In addition, as provided for in the legislation, the MRC intends to review its management plan every five years.Any interested person may look at the by-law by going in person to the office of the secretary of his own municipality or to the office of the secretary-treasurer of the MRC de Memphrémagog, 455, rue MacDonald, Magog, Quebec, during regular business hours.Given at Magog this 28th day of September, 2004.Guy Jauron Secretary-treasurer Richmond antique dealer building car museum STEPHEN MCDOUGALL/SPECIAL Construction has begun on a new antique car museum.By Stephen McDougall Special to The Record Girders are going up on the site of the former Fouquette Ford auto dealership grounds for a new type of automobile showroom.Instead of displaying the latest models, it will feature antique cars and trucks in an enclosed museum.The project is being backed by antique dealer André Proulx and his sons Bernard and Michel.Proulx bought the site after the Fouquette dealership closed its doors in the late 1990s.The museum will have 16,500 square feet of space and is being built in the yard next to Proulx’s store situated at the intersection of Craig (highway 116) and highway 143.The project is estimated to cost $1.2 million and is being helped along by a $35,000 grant from the St.Francis Valley Municipal Regional Council (MRC).The MRC money came from a provincial government fund set up five years ago, called the Rural Pact fund, to finance development in rural areas.According to Proulx, between 40 and 60 old cars ranging in age from 25 to 90 years old will be on display for the viewing public.Richmond town manager Guy-Lin Beaudoin said the project could help bring in more tourists to the St.Francis Valley given that there are no car museums in the Townships.The last one, in Granby, closed its doors in the mid-1980s.“There is a lot of interest in old cars now,” said Beaudoin.“If this is the only place townshippers can come to see them, then we will surely get a lot of visitors.” According to prices quoted in the antique car market magazine Hemmings Motor News, such cars can fetch prices ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 U.S.de pending on its age and condition.The Proulx family estimated their car collection is worth close to $900,000.Brief Help save oldest Baptist church in the region An open house will be held on Oct.3 between 1 and 4 p.m.at the Barn-ston Baptist Church , 1169, chemin Baldwin-Barnston in Coaticook, the oldest church in the MRC of Coaticook.Apple pie, strong cheddar cheese, coffee, tea and juice will be served on the site.The funds raised through the sale of these articles will be used to restore the church.If you have on hand any photographs or documents concerning the Baptist church, you are asked to bring them along so that a copy can be made.This will help us immensely with the restoration.

Julien explains those are mistakes when drugs sound alike when prescriptions are given by phone and ones that look alike when handwriting is not clear.In one famous case, U.S.drugmaker Merck & Co.Inc.was ordered to change the name of its gastrointestinal drug Losec to Pxilosec to avoid confusion with the « jÊf J r- >» .A-»* heart medication Lasix.The drug is still sold as Losec in Canada.“Pharmacists need to be particularly attentive to those medications,” Julien said, adding that druggists should also take the time to talk to patients to verify why they are taking medication.But despite training and various prevention programs, pharmacists are not immune to mistakes, Julien said.“That’s why it’s important to be very careful.” Julien said pharmacists should never assume that patients can read and understand labels and instructions and should always talk to patients and ensure they understand the directives - especially when handing out new prescriptions.Double checking becomes even more important when people are taking more than one medication, when there is a greater chance of errors and interactions between drugs, he said.Julien said patients should also be prudent when dealing with medical professionals, ensuring they understand what medications they are taking and why.“They should not hesitate to be ready with questions, to write then down, and not hesitate to call back if they have any queries,” he said.Individuals with children and elderly parents should be particularly cautious to ensure their loved ones are getting the proper medication in the right doses, he adds.Thankfully, few pharmaceutical mistakes lead to grave consequences and most mistakes are caught before patients take the wrong medication, Julien said.“But even one mistake is one mistake too many,” he said, noting that a pharmaceutical error can have grave consequences.Murphy said the first hint her father had been given the wrong medication was an instruction leaflet included in the bag.“My sister went to pick it and and saw the instruction leaflet about diabetes and she called me to say: ‘Dad doesn’t have diabetes! You better take a look at this’.” Julien said the practice of handing out instruction and information sheets about new prescriptions can be helpful in avoiding mistakes and ensuring patients take their medication correctly.That is certainly something that should be encouraged, he said.After uncovering the medication mixup, Murphy said she went to the pharmacy and demanded to see the doctor’s prescription.Written in clear handwriting, it said glucosamine, she told The Record.“1 told the pharmacist: This is unacceptable.You could have killed my 91-year-old father if I had not been smart enough, and my sister had not checked.” Murphy said the pharmacist apologized to her and explained the error could have occurred because she was overworked and tired.“But tired does not compare to dead in my book,” Murphy said.“There is no excuse for this.I cannot morally and professionally let this one go.” Murphy said she took the prescription next door, photocopied it and filed an official complaint with the Order of Pharmacists.She also wrote The Record.-.“L have the need to warn people.” she.said.“I have to make them aware.” Murphy said her goal was not to hurt the people at the pharmacy.“I don’t have a personal vendetta against them.I just want people to be careful.My big concern is how many more people is this happening to?” Murphy complains that on three different occasions, her family received medications that were not prescribed for them, nor even remotely related to their medical problems.On two other occasions, she and her husband were given the wrong doses of medications.Murphy said that she continued to go the pharmacy for a number of reasons.It was the only one in town, she said .Also, following an earlier mistake, the pharmacist’s mother was ill and dying.’ 1 understand how human errors can occur,” she said.“But as a nurse, if I had screwed up that many times I would have lost my license.” This latest and potentially fetal mistake was the last straw.“1 am sure you can understand why I am so upset,” she wrote in her letter toThe Record.“Had I not known the difference, my dad would have taken this medication, and I could be writing his obituary in addition to this letter.” Murphy is urging everyone to be cautious and to make sure they are getting what their doctor ordered.“When you are given a new prescription, ask the doctor to spell it for you, then write it on a piece of paper in your own handwriting.When you get your pills, make sure they are the same as what is written on your paper.If you have been given the “generic” pill, ask the pharmacist what the “brand” name is and compare that with your piece of paper.You should also insist that you be given an information leaflet explaining what that drug is and what you should expect from it “Please take my experience seriously and be extra cautious,” she advises others.“Be you own advocate.It could save your life.” Reached by The Record, Murphy’s pharmacist preferred not to comment, noting it was “a personal matter” between the pharmacy and the customer.The pharmacist commented that they double check all prescriptions, but admitted that sometimes there is a single person on duty behind the druggist counter -especially late in the evening.“It’s official.We are human.Errors are possible,” the pharmacist said, noting that it will be up to the Order to determine the facts and establish if there was a fault.Consumers who are the victims of a pharmaceutical error, especially one that has caused an adverse reaction, can file a complaint with the Order of Pharmacists, which is not only the licensing body for Quebec pharmacists but also takes care of disciplinary matters.Jocelyn Binet, director of investigations for the Order, said that while he could not comment on whether it had received a specific complaint or is currently investigating one, complaints are reviewed to determine whether the pharmacist made a mistake.If there is evidence of negligence, penal- ties range from a reprimand and a fine to losing the license to practice for an undetermined period of time.Binet said the Order received about 547 complaints last year - up from only 264 in 2003-2004.That included complaints for pharmaceutical errors such as medication mixups and mistakes in patients’ files.But the huge increase was likely due to several complaints about pharmacists taking kickbacks from generic drug companies and some who were sanctioned for selling prescription drugs to the United States, Binet said Last year some two dozen complaints were sent to the disciplinary committee and all received sanctions ranging from fines to the temporary suspension of their pharmacist’s license, Binet said.Fines ranged from $600 to $4,500.While consumers cannot check if their pharmacist is being investigated, Binet said they can verify if their pharmacist has been sanctioned in the past by calling the secretary of the disciplinary committee.(You can reach the Order toll free at 1 800 363 0324.) In the meantime, the provincial health ministry has launched a $2-mil-lion campaign on the safe use of prescription medications.Launched earlier this month, the campaign targets the pubic as well as doctors, nurses and pharmacists.About 10 per cent of hospitalizations are linked to a problem of medication use due to expired products, interactions between medication, or side effects.The inappropriate or overuse of antibiotics also encourages the emergence of resistant bacteria such as the Clostridium difficile bacteria which was linked to the deaths of hundreds of patients at the CHUS in the last few years.The provincial campaign encourages Quebecers to take stock of the medication in their medicine cabinets and to get rid of outdated prescriptions and over the counter drugs.Julien said the Quebec Order of Pharmacists encourages people to take expired medication to pharmacies that can ensure medication is disposed of safely in a way that protects the environment.Drugs that look alike and sound alike and can be confused with one another Capoten Coptin Celebrex Celexa Calvulin Claritine Coumadin Kemadrin Cyclomen Cytotec Demulen Dalmane Ditropan

Carabins By Mike Hickey Special to The Record The Bishop’s Gaiters had little time to savour last week’s 25-13 homecoming win over the Mount Allison Mounties.Head coach Tony Addona’s squad is in Montreal Saturday to play the undefeated Montreal Carabins.“We are in a situation right now where every game is a must-win situation for us in our battle for a playoff spot,” Addona said earlier this week.The Gaiters opened the season with three straight losses.The poor start means the team can ill afford to lose another game if it hopes to make the playoffs.The Carabins are coming off an explosive 56-15 win over the St.Francis Xavier X-Men, a win that propelled them to the number two spot in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) national Top Ten poll.With only four teams advancing to the playoffs, the Gaiters’ best chance of advancing to the post season is beating out the Concordia Stingers who presently boast a 2-2 record.But the Stingers are also coming off an impressive 29-10 win over the St.Mary’s Huskies and will be in Lennoxville in two weeks to play Bishop’s.Of course Addona and the Gaiters have to concentrate on the task at hand, beating the run-orientated Carabins on artificial surface tomorrow afternoon.On paper it looks like a battle of two offences with contrasting styles, the powerful Carabins running attack against the arm of rookie quarterback Kyle Williams.But Bishop’s defensive co-ordinator Marc Loranger believes the Carabins’ running attack has been inconsistent and there has been a conscious effort by Montreal to pass the ball in recent games.“They had a great running game in their opening win over McGill but they did not have much success on the ground against Laval or Concordia,” Loranger observed.“Last week they were about 50-50 pass and run against the X-Men.We expect them to try to utilize some of their speed and get the ball to number 83.” Number 83 is wide receiver Yves Beriault who has speed to spare and will cause coverage problems for the Gaiters.“We don’t have one person who can cover him,” Loranger explained.“We will mix it up and use a variety of defensive coverages.” Bishop’s is coming off a record eight-interception performance last week.Loranger said his defensive secondary needs to return some of those interceptions for touchdowns.The Gaiters defence will also have to keep an eye on running back Joseph Mroué, who ran for 275 yards in Week 1 against the Redmen.There will be no mystery to the Gaiters’ offensive attack, they will rely on the arm of Williams.“We like to have a mix of offence and it was good to see us move the ball on the ground at the end of the Mount A game,” assistant coach Matt McBrien said Thursday at the team’s weekly Touchdown Club.“But passing the ball is what we do well and it will continue the be the focus of our attack.What we will try to do against Montreal is run shorter pass routes.” The Bishop’s coaching staff concedes the Carabins have arguably the best athletes in the conference A key to the Gaiters’ success could be the play of the special teams.“When we punt the ball we will be looking to kick out of bounds and on kickoffs we are keeping the ball deep and attacking it,” said special teams coach Leroy Blugh.“Montreal has some outstanding athletes but in this league everyone can be beat.” The Gaiters are hoping that Carabins’ turn comes tomorrow afternoon.Champlain coach predicts win over Vieux-Montréal By Mike Hickey Special to The Record The Champlain College football team enters Saturday’s pivotal rematch with Vieux-Montréal on the heels of a two-game winning streak but head coach Sébastien Brière knows his team is going to have to pick it up a notch if they hope to hand the Spartiates their first loss of the season.“We hurt ourselves in first two games (losses to Vanier and Vieux) with penalties and turnovers but we have corrected those areas and I think we will be ready.Two weeks ago we beat a really good F.X.Garneau team in Quebec City and a week later they beat Vanier,” he continued.That left the Spartiates as the league’s only defeated team, prompting a rare pregame prediction from Champlain’s head coach.“Vieux-Montréal won’t be undefeated after Saturday night,” a confident Brière concluded.See Garantee, Page 13 PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL Bishop’s head coach Tony Addona (left) believes this weekend’s

looking for improvement from his young squad.By Mike Hickey Special to The Record The Sherbrooke Vert & Or football team is in the midst of a three-game losing streak and has the unenviable task of travelling to Quebec City Sunday to play the nationally ranked Laval Rouge et Or.It certainly doesn’t seem like an ideal situation but the Sherbrooke coaching staff is looking forward to the opportunity to play the fifth-ranked defending national champions on their home turf.“1 am looking for progression in our development as a team,” head coach Alain Lapointe said, reiterating a point he has made every week since training camp started back in August.“We have 65 players on this team and 50 were playing CEGEP football last year,” Lapointe said.“Against McGill last week they dressed six freshmen, we dressed 19.“Of those players they had two freshman starters and we have 12 first-year starters.We want to see improvement from week to week.” The Vert & Or are coming off a disappointing 42-11 loss to the McGill Red-men, their second loss of the season to a team that has surprised many by fashioning a 3-1 record to date after being shutout in their season opener.Because of the Sunday start, Sherbrooke had an extra day to prepare for a talented team that needed a late field goal to edge the Acadia Axemen 18-15 last week.“We were able to relax physically Monday and just watch film and I think that has helped a lot,” assistant coach Steve Zatylny said prior to Wednesday’s practice.“Our morale is good and we have had spirited practices.” One of the areas where the Vert & Or has shown definite improvement has been in moving the ball offensively.For the second week in a row, the offence picked up 19 first downs against a solid defensive unit.Offensive co-ordinator Dominic Goulet can see signs that the offence is gaining confidence in itself.“Our running backs are blasting through the holes on running plays and that shows they have confidence in our offensive line,” Goulet said.“There is better communication between the coaches and players.The offensive line is on the same page and that is something you should expect at this time of the year midway through the season.” Goulet emphasized that there is one thing the offensive team can not do on Sunday.“You can’t play scared and I don’t think we will,” Goulet said.“As an offensive unit they have to go out and play aggressive, they can’t be afraid of making big plays or play conservatively.” Despite just one win in their first season and a half since returning to university football, the Vert & Or have played hard for 60 minutes every game.They will face the ultimate test this Sunday at PEPS stadium.2004-2005 season 11 ;nov/ i:ana!;i Li sMMm r For the earlv-birds!

particularly the highest-paid ones — have taken a kicking in the realm of public opinion.But Bossy has little sympathy for lesser-paid players such as Montreal Canadiens forward Steve Begin who sought public sympathy last week by declaring that not every player in the NHL makes $1.8 million.Begin made $400,000 last season.“That guy doesn’t score 10 goals in a year,” says Bossy.“It's pretty hard for somebody to take sides with somebody like that, especially since if there weren’t 30 teams in the league, that guy wouldn’t be playing professional hockey.” —CanWest News Service CEGEP AAA Football Guarantee: Cont’d from Page 11 The two clubs met in the second week of the season with Vieux-Montréal holding on to a 30-22 road win that left the Cougars in the cellar of the CEGEP AAA standings with a 0-2 record.Champlain would like to finish in the top two of the six-team circuit, thus ensuring itself home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.A win on the road against Vieux-Montréal would help realize that goal.It would also give the Cougars confidence they could compete with the two-time defending provincial champions.“Last week’s win (a one-sided romp over Beauce-Appalaches) was probably not the best way to prepare for Vieux but we have been playing a lot better the last two weeks and we are ready to take them on," Brière said in an interview.The focus of the Cougars attack will be Davy Mason, the league’s leading rusher.“There is no doubt we are counting on Davy and the offensive line to move the ball for us,’ Brière said.“Our passing attack has really come together in the past two games and I think we can have a balanced offence, but everything revolves around our ability to run the ball.” The Spartiates have traditionally been a run-orientated team but this year they have added a potent passing game to their arsenal and that caused problems for the Cougars in their first meeting.“We really stuffed the run the last time we played Vieux-Montréal and forced them to pass the ball," Brière explained.“We expect to come out passing right from the start of the game.” The difference in the first game was Chain-plain’s turnovers and penalties.Brière believes those problems have been rectified.Minaya moves from Expos to Mets Omar Minaya rejoined the New York Mets as their general manager on Thursday, charged with turning around a team that has finished last or next-to-last in the NL East each of the past three seasons.Minaya, also given the title of executive vice-president of baseball operations, spent the last three years as GM of the Montreal Expos, who are moving next season.Around Town To submit your sporting event, fax it to 819-569-3945, e-mail newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com or contact Mike Hickey at 819-569-6345.Upcoming • SENIOR HOCKEY (NAHL): Friday, Sorel Mission at Sherbrooke St-François, Léopold-Drolet Palais des Sports, Sherbrooke, 8 p.m.• JUNIOR AAA HOCKEY: Saturday, Coaticook Frontaliers at Champlain Cougars, Léopold-Drolet Palais des Sports, Sherbrooke, 7:30 p.m.• MEN’S CEGEP AA SOCCER: Sunday, Sherbrooke at Champlain Cougars, Lennoxville, 3 p.m.• WOMEN'S CEGEP AA SOCCER: Sunday, Victoriaville Vulkins at Champlain Cougars, Lennoxville, 1 p.m.• WOMEN’S UNIVERSITY SOCCER Sunday, Montreal Carabins at Bishop’s Gaiters, Lennoxville, noon.Concordia Stingers at Sherbrooke Vert & Or, University of Sherbrooke Stadium, 1 p.m.• MEN’S UNIVERSITY SOCCER: Sunday, Concordia Stingers at Sherbrooke Vert & Or, University of Sherbrooke Stadium, 3 p.m.• MEN’S CEGEP AA FOOTBALL: Saturday, CEGEP de l’Amiante at Sherbrooke Volontaires, University of Sherbrooke Stadium, 7 p.m.• MEN & WOMEN’S UNIVERSITY CROSS-COUNTRY : Saturday, University of Sherbrooke Vert & Or Invitational, University of Sherbrooke.SUNDAY, »' AXY OCTOBER 3RD, “ 8 P.M.“Pre-Show” starting at 7 p.m.Lots of great prizes to win!

Look here! and Oh! Look there! You hear it shouted everywhere, ’Ore every hill and every rise, Enough to hurt a painter’s eyes.The point I make, if there is one, Is we miss out on lots of fun.If I were boss and had my way, These weeks would be a holiday.Any day the sun shone bright, Work places would be shut up tight.Off to the Townships we would go, One great “hurrah” before the snow.Our treasures aren’t just coal and oil, Nor wood and fish for which we toil.There’s value of another kind, That can be stored up in our mind.Don’t take for granted this great show, That most on earth will never know'.Get out each day, the viewing’s free, And thank the Lord for the maple tree!

or worse, his record.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Stanbridge East Thelma Rhicard Congratulations to Amanda Piette for earning three Massey-Vanier awards.At a S.E.United Church Women’s monthly meeting, Jean Cogswell (Mrs.Rev.Malcolm) was presented an UCW Life Membership Pin and Certificate by Pres.Thelma Rhicard.Jean has been a valuable group member and also an asset to our church.Condolences are sent to the family of Alexander Vigneault whose funeral took place at St.Damien Church in Bedford.Rev.Malcolm Cogswell’s last regular service for The Bedford Charge was held at the S.E.United Church with a joint gathering of Bedford, Mystic, Philips-burg and S.E.congregations.The topic for his sermon was “Ongoing Mission”: he summed it up by saying that we will be fulfilling our part with a new minister, he will in a different way, as he will not be a full time minister, but that the important thing is that we fulfill it.Mrs.(Jean) Cogswell was presented with flowers and both were given certificates for restaurants.A lunch was served with a special cake with this inscription: “May God Bless Your Retirement.” It is with regret that 1 report that they are now residing in Sutton, that Rev.and Mrs.Arnold Godsoe of the Anglican Church in Frelighsburg have moved to N.B., and Father André Vincent is now in Cowansville.They will be missed by their congregations.On August 1st, the annual service at The Stanbridge Ridge Stone Church was held with an attendance of 55 which included friends from Brassard, Cowansville, Toronto, N.B., and Vermont.The S.E.W.I.opted to hold a social time at the Parochial Hall instead of a summer outing: seventeen members and friends met at lunch time for delivered pizza, and a birthday cake with ice cream in honour of Dianne Tait’s special day.Games were played, stories and jokes read then the video “Calendar Girls” watched.Lots of fun was had by all!

Whenever you are in no-trump, always count your top tricks first.Here, you have six: two spades, three hearts (given the lead) and one diamond.If you can win the first trick with dummy’s heart 10, it will be easy to establish four club tricks and cruise home.But when the Trojan South did call for the 10, thinking West had led from a suit headed by the Q-9-8-6, East covered with the queen.South won with his ace and saw that playing on clubs was now pointless since he didn’t have a hand entry left.Instead, declarer played a low diamond to dummy’s queen.East won with the king and returned a heart.As the cards lay, South couldn’t recover.Now return to trick one and win with dummy’s heart king.You can continue with the club queen and another club, cruising to an easy nine tricks: two spades, two hearts, one diamond and four clubs.Always keep an eye on your entries.Friday, Oct.1,2004 LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Joint ventures are particularly promising for you today because everyone involved will do all that they can to help things along.You’ll set the example by showing them how to pull together.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) -
