Afghanistan veterans honoured * Page 3 75 CENTS + TAXES THE RECO Sheila Quinn: Up all night i Beardie The voice of the Eastern Townships since l PM#0040007682 ç^BL-IOTHT'q'^ i;; ay.May 7, 2014 Director General shuffle sets municipal reform in motion By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke’s city council approved the creation of a new temporary organizational structure for the office of the Director General on Monday night.Based on the recommendations of the Director General, Yves Vermette, the council voted, by a margin of 18 to 2, to replace the existing Deputy Director General of Community Services position with two new posts; the deputy director of Community Relations and the Deputy Director of optimization and public security.The change is expected to save the city roughly $60,000 per year, and comes as part of the initial steps of Mayor Bernard Sévigny’s municipal restructuring plan.“If we look at the budgetary challenges facing us in the years ahead, we must find ways to optimize the efficiency of our organization,” said Vermette, presenting his recommendations to the council.The Director General’s plan presented a focus on seeing how the city can engage more closely with its citizens while also increasing efficiency and doing more with less.Vermette suggested that the community-relations position be filled by Marie-France Delage, who has been serving as director of the city’s sport, culture and community life service.Delage’s primary responsibility will be the implementation of the municipal governance reforms the council approved at the beginning of March.To that end she will be working closely with the boroughs, the communications service, and the sport, culture and community life service.Gaétan Drouin, the former director of Sherbrooke’s fire prevention services will fill the optimization and public security position.His focus will lie in streamlining the processes and tools Cont’d on page 4 Champlain-Lennoxville honours their student-athletes COURTESY Champlain Lennoxville Academic Excellence Award winners with coaches.Sherbrooke Cougar athletes were the focus of the Champlain Lennoxville Athletic Gala on May 1 celebrating the outstanding achievement of student athletes throughout the 2013-2014 year.Members of the 11 Cougar teams, coaches, volunteers, college staff and parents were in attendance at the ceremony which also welcomed guest speaker, Olympian Francois Coulombe-Fortier.Coulombe-Fortier was a member of the Canadian taekwondo team in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012.The Student Athlete of the Year, e-tablished in 2009 to recognize exceptional contribution to a Cougar athletic team in conjunction with academic excellence, was presented to Noemie Cont’d on page 7 BRP spending $55 million to build third manufacturing plant in Mexico The Canadian Press Valcourt BRP Inc., the former recreational products division of Bombardier înc.that makes Ski-Doos and offroad vehicles, says it will invest $55 million to build a third manufacturing plant in Mexico.The new Mexican plant will eventually employ nearly half of the company’s global workforce.Construction of the 46,000-square-metre plant, near its existing facility in Juarez, is slated to begin next year and be completed by the end of 2017.BRP said Tuesday that the new plant will support an expansion of Can-am off-road vehicles and meet future demand.Chief executive Jose Boisjoli said the investment will allow BRP to continue to make inroads in the fast-growing offroad industry.The plant will employ 900 full-time workers.BRP’s main plant in Juarez employs 1,600 while its facility in Queretaro is expected to ramp up from 600 employees to reach 1,000 by September.BRP employs 4,900 workers outside Mexico, including 2,800 in Canada and 2,100 in Austria, the U.S.and Finland.BRP is a global leader in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing of powersports vehicles and propulsion systems.Its portfolio includes Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Sea-Doo watercraft, Can-Am all-terrain vehicles, Can-Am Spyder roadsters, Evinrude and Rotax marine propulsion systems as well as Rotax engines for karts, motorcycles and recreational aircraft.h T M E —" _ RECORD SPECIAL OFFER for Record print subscribers: Receive a full year’s subscription to the online edition for only $5 with every new 12 month print subscription or renewal.Read The Record online any time, any place Subscribers can view each new issue of The Record, as well as Brome County News, The Townships Outlet and our many special sections with just the click of the mouse.To subscribe, go to www.sherbrookerecord.com, click on e-dition and follow the simple instructions.For information or assistance call 819-569-9528 billing@sherbrookerecord.com newsroom@sherbrookerecord .com The Record Page 2 Wednesday, May 7, 2014 r.:i: ."¦"'"Ill in ¦ • v'-' ' V Eastman Sherbrooke •.¦.The Chœur des Gens Heureux, under the direction of Zoé Lapierre, is inviting the public to public spring concerts being held this month in Magog and Eastman.The May concerts will be held at Saint-Patrice Church in Magog on Sunday May 18 at 4 p.m.and at Saint-Edouard Church in Eastman the following Sunday, May 25 at 2 pm.Admission is free, but donations are welcome.For more information on the concerts or the choir, contact Gaston Pouliot by calling (819) 769-4138, or reach-out by email to pouliot.gaston@gmail .com.¦ V | ;

City Council honours Afghanistan veterans Sherbrooke acts on handicap accessibility Gordon Lambie Following the March 17 proclamation of Governor General David Johnston that this coming Friday, May 9 serve as a national Day of Honour for those men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces who served in Afghanistan, the Sherbrooke City roun-cil passed an official motion to that respect at the start of Monday : ght’s meeting.“Last March 31 marked the end of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan,” said Mayor Bernard Sévi-gny, “Since 2001, numerous Canadians participated in that mission, among them more than 100 from Sherbrooke.” The mayor called the mission a trial of great strength and courage in the fight to defend Canada’s national interests against the forces of terrorism.He made particular note of the fact that many Canadians sacrificed their lives in the service of their country over the 12-year period.“ITiis Day of Honour will provide an opportunity to celebrate the strength and determination of our men and women in uniform, their families, and the many communities in which they live,” Sévigny added, before inviting all those present to observe a moment of silence.The council also took the opportunity to note, with gratitude, the contribution of a number of public automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to the city by the 52nd Field Ambulance division, which is based in Sherbrooke.The devices have been installed in a number of community buildings around the city, with the goal of the devices now being available to the general public if needed.The recognition came as a part of a motion updating the general rules of upkeep and oversight regarding the public lifesaving devices.Sherbrooke Sherbrooke City Council accepted Monday the 2013 record of achievements for persons with disabilities.Last year, nearly forty measures were implemented by the City of Sherbrooke to reduce barriers to integration.Municipal infrastructure was reorganized to become more accessible to people with reduced mobility.For example, barrier-free trails were placed in parks, while the entrances of some service buildings were lowered to facilitate accessibility for people with disabilities.Parks that will emerge in Sherbrooke in the coming years will be built with this same concern to provide universal access to equipment.As part of its action plan, the city has also sold two properties to the Han-Logement housing agency.Housing for persons with disabilities will be built on the land, located on the Lavigerie Blvd.Another city property was sold to the CPE Fleurimont, which may well expand its facility on Lavigerie to accommodate children with disabilities.This year, the City of Sherbrooke is consulting several community and health organizations to find out what the integration needs are for people with disabilities in the community.These consultations will develop a three-year action plan which will run from 2015 to 2017.These measures are part of the 2013-2014 action plan for the integration of persons with disabilities.This action plan was adopted by the Sherbrooke Council last year, as required by law to ensure the exercise of the rights of disabled persons for their integration in school, work and the social environment.Sévigny wants old Hydro rate back Sherbrooke The President of the Association of electricity redistributors of Quebec (AREQ), Sherbrooke Mayor Bernard Sevigny has formally requested from the new Quebec government that the ten members of the association be once again classified as subject to Hydro Quebec’s 'L Rate.’ The resolution, supported and approved by the City Council, will shortly be sent to new Premier Philippe Couillard and the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Pierre Arcand.“Our networks are not industrial, commercial, or institutional consumers of electricity, but electricity redistributors primarily within the domestic mar- ket,” Sevigny says.According to the document filed with City Council, AREQ members will have to absorb annual losses of about $12 million, including $2.5 million for the City of Saguenay and $7.8 million for the City of Sherbrooke.“This represents over 30 per cent of our profit,” said Sevigny, who added he wants to compromise.“In order to respect the will of the government to get additional revenue, however, we are willing to consider indexing L rates to increases in the price of heritage energy.” HOPES TO NEVER make1 it TO 75 The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada hopes it will never celebrate its 75th anniversary.Help us end MS.KEEPING r[ DREAMS

thank you to Janet Coates who will be caring for Moon while I am gone.I do not want to put Moon back with Lake to only have to take her away for a week in my absence.I do not know how Lake or Moon will react and without me here to closely judge, I will reserve the reunion.So, I will anticipate the reunion upon my return.I'm hoping that they will indeed remember each other and I hope that by the time they are back together, Moon will no longer feel the need to suckle off Lake, which could cause Lake much pain at this point.Flea season has begun Just a quick reminder that the ground has thawed, meaning our ever despised little jumping itchy creepy crawlies have also thawed and it is time to start your monthly flea prevention.Also remember that stores that sell pet products carry a different variety of flea prevention, but they are only good for prevention and in some cases are not strong enough.If your animal already has fleas, it will demand a trip to the vet to pick up some Advantage, as vets are the only places permitted to sell Advantage by law.An ounce of flea prevention saves weeks of annoying itching and infestation.I will be away for a week so there will be no Pet Page next week.This also means that there will be no interviews or adoptions in my absence.Of course, this does not mean people are not welcome to come in and visit with some of our guys up for adoption, but remember that in my absence all questions re lating to The Pet Connection will be taken down but not responded to until the 17th of May.Thank you.Stickers to be proud of It has been a busy, and expensive, two weeks for us.With our cat who needed an emergency c-section to save her and her five babies; all of whom are doing very well, a kitten found on the road with an abscessed shoulder, our Ungava huskies being fixed and of course the regular every day medicines and necessities for our 26 dogs and 32 cats waiting for a new home, we were really happy to receive our “Rescue Mom” vehicle stickers that we are selling to help us raise funds.The stickers, which come in 12” and 6” are $10 and all profits come to us to help with vet expenses.Coming this week are also our “Rescue Dad” 6” stickers.They are available at Blue Seal-Le Centre Nutrition Animale at 1730 Wellington South and we very much appreciate your support.Blossom is a five year old Mastiff mix.She is very affectionate and good with cats.Bo is a three year old Boston Terrier.He is quite timid until he gets to know you.He is anxious and a home with young children would not be ideal.Easter Bunny rescue On April 29, we got a call about some baby bunnies who fell out of a car at a scrap yard when the vehicle was being moved.With no mother in sight, leaving the infants exposed to the elements would have for sure caused their death.We accepted to take them in.1 readied my kitten milk and syringe, as I knew 1 would need them, but when they arrived so began the scramble to figure things out.I have rescued numerous mammals, from raccoons to skunks and squirrels, but bunnies was a first for me.These guys were much younger than 1 anticipated, but knowing very little about them, I had to do my homework.I learned very quickly that few people, including vets, have that much experience with hand raising such young little things.How old were they?The only indication was that they still had their eyes closed, which means under 10 days old, but still not much of a help since feeding is so crucial in a young rabbits life.Feed too much and they could die, don’t feed them enough and they could die.Which was not easy since what they need to eat at five days old is much different than what they need to eat at nine days old.1 was told and 1 read that baby bunnies should never be fed more than once a day, twice if necessary.That wasn’t going to work, since they were all very dehydrated and would only take in 1.5 mis of milk (force fed) at a time.That’s a big difference from the five they were supposed to take if they were around five days old and way different than the 15 if they were nine.So, I went against all recommendations and started force feeding them four times a day.For six days I played around as best I could with their food intake, ever so afraid of feeding too much or not enough and each day they continued to lose weight, but a few days ago they finally started to open their eyes.This at least told me they were now around 10 days old and that tells me they have to eat at least 15 mis per day.Since I started doing that, and of course continuing to stimulate them to do their business, they finally started to put on a few grams of weight.Eyes opening also told me that they must have been around four days old when they came to me and it also means they were born on Easter weekend.Now our job became ten.times harder since we have Easter Bunnies that need saving.They are now drinking around 17-19 mis each, three times a day and have begun to sniff around and act like real little bunnies.We are far from out of the woods, but we have hope that we can get them through and make it to see next Easter.This page is provided by Blue Seal - The Animal Nutrition Centre and The Pet Connection.5 Mother's BOV' care with «t—û nkee Candle- YANKEE CANDLE America’s Monthly featured fragrances Candles • Tea lights Room spray • Car fresheners Votives ft • Gift sets.and more! 1730 Wellington Street South Sherbrooke • 819-348-1888 blueseal@agrianalyse.com
