year old at a later date but authorities are still in the dark as to the reasons for behavior provoking the police chase that could have had far more disastrous consequences.HOGs for Megantic Harley owners, dealerships rally for the cause REX TZ \u201cRT EE COURTESY SHERBROOKE HARLEY-DAVIDSON Lac Megantic Mayor Colette Roy-Laroche shows off her biker cred as she welcomes the 300 Harley owners who converged on her stricken town Saturday to roar their support -

noted was that there was room Jor improvement °° Auditor blames \u2018City laxness for $661, 000 loss By Gordon Lambie SHERBROOKE ccording to the annual report presented Monday night to the City ouncil by Claude Cournoyer, Sherbrooke\u2019s Auditor General, the City missed out on $661,000 in possible cost- sharing opportunities with the CSST, Quebec\u2019s workplace health and safety board, in 2008 and 2009.Cournoyer advised that, with $106,000 still hanging in the balance for similar cases from 2010 provided that the city puts in the request prior to December 31 of this year, Sherbrooke can save considerable amounts of money by managing its approach to workplace accidents more closely.\u201cOn the level of the observations we made this year what we noted was that there was room for improvement with more rigorous management when it comes to cost-sharing applications,\u201d Cournoyer said, \u201cwhen there are occupational injuries, it\u2019s in the CSST mechanisms that we can request cost-sharing.\u201d Cournoyer explained that, depending on the nature and duration of CSST requests, an employer can request cost sharing measures on the worker\u2019s compensation.According to the Auditor General, there were enough requests of this nature in 2008 and 2009 to account for $661,000 of possible savings that the city never even tried to acquire.He pointed out that while the three-year statute of limitations has run out on those requests, there is still $106,000 worth of similar requests for 2010 that could be made before December 31 of this year.\u201cThe changes I recommended have Family medicine groups to share increased resources Record Staff e Quebec government is kicking | in almost $1.2 million for additional professional services for five family medicine groups (GMF) in the Eastern Townships.These GMFs will share the equivalent of 16 full-time jobs (ETP)) to complete their professional staff.This represents an annual investment of $194,496 for the Estrie Region.The announcement was made by Saint- François MNA and Minister of Health Ré- jean Hébert, who is also minister responsible for the Estrie region.\u201cI am pleased that GMFs in the region can benefit from the addition of health professionals such as nutritionists, social workers, or kinesiologists,\u201d the minister said in a press release issued Friday.\u201cIn addition to supporting the practice of medicine through GMFs, this will improve the accessibility and continuity of care and medical services to patients, especially those with chronic diseases.\u201cThe consolidation of the GMF network is one of our government's priorities in order to develop a strong and accessible front line service.We are committed to producing a series of steps in this direction, and the allocation of new resources for more efficient GMFs is one.\u201d Hébert added.The addition of professionals is determined by the performance of GMFs, according to various criteria, including respect of and renewal of contractual agreements, attainment of target .patient participation, and the provision of off- hours (evenings and weekends) services compared to the number of enrolled patients.At the provincial level, 181.5 additional full-time equivalent positions will be added among 60 GMFs, or an average of three each, representing an annual investment of $13.6 million by the Quebec government.Montérégie road work Record Staff ansport Québec is advising mo- | torists that paving work will be undertaken on Chemin des Érables in Brigham, from September 17 to November 10.This work

better management of work accident cases could have saved city close to $700,000 not been put into effect,\u201d Cournoyer said explaining that since he began his mandate as Auditor General in 2010, the observations and recommendations he has made on the subject have been largely ignored, \u201cThere has been a certain laxness in terms of follow-up.\u201d In response to Cournoyer\u2019s statements, the commentary in the report from the city\u2019s Directorate General points out that there has been a change in the management of the department responsible for this matter since the original recommendations were made and that the approach taken is in the midst of a restructuring that has resulted in delays on the 2010 file.The note further stipulates that there is a plan in motion to attempt to better coordinate communication with regard to workplace injuries this coming fall.According to the Directorate General, the files for CSST claims from 2010 to 2013 will be more closely scrutinized in that time, and that the appropriate cost-shar- ing measures should be taken.Linda Harper McMahon seeks Bury mayoralty Record Staff Town Councillor Linda Harper McMahon will be

words.Think only of \u201cl\u2019affaire Mourani.\u201d It is difficult to draw precise conclusions but it is relevant.We await some response from the prime minister.Can Pequistes realty have a debate without answering questions?Can you really debate when you have the option of throwing your opponent out the window.Folks better think carefully about Mourani\u2019s experience.Truth is I and many others are already comfortable with our values spelled out in the Canadian Charter of Rights, and its Quebec counterpart.I don\u2019t need Marois\u2019 input.Take the niqab.You can make a case for revealing full face under certain conditions but banning parts of clothing is nutso.Why?What for?Comments about setting up a \u2018dress police\u2019 are not just hysteria.It seems there is genuine potential for that in this bureaucratic nightmare.This is as good a place as any to reveal a bit more about myself and my biases.(We all have them.) Once again | must go back in time but you were warned about that dear reader.I was born in Ontario and graduated from high school in the early fifties.I took French in high school and university and forever thereafter.In fact I am following courses today.Sol am of the anglo minority although my heritage is Irish.I chafe at criticisms of anglos living here for many years and still speak French poorly - or \u201c(T)he decision to present a charter of values seems a wicked, shiftless, divisive, brainless, thing to do.\u201d Values in Quebec not at all.I feel some discomfort but not much.Here I shift to capital letters: THERE IS NO ONE who has spent more money, taken more courses, read as many French books and newspapers, nor worked as hard as I have on la belle langue.So for those who like to criticize all I can offer is \u2018take a hike.\u2019 You should walk in my shoes.I can still get confused ordering in restaurants, but I have walked the walk and talked the talk.The defence rests.So how do I feel living in Quebec?I love it.Back in early seventies when we arrived we felt blessed.We still do.The beautiful Bishop\u2019s campus embracing our new CEGEP as it slowly crawled out of its crib.How lucky can you get?How did I fit into a basically French society?Not entirely easily but over the forty some years I have received a superabundance of respect and patience despite language weaknesses.When visiting in Ontario I miss things: les journaux, les cowboys fringants, les restaurants, les belles femmes, the wit and wisdom, especially the \u201cbonne journee\u201d from my depanneur no matter how rushed or small the purchase.Makes me wish I was back home again in Quebec.(Of course I also love Canada.) But the decision to present a charter of values seems a wicked, shiftless, divisive, brainless, thing to do.I already have my values in place in Canada\u2019s Charter of Rights and its Quebec counterpart.What is Marois really after?Pace Herouxville, because no one stones his wife in Quebec.Things like that and genital mutilation can and must be decided on by the majority.But such travesties are light years away from the business of pushing minorities around because of their turbans, kippahs, hi- jabs, ostentatious religious earrings, crosses, etc.(Crucifixes get separate treatment.Aarrghh.) Who defines ostentatious?Who takes the measurements?How do we pay for a new tsunami of bureaucrats?Well here we are: Alice in Wonderland in Quebec.In conversations I have there is often consensus that Marois\u2019 motivation is purely political.I admit I dislike the ni- quab.Those black masks scare the hell out of me.Shivers down my back.Well, I can handle it.Freedom of religion is at play and I can make accommodations.Meanwhile Marois stirs the pot, whips up fears and insecurities, and divides society into the we and them.She caves in to whatever goes on in the fevered brains of the pur and dur, and sees accommodations as unreasonable.She continually screams about Ottawa, and supports re-writing the history of Quebec.I mention Alice in Wonderland above, but possibly \u2018Animal Farm\u2019 is more relevant.Or \u201c1984\u201d?To repeat, my limited contacts agree that politics are the heart of the matter: a manufactured issue seeking a solution for a non-existent problem.But why?What are she and the PQ really after?It looks like a drive to consolidate herself and the party in the position of power no matter the costs.Well, she\u2019s been struggling and suffering for that much of her life.Now she has it.Maybe.Maybe not.A later goal is the break up of Canada.Nothing new there.So thanks, but no thanks.I return to Frank Underhill in conclusion.Pushing minorities around is bad news.It is wrong and leads good societies astray.: Bad luck to Marois and her cohorts.Telling tales in three languages at La maison des arts de la parole SHERBROOKE he Maison des arts de la parole; just like storytelling, an art that is age-old but yet so contemporary.In the aftermath of a grand 20th anniversary, Petronella Van Dijk, founder of the organization, passed the artistic direction on to the young artist Sophie Jeukens; hence it is a new team that has built, with much excitement, the 21st edition of the storytelling festival, Les jours sont contés.This edition will agree in the plural feminine, for the pleasure of turning the ordinry on its head.There will be some male storytellers, to the children\u2019s delight, but it will be the female storytellers \u2014 colorful, touching, rebellious \u2014 that will bring the diversity of their voices to grown-ups ears.(With the few exceptions that make the rule all the more tasty.)

Switzerland, and they tell their tales in French, English and Spanish.Their voices are filled with Haitian, Argentinian and Caribbean resonances, as audacious as they are unique.They carry a talk that has the strength of both tradition and transformation (Ivan Coyote, Yukon), a talk that\u2019s proudly political (Catherine Gaillard, Switzerland), a talk that\u2019s unruly and a little rock\u2019n\u2019roll (Myriam Pellicane, France), and a talk as salty as the sea (Patrik Ewen, Bretagne).They will tell their stories across the Townships, from Val- court to Coaticook, from Magog to Frelighsburg, not forgetting Sherbrooke itself, from the center to the farthest boroughs.It\u2019s an invitation.An invitation to prick up your ears, as you would put out a hand.Source -Sophie

everyone.It\u2019s no wonder that, all around us, infrastructure is crumbling from immense neglect.We get what we pay for, just as the old adage says.And we get who we vote for, if we make the effort to vote at all.With all of the corruption charges in Quebec municipal circles, it\u2019s time we paid more attention to who in particular we put in place to call the shots at town hall.Municipal elections will be held throughout the province on November 3.The period for filing nomination papers starts this Friday, September 20, and continues until October 4.Consider throwing your hat in the

transportation, plans for vacant business sites, future development.For years, training sessions addressing a councillor\u2019s role, council meeting proceedings, and municipal ethics and proper conduct have been offered to both novice and experienced mayors and councillors.Taking such training is optional.Those sessions should be mandatory, along with additional training covering the roles

Record e Sherbrooke Phoenix opened | their second season last weekend, and suffered a pair of defeats, as they fell 5-2 at Blainville-Boisbriand on Friday and 6-2 to Gatineau on Sunday.An inability to generate offence, as well as a lack of discipline, hurt the Phoenix as they opened the season against a pair of squads who are likely to be near the top of the league this season.On Friday, the Phoenix broke the ice on Mitchell Lundholm\u2019s first career goal at 8:02 of the first period and took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission.However, it was short-lived, as Julien Bahl tied the game up for the Armada at 1:56 of the second.A shorthanded goal by Frédéric Bergeron at 7:53 gave Blainville-Bois- briand the lead, followed by Emil Arons- son\u2019s insurance marker at 13:03.Jean-François Plante\u2019s power play marker with 1:21 left in the second pulled Sherbrooke to within 3-2.However, the Phoenix got no closer, as Christopher Clapperton and Marcus Hinds scored for the Armada in the third period to put the game out of reach.The Armada held the edge in play, outshooting Sherbrooke 31-17, including 16-6 during a second period that saw the Phoenix give up four power plays.Francis Desrosiers made 26 saves for the Phoenix, earning third star honours, while Samuel Montembeault turned aside 15 of 17 for Blainville-Boisbriand.Sherbrooke went 1-for-6 on the power play, while the Armada were 0-for-5 On Sunday, the Phoenix fell 6-2 to the Olympiques in a more physical encounter at the Robert Guertin Arena in Hull, thanks to a hat trick by Gatineau\u2019s Taylor Burke.Gatineau led 2-0 after the first period on goals by Burke and Simon Tardif Gaiters weekend recap Marty Rourke Sports Information Coordinator Bishop's University Women\u2019s rugby and lacrosse The Bishop's Gaiters lacrosse and women's rugby teams were both road warriors this weekend.The lacrosse team split a pair of games in Peterbor- ough, Ont.and Kingston, Ont., while the women\u2019s

Bishop's as he netted three goals and added an assist.David Bigley (New Westminster, B.C.) was between the pipes and picked up the win.Saturday, the lacrosse team was in Kingston to face the Queen\u2019s Gaels (2-1).Queen\u2019s led the majority.of the way before Bishop's grabbed the lead with just over nine minutes remaining.Queen\u2019s scored two unanswered goals; the second was the game winner and came with just 2:15 left.The final score was 8- 7 in favour of the hosts.The women\u2019s rugby (0-3) team travelled to Ottawa on Sunday afternoon for a matchup with the Carleton

the season against the No.6 Montreal Carabins and the Laval Rouge et Or in RSEQ University action.Bishop's lost both games, falling 4-0 to the Carabins and 10-3 to the Rouge et Or.In Montreal Friday, hthe Carabins pressured the Bishop's goal right from the opening whistle, scoring twice in the first fifteen minutes.The Gaiters tried to turn the game around in the second half and although they applied pressure, they were unable to put one past the keeper.On Sunday, Bishop\u2019s hosted the Laval Rouge et Or at Coulter Field.A high scoring first half saw the Gaiters open with a pair of goals in the first ten minutes.The Rouge et Or played a high tempo offence, scoring 10 times on keeper Marie Pierre Harvey, who made fourteen saves, , a number of them from point blank range.The Gaiters play two home games as part of the Homecoming festivities next weekend.COURTESY OF THE SHERBROOKE PHOENIX Francis Desrosiers (35) was named the third star Friday night in a losing cause against Blainville-Boisbriand.Richard.The teams traded goals in the second, with Dominic Talbot-Tassi scoring for Sherbrooke, and Burke replying for Gatineau.A shorthanded goal by Jean- Christophe Laflamme at 4:04 of the third cut the gap to one at 3-2.However, the Olympiques quickly responded with a trio of goals, by Marc-Olivier Brouillard, Burke and TardifRichard, in the next 3:26 to put the game away.The game featured three fights in the late stages, with Trevor Stacey\u2019s tussle with the Olympiques\u2019 Mark Beckstead, just after the fifth Gatineau goal, kicking off the extracurriculars.Stacey earned a double game misconduct for being in a \u201cstaged fight\u201d as well as it being his second fight of the game.Alexandre Sills and Gatineau\u2019s Nicholas Latulippe joined Stacey in the dressing room three seconds later after another staged fight.One other Phoenix earned an early shower, as Vladislav Lysenko was ejected with 5:44 to go for a check from behind.Altogether, the teams combined -for 46 penalties for 177 minutes.At press time, there was no word as to whether Raymond Bolduc, the league\u2019s euphemistically titled \u201cDirector of Player Safety,\u201d would be making a call to the 819 area code anytime soon.Gabriel Parent made his first career start for Sherbrooke, making 32 saves, while Robert Steeves stopped 15 of 17 shots for

a place to tie up our dog in the backyard and noticed a few dead rats TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2013 Dear Annie: Last year, my husband and I attended my cousin\u2019s annual summer barbeque.After we arrived, I looked for a place to tie up our dog in the backyard and noticed a few dead rats.They appeared to have been there for some time.I made mention of this to my cousin\u2019s husband, but he made no attempt to remove them even though they were only a few steps away from the barbeque pit.I tied my dog several feet away from the dead rats.Later, when we returned home, our dog started scratching.This continued for several days until we noticed his fur was falling out.I believe he contracted mange from the dead rats.We've been invited to their \u201clast nice weather barbecue,\u201d but I am reluctant to go.My husband says we should go regardless, but I feel that if they don\u2019t care to get rid of the dead rats in their backyard, they shouldn\u2019t expect to entertain guests there.And also, the guest bathroom is never clean when we visit.What do you think?\u2014 Disgusted in the Midwest Dear Disgusted: We think your cousin and her husband are not particularly meticulous about their cleaning and don\u2019t care if you notice.And while your dog may have contracted mange from something in their yard, there\u2019s no way to be certain now.You can contact the health department in your city and report Annie\u2019s Mailbox the conditions (most municipalities like to know if there is an increased rat population).But that may not\u2019solve your problem, which is whether or not to attend another barbecue there.We say give them one last chance \u2014 but don\u2019t bring your dog.Dear Annie: My 55-year-old niece hasn't held a job in more than five years.She is bipolar and on medication and is also dependent on painkillers.Her mother kept her husband\u2019s ashes in a box for years, and after her mother died 13 years ago, my niece told me she \u201cjust couldn\u2019t let him go.\u201d This man is not her biological father.But he was a Korean War veteran and deserves to be interred with full military honors at the Great Lakes National Cemetery along with his wife\u2019s remains.It was his wife's wish to be buried with her husband.Even the husband's surviving brother and sister have expressed shock and disbelief that his cremains are still in a closet.They want him to be given a proper burial.The military cemetery will provide a niche, a plaque and a service, all of which would cost my niece nothing.Yet, she won't do it.Is this the behavior of a normal human being?Or is she being selfish and controlling?\u2014 Speaking for Another Lost Veteran Dear Speaking: Well, if she is bipolar and on painkillers, she may not be entirely rational about this.We assume your niece inherited whatever belonged to her mother, including her stepfather\u2019s ashes.And although he was not her biological father, she still may have been very attached to him.Instead of being angry and demanding, consider being kind and understanding.Sympathize with her desire to keep the ashes.Explain how she would be honoring her stepfather by giving him a military burial, and that her mother would wish to be with her husband.You may not think she deserves such consideration, but you are more likely to get the result you want if she doesn\u2019t feel obligated to defend herself.Dear Annie: I laughed at the letter from \u201cWondering in Clinton Township,\u201d whose sister gets all bent out of shape when she receives a letter addressed to \u201cAunt Frances\u201d instead of \u201cMrs.Frances Smith.\u201d Right now, I am holding a letter addressed to \u201cGrandma Bobbie\u201d and another addressed to \u201cAunt Grandma.\u201d | really don\u2019t care how it\u2019s addressed, just as long as they write to me.\u2014 Fort Myers, Fla.Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Email
