Memorial Hall in Georgeville on Saturday morning, Oct.26, to attend the first ever \u201cmeet and Greet\u201d of candidates that will form the next political team in the town hall of Stanstead Township, located in Fitch Bay.The unique event had required much foresight and plenty of planning meetings by a large group of citizens, led by local community organizer Dany Gagné from le Centre de Santé et de Services Sociaux de Memphremagog in Magog.For Gagné, this was the first time in his career that he was asked to organize such an event.In today\u2019s information overload world, the committee believed that there was a need for a face to face meeting like this, especially with such a large and diverse township with unique representation from the Fitch Bay, Georgeville and Lake Lover- ing areas.It was not a low budget event.it was surprisingly a zero budget event, but the final results exceeded expectations, including complimentary cof fee and dialogue in the picturesque community meeting ground.Working outside comfort zones had brought its share of anxiety and preoccupations around the negotiations, but the final consensus from organizers as well as participants was that this initial event proved to be a great success, carried out with politeness, cordiality, proper decorum and class.A sea of white hair inside the historic hall, indicating the aging population of the area, and snow falling outside set the scene for this first ever political \u201cfull house\u201d town hall format meeting in the history of Stanstead Township, aimed at helping citizens be better prepared to vote by putting a face to a candidates\u2019 name, seeing their personality and hearing their views on important issues.The organizing committee, which had given this event a lot of thought, had decided to have everyone present in the room, from the four already elected councellors (by acclamation ) to the other four candidates running for the two remaining seats.(Aiken vs Loucks and Blain vs Laporte) The meeting was highlighted by the 10 minute bilingual presentations of the three rookie mayoral candidates, Francine Caron- Markwell, Thérèse Mc- Cutcheon, and Stéphane Pouliot, who were then asked brief questions from the public.Interestingly, of \u201cthe two solitudes,\u201d not one question was asked in English.The French questions revolved around the high cost of police protection by the SQ because of high property evaluations, maintaining township autonomy of the fire protection services, road maintenance as 70 per cent are private roads, transparency and communications from town hall as well as the recurring environmental concerns.Questions \u2019 stopped at precisely the predetermined two hour time limit for the meeting.The councellor candidates were allotted only three minutes to present themselves and give their views on pre-deter- mined topics in both official languages.The advance poll on Sunday by all accounts was very busy, indicating more interest than usual in municipal politics.Municipal leaders are confident that voter participation will reach 50 per cent on Nov.3.ératek Construction of e has won the contract to build the Val- oris

that while there are certainly French Quebecers who fought, the historical difference of opinion has continued down - through the years.He stated that the difference was simply an observation, but not

business, R.Mabit Inc, in the power industry.Through his interaction with an international clientele, Mabit became fluently bilingual, and is comfortable in French and English environments.He is campaigning under the title Magog Action 2013.Perle Bouchard was a notary for 12 years, before becoming the head of a real estate company and brokerage firm.Until recently, she served as president of

urban planning, environment, and Fe candidates are vying Four seek mayoralty in Magog public works.1.What do you see as the main issues that need to be addressed in your municipality?Hamm: Economic development, services for senior citizens and families, attracting young talent, the environment, public finances and governance, culture, communication, making Magog one of the smartest cities in Quebec.Mabit: The main issue is the free spending and what I consider irresponsible financial decision taking.Taxation rising at double the inflation rate (without providing more services) while the financial situation continues to deteriorate is intolerable.Bouchard: The most important thing for me is to control management, manage the city finances as a good steward.Bombardier: We have to better support economic development in our city, ensure sound management and better services to our citizens, and re-es- tablish the confidence of our citizens in the political process of our municipality.2.What is your management style?Hamm: Team work, partnership, working towards a consensus.Mabit: With 30 years of business experience, I will use my developed leadership capabilities to improve the overall administrative efficiency, while treating citizens as respected clients to ensure value for their money.Our Magog population is constituted of people with considerable expertise in many areas that are ready and willing to help improve our state of affairs; I will tap that resource for the good of all.Bouchard: My style of management is to build consensus and I will work with councillors to hear and respond to the needs of citizens.Bombardier: I am recognized for my integrity and availability, and my ability to get people to work together towards achieving our goals.3.If elected, what is the first » You\u2019re invited to join us as a VOLUNTEER thing you will do?Hamm: Hold a group workshop with the new city council to set up the agenda for the next four years and to

experience as mayor, a program that is already leading towards economic prosperity, my communication skills, masters level classes in Public Municipal Management.Mabit: My 30 years of business experience is what sets me apart from the other candidates.I know how hard you have to work to develop a business and recognize the need to invest money wisely.Running a municipality may be different from a business, but there are more similarities than might appear at first glance.I find it unacceptable that there is $12 million cash on-hand from abusive taxation while being burdened with a $68 million debt.Bouchard: I am a business woman who has training in municipal law and administration and would bring my professional experience and knowledge, combined with my passion for people to serve

apart from the other candidates.As a 66-year- old, I am not driven by a career plan or seeking retirement revenue, but by the desire to give back to the citizens of Magog, a part of what life has given me.Bouchard: I am a unifying person who can rally people.Bombardier: My experience on city council compared to two other candidates who have no experience in municipal management and my ability to get people to plan ahead and to work together which the other candidate, the outgoing mayor, has not been able to do.5.What changes would you like to see in municipal politics, to better serve the needs of your community?Hamm: Transparency, integrity, city council that works together in harmony, economic prosperity for Magog in partnership with other levels of government.Mabit: First and foremost, elected people should pay more attention to the needs and views of their constituents; common sense is too often neglected or worse, completely ignored.Improvement in city efficiency is

presumptuous.6.What changes would you like to see in municipal politics, to better serve the needs of your community?Adam: The role of municipalities should be fully taken into account by the provincial government, including the revision of municipal finances in order to bring more fairness into the agog Police spokesperson Paul Tear.\u201cShe decided to reveal everything in July when she learned that her niece, the man\u2019s granddaughter, had also been abused over a period of several years.\u201d The suspect appeared in court Thursday morning in Granby to face seven counts, ranging from gross indecency and sexually assaulting the two alleged victims.He is currently being held pending a bail hearing scheduled for next week, level of services given to the citizens of all municipalities.Also, municipal politics should be more focused on political programs and experience than on sterile arguments and character assassination.Bastien: Orford Township is a small community and does not need tremendous changes to serve the needs of the community.The three parties have a candidate vying for each of the six council positions available in the district.Only two of the six seats include councillors seeking re-election.Seat One says Tear, adding that the name and other identifying information is being withheld to protect the identities of the victims.Police have not ruled out the possibility that there are other victims.The alleged pedophile is known to police and has a criminal record but has never been connected to a sexual crime.Man arrested for baby beating A 28-year old Saint-François-de Bromp- ton man has been arrested and faces charges connected to the beating of a child in his care.The child in question is under one year old and is not the natural child of the suspect.The man was arrested Friday after an investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division of Sûreté du Québec.\u201cPolice from the Sûreté du Québec received a baby who was

OCTOBER 29, 2013 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record JITORIAL Happy to have t the details By Susan Mastine GG Heritage protector\u201d was the term used to describe Townshipper Wells Coates in the headline of a recent Record article announcing the release of his memoirs.The guardians of our community\u2019s history and of family lore in the Eastern Townships are in most cases volunteer-based museum and historical societies and heritage-minded individuals, few in number \u2014 like Wells Coates, the late Marion Phelps, Don and Esther Healy, Heather Darch, and Ian Smith - for whom local history is a passion.After listening to Rachel Garber\u2019s presentation on the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network\u2019s project Significant Objects for Telling Identity: English Quebec through 100 Cultural Objects last weekend, I strongly urge more of us to take the time and make the effort to preserve and pass on significant information from the past and present.Inspired by the British Museum's A History of the World in 100 Objects, the Quebec Anglo community\u2019s endeavour \u2014- subtitled \u201c100 Objects.100 Stories.100 Moments in History.100 Corners of Quebec.100 Facets of Quebec\u2019s Heritage\u201d - may seem at first glance like a whimsical venture until you see the objects.Imagine a wooden curling block used in curling games on Templeton\u2019s Pond on the Scotch Concession in Riverfield, Quebec in the 19th century, with JD marked on it to identify its owner, James Davis, an original Scotch Concession settler.It\u2019s quite surprising to realize that the \u201cstone\u201d is made of wood and equally astonishing that its current custodian, the Chateauguay Valley Historical Society, knows the year it was made - 1886 and who fashioned it - Charles Abbot.Consider another object in the collection - a fishing journal from 1923 that belonged to Elsie Reford.The founder of the renowned Reford Gardens in Métis Beach, Ms.Reford was an avid fisherper- son.The logbook is a record of her catches including the date; the number of trout, salmon, and grilse caught; their weight and length; the water, wind and weather conditions; where they were caught; and the flies used.It is amazing that there are individuals who have long preserved items that were once somewhat commonplace as well as those more unusual and that they have passed these things on along with their stories.With any luck, the 100 Objects project will inspire local historical societies, families, and individuals to take on similar projects.Perhaps the number of objects doesn\u2019t matter; the number could be the final quantity submitted or judged appropriate.What is vital is the exercise \u2014 actually reflecting on items that tell stories that should be remembered, making a list and taking photographs of these items, and composing their stories.Won't other current and future family members be delighted to learn that the butter mold on the top of the kitchen cupboard was a gift to one of their ancestors who, in the 1920s, secretly entered his homemade butter at the Danville Fair and upstaged his mother by winning third prize, bumping her down from her long-standing number three place to number four.When someone uncovers a family portrait hidden in the attic or behind a framed work of art (as was the case at a recent auction), won't the younger generation be happy to have the details - the names of those in the picture, the date and location, the occasion, and why it was placed out of sight?When the wife of your first cousin three times removed relates the story of her husband catching a sturgeon in the St.Francis River decades and decades earlier and shows you.the newspaper clipping about it, you may very well be riveted by the tale.The black-and-white data will be there, but will you recall the non-printed details 20 or 30 years later, the colourful elements related verbally but not contained in the printed version?The time of day, how the fish was transported on the long trek to the house, the exact spot on the river where the catch occurred, what was done with all of the meat, the excitement in the voice of the woman recalling the adventure?And what ever happened to the fishing rod used?What items are key components of your personal history?Why?Where are they located?How old are they?And pass that information on.Become a heritage protector.Encourage others to do the same.Thanks to the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network for stirring up such interest.And PS.: Mr.Coates, please save me a couple of copies of your book.\u2014\u2014\u2014THE mem RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, Quebec $1G 1Y7 Fax: 819-821-3179 EMAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.coms SHARON McCuLLY PUBLISHER

Citizens For Healthy Water in Richmond committee has asked all the election candidates their position concerning water fluoridation.Mr.Richard Arsenault, candidate in district #2, confirmed his involvement regarding this subject and his desire to resolve the situation quickly.\u201cAmong all the arguments put forth against fluoridation, what frustrates me the most is the fact that the Public Health Agency never made an effort to adequately inform Richmond\u2019s citizens and obtain their consent, despite their own ethics committee recommendation, before administering this treatment of sodium fluoride,\u201d stated Mx.Arsenault.Mr.André Charest, also from district #2, affirms that \u201cif the health of our citizens is in danger, measures must be taken quickly with the Ministry to negotiate the reimbursement.Health has no price and if there are costs associated to reviewing our methods to get our drinking water clean then it will have to be planned into the town\u2019s budget, and quickly.\u201d For Mr.Bernard Moreau, candidate in district #3, \u201cThere is no doubt that an important proportion of Richmond\u2019s population want the fluoridation of their drinking water stopped.This dossier will certainly be a priority.It is critical that the negotiations with Letters DEAR EDITOR: n Sunday Oct.27, we voted in O the advance poll for Uplands district in Lennoxville.We were very disturbed by the fact that EVERY sign was in French only.Since every municipal representative has assured DEAR EDITOR: to correct an important item published in The Record that may be the source of some confusion.The article states that Hatley Township has acquired the Mount Hatley buildings and equipment which leaves some uncertainty as to what equipment was purchased in the transaction.In fact, the Municipality has acquired only the equipment directly re- [ce like to take this opportunity representatives of the ministry be conducted in a transparent way so that a solution can be found.\u201d Elected without opposition in district #4, Mr.Guy Boutin states, \u201cEven though I am not entirely convinced of the arguments put forth by your Committee, I will support the end of fluoridation once the reimbursement requested by the ministry will be acceptable for the municipality.\u201d \u201cI am sensitive to your request and I will do everything in my power to move this dossier forward in the shortest delay possible,\u201d affirms Ms.Céline Bourbeau, elected without opposition in district #5.Nick Fonda, candidate in district #6, has been interested by this subject for many months.He accompanied the committee to the parliamentary commission this past April.He wants to find a solution quickly in order to end fluoridation as soon as possible as well as find alternative ways of promoting oral health.In most of the responses given by the candidates, they support what the Committee has done and applaud the citizens\u2019 implication in this cause.To this date, the Committee has not received responses from Mr.Marc André Martel (mayor), Mr.Charles Mallette, Mr.Gérard Tremblay, Mr.Jean-Claude Coté, Ms.Stéphanie Per- reault, Mr.Pierre Grégoire and Mr.Clifford Lancaster.MANDY DEMERS RICHMOND us that they believe the bilingual char- \"acter of Lennoxville is important, it seems as if once again, the actions of politicians speak a different language (pun intended) than their words.MARIE MCLEAN LENNOXVILLE lated to the building, such as office furniture and kitchen equipment.Equipment attached to the recreational operations of the mountain was not part of this transaction and the Municipality is in no way connected with Mount Hatley\u2019s recreational activities promoter.I trust that this will clear up any ambiguity that may remain.MARTIN PRIMEAU MAYOR ELECT HATLEY TOWNSHIP The Record | newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2013 Page 7 Local Sports |: The Phoenix are e currently or ona ; bus heading to the Maritimes, where a three- game road trip gets underway on Wednesday.Sherbrooke Phoenix close out weekend | with entertaining home win over Moncton By John Edwards Special to The Record the last two weekends have fallen into the same pattern: quietly surrender in the first two games, followed by a rebound for a win on Sunday that gives fans hope that a resurgence may yet come.This Sunday, the Phoenix scored twice in the third period to defeat the Moncton Wildcats 3-2 at the Sports Palace.With the win, the Phoenix (5-11-2) climbed into a tie for 16th place with the Saint John Sea Dogs.After another 1-2 weekend, the Phoenix head to the Maritimes F* the Sherbrooke Phoenix, for the second and final time this season.\u201cIt seems that when we are about to get ready for a long trip, we win,\u201d said Judes Vallée, the Phoenix head coach.\u201cIt will make the long trip more enjoyable.We didn\u2019t play well in the first period, but after that we were more opportunistic.\u201d While Daniel Audette continued to lead the Phoenix offensively, this time with two assists, it was over-age goalie Francis Desrosiers who won the game for the Phoenix, making 39 saves on 41 shots.Desrosiers got some help from his friendly neighbourhood goalposts, as the Wildcats hit iron at least three times in the game.\u201cOur goalie held us in the game,\u201d said Vallée.\u201cHe has an excellent attitude and he guards the net very well.He works very hard in practice, and I'm convinced he\u2019s going to get better.\u201d The Wildcats did hold the edge in play in the first period, with Mark Simpson opening the scoring at 12:49.Vincent Deslau- riers tied the game for Sherbrooke at 3:17 of the second, leaving the game tied at 1-1 after 40 minutes.Jean-Francois Plante\u2019s tenth goal of the year only 43 seconds into the third period put Sherbrooke up, and Dominic Talbot- Tassi scored the game-winner at 7:53, on the power play.The Wildcats got one back, courtesy of Kyle Hass, 32 seconds later, but Desrosiers slammed the door shut.Earlier in the weekend, the Phoenix fell 41 to the Gatineau Olympiques on Thursday in a game that saw the Phoenix play well for the first period, but completely fall apart defensively afterwards.Deslauriers had the only Phoenix goal, at 13:41 of the first, before Gatineau responded with four unanswered markers.On Friday, the Phoenix were no match for the league-leading Armada, falling 7-2 in Bois- briand.Audette and Plante scored for Sherbrooke, while Gabriel Parent struggled, allowing seven goals on 24 shots.The Phoenix are currently on a bus heading to the Maritimes, where a three-game road trip gets underway on Wednesday.The Phoenix will take on the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in Sydney, N.S., before heading to Charlottetown for a game on Friday against the newly-re- named Islanders.The trip winds up on Saturday in Moncton against the Wildcats.NOTES: Sunday's game saw the Phoenix mascot, Onyx, celebrate his first birthday.They grow up so fast.By Mike Hickey Spedal to The Record Toe Eastern Townshippers were among the names of 41 student athletes who shared a total of $134,000 in bursaries marking the 14th edition of Saputo\u2019s Bursary Pro gram with the Quebec Foundation for Athletic Excellence.Soccer players Ariel Carig- nan, Jeremy Gagnon-Laparé and swimmer Jonathan Naisby were selected for their outstanding performances in the classroom and in their respective sports.Carignan, a Sherbrooke native, is an excellent defensive player who has the ability to deke opponents and set up plays.She attends George Vanier High School in Laval and would like a career in engineering or architecture when she hangs up her cleats.Magog\u2019s Gagnon-Laparé is a member of the Montreal Impact Academy U21 team who has attended two Canadian National team training camps this fall.Gagnon-Laparé is taking social sciences with an administration profile at College Marie Victorin and would like to be a physical education teacher and coach when his competitive days are over.Naisby made his presence felt on the national scene this summer when he won a bronze medal in the 100-metre breaststroke at the Canadian Senior National Championships in his first year in senior competition.Townshippers receive Saputo bursaries Carignan, Gagnon-Laparé and Naisby honoured in Montreal ceremony Naisby has also found success in the classroom, he has maintained an 87 per cent average at CEGEP Sherbrooke while taking international studies.While he is uncertain what he wants to do for a career, he is interested in political science and history.This year\u2019s bursary program features a new element, as bursaries have been divided into two distinct categories: Academic Excellence bursaries and Academic and Athletic Support bursaries that were given to 19 student athletes to reward their ability to succeed in their sport and their studies, a demanding challenge for those emerging onto or competing on the national and international scenes.Carignan and Gagnon-Laparé were awarded $2,000 while Naisby received $4,000, money that will be used to cover training and competition costs.In 2010, Saputo proudly announced that it would renew its agreement to support the foundation with a million dollar donation over a five-year partnership \u2014 an investment of $200,000 per year.Claude Chagnon, president of the Quebec Foundation for Athletic Excellence, stated, \u201cSa- puto and the foundation share the value of education and of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.This is clearly demonstrated with their support of new bursaries that reward academic ex- NORMAND HUBERDEAU/NH PHOTOGRAPHES Student athletes received their bursaries from Sandy Vassiadis from Saputo and Joey Saputo from the Montreal Impact: Ariel Carignan in soccer from Sherbrooke ($2,000), Jonathan Naisby in swimming from Canton-de-Hatley ($4,000) and Jérémy Gagnon-Laparé in soccer from Magog ($2,000).cellence, encouraging the pursuit of educational and athletic achievement.\u201cSaputo recognizes the Quebec Foundation for Athletic Excellence for its exceptional work with student athletes, and for the solid partnerships it has built within the business community of Quebec.These young student athletes deserve and require our support in their quest for excellence.\u201d Page 8 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2013 production@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Kentucky fried sides STIR IT UP! by Marialisa Calta In a land of home cooks who poach, steam, saute, grill, roast, braise and stew, it\u2019s a pleasure to find a cook who stands up for a method that, for some, may have gone by the wayside: frying.You might not expect that the champion would be the former food editor of the highbrow Town & Country magazine, but then you might not know that James Villas was born and bred in North Carolina and has written a number of Southern cookbooks, including one of my favorites, \u201cThe Bacon Cookbook\u201d (2007).In his latest book, \u201cSouthern Fried,\u201d Villas defends the cuisine of his youth with vigor.\u201cSouthern cooks approach every aspect of frying very seriously and intelligently,\u201d he writes.\u201cWe have little patience with those who might blindly condemn a style of cooking that, when handled with bit of know-how and lots of common sense and respect, is altogether as disciplined, sophisticated, refined and, indeed, healthy as any other.\u201d If you've done your share of deep-fry- ing, you know that it\u2019s probably not your method of choice for, say, a weekday night dinner, especially the kind of night involving PTO meetings, homework and the like.Even Villas will acknowledge that deep-frying takes preparation, patience and a fair amount of cleanup.But there are many pan-fried dishes (as opposed to deep-fried ones) that can fit into your dinner plans any night of the week.Take Kentucky Fried Corn, for instance.According to Villas, it is often served at breakfast, but also appears with \u201cvirtually any pork dish.\u201d To a Northerner (me), it also tastes great with burgers, chicken or fish, or even (yes, I'll say it!) tofu.The same can be said of the Skillet Succotash, which Villas credits to Greenville, Miss., cook Julia Reed.Fry on! KENTUCKY FRIED CORN Yield: 4 servings 4 to 5 large or 6 to 7 medium ears fresh corn, husks and silk removed, OR 4 1/2 cups frozen corn (see note) 3 tablespoons minced onion 3 tablespoons minced green bell pepper 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 cup whole milk 3 tablespoons bacon grease 2 tablespoons butter If using fresh corn, take a sharp knife and cut off one end of the cob so you can easily stand it upright in a bowl.Cut the kernels off the cobs, scraping any \u201cmilk\u201d into the bowl.If using frozen corn, allow it to thaw.Add the onion, bell pepper, flour, sugar, salt, pepper and milk; stir until well blended.In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the bacon grease over moderate heat.Add the corn mixture and fry until part of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.Add the butter and continue to stir until the butter is melted and the corn is tender, about 10 minutes.Serve hot.Note: Villas admonishes cooks not to use canned corn, but I disagree.The new (to me, at least) vacuum-packed canned kernels are tender and juicy.(Green Giant and Libby's are two brands.) JULIA\u2019S MIXED VEGETABLE SKILLET SUCCOTASH Yield: 6 to 8 servings 6 slices bacon 1 medium onion, peeled and minced 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 cups sliced okra (fresh, or frozen and thawed) peeled and 3 medium ripe tomatoes, peeled .and diced (see note} 6 large or 8 medium ears fresh corn, husks and silk removed and kernels cut from the cob OR 6 cups frozen corn, thawed 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Pinch of cayenne pepper, or Overcome your fear of frying with a skillet full of Kentucky Fried Corn, a delicious regional specialty.Credit: Jason Wyche for \u201cSouthern Fried\u201d by James Villas; Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013.more to taste 8 fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces In a large, deep cast-iron skillet, fry the bacon over moderate heat until crisp.Drain on paper towels and, when cool enough to handle, crumble.Add the onion, jalapeno and garlic to the skillet; stir until softened, about 3 minutes.Add the okra and stir for 5 minutes longer.Add the tomatoes, corn, thyme, salt, pepper and cayenne.Reduce heat slightly, .cover partially, and fry until the corn is tender, about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.Add the basil and crumbled bacon; stir and serve hot.To serve as a main course, add 1/2 pound fresh boiled shrimp or cubed cooked chicken at the end; stir to heat through and serve.Note: To peel tomatoes, cut an X with a sharp knife on the bottom of each tomato, plunge into boiling water for about 1 minute, then remove and plunge into a bowl of ice water.Drain.The skins will slip off.(Or you can just skip this step.)
