Thought of the Day L RECORD Classifieds Sherbrooke: 569-9525 Knowlton: 242-1188 RECORD The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals its.-Horace 60 CENTS Tuesday, October 20, 1998 ¦ V'"* ;ÿ Students turn up heat on Millennium scholarships By Cathy Gibson Sherbrooke Students in Quebec are putting the federal government on notice.Yesterday, the Quebec Federation of University Students (FEUQ), the Federation of Sherbrooke University Students (FEUS) and the Assembly of University of Sherbrooke Masters and Doctorate students (REMDUS) announced plans for a new and stronger campaign to oppose the federal government’s Millennium Scholarship Foundation and challenge Bill C-36.The scholarship foundation was announced in the 1998 federal budget and lays the groundwork for the creation of a $2.5 billion endowment to fund post-secondary scholarships on the basis of need and merit.“Since the announcement of the Millennium Scholarship Foundation, the FEUQ has opposed it from the beginning,” said Pascale Berube, vice-president of FEUQ.“We went before the House of Commons and made presentations, .we went before the Senate - nothing was solved; we opposed the bill.but these processes got us nowhere so now, after having done all of this, we will have to use stronger methods and we will start this winter.What we are doing now is turning up the heat so that our people will be ready.” Bérubé says there should be greater provincial control of the money the government allots to each province for these scholarships, in part as recognition of the difference in the educational system in Quebec and to allow the distribution of the fund solely according to need.“We are the only province that finances its own bursary and loan program, so the creation of a national bursary program does not interest Quebec students,” said Bérubé.The student federations also take issue with the debt load of current students, saying the millennium scholarships do nothing to address this.“The $625 million coming Today’s Weather Complete weather: page 2 Inside Ann Landers.16 Births and Deaths.15 Classified____18-19 Comics.17 Crossword.19 Community Forum .6 Record Album — 5 Sports .14 Theme Page: Xxx.7 CATHY GIBSON Dominic Provost, Pascal Bérubé and Philippe Leblanc says it's time to get vocal against Millennium Scholarship Foundation.to Quebec should be used to reduce the student debtload and be made available to all students not only those who merit it,” says Dominic Provost, interim president of REMDUS.Bérubé adds the way the foundation is currently configured, students who don’t need financial assistance may get the money anyway since academic merit is one of the deciding factors of receipt.Another point of contention for all Canadian students is the passage of Bill C-36, which prevents former students from declaring bankruptcy within ten years of receiving a student loan.“Any citizen can clear their debts by declaring bankruptcy, it is immoral and discriminatory to eliminate that possibility if an ex-student is unable to pay off his student loans,” says Philippe Leblanc, vice-president of external affairs for FEUS.Although many student federations across the country oppose both the Millennium Scholarship Foundation and Bill C-36, Bérubé said the Quebec federations of students have no plans to form a coalition with other organizations in other provinces or with the Canadian Federation of Students, since their final objectives are too disparate.“It is too hard to get the other federations to understand our problems,” says Bérubé.“This is an issue specific to Quebec.You cannot compare oranges and apples.This is just another thing that makes Quebec unique.” TAKING CANDY FROM A STUDENT NANSY JEAN-BAPTISTE/CORRES PONDENT There was no age limit at Bishop's University Community Day.For the full story on this activity packed day, see page 11. page 2 Tuesday, October 20, 1998 Record Protesters are mature adults who can pay for their own lawyers’ Liberals are right not to fund kids legal fees Ah, the irony.The federal Liberals, who have worked hard to deserve public scorn on a host of issues, are taking it on the chin these days for actually doing something right.To wit: they’re accused of being antidemocratic and callous for refusing to pay the legal fees of student protesters at the RCMP Public Complaints Commission inquiry into events at last year's APEC summit.To begin with, the statute setting up the commission inquiries doesn’t allow them to pay legal fees for people lodging complaints against the RCMP.What’s more, why should the public pay?Surely these protesters don’t need a high-priced lawyer holding their hands simply to testify to what they saw or witnessed first-hand during clashes with police at the economic summit in Vancouver last fall.It's not as if these students are being accused of anything.They don’t have to defend themselves.They simply have to tell the commissioners what they saw.But that, of course, isn’t good enough for the protesters and, alas, for the opposition politicians in the Commons.Even the Reform party , which usually doesn’t advocate more public spending on anything, has decided to abandon its’ principles and attack the Liberals for obeying the law as it is writ-ten.And when Solicitor General Andy Scott - the mouth that walks like a man - announced that the government would Claire Hoy SOUTHAM Syndicate Nobody is being paid off to keep the lid on the truth.Granted, the government does pay for lawyers for RCMP officials and its own officials.But that too is warranted.Cameron Ward, a lawyer for 28 of the protesters, recently announced his withdrawal from the inquiry because he couldn't afford to continue providing his service for free.He said he proposed at the outset that no lawyers be allowed to participate in the not pay the legal fees for the protesters, one of those protesters, Johnathan Op-penheim, having complained his civil liberties were trampled by police, told journalists that, “It’s pretty clear the government isn’t interested in getting to the bottom of this matter.“It just shows how corrupt and undemocratic the government is.” Nonsense.It has nothing to do either with corruption or a lack of democracy.Nobody is stopping Oppenheim and the other protesters from testifying at the inquiry.hearings but the RCMP and the government both rejected the idea.“Fairness could be either a hearing conducted without lawyers or lawyers for everyone,” said Ward.That would only be true if all sides had an equal stake in the outcome of the inquiry.But that's not the case and Ward and everybody else involved knows it.Face it, if the accusations of police brutality and bureaucratic meddling are shown to be true at the inquiry, these findings could have serious consequences for the careers of many of those who stand accused.If, on the other hand, the inquiry finds the students were just blowing smoke, nothing is going to happen to the students.They’ll no doubt be disappointed, sure.But their careers or their further studies won’t be affected.Lawyers as a group have done an effective job it seems to me of convincing the public that their services are absolutely necessary for the orderly and democratic running of all public inquiries.I disagree.Sometimes, lawyers simply serve to prolong the search for the truth - all the while with their meters running - rather than expedite the process.The protesters don’t need lawyers.They’re mature adults.They’re presumably well educated and able to string a coherent sentence together to describe to the commissioners what they saw and experienced.If they do want lawyers, let them pay for it.They’re the ones who stormed the barricades and precipitated the donnybrook.There’s simply no reason why the public should pay.None.‘Scott didn’t know diclc’ Solicitor General remains butt of jokes By Jack Aubry Southam News Ottawa Already the butt of endless jokes, Solicitor General Andy Scott faces new barbs over his participation in a conference next week on ‘citizen engagement.’ Scott is of course in hot water because he ‘engaged’ a fellow citizen in conversation on an airplane.He is suffering ridicule on such television comedies as Air Farce and was the main target of jokes at the annual Par- liamentary Press Gallery dinner this past weekend.Even Prime Minister Jean Chretien cracked at the dinner that Scott ‘didn’t know dick,’ making fun of the fact that Scott didn’t recognize NDP MP Dick Proctor on his infamous plane ride.Now every appearance has potential for humour.For example, the conference is entitled A Voice for All - Engaging Canadians for Change.Would that be ‘a voice’ that carries well enough in an airplane for ‘all’ to hear?Is the proposed ‘change’ a cabinet shuffle in the near future?In his speech Scott will share his ‘experience’ in establishing a forum for ‘dialogue on important public policy issues.’ Question is would he now advise against ‘dialogue’ while using public transportation?“Mr.Scott will discuss the role of politicians and how they need to work with public servants to make citizen engagement feasible and successful,’ says the agenda.Does this mean ministers should always travel with their aides?There is some irony in the fact that one of the reasons for the conference is to illustrate how the “faltering trust” in leaders can be rebuilt.Kathy Jones, a spokeswoman at the Willow Group, which is putting on the conference in Aylmer, Que., says the think-tank had no idea Scott would become a household name when they booked him in May.And the name of the room where the conference will take a refreshment break right after Scott’s speech has nothing to do with his current situation in the Liberal government.Today’s Weather -

as well as others that have never performed outside the smoky ambience of comedy clubs.Producing the series this summer has occupied most of Abbott and Ferguson’s downtime from Air Farce, and Ferguson admits he and Abbott will have to pace themselves on the satire show this season.But the response of the up-and-coming sketch comics made the effort worthwhile, Ferguson says.“It’s been a mad race but tremendously enjoyable working with people who, in their wildest Corky and the Juice Pigs.TVDATA dreams, never thought they’d get on television.That was their dream to do it, but the fact that it actually happened - I think they’re still pinching themselves.” The link to our community .— THE —i Record - it’s all about us!

Bishop’s professor to board of directors Women’s shelter reaches out to the anglophone community Citizens want St.Francis Street ‘eyesore’ demolished By Nansy Jean-Baptiste Record Correspondent Lennoxville Lennoxville residents want the town to get rid of an ‘eyesore’ in the St.Francis sector.The building, located at 103 St.Francis St., has been abandoned for many years and is rapidly becoming decrepit.A petition with 103 signatures presented by Gloria Smith of 101 St.Francis St.was presented at the last town hall council meeting on Oct.13.As of last September, the town of Lennoxville became the owner of the building, which was seized because of unpaid back taxes.It takes close to three years of legal processes for the town to officially become the owner of a seized building.The building used to be a convenience store but, because of a change in zoning, cannot house a commercial establishment anymore.Because the building is in such bad shape, it will be more economical for the town to destroy it rather than try to save it.“When I passed door-to-door for the petition, people were asking me ‘Where do I sign?’ as soon as they heard what it was about,” Smith said.In three nights, and without going the whole length of St-Francis or even Beattie Street, 103 names were collected.“It’s not only me.The building is an eyesore, a hazard and a danger for the neighbouring buildings,” Smith said.The proximity of the building to her property poses a fire risk, and the abandoned building brings down property values, Smith said.“I love it here.I have lived on the other side of the bridge and like it better here because it is so quiet, peaceful, clean and beautiful.The other properties are all very clean and neat,” Smith said.‘‘I have to sit here and look at that all the time.When I look out my kitchen windows, it is all I see.” She’s considering moving, but is afraid she’ll money on her house.SEE BUILDING, PAGE 10 By Nansy Jean-Baptiste Record Correspondent One of the few battered women’s shelters in the Eastern Townships is reaching out to the anglophone community.The women’s shelter L’Escale is making a new move to be able to provide more services to the often neglected anglophone minority in the Sherbrooke region.Adding to the isolation of most battered women, the English-speaking population has had very few services available.In order to make up for that lack, L’Escale elected a new member to the board of directors who belongs to the English community.Gilla Family, a psychology professor at Bishop’s University, was elated by the nomination.“L’Escale really goes out of its way to accommodate the anglophone community, they try to hire people who are bilingual,” she said.Family says the shelter is looking into adding another anglophone to its board of directors.“I think that this should be encouraged and that the anglophone community should respond to this by encouraging them.” L’Escale gives women support, infor- mation on the resources available and some knowledge on how the cycle of abuse functions in a relationship, as well as how to break it.Priority is put on the safety and the confidentiality of the women and their children.The address of the shelter is not published.No men are employees of the shelter, although some sit on the board of directors.Their secret nature, however, makes it difficult to advertise, and one of their main concerns is that not enough women in need know that they exist.SEE SHELTER, PAGE 10 page 10 Tuesday, October 20, 1998 Lennoxville LINK ‘Growing Through Art’ Mothers and children creating together By Nansy Jean-Baptiste Record Correspondent Lennoxville The Lennoxville Women’s Centre is presenting two seminars by Rachel Garber on creative expression in mother-child relationships.“Growing Through Art: Mother’s and Children Creating Together” began on Monday and will continue next Monday.“The mothers will make art together with their children.I want to have the children teach the mothers how to paint,” said Garber, an art therapist who has worked with children and adults alike.By taking this approach, she tries to avoid the trap adults fall into when they want to shape what their children are doing.The seminar will allow women to relearn how to be open to experimenting and art the way children are.The mothers thus will re-learn how to play, thanks to their children.The mother-child relationship is a special one and a time of great change.Children quickly become different people because they grow up so fast.Mothers have to be on their toes all the time to notice the changes.Thus, through her seminars and work, Garber aims at making mothers of small children aware of the reasons that compel children to create through art, the stages of development that children go through in developing their creative sides and how to treat children’s creations.“By talking about the different stages, I hope to convey the idea that you cannot force the child to draw like an adult without interrupting their normal pattern of development,” Garber said.Garber also wants to pass along tricks for parents to encourage their children’s creativity.For example, when shopping for toys, parents should look away from complex, shiny and colorful objects which don’t allow them to create something for themselves.She mentions the standard play-do that used to provide children with hours of fun and which now comes equipped with molds for perfect results.“Children are robbed of the pleasure of making something themselves and the learning that takes place when they do,” Garber said.In the seminars, great emphasis is placed on never putting down anything children bring to their parents.“I think that a lot of people forget how close the person is to that object they made.It is their own personal expression,” Garber said.“Children learn quickly that what they do cannot match the mass-produced objects they can buy.” In her seminars, she gives children the opportunity to use their own hands to create something so that they do not look outside of themselves for the joy that creating provides.“Children are going to be much happier adults if they do not let others rob them of their creative side,” Garber said.Garber, who moved to Lennoxville recently, is looking into building a private practice.For more information, call 889-2520.The town will work hard to sell the lot - MacAulay Building: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 After Smith complained to the town the first time because teenagers gathered there to smoke and hang out the building was boarded.Youths still gather there sometimes to smoke on the steps.The town has offered to allow Smith and the owner of the adjoining proper- ty on the other side of 103 St.Francis St.to purchase the building and property from the town for $7,000, which is the property’s land evaluation.Demolition is included in that price.She will receive a letter on Tuesday and the town will await her and the other party’s decision to make the next move.Smith’s mind is already made up.“The price they are asking is simply outrageous.I was not born yesterday.” Lennoxville mayor Doug MacAulay said the town is waiting for the answer of one or both the neighbours of the building.“They can even make us a counterproposal to it, or they might say no.” The offer to the neighbours is part of a legal process the town has to follow, MacAulay said.The first offer has to go to the neighbours, and if both say no, the lot will go up for sale publicly.If it’s sold, it will be the new owner’s responsibility to tear down the present building because an existing bylaw forces new owners to build something on the newly purchased lot within a year of the transaction.“The town is always trying to sell lots because people pay taxes on them.So, it is in the best interest of the town to sell the lot,” MacAulay added.The town will work hard to sell the lot, he said, but no demolition will occur until it’s sold.Shelter has served women from 18 to 82 years old Shelter: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 The main motto of the shelter is never to pressure the women to leave the relationships they are in, but they are encouraged to make their own decisions.Some women come back more than once.In its 22 years of operation, the shelter has welcomed women from all nationalities, ranging in age from 18 to 82 years old.Women are always welcomed with their children.The youngest child ever received at L’Escale was a three-day-old infant, whose mother went to the shelter directly from the hospital.Family says this situation happens often, since the time away at hospital to give birth often gives women the time to realize what is happening in their abusive relationships.The minimal cost for residing at the shelter is $8 a day for the woman, and $1 a day for each child over the age of six, up to a maximum of 10 dollars.Women who can’t afford the cost are not turned away.L’Escale can house up to 15 women at a time and its occupation rate rarely goes below 60 per cent.It often has to accommodate more than the government prescribed 15 because of a policy never to turn anyone away.The shelter also provides interviews by appointment, for when the woman feels she does not need or want to leave.It costs $5 dollars per interview with a trained professional, but no one is excluded if they can’t afford it.There is also a telephone service.Another division of L’Escale” is Maison Montigny.Women who have gone through the short crisis stay at the shelter but do not feel ready to fly on their own can stay in one of the nine supervised apartments in a complex.There are specialized workers located on the site.“Many of these women flee their homes and do not think about bringing money or often the husband only gives them enough pocket money to get by on a week,” Family said.The shelter also accepts donations of hygiene products such as towels, toothpaste, and toothbrushes that the women and their children go through rapidly.Toys for the children are in demand, as long as they don’t encourage violent play.Videos, especially in English, are also appreciated.A fund-raising luncheon was held at La Loge des Elans restaurant in Sherbrooke last Friday.It’s the fourth year the restaurant has held the fund-raiser, and traditionally a cheque for around $300 is presented to the women’s shelter.About 125 people attended on Friday.For more information, please call 569-3611.Do all of your friends, relatives and neighbors subscribe to The Record?Convince someone you know to take a new

Bishop’s regularly donates to local groups.The students council, for example, has donated to Lennoxville Elementary.There are also clubs in the university which give to the community, such as Big Buddies, which matches university students with local children in need.NANSY JEAN-BAPTISTE Children enjoy painting outdoors.parents with their grandchildren,” King “What matters is that we get to wel-said.come the community, no matter what Getting ready for the egg-and-spoon race.NANSY JEAN-BAPTISTE Getting a gander at some unusual stuff.NANSY JEAN-BAPTISTE page 12 Tuesday, October 20, 1998 Lennoxville LINK Don’t be afraid to express your true feelings Assertiveness workshop at Women’s Centre Someone close to you has put you down?You’re feeling humiliated?There’s another way to respond instead of fighting or fleeing, Nansy Jean-Baptiste suggested in a recent workshop at the Lennoxville & District Women’s Centre.“It’s to be assertive.” She pointed out that girls have often been taught to be passive, to avoid confrontations while boys are taught to be aggressive.“But aggressiveness is not the same as assertiveness,” Jean-Baptiste said.“Being assertive can mean showing one’s emotions, maybe even crying in public.And that is something that is disapproved of for men, in our culture.” Still, Jean-Baptiste said that assertiveness is an approach that is very important for women in particular to learn.“Passivity is painful - more painful, sometimes, for the person living it than for those around her.” Jean-Baptiste said that learning about assertiveness has made a difference in her own life, as well as for those around her.“It’s a question of attitude, of working on yourself.I prioritize things more, now, and I say ‘no’ without feeling guilty.I go for something I want -1 stick my neck out more,” she said.Sticking her neck out this fall has included volunteering at the Women's Centre, writing for The Record, and being president of the psychology club at Bishop’s University, where she is a senior honor’s student in applied psychology- “One of the things I am really proud of is setting up the ‘Psych Buds’ program," she said.“Psych Buds matches every first-year psychology student with an upper-year student who acts as a mentor, lending a sympathetic ear, giving information and encouragement.Assertiveness, as Jean-Baptiste described it, “is being able to set your own limits, being sincere and being what you truly are without bending to others’ expectations of what you should be.It’s about taking control of your own life, feeling that you can handle what’s thrown at you in life, you can assert yourself.” An assertive person would be someone who has an “internal locus of control,” she said.“You feel that you are the one who’s controlling your life or your destiny.” This is in contrast with people with an external locus of control, who might believe their destiny is controlled by bad luck or outside life events - they might see themselves as passively receiving the blows of life.Or, Jean-Baptist noted, aggressive persons might blame others for provoking them.“When you think about it, hitting is often an attempt to gain back control,” that the person feels he or she does not have, she said.In her workshop, Jean-Baptiste offered women several ideas to help develop an assertive attitude.Body language conveys a lot, she said.Make good eye contact, hold your head high, place your feet firmly on the ground, and when you speak, gesture freely, turn down the pitch and raise the volume a bit.You will not only seem more confident to others, you will also begin to feel that way.Second, say no.Do not force yourself to act compassionate if you do not feel that way.Be sincere.“Doris Doormat burns herself out,” Jean-Baptiste said.“If you don’t take care of yourself first, you can’t really take care of others.” Another problem area is criticism.“You have to analyze the criticism,” she explained, “You might say, ‘You know, I wasn’t expecting this.I’ll think about it and get back to you.’” Then go and figure out if the criticism was unrealistic, if it was a put-down, or if it was valid.Unrealistic?Just ignore it.A put-down?Recognize that only your idea or your behavior is being attacked, not the core “you.” “If you are comfortable with what you are, then no one can put you down.” And if the criticism was valid, then realize that it is a constructive expression of concern, and you can learn from it.“No one is perfect,” said Jean-Baptiste.“Make fun of your own weak points - share them openly with others.Then you become comfortable with them and, also, it takes the power away from others to hurt you.” Other strategies include relaxing -you can’t be stressed out and be assertive.And avoiding those three little words “I’m sorry but.” They “give people power over you,” Jean-Baptiste commented.And finally, using that one little Lennoxville & District Women’s Centre •f > word, “I.” Using the first person singular means “owning up to your own feelings,” she said.For example, saying ‘I feel guilty when you sigh” is not a criticism of the person who sighs.Rather, it clearly and directly gives others infor- mation about your feelings - information that they cannot argue with.Rachel Garber Public Relations Officer for the Women’s Centre Hokus Pick back in Lenn A Christian modern rock-ska band in Lennoxville?Yes, indeed.Thanks to Youth For Christ, Hokus Pick will be playing in town on Friday.This is the second year in a row the British Columbia band has made a stop here.The concert last year attracted more than 200 people and organizers hope to get 300 this time.“We had a very positive experience last year," said organizer Terry Lapointe.“They are loved by both Christians and non-Christians alike." Hokus Pick is among a handful of bands that will play in such a small town.“For them, it is their mission to come to smaller towns," said Lapointe.“It is a really neat show with lightning and special effects.It is up-to-date with what the kids are used to," Lapointe added.“They present their message in a relevant way that kids can understand and can enjoy ot the same time." The band consists of Russ Smith on vocals and guitar, Matt Pierrot on guitar, Rick Colhoun on drums and Dave Strilchuck on bass.The show begins at 7:30 p.m.at Lennoxville Elementary School on Friday, Oct.23.Tickets cost $10.For information or to purchase tickets, call 566-1532.is possi Even with a loss of autonomy, ~^~S0HS0~(X^ (9 élective $ 300,000 The 1998 campaign for the Sherbr Geriatric University Institute Foundat Please be generous, this is the only long-term care fundraising campaign in Sherbrooke Receipts for income tax purpose issuedfor I wish to give $ - donations of $20 and over (or on request) Name Address Postal code Cash Q Cheque Q| Visa no.: City Telephone Exp.Name Signature trie University Institute Foundation 'Strut,.Sherbrooke, Quebec J1J3HS Tel.: (819) 829.U38 — n— THE».Record Tuesday, October 20, 1998 page 13 Next time Stanstead College: Nov.24 Our School's Page STANSTEAD COLLEGE Stanstead welcomes students new and old Off to an energetic start Tomorrow: Granby’s Parkview Elementary School ÏMi.W'-*S 3 Photography, sports and alumni events were just a few of the extra-curricular activities offered.Beautiful Stanstead College.Stanstead College got the year off to a characteristically eventful start.New students were launched into the school year with a fun-filled orientation day organized by teacher Erik Van Dyke.Led by returning Grade 12 students, prefects and faculty, the new arrivals familiarized themselves with the College through team games, multi-legged races, win, lose or draw and other group activities.A good time was had by all.New student Phil Davis of Maryland remarked “The orientation was a great opportunity for new students and teachers to interact and get to know one another.” The day’s activities greatly helped to ease worries and integrate newcomers to life at Stanstead College.Watching the Alouettes New students were not the only ones who had fun on the opening weekend.Following a dance in the recently expanded recreation hall and a cookout the night before, students new and old traveled to McGill University to watch an Alouettes football game.Whether the day was spent enthusiastically leading cheers and doing the wave or simply sitting in the sun socializing, it was a perfect occasion for everyone to spend time together.Farewells and welcomes for staff After bidding fond farewells to staff members Marc Ayotte and Roger Marino this past summer, Stanstead welcomed Ms.Simard and Mr.Christian Wells.Both teachers have taken on the challenging positions of assistant house directors in the boys’ residences.We were all delighted when the population on campus increased this September when Christian Wells and his wife Sonia welcomed the arrival of their first child, Sarah.Alumni Day Only a few weeks after welcoming new students, the students and faculty greeted yet another batch of students -former ones! A melange of graduates returned to Stanstead on Oct.4 for Alumni Day.Some alumni graduated this past June while others were from classes decades past.They came to visit old friends and teachers, to see their school and of course, to participate in and watch the games.The Alumni football and soccer games, for which teams were formed by mixing current Stanstead athletes with those of the past, were, as always, a big hit.Scuba diving club Many Stanstead students are involved in extra-curricular activities.For the second year in a row, Leila Atkin and Richard Thouin are leading a scuba diving club where students have the opportunity to become certified divers.Then they will head off to Lake Memphrema-gog to explore its underwater world.Those who have done so found it very exciting and simply can’t wait for their next dive! Soccer in the Maritimes On Thursday, Oct.15, the senior boys and girls soccer teams set off for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to participate in the four day Canadian Association of Independent Schools Tournaments.Stanstead players have been training hard and headed out brimming with enthusiasm.Running for a good cause Our Cross-Country Running team.coached by Ann Giles and Inger McNamara, has organized a one hour Run-A-Thon to raise money for Alexandre Tardif of Magog.Three year old Alexandre has been battling cerebral palsy since birth and is in need of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.This is not yet available in Canada so Alexandre’s parents hope to raise $15,000 - $20,000 for treatment in England where therapy is less expensive than in the US.Runners are collecting sponsorships in two ways: a fixed donation or pledges per lap completed.So, on Nov.1, Stanstead’s runners will push themselves to the limit to help a little boy to live a healthier life.The focus of Stanstead’s opening month was to help students settle in and become a true part of the school.Taking into account all of the special activities and the fact that we all spent so much time together, it’s difficult not to consider that mission accomplished.As the first marking period comes to a close, we turn to the next, which promises to be just as interesting, and busy as the first.Stanstead News submitted to The

playoff spots PERRY BEATON/CORRESPONDENT Scene from an early-season game against McGill.Bishop's beat the Redmen last weekend, the first time the Gaiter’s have won against McGill in Montreal in three years.i m f Jpg: By Mike Hickey Record Correspondent The Bishop’s Gaiters soccer team clinched a coveted playoff spot Sunday when it edged the UQTR Patriotes 2-1 in Lennoxville.Sunday’s victory, coupled with UQTR’s loss to Concordia, assures the Gaiters of their first-ever playoff spot.Bishop’s, presently tied for third place in the Quebec University circuit with UQAM, finishes the regular season this weekend with a pair of games against Laval and Sherbrooke.Rachel Butler’s goal at the 86th minute broke a 1-1 tie and virtually assured a playoff spot for the Gaiters.Rookie Alison Scott of Sherbrooke gave Bishop’s a 1-0 lead at the 61st minute.However the Patriotes were able to capitalize on a Gaiter turnover as Annie Charted lofted a shot over the head of Gaiter goalie Alison MacDougall to tie the game with just twelve minutes remaining to play.The Gaiters turned up the pressure and Butler was able to convert Nathalie Sterk’s rebound past the sprawling UQTR goal-tender.Men’s and women’s rugby The Bishop’s men’s and women’s rugby teams clinched playoff spots with victories this past weekend.The women’s side crushed the Carleton Ravens 39-5 in Ottawa Sunday to finish the regular season with a 3-2 record.Cecily Clemmons led the Gaiters with three tries while Stephanie Kruzich, Tara Moreau, Lindy Yeates and Sarah Bazuk added one each.Georgeville native Mia Kakebeeke and Megan Forest controlled the play for the Gaiters at the forward position.The Gaiters resume action Sunday, Nov.1 when they play the semi-final round of playoffs against a yet to be determined opponent.The men’s team knocked off McGill 20-12, avenging an earlier 32-30 loss at the hands of the Redmen.The Gaiters held McGill to just four penalty kicks, but trailed 12-10 with 10 minutes remaining in the game when Geoff Haugh’s penalty kick gave Bishop’s a lead they would not relinquish.Phil Slater and Neal Partington scored tries for the locals.The victory assures the Gaiters of a playoff spot and they could still finish first with a little help from their friends.Bishop’s will come in first if they beat Sherbrooke on Sunday and Concordia defeats McGill.R-ballers are back in form The defending National Champion Bishop’s Gaiters men’s basketball team opened its exhibition schedule the same way they ended last year’s dream season.The Gaiters crushed the Laval Rouge et Or 97-70 in the nitecap of a doubleheader held at CEGEP Edouard Montpetit in Longueuil.The Gaiters were in mid-season form as they shot 69 per cent from the floor and had 11 different players scoring.They jumped out to an early 10-point lead and increased the lead to 18 by half-time.Sherbrooke’s Patrice Lemieux led all scorers with 23 points while Rob Bums added 19 and Joel Sherbino chipped in with 13.Melissa Lemay’s lay-up with four seconds remaining in the game lifted the Bishop’s women’s team to a 67-65 win over the Laval Rouge et Or in their exhibition opener.Trailing 6564 with time running out rookie Amelie Fournier of Sherbrooke drove to the basket and dished to Lemay for a lay-up and one-point lead.Julie Rodrique then stole the ensuing in-bounds pass and completed the scoring with a foul shot Jill Hachey lead all scorers with 15 points while Rodrigue, Fournier’s teammate at Sacre-Coeur and CEGEP de Sherbrooke, chipped in with 13 points.Lemay, returning to play in Longeuil for the first time as a Gaiter had nine points and five rebounds.The women return to action in two weeks when they travel to Thunder Bay to participate in the Saxon Super Eight Tournament.Cougars women’s soccer The Champlain Cougars women’s soccer team saved their best for last, but fell short in its playoff game against the Victo-riaville Vulldns Saturday.Champlain, who finished fourth in the CEGEP circuit dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker to the first-place Vulkins in the opening round of the league playoffs.Victoriaville scored the game’s only goal early in the first half and then held off a furious charge from the Cougars.Champlain hit three crossbars but were unable to net the tying goal.Although the game marked the end of the season for the Cougars two players will be trading their cleats for running shoes.Ascot’s Kristine Mayrand and Krista Balenko will now be joining the Cougar basketball team on a full-time basis.Cecily Clemmons and Geoff Haugh Rugby stars

harvest suppers.The month got off to an early start with a pickle sale.For a number of years, now, Frances Cunningham and her husband have organized a pickle sale and donated the proceeds to the Terry Fox Foundation.This year, Freida Coote, Janet Banfill, Kathy Frank and Lynne Fortier chipped in to help them, resulting in a large display of delicious home-made pickles.Staff and residents speedily chose their favorite varieties.By the end of the day the pickles were all sold and a healthy sum of money had been amassed for Terry Fox.On the 25th, Kelly held a Terry Fox exercise session.A can was

October 20, 1998 RECORD Everyone makes choices in life Dear Ann Landers: After reading your response to "Sad in Connecticut," I feel compelled to voice an opinion from another camp."Sad" told you how his mother put up with her husband's longterm affair, believing it was worth it.After both his parents died, "Sad" found a photo of a lovely young woman in his father's bottom desk drawer.He figured it was the girlfriend and said, "I wonder what kind of life she had with him.It couldn't have been great." You agreed.Having had a relationship with a married man for 19 years, I am offended by that assumption.Ann, everyone makes choices in life, and we all have to live with the results of those choices.For 19 years, I have had a remarkable love affair with a prominent member of the community.I entered into this affair with my eyes wide open.There have been some difficult times, but we both worked hard to stay together.We had joint therapy sessions.We entertain together and travel to interesting places.He is like a son to my mother and a confidant to my sister.Unless his wife has had a lobotomy, I am certain she is aware of our relationship.Apparently, she enjoys her lifestyle, doesn't want to risk losing it and has chosen to remain silent.They do not fight or argue, but their mar- riage is without passion.My beloved is a fine father to a wonderful teenage boy.While I do not recommend this lifestyle for everyone, please don't assume all women like me are miserable and unfulfilled.I may not be the beneficiary of his life insurance policy, but we share a deep, spiritual and profound love that is life enhancing for us both.- Paired Perfectly in the Palisades Dear Perfectly Paired: Apparently, you two have managed (so far) to have your cake and eat it, too.The arrangement seems to be fine with you, your married friend and his wife, but what kind of message is this sending to his teenage son?I hope he has an uncle who can serve as a role model.Dear Ann Landers: I live in Taiwan and read your column in the China Post.It's a wonderful example of how our cultures differ.How do American husbands get away with having girlfriends on the side?Here, of course, it is managed by the wealthy, but working-class men could never get away with it.- Mrs.77?Dear Mrs.77?: Philandering is not geographic, nor is it strictly for the rich.It's hormonal the world over, and working-class people do it, too.Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers: I'm writing about the letter in your column from "Lonely and Old in Vancouver." She was a middle-aged woman who had never married.There are 4 million women in the United States who are over 40 and unmarried.They will live longer, happier and more productive lives because they don't have the stress of children, husbands and in-laws.Being alone, they will take better care of themselves because they will have the time, energy and money to do so.They will be more successful in their careers than their married female co-workers because of these advantages.They will also have more free time to travel and pursue other interests.A mother spends the first 20 years of her son's life trying to teach him to be independent and how to take care of himself.As soon as he gets married, he forgets everything he learned and becomes dependent all over again.Tell "Lonely and Old" that a dog will give unconditional love and not expect anything in return.And once the dog is housebroken, she won't have to mop around the base of the commode every time he relieves himself.- Facing Reality in Kentucky Dear Kentucky: Sounds like somebody broke your heart.Too bad.I assure you that millions of women whose husbands have died would be happy to mop around the commode again.Sutton Mable Boyce 538-2946 Ronnie and Joan O’Brien of Arnprior, Ont., spent a long weekend visiting Alice Bidwell.While here they went to see Carlotta Perkins in Sherbrooke.Steven and Dee Cowan of Port Hardy, B.C.are spending a two week holiday with Dennis and Shirley Cowan.Friends and neighbors were shocked by the sudden death of Joan Cane.She will be greatly missed by all.David Foster, Melanie and baby Courtney were recent callers at the Boyce home.CROSSWORD ''A- 15 18 20 ACROSS 22 Felicity 39 Considerate 5 Harvest Sleep outdoors 24 Sweet after you 40 Uninvited party- goddess Like Nash's eat goers 6 Night in lama 26 Edgar Allan 43 Indian princes Nuremburg Regions and others 45 Farm layer 7 S.Amer, nation Cain's brother 27 Caps ending?46 Actress 8 Streetlight S.American 28 Gear teeth McClurg support rodent 29 Jackie's second 47 Magnon 9 Superlatively Classic violin husband 48 Cherrystone, silly Departed 32 “Tosca” and e.g.10 Portents Pond coating “Carmen” 49 Lecherous 11 Church part At no time 35 Arcane 53 Laughter and 12 Tours summers Icelandic sagas 37 Part in a play gaiety 13 Knights' titles 38 Mrs.Nixon 57 Exxon rival 21 Actress Ward Monday's Puzzle Solved B E L L 2- A L I E N.L I L A c M E T R 0 H H E L M A L O E L I s T L A T H O N O (Q1998 Tribune Media Services, Inc.All rights reserved.M A T E E M I R T B A R H E R O E U R A L N S P E C K S Is L A N T A R E A s H L E Y L E S O M E E L M E R JL O N T O s W I S S 10/20/98 58 Type of committee 59 Personal perception 61 Dead Sea kingdom 62 Tuscany city 63 __mater 64 Goose on Oahu 65 Writer Madame de___ 66 More limited in quantity 67 Horn honk DOWN 1 Behind bars 2 Dwelling 3 Makes repairs 4 Delights of “Sisters" 23 Walt Kelly's comic strip 25 Occupant: abbr.28 Stop 29 Opera solo 30 Wealthy 31 Cools down 32 Theater sec.33 Skin opening 34 Enthusiastic vigor 36 Delight 38 Ancient 41 Like DNA strands 42 Mild cheese 43k‘Broadcast letters of old 44 Gulf of the Ionian Sea 48 Old hag 49 Flower holders 50 Roundup finale 51 Image: pref.52 Celestial body with a tail 53 Bulk 1 2 3 4 14 17 20 24 54 Prune text 55 Ostrichlike bird 56 River of Sudan 60 Used to be TMSPuzzles@aol.com 127 122 32 33 34 37 40 45 116 119 126 41 ¦ 46 148 53 58 62 65 54 55 42 23 10 11 12 13 36 139 159 163 166 56 30 31 161 164 167 50 By John Feneck Point Pleasant Beach, NJ 51 52 10/20/98 r ¦ THE ¦ RECORD Tuesday, October 20, 1998 page 17 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present Each letter in the cipher stands for another Today's due: C equals D ‘ K N Z LNXYUZDYXBC XVTXFJ JHDIBIZJ KNZ WXVXLZ DZIAVHKBAG.JAYZAGZ NXJ ' KA YXPZ KNZ UZCJ.’ — MXF TZVCAG, UDBKBJN GAIZVBJK.PREVIOUS SOLUTION: “Once a guy starts wearing silk pajamas, it’s hard to get up early.” — (Jockey) Eddie Arcaro (c) 1998byNEA, Inc.20 KIT ’N’ CARLYLE ® by Larry Wright HERMAN® by Jim Unger © Jbn Unger/dlst by United Media.1998 10-20 Did you feel the earthquake?ALLEY OOP ® by Dave Grauc and Jack Bender who T were \ swampers, i there are ARE YOU l SWAMPERS.' ) EH?ANY 4 OTHERS?FELLAHS —x v 7 RELATION TO \ AND THEY •?.< \\ /th' bunch south wear hat DID YOU HEAR THAT BCYS?THERE'S ANOTHER CLAN OF _ 6WAMPERS WHO WEAR.x _ V .HAW'.BIRDS ON THEIR HEJVDS.' )H^0 UH HUH.'

last two weeks.Many friends gathered at the memorial service which was held at the St.James Anglican Church and was conducted by the Rev.Arnold Godsoe of Dunham.There was a nice reception afterwards in the hall, to say good-bye to Velma.Fall cavalcade Compton On Oct.3,1998, members and friends of the Compton County Historical and Museum Society enjoyed a day’s outing in the form of their annual Cavalcade.Although the weather was cool and crisp, participants were dressed accordingly, and the sun came out much to everyone's pleasure.The first cemetery on the tour was the Eaton Cemetery between Eaton Corner and Birch ton.We were joined by the president of the Cemetery Association, Roland Lowry, who gave an informative report on the history and layout of this burying ground.From here, we back tracked a little to the Jorday Hill Road, which we followed through Bulwer, taking in the gorgeous scenery and remembering where the former Bulwer railway station, the Bulwer Post Office and the Bulwer country store once a vital part of this community stood.We proceeded along Hodgman Road to Route 108, and on to the Sand Hill Cemetery, where we were met by Gary Dun-smore, who gave a brief history.He pointed out the gates that once led to St.Luke’s Anglican Church, when it stood high on the hill on the opposite side of the road, before being moved to the site beside the Guild Hall, where it was deconsecrated and demolished a few years ago.It was moved from the top of the hill at the time the highway was constructed in the late 1960’s.At noon, we ate our lunch at Johnville Hall, and then on to the Johnville Cemetery, where we were met by Morris and Roberta Smith.A brief history of the cemetery and the two protestant churches were read.It told of the Anglican Church, which is now part of the dépanneur on the corner in the center of town where Route 251 turns towards Mart-inville.The building was sold in 1942.The Methodist Church was sold in 1919, enlarged, and became the present Roman Catholic Church.The next visit was the Martinville Cemetery.Here we were met by Lloyd Martin and Bruce Patton who told us several interesting stories.Bruce and his wife, Shirley Patton also came to the Moe’s River cemetery and explained about its layout, telling a brief history of the Free Will Baptist Church that once sat on this site.They also told of other churches that were once in the area and of the upcoming centennial anniversary of the present Moe’s River Church.They told how this cemetery is reserved for former and present residents of Moe’s River.From Moe’s River, we went to Compton, St.James Cemetery.Here we were given its history by Russell Nichols and Lloyd Hyatt.Matthew Cochrane, a former Conservative Senator was buried here in 1903.From Compton, we went to the Ives Hill Community Center, where we were treated to refreshments and took in their antique show.We then visited the Ives Hill Cemetery, with its history by Mrs.Cairns.It’s a beautiful little cemetery surrounded by maple trees and breathtaking scenery.We visited the tiny Tyler Cemetery with commentary by Isabel Echenburg, and from here we wended our way home. page 20 Tuesday, October 20,

You outplayed at least three internationals.A British woman ruffed her losing diamond at trick five, prematurely using one of her vital dummy entries if spades had been 4-2.A British man went one down and a Portuguese man finished two down, but their lines of play have been quietly swept under the carpet.“Each one reach one, spread The Record Tradition" Having The Record in your home is a tradition.You depend upon The Record as your source of Townships news.Thus, you’re the perfect person to convince your friends and relatives who only occasionally read this newspaper to get a subscription and start their own tradition.At the same time, you and the new subscriber will earn chances* to win one of six cash prizes: $300(1) $75(1) $150(1) $25(3) Address: Tel.No.: Please sign up this New Subscriber!** Name: (#, street) (town, postal code) (daytime) Length of subscription: _ Payment by: ___cheque (evening) 3 months - $31.06 = 1 chance each 6 months - $61.54 = 3 chances each 9 months - $92.32 = 5 chances each 12 months - $119.63 = 7 chances each money order Visa Mastercard “The Record Traditionn Contest Entry Form Your name: Address: Tel.No.: (#, street) (town, postal code) (daytime) (evening) Please forward to: The Record Tradition Contest, 2850 Delorme, Sherbrooke, QC J1K1A1 Deadline to participate: October 30,1998 Winners will be selected at The Record’s Sherbrooke office at 2 p.m., November 3, 1998 at random from entries received.All subscriptions must be prepaid.* Please complete a form for each entry you earn.You may complete copies of this form from The Record or make your own.The number of entries will be verified upon receipt.**For the purposes of this contest, a new Record subscriber is defined as someone who has not subscribed during the past 6 months.Record employees and their immediate families may not participate in this contest.Winners will be notified by telephone and required to answer a skill-testing mathematical question (101-28+88=________________).Any litigation respecting the conduct and awarding of a prize in this contest should be directed to the Régie des alcools, courses et jeux.
