THE The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 4 JtJv ^9!s3 Tuesday, Iuly 4, 2000 65 CENTS Tory MP casts ballot for Preston Manning By Shawn Berry The Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for Shefford was part of another losing vote last Saturday when she decided to cast a vote in favour of Preston Manning as Canadian Alliance leader.Diane St-Jacques, who was accidentally given a Canadian Alliance membership card in the name of Margaret McDougall before the leadership race, reportedly said she was using her vote so no one else would, and as a strategic vote.St-Jacques used the membership card and PIN number sent to her home two weeks ago to vote.The Progressive-Conservative MP told La Voix de l’Est that she voted for Manning because “it would help us if the image of the Reform party remained affixed to the Alliance.If elected leader, Stockwell Day could give people the impression that it is a new party." St-Jacques, who also once received a Bloc-Québecois membership without asking for it, told the newspaper she voted because she feared someone else might use her vote.The MP for Shefford noted that she never paid for the $10 Alliance membership.She said she is unsure whether she will vote in the second round of the Alliance leadership race which pits Stockwell Day against Preston Manning.Waiting For The Parade Three-year-old Michael Bennett and his sister, Samantha, arrived early and waited patiently for the Canada Day parade in Hatley to get underway on Saturday.For more, please see page 5.Enjoy The Record's Canada Day coverage Hatley.page 5 Bury.page 7 Richmond.page 10 E.Farnham .page 14 Waterloo.page 16 Also, read all about The Record's open house, with photos, on pages 8-9 page 2 Tuesday, July 4, 2000 Drummondville students brought pioneers to life f » jhe sign on the front door struck me:100 acres other door It was not •X.the words that were strange.‘Hundred Acres’ is the name of the play I was about to see.What jumped out at me was that the words were in English, posted on a building in the heart of the city of Drummondville.Down to the gymnasium I headed, settling myself several rows back from the not-sohigh stage, and admiring the set.I might want to scribble down a few thoughts, I mused.Thus, the search began for pen and paper.No amount of rummaging turned up a writing instrument.Panic set in.A sense of helplessness too.“Should I ask to borrow a pen from someone at the school,” I pondered?No, ¦jf ft W Susan Mastine loto-québec Draw 2000-07-01 10 15 17 20 31 44 Bonus number: 04 Draw 101 2000-07-01 Q7 H 13 23 29 4Z Bonus number: 41 Egtra Draw 2000-07-01 NUMBER PRIZES 300424 $ 100,000 00424 $ 1,000 0424 $250 424 $ 50 24 $ 10 4 $2 E|tra Draw 2000-06-30 NUMBER PRIZES 966572 $ 100,000 66572 $ 1,000 6572 $250 572 $50 72 $ 10 2 $ 2 Total sales: $ 14,094,511 Next grand prize (approx.): WINNERS 0 0 33 1,674 26,081 that wouldn’t be fair to those preparing for the show.A feeling of desperation.No pen, no pencil - it was worse than being deprived of food or water.Eureka!

Bihler and the other employees on the scene managed to get all the customers down to safety, but there was little they could do to stop the fire.“We could only watch, we could- Christine Bihler says anyone would have acted as she did.DAVID ANDERSON/CORRESPONDENT The Bihlers plan to have part of the Spa operational immediately n’t do anything more.It went so fast, and it wasn’t really flames, it was more smoke at first, and then the flames came faster.” The fire is estimated to have caused at least $500, 000 in damage - mostly to the older guest rooms and the spa treatment areas, like the indoor pool, the four hydro-therapeutic baths, steam sauna, exercise room, tanning area, and the hot and cold water tubs.Bihler and her husband Joseph moved to Brome-Missisquoi almost eight years ago from Germany, and they have been running the spa now for six-and-a-half years.They hope to have it fully restored before their baby is born in December.Unfortunately this peak season will essentially be a dead loss, and a lot of expectant customers will have to have their reservations postponed indefinitely, but the owners aren’t too phased by this turn of events.They are certain the business will bounce back.“We can reopen our restaurant very soon, and we can also reopen the treatment rooms during the evenings, and we have six nice bedrooms left that haven’t been touched by the fire” Bihler explained.“I hope in early fall the business will continue as usual”.For now, the Bihlers can rest safely, knowing that everybody emerged unscathed from the fire, that the damage can be mended, and that Christine’s heroism will be remembered by all those paying customers who were lucky enough to have her to guide them to safety.“But just don’t make a big heroic story out of it,” she begged over the phone.“Everybody would have acted the same way.” Reluctant hero emerges from smoky spa fire Hidden Stop sign Staff A two vehicle collision in Waterloo on Friday afternoon sent one driver to hospital in Greenfield Park suffering from severe head injuries.The accident, at the corner of St-Joseph and De la cours streets, occurred when the driver of a white Toyota ran a stop sign which is apparently obstructed by branches and leaves.Sgt.Jean-Pierre Leclerc from the Waterloo detachment of the QPF said yesterday that police are investigating to to determine if the vehicle failed to come to a stop.The Toyota, driven by Jean-Claude Veilleux, a 56-year-old real estate agent, blamed for crash hit a gold coloured van before crashing into a cemetery fence.Waterloo firefighters had to help remove Veilleux from his vehicle.txm Minimal pesticide use -Clean Spring Water for irrigation Taste the difference Please call for picking conditions Come and pick your berries or call to order

The Record Danville Due to an aging membership, the Trinity United Church in Danville has decided to install an elevator and is hoping to collect $15,000 in donations to help pay for it.“We already have three members who can’t get up the stairs in the front or in the back and that makes it hard for them to attend the services,” said Rev.Reginald Jennings.“As our congregation ages, more will need help, so we think an elevator is worth the expense.” And what an expense.Jennings said their last two quotes from contractors put the cost of the three-level elevator in the $40,000-plus range.Despite this, the congregation approved the project on June 18, provided the $15,000 can be raised in the next two years.The rest of the cost will be covered by a loan from the church’s endowment fund.Jennings said he and other church members are still looking for a lower quote so as not to drain church funds too much.“I know a church in Morin Heights that had to put in a similar elevator and it only cost them about $30,000, so we’re going to seek more bids.” The elevator is to be installed near the rear entrance of the church, so that the elderly and the handicapped can either descend to the basement, or rise to the sanctuary and make their way to the pews.At present, members and visitors who have trouble walking have to be helped up the church’s steep and numerous front steps.The church is also frequently used for community events such as the Mack Sennet festival and various dinners and get-togethers.“We want to be inclusive, and that becomes difficult if some of those wanting in can’t use the stairs,” said Jennings.“We don’t want anyone left out.” Volunteer Marlene Brown said the church has already collected $972 from individual donations and hopes more money will come in from fund-raising events such as an ice-cream social to be held in the basement next Saturday night, July 8.Brown said other fund-raising events could include raffles and rummage sales.“We even had someone offer us a cow as a raffle prize,” she said.“We’re going to think about that one.” Jennings said revenue from future weddings and funerals will also go towards the project.Another fund-raising method will be to offer memorial plaques to be hung in the church in exchange for a donation.Congestion cause of Canada Day collisions Philip A.Godin and Shawn Berry Knowlton Residents of Brome Lake are questioning the town’s policy of allowing parking on both sides of residential streets during major festivities after a collision and minor accident occurred during celebrations opening Canada Day festivities on Saturday.The collision between a Volkswagen and an Acura, which occurred at the corner of Maple and Victoria streets in Knowlton, sent one driver to hospital with serious injuries.Three other people were treated for minor injuries.“There just isn’t enough space to maneuver around two-way traffic when cars are parked on either side of IStrcfeuiberries 1 OVER 30 YEARS OF FAITHFUL

Thor Bishoprick, “and it’s nearly impossible to see at intersections.” Police Chief Richard Burcome said the number of cars parked on both sides of the street could have been a cause of the accident.“It could have been that the driver’s vision was obstructed,” he said.“The cars,” he added, “were all parked legally.” The driver of the Volkswagen, he said, had a stop sign against her.Bur-corn said it is possible the driver didn’t see the stop sign or stopped and failed to yield the right of way.A second accident occurred shortly after, less than a block away, on Victoria street when a car leaving a driveway was hit.The accidents occurred as hundreds of vehicles descended on the small town where parking spaces near festivities -are at a premium.Victoria Street becomes

agricole du Quebec (SFA) , the body provided funding for 560 agricultural development projects in Estrie last year totaling $69 million, a 25 per cent increase over the previous fiscal year.The SFA manages a guaranteed loan portfolio of $282 million and does business with over 1,500 enterprises in the region.Commenting on the results for fiscal year 1999-2000, regional director Denise Dubé said that dairy production remained the dominant agricultural activity in the region and received over 67 percent of the authorized amounts, or $46.3 million.In addition, $5.2 million was awarded to hog producers, an eight percent increase over the previous year.The SFA regional office also provided guaranteed loans totaling $7.9 million to part-time operators (mainly beef and maple product producers), $2.7 million to goods and services providers, and $1.3 million to forestry enterprises.Remy Trudel, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and Minister responsible for the Société de financement agricole du Quebec, and Claude Boucher, the MNA for Johnson, both stressed that the investments provided solid support for the growth of the region’s farm enterprises.Trudel pointed out that the growth of the agriculture and agri-food sectors is closely tied to regional development and described the SFA as “a vitally important regional economic development tool and the key to growth and prosperity throughout Quebec’s agriculture industry.” SFA president Marc Dion added that investments undertaken each year in partnership with SFA are a major source of capital and help spur the development of new enterprises throughout Quebec.“The SFA seeks to offer effective support to farm and forestry enterprises by providing them with know-how and financial products designed to meet their specific requirements,” he explained.Magog CLSC administration finds a home at post office |0 answer the need for space, the administrative council of the CLSC-Centre hospitalier et d’he- 2 km

THE: Tuesday, July 4, 2000 page 5 Canada Day in Hatley means * > BRUCE PATTON/CO RRESPONDEN'l Hating popcorn - For visiting Victoria Beak happiness on Canada Day means a bag of-warm, buttery popcorn.BRUCE PATTON/CORRESPONDENT Being in a parade - The new millennium may have arrived, but these local young people enjoyed an old-fashioned ‘hayride’ reminiscent of the way it used to be.Seated, left to right, are Reuben Bird and Camille Brouskella.Standing are Clara Bird, Sarah Baxter, Erica Kohl-Eradley and Meghan Jensen.Differen t things to differen t folks Long before the parade got underway on Saturday morning it was obvious that the picture-perfect weather would result in a ‘bumper-house’ attendance in this picturesque village, long known as a place to be on Canada Day.Being part of the celebration meant different things to different folk.For some, it was a great chance to chat with acquaintances.For others it meant get- ting to watch a parade.Still others ert-joyed decorating a float or even participating in the parade.In the early evening, local musicians took to the stage on the ‘common’.This provided an opportunity for some to ‘swing their partners’ while others settled into their deck chairs to listen to the melodies.Then, when darkness fell, all eyes were drawn skyward as a display of fireworks delivered the day’s finale.BRUCE PATTON/CORRESPONDENT Time for a snooze - Mike and Karen McKenna’s eleven day old son, Adam, who was probably the youngest in attendance, really didn’t see what all the hoopla was.about and decided it was a good chance to get some sleep.BRUCE PATTON/CORRESPONDENT Dancing on the pavement - As familiar waltz tunes emanated from a violin on stage, some folks developed ‘itchy feet’.This was the cure. page 6 Tuesday, July 4, 2000 THE! Community Forum Language commission needs to get on track Language Minister Louise Beaudoin should have taken a few extra minutes to explain the mandate of the Estates General on the French language to its chairman, Gérald Larose.Just moments after being appointed to lead the language commission, Larose was whining about the privileged position of anglos in Quebec compared to francophones in other provinces.He dredged up all the old stereotypes of the well endowed minority, flush with resources and opportunities in a clumsy attempt to situate francophones at the bottom of the barrel - the downtrodden minority that the rest of Canada refuses to recognize.(Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I’m gonna eat some worms.) A poor start to what should, and could, be a very positive exercise.All Quebecers and Canadians will benefit from maintaining a strong and vital French language and culture.Our ability to coexist is what makes us an example to the rest of the world.It’s what distinguishes us from the United States and makes us unique in North America.It’s what challenges us, and makes us occupy a higher ground as a result of learning to compromise, to respect and accommodate each other.Statistics have shown that real progress has been made in the last two decades in the ffancization of the workplace in Quebec.Quebec now boasts the highest number of young bilingual anglophones in Canada, capable of living and* working in French.Take away the zealots who walk around with a measuring tape in their back pockets, and most would concede real progress has been made in projecting the French face of Quebec.But there is still work to be done and it is in everyone’s best interests to find out where the weak spots are and fix them.This won’t be done by bellyaching about anglos in Quebec and pulling out the persecution complex about how misunderstood francophones are by the rest of Canada.Nor is it the time for anglophones to harp about their lot as a minority.That’s not what this is about.We need to know the true state of the French language in Quebec.And where it is fragile, we have to find innovative ways to bolster it.Members of the commission need to shine the spotlight exclusively on the state of the French language and make proposals to secure it using all the resources available.And that includes using English-speaking Quebecers as allies, and not enemies.Sharon McCully The Record welcomes your letters to the editor.Please be sure to sign your letter and include a telephone number where we can reach you.paHis : : 8#ÜÏ P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrookt J1H 5L6 or 1195 Galt E, Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax: 810-569-3945 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Website: wwwsherbrookerecord.com Randy Kinnear Pubusher .(819) 569-9511 Sharon McCully Editor .(819) 569-6345 Sunil Mahtani Corresp.Editor .(819) 569-6345 Richard Lessard Prod.Mgr.(819) 569-9931 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman .(819) 569-9931 Francine Thibault Prod.Superv.(819) 569-4856 DEPARTMENTS Accounting .(819)569-9511 Advertising .(819)569-9525 Circulation.(819)569-9528 Newsroom .(819)5696345 Knowlton office 88 Lakeside.Knowlton, Quebec, JOE 1V0 Tel: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST TOTAL Canada: 1 year 114.40 8.01 9.18 $131.59 6 MONTHS 59.00 4.13 4.73 $67.86 3 MONTHS 30.00 2.10 2.41 S34.51 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 UniMedia Company, a subsidiary of Hollinger Canadian Newspapers L.P.Canadian Publications Mail Service Product Agreement No.0479675.Member ABC, CARD, CNA.QCNA êPqè&HAM.Letters to the Editor Border Fest was a blast Dear Editor The first Stanstead Border Fest is now over.It will be remembered for a long time as a great celebration.The success of the event is undeniable for a number of reasons: quality, efficiency, enthusiasm, generosity of spirit and time.The festival has also been a means of raising funds for various youth projects in town - this through the special involvement of the Intermarché, the Stanstead Softball League, Kids for Kamp, and the Tae-kwon-do team.A total of $4,393 was raised.A big thanks to all of you.Of course, without the large team of volunteers as well as our numerous sponsors, the Border Fest could not have happened.We can never thank these people ( and I mean you ) enough.The group “Unissons nos Forces” has not only managed to bring many people together, but has also united the generations and the different cultures within our community.The efforts of the Festival Committee will continue in this direction.I invite you all either to stay on or to join our group, since, as early as August this summer.Border Fest 2001 will be in the works.So, please feel free to add your ideas to ours, so that next year’s Fest will be even better!!
