www jesuismichele.com.On the site, one can find testimonials, links to social networking campaigns, and a space to write a direct message to Pierre Duchesne, Minister responsible for post-secondary education, research, and science and technology.The research staff on site for the conference were very vocal about the disconnect between the statements Pauline Marois\u2019 government has been making highlighting the importance of research, and the action they are taking through these cuts.\u201cWe ask minister Pierre Duschene to respect the promises of his government,\u201d Rola-Pleszczynski said firmly, \u201cyou cannot say one thing and do another.\u201d The cuts, announced on Dec.6 of last year, represent a 13 per cent reduction in the FRQS budget.Quebec\u2019s health research centres have said that the government has yet to indicate how or where it is planning to execute the cuts, but suggest that they will come in one or a combination of three elements.The first is an 85 per cent reduction in training scholarships granted to top-level students pursuing Masters\u2019, PhD and postdoctoral studies.The second would be a 50 per cent reduction in career fellowships provided to support established researchers.The third would be a 30 per cent reduction in the budget allocated by the FRQS to the various research centres across the province.Rola-Pleszczynski said the cuts will amount to $500,000 at the CHUS.He emphasized that this action will effect thousands of patients, students and doctors across the province, as cutbacks compromise ongoing research programs in Quebec\u2019s public healthcare facilities by forcing the closure of laboratories and jeopardizing Quebeckers\u2019 access to cutting edge medical treatments.Dr.André Carpentier, Director of the CHUS\u2019 research division on diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular complications said that the situation makes him feel, \u201clike I'm on an airplane which, without warning, made a 180 degree turn mid-flight.I'm afraid that the engine\u2019s on fire.\u201d Carpentier referred to the cuts as severe and stated plainly that they risk causing irreparable damage.\u201cA research lab is a very particular ecosystem,\u201d he said, \u201cand every laboratory is unique.What needs to be understood is that what is taking place in my lab right now is not reproducible.If the lab is closed tomorrow morning, that ecosystem will cease to exist.\u201d Medical research is fragile, and needs constant maintenance, said Carpentier, \u201cwe cannot suspend research for a certain amount of time.and think that we.can just pick back up where we were two or three years later.\u201d Carpentier was very frank, saying that the government needs a \u201cwake up call\u201d when it comes to research, and that cutting budgets to research now runs the risk of losing research that is not being done anywhere else in the world.Alan Cohen a researcher at the CHUS who was present in the audience of the conference lent Ng sm FC AR RU CR UE Un héritage à partager Co with three publications @- LEAVE A LEGACY ™ www.legacy-quebec.org 1 888 304-8834 SS Sa, \"ay, JF TSRES ex, YF Tir ie 1 RL gy llgtar à: HEH : I: vay D 2e dl Bt iad Bed TE BL ST i lu batir 1 = ay To SETI Wing ~~ RU WEE TTT a.a as x ae \"ANRT ;

Record E DITORIA re The meeting between Marois and Salmond lasted forty-five minutes during which the Quebec Premier says they \u201c.had the possibility to discuss may issues which are very interesting.for each government.\u201d The \u2018auld alliance\u2019 TiM BELFORD over the meeting between Pauline Marois and Alex Salmond the Scottish First Minister and head of Caledonia\u2019s separatist party.There is a danger, however, of reading too much into the apparent aloofness of Mr.Salmond.The simple reason he didn\u2019t meet Premier Marois at the airport was that his car was in the shop and you know how garages are.I know, I know, he didn\u2019t meet her at the door when she arrived at the Scottish parliament buildings either but he\u2019d just put some bread in the toaster and he was afraid it would burn.Cut the man some slack.Anyway, Madame .Marois says the meeting went well, even though it was sandwiched between Mr.Salmond\u2019s meeting with representatives from the Independence Party of Schleswig-Hol- stein and a luncheon date with the head of the Patagonian Separatist League.She also insisted she was happy to provide the Scottish National Party (SNP) with the Parti Quebecois\u2019 notes on how to run a referendum.\u201cThat is data we would be very happy to share with Scotland and we can talk about it with Mr.Salmond as well,\u201d she told the local Herald newspaper.Unfortunately, Mr.Salmond, through an oversight I'm sure, didn\u2019t ask for the documents in question.Te the media is making a big fuss The meeting between Marois and Salmond lasted forty-five minutes during which the Quebec Premier says they \u201c.had the possibility to discuss may issues which are very interesting.for each government.\u201d Now, you are probably wondering hew two politicians of any political stripe could fit in one issue of mutual concern within forty-five'minutes let alone the \u201cmany\u201d Madame Marois mentioned.One thing they were very unlikely to have discussed is the upcoming Scottish referendum scheduled to be held in the fall of 2014.Coming off losing ballots in 1980 and 1995, the Parti Quebecois is not exactly viewed as a model by the Scots.The difference in approach is evident in the question that Mr.Salmond\u2019s SNP intends on asking voters next year: \u201cDo you agree that Scotland should be an independent country.\u201d Period.Ten words and a simple yes or no will do.Contrast that with our own 1995 question and ten words gets you as far as, \u201cDo you accept that Quebec should become sovereign, after having.\u201d Twenty-eight words later we had the entire question and would understand it completely only if we were familiar with \u201c.the agreement signed on June 12,1995.\u201d Back home the leader of the Coaliton Avenir Quebec, Francois Legault, criticized premier Marois for wasting time and money stopping off in Scotland to talk separatist strategy with the Scots.According to Legault, Marois would be better off spending more time drumming up investment and business for the province not gallivanting around Europe.But in her defence, it should be pointed out that\u2019s exactly what the premier had been doing.She was in Davos, Switzerland, attending to the very type of business Legault was talking about.And Switzerland is so close to Scotland anyway, why not just drop in?Once again, just because Mr.Salmond refused to attend the post-meeting press conference and would not pose for photographs with Madame Marois doesn\u2019t mean things didn\u2019t go swimmingly.In actual fact, the head of the Scottish government is, like most politicians, notoriously shy and was also having a bad hair day.It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that British Prime Minister David Cameron, who opposes Scottish separatism, has repeatedly used Quebec\u2019s \u2018neverendum\u2019 as a stick to beat the SNP with.No, despite Mr.Legault and all the other naysayers, it was obvious to anyone, including the three journalist gathered in the basement corridor of the Edinburgh parliament buildings for the press conference, that Madame Marois\u2019 meeting with fellow separatist, Alex Salmond, had been everything she had hoped for.The \u2018auld alliance\u2019 remains unbroken.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\"\"wxw\u2014__ RECORD PO.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 516 or 1195 Galt E, Sherbrooke J1G 1Y7

Mali was entirely under the control of Islamist militants, whose forces were starting to advance into southern Mali as well.So France decided on very short notice to send troops and combat aircraft to its former colony in West Africa - and today every town in the north of Mali is under French control, while the surviving rebels have fled into the desert.But most of the militants have survived.After losing a couple of major clashes in the first days of the French drive northwards, the Islamist forces simply abandoned Gao, Timbuktu and Kidal, the main towns of the north, as soon as the French forces came near.The easy part of the intervention is now over.Now come three tasks that are considerably more difficult.The first is to deploy an African Union-backed military force, made up of units from armies elsewhere in West Africa, to take over from the French.You can\u2019t just hand the recaptured towns back to Mali\u2019s own army, which is so incompetent and rotted by politics that it would promptly lose them back to the militants.This force, dubbed the International Support Mission to Mali, has the unanimous blessing of the United Nations Security Council.International donors have pledged $455.53 million to pay for it.Mali\u2019s neighbours have already identified the units they are going to send.And once African troops replace the French, the next task is to rebuild the democratic government that was destroyed by a military coup last March.Mali\u2019s interim president, Dion- counda Traore, says that he wants to hold elections next July, but behind the scenes the young officers who made the coup still hold the real power.They will have to be sent back to their barracks before elections take place, and that will not be easy.The third task is to win the very different kind of war that starts in Mali now.Retaking occupied towns is easy.Now that the militants have scattered across the vast deserts of northern Mali, they will launch a different kind of war - a \u201cwar of the shadows,\u201d conducted by raids, bomb attacks and assassinations.Countries can survive for decades with that kind of low-intensity war going on in the background, but the only way to shrink it to a more manageable level is to make a political deal.This is not impossible in Mali, because the Islamist fanatics actually hijacked the revolution from their former allies, the Tuareg separatists.Most of the people in the north are.Tuaregs, who are ethnically, culturally and linguistically distinct from the black African majority in southern Mali.Many of them support the separatist movement that wants to create an independent Tuareg state in northern Mali, but few share the extreme religious views of the Islamist militants.The two groups made an alliance to drive the Malian army out of the north, but the Islamists then turned on their allies and seized absolute power for themselves.Their harsh rule was resented by most people, and so it should be possible to isolate the Islamists if the Malian government is willing to make a deal that gets the Tuareg separatists on its side.Was the French military intervention in Mali necessary?Yes, in the view of the United Nations, the African Union, and most Malians.Was it a success?That remains to be seen.Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Page 8 THURsDAY, JANUARY 31, 2013 - newsroom@shérbrookerecord.com | The Record The Border Report | years.\u201d \u201cI was very Tacky to be 38 years with with the people of the Three Villages.I never regretted a single day all these Big changes i in store for local churches Priests retiring, parishes merging, church closing By Matthew Farfan ig changes are in store for Catholics in the border area \u2014 and none more so than the Catholics in Rock Island.Last weekend, it was announced at the weekly masses at the Catholic churches in the Three Villages and Fitch Bay that the parishes of Notre-Dame-de- la-Merci (Rock Island), Sainte-Thérèse-de- l\u2019Enfant-Jésus (Beebe Plain) and Saint-Ephrem-de-Fitch Bay (Fitch Bay) would be abolished and attached to the parish of Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus (Stanstead Plain}, which itself would be renamed Sainte-Trinité-de-Stanstead parish.These changes, it was stated, will take effect on March 1, according to an official decree by Sherbrooke\u2019s new archbishop, Luc Cyr.Dated January 16, 2013, that decree was read by Father Alfred Thibault to the parishioners of his three parishes (Rock Island, Beebe and Fitch Bay), and by: Father Yvon Malouin to his flock (Stanstead Plain).Prefacing the decree last Sunday at Sainte-Thérese Church in Beebe, Father Thibault said that the decree was enacted \u201cin response to the desire of many people in the parishes to form a new parish.\u201d The priest said that things in Beebe (and presumably Fitch Bay) would remain \u201cfor as long as possible much as they are.\u201d The only difference would be at the administrative or parish level.The message to the parishioners of Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci last Saturday was considerably different, however, from the one conveyed by the two priests in the other local churches, and it was a sombre crowd of about 30 churchgoers who had to digest it.\u2018In a letter to the church wardens, accompanying his decree, Archbishop Cyr spoke of his \u201cprofound disappointment\u201d that during four years of discussions, the Rock Island parish had steadfastly refused to consider an amalgamation with the other parishes.\u201cThe parishioners in the other three parishes,\u201d the bishop chastised, \u201cwanted to work with you in the organization of a new parish.In the current context, considering the geographic proximity, and the decreasing numbers of both parishioners and priests, it seemed to us unreasonable to allow your parish to continue to function independently.Your attachment to your parish is admirable, but I firmly believe that you are now called upon to broaden your attachment and live in greater solidarity with your Christian neighbours to reflect together upon the future.\u201d The archbishop further stated that he was obliged to announce that, \u201cdespite your disagreement, from the date of March 1, your parish will be abolished and integrated into the future Sainte Trinité.Given your refusal to take part in this new organization, I am hereby informing you that church services [in Rock Island] will cease at the departure of Father Alfred Thibault.The wardens of the new parish will then decide what will happen to your building.\u201d As he greeted churchgoers on the way out of the Rock Island church last Saturday, Father Alfred Thibault seemed resigned to the closure, and to his imminent retirement.He thanked those MATTHEW FARFAN Father Alfred Thibault (\u201cPère Alfred\u201d), seen here at a christening in Beebe, will be taking his retirement, very likely in June.MATTHEW FARFAN Also retiring, Father Yvon Malouin of Sacré-Coeur Church in Stanstead says that he \u201cnever regretted a single day\u201d in Stanstead.in attendance for \u201cbeing a part of this Christian community.\u201d Up at Sacré-Coeur in Stanstead, Father Yvon Malouin told The Record that it was \u201cnever easy for a bishop to close a parish.Doing so, he said \u201cis always a source of division, contradiction, and even bitterness.\u201d As the archbishop alluded to in his letter, Rock Island's church wardens have long been opposed to a proposed amalgamation of the four parishes, preferring instead to remain independent.According to Malouin, \u201cthey were not opposed to the bishop, but to the process.\u201d According to Father Thibault, opposition by the wardens to the amalgamation \u201cdid not help things.\u201d He told The Record that \u201cno one is happy about this, but we knew one day it would happen.\u201d Rock Island church warden Richard Groleau did not hide his disappointment when he spoke to this newspaper.He referred to what he saw as a \u201clack of unity\u201d among the parishes.While it is true that Rock Island had wanted to go it alone, Groleau said, the archbishop had refused to consider it.Groleau also alluded to what he called a \u201clack of respect\u201d felt by Rock Island from the other parishes.And he said that closing the church would \u201copen the door to other religions.\u201d He pointed out, however, that \u201cit\u2019s the bishop who decides where masses can be celebrated; local parish wardens can only decide what happens to the buildings.\u201d Groleau predicted that within a few years, other local churches, including Sacré-Coeur and Sainte-Thérese, along with churches in other towns around the MRC, could well go the way of Notre- Dame-de-la-Merci, with Sunday masses limited to the big church in Magog.If Groleau is correct, the road ahead may not be an easy one, either for the soon-to-be-created parish, or for the archdiocese itself.Closing a church is never an easy decision \u2014 for anyone.It is quite possible that more difficult choices may have to be made, especially in light of the diminishing congregations \u2014 typically between 25 and 30 in Beebe and Rock Island, and between 75 and 100 in Stanstead.Whatever the distant future holds, for the immediate future, the new Sainte- Trinité parish will be served by a single priest once fathers Malouin and Thibault take their respective retirements.Who will that new priest be?No one knows yet, although it is rumoured that several candidates would accept the position.Yvon Malouin, who will turn 80 in April, says that he will likely stay on at Sacré-Coeur until the end of July.Alfred Thibault will likely take his leave some time in June, which, as per the archbishop\u2019s decree, will signal the closure of the Rock Island church.\u201cI will not be re-assigned to another parish,\u201d Malouin told The Record last week.\u201cBut I might accept to give a helping hand if I am needed.\u201d Malouin has not yet decided if he will remain in Stanstead or move to Magog, Sherbrooke, or perhaps elsewhere.\u201cI told the archbishop I would not like to stay on and be like a mother-in-law to whomever takes over in the new parish,\u201d Malouin said.Both Malouin and Thibault will be keenly missed in the community,

make up the new Sainte-Trinité parish.Stanstead\u2019s Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus, which is one of the oldest parishes in the Sherbrooke diocese, dates back to 1848.The original church was severely damaged in the Great Fire that levelled the north end of Dufferin Street in 1915.Portions of the walls were salvaged, however, and incorporated into a new church that was built on the same foundations in 1916-1917.That church was designed by the architect Fe distinct parishes, each with its own set of wardens, Louis-Napoléon Audet, who is famous for designing Sainte- À Anne-de-Beaupré basilica.SacréCoeur underwent major restoration work a decade ago.Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, in Rock Island, dates back to § 1916, when it was separated from the older parish of Sacré- | Coeur.The first Catholic church in Rock Island was built È soon after the new parish was established.The first Notre- Dame church was destroyed by fire in 1945, with only the } steeple and foundations left standing.The parishioners ÿ continued to celebrate mass in the basement, however, and in 1964 the decision was made to rebuild the church.That new church was completed two years later, and is the church we see today.Beebe\u2019s Catholic church, Sainte-Thérése-de-\u2019Enfant- Jésus, dates to the 1920s.While the parish of Sainte-Fhérèse was created in 1925, the church itself was only completed in 1929.The parish of Saint-Ephrem-de Fitch Bay dates to 1930.That church was built to serve the village of Fitch Bay itself, as well as a fairly large portion of Stanstead Township.Changes for local

Beebe, Rock Island and Fitch Bay for almost as long.Both priests are known for their easygoing style and are highly regarded by their parishioners.Malouin says he has thoroughly enjoyed his years in Stanstead.After beginning his career as a priest in Sherbrooke, he then moved to the Lake Megantic region.After that, he was transferred to Stanstead in the mid-1970s, and has been here ever since.\u201cI was very lucky to be 38 years with Canada Economic Development offers a financial support to the SADC the people of the Three Villages,\u201d the af fable priest said.\u201cI never regretted a single day all these years.But, as any good priest knows, he has to follow the orders of his superiors.\u201cWhen I was ordained [over 50 years ago}, Malouin added, \u201cthe bishop took my hand and asked me if I would respect and obey him.I told him yes.I can safely say the same thing today.I will obey.I will try not to be too sorry; and I will always remember Stanstead.\u201d For his part, Father Alfred Thibault is not especially anxious to retire.He told The Record that he realizes that he is not getting any younger.\u201cI arrived here back in 1976, and, except for about six years, I've been here ever since.\u201d Thibault added that once he takes his \u2018retirement in June, he hopes to be able to remain in the Three Villages.\u201cThat would be really nice,\u201d he said.\u201cBut even bishops have to leave when a new bishop takes over, so I'll have to see.\u201d Some parishioners in the Three Villages are understandably upset by all of the sudden changes.Yolande Lacroix, who is the treasurer of Saint-Thérese church in Beebe, and an active member of the church for many years, told The Record that she was \u201cvery sad.\u201d Things were happening \u201cmuch too quickly,\u201d Lacroix said.\u201cThey don\u2019t give us much time for it to sink in.\u201d She added that she was very surprised to hear that both local priests were being asked to take their retirement.Other local Catholics, like Groleau, wonder what will happen to the Rock Island church once masses cease to be cel ebrated there.For one thing, will it mean yet another empty building in downtown Stanstead?\u201cWell, it is definitely a bad thing,\u201d Groleau says.région de COATICOOK \u201cThe Coaticook region SADC is an important partner for CIGN-FM coop radio.Its involvement right

our first game in a long time, and we had a very laborious early game.The least we can say is that this game was very rough,\u201d he said, noting that the visiting Rimouski Pioneers managed to take

Cougars while Sabrina Falardeau got an assist.Stephanie Gregory played a solid game in the net.On Sunday, in a game with some significance for Division 2 standings, the Cougars showed their stuff

fill the pot or pan with soapy water and let it soak, then clean it later, or remove what you can with a wooden or plastic spatula.If scorched marks remain, add a baking soda paste of baking soda and vinegar, or baking soda, dish liquid, a bit of water and a dryer sheet (such as Bounce), and let soak overnight.Scrub with a green Scotch-Brite pad or a Mr.Clean Magic Eraser.If you still have some stubborn marks, you can use oven cleaner or products such as Bon Ami, Cameo or Bar Keepers Friend.The first reader tip shares another idea: Cleaning stainless steel pan: IfI think food will be hard to clean from the pan, I'll heat up some water in it on the stove (not a full boil, but a really good heating), along with a drop or two of dish soap.Once the water is heated, I turn the stove off and cover the pot.Once I'm ready to clean, it usually comes off with ease.\u2014 Libby, Canada Put the word out: I answered an ad for baby clothes on Craigslist when my granddaughter was a newborn.Being an obsessed grandmother, I insisted we get clothes far in advance.The seller was offering clothes from places like the Children\u2019s Place, babyGap, Gymboree \u2014 Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off Text only: $15.00 (includes taxes) WEDDING WRITE-UPS, OBITUARIES: With photo: additional $18.50.DEADLINE: 11 a.m.BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY & GET-WELL WISHES, ENGAGEMENT NOTICES: expensive stuff that I wasn\u2019t going to buy new.As it turns out, her baby girl is exactly one year older than my grandchild, so the clothes are all in the right season.And in an amazing coincidence, both their names are Lily Grace, so even the nametags are correct! I bought the whole lot of clothes, and the seller and I now have an arrangement: When she amasses a bin full of outgrown clothes, she sends me an email and I go by to pick them up.My daughter hasn\u2019t had to buy new clothes for her baby since she was born! \u2014 F.N, Massachusetts Shop and plan ahead for the year: Here\u2019s a good example of buying with the whole year in mind.Budget $12 plus tax for January.Next, run to the dollar store while you are already out running errands.(Don\u2019t use extra gas!) Purchase 12 20-ounce bottles of non-lotion-y body wash at $1 each, of various scents and colors.Now, fill each of your hand soap pumps by combining a bit of water and the soap (leaving room to put the pump back in), and shake.For roughly 25 cents per bottle, you have the entire year\u2019s worth of hand soap, so you can check it off the stockpile list.This is a cheap and effective way of completing one small thing for an entire year.I also save money by buying certain items in bulk, such as a year\u2019s supply of vinegar, from Sam\u2019s Club.For me, that\u2019s 12 gallons.I cook and clean with vinegar; I also use it in the laundry, in the dishwasher and as a rinse in the dog\u2019s bath.The large two-pack at Sam\u2019s Club is perfect for me.I go to Sam\u2019s Club once a month, so I always try to plan well.\u2014 Cricket, Texas BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 37¢ per word.Minimum charge $9.25 ($10.63 taxes included) day before publication.With photo: $25.00 ($28.74 taxes included) DEADLINE: 3 days before publication.$25.00 ($28.74 taxes included) WITH PHOTO: $35.00 ($40.24 taxes included) ruary 3, 2013 at St.John the Evangelist Anglican Church, Main Street, Nashwaaksis at 2:30 p.m.with Canon Bill MacMullin officiating.In Grant\u2019s memory, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society, White Rapids Manor \u2014 Mini Bus Fund or the charity of THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 2013 Universal Uclick Almanac Today is the 31st day of 2013 and the 42nd day of winter.TODAY'S HISTORY: In 1606, Guy Fawkes was executed for his role in the Gunpowder Plot in Britain.In 1917, Germany announced the renewal of submarine warfare in the Atlantic.In 1968, the North Vietnamese Tet Offensive began in South Vietnam.In 2006, Samuel Alito Jr.became the 110th U.S.Supreme Court justice.TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS: Franz Schubert (1797-1828), composer;
