WWW.SHERBROOKERECORD.COM Spirit of Terry Fox lives on through annual run By Kate Shingler Lennoxville It was an overcast, gloomy day in Lennoxville yesterday, but the mood was sunny as nearly 350 people took part in the annual Terry Fox Run, held at Bishop’s College School (BCS) in Lennoxville.The majority of participants were students from BCS (all of whom were required to run or volunteer) as well as roughly 40 students from Stanstead College, and the Bishop's University basketball team.The 21-year-old cancer research T-Day 2002 BRUŒ PATTON/œRRESPONDENT From dogging to square dancing

bike.The Lennoxville run is actually in its 22nd year — a local Fox supporter organized one in 1980, in support of the young Canadian icon before The Marathon of Hope became an annual event.Sunday morning was the first time participants on bikes were included in the Lennoxville run site.Only one BCS student opted to bike, however.Most ran— crossing the finish line red-faced and panting with fellow students cheering from the sidelines.This was also the first time the run was held as a non-competitive event, with no prizes or times, as stressed by the Fox foundation.“It changes the whole run,” noted Denise Addona, BCS assistant director of athletics.“A lot of people want to do it as competitive event.” Addona, who spent much of the morning accepting registration forms in the school gymnasium, believes the event is worthwhile for her students.See Terry Fox, Page 2 PERRY beaton/special Nearly 350 walkers, runners and bikers braved inclement weather Sunday for Lennoxville’s 22nd

charged with sexual assault on three young victims, will face trial at the Sherbrooke courthouse in November after a judge refused a defence petition to hold the trial outside the St-Francis court district.Defence lawyer Pierre Gagnon had requested the change of venue because of the publicity the case has received in the Sherbrooke and Magog regions.While Superior Court judge Paul-Mar-cel Bellavance agreed the petition was not without foundation, he ruled that despite extensive media coverage, it was still possible to find 12 impartial citizens able to hear the case.“According to the numbers provided by the court clerk, the population of the judicial district of St-Francis is 269,426 of which some 191,138 residents are, as of today, registered on our electoral lists and therefore can be called up for jury duty,” he said.“Of those 191,138,1 am reasonably convinced that we can find 12 citizens ready to act with neutrality.” However, the judge promised that if 12 impartial jurors cannot be found during the jury selection process, he will review his decision to keep the trial in Sherbrooke.“But for now I have rejected the petition as premature,” he added.See Côté, Page 5

Elizabeth May dismissed it as a "useless talkfest." Now, it appears the United Nations has come around to her way of thinking.The UN has decided to hold no more extravagant international summits on environment and development - at least until there is some proof that governments are fulfilling the pledges they have already made.Canada should play role of honest broker with Iraq: former weapons inspector Calgary The former chief weapons inspector in Iraq says Canada could play the role of an “honest broker" between the United Nations and Saddam Hussein, quelling the need for military force.American Scott Ritter told Global Sunday the United States has not proven Iraqi president Saddam Hussein is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and therefore shouldn't be able to dictate whether an attack on his country is necessary.“Nations such as Canada could come forward and offer the credibility of their nation, not as part of the United Nations, but as Canada — a nation that respects the UN Charter — and say, we offer our services to monitor the interaction between the Iraqi government and the weapons inspectors to ensure not only the Iraqi government adheres to its responsibility but the inspectors do not deviate," he said.Ritter, who returned from a trip to Baghdad last week, told the Iraqi government that military action against their country was not justified.Israel ready for second round against Saddam Jerusalem Israel entered the solemn Yom Kip-pur fast Sunday evening under a cloud of apprehension about an expected US-led attack on Iraq.Last week, Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein threatened to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth" if Baghdad was attacked by American forces.However, Israel's chief of staff Lt.-Gen.Moshe Ya'alon said the country is prepared "both defensively and offensively." "The other side very well knows Israel is capable of defending itself if attacked," he added.;¦ MISE SUR TOI ¦ Terry Fox: Cont’d from Page 1 “The cause is the bottom line,” she said.Though several participants noted that there were fewer runners this year than last, Jeff Bray, BCS assistant director, believes the event saw the usual overall attendance.“There are about the same number of bodies,” he said.“It’s a great turnout, considering the downpour this morning.” Prior to the event, the school prepared students for the run by showing an educational video about Fox .“They have a good idea of what the Terry Fox run is about.” Bray was likely right.Stas Robinson, 13, who ran the five-kilometre portion, had this to say about Fox: “He was a man that lost his right leg and decided to run to raise money for cancer.” In his second year running in the five-km category, Robinson said he wasn’t as tired as he was last year.Local Grade 4 student, Monty B.Smith also completed the five-km ran.Barely out of breath at the end of the route, he explained that he “runned a bit, and walked a bit.” The 9-year-old has participated four times in the fundraiser, and knows a bit about Fox’s legacy.“I just know that he was sick and was trying to get some money.” The foundation, which became a trust independent of the Canadian Cancer Society in 1988, has raised a total of $300 million worldwide since the run was established.Weather Monday: Cloudy with clear periods.Clearing late in the day.High near 19.Tuesday: Variable cloudiness.Low near 6.High near 22.Wednesday: Sunny.Low near 6.High near 25.Thursday: Sunny.Low near 9.High near 24.Normals for the period: Low 7.High 19.Ben by Daniel Shelton RA6WEEP Monday, September 16, 2002 page 3 ¦¦THEM RECORD Health board welcomes new manager, executive r r, mm : v.v.wv.v.v: ÜSiiiüiis : y : PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL Yves D’Amboise (left) was named as chief executive officer by the regional health board to head the Régie régionale de la santé et des services sociaux de l’Estrie.Pierre Leblond (right) was also named as vice-chairman.By Rita Legault Sherbrooke Back from a two-month summer break, the director of the Estrie Regional Health Board started the new season with a new manager and a new health board executive.Although he was appointed in June, Chief Executive Officer Yves D’Amboise was on hand last week for the first public meeting since being named by the provincial government to head the Régie régionale de la santé et des services sociaux de l’Estrie.D’Amboise, who until recently was the director general of the health board in the Bas Saint-Laurent, returned to the region where he got much of his experience in health care management at the Centre jeunesse de l’Estrie.D’Amboise, whose appointment as CEO was welcomed by directors of local health care institutions, was named by government decree — a controversial part of the government’s new law which eliminated health board elections in favour of members being appointed directly by the government.Originally set up to decentralize, regionalize and democratize health care decisions, critics of the new boards complain the appointments reverse the process, turning Régies into executors of government and health ministry decisions taken in Quebec City.The original draft of the legislation had called for board meetings to be held behind closed doors, but the government backtracked on the controversial proposal.Upon that negative backdrop, the newly appointed board will have its work cut out for itself.At last week’s meeting, the appointed board also elected its new officers.The board will now be chaired by Nicole Dorin, a researcher for Quebec’s Council on the Status of Women.The vice-chairman will be current board union representative Pierre Leblond, an operator for Domtar.Former board chairman Jacques Lemay, director of the Centre communautaire juridique de l’Estrie, opted to sit on the board’s audit committee along with accountant Marc Quessy from Meryll Lynch; nurse Daniel Lussier, from the nurse’s union; Agathe Fillion, a parent committee representative from the Fédération des comités de parents de la province de Québec (FCPPQ); and former Champlain College director Alex Potter, vice-chair of the board at the Sherbrooke University Geriatric Institute and the anglophone community rep on the board.D’Amboise noted that for the first time, the books of the regional health board will be reviewed by the provincial Auditor General — another aspect of the new law.Also sitting on the board is a regional medical commission comprising Dr.Jean Boilard, a doctor from the Centre de Santé Intégrale in Cookshire; education rep Christiane Daoust, general manager of the Commission scolaire des Sommets school board; Johanne Desrosiers, a professor in the faculty of medicine at the University of Sherbrooke; retired CSN union organizer Pierre Gendron; University of Sherbrooke professor and physiotherapist Michel Tousignant; and community group rep Louise Lévesque, manager of the regional suicide prevention center JEVI.The two final representatives, named for their experience in management, are Lise Corbeil-Parenteau, a customer service representative at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and Normand Nadeau, a consultant with Concept 21 inc.They were selected by the government from a list drawn up by other sitting board members.The board also named board official Nicole Michaud to sit as the regional commissioner for the quality of services at the regional health board.Michaud, who is charged with examining complaints from patients and health care customers, has held the position since the spring, but according to the new law had to be confirmed by the CEO of the health board.The board also approved the selection process for the manager of health care and social service institutions.Another provision of the new law is that the appointment of new managers must also be reviewed by the CEO of the health board.“They don’t need my approval, but they must consult the health board of their decision beforehand,” remarked D’Amboise.The board also approved a balanced budget for the upcoming year and the annual report for 2001-2002.Briefs Car accident leaves one dead A woman was killed near Farnham Friday afternoon when the minivan she was driving crossed into oncoming traffic, striking a tractor trailer truck head on.The driver, Hélène Chiasson, 32, swerved into the wrong lane at approximately 1 p.m.Friday.The driver of the truck, which was transporting four cars, was in shock, but otherwise unhurt.Sûreté du Québec Sgt.Laurent Masson said an autopsy will be performed to determine whether alcohol or drugs were involved.Route 104 was closed until 9:30 p.m.due to the accident.Forest product company damaged in fire A forest product company on Mclv-er Road in Bury, Produits Forestiers Champlain Inc, was damaged in an early morning fire Sunday.No one was hurt in the fire, which destroyed 600,000 bags of wood, caus- ing $500,000 in damages, according to Sûreté du Québec Sgt.Laurent Masson.Bomb scare in Windsor The Windsor high school, Pavillon du Tournesol, had a bomb scare Friday afternoon.At approximately 1 p.m.the school received a telephone call notifying staff of a bomb in the building.Students and staff were evacuated until 2:30 p.m.when police and firefighters determined there was no validity to the bomb threat and classes resumed.Individual - Couple - Family Counselling Lies Ouwerkerk MA., M.Ed (819) 578-4778 Interpersonal Relations Marital Issues Separation/Divorce Stepfamilies Loss/Bereavement Depression/Anxiety Post-Traumatic Stress Confidence Building s Dating issues * David Price, M.P.DAVID PRICE, M.P.Compton-Stanstead 4777 Bourque Blvd.Rock Forest, QC J1N 2G6 (819) 573-5200 Office (819)573-5190 fax email: pricedl ©parl.gc.ca Cookshire (819) 875-1157 Coaticook (819) 849-3113 www.davidprice.parl.gc.ca RECORD Michel Duval Advertising Consultant Tel.: 619-569-9525 Fax: 619-621-3179 email: sherbrooke recond^Mdeotron.ca | 33sssSSBB^39BSSS5S3BSS page 4 Monday, September 16, 2002 Got a question?See Tuesday's paper for the answer from your professionals.mroiKfls Stephan Elkas FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIUM 601 Co"shei's,ref' Sherbrooke (819) 565-1155 JRD JOLY RIENDEAU 8.DUKE CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS 3490 Galt St.West, Sherbrooke Tel.: (819) 346-0333 • Fax: (819) 566-2867 A.Jackson Noble, C.A.Marthe Lecours Vice-President .PCNTKNE WJ VOYflQE OE L'ESTRIE (1980) INC 2339 Les Promenades King, Sherbrooke (819) 563-7343 525 1st Avenue, Asbestos (819) 879-7188 Quebec Permit Holder CLINIQUE OPTOMÉTRIQUE OPTO Dr Alain Côté, O.D.réseau;

Cowansville gets under the growing umbrella of the SQ MAURICE CROSSFIELD The Cowansville Police have turned in their municipal blues for green Sûreté du Quebec uniforms.Each of the 19 officers will work at the Brome-Missisquoi detachment.Officers officially sworn in as members of SQ’s Brome-Missisquoi detachment By Maurice Crossfield Cowansville After more than a century of providing its own police protection, the Town of Cowansville is now under the wing of the Sûreté du Québec.While the SQ officially took the helm as of 12:01 a.m.on Friday, Sept.13, the ceremony marking the occasion was held later in the day.During the ceremony, 19 officers of the Cowansville Police Force were officially sworn in as members of the SQ’s Brome-Missisquoi detachment.“I want to thank all of my officers who, over my last five years as police chief, gave meaning to the words ‘serving the public,’” said Roger Poirier, who returns to the ranks of the SQas a lieutenant and interim commanding officer of the Brome-Missisquoi detachment.“Excellent careers within the SQ await our younger officers.” Poirier also thanked Gaston Lacroix, who used to be Cowansville’s assistant police chief, and who will be staying with the municipality as fire chief.The integration of the Cowansville Police into the SQ is the largest of its kind in the Estrie region.Bedford and Farnham had already folded their police forces into the SQ while Brome Lake is scheduled to make the changeover in late November.“As of today it is as if you were always SQ officers,” said Florent Gagné, director general of the SQ.“There are not two categories of police officers.” Gagné also took the opportunity to reassure the Cowansville population that the SQ will respond to their needs.Reorganization The changeover is the latest step in a massive reorganization of Quebec’s policing practices.Under the terms of Law 19, passed last year, towns with fewer than 25,000 residents were given the choice of adopting the SQor beefing up their own forces to meet tough new standards.“We had to analyze it from many angles, the ‘for’ and the ‘against,’” said Cowansville mayor Arthur Fauteux.In the end, the SQ option met Cowansville’s needs, while costing the municipality less than keeping and increasing its own police force.The ceremony was attended by a number of po-litical figures from across the region, from Brome-Missisquoi MP Denis Paradis to area mayors and councillors.Representatives of a number of community groups were also on hand for the ceremony.After being presented with their new SQ badges, each officer was also given a commemorative plaque recognizing their time as Cowansville police officers.At the same time, the former town cops were welcomed to the Association of Quebec Provincial Police Officers.“You now have a double mission: The safety of the residents of Cowansville and the safety of all Quebec residents,” said Sylvain Paquette of the AQPPO.Paquette was himself a municipal police officer in Waterloo until that force was absorbed into the SQa couple of years ago.By the end of the year, Brome-Missisquoi will be policed exclusively by the SQ covered by a detachment of 64 police officers and seven civilian workers.For the time being the police will be sharing the cramped quarters of the Dunham detachment offices, until the local public security committee decides if that building will be expanded, or if a new location will be found. Monday, September 16, 2002 page 5 Côté: Cont’d from Page 1 Bellavance noted that while the case received much media coverage, none of it has insisted on a guilty verdict.“Some of the reports were harsh in reporting the charges which all by themselves revealed a conceivably sordid affair,” he ruled.Bellavance noted there were two waves of media coverage: one that followed Côté’s arrest and another when, unable to find a lawyer, the court ordered a publicly funded one.The judge suggested that media use vocabulary that respected the accused’s presumption of innocence and the fact that there had not yet been a guilty plea or verdict.He suggested the use of the term ‘plaintiff rather than ‘victim,’ and ‘accused’ rather than ‘aggressor’ or ‘presumed rapist.’ Bellavance observed that delays in the justice system “had the beneficial effect of calming passions and diminishing emotional reactions.” But even despite time and distance, Justice Bellavance said it would be hard to find any well-informed citizen in Quebec who had not heard of the case, and he remarked that even ifhe transferred the trial to Granby or Gaspé, the local jury would still have to analyze the same evidence.Bellavance stated that the public has a right to know about judicial affairs on their Record territory through trials in the community that they and the local media can attend.Because of a partial publication ban, the media cannot report much of Bellavance’s 20-page decision.Like an earlier gag order on the hearing, the publication ban also prevents media from identifying Côté’s main victim or reviewing the charges against him.Côté, who sat slumped in the prisoner’s dock, did not react to the unfavorable ruling.During most of the hearing his eyes remained closed, although he opened them a slit every once in a while to glance at the judge or the pack of journalists covering the case.Unlike the last hearing, when Côté had hoped to obtain bail while awaiting trial, his wife and a handful of relatives were not on hand to lend him support Outside the courtroom, Crown prosecutor Hélène Fabi, who has been ready to proceed for quite some time, said she was pleased with the decision to keep the trial in Sherbrooke.Defence lawyer Gagnon said he was satisfied that the judge was concerned about the importance of finding an impartial juiy.The trial is scheduled for the fall term that begins Nov, 4.In the meantime, the judge has asked that a list of some 500 potential jurors be selected in the usual fashion — that is pulled at random from local electoral lists.The judge and lawyers will meet again Sept.29 for a preparatory conference to set the date for trial and any pretrial motions.lililtll ?Mm Electrical Fire at S.E.S.PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL Fire officials Michel

- — THE* RECORD Community Forum Editorial Thank you for the reminder Townshippers’ Thank you Townshippers’ Association for reminding this often fragile and weary community of its vitality, resilience and promise.As thousands gathered Saturday at the former Sherbrooke Agricultural fairgrounds for a celebration of community, gratitude was repeatedly expressed to the volunteers who staged the mega event which allowed old friends to meet, artisans to show off their wares, groups to recruit new members and a host of others to disseminate information.More importantly, this mirror on Townships Anglos provided irrefutable evidence of a vibrant community with a past, present and future.It’s what they do.Since 1979, when some 600 English-speaking Townshippers created an association to represent their community, the association has never wavered from its raison d’être.From its inception, Townshippers’ has endeavoured to keep the history, contribution and traditions of the Eastern Townships’ English-speaking community alive, while safeguarding the interests of those who remain here.The Association has monitored and responded to political challenges and weathered criticism for being ‘too hard’ for daring to speak out, or ‘too soft’ for opting for a non-confronta-tional stance.Armchair critics say the federally-funded association should be more visible; others say, invisible.A cursory look at the past 23 years demonstrates that the gentle but persistent persuasion approach has borne fruit.In its formative years, with a skeleton staff and crew of committed volunteers, the Association submitted some 18 briefs to public bodies positioning English-speaking Townshippers on a range of issues.The Association went on to sponsor an inquiry into the economic future of English-speaking Townshippers followed by the publication and dissemination of the findings.The next year, the association held a symposium on the future of the community.The conclusions of that broad-based think tank continues to provide the focus of Townshippers programming.The Association’s Townships of Tomorrow committee has continued to address the youth exodus problem by providing inspired leadership for young Quebecers from others who have successfully carved a niche for themselves in their own regions.The co-chairs of last weekend’s extravaganza were both under 30.The Association has gone to bat to save heritage buildings and has lobbied successfully to maintain historically accurate and relevant place names on signs and highways.In the late 1980s, the Association held a symposium entitled ‘Building the heritage-tourism network’ in an effort to preserve the region’s heritage while capitalizing on its tourism potential.Today, it hosts a Web site which provides an online historical tour of the Townships.On the cultural side, it has published the works of local English-speaking writers, provided a venue for local artists and musicians and partnered with cultural institutions such as the Centre des Arts d’Orford and the Sherbrooke Symphony Orchestra, ensuring that Anglos have full access to all of the region’s riches.Access to quality health care and social services in English has been an ongoing priority of the Association, and Townshippers’ has identified and responded to the changing needs of a rapidly aging population by hosting special

parts of the Townships As Senator Raymond Setlakwe poignantly pointed out on Saturday, the unique gathering of French and English, old and young, assembled under sunny skies in the beautiful Eastern Townships is a time to recognize and be grateful for what we have compared to the plight of two-thirds of the world’s population.Thank you Townshippers’ for the reminder.SHARON McCULLY Letters to The Editor Vendetta spilling over Dear Editor, Having read as much pandering, with sympathy for Bishop Bruce Stavert as tolerable.I’ll cast my vote for the people “His Eminence" is attempting to take advantage of at Magog.This man is apparently flaunting his position and influence to enforce authority, and intends to gain control at all cost.He’ll stoop to any low to make his point and win out over those he is supposed to lead spiritually.It is quite evident this man Stavert’s vendetta against Reverend Ross has spilled over, and is now directed at local Anglicans.How else, can one imagine justification for demanding a mortgage on St.Luke’s Church and Hall, at a payback rate out of reach for people of that parish?Worse, is that Bishop Stavert could have prevented the crisis at hand, and did nothing to avert it.Now ‘His Holiness’ is using his velvet voice backed by a ‘mouthpiece’ and another righteous cleric who is financial wizard, trying to convince everyone he is justified in his demands on the people at St.Luke’s.More ridiculous is the dominance he tries to impose, setting himself up as the ‘head honcho.’ It’s like him telling people they’ve got to love him or else.I’ve got news for Bishop Stavert.He’s got to start by making people ‘love-em, not hate-em,’ and right now the Bishop is anything but a popular guy around Magog and in surrounding communities.Dereck Lyons

into teamwork for the entire family.COURTESY PATRICK LEMIEUX After completing his MBA in Spain, 32-year-old Patrick Lemieux joined the Nobel Prize-winning organization Doctors Without Borders (MSF) as a co-ordinator because he wanted to make a difference in the lives of those who are suffering.Townshipper leaves law firm to join Doctors Without Borders By Nelson Afonso When Townshipper Patrick Lemieux left his job at a prestigious law firm to travel the world, images of poverty and despair in places like Peru, Cambodia and Vietnam changed his life forever.After completing his MBA in Spain, the 32-year-old joined the Nobel Prize-winning organization Doctors Without Borders (MSF) as a coordinator because he wanted to make a difference in the lives of those who are suffering.“Saving lives.I guess that is what explains why I am out here,” Lemieux told The Record recently from the central African nation of Burundi.“In the particular context of people suffering, most notably beautiful children, this idea (saving people) has significance for me.That is what gets me out of bed every morning.” Lemieux’s duties setting up the MSF mission in Burundi last November included drafting an action plan, securing materials and medicines, welcoming staff from around the world, monitoring the local political and social situation, defining objectives and everything else needed to co-ordinate eight health centres and two hospitals in insecure areas.Intense ethnic violence between Hutu and Tutsi factions in Burundi has created hundreds of thousands of refugees and left tens of thousands dead.The rebel Hutu, about 14 per cent of the population, practise a form of subsistence guerrilla warfare which relies on looting and coercing the civilian population for food, explained Lemieux.Recent fighting has accentuated problems such as malnutrition, and has led to certain epidemics.Life expectancy at birth in Burundi is 46 years.See Lemieux, Page 8 Fkatlri; Story Townships Life page 8 Monday, September 16, 2002 Record Feature Story Townshippers doing what they do best ‘He loves what he does and that’s important’ Lemieux: Cont’d from Page 7 “I call him my Mother Theresa,” joked his father, Dr.Bernard Lemieux, from the family home in North Hatley.The elder Lemieux has worked at the CHUS since 1969.“He loves what he does and that’s important.Eventually, when he is ready, he will move on to something else-something safer I hope.” Lemieux’s mother, Minneapolis native Patricia Campion, is a research nurse at the CHUS.Burundi’s economy is predominantly agricultural with roughly 90 per cent of the population dependent on subsistence agriculture.The small nation’s economic health depends on the coffee crop, which accounts for 80 per cent of export earnings.Other agricultural products include cotton, tea, corn, sweet potatoes and bananas.Always work to be done Between September, 2000 and April, 2001, Malaria rose to epidemic levels in nine of the country’s 16 provinces.At the peak of the outbreak,-' MSF teams held over 75,000 consultations a week.In total, MSF treated over 1.2 million patients.A similar outbreak of cholera in Burundi’s capital Bujumbura earlier this year was also brought under control by MSF and local health care workers.“We are in fact on the verge of embarking on a vaccination campaign to stem an on-going meningitis outbreak in the country,” continued Lemieux, who welcomed 2,300 students from all over Canada and New England for Law Games while law department class president at the University of Sherbrooke.“Ruyigi (province), where we run our primary and secondary health care programs, is home to a fair share of the country’s numerous challenges such as rebel infiltrations, road ambushes, land mines and hand grenade attacks.” Naturally very active Lemieux, who regularly worked six-day weeks as a lawyer and was regularly handed important projects to co-ordinate, was also very active as a child.“He has always been very active and he has always liked being with people, helping them get organized," added Bernard.“And he has always loved adventures.” The elder Lemieux believes that his son’s travels to South America, Europe and Asia enabled him to see how others less fortunate than himself were living and what could.be done to help them.“When he was about 28 or 29, he told me ‘It’s time I give back to the community’.I said do it but I didn’t think he would be away that long,” said Bernard.While regular MSF missions last about nine months, Lemieux has been in Burundi for almost one year.Support of loved ones is important Lemieux’s friends and family weren’t sure what to make of seeing a law school graduate working at one of Montreal’s mqst influential law firms (Ogilvy Renault) head for war zones such as Kosovo, the Congo and now Burundi.“My family and friends have always been very understanding toward me.They are rather discouraged, but are understanding,” Lemieux said, adding that he hopes to be back in the Townships in November.“Obviously, hearing that someone you know has to be evacuated every once in a while because of mortars falling a few metres from his house, or because of a hand grenade exploding in the back yard, is not comforting.“I suppose that those back home who keep track of my movements are rightfully worried.I know my family is.But they bare with me and that’s all the support I need when I’m away.” 1195 Galt Street East, Sherbrooke • Tel.: 819-569-9525 • Fax: 819-821-3179 e-mail: sherbrookerecord@videotron.ca Jo-Ann Hovey Yves Robert

Monday, September 16, 2002 page 9 Townships Life ^^¦— ¦THEwi ¦¦¦ __^= Record Generation Today Learning how to turn housework into teamwork Are you a parent who regularly tries to convince your children that housework should be shared by all?Yet, do you find yourself nagging, begging, and arguing all the time about getting the chores done as they had promised, to the point that you finally end up walking the dog, setting the table, and picking up the dirty laundry yourself anyway?Or are you regularly taking on certain household tasks your children are supposed to do, such as cleaning their room, because you want them to be happy and carefree?Do you feel sorry for them when they have to work?If so, chances are that your , current strategies of engaging your family members into chores around the house need a quick tune-up.There are various reasons for wanting children to participate in daily routines and chores at home.Some parents just want to get the job done and simply need some extra pairs of hands.Others Lies Ouwerkerk want their children to learn some household skills, such as cleaning, cooking and ironing.Yet others are convinced that purposeful contribution to the family generates a sense of accomplishment, team spirit and personal responsibility.And then there are parents who want to do it all themselves because they are either hung up in their traditional roles, thinking that they are only worthwhile when they are the capable and responsible member of the family, or they just want their children to enjoy life and play.Unfortunately, these parents often overlook the fact that their children will be missing out on great developmental opportunities: having a sense of purpose and independence while being a vital part of a joint venture, learning indispensable life sldlls, and developing values such as caring for other people.Working together as a family ideally starts when children are still very small, around two to three years old.Usually, young children are eager to “help” their parents, because they love to enter and imitate the adult world, and they enjoy the reward of a “job well done”.Parents often underestimate the potential of younger children, seeing them as incapable or too young to fully understand the job.By taking some extra time to instruct them or by sharing tasks with them, however, parents can get most children to follow through in age-appropriate chores such as gathering and helping to prepare food, setting and clearing the table, running errands, gardening and caring for animals.As little children have no preconceived ideas about how a family should act, they will in this way grow up assuming that in a family everyone helps and that certain routines are just the way things are.Also, the more they learn when they are young, the more they can do by themselves later on.What if parents do not engage their children in household chores when they are little and much later they come to realize that times have changed and that they want to include them in the tasks around the house?Is it too late to expect a helping hand from children who have not only grown accustomed to being pampered, but will also have busy schedules filled with homework, social activities and sports engagements by that time?It is quite normal that changes to an established pattern will initially be met with resistance or rebellion, as it means giving up some free and personal time to a common cause.Moreover, helping the family is usually not high on a teenager’s priority list.Those predictable reactions should not discourage parents, however.It is never too late to break outdated habits and welcome more efficient ones, even if that might initially mean two steps forward and one backward.In order to be able to enlist teenagers, it would be important to make them part of the decision-making process and have them carry responsibilities that are mutually agreed on, rather than nagging or ordering them around.To that effect, the family meeting is a very effective tool.Family members could come up jointly with a list of household chores and tasks to be accomplished, and each person could then agree to take on one or more jobs.As clarity and consistency are the keys to the success of such an enterprise, it would be good to be specific about all aspects of the job including frequency and deadlines, and post a chart with all this information in a central, clearly visible place in the house.Some families also assign one family member — preferably not the most involved parent — to check the chart each day to make sure that tasks will be completed.Complaints or suggestions should be kept for the agenda of the next meeting.Of course there will be slip-ups and setbacks, so it is important to keep expectations realistic, as is wise for any change.Viewing change as a process of small steps instead of an overnight turnaround, and using one’s sense of humor, patience, encouragement and respect for differences, are all indispensable ingredients for a new system to succeed eventually.Lastly, most educators discourage the idea of linking allowance and routine tasks around the house.Although allowance is a wonderful tool for children to learn to use money responsibly and to make wise decisions, it is recommended to keep it separate from household chores that are part of the basic responsibilities that family members have toward each other.However, if children want to earn some extra money by doing jobs that otherwise would be performed by people outside the family, it would be fair to pay for that particular job.— Lies Ouwerkerk, M.Ed„ MFT is a licensed couple AND FAMILY THERAPIST WITH A PRIVATE PRACTICE IN Lennoxville.She is also a counsellor and

Part I: What’s needed to make wine?Winemaking can be divided into four major steps.First, you harvest the best quality of fruit possible, never using bruised, over ripe or damaged fruit.Second is fermentation.In the third step, the new wine is clarified and stabilized.Last but not least is the aging of the wine; this enhances its qualities.While each step contributes to the _______________________ quality of your Anna May Kinney wine, the _________________________ most important determinant comes in the first step.If the fruit you use is not good, no amount of work will redeem your wine.Whether you want to make grape, chokecherry, blackberry or dandelion wine, you will need the same basic tools before beginning.If you are making wine in plastic, make sure it is food-quality plastic, the kind that will not leach out lethal chemicals into your wine.Do not use garbage pails; even if you bought one just for this purpose, they are not made by the same standards as Tupperware or other food-quality plastics.I prefer to use glass or stainless steel whenever possible.If you must use a large plastic container, it does not cost that much extra to invest in a good quality product from a wine supply store.Plan to start small; making only a gallon at a time is much easier and less waste-ful while you learn.The first thing you need is a container to ferment your fruit, sugar and water in; this is called a fermenter.Remember that the skins and fruit pulp take up a lot of room, so you will need a two-gallon container to make one gallon of wine.¦ ~ .ft ' x-jp •bei * “Inspirations” in Lennoxville Mrs.Mary-Ellen Kirby, owner of the new store located at 269 Queen St.(formerly the Lennoxville Pentecostal Church) in Lennoxville, was proud to welcome friends and relatives at the occasion of the opening of her new store.A wide selection of books, greeting cards, music and gift items is offered.Mr.David Price, M.P.of Compton-Stanstead, is invited to cut the ribbon for the special occasion.Drop in for a visit and be inspired! ADVERTORIAL Leave your wine in the fermenter for four to six days, stirring at least once a day.After initial fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred to the appropriate sized carboy glass vessel for secondary fermentation and to allow the wine to clear before bottling.Wine stores sell both glass and plastic carboys in a variety of sizes, but used wine gallons will do the job.You’ll also need a supply of bottles.To save money, stop by your local pub or tavern and ask them if you could have a few of their empties for wine making.You should be able to get both gallon jugs and screw top wine or liquor bottles.I honestly prefer used liquor bottles because they had 40 per cent alcohol in them, and you only need to drain them out and use.I really do not recommend using wine bottles in the beginning.After you learn how to make a good wine, you can invest in a corker, corks and wine bottles.Used wine bottles tend to have sediment, and unless they are rinsed out after each use, the sediment at the bottom dries up and is extremely hard to dislodge.Their long, thin necks make them even harder to clean out.Thus, using used wine bottles is risky.They would have to be washed in hot, soapy water, using a long-handled brush to dean out the bottom of the bottle.Bottles must be rinsed many times to eliminate soap residue, which could spoil your wine.Some other things you’ll need • Airlock and stopper: An airlock prevents harmful oxygen from coming in contact with fermenting wine.A stopper with hole is sometimes needed to fit the stopper properly in different sized openings.If you are like me and make one gallon at a time, that would mean investing in many airlocks and stoppers.Instead I buy a bag of large balloons and carefully put one over the top of each gallon.It will keep oxygen out of your wine.I let the air out of the balloons now and then.When they stop refilling with air, the wine is no longer fermenting, and ready to bottle.• Long handled spoons: For mixing ingredients; plastic or stainless may be used, but wood should be avoided.• Syphon assembly: Used to transfer or “rack" the wine from vessel to vessel and when bottling.• Large funnel: Needed when transferring wine, especially if you only use glass carboys and wine jugs.• Hydrometer and Jar: A simple device that measures dissolved sugars in solution.As sugar is converted to alcohol, the hydrometer sinks further into the wine.The most useful tool in determining when wine is finished.Instead of spending money on buying new wine bottles, corks, corking machines and fancy carboys, invest in a good winemaking book.Sanitation and Winemaking Nothing is more important when making wine than cleanliness.They say that 90 per cent of winemaking failures are caused by poor sanitation.Sanitizing means reducing or removing bacteria and other undesirable microorganisms via heat or chemical means.Cleaning involves removing visible dirt and residue from your equipment, while sterilization means that everything (germs, worms and personality) is killed.It is both unrealistic and undesirable to create a sterile state during the winemaking process.Most sanitation is just plain common sense: wearing a hair net, keeping your hands washed and clean, making sure there is not cross-contamination between your wine making utensils and your cooking utensils if working in your kitchen, and small things like not using your mouth to start a siphon.The general rule is to wash everything just before use and then wash again when the job is finished.Also, inspect and clean equipment, paying special attention to small crevices (like scratches in plastic), nooks and crannies where bacteria and other microorganisms love to hide.Now THAT WE HAVE SOME BASICS, WE ARE READY TO EXPERIMENT WITH OUR FIRST WINE-NEXT WEEK.
