Townshippers get to speak on Bill 10 Page 3 75 CENTS + TAXES College Street sidewalk expansion delayed to 2015 By Gordon Lambie Lennoxviue The sidewalk widening planned to take place along College Street in mid-October has been delayed until the spring, according to Lennoxville borough president David Price.When completed, the expansion will double the width of the walkway east along the thoroughfare’s north side from the intersection with Queen Street.“We just have to get it on the priority list,” Price said, explaining that the dela> comes from the fact that the City of Sherbrooke is behind on its sidewalk work schedule.Though obviously not in keeping with the original plan, the borough president shared a hope that the added time will mean that the expansion will be able to go further down the road.“It was only going to go as far as Conley,” Price said.“Hopefully we’ll get it into the new budget and take things as far as the crosswalk in the spring.” When first explaining the project in late August, Price said that the expansion comes as a part of the ongoing Lennoxville Beautification Project.The eventual goal is to widen the sidewalk on both sides of College all the way from the centre of the borough to Bishop's University.As with all Lennoxville infrastructure projects, however, budgeting for the work is a challenge.In the initial interview Price estimated that one section of sidewalk would be finished every two years.While the city has already acquired the necessary land and permissions for the expansion from Queen Street to Conley, Price said that adding the section from Conley to the Little Forks crosswalk would require some extra work to be done.THE RECORD The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 PM#0040007682 Wednesday, October 22, 2014 U de S med students reaching out to aboriginal community ., k-1 GORDON LAMBIE Med students from the U de S gather inside their shaputuan as part of a week-long awareness event at the Sherbrooke campus.By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke The University of Sherbrooke’s medical students’ association, AGÉÉ-MUS, is hosting a weeklong aboriginal awareness event on the school’s main campus in the hopes of demystifying aboriginal culture in Quebec.“We realized that there is a big gap between what we know about aboriginal cultures, as Quebecers, and what we think about them,” said medical student and main organizer of the event Laura Pinsonneault-Craig at the launch of the week’s activities.Standing in the shaputuan, a long tent built of canvas and pine boughs by visiting members of the Innu nation from Quebec’s Lower North Shore, the student organizer explained that the week’s events serve the double purpose of informing the public and improving relations between the average Québécois and the aboriginal neighbors he may not even know he has.Over the course of the week, guest speakers from all kinds of backgrounds will offer conferences on matters relating to life in Aboriginal and Inuit communities today.Pinsonneault-Craig said that most of the official activities have been organized during the evening rather than over the course of the day, but added that the visiting Innu are always present in or around the tent, and are more than happy to speak with those who take the time to engage them.One of those visitors, Evelyne St.Onge, led the week’s opening ceremony.Students and faculty members who were present were given a medicine pouch into which was placed cedar, sage, tobacco, and a river rock from one of the Magog or St.Francis rivers.These components, the participants were informed, are all sacred medicines to people of the Innu culture, and would serve as a ward against misfortune.Cont’d on Page 8 ¦i—.THE ¦ -

has enormous power/1 Bill 10: Liberals say yes to Townshippers after all By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke Townshippers' Association President Gerald Cutting says that, after having previously been informed that they would not be able to participate in the consultation process on Bill 10, the organization has been given a spot in the hearings this Thursday at noon.“We’ve been given an hour, to be shared with The Voice of English Speaking Quebec,” Cutting said.“We have to be delighted and deeply grateful about this opportunity.” The Townshippers’ Association was one of many Anglophone community groups in the province to voice serious concerns after it was revealed in early October that the Quebec Community Groups Network would be the only Anglophone group invited to speak at the consultation.Given a general feeling from the English-speaking community that the pro- posed healthcare reforms stand to significantly reduce representation of Anglophones at the administrative level of the healthcare system, the fact that only one English group was being offered the chance to speak prompted a fear that the English community was being shut out.Health Minister Gaétan Barrette indicated, when visiting Sherbrooke last week, that English representation would be certain in the communities where it is relevant — even if it isn’t written into the law.Despite that spoken assurance and the promise that the minister would also consider written testimony on the subject, Cutting said that the Townshippers nonetheless petitioned local MNAs for an opportunity to speak at the hearings themselves.On Thursday the Townshippers and The Voice of English Speaking Quebec will each be given 10 minutes in which to make a presentation, after which the remaining 40 minutes will serve as a shared question period between the two groups.Despite the fact that the sharing means a shorter overall presentation time, Cutting was clearly pleased with the opportunity.Asked what angle the association is planning to pursue before the assembly, the president said that their focus would be on two points.First, Cutting said, it is unclear in the bill how the access plans that currently guarantee service to Anglophones will be affected by the combination of administrations across regions.Second, he continued, the Townshippers will argue for the need of a guarantee in law that there will be an English representative on the CISSS boards.On top of that, he said that that member should come from a nomination within the local English community, and not as a top-down name from the minister.He argued that when English populations are scattered across large rural regions their concentrations do not necessarily make up the numbers needed to make a strong case in the eye of the ministry but that they exist all the same and need proper representation.“In this bill the Minister has enormous power," Cutting said, repeating his past warning that a change in minister under Bill 10 runs the risk of leaving Anglophones out of the loop.“We do not want to be caught at the whim of ministerial changes.” The Townshippers’ president said that the association is not challenging the position of the bill on health care services offered to Anglophones but rather voicing concerns over the organization of health care services on the larger level.He said that the group is thankful for the opportunity to speak directly to the issue and attributed the change directly to interventions by Pierre Paradis, Guy Hardy, and Pierre Reid as well as the advocacy work of the QCGN.Business ‘incubator’ project gets muted approval by city council Record Staff Sherbrooke Sherbrooke city council has approved a three-year annual commitment of $225,000 for the conversion of the former police department headquarters on Marquette St.into a so-called “innovative” business incubator project.Council voted 16-3 in favour of the plan Downtown Sherbrooke could be about to undergo a major facelift as City of Sherbrooke planners contemplate a complete reconfiguration of the Route 143 interchange that would eliminate the complex of overpasses that marks the road’s junction with Grandes-Fourches Boulevard.According to a report in Monday’s La Tribune, the city is considering moving the highway west of the railroad to bring it closer to Wellington Street North.There would then be no need to rebuild a massive concrete structure like the current Grandes-Fourches Bridge, which spans the railway line and the Magog River.A permanent ban on heavy traffic on the west side of the St.Francis River would also be imposed.According to officials, such a plan would have several advantages.Besides the cost reduction, large tracts of green space along the confluence of the Monday evening.After discussing the issue for more than two hours last week in committee of the whole, the city’s elected officials were at it again for more than an hour Monday.Three representatives from Sherbrooke Innopole were on hand to answer questions and provide insight on the file.Despite the overwhelming approval of the plan, consider- two rivers, which was a natural stopping place for Native Americans, and which is currently dominated by concrete.The move would also eliminate the overpasses at the intersection of Terrill Street and Grandes-Fourches with the installation of a roundabout.Reducing infrastructure at the entrance to downtown from the north would make the sector more pleasant and amenable to the establishment of a new upscale residential project at the foot of Court and Abenaki street.Municipal officials were treated to a brief presentation of the project during a retreat last January.The reconfiguration of this part of town has implications for the future of the Place Niki-totek outdoor theatre as Route 143 could end up going right past the box office.“Since there is no work planned in 2015 for the Grandes-Fourches Bridge but only the preparation of plans and specifications, a review of this issue does not affect the de- able reticence was also expressed about the utility of the plan, its costs, and the competence of the city to rush into this kind of project.“We present it as a panacea for holding on to graduates.Yes, this solution could meet our needs, but we need good, well-crafted ideas,” said councillor Hélène Dauphinais (Pin-Solitaire).“ cision to come on Nikitotek’s next season.As for the long term, we'll see,” says Executive Committee chair Serge Paquin (Centre-Sud).The stage and the stands at Place Nikitotek can be easily disassembled and moved and if the City were to agree to a request by promoter Quebec Is-sime to construct a roof for its performances, the entire configuration could be changed.Destination Sherbrooke, meanwhile, has also made a recommendation to Council regarding the future of these shows without having seen any plans for reconfiguration of Route 143, although they were aware that the project is under discussion.It is also unclear as to whether the new infrastructure design would require moving the amphitheatre.“The important thing for now is to decide whether to continue our association with the promoter and even if an agreement with him is possible,” said Destination Sherbrooke president Rémi Demers (Marie-Rivier).It is in the qualitative stage, which does not allow us to check the return on investment after three years.I would prefer the project to be postponed to clarify some things.” Others felt it was time to move ahead.Diane Delisle (Deauville) argued that, “1 do not think keeping the status quo we will move us forward.We will see in three years if the results are satisfactory.” Louisda Brochu (Lavigerie) added “What is required of us is a small amount to create a major economic lever.We cannot postpone the decision as some of my colleagues have requested.Companies are already settling elsewhere.” “Collectively, we don’t often have the opportunity to innovate.What is not in doubt at the moment is the urgency to act,” said Mayor Bernard Sevi- gny- Sherbrooke Innopole is currently in discussions with Desjardins, which could invest in the incubated companies if not

day." -David Bowie, “Heroes" The pressure’s on.Our friends’ annual Halloween bash is swiftly approaching, and 1 have six costumes to coordinate.Their party has a theme, typically announced not much more than a month following the last Halloween.Yes, that means I’ve had almost a year to plan.No, it’s not that surprising that we’re down to the wire again.Honestly, it doesn’t feel that last minute, and my imagination works tremendously well when the clock’s ticking is audible.Themes over the years have been sci-fi, the animal kingdom and last year’s was Hogwarts meets The Shire, with a spin on all things Harry Potter or Lord of The Rings.Being a huge fan of both, it Heroes - if just for one day was a question of choosing factions, and we all leaned towards Harry Potter, dressing as Hedwig (me, Harry’s owl), Harry Potter (my stepson), Luna Loveg-ood (friend of Harry’s, my stepdaughter), Xenophilius Lovegood (Luna’s dad, my partner in life).Sir Godric Gryffindor (one of the founders of Hogwarts’ School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, my eldest son), and Fawkes (headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore’s pet phoenix, my youngest son).We were quite the crew.Seeing my boyfriend with shoulder length blond hair swinging on the dance floor was tears-enducing, a drastic shift from his dose-cropped Bruce Willis ‘do.(Yes, that means bald and sexy.) This year’s theme was announced with plenty of time for planning, but the problem lies more in decisiveness than anything else.The options were many, and yet few, somehow.Initially I had opted to dress as my childhood/early teen idol, actress Molly Ringwald, specifically from her role as Andie in Pretty in Pink, even more specifically, in her pink home-made prom dress.The kids were a split crew - either totally uncertain, or absolutely sure.My stepdaughter’s immediate choice was Lady Gaga - she joked about finding a way to make her famous “meat dress,” the frock that caused the most media frenzy since Lady Di’s wedding gown.Instead, her very crafty mum helped her develop a dress, wig and headgear that would reflect the art that is a Gaga outfit.My stepson was unsure, and whenever we brought it up, he remained so.My eldest remained my guinea pig, not yet at a point in communication where he could express such a thing, but also surprisingly very into the concept of dressing up, certain to enjoy himself at the party.My youngest ran through a tremendous series of concepts, from his favourite Skylanders characters (from a popular video game series) to Emmet, the main character in The Lego Movie, sure to be a popular one on the trick-or-treat circuit this year.My love tossed out ideas - Marty McFly, à la Michael J.Fox in Back to the Future, or even Doc Brown, made famous by actor Christopher Lloyd in the same film.We went over some of Doc Brown quotes in English, given that he was more familiar with the movie in French.“Great Scott!” and “Roads?Where we’re going, we don’t need roads." He considered famous Quebec character Passe Montagne, of Passe-Partout fame, with his strange burgundy suit, curly and hair and butterfly bow tie, but that didn’t stick either.He finally settled on a character portrayed by actor Harrison Ford — and a few quick purchases on eBay meant that he would receive his whip and crystal skull in time, now.I’m sure you’re already on track with what well-known adventure hero he is dressing up as, but I won't spoil the fun with an exact name, so next week I’ll see if I can get a photo of this year’s motley crew in.On Monday evening, my youngest and I Googled possibilities for his costume, and that of his older brother.A very enthusiastic decision was made to opt for a Star Lord costume, otherwise known as character Peter Quill of the popular film Guardians of the Galaxy.That made a decision for my older son’s costume a little easier, choosing to dress him up as Groot, a super hero tree, if you can believe that.Groot is limited to only several lines of dialogue in the film, mainly the statement “I am Groot” in response to all questions and statements.We chuckled about teaching Angus to say that, and what a kick he would get out of it.I’ll save my choice for hero as a secret, but let’s just say there’s a clue in this column.Our family is together every second weekend.Last weekend was our fam jam, and it was on the ride home to their mum’s that my stepson finally came up with what he wanted to be.“Papa, je veux me déguiser en toi!” (Daddy, I want to dress up as you!) Needless to say, that dad’s heart grew ten times that day.proud at the surprise “hero" moment.Giggles ensued when it was suggested that the boy will have to go bald for Halloween - “Je vais me déguiser en maman d’abord!” (I’ll dress up as mum then!)

Bishop's University campus tonight at 7:30 p.m.to give the Tait-Chattopadhyay Memorial Humanities Lecture.Tire presentation is open to the public and is sponsored by the Champlain humanities department, the Lennoxville & District Women’s Centre, the Champlain SEXed Peer Educators, the Champlain Students Association, and the Townshippers’ Association “Place aux jeunes" public health program.Fried will lead the audience through a soul-searching exploration of the timeless concerns of youth and the particular challenges they face in our contemporary moment.He will show that young people’s experiences in the online world can be alternately daunting, inspiring, hurtful, and pleasurable, and that, ultimately, social media practices reflect a deeper and all-too human desire to be seen, to be heard, and to connect.For more than 20 years, Scott Fried has worked closely with youth with an eye to what they find important, and how educators, parents, and a caring community can support young people through common struggles such as bullying, discrimination, low self-esteem, familial conflict, substance abuse, dating hardships, sexual identity and sexual health concerns, body image issues, eating disorders, self harm, and suicide.He has worked extensively with educators and youth workers and is an annual guest speaker at the Office of President Clinton in New York City.His presentations are widely acclaimed jjrd have won numerous awards and his writings appear in numerous pe- riodicals, newspapers, and books.Fried volunteers with Familias Salud-ables in Roatan,

Saint-Jhan-Sur-Richelieu Police say a car was driven deliberately into two soldiers, killing one of them in what Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney called an act of violence against Canada that was “dearly linked” to terrorist ideology.Blaney said Tuesday that Canada is taking terrorist threats seriously, adding he was “horrified and saddened” by Monday’s incident in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.“What took place yesterday is clearly linked to terrorist ideology," he told a news conference in the town southeast of Montreal that is home to a military.college and a garrison.“It is an unacceptable act of violence against our country, our Quebec values, our Canadian values.” Quebec provincial police announced the soldier’s death Tuesday morning and later identified him as Patrice Vincent, a 53-year-old warrant officer.No other details about Vincent were released in the police tweet.In the Commons, however, Prime Minister Stephen Harper praised Vincent as a 28-year veteran who served with distinction across the country.“This was a despicable act of violence that strikes against not just this soldier and his colleagues, but frankly against our very values as a civilized democracy,” Harper said.“We will continue to stand with the men and women of the Armed Forces who defend us against these threats.” Provincial police described the second soldier’s injuries as less serious and said his life was not in danger.Lt.Guy Lapointe told a separate news conference Tuesday that the act was deliberate and that one of the two soldiers was in uniform.Earlier, Blaney said that as far as he knows no order has been given to members of the Canadian Forces to not wear their fatigues in public.Harper also issued a statement Tuesday to offer his condolences to the slain THE CANADIAN PRESS/PASCAL MARCHAND A car is overturned in the ditch in a cordoned off area in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que.on Monday Oct.20, 2014.One of two soldiers hit by a

of the member who was injured,” he said.“I would also like to thank first responders on the scene for their efforts.“Finally, I want to express that the authorities can count on our full support in order to get to the bottom of this terrible act.” On Monday, the Prime Minister’s Office said the man who died from police gunfire after he struck the soldiers had “become radicalized.” “The individual who struck the two CAF members with his car is known to federal authorities, including the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team,” said a statement from Jason MacDonald, Harper’s communications director.“Federal authorities have confirmed that there are clear indications that the individual had become radicalized.” On Tuesday, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said the Mounties

merchandise The Canadian Press Toronto Womenswear retailer Boutique Jacob Inc.is abandoning its restructuring efforts and closing all its 92 stores in Canada.The Montreal-based clothing chain says efforts over the last few months to “try to breathe new life into the company” have failed.The insolvent retailer has been liquidating inventory at its Canadian stores since filing a proposal to creditors under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act in May.It says it will proceed with selling all of the remaining merchandise at its stores and online at Jacob.ca.The company has been under creditor protection since November 2010 when it underwent operational restructuring, which included closing some 50 stores.Jacob was founded in 1977.Spokeswoman Cristelle Basmaji said the retailer has been working over the past few months to develop a “viable relaunch plan” and find new financing, but those efforts have failed.“Unfortunately, the increasingly difficult economic context and the significant decrease in mall traffic weakened the company's fragile financial situation and forced it to close its doors,” she said in a statement Tuesday.Like other retailers, Jacob has faced intense competition from other clothiers, particularly international brands like Target, Zara, H&M and Forever 21, all vying for the same market share.The company has one location in Sherbrooke, at the Carrefour de TEstrie.vidual might have had into other areas.” He said he does not suspect the slain man had co-conspirators.“We don’t suspect that, but we’re open to that and we’re concerned about that, so we’re going to be pursuing every investigative avenue to satisfy ourselves that we’ve eliminated that possibility,” he told reporters after an appearance before the House of Commons house affairs committee.And Paulson confirmed the man was one of 90 suspected extremists the RCMP believed were intending to join fights abroad or who have returned to Canada.“That’s what follows from the analysis; his passport was seized by us.” “He was part of our investigative efforts to try and identify those people who might commit a criminal act travelling abroad for terrorist purposes.In that respect, we were working him and other suspects, and we need to let the investigation now proceed, and pursue and satisfy everyone.” Provincial police also said the 25-year-old in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu was known to authorities.Several media outlets cited law enforcement sources as naming the suspect as Martin Rouleau, though police would not confirm his identity to The Canadian Press.Lapointe refused to give out the name on Tuesday, citing the need for the coroner to formally identify him.On Monday, he said the shooting occurred after the man hit the two pedestrians in the parking lot of a shopping mall and took off.That triggered a chase that ended with the man losing control and his car rolling over several times.Lapointe said the man was brandishing a knife when he emerged from the vehicle.In accordance with section 206.16 of the Act respecting School Elections, the Chief Electoral Officer wishes to inform the public that the following candidates* has

authorities named one Martin Rouleau, a recent convert to Islam, as the driver of the vehicle that deliberately struck two Canadian Forces soldiers, killing one, before he was killed by police himself following a high-speed chase.Immediately, with almost indecent haste, politicians began to link this aberrant act to the global organized Islamic terrorism that we have all been conditioned to fear.“It is an unacceptable act of violence against our country, our Quebec values, our Canadian values,” raged Public Safety Minister Steve Blaney in the absence of any facts.“What took place yesterday is clearly linked to terrorist ideology.” It was an interesting choice of words, in that he chose to insert the word “ideology” into the mix, rendering any “linkage” to organized terrorism speculation at best.Information concerning the background, beliefs, and motivations of the suspect is sketchy, yet we are told that he was a convert to Islam who had been “radicalized,” with the implication that he was somehow connected to the horrors with which we are constantly being bombarded and which have dominated recent headlines.It’s a natural progression, of course, but one that we should be careful of following.Police, of course, are investigating the case and it has already been con- finned that the RCMP had already had their eyes on Rouleau for a considerable amount of time.He was among 90 individuals believed to pose a threat.We cannot be anything but horrified that a native Canadian would express his political or religious extremism in such a manner and the pointless death of one of our troops on home soil is a tragedy in and of itself.That this event was part of an organized conspiracy, however, is another question entirely, and despite the insinuations from the Royal Canadian Harper Government, is purely a matter of conjecture.At first glance, it would appear that this, in fact, was the act of an individual acting alone — and in the current context — rather ineptly.The purpose of terror, as a political weapon, is to sow fear, distrust, and insecurity among the population and to cripple the government in its response.It is designed to send the message that no-one is safe and that the enemy is formidable and relentless.Whoever he is, Martin Rouleau and his one-man murder squad hardly fit the description.It’s just as likely that his psychological wheels fell off.As wealthy and open as our society is, there remains within it a large mass of outliers, people who do not share in is benefits and who are outraged by the crimes committed in our name that “protect” our prosperity.As we speak, Canada is again preparing to send its scandalously neglected military into a foreign firing line with no clear objectives or strategy beyond the ever-popular “bombing them back to the Middle Ages,” a strategy that might work if only our opponents weren’t living there already.Although it’s being aggressively opposed by the some of the world’s most powerful militaries, the Islamic State that now occupies the number 1 spot on the Bogeyman hit list does not appear to have slowed down its expansion or the “ready for prime time” atrocities it conveniently feeds to an entranced and horrified western media.The Empire of Evil has a brand new poster child and the government wants us to be very, very afraid.Of course we can't be indifferent to any act of violence couched in political or religious terms, although neither is often the origin of such behaviour.Far more often, a sense of isolation and purposelessness motivates individuals to seek out world views that validate their own and provide the connection and sense of belonging that elude them in their daily lives.It is the same perspective that feeds the ranks of street gangs, militias, hate groups, the Man-son Family, and science fiction fan clubs.Obviously, outcomes can vary.We don't as yet know what was going on in the mind of Martin Rouleau when he decided to take out his targets, or what he hoped he might accomplish.Given the amateurish — seemingly random and spontaneous — action Rouleau chose to take, however, we can be pretty sure he doesn’t represent any professional terrorist organization.It is, of course, entirely possible that Rouleau belonged to some clandestine cell purposely planning terrorist activity in Canada, and this would certainly correspond to the threats made recently by one Canadian actively in service of the despicable Islamic State.Beyond this, however, it is difficult to see a connection between the determined, well-organized Islamist movement and this unhappy Canadian wannabe.Rouleau’s action appears to have been one man’s individual expression of discontent and anger and can serve its purported cause only if we allow it to alter the way we live our lives.That is purpose of terror and that has been its signature since 9/11, when it became patently obvious that a single attack on North American soil could drive us to complete distraction.Following the horror and the trauma of the 9/11 attack, Americans in particular, although not exclusively, have abandoned many of their most sincerely held values — privacy, equality, freedom of opinion and expression — in a desperate attempt to preserve sense of safety and control.As a result, small-town police forces find themselves armed with armoured transport vehicles and strike force equipment that spot in the face of any suggestion that we are becoming a police state.Apparently, we are supposed to accept excessive, pointless violence from police officers who look like us as they try to defend us from those who don’t.In Canada, we have largely escaped the hysteria that has rendered American democratic politics such a bad joke, but that isn’t because the RCHG hasn’t tried.Were we to believe what they tell us, we’d be afraid to leave our beds to venture into a country dominated by gun-hating, eco-terrorist.Liberal, communist, left wing, tree-huggers with a gay agenda.Thankfully, we have the Harper Government to protect us.The desperate act of a single unhappy Quebecer should not be taken as a sign that ‘jihad’ has come to Canada.It should be seen for whatever it is -and that is something we don’t yet, and may never know.In the meantime, we should be alert to attempts by the government to expand its power, silence its critics, and scare the crapula out of us.It's a sobering thought.Rather than the champion of our liberties, our current government could very well be their greatest threat - all, of course, in the same of protecting us from evil.A spider once said similar things to a fly.¦ — TUI — RECORD 1195 Galt East.Sherbrooke, Quebec JIG 1Y7 Fax: 819-821-3179 e-mail: newsroonvSisherbrookerecord.com Website:

October 22, 2014 Page 7 Sherbrooke spending in the middle of the pack Record Staff Sherbrooke The City of Sherbrooke finds itself in the middle of the pack of municipalities with 100,000 inhabitants or more in terms of its spending, according to data compiled by the HEC Centre for Productivity and Prosperity in Montreal.On average, Sherbrooke spends 4.6 per cent less than other Quebec cities of similar size.Sherbrooke ranks fifth out of ten, behind Trois-Rivieres, Laval, Longucuil and Lévis, but ranks first in terms of total per capita spending at $1,454.This is the second year the Centre for Productivity and Prosperity, part of the University of Montreal’s business school, has compiled the financial information that the 1,110 Quebec cities and towns send annually to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.The data collected allowed researchers to establish a ranking of municipalities for the financial year 2012.Centre director Robert Gagné believes that there is little change from last year.“Overall, in one year, you can’t expect big changes.Again, municipalities of 50,000 to 100,000 are the easiest to manage.” Sherbrooke’s population is currently 159,448, according to the City.Prior to amalgamation in 2002, it was 76,000.In the category of medium-sized cities, Drummondville again won the prize through spending on average 21.8 per cent lower than the average with average per capita spending amounting to $1,130.Reduced expenses do not necessarily mean good management, however, but may indicate specific choices.“In terms of snow removal, for example, some cities have decided to blow snow onto trucks, while others send it by the roadside.Costs are necessarily different.It is a matter of choice.What becomes interesting is when there is a discrepancy that we are not able to explain,” Gagné said.In terms of snow removal, $her-brooke falls at the forefront of the cost per kilometre, at $4,978, almost twice the average for its category and four times that of Montreal.Although Sherbrooke sometimes displays very good results, it also falls into the same category as Montreal and Quebec City, two cities which generally increase the average cost.Nevertheless, the fact remains that the cost per kilometre jumped 24.6 per cent in Sherbrooke between 2009 and 2012.At a time when the compensation of municipal employees is the subject of intense debate, the Centre for Productivity has compiled data on the wages of blue collar workers, white collar workers, and executives.“What we find is that everyone is relatively well paid in the municipal sector.In the category Sherbrooke is in, we understand that Montreal and Quebec are paying their employees very well and providing good benefits,” Gagné says.In terms of employee salaries, Sherbrooke has the lowest average in terms of average total compensation at $76,732, including benefits.The same is also true for blue collar workers, whose average compensation amounts to $58,573.Paradoxically, the City of Sherbrooke has the most blue collar workers per 100 inhabitants in its class and the second highest number of all municipal employees per 100 residents.In the administrative region covering most of the Eastern Townships, Saint Isidore de Clifton ranked first, spending on average 39.4 per cent less than the rest, with Dixville and Saint-Georges-de-Windsor behind.At the other end of the spectrum lie the municipalities of Orford, Hatley, and North Hatley, with the latter spending on average 89.4 per cent more than other towns of comparable size.“Small municipalities have to allocate significant costs on a small population,” Gagné says.“The idea of a ranking is to group similar cities into reference groups, but that does not mean that we should ignore the differences.There is always the possibility that the City did not send the right data to the Ministry.” As for Magog, it spends 2.1 per cent less than others on average, while Vic-toriaville has spends 13.8 per cent less than the average.Army vet seeks Conservative nod for Sherbrooke Record Staff Sherbrooke A retired army medical officer has thrown his hat into the ring for the nomination as the Sherbrooke candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada.This is Dr.Marc Dauphin, a retired Major in the Canadian Army says he’s up for what will surely be a formidable challenge.“I feel that I still have the energy and I want to help my fellow citizens,” says Dauphin, who spent 39 years in the Forces.“I want to move forward on veterans and 1 also have good knowledge of economics.I can help.” Dauphin says that it was at the instigation of members of the party that he decided to enter politics.“Recently, I met with Denis Lebel during his visit to Sherbrooke.” As a soldier, Dauphin could not campaign for a political party, but prior to his career in the Canadian Forces, he says he supported former Progressive Conservative leader Brian Mulroney, who has recently expressed his disdain for the current leader of the new Conservative Party."I have always been close to the values of the Conservative Party.It makes me angry to see how Canada is in debt," he said.“As Canada becomes solvent,” he says wistfully, “the more the government will invest in the areas for which it is responsible.We need to promote individ- ual freedom.Too much government, sometimes becomes too much.” As a candidate, Dauphin will face a formidable challenge in the Sherbrooke riding of former “Red Tory” and Quebec Liberal Leader Jean Charest.“It will be a challenge for me,” Dauphin admits.“We have an uphill battle.I was doctor of war, I have seen others." Dauphin also took the opportunity to announce the French-language translation of his book Combat Doctor under the title Médecin de guerre by Éditions de l’homme.In the memoir, the emergency room physician recounts his experience as head of a military hospital in Kandahar, where the survival rate reached a record 97 per cent.So far.Dauphin does not know if will face another Conservative candidate in Sherbrooke.“I do not care,” he says.“I know I am capable of doing the job.If another person comes, we will debate over who gets the job.” At least three people are in the running for the Liberal Party nomination in Sherbrooke for the next federal election, Noella Ouellet, Tom Allen, and Edwin Moreno.There is also, of course, sitting MP Pierre-Luc Dusseault of the New Democratic Party to contend with.While Sherbrooke was one of only two ridings to vote for the old Progessive Conservatives in 1993, it has not been in Tory hands since Charest left in 1998.The election is set for October 2015.High speed + drunk driving = trouble for one Sherbrooke man Record Staff Sherbrooke A 31-year old Sherbrooke man has been arrested after being caught driving at over 170 km/h while intoxicated on Highway 10 in Sherbrooke.'Flie accused was traveling eastbound when he was intercepted by the SQ at around 1 a.m.Monday morning.Tire officers noticed symptoms of intoxication — presumably in addition to his driving more than 70 km/h above the posted speed limit — and after the routine investigation the man was arrested for driving while impaired.His blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.But that’s not all! He was also issued with a ticket for $1,160 and 14 demerit points were added to his record.His license was also suspended for 90 days.Read all about it -Two decades of headlines compiled into 2 books The Record has scanned and digitized original copies of the front pages of our newspaper from the turn of the century.Read about the efforts and sacrifices of two World Wars, the Depression, fires, floods, crime and punishment.More than that, the pages are a testament to the builders and leaders whose names grace our street signs and institutions.The Record was a driving force behind the formation of boards of trade, a watchdog over town councils, a lead advocate for the extension of the railway to local communities and a vigilant protector of the region's natural resources.jpü TVaiIu KVX vt Our goal today is to print volumes in segments highlighting the \ most important stories of each decade.• Volume 1 is from 1911-1920 .oRf>• Volume 2 is from 1921-1930.Only a limited number of the bound 10” x 13' editions have been TT 1 printed and are for sale for only $25 each plus taxes ($28.75).Drop by our office at 1195 Galt St.East, Sherbrooke and pick them up.For more information call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com Page 8 Wednesday, October 22, 2014 ne wsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Cowansville exhibit studies passage of time Record Staff The Cowansville Department of Culture, Tourism and Heritage is presenting a retrospective exhibition of the works of artist François-Xavier Chamberland called L'usure du Temps, at the Bruck Museum and the Gabrielle Giroux-Bertrand Library.Joining the exhibition are artists Réjean Bernier, Jacques Brault, Lagaan, Paul-André Leblanc, Sara Mills, and Viala, artists whose works have affinities with Chamberland.Chamberland was born in Gaspé in 1931 and studied painting with Simone-Aubry-Beaulieu in Ottawa and at the Woolfitt School of Contemporary Art in Toronto.With a long career as a director, producer and presenter in the Quebec and Ontario television, film, video, and radio industries, he has also worked in many artistic fields, notably as the director of the of opening and closing ceremonies at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games and as director, production manager, and producer of television series and cinema.He has also illustrated several books of poetry.Chamberland has won the Panasonic Award for best educational video, Ani-maths, the France-Acadie Prize for his book illustrations, and the Cannes Award of Excellence for his commercials.He received the 1996 Prixjean-Bap-tiste Rousseaux from the Toronto Historical Society and the Order of Ontario in 1997.Having lived nearly twenty years in Toronto, Chamberland settled in the Eastern Townships and has exhibited regularly since.Chamberland is deeply inspired by folk art and the marriage of crude materials, salvaged objects and artifacts and his work jealously guards the enigmatic aspect that feeds the poetry of his collections.The exhibit will run until December 15, and is open at the Bruck Museum from Tuesday to Friday between 9:30 and noon, as well as from 1-4 p.m.It is also open on Saturday from 1-4 p.m.At the Gabrielle Giroux-Bertrand Library, the opening hours are Monday and Tuesdays from noon - 5:30 p.m., from noon - 8 p.m.Wednesday through Friday and from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m.Saturdays.Evening of memories at Wales Home COURTESY WALES HOME frWF; Km mr L** * By Claudia Villemaire Richmond The big sitting room at Wales Home was warmed with the flickering tiny lights of over 1,000 miniature candles on Friday as residents, their families and friends listened quietly as each name was read.The occasion, a Candlelight Evening of Memories has become an annual tradition at this seniors’ residence, a nostalgic moment in time for memories of loved ones to re-surface.With over a thousand candles purchased, the evening also serves a dual purpose.The annual fund raising campaign will be launched Oct.30th and Awareness event Cont’d from Page 1 Win a package for 2 5 concerts of the série Grands Concerts BMO ______ Mail in Coupon to: RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, QC JIG 1Y7 Name: Address: City:____ Tel.(home): ______________Postal Code Tel.(work):_______________ A drawing at random will take place on Tuesday, November 4,2014 at noon at The Record.Stéphane laforest, Conductor 75th ORCHESTRE SYMPHONIQUE DE SHERBROOKE 2014-2015 SEASON Dazzling and accessible programming!

My Kira, due to her fragile skin con-j dition, suffers regularly from infection] to wounds.My vet, Martine Nadeau, called me that night, in response to my text to her, confirming that I made the right choice.Thankfully his infection is nipped in the bud and his wound looks back to normal.He is still not very happy about having to wear his cone at night, but until I am sure he won’t lick his wound and create another infection, he will have to deal with it.I very much hope my blonde/husky boy will find a home soon.He just craves being with his people so much that he does things to take his mind of being lonely.I know that when he has a bed to cozy up in with his master at night his mind will be rested and he will no longer feel the need to pass the time in ways that end him in the hospital.If you have a chewer on your hands, make sure to anticipate the least expected.Before your guy or girl ends up in a cone, like Turner.Arizona is four months old now.She is very affectionate and will make a great family pet.< r, » I IS® Jack is a five-year-old Boxer.He had a rough life before coming to us, but the scars on his legs and head do not follow him or show in his daily attitude.He is very obedient and extremely affectionate and deserves a good home for the rest of his days.Rachel is two years old.She was a stray and had to be trapped with her two kittens.She has come a long way and now likes being patted.She is good with other cats and for a family who is willing to continue to show her she has nothing to fear, she will make a great pet.v- 'V Luke is almost a year old.Full of life and love.He is good with other dogs, but has little experience with cats.He would need a proper introduction to cats in his new home.This page is provided by Blue Seal - The Animal Nutrition Centre and The Pet Connection.t im»*.CENTRE OE NUTRITION ANIMALE COME SEE OUR EXPERIENCED STAFF FOR ALL YOUR PET'S NUTRITIONAL NEEDS!

soccer as the senior team captured the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools national championship Monday afternoon in Lennoxville.The national title comes on the heels ot an historic regular season ETIAC championship for the junior girls soccer Spartans last Wednesday.Defence proved to be the winning edge for the senior Spartans as they allowed just two goals in five goals as they posted a near-perfect 4-0-1 record.They began tournament play with a 2-0 shutouts over Pickering College and Bishop Stra-chan School and then finished round-robin play with a 1-1 tie with Sacred Heart Academy of Montreal.The Spartans continued their winning ways in the semifinals as they blanked St.Clement School 1-0 to advance to the gold medal game.In a close encounter with Rothesay Netherwood School of New Brunswick, Stanstead prevailed with a hard-earned, come-from-behind 2-1 victory to bring home the championship banner.The Head Coach Erik Van Dyke stated that the championship was truly a team victory.“Ifyou look up and down our lineup, you don’t see a lot of technical skill.Our first touches aren’t the best, we don’t pass pretty, and we can’t kick the ball more than 30 yards in the air.But I challenge you to find any group of athletes that digs harder.These players defend and backcheck and chase and cover for each other like no team I’ve ever coached.We were clear underdogs in the semis and in the finals, but somehow toughed out one-goal victories in both despite only having about 25 per cent of the ball in each game.“At the risk of sounding ïNIOü SfRCS SÙCCE; tournament COURTESY

good this junior girls team is,” coach Eric Grenier said after the victory.“It may be many, many years before another team is this good.This junior girls team could compete and do pretty well at the senior level.” The team will have an opportunity to back up Grenier’s belief next week at the ETIAC playoffs where the Spartans will be seeded number 1.A PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN, PT.1 By Brian Maclver Special to the Record Lennoxville “Hey Hector, what was that guy asking you?” “He wanted to know why we line up weird on special teams.” “Oh really?Tell him it’s because we plan on faking before the end of the game.” The look on the Rouge et Or’s player’s face when defensive back Ryan Hector relays his coach’s message to his opponent makes Corey Goff, the special teams co-ordinator and defensive line coach for the Bishop’s Gaiters, laugh so hard that another coach has to hold him up and keep him from falling onto the field.The Gaiters’ special teams have been.peculiar.this season under the reins of Goff, a relatively unknown coach in the Quebec conference, who has nonetheless been creating problems for opposing special teams co-ordinators, saying that he likes to put stress on opposing

in those systems, it makes your system that much better.” While not famous in Quebec (yet), Goff learned from the best, being mentored by Gary Etcheverry who is now the defensive coordinator for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL.Etch, as Goff calls him, has been coaching since 1980 and is renowned for his odd but successful strategies, which includes running a “double wing” offense, which dates back to 1912 and Glenn “Pop” Warner, at the University of Ottawa with Goff serving as the offensive coordinator.“He’s taught me 90% of the football I know7.It’s probably 99.8%.He’s been a great mentor to me and everything I’m doing is a reflection of what he’s taught me," boldly claims Goff.His partnership with the heralded coach dates back to 2006, when they began coaching junior football together at the other end of the country in Surrey, B.C.Starting with the defensive line, Etcheverry’s unconventional philosophies can be seen in how his pupil does things with the Gaiters.“My guys know that they need to sprint to the ball every single play,” says Goff about the defensive line.“They think they’re sprinting, out they’re not sprinting the way I want them to, but they’re coming along.” The Gaiters’ coach has been undertaking what is best described as a “reprogramming” of the defensive line’s mentality.While most defensive lineman are only thinking about sacks, Goff has been preaching attacking the ball.In fact, Goff is happy that his team has the least amount of sacks in the conference to this point, saying that he’s “not about sacks.” “We don’t want to sack the quarterback, we want the ball,” explains Goff.“The ball is the issue.A sack is great and every- thing, but it’s just a glorified tackle for loss on a certain player.Now if you’re to tell me that we’re taking the ball out of the quarterback’s hand and we have eight takeaways, now I’d be pretty happy.” “When the quarterback is standing in the pocket with the ball in his hands, that’s the most vulnerable position the ball can be in,” he adds.“If the ball was fumbled and an offensive lineman picks it up, he’s going to hold on to it for dear life with two hands.Same things with running backs when they’re running in a crowd: two hands.Same thing CEGEP de Sherbrooke names new AD Record Staff Sherbrooke The Cégep de Sherbrooke has acted quickly to replace Jean-Benoit Ju-binville, who is leaving the school to become the athletic director at Bishop’s.The college announced Tuesday that Sylvie Goulombe would take over as the co-ordinator of its Physical Activity Centre, the CAP, which includes oversight of the Volontaires sports teams.Goulombe has been an em- ployee of the CEGEP for 25 years, beging her career as a CAP recreation intern, during which she was instrumental in the creation of CAP Jeunesse She later moved into the student life department and was promoted to Coordinator of Student Services, a position she has held since 2008.Goulombe, who is a former Volontaires volleyball player, is also on the board of the Merite Sportif de 1’Estrie awards gala.Goulombe will assume her new responsibilities on Nov.3.with receivers who are about to get hit: two hands.The only player that this doesn’t register with is the quarterback.” While the turnover margin has yet to turn in the Gaiters’ favour, Goff claims that it’s still a work in progress, mentioning that “It’s hard to change a culture.When former players are calling'up the guys and telling them they need to get this many sacks, it’s hard to change that mentality.But the guys are coming along.” Read more about

I initially thought, uHow nice” WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22,2014 Annie,S MtlilboX Otherwise, people could easily get the wrong idea, as you did.And Dear Annie: A few years ago, I while we cannot blame a family for obtained a quote from a company for a manufacturing service.My business ended up not using them.Two months later, I received an invitation from this company to an open house.I initially thought, “How nice.” However, on reading further, it said a religious organization would give a presentation and donations would be encouraged.1 felt I was being used.Within the week, I received a follow-up call regarding the original quote.1 informed them that their prices were not in our range, and at some point during the conversation, I gently mentioned that 1 thought the open house invitation was in poor taste.I probably should have been more diplomatic, but I thought the person on the other end could use some constructive criticism.In return, I was blasted.It turns out she was the daughter of the owner.In yelling at me, she also said that one of her sisters suffers from a genetic birth defect and that the presentation was to raise funds for the disease.After all this time, it still bothers me.I just figured this family-owned business was giving jobs to relatives who perhaps were unaware of appropriate business practices.Was it OK for this company to use its business contacts to try to raise funds for a charity this way?— A Reader Dear Reader: First of all, if the religious presentation was to raise funds for a specific medical cause, it should have been stated on the original invitation.wanting to reach out to as many contacts as possible, it was inappropriate to use their minor business contact with you to solicit funds for a personal charity.But it would have been better had you not chastised the company employee over the phone, even with good intentions.A simple “yes” or “no” to the invitation would have sufficed, and then this wouldn’t be bothering you years later.Please try to let it go- Dear Annie: My sister lives 30 minutes away.We all pile into my parents’ car for the ride.The problem is, my sister serves disgusting food: fish that’s not fresh, and salad drenched in dressing that she makes hours in advance, so it gets soggy.She covers the table in glitter, which gets into the food.Bringing a dish is not allowed.I usually eat lunch before going so I won’t be hungry.When my sister asks why I’m not eating, I make some excuse.What should I do?1 don’t want to say her cooking is horrible.Should I just put up with it?— Big City Dear Big City: How often do you go?If it’s less than once a month, we’d put up with it.How sensitive is your sister to criticism?If you go every week, you might offer to bring a dish by saying, “You host so often, I feel guilty not helping out.I insist on bringing the salad.” Your sister may also learn (in time) to be a better cook and get the glitter off the table.Right now, she's still trying to impress you.Plymouth-Trinity United Church Women On Tuesday, September 9, several ladies gathered in the parlor for the first UCW meeting of the fall session.A large collection of toiletries to be given to L’Escale, the local women’s shelter was left on the stage.Our President, Thelma Philbrick, called the meeting to order and we then all rose to repeat the UCW Purpose.Due to Janet McBurney’s absence, we had no Devotions.Carol Gosselin received the offering.Our Recording Secretary, Cathy Marshall, read the minutes of the May meeting and they were accepted as read.Cathy reported that five cards had been sent since our May meeting and a list of cards to be sent was made.Lois Deagle gave her Visiting report of 12 home, 19 nursing home, 2 hospital, 179 phone calls and 20 emails for a total of 232 visits over the summer months.Thelma thanked those who worked at Gwen Bell’s funeral reception as well as those who worked at Rev.Robin Osborne’s goodbye party.We are planning our Pre-Christmas Buffet and Sale which will be held on Saturday, November 8 from 3:30 - 6 p.m.Our menu will consist of ham, baked beans, scalloped potatoes, rolls, salads, cookies and squares.Also we are looking for donations from our congregation for the bake table and sales table.We will be welcoming our guest speaker Linda Hoy to our October meeting who will be speaking on Associated Country Women of the World Conference which she attended in India.Lois adjourned our meeting at 8:45 p.m.Joint installation of Alexander #59 and Victoria #16 tocr Cathy Marshall Submitted by Recording Secretary Officers of Alexandra #59 present VG Dorothy Bobbin;
