AUGUST 18-19-20-21,2016 75 CENTS + TAXES PM#0040007682 Thursday, August 18, 2016 Medical dispatch center\u2019s questions an important part of patient care By Rachel Newcombe Special to The Record The inner workings of a medical dispatch center are not something the average person thinks about when being asked questions about their medical emergency while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.The manager of the health services dispatch center for the Eastern Townships (CCSE), Luc Lapointe, said that the questions they asked their callers were important to providing proper care for the people in their jurisdiction.Lapointe explained that when a person called 9-1-1, depending on what service they needed, they would be transferred to a communications center.In the case of a medical or health emergency, the caller would be transferred to the CCSE.\u201cWe manage all the ambulances,\u201d Lapointe said, adding that throughout the Eastern Townships, there were 36 ambulances.\u201cWe manage 42,000 calls per year,\u201d he said.This number of calls means that they have to ask patients several questions to decide just how big an emergency the situation is.This is something Bryan Counter, a CCSE employee, said many people do not understand about the dispatch service.\u201cWe dispatch the ambulance according to priority,\u201d he explained, adding that how soon the ambulance gets there depends on the situation.\u201cThere\u2019s still going to be an ambulance on the way,\u201d he said.Cont\u2019d on page 3 Rendez-vous Howard travelling back in time K .4 PERRY BEATON Lisanne Gagnon, Sherbrooke city councillor Chantal L'Esperance, Anne Dansereau and Paulin Lacroix are some of the people performing at the Rendezvous Howard in early September By Matthew McCully The event schedule for the 15th edition of Rendez-vous Howard was announced yesterday during a press conference, citing 230 different artists and artisans that will participate in this year\u2019s nod to the historic Sherbrooke site.Throughout the weekend of Sept.9, 10 and 11, all corners of Domaine Howard from the Blue House to the gardens, all located on Portland Boulevard, will be buzzing with music and family friendly activities.The history of Sherbrooke will be the focal point for the weekend, touching on many different periods, from workshops by Abenaki Chief Yvon Mercier, to a traditional English tea service, and of Cont\u2019d on page 4 JlUIÏtztoy ùj August 18 to 21, 2016 ID PROTECTED BY reader I3ÏIÜÆ Page 2 Thur s day, August 18, 2016 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record The Record e-edition There for you 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week.Wherever you are.Access the full edition of the Sherbrooke Record as well as special editions and 30 days of archives.Renew or order a new 12-month print subscription and get a 12-month online subscription for an additional $5 or purchase the online edition only for $82.21.Record subscription rates (includes Quebec taxes) 1 year print: $155.91 6 month print: $81.85 3 month print: $41.57 12 month web only: $82.21 1 month web only: $7.46 Web subscribers have access to the daily Record as well as archives and special editions.Subscribing is as easy as 1,2,3: 1.Visit the Record website: www.sherbrookerecord.com 2.Click e-edition.3.Complete the form and wait for an email activating your online subscription.Weather TODAY: CLOUDY HIGH OF 26 LOW OF 11 FRIDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF 27 LOW OF 14 SATURDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS HIGH OF 28 LOW OF 17 SUNDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH OF 29 LOW OF 16 MONDAY: CLOUDY HIGH OF 23 LOW OF 10 i -i .y l a j i a ; The serve not taken Ross Murray \"The Russians are not going gentle into that good night.\u201d - Olympic broadcaster calling a Women\u2019s Beach Volleyball game between Russia and Brazil Welcome back to Rio and the semi-final match of Famous Poets\u2019 Beach Volleyball.Coming up: the U.S.team of Robert Frost and Sylvia Plath versus T.S.Eliot and Dylan Thomas of Great Britain, what is sure to be an afternoon of all-around athleticism, artistry and alliteration.We can see Frost and Plath warming up with some stretching and writing exercises, although Frost will likely have some mobility issues in all that tweed.Plath, meanwhile, rebuking the patriarchy while simultaneously helpless to embrace it, is wearing a sports bikini.And she\u2019s not looking too happy.For Great Britain, Dylan Thomas is regaling the crowd with customary jocularity.I don\u2019t think that\u2019s Gatorade in his water bottle, folks.And team captain Eliot is looking positively disillusioned with modern man\u2019s lack of spirituality in the face of technology but also surprisingly buff.The referee gives the signal to begin.But both teams appear to be just standing there, some kind of delay or confu- sion.Robert Frost is calmly approaching the referee.And now he\u2019s asking, \u201cWhose serve this is I do not know.\u201d The referee indicates that it is Great Britain to start, and we begin! There\u2019s a strong serve by T.S.Eliot, who, as we know, trained with Team USA before switching sides.It\u2019s met by Plath who pops it up despondently to Frost.Frost sets it.A beautiful kill shot by Plath! Straight at Dylan Thomas who is caught napping.Literally caught napping.Eliot is now attempting to shake awake his partner, who is looking like a patient etherized upon a table, except in this case, sand.Unperturbed by the prostrate poet, Plath serves.But it fails to clear the net! And now Plath, despairing, is also lying down.She\u2019s muttering something to herself.I can just hear it: \u201cI took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart.I am.I am.I am.\u201d A technique she learned while playing for the Cambridge Spike Mistresses, no doubt, but of little use here under these elite Olympic conditions.Eliot has managed to get Thomas on his feet, telling him it\u2019s Britain\u2019s turn.Eliot\u2019s saying, \u201cLet us go then, you and I.And pound their pudding.\u201d Dylan Thomas is now looking around for Ezra Pound, shouting something about him owing him a pint.Eliot clarifies, turns Thomas toward the net.Thomas has the ball.Players are set, although Frost appears to be sketching something in the sand with his toes, two diverging roads, it would appear.Plath continues to weep silently.It looks like Thomas is going to serve.But wait, no, he\u2019s speaking.Let\u2019s listen in: Not for the proud man apart From the raging moon I play volleyball On these spindrift beaches Nor for the towering dead With their nightingales and psalms But for the sponsorship deals.Obviously.And there\u2019s a blistering serve from Thomas, taking U.S.by surprise, and Thomas too, it would seem.He's down again.How frail the human heart must be -a mirrored pool of thought, and yet Sylvia Plath comes up with a huge dig! Over to Frost, who relays it back to Plath.She sends it over.There\u2019s a block by Eliot! A clear case of writer\u2019s block! 2-1 Great Britain as Eliot prepares to serve.Wait.Is he.?Does T.S.Eliot dare to eat a peach?Mid-serve?He does! Astounding! I would think he should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas, but a peach! In these sandy conditions! Now he\u2019s finished the peach.A glance into the stands, where the women come and go speaking of discount stores in Rio.And there\u2019s the serve.Oh! It\u2019s hit Robert Frost square in the face! Frost is down.The poet\u2019s first outcry is a rueful laugh.There\u2019s definitely blood.Plath has picked up the ball.And now she\u2019s throwing it at her own face! And that\u2019s it.Amid boos from the crowd, the referee is calling the game.With the players still on the field, the crew is turning off the spotlights.A besotted Dylan Thomas is fiirious.Just listen to him rage, rage against the dying of the light! I haven\u2019t seen anything like this since the Abstract-Expressionists\u2019 Synchronized Diving Championships of 2002! That\u2019s it.It\u2019s all over.T.S Eliot is the last off the field, hobbling away morosely.This is the way the match ends, not with a game but a limper.Hotel Wellington showing cracks Record Staff Sherbrooke A security perimeter has been erected around the iconic Hotel Wellington in downtown Sherbrooke following a citizen\u2019s report of cracks on the building\u2019s front columns that is threatening the building with collapse.The issue is now in the hands of the City of Sherbrooke Inspection and Urban Planning Department, which states that even though they installed a temporary security perimeter Tuesday, firefighters cannot rule out the dangerousness of the situation.When Informed of the situation, the owner of the hotel, which was built in 1928, said he has contacted a contractor to renovate the facade.CORRECTION In the August 17 article, Create Your Taste and touchscreen kiosks aim to elevate the MacD\u2019s experience, The Record spelled the well-known brand name MacDonald's.The proper spelling is McDonald's.Ben by Daniel Shelton O Û 3 o o PURCHASE FINANCING UP TO «-?PURCHASE FINANCING FOR UP TO 84 MONTHS ON MOST MODELS -PLUS UP TO- \u2014 IN TOTAL DISCOUNTS ON SELECT MODELS SUMMER CLEANOUT SALES EVENT- STARTING FROM: ANY MAKE, ANY MODEL LEASE PULL AHEAD CASH 0500 IN A CURRENT LEASE?GET $1,500 PULL-AHEAD CASH ON SELECT M00E15.2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SE PURCHASE FINANCING STARTING FROM: *122 @ 3 49 %* FOR 96 MONTHS AND $0 DOWN FREIGHT AND A/C CHARGES INCLUDED.-ORCHOOSE \u2014 STARTING FROM: *21,995 PRICE INCLUDES $7,100* CONSUMER CASH DISCOUNT, FREIGHT AND A/C CHARGES.Starting From Price for 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT Premium Plus shown, including $7,000* in Consumer Cash Discount and $1,500* in Bonus Cash: $31,585** ON MOST MODELS (EXCLUDING SE MODELS) MONTHS AND $0 DOWN STEP UP TO THE 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT WITH MAX PACKAGE AND GET UP TO *10,350 IN TOTAL DISCOUNTS Starting From Price for 2016 Dodge Journey Crossroad 4X2 shown, including $1,000* in Consumer Cash Discount and $1,500* in Bonus Cash: $32,690** 2016 DODGE JOURNEY SE CANADA'S FAVOURITE CROSSOVER PURCHASE FINANCING STARTING FROM: *115 @ 1 99 FREIGHT AND A/C CHARGES INCLUDED.-OR CHOOSE- %* FOR 96 MONTHS AND $0 DOWN STARTING FROM: $21»995 ?0 PRICE INCLUDES $500* CONSUMER CASH DISCOUNT, I FREIGHT ANDA/C CHARGES.PURCHASE FINANCING STARTING FROM: °/o UP TO 84 MONTHS AND $0 DOWN GET UP TO $3,250\" IN TOTAL DISCOUNTS Ml*l* Starting From Price for 2016 Chrysler 200S shown, including $750* in Bonus Cash: $32,140** 2016 CHRYSLER 200 LX STARTING FROM: *22,995 PRICE INCLUDES $2,500* CONSUMER CASH DISCOUNT, $750* BONUS CASH, FREIGHT AND A/C CHARGES.OR CHOOSE PURCHASE FINANCING STARTING FROM: *127 @ 3 49 °/o- F0R 96 MONTHS AND $0 DOWN FREIGHT AND A/C CHARGES INCLUDED.-D Uœ U .i X) -JÎÎ- ° .O -12 : 4.S- ^ L°, 5 -T s E 1 o S3 i- p CD 2 +-¦ cl ex c n re \u2018 = CT) U o 2 '% S m o ?.iS §l -_U)LX °\t2 f < O t \"**7 0 0 2 o ¦.REBUILDING YOUR CREDIT?SUBPRIME RATES FROM ONLY 4.99% 0ACn chrysler.ca/offers \u2022 dodge.ca/offers pressljl'MJJ Printed and distributed by PressReader Pres^R e a d er \u2022 jjo\t0 4^27 8 4604 COPYRIGHT AMD PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW "]
