Townships Gary_Furlong praises Townships spirit Popular CLSC boss heads for Montreal By Dwane Wilkin RICHMOND \u2014 Gary Furlong will leave his position as director general of the Val- St-François CLSC early in the new year but will take with him fond memories of his work in the Eastern Townships.The 44-year-old administrator, who assumes his new post at a CLSC in Montreal on January 8, earned the deep respect of the community in his six-year sojourn.\u201cI'm very sad to see him go,\u201d said Albert Dunn, a member of the CLSC\u2019s board of directors.\u201cAll of Richmond is sad to see him go.I think he was the best director the CLSC ever had.\u201d Furlong took some time Thursday to reflect on the changes that the health sector is undergoing, and said he remains optimistic about the kinds and quality of services people can expect in the future, despite much-publicized downsizing.\u201cThe problem with all the cutbacks is that new people on the job market in the health sector are going to be shut out,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd that\u2019s a tragedy.But I don\u2019t see any way around it.I really wish there was another way, but I don\u2019t see it.\u201d \u201cWhat we need to tell people is that changes are being made, but that the quality of health care is not changing.In many cases it is improving.\u201d Furlong recently helped negotiate a new protocol for home-care delivery throughout the Estrie region.He observes that the transformation from hospital-oriented health care to community-based services is being carried out more smoothly in the Townships than elsewhere in the province.Provincial cuts to hospital funding were carried out in Montreal, for instance, without the support of the institutions that was witnessed in the Sherbrooke region.\u201cI

done in a planned way, with a study and public consultation.And in the end it was voluntary.The hospital administrators themselves supported the plan.\u201cThat's a lot different than having to take the government to court.\u201d With a degree in political science from Carleton University, Furlong, a native of Rouyn-Noranda, got his start in the health sector during the late 1970s when he took a job as hospital paymaster in the James Bay Cree community of Chisasibi.Before long he found himself in charge of personnel \u2014 \u201cpromotions come quickly in the North,\u201d he quips \u2014 and was later appointed director general of a CLSC in Montreal\u2019s Point St.Charles district before moving to Richmond in 1990.Although he said he has enjoyed every minute of his stay in the Townships, Furlong admits to being more of a city person at heart.Fortunately, he said, his departure leaves him with a sense of deep satisfaction, coming as it does after much of the groundwork for an enriched home-care program is now complete.Just last week, all eight CLSCs in the Estrie region signed an agreement with the university medical centre in Fleurimont spelling out just exactly how the future delivery RECORD: DV/ANE WILKIN 4\u2014The RECORD\u2014Friday, December !, 1995 of home-care will be coordinated.Forty positions for nurses and other home-care workers will be posted at the Centre universitaire de santé de l'Estrie begining next week.Furlong said his own CLSC, which serves 32,000 people in 21 municipalities, will soon be able to offer home care 15 hours a day, seven days a week.\u201cWhat we're doing is building an infrastructure of health care that will permit people to stay at home where we will provide them with care.We're headed for that now.\u201d The new protocol defines the division of responsibilities between hospital staff and the CLSCs, sets out the criteria for admission to the home-care program, and establishes a time-frame for contacting eligible patients.Its target clientele Gary Furlong.leaving Richmond for a job in Montreal.include patients recovering from day-surgery, outpatient clients, people requiring physiotherapy or palliative care \u2014 in short, just about anyone who can be safely discharged from hospital but who may require follow-up attention.As for English-language services, Furlong encouraged groups like the Townshippers Association to continue to be vigilant as health-care restructuring unfolds.But after six years of working in the region, he said he\u2019s confident that the Estrie health board is serious about its responsibility to ensure English Townshippers receive these services in their mother tongue.\u201cThere\u2019s virtually no extra cost in requiring certain positions to be bilingual.\u201d 10% of all

Mahtani SHERBROOKE \u2014 It\u2019s been just 11 days since the new Monsieur Felix & Mr.Norton Cookies franchise at the Carrefour de l\u2019Estrie opened and public response has made it the top Quebec franchise in the chain during an opening week.Sherbrooke franchise owner Leslie Brandt said 16,000 cookies have been sold since the cookie shop opened on November 21.That translates to 800 pounds of cookie dough \u2014 and Brandt has already received another shipment from the head office in Montreal.Having the best opening week in the province is some feat: the Felix & Norton chain features 19 shops in Montreal and its suburbs, five in the Quebec City area and one in Victoriaville.Brandt said the only Felix & Norton that had a bigger opening week was on Montreal\u2019s St.Catherine St.But that shop, one of the cornerstones of the business, is not a franchise.The Georgeville resident, who officially celebrated the opening of his franchise Wednesday, is ecstatic at the public support.\u201cSherbrooke is a great market for upper-class products, gourmet products,\u201d he said in between serving salivating cookie lovers who lined up at his counter.\u201cThe economy is relatively good here.The city is cosmopolitan, they travel a lot, they have more disposible income.\u201d Brandt, whose family once owned La Brisé disco and the former Auberge Cabana in Magog, said a desire to own his own business compelled him to leave his job as a sales representative for an electronics firm in Montreal and move back to the Townships.\u201cAs a franchise, Felix & Norton seemed to have the most potential,\u201d he said.\u201cThe name recognition, and it\u2019s an item that is relatively inexpensive.You can spend anywhere from 50 cents to $50, so it hits all income

a Felix & Norton franchise costs approximately $150-165,000.What sets the epicurean cookie chain apart is an inventive selection of products unavailable at the local supermarket: cookies features milk, white and dark chocolate, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cara- mel and fruits in various mélanges, and a wide selection of gift ideas from a coukie bouquet to a \u201cMagnummm\u201d \u2014

Renberg\u2019s goal with 63 seconds remaining in the third period extended Philadelphia\u2019s winning streak to seven games as the Flyers defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 Thursday night.Eric Lindros picked off a bad clearing pass by Benoit Hogue near the blue-line, faked a slap- shot and dropped a pass to Ren- berg, whose slapshot beat Damian Rhodes for his 15th goal of the season.Brent Fedyk lifted the Flyers into a 2-2 tie at 4:34 of the third.Eric Desjardins\u2019s hard wrist shot was redirected by Fedyk for his seventh goal of the season and second in as many nights.Rod Brind\u2019Amour also scored for Philadelphia, which is unbeaten in its last eight.The Flyers took over first place in the Atlantic Division over idle Florida by one point (36-35).Dave Andreychuk and Mike Craig replied for Toronto, which is winless in its last four (0-3-1).Blues 4 Jets 1 WINNIPEG (CP) \u2014 The St.Louis Blues scored four goals in the third period to defeat the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 in NHL action at the Arena.Brett Hull, with two, Roman Vopat, and Geoff Courtnall scored for St.Louis, who won their second game in as many nights after a five-game winless skid.Dale Hawerchuk assisted on three of the goals.Eddie Olczyk scored for Winnipeg, which dropped to 12-10-2, after riding a three- game winning string.The Blues, struggling at the bottom of the Central Division, improved to 10-12-3.The Jets, without star defen- ceman Teppo Numminen who separated his right shoulder in Tuesday\u2019s game against Toronto, lost goaltender Niklolai Khabibulin at 3:08 of the first.Khabibulin injured his knee while making a save and was replaced by Tim Cheveldae.Khabibulin\u2019s condition was to be assessed by team doctors following the game.Winnipeg scored on the power play at 8:54 of the first period.Dave Manson teed up a shot from the point that Blues goaltender Grant Fuhr bobbled off his blocker.Olczyk tapped in the puck from mid-air.The Blues thought they had tied the score midway through the second period when the pucked dribbled between Che- veldae\u2019s legs.But referee Dan Marouelli ruled there was no goal because the whistle had already gone.Islanders 5 Senators 3 OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Four games into his NHL coaching career with the Ottawa Senators, Dave Allison has retreated to the safety of fatalism.\u201cIf this is the worst thing that\u2019s going to happen in our lives, we're kidding ourselves,\u201d Allison said after his team lost 5-3 to the New York Islanders on Thursday night.The defeat left Ottawa, 6-16-1, tied with the Islanders for second last overall in the NHL, winless in 12 games and winless under Allison\u2019s four- game tenure since Rick Bowness was fired.\u201cYou find the measure of a man when things are going badly,\u201d said Allison.Thursday\u2019s contest required a micrometer.Wendel Clark, Derek King, Bob Sweeney and Todd Bertuz- zi staked the the Islanders, 5-15-3, to a 4-0 lead through 40 minutes before the Senators scored three goals in the third period to add a veneer of competitive interest.But Clark, the subject of heated trade rumors, finished matters with a rink-length shot into an empty Ottawa net with 69 seconds remaining in the game.\u201cEven though we had to hang on there at the end, it was good to get the two points,\u201d said Islanders coach Mike Millbury.\u201cI think (goalie) Jamie McLennan would like to have another crack at both of those first two (Ottawa) goals.You expect a goaltender to make those saves.\u201d Ottawa captain Randy Cun- neyworth scored twice in a row on bad-angle shots.ETIAC HOCKEY LEAGUE STANDINGS Team P W L T GF GA PTS.1.Galt 2 2 0 0O 20 3 4 2.B.C.S.2 2 0 0 9 3 4 3.Massey Vanier 2 1 1 0 9 5 2 5.Stanstead 4 0 4 0 6 33 0 Scoreboard

Ralph TORONTO (CP) \u2014 The CFL was whistling Dixie last year when it expanded into Memphis and Birmingham.It\u2019s whistling a different tune now.The league announced Thursday the Memphis Mad Dogs have folded after losing $4 million US in their 10-month existence.With the NFL\u2019s Houston Oilers looking to play at Memphis\u2019s Liberty Bowl for two years before moving into a new stadium in Nashville, Tenn., in 1998, the outlook for a CFL team in the area was hardly rosy.Birmingham owner Art Williams, after losing $10 million this year, is negotiating with four cities, including Montreal, to sell the Barracudas.If Williams can\u2019t reach a deal, he'll fold the franchise.That would leave the CFL with 11 teams for 1996.Maybe.The Grey Cup-champion Baltimore Stallions are looking for a new home thanks to the Cleveland Browns, the Shreveport Pirates are skipping town to a stadium that can\u2019t house a regulation field, and San Antonio\u2019s situation is muddier than most people think.At least the Ottawa Rough Riders are in for \u201996, league chairman John Tory said.\u201cWe have 11 teams committed to be with us for 1996,\u201d Tory said at a news conference on the second day of the CFL board of governors three-day meeting.\u201cThe only uncertainty is with Baltimore.\u201d However, when pressed, Tory couldn't guarantee the remaining American clubs would play next season.CFL commissioner Larry Smith said the Memphis and Birmingham franchises could return next year under new with marquee status will be grandfathered.© The league office will cut its staff by 25 per cent and reduce its expenses by 20 per cent.© CFL clubs will cut up to 25 per cent from their non-player expenses.As well, there will no be major rule or league name changes and Tory pointed out ownership, but was hardly optimistic.\u201cThey could, but as of today they're not playing,\u201d Smith said.\u201cI'd rather start from the low end and go to the top.\u201d Smith wants to know what teams are in when governors meet in January so a schedule could be released by month's end.If new owners can\u2019t be found for either Memphis or Birmingham by then, the league will hold a dispersal draft.The CFL will be leaner in areas other than its membership.For example: @® The salary cap was reduced $200,000 to $2.3 million.All player salaries will go against the cap as the marquee designation was eliminated.The contracts of players currently the board gave Smith a rousing vote of confidence.But the league doesn\u2019t have that same confidence about just where its marauding franchises will end up.However, Baltimore owner Jim Speros said his team will operate next season.\u201cI have the Grey Cup, I have the best team in the CFL,\u201d Spe- ros said.\u201cIf I can\u2019t put it some place in the United States in a very short period of time, then you have the wrong man at the helm.\u201d San Antonio launches its season-ticket drive soon, and owner Fred Anderson saying he needs a minimum of 12,000 sold to ensure he can operate.Anything less and he might have to reconsider.Baseball owners reintroduce rejected payroll tax proposal NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The latest proposal from baseball owners calls for a 25 per cent tax on payrolls above $44 million and is designed to push player salaries down to 50 per cent of revenue.The threshold would remain at $44 million until revenue rises to $2.2 billion, the New York Times reports today in a story from the union's board meeting in Aventura, Fla.A chart accompanying the proposal estimated 1995 revenue would have been $1.556 billion for a full season.If revenue rises above $2.2 Siddall leaves Expos for Florida Marlins MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Catcher Joe Siddall, of Windsor, Ont., who has been in the Montreal Expos organization for eight years, has agreed to a Class AAA contract with the Florida Marlins.The contract will pay Siddall, 28, $8,000 per month, double what he says the Expos offered.Siddall had 30 big-league at-bats while in the Montreal organization.He spent the 1995 season with the Ottawa Lynx, Montreal's Class AAA affiliate, where he had a 214 batting average.Siddall said he felt his days in the Expos\u2019 system were over when the club failed to recall him last August, after third-string catcher Tim Spehr had season-ending surgery for testicular cancer.\u201cI stayed down in Ottawa, even though everyone knows that (Expos manager) Felipe Alou likes to go with three catchers, explained Siddall, who was an Alou favorite because of his defence and ability to handle pitching.\u201cIt was just time to move on.\u201d REIS NR EERE LL AL RE 2 billion, the threshold the following year would rise by two per cent of the amount above $2.2 billion.A $200 million increase in revenue would raise the threshold by $4 million.The tax rate would be from 25 per cent to 50 per cent, but would disappear entirely if salaries dropped below 50 per cent of revenue.Owners estimated about 65 per cent of revenue went to salaries this season.In the teams\u2019 proposal, salaries include items not currently included such items as pensions, health insurance and moving expenses.Teams said in their proposal that five teams would have had to pay a tax in 1995 if this proposal had been in effect.The sides are operating under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement that expired Dec.31, 1993.A federal court injunction prevents owners from altering those terms until there is an agreement or a court-sanctioned impasse in bargaining.any - LENNOXVILLE (RM) \u2014 Playing against Laval University on Sunday isn\u2019t the only thing bothering Bishop\u2019s basketball coaches.Both men\u2019s coach Eddie Pomykala and women\u2019s coach Rod Gilpin expressed concern Thursday about Sunday\u2019s games being too close to exams.\u201cThis is a tough week,\u201d Pomykala said.\u201cI don\u2019t agree with this game whatsoever.\u201d \u201cI have very strong feelings about playing basketball two days before the kids start writing exams,\u201d he added.Gilpin said his players are justifiably more concerned about upcoming exams than facing the Rouge et Or women\u2019s team.\u201cThis is getting pretty close to exam time and there are alot of academic stresses right now,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s kind of unfortunate that we have to play this late.\u201d Both coaches said the circumstances were beyond their control and that the Laval students would be in the same situation.Pomykala said he is expecting a tough challenge from the Laval men\u2019s team that is rebuilding under new head coach Mike MacAdam.NEW ATTITUDE \u201cWe're playing a team that has a new coach, a new attitude on things and they're very athletic,\u201d he Gaiter coaches worried about pre-exam games said.\u201cWe have to be ready for anything.\u201d Pomykala said he would like his team to have a 2-1 record when they break for the holidays, but more importantly he would like to see his team\u2019s offence improve.\u201cWe were scoring 90-plus points in the Maritimes (during the preseason), but we got 65 against McGill and 58 against Concordia,\u201d he said.\u201cOur defence is great, but our offence has to improve.\u201d Gilpin is also looking for some improvement from his Gaiters.The women\u2019s team has started 0-2 and has been inconsistent at times.\u201cWe have to do a better job getting the ball inside and running the ball,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd we're going to have to stop their inside play and make sure we have good defensive transition.\u201d Both Laval teams are 0-2 heading into Sunday's games.The women were ranked No.6 in preseason polls, but lost a close game to Concordia and were blown out by McGill.\u201clI don\u2019t know what to expect.I saw their game against McGill and they didn\u2019t look good,\u201d Gilpin said.\u201cI expect they'll look a lot better.\u201d The women's game is scheduled for 1 p.m.and the men will follow at 3 p.m.at Laval University.Giants top Cardinals in battle of defences TEMPE, Ariz.(AP) \u2014 Dull, boring .for a while.The New York Giants beat the Arizona Cardinals, another team going nowhere with a coach who may not be back, 10-6 Thursday night, by making Dave Brown's third- quarter touchdown pass to Mike Sherrard stand up.The Cardinals made it thrilling at the end, driving from their own 10-yard line to the New York eight in the final 1:50 before Dave Krieg misfired on four successive passes.Vencie Glenn of the Giants figured in the two plays that turned back Arizona drives in the fourth quarter.intercepting Cardinals rookie Stone) Case on the Giants\u2019 five with 6:39 to play.and helping break up Krieg's final pass - \u2014 aimed at big Wendall Gaines in the end zone with 14 seconds remaining.But, like almost everything else the Cardinals did, the pass was off the mark, a bit too high for Gaines to pull down.The Giants (4-9) never led until Brown capped an 83-yard drive with his 12-yard throw to Sherrard 4:48 into the second half.MASSAWIPPI DART LEAGUE STANDINGS ANAF.16 DOUBLE DEUCE 0 DRIFTERS 10 G.4 Results as of November 24.I LEN PUB 15 REJECTS 10 SAWYERVILLE 9 SURVIVORS 4 Sports 22\u2014The RECORD\u2014Friday, December 1, 1995 Bishop\u2019s pilot project takes grassroots approach Athletes serve as role models fc for students By Robert Matheson SHERBROOKE \u2014 It's only a pilot project, but Athletes Helping Kids already appears to be a success.The project, which began this year at Bishop\u2019s University, is modeled on the Athletes Helping Athletes program in Hamilton, Ont.with a different twist.The Hamilton program takes professional athletes into local schools to talk to students about making choices and setting goals.The Bishop\u2019s project involves varsity athletes in similar roles, but with a more grassroots approach.\u201cI think it\u2019s a fantastic program.I think it gives kids someone to look up to that\u2019s not a pro athlete,\u201d said Kris Ruiter, one of the group's speakers.\u201c- Some people look at pro athletes and say \u2018they can do anything\u2019.If they get the message from a student athlete it\u2019s more down-to-earth and more been able to find other varsity along the lines of what they might accomplish.\u201d Ruiter, a member of the Bishop\u2019s men\u2019s basketball team, spoke to students at Lennoxvil- le and Sherbrooke elementary schools this week.He told them how he was cut by coach Eddie Pomykala following training camp a year ago, but instead of giving up he continued to work towards his goal of making the team.NEED CONFIDENCE \u201cIf you have confidence in what you do and you practice hard enough you can accomplish your goals,\u201d Ruiter told the attentive students.By the beginning of the regular season, Ruiter had been asked to join the team and was among the Gaiters leading scorers last year.Pomykala, co-ordinator of the Athletes Helping Kids project, knew that Ruiter would be a natural for the program iiecause of his story.He has athletes with similar messages to convey.\u201cWe think we can make an impact in our own community,\u201d Pomykala said.\u201cWe want to talk to kids about setting goals, making choices, making intelligent decisions and dreaming dreams by using our athletes to tell their own stories and how they've acheived certain things.\u201d The program was welcomed by physical education teachers at both the Sherbrooke and Lennoxville elementary schools.\u201cI think it\u2019s a super program,\u201d said Lennoxville Phys.Ed

programs for a big loss this week in its sweeping round of budget cuts.The slashing in the province\u2019s mini-budget Wednesday included a $400-million hit to universities \u2014 and that\u2019s especially bad news for sports programs, which must compete with schools from across the country to attract top athletes.As football scouts from Ontario Universities Athletic Association head out to to recruit highschool players in the coming months, some fear the cuts will make Ontario schools the have-nots of Canadian university football.\u201cIt\u2019s not a level playing field for OUAA

Tyrell shared her story with students at Sherbrooke Elementary School on Wednesday.She told them that she wasn\u2019t getting enough positive support from her rugby club team, so she switched

\u2018I think I can, I think I can, I think I can\u2019, it really does work.\u201d Tyrell, a member of the Ontario women\u2019s team, told students it was important to set realistic goals for

in school and to enjoy all the good things come with it, to choose a healthy lifestyle and to make decisions by setting goals.\u201d Pomykala said the program will continue in the new year with more visits to Lennoxville Elementary and Alexander Galt with other speakers.He said he would like to see the program expand in the future with visits to other schools in the Eastern Townships and possibly

Nomades, women meet Trois Riviéres Cougar basketball teams face challenges By Robert Matheson LENNOXVILLE \u2014 The Champlain basketball teams will play a rare doubleheader tonight and both squads have daunting tasks ahead of them.The 2-2 men\u2019s team host the Montmorency Nomades in the 8:30 game.The Nomades (2-1) are the fourth-ranked team among Canadian colleges and have one player who is headed to a U.S.Division I school on a basketball scholarship next year.\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a battle confidence-wise to see if we can play with the top teams,\u201d men\u2019s coach Don Caldwell suggested.\u201cWe played one \u2014 John Abbott \u2014 last week and had an awful struggle.But I think we realized that even though we played poorly, we were in a four-point game with five minutes to go.So maybe we learned something from that.\u201d Caldwell is expecting a different kind of game from the one last week, because Montmorency is far more athletic than John Abbott.He said the Cougars will be able to adjust to the style of play.\u201cWe like to play a half-court game (like John Abbott), but I think we feel more comfortable \u2014 even though we shouldn\u2019t be \u2014 when it gets into an open- court running game.\u201d Caldwell said the key to the game will be Champlain\u2019s ability to rebound against the taller Nomades.He said if the Cougars give up too many second and third chances it will be a tough game.Friday, December 1 « 6:30 p.m.: Basketball: Trois Riviéres at Champlain, Women's CEGEP AA.8 p.m.: Hockey.Moncton Alpines vs.Sherbrooke Faucons at

Christmas.I'd be very satisfied with that, which means we have to win one of these two games,\u201d he said.Meanwhile, Tristan Kim- merly has higher hopes for Champlain's women\u2019s team.He would like the Cougars to be 5-0 at the Christmas break.The Champlain women host Trois-Rivières (2-1) in the 6:30 game in Eastern Townships AA league.Kimmerly is treating it like a battle for first place.\u201cI always felt like Trois- Rivières was the team to beat this year,\u201d he said.\u201cIf we get through this game, I think we can beat Sorel and be 5-0.\u201d Kimmerly said he\u2019s
