in fact they pale compared to other more provocative images of prison life we’ve learned to accept as representing the marginal if not the darker side of prison life.I can’t help but wonder what the impact would be if snapshots were published of high-profile inmates in the process of brewing their own alcohol, consuming and trafficking drugs, both within and beyond prison walls, or assaulting other inmates.Why aren’t politicians working up a sweat about the hundreds of escaped federal convicts and parole violators who, each year, wander within our midst after having absconded from minimum-security institutions without fences or walls?They include murderers and other high-risk convicts, yet in many instances law enforcement officials have suspended their efforts to track them down for lack of personnel.Perhaps we have all lost our objectivity because of how much we despise Karla Homolka.Pictures ignore prison objectives One problem with the Gazette pictures is that they don’t shed much light on the vocation of the Joliette Institution for Women which happens to be classified as a minimum- to medium-security prison and is also one of five regional facilities built to replace the Prison for Women in Kingston .First a little penal background.I don’t deny the fact that prison life in Canada must be geared to both protect law-abiding citizens as well as to punish those who are sent there by our courts.But even penal experts agree that punishment alone merely brutalizes and embitters, and as a result, conditions a convict to return to crime.Henry R.Keyserlingk This explains why governments on both levels have long since recognized the importance of implementing major rehabilitation programs and of humanizing their prison institutions .The approach taken by the Joliette Institution for women is similar to other prisons in North America.It’s comprised of 10 cottages on prison grounds that house up to 10 inmates each.There are no bars on the windows and each inmate has a key to her room.The inmates are allowed to cook their food and wear their own clothes.With this in mind, can it be that scandalous if a duly-classified inmate at the Joliette Institution wishes to put on a slinky cocktail dress to celebrate a birthday ?If the real issue has to do with a faulty classification system or misguided prison objectives then why aren’t our politicians demanding a parliamentary committee hearing ?No evidence of special treatment Another problem with the Gazette pictures and covering title is that many readers got the impression that Karla Homolka received special treatment despite her heinous crimes.Yet, from the little we know, there is no evidence that her classification history is anything unusual.She is one of only 349 women currently incarcerated in federal institutions across Canada,while the remainder are on conditional release under supervision in the community.From the day a convict lands in prison, he or she is subject to a continuing classification process.While some convicts begin their sentences in maximum-security institutions for having committed heinous crimes, it is not usual for many of them to be transferred at a later date to medium-and then minimum-security “correction institutions”, depending on their behavior and security evaluations.Some end up serving their sentences in training schools, hospitals, prison farms and even unguarded camps.In 1993, Karla Homolka began serving her 12-year manslaughter sentence in Kingston’s Prison for Women, a maximum-security prison.Initially she spent much of her time in her cell mainly because of threats from other prisoners.In 1997 she was reclassified and transferred to the Joliette Institution for Women.Would she have been transferred to Joliette had she not received the proper classification?Except for security considerations it would make little sense for prison officials to even think of granting Homolka special treatment.She has been an embarrassment to the Ontario Government because of her much-maligned 12-year plea bargain sentence and, insofar as the public is concerned, she is one of the most despised convicts in Canada.If anything, there is a real danger that prison officials would want to give her a hard time .Judge may smell a political rat By next July she will have served two-thirds of her sentence and therefore becomes eligible for release.You can bet that the correctional service will feel the heat to do everything possible to keep her detained.Her attorney has threatened to block her transfer back to a maximum-security institution.He will have a compelling argument if he can prove that his client’s transfer was solely grounded on political considerations.If so, he will want to produce the disgusting pictures.They could be worth more then a 1,000 briefs.Don’t get me wrong - if it were up to me, Karla Homolka would spend the rest of her life in solitary confinement.But then, I would first have to change a few laws.Weather Today: Cloudy with 70 per cent probability of showers.High near 14.Thursday: Increasing cloudiness followed by rain.Low near 1.High near 13.Probability of precipitation 90 per cent.Friday: Rainy.Low near 6.High near 12.Probability of precipitation 90 per cent.Ben by Daniel Shelton RAINY PAYS ALWAYS gR!

Masse says he’s now considering skip- ping the twice-monthly MRC meetings.He says he’d like to get some of the other mayors to join the boycott and paralyze the MRC.“Why should I bother going?Before we start discussing anything at the MRC we have to ask Granby what it thinks first,” he said.“If Granby says no, then there’s no point in discussing anything.” “We’ve got to cripple the MRC for awhile to get the minister’s attention,” Masse went on.“There are 22 MRCs with the same situation and she (municipal affairs minister Louise Harel) doesn’t seem to notice.” In Brome-Missisquoi a similar situation is brewing.There, the mayor’s council has asked for an extension on the Sept.30 deadline to work things out.“Then at the last meeting one of the mayors, I won’t say which one, deposited his report,” said Brome Lake mayor Stanley Neil.“The rest of the mayors were pretty annoyed with that.” Neil said that since that time most of the 20 municipalities in Brome-Missisquoi have prepared a list of the infrastructures used by residents of more than one municipality, but without the financial figures attached.“At least four or five municipalities believe they are going to have to go head to head with one municipality,” Neil said.“My interpretation is this is just another way of justifying an operation that is inefficient.” Neil said an MRC committee has been set up to look at the issue, and he’s expecting some movement in the next week or two.Meanwhile in Haute-Yamaska, Masse says he will have to see if Waterloo boycotting the MRC will have an effect.He noted that budget time is coming, and the municipalities will need to know what their contribution to Haute-Yamaska will be before they set up their financial plans for the coming year.“I have nothing against the power of Granby, it should have more power than I do,” he said.“But it should not have the power to block what nine other mayors want.” Plan could see small municipal police forces scrapped By Maurice Crossfield The Quebec Association of Police Chiefs is favoring a plan that could see a radical redrawing of the way policing is handled in Quebec, wiping out a number of local municipal forces in the process.Under the terms of the plan, policing in Quebec would be divided into three levels: One police force would cover the Montreal region, while areas with populations in excess of 75,000 would also have their own police forces.In rural areas the Quebec Police Force would take over, with one detachment per regional municipality (MRC).For example, in Brome-Missisquoi the Cowansville and Brome Lake police departments would be dissolved, with the QPF taking over the whole territory.In Haute-Yamaska the ADPQ_ is suggesting the Granby, Granby Township and Bromont Police all be merged, creating a single force to cover the 10 municipalities of the MRC.“None of us at the table are very impressed with that,” said Brome Lake mayor Stanley Neil at the monthly council meeting Monday night.“In Brome Lake we have round-the-clock service seven days a week.If you ask the municipalities that are covered by the SQJSûreté du Québec), they’ll tell you you’d be lucky to see a police car once every two days.” But the municipalities haven’t reacted to the news yet because while public security minister Serge Menard is said to favor the plan, nothing has been made official.“If you see where the SQ is covering now they’re paying substantially more than us and getting half the coverage,” Neil said.“That will not change.” In nearby Waterloo the municipality scrapped its police force a couple of years ago in favor of the QPF.Since then the municipality has complained several times that the service doesn’t meet the town’s needs.“The 99 per cent of the time they are in town they patrol the main street,” said Waterloo mayor Paul Masse.“And when they give a ticket the money goes to the Quebec government.” An issue for Brome Lake is also that the QPF is under no obligation to provide any services in English.Bilingualism has long been a requirement for Brome Lake cops, who serve a population that is nearly 50 per cent anglophone.“The citizens should be made aware of this,” Neil said.“We’re going to end up paying twice as much and have little to say on how the service is given.” Brome Lake Council Briefs In news from Monday night’s Brome Lake council meeting, held at Dagenais hall in Foster: • One wall of the hall was adorned with pictures taken by Lloyd Sturtevant.The pictures showed ducks swimming in sludge, sewage flowing into a river, and boats surrounded by dirty water.Atop the collection of photos was the caption “Domaine Des Erables.” The photos were the latest in the war between Sturtevant and the campground.“I’m going to get in touch with the people responsible for that hall and tell them we don’t get into this kind of thing at all,” said mayor Stanley Neil.“It’s something that should not be in any one of the municipality’s buildings.” •In response to a letter in last week’s Brome County News that called all of the council, with the exception of Robin Moore and Don Wing, a rubber stamp for mayor Neil, Moore presented a prototype rubber stamp, which he used several times during the evening.• A resident of Victoria Street expressed concern over speeding cars and trucks on her street, particularly between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.That’s the same time children are arriving for school at Knowlton Academy.“These are small children and we’re supposed to be looking out for them,” she said.“This is speeding in a school zone.” •A resolution was passed in support of local doctors.General practitioners in the region are considered close to Montreal, and are therefore subjected to a 30 per cent pay cut.That system was introduced several years ago to encourage young M.D.s to move to more rural areas.“In reality this is a rural area and the doctors do not have access to the universities or the high tech equipment in Montreal,” said councillor Paula Richardson.As a result the area has a hard time getting and keeping doctors.CAREER MLT or MED TECH.FULL or PART TIME North Country Hospital is an acute care facility located in the

Keeping in Touch is a weekly column presented by Townshippers’Association.ayors object to attributions in MP Price’s pamphlets 7 would not have approved the statement’ - Mayor Gauley By Shawn Berry Sherbrooke Compton-Stanstead MP David Price says accusations that several local mayors were misquoted in a pamphlet prepared by his office, is being blown out of proportion by a liberal organizer who is unhappy that Price is now part of the liberal party.“This is really a tempest in a teapot,” Price said yesterday, adding that when he switched parties, he spoke to Liberal organizer Stéphane Doré, “He’s feeling quite put out with the party.He’s mad at the party,” Price said.Doré disagreed.“I don’t feel excluded.I’m not mad at David.It’s just that some of the stuff he stands for, 1 can’t accept” Doré is one of two local mayors who have expressed disappointment with Price’s pamphlet Doré said he never uttered or even approved the statements attributed to him which found their way into the pamphlet “He spent the last three years opposing the Liberal Party, now he’s switched over.” Price, said Doré, “doesn’t care about the voters.all he wants is to keep his seat I can’t endorse such a course of action." East Angus’ mayor, Stephen Gauley, knew statements were going to be attributed to him, but he never had a chance to see them before they were printed.“I was contacted to see if I would mind having some comments and my picture placed in a pamphlet concerning Mr.Price’s change of parties.I said yes, as long as I could see the statement first.This wasn’t done,” explained Gauley.Price says that due to a 22-day delay at the House of Commons printing plant, the pamphlet, which was prepared while he was still in the Conservative Party, was not printed until he had switched to the Liberals.It is common practice to have someone else write politicians’ speeches and texts, but most of the time the politicians get a chance to approve, disapprove or edit the comments being attributed to them.Gauley admits he encouraged Price to change parties.What he objected to was reading in print that he would definitely be voting for Price in the next election.“They put an article in that said my vote would be for David.My vote is a private matter." “I would not have approved the statement,” Gauley said.“I’m inclined to vote for the individual rather than the party.” Price says his political attaché spoke to everyone involved and had them approve the statements being made.Doré, he said, had his read to him over the phone.“That’s false," Doré said.“They called me while Price was still a Conservative and asked me if I would mind having my picture used in a pamphlet, I said, ’we’ll see’.” He claims he wasn’t even aware that any text would be used.Gauley, who has been mayor of East Angus for the last five years, said he has often been asked to lend support to federal and provincial candidates, but rarely does.But he felt compelled to make a statement for Price because he has known him both as the mayor of Lennoxville and the MP for Compton-Stanstead and believed they understood each other. Wednesday, October 4, 2000 page 5 i ¦¦ THE —i Record Crowd represented mosaic Trudeau was proud of \ '.'C i 9»ÊÊzz ¦¦ SOUTHAM NEWS Thousands of Montrealers and Canadians from all walks of life gathered to mourn Pierre Elliott Trudeau.CONTINUED from page 1 Trudeau’s sons Justin and Sacha, his ex-wife Margaret and sister Suzette Rouleau looked drawn and weary after days of public and private mourning.His nine-year-old daughter Sarah, who made a rare public appearance, seemed confiised and overwhelmed by the proceedings.Prime Minister Jean Chretien, who was elected to government with Trudeau in 1965 and who worked closely with him in his battle to repatriate the Canadian Constitution, also looked haggard.Chrétien, who along with Trudeau’s son Sacha read one of the readings during the mass, commented to reporters outside that Trudeau “will be remembered as the first and greatest prime ministers of the new Canada." A who’s who of Canadian politicians and dignitaries were also among the 2,700 who attended the funeral service in Montreal’s splendid Notre Dame Basilica.They included former Prime Ministers Brian Mulroney, Joe Clark and John Turner, Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson and Quebec Lieutenant-Governor Lise Thibault, current and former federal cabinet ministers and senators, all ten premiers including Parti Québécois leader Lucien Bouchard, and politicians from every political stripe including a large number of separatist foes who have expressed mixed feelings about Trudeau and his political legacy.Thousands of Montrealers and Canadians from all walks of life also gathered to mourn the former prime minister.They lined the street, two-dozen deep in some places, as the funeral procession slowly made its way down Notre Dame from the Old City Hall where he lay in state to Notre Dame Basilica where the the largest state funeral in Canadian history was held.The crowd represented the Canadian mosaic that Trudeau was so proud of: members of the French and English founding nations enhanced by a mix of cultural minorities - a vision that longtime friend and law partner Roy Heenan recalled in his eulogy.Heenan said Trudeau defended that vision both rationally and passionately, both at home and abroad.“And what is that vision that is shared by so many?” Heenan asked.“First, of people living together in harmony in a single state and that brother not be turned against brother.Second, that we aspire to a just society, one that offers equality of opportunity, a vision of understanding and of charity towards others, particularly the less fortunate.That the two cultures of Canada flourish and be nurtured across this great land.And that other cultures enrich us.That bilingualism is an asset and not a liability.And of course, that the fundamental rights and freedoms be ensured and enshrined for all Canadians.“That vision has changed forever the sense of ourselves as a society,” Heenan said.“Whether as friend or political goes, he profoundly marked us all, forcing us to think, to question ourselves and debate ideas rather than feelings,” added longtime friend and ex-Liberal Senator Jacques Hébert.“Because of Trudeau, we have all become better human beings and Canada is now a more generous and caring country.” There were few dry eyes as his eldest son Justin eulogized his dad before melting into tears as he kissed his dad’s flag-covered coffin.Justin recalled a father who doted on his children, but did not spoil them and he spoke of the lessons he learned from his dad - particularly a respect for individuals, even those with whom you disagree.“Never attack the individual,” his father told him after he made a juvenile joke about one of his father’s political foe.“We can be in total disagreement with someone without denigrating them as a consequence.” Then the elder Trudeau introduced his son to the adversary, who addressed them in a cordial and friendly manner.“It was at that point that I understood that having opinions that are different from those of another does not preclude one being deserving of respect as an individual,” said Trudeau.“This simple tolerance and recognition of the real and profound dimensions of each human being, regardless of beliefs, origins, or values - that’s what he expected of his children and that’s what he expected of our country.” Justin said his father’s fundamental belief did not come from a textbook.“It stemmed from his deep love for and faith in all Canadians and over the past few days, with every card, every rose, every tear, every wave and every pirouette, you returned his love.It means the world to Sacha and me.” As he finished his emotional eulogy, the teary crowd inside and outside burst into thunderous applause.The family was applauded as the coffin emerged from the basilica and red roses and rose petals were tossed before the hearse as the family cortege left for a private burial at an undisclosed location.SOUTHAM NEWS The coffin emerged from the basilica and red roses and rose petals were tossed before the hearse as the family cortege left

October 4, 2000 RECORD Community Forum Canada grew up thanks to Trudeau “When is Canada going to grow up?” That’s how a friend of British origin, since well settled in Stratford, Ontario, put it to me 30 years ago in Toronto.After a question or two, it was clear that he was questioning how much longer it was going to take Canada to become a full- ______ fledged country, free of the VIEWPOINT apron strings tying it to London.I couldn’t answer him _______ then, but now I know the answer Don Healy should have been 12 years.Yes, that’s how long we waited - until 1982 - for our country to take charge of its own affairs by taking possession of its constitution, its law of all laws.Since 1982, Canada has been free to make, break and amend any and all of its rules - to redesign itself, literally - as it sees fit.Even the constitution itself can now be amended right here, with no need to beg London’s blessing.Maîtres chez nous, as we Quebecers like to say.Some historians may shudder at this suggestion, but as I see it, that was when Canada grew up.Until 1982, Canada was a colony of Great Britain, even though at least a third of its citizens had not a drop of British blood in their veins and a great many were ten or more generations descended from their British ancestors.It was time.Canada’s time had come to assume adult status.And the chief architect of Canada’s grand plan for its early years of maturity was already in place, whether my Stratford friend realized it or not.Pierre Elliott Trudeau had been Prime Minister for two years in 1970 and his drafting pencil was sharp.He recognized that a solid majority of Canadians, whether they grew up speaking English, French or otherwise, were ready to trust themselves with their country.Trudeau knew that “A British subject I was born and a British subject I will die” may have suited Sir John A.just fine, but it didn’t suit him, nor did it suit most of us a hundred years after confederation.He knew the vast majority of - this country’s people were ready to be recognized, and to recognize themselves, as Canadians.He was right.Repatriating the constitution was the right thing to do and Mr.Trudeau pulled it off against formidable odds.Like it or not, Pierre Trudeau, more than anyone else, has to be seen as the father of the modern, self-governing Canada we know.Now the time has come to pay our last respects.Mark Twain is supposed to have said that when a man dies, one can go over the reports and never recognize him, he is so improved.Maybe so, but no prime minister leaves this world without all Canadians worthy of their citizenship having the decency to lower their flags in respect and saving any grudges for another time.For the most part, this has happened on the occasion of Mr.Trudeau’s passing, but there is one exception that cannot go unnoticed.That, of course, is the Quebec government’s “debate” over whether to act with decorum or behave like oafs.Some elected people, obviously, are pitifully lacking in the social graces appropriate to their positions, not to mention hopelessly indecisive.P.O.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 5L6 or 1195 Galt E, SherbrookeJIG 1Y7 Fax: 819-569-3945

doligha ngho m e cot n Letter to the editor St.Georges Anglican Church Cemetery Restoration Fund appeal for help Dear Friends, It has been probably dose to a hundred years since a fund-raiser took place for StGeorges Anglican Church/Cemetery in the parish of St.Remi, Quebec.We believe it is important to first know and understand the history of StGeorges Anglican Church.We have tried to make it as brief as possible.April 21, 1842: Thomas Vickerman, farmer of StRemi, granted the right to Rev.Lord Bishop of Montreal DOQ a piece or parcel of land #104 in the parish of StRemi, Quebec.The Church was then built, and since its beginnings was mered with StMatthews in Edwardstown (which is now in StChrysostome).September 25,1861 : consecration of land as burial ground according to the rites and ceremonies of the Anglican Church of England & Ireland.E.G.Sutton (Missionary).1894-1895: According to the Synod Journals, it seems that St.Georges Anglican Church in the parish of St.Remi stopped its activities.St Georges Church has been gone for a long time, and many of the gravestones were stolen over the years, according to local residents.Expropriation of most of the land took place from 1975 to 1979, ac- cording to the expropriation papers.A monument was later erected through the efforts of many people, including the members of St.Matthew’s Church.This was accomplished in memory of the parishioners whose mortal remains are buried near SL Georges.Malcolm Orr cleaned up the site and cut the grass in 1998 and 1999, and shared the grasscutting duties with another dedicated volunteer, Peter Allmond, in the year 2000.The following projects are planned for this summer and fell, depending on how many donations are received: • Continuation of research work compiling as many names as possible of people who were buried in St Remi.• Surveying of land to know exactly which small portion of land is still owned by the Anglican Church.• If the present monument is in the wrong place, then we might put it in the correct location.•Inscribe the names and dates of all persons known to have been buried in the cemetery.•Install a fence, etc.A committee has been formed and a new name was chosen, in order to get this project off the ground.The name is the St Georges Anglican Church Cemetery Restoration Fund, St.Remi.In order to make this challenge a success, please take a minute of your time to support the cemetery restoration fund today by making a donation.M.Orr St.Georges Anglican Church Cemetery Restoration Fund Wednesday, October 4, 2000 page 7 11 " .1 ¦ i i ¦¦¦ ¦ THE» RECORD Richmond rededicates its war memorials On Sunday, Oct.1, some 250 veterans, soldiers, cadets and residents rededicated the World War I, Word War II and Korean war memorials at Remembrance Park.According to Richmond Legion branch 1 president Gary Pollock, the parade through the main street of Richmond included members of the Korean Veterans Association, of the different Townships Legion branches and the Fusiliers de Sherbrooke military band.Also included is a new bronze plaque to thank the 90 individuals and organizations whose cash contributions and service made the moving of the monument WWH from the Legion to the park possible.The money also helped mount two new flagpoles behind the memorials.“Some people used to deface the World War I monument, so now with the other one in place, we have a fence around it,” said Pollock.“That is now sacred ground protected by a town bylaw.It is the least we can do for those who did not return.” Fellow legionnaire John Hill said the community contributions made him proud to be a veteran.“I can’t believe we got so much help from the community,” he said.“I never felt so good as I did in that march.I am so grateful.” Pollock said the community raised over $13,500 for the monuments, when all that was needed was $6,000.He said the surplus funds will be used to set up a non-profit organizationto provide perpetual maintenance for the memorial.RICK FOSS/CORRESPONDENT Some 250 veterans, soldiers, cadets and residents rededicated the World War I, Word War II and Korean war memorials at Remembrance Park in Richmond.Cleveland gives notice it will close roads soon By Stephen McDougall Special to The Record Despite the protests of several residents, Cleveland town council announced Monday night it intends to close 15 named roads and an untold number of unnamed roads.The announcement came in the form of a notice of motion introduced by the council.Mayor Gerald Badger said the next step is a bylaw that will officially close the roads.He did not say when that bylaw would be passed.“It could be passed at the next council meeting one month from now, or it could be passed later, we don’t know,” he said.The proposed closures were the subject of a heavily attended public meeting in August.Residents argued many of the roads are still needed to get to their homes and farms and to keep slower-moving farm vehicles off the main highways.Badger and other councillors have argued the township can no longer afford these roads because of increased maintenance costs and government regulations requiring each road to be surveyed again to update provincial records and maps.Badger has argued such surveys can cost up to $1,000 per kilometre of road.By eliminating these roads, he said, the township can save money and avoid future tax increases.The township has assured residents along these roads that access to their homes and farms is protected by registering their right-of-way with the council.But because the roads will now be put up for sale, the cost of maintaining them will fall on those who use them.In a related issue, the council also approved the sale of three municipal snowplows used to clear Cleveland roads in winter.Badger argued that with fewer roads to clear, there is less need for these vehicles.He added the vehicles are aging, and could soon be considered unroadworthy by the provincial transport department Town secretary Pierre Dussault said the youngest of the four-wheel drive plows is 11-yearsold, the oldest 22-yearsold.Badger could not say how much the vehicles are worth.“We are putting them up for sale, and will consider all bids,” he said after the council meeting.“We have already signed up George Cod- dington to do our snow clearing this winter.That’s cheaper than buying new trucks which could set us back between $400,000 and $500,000 this year.” He argued that buying new trucks that are only used during the winter is too costly for the township.The council has also introduced a notice of motion banning heavy trucks from roads that directly connect Cleveland Township to St-Felix-de-Kingsey.Badger said the proposed law was being introduced to match a similar one brought in by St-Felix.“The trucks can use the roads if they are doing work locally,” he said.“Other-wise, they should stay on the main highways.” At the Elkas F uneral Home, every gesture is of ëreat significance.After the loss of a loved one, professional and dedicated support can be immensely reassuring.You will find such compassion at the Elkas Funeral Home.Available 24 hours a day, Steve

airs tonight Tonight’s 34th edition of the Country Music Association Awards will once again bring some unforgettable moments.Almost every year something special happens, sometimes funny, sometimes sad or very emotional.For a long time I have been keeping notes of the most precious instances that make the CMAs such an interesting show to watch year after year.During the first live telecast in 1969, Johnny Cash took away five CMAs, including Entertainer of the Year.Nobody imagined it would take 24 years before Vince Gill finally matched Cash’s mark in 1993.In 1974, the then King of Country Music, Roy Acuff misread Olivia Newton-John’s name when he was announcing the Female Vocalist of the Year, calling her Oliver, much to everyone’s amusement.Another moment of unintentional comedy came with Ronnie Milsap when he accepted his 1977 Entertainer of the Year Award and said “I had my speech all written down in Braille back-stage, but Roy Clark stepped on it.” In 1983, fans were treated to a double dose of delightful duets with Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton singing their No.1 hit “Islands In The Stream,” a performance which swept the audience away.The same night, Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias brought the house down with the very popular “To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before.” There have also been some very poignant moments, such as in 1986 when the normally collected George Strait fought back tears as he dedicated his Male Vocalist trophy to his daughter Jennifer who had been killed in a car accident.In 1989, when Keith Whitley won the award for Single of the Year with “I’m No Stranger To The Rain,” Lorrie Morgan had to accept the award for the late Whitley.Morgan cried and said, “Five months to this day, I lost the greatest husband in the world.Country music in my eyes, lost the world’s greatest singer.” In 1992, Garth Brooks practically collapsed in Johnny Cash’s arms when he won Entertainer of the Year.Another touching moment came when a choked-up Vince Gill accepted the 1996 Song of the Year award, “Go Rest High On That Mountain,” for his brother Bob who passed away in 1993.Also memorable was the evening in 1993 when Reba McEntire and Linda Davis performed their hit “Does He Love You,” to a standing ovation, led by actress Liza Minelli.In 1999, Alan Jackson brought a bit of confusion when he stopped singing right in the middle of “Pop a Top,” to shift gears and break into the current George Jones hit “Choices.” The CMA had refused to allow Jackson’s friend Jones to sing “Choices” in its entirety, so Jackson stepped in.When it comes to controversy nothing has yet surpassed the year 1975 when The Silver Fox, Charlie Rich took a lighter and burned the envelope bearing the name of the Entertainer of the Year, who turned out to be John Denver.This was a bold but honest way to protest against “outsiders” like Denver, a pop singer by trade, jumping on the country bandwagon.The “Country Roads” singer, John Denver, who was in Australia at the time, never got caught in the crossfire as he extended his thank you via satellite.Some members of the CMA saw this gesture as true embarrassment on a show televised nationwide.We have seen artists from other musical genres join country artist for special performances such as Amy Grant and Ricky Skaggs singing “Walking In Jerusalem”, Lionel Richie joining Alabama on a rendition of “Deep River Woman,” or R&B star Anita Pointer teaming up with Earl Thomas Conley for “Too Many Times”.In 1992, Trisha Yearwood and the Eagles’ Don Henley joined talent on Yearwood’s hit “Walkaway Joe” while Toby Keith and rock star Sting created a momentum when they performed “I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying.” They had never performed the single on stage until the 1997 CMA broadcast.We should expect the unexpected during tonight’s ceremony.It will be fun to see who will contribute an anecdote to the continuing saga of country music.The induction of Charley Pride and Faron Young into the new state-of-the-art, $37-million Hall of Fame facility should bring some unforgettable moments as well.Faron Young committed suicide in 1996.Pride and Young will be the first artists inducted in the new facility scheduled to open next May in downtown Nashville.Don’t forget to tune in to CFLX-FM 95.5 for two hours of country music and the latest country music news every Thursday night, between 6 and 8

Ghislain Delage does the honours this Sunday - it’s now time for Normand Gosselin to concentrate on his general manager duties and Canale to deliver his game instructions first hand.Canale’s suspension ends this Sunday and he’ll be back behind the bench Tuesday, October 10 when the Castors play in Shawinigan.“In 20 years of coaching I have never been away this long from the bench,” Canale said yesterday in an interview.“It is time to get back and I am anxious to get my coaching partner (assistant coach Daniel Vincellette) as well.” One of the stars in Sherbrooke’s successful trip to the east was rookie goalie Louis-Philippe Lemay.Lemay, a surprise addition to the roster when training camp broke, has been nothing less than sensation in the first month of the season.He’s fashioned a 3-1 record and leads the league in goals-against-average with a sparkling 1.37 ranking.While Lemay has played exception- ally well Canale remains confident that Drew MacIntyre will make a major contribution to the club’s success.“The plan is to have MacIntyre develop into our number-one goaltender," Canale said.“Now whether that’s this year after Christmas or next year we don’t know.First he has to take the next step in the development process.We have to remember that he is only 17 years old.” The only area where the Castors have really dominated has been in puck possession.Sherbrooke has out-shot the opposition in all eight league games to date. ii THE» RECORD Wednesday, October 4, 2000 page 11 Obituary MARGARET‘PEGGY* (nee GEORGE) FEARON Margaret ‘Peggy’ (nee George) Fearon passed away at the Maison Aube-Lumière after a courageous battle with cancer, in her 57th year, on September 15, 2000.She was born at the Sherbrooke Hospital on November 28, 1943, and she lived in Windsor Mills until her father came home from overseas in 1946.She attended Lawrence School in Sherbrooke from grade 1-6 and Sherbrooke High from grade 7-11.After that, she worked in the Textile Industry for 39 years.On July 18, 1964 she was married to Stanley Edward Fearon.They were married for 36 years.She and Stanley moved to a farm in Island Brook in 1967, a place she enjoyed very much and was looking forward to taking early retirement to spend full time on the farm.She was predeceased by her father John Lloyd George (1968) and her mother Ruth Wilsey George (1988).She is survived by her husband Stanley Fearon, her brothers Bobby, Gordie, Walter, sister Kathleen, aunt Edna Lun-nie and Clarence Kendall, brothers-in-law Bobby and Jimmy Fearon and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.The funeral service was held at Cass Funeral Home in Lennoxville on September 18 at 2 p.m.The bearers were Robert Fearon, Arlie Fearon, Malcolm Burns, Irvin Brazel, Tim Garfat and Douglas Walker.Interment was in Eaton Cemetery.Lunch was served at A.N.A.F.by the Women’s Auxiliary following the service.“I have always loved you Peg and I always will and you will always be in my thoughts.Rest in Peace sweetheart (Rest in Peace) -

Distraught in Gettysburg, Pa.Dear Distraught: I would like to help you, dear, but you don’t give me much to go on.Where is your husband spending his time?Is he a drinker and tavern-hopper?Is he “out with the boys,” trying to avoid the responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood?Could there be another woman (or perhaps several women) in his life?Do you satisfy his sexual appetite?Have those three young children made you “too tired’7 I strongly suggest that you talk to a counselor about this.You are clearly in need of guidance — and the sooner the better.Dear Ann landers: Please tell your readers the proper way to accept a gift.I recently gave a present to a friend who went on and on about how I shouldn’t have spent so much money, and said the gift was too fancy for her lifestyle.Such responses take the pleasure out of gift-giving.Why can’t people be gracious and just say, “Thankyou.” —Joyless in New York Dear N.Y.: For many people, it is easier to give than to receive.Gracious acceptance is an art.A warm, heartfelt thank you is in itself a gift.If only more folks knew it.Dear Ann Landers: My husband and I have been married for 11 years, and we have four children.My father-in-law lives less than 20 miles away, and has been given many invitations to spend time with us and our children.He almost always declines.The only occasions where he sees his grandchildren are at Christmastime and during his company’s annual family picnic.He rarely extends an invitation for us to visit his home.That would be sad enough, but there is more.My father-in-law recently joined Big Brothers & Big Sisters of America, which is a wonderful organization to mentor young men and women.Dad was paired up with a sweet 9-year-old boy, and he takes him everywhere.Two weeks ago, they came to our house to spend the night, and Dad told all of us how much fun he was having, doing so many interesting things with this lad.My children were listening, and they were crushed.After Dad left, they asked why Grandpa didn’t do any of those interesting things with them.Ann Landers My husband and I were silent because we didn’t know how to respond.Do you have any suggestions?- Hurting in the Midwest Dear Midwest: This is a question best answered by Grandpa.I suggest that you ask him.Let him know his grandchildren would LOVE to spend some time with him and that he could enrich their lives (and his own) immensely by sharing some of his past experiences.Without being critical or condemnatory, you can improve the situation a lot.Please give it a try.Dear Ann Landers: I am writing this letter at midnight, and my husband is still not home.Our three beautiful daughters are sleeping, and they did not get to see their father today.My husband and I married very young, and all 12 years of our marriage have been a struggle.I have told him how unhappy I am, but he doesn’t seem to care.He refuses to spend any time with his family.I feel like a single mom, and as my daughters get older, I am afraid I won’t be able to handle the responsibility of raising them alone.I am tired of living like this, and cannot confide in Wednesday, October 4, 2000 page 13 ¦ THE mm Record CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Ceiebnty Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people past and present.Each letter in the cipher stands for another Today's clue: 2 equals M ‘LYH ZCVL OHSKLWIKM LYWTR WT LYH BCGMJ W V , Cl DCKGVH, LYH BCGMJ VVLVHMI.’ -

At the bridge table, try any ploy to mislead an opponent.See if you can spot a clever ruse on this deal.You reach four spades.West leads the heart two: four, ace, five.Back comes the heart three.How would you continue?North’s two-heart response is a transfer bid, promising at least five spades.South’s jump rebid shows four-card support and a maximum, usually with a doubleton somewhere.You have lost a heart and have two diamond losers staring you in the face.It looks natural to try the spade finesse at trick three.If it wins, you cruise home with an overtrick.And if it loses, well, maybe East will maintain his aversion to diamonds.However, you can give East a gentle nudge in the wrong direction.Why not cash the heart queen at trick three, discarding a club from the dummy?Then take the spade finesse.Here, it loses, but East will probably fall for your chicanery and switch to a club.This allows you to claim 10 tricks from four spades, two hearts and four clubs.Of course, against certain suspicious opponents, you should discard a diamond from the dummy at trick three.This is why we don’t have child prodigies in bridge — they are too young to understand the psychological elements of the game.Sept.19 saw six members and one man of All Saints Church met to set tables and ready the hall for the soup and dessert luncheon on the 21st.At 10 a.m.we took a break and drove to
