was reprimanded multiple times by Judge Tardif for things he has said during the trial.The last couple of weeks have been dedicated to the closing arguments of both sides.During his three-day address to the jury.Gallant summarized all of the evidence with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, playing some important audio and video clips to illustrate his arguments.Each of the eight defendants and/or their defence lawyers also gave a closing argument to the jury.Varying in length and tone, all argued that the Crown’s rendition of events was inaccurate, incomplete, or taken out of context.During his final address, Kyling took the time to give some of his own final instructions to the jury.“Gallant is not the final judge, (Tardif) is not the final judge, you are the final judges in this case,” he said.The jury is expected to enter into deliberation by mid-day Tuesday.NH citizens protest transmission lines Cont’d from page 1 the transmission lines would cross over into New Hampshire.The tentative plans were presented to the East Hereford residents.As sanctioned by state law, similar “Town Hall” type meetings have been held in the affected counties of the State of New Hampshire.As Karen Payne, a school teacher from Carroll County, NH explained in an interview with The Record, in the US the project requires a Presidential Permit from the Department of Energy (DOE) to go forward.The DOE is currently conducting an environmental impact study on the transmission line project.“They are trying to determine the scope of the environmental impact,” noted Payne.“Environment includes the social, historical, cultural and economic factors (.) The department’s scoping deadline is April 12.” The DOE has held a series of these scoping meetings throughout the (State and have been greeted with impassioned opposition to the proposed project.A recent meeting held on March 19 in Colebrook, NH saw a number of people speak out against it.Adorned with hunter-orange shirts and after a series of speeches, the opposition group cheered loudly when local folk singer Katie Rose used her allotted three minutes of comment time to sing her protest song “Live Free or Die.” “People are upset because the power is headed for southern New England.New Hampshire gets no benefits from it,” noted Payne, adding that proposed tax incentives from the project have not been enough to sway public opinion.One opposition group that has emerged is “Live Free or Fry” (a play on words of the New Hampshire state motto “Live Free or Die”).Having launched a website (livefreeorfry.org), the group has pointed out that the visual pollution and health risks that the implementation of the transmission towers would create is not worth the risk.The group argues that the power is not even necessary, as enough of the region’s electrical needs can be met without a “dependence on foreign power.” Another group staunchly against the project is the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.The group’s mission statement is to “perpetuate the forests of New Hampshire through their wise use and their complete reservation in places of special scenic beauty.” Understandably, they are against the transmission line project that would see this scenic beauty negatively impacted.i The society’s president, forester Jane'A.Difley, wrote a letter to Hydro Quebec president and CEO Thierry Vandal in late March.The Record has obtained a copy of the letter.“The fact,” reads the letter, “that there has been a near universal and visceral public reaction against Northern Pass as proposed should give us all pause.Earlier this month 29 New Hampshire towns voted to adopt resolutions in opposition to Northern Pass at their annual town meetings, more than half unanimously.More than 2,600 New Hampshire citizens attended seven public scoping hearings on the Northern Pass project hosted by the US Depart- ment of Energy March 14 to 20.Hundreds of people from across the state spoke at these hearings, 95 percent of whom testified against Northern Pass.They spoke eloquently about our landscape as a fundamental basis of our New Hampshire way of life that would be forever devalued by these power lines and towers.” Difley has asked that Hydro Quebec request Northern Pass to withdraw its Presidential Permit application with the DOE.Ginette Cantin, Hyrdo Quebec's community relations advisor for the project, has told The Record that their goal is for the project to have as little impact on the environment, landscape and citizens as possible.“Not zero impact, but as little as possible,” she said last week, noting that they would continue to work in close contact with the local population.Hydro Quebec’s official public consultation process in East Hereford is scheduled for some time in May.Serving the entire Eastern Townships with three publications Jo-Aim Hove) Advertising Consultant REGORD NFWS One number *19 569-9525 jhovey@sherbraokerecord.com Page 4 Monday, April 4, 2011 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record What it means to be poor Part 2: When the criminal is society’s victim Anna May Kinney Our society learned to ignore those suffering with drug or alcohol addiction who found themselves homeless.These were the “street people” a few decades ago, and we comforted ourselves believing “they did this to themselves.” In the 70’s everything changed as mental hospitals opened their doors and dumped their non-violent patients onto the streets.Many had been institutionalized since infancy when their families thought it better to give up a “retarded” child.Having outlived their parents and not being able to care for themselves they became the next street people.Housing innocent victims of birth with the mentally insane was not acceptable; neither was releasing these child-like innocents onto the street without having a safety net set up to protect from the dangers of having to fend for themselves.We knew it was wrong, we learned to walk a little faster, keep our eyes on the ground as we passed these poor souls who were often talking or yelling out loud.A few coins tossed into a cup justified our not working to change the system that allowed this to go on; we’d not give it a second thought as we headed for our warm homes while these “society’s victims” faced another sub-zero night on the street.The 21st Century Most large cities have group homes, counseling, and job training for those born with certain emotional, learning and physical handicaps, yet rural Canadians still have few resources.During the last decade the face of the homeless has changed again.Entire families are now finding themselves out on the street, some get lucky and find shelters to take them in, live in their cars, or camp out in parks designed for vacationers.Camping can be fun, but calling a tent home is a whole other story.Three weeks ago the Salvation Army released results of their survey that showed what the average Canadian thinks about being poor.Even with the drastic loss of jobs, a reduction in hours and pay, we actually believe that ‘the poor’ could solve their problems by just getting a job and that if they really wanted a job they could find one.Wliafs even more shocking, with prices of most products skyrocketing; taxes, services and the basic cost of living going up, wages going down, half of the Canadians surveyed believed that a family of four could make do on $30,000 a year and about half of those thought $20,000 would be enough.Makes you wonder what kind of a bubble these people are living in?While every Canadian is feeling the recession in some way, we are not being affected to the point those south of our border are.There, the gap between the middle class and poor is being narrowed like never before, yet here there are still many that have been able to cope with increased prices, feel they have job security and are still looking at the world through rose-colored glasses.Canada’s Salvation Army spokesman, Andrew Burditt, explained that while most people think that the poor are lazy, it has nothing to do with laziness and said, “It’s a case of not enough income, lack of access to the training required to get a new job and lack of affordable housing.” Criminalizing for profit During the Middle Ages, men and women often shared communal cells in what they called a debtor’s prison.Many stayed in these disgusting conditions for years if their families were not financially able to pay off what they owed.Some were given the opportunity to work off the debt.This practice continued for quite a few centuries until the USA passed a law in 1833 that ended it, followed by The United Kingdom 1869, but there they still imprisoned those who had the means to pay but refused.About 20 years ago there was such an outcry when a homeless man was locked up for life under California’s three strikes laW, whereby a person who has committed any three crimes, either been found guilty or admitted guilt to the crimes, could be locked up for life with no chance of parole.Even rapists and murderers have it better than that, but this guy had committed non-violent theft, the third time having stolen a piece of pizza.This law is still on the books, so 1 guess “we” are not being directly affected or we’d done something to change it?The Harper government is spending our tax money during a time when the crime rate is down, and building more larger and better prisons.1 ask you, who are these prisons for?Most taxpayers have no idea how much money can be made by non-violent prisoners working in prison for what needs to be called slave wages doing jobs that corporate Canada would normally have minimum wage earners doing.But why pay minimum wage when you have jails full on nonviolent, victimless “criminals” locked up, being deprived most basic essentials and willing to work six- to eight-hour shifts for pennies an hour?The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty has found since 2006 that there’s a dramatic increase in city ordinances that criminalize simple normal human functions like sleeping, sitting, eating, drinking or loitering in public.People found doing such things are fined, when unable to pay fines are jailed.Anyone thinking “debtor’s prison?” In states where there are three strikes laws they can be jailed for life after repeat offenses.These are not criminals, but victims of our society who are often just trying to relieve themselves behind a dumpster or building while not allowed to use the rest rooms of restaurants, or other public buildings.It’s time that we take a good look at where our society is headed and do whatever it takes to prevent this country becoming a police state.Ron Gilker’s Mocador Pub Sutton rocks to his baton By Manfried Helmuth Starhemberg Sutton did not know what it was in for when Ron Gilker and his wife Ruth opened the restaurant Mocador on November 6, 1979.Ron, a self styled “anarchist," a hippy in the best traditions of hippydom, car nut, computer specialist and world traveller happened upon this sleepy town.Slightly toned down, he is still there and his Pub Mocador has become a little slice of Las Vegas in a village mostly associated with the ski hill and the great stained glass windows of the Anglican Church.In 1837, long before Sutton was recognized as a town, the place the Mocador now occupies, was called the “Tavern in the Woods” and it has been in business as a tavern, restaurant or pub ever since that time.Gilker is the product of his great grandfather’s spirit.The man who ran New Carlisle in the Gaspé peninsula for about 30 years as a mayor modeled the kid.Gilker spent most of his time having fun.Albeit, a graduate of Concordia University and highly trained computer specialist, Ron travelled the world, first in a 41-foot sailing vessel for a year, when he did all the islands in the West Indies, then he travelled Europe and North Africa in his 1952 Mercedes Benz sedan which he abandoned in Paris (to his great regret to this day).In the late 70’s, Ron went as far as Panama and roamed North America in a van and in exploring the world he finally found a place in which he wished to settle; Sutton.With new wife Ruth, he purchased his present business and set out to father a family.Having known Gilker for more than a decade, I can speak freely about this: Ruth and Ron divorced about 15 years ago, then reconciled.Ruth is just as much a part of the place as Ron is and they remind me of the Liz Taylor/Richard Burton saga; “You can’t live with them but you can't live without them”.In Sutton today, every Wednesday and Friday we have live music at the Pub Mocador and amazingly, the neighbors in the village do not mind the noise.They bitch about the train whistles, which wakes us up twice nightly, but Ron Gilker’s music which can be heard three blocks away, does not trouble any of the locals.A great friend of Gilker’s, John McGale was on Friday night.He is well known for his work with ’’Offenbach” and has been a soloist at many shows and a friend of Gilker’s for two decades.Every Friday the house is packed be- cause it is the only place in Sutton where one may experience vibrant young talent mingle with tried professionals.On Wednesdays Gilker often has an “open Microphone" evening and local singers, musicians and soloists are allowed to showcase their work.Mocador has seen many reiterations.First it was a 200-people restaurant, then in 2003 Gilker, left the kitchen and sublet the place to storied chef Christian Beuxlieux, who left two years later to start his own bistro next door, but they are still best friends.New owners occupy the kitchen now but Gilker and Ruth have kept the “pub” as their own and it is a vibrant and thriving business and a great place to go to in Sutton.It is also smack in the center of the village.“Location, location,” as the old joke goes - it works for Gilker and his many friends.Help us help them! 49% of Quebecers ] [ have serious difficulty reading j OnKn* swing A u*,** wwvvTqa.tjc CAterV f * Foundation or 1300 361 $142 ^ MANFRIED HELMUTH STARHEMBERG Ron Gilker, owner of the Pub Mocador.' newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Monday, April 4, 2011 Pages Daigle given suspended sentence, three years probation Samuel Daigle - the 24-year-old man who sequestered his mother at knifepoint in September 2009 - has received a suspended sentence with three years of probation.A presiding Quebec Court judge rendered the decision on Friday at the Raynald-Fréchette courthouse in Sherbrooke.Daigle has been transferred to a halfway house where he will stay until Gas theft in f "I jbe Sherbrooke police (SPS) station I received a number of calls from JL downtown business and storeown-ers complaining of a strong gas smell in the city on Friday.It seems that one or multiple criminals have been stealing gas directly from the tanks of parked vehicles with the aid of a power drill.Using some sort of receptacle, the thieves drill a hole in a strategic part of the car and take what they need before fleeing the scene, leav- further notice.He is also receiving treatment for mental health issues.In a recent report, Daigle’s defence lawyer Jean Couture said he was happy with the decision considering his client has already spent nearly 19 months in prison.It was just after midnight on September 7, 2009, when a drunken Daigle entered his then 42-year-old mother's Sherbrooke ing the rest of the gas to spill onto the ground.According to authorities, similar incidents committed by suspect(s) using the same MO have been reported to the station for more than a week now, with at least four vehicles having fallen victim to the crime.The SPS investigation is still ongoing, as no suspect has been arrested in connection to these incidents.Food allergy recalls;

In late January, after buying a mobile phone and signing up for a plan, Salama’s name was entered automatically as part of a promotion for a drawing for a 50-inch Samsung plasma television.You can well imagine his surprise when he received the call telling him shortly thereafter that he had won! After receiving this exciting news Salama spoke to his fiancée, Amanda Barnett, who since the age of 5 has, long been involved in the Missisquoi North Youth Programs.Both she and Salama participate through the FYI committee in supporting the Youth Centre, its programs and the staff.“Amanda and I already have a 32-inch television,” explained Salama.“It, is actually too large for our apartment so, I knew that the 50-inch was not something we needed,” he said.“The Youth Centre needed a new and bigger television, we did not.” Salama and Barnett decided that the television would bring a lot more happiness to the kids at the Youth Centre than it would to either of them.Salama even delivered and installed it the day after the news came that he and Barnett were donating the prize to the centre.“I don’t regret my decision in the least,” said Salama.“Youth are enjoying it and I noticed today when I visited the centre that another parent had donated a Sony surround sound system which compliments the television perfectly."

Page 6 Monday, April 4, 2011 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record No, don’t so readily dismiss me as being anti-doctor.I am anti-deception by any other name: You could look it up EDITORIAL By Ivy Weir J-eremy - it is refreshing to read an opposing opinion to mine on Dr.Wakefield without being accused of a ckless disregard for children.Though you did imply it.Such a premise, at the outset, would negate any reason for a debate.Instead, your letter to the Record on March 30, deserves a response.Actually, my copy on the role of an editor, was written before your letter, but published afterward.You could have no way of knowing that but clearly, I was not referring to you as having made a personal attack.,You did not.It seems we do agree on the life and times of Dr.Semmelweis, may he R.I.P.His posthumous laudatory treatment may help.Like yours, my own background is in the health sciences and journalism, albeit mine of an earlier vintage.I have written over the years, many articles on vaccinations.If they were to be summed up accurately in a phrase, it would be “education before vaccination.” I would not claim them to have been hugely successful.In my experience, most people hear the word vaccine, and roll up their sleeves.Your take on Wakefield was familiar to me, having kept abreast of the unfolding saga from the outset.It was all wrapped up on CBC’s “Sunday Morning” in great detail along with an interview with Brian Deer.When I first heard that Dr.Wakefield was being challenged for raising questions on the subject of vaccinations and autism, I thought immediately “they will destroy him,” and they did.Had it not been Brian Deer who did his part to discredit Wakefield, it would have been someone else.When did the medical world ever bow to a journalist, who they would say, is not a doctor.I’ll tell you when.When the journalist supports their entrenched position.No, I do not know with certainty whether Wakefield was correct or not in his work and in his opinions.The CBC admitted to being bombarded fruitlessly with requests to also interview Dr.Wakefield.Formidable forces that aren’t immediately apparent come into play when a so-called whistle blower speaks out.Profit and pride can assume a tidal momentum.Think Jeffrey Wigand who dared to admit that tobacco was carcinogenic.His story was told in the ‘”In-sider,” along with the tattered remains of his life.If you remember, some members of the medical community were complicit in his downfall.Imagine a good and conscientious doctor, who had become suspicious and was wondering about his own observations and skepticism on the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) shots; would he speak out today, given the Wakefield fate?That is the harm Deer has done! All dissenting voices have been silenced or relegated to the lunatic fringe.If the medical world knew the MMR vaccinations were safe, why did they ever conduct any studies exactly to find that out?Would the harm have not already been done?No, don’t so readily dismiss me as being anti-doctor.I am anti-deception by any other name.I appreciate and respect my own two doctors, both being competent and personable.They serve me well, knowing as I do, that their role is to offer options when decisions are considered.My role is to choose among them.We share a well-kept secret that all their patients are going to die.So will they, at the very same rate.Cardiologists and their loved ones die of heart disease and oncologists die of cancer and on it goes.The majority of doctors do the best they can.The facts are stacked against them.I’ve had members in my own entourage who were doctors, one in particular who frequented my childhood home.Different subjects were tackled, but one I remembered well and have since confirmed the story.In the summer of 1930 in Lubec, Germany, 240 infants were vaccinated with BCG (Bacille Calmette Geurin) in an attempt to duplicate the success story of eradicating smallpox.This time a father and son team, among others, were attempting to erase tuberculosis.The infants received the injection in the first ten days of their lives.Almost all developed TB.Seventy-two infants died.It was later determined that the attenuated vaccine had been contaminated by the pure strain.Aside from the horrific consequences, what would allow the good doctors to ever have contemplated such a scheme on the newborn in the first place?So I learned early that all was not life saving in the RECORD P.0.Box 1200 Shertirooke JIH 516 or 1195 Call E,

vaccinations.More recently, a series of outbreaks of polio in Nigeria was traced to oral vaccines, administered because they are cheaper and easier to deliver.A virologist, Dr.Olen Kew, of the US Centre for Disease Control acknowledged those adverse vaccination events (note the euphemism) as valid.In one year, 124 children were stricken.When a US group was reporting on MMR’s documented success, one group reported gleefully that millions of dollars had been saved because teachers were no longer home on sick leave caring for their infected children.Clearly their motivation was inadvertently revealed as economic, not medical.Consider that in the US and heading north, the pediatric regimen on vaccinations for children recommends in the neighbourhood of 50 shots including boosters, before the age of six.Yes, six years old.They are mandatory for school admittance.So much for human rights.My own children received the routine vaccinations when they were young.I am grateful that there were so few vaccine cocktails available.Personally I have survived a panoply of shots required be- fore travel abroad.This past fall, I flipped a coin and had a flu shot for the second time in my life.So far, I have never had the flu.The two preceding years before the debacle of H1N1, the shots were reported to have been the wrong mix to combat the flu that actually circulated.The strains in the vaccine are necessarily chosen six months in advance of production.The flu that eventually emerges can turn out to be a surprise.I will leave you with this thought.Given the vast resources, the scientists and trained researchers with all the dollars available to the medical world is the very best they can do and say on the subject of dramatically rising incidence of autism, “there is no proof that vaccinations cause autism.” Is that a powerful statement that will ease the minds of patents tending to their abnormally demanding children all day and all night all year?Does the back-patting statement as explanation “we are better at diagnosing” satisfy you?We know it is mostly parents who notice something wrong and then see a doctor.Like I said, education before vaccination.LETTERS Dear Editor: Misleading headline Your headline “No english garbage calendars, in Lennoxville for now” of last Thursday (March 31) was not only misleading, but included two serious errors.The first and worst: anyone NOT reading the article in question was left with the clear message that there were NO calendars in the borough.I live on Clough Street and received both an English and French copy of the calendar last Monday.Secondly, the word English needed to be capitalized.And lastly, your comma use suggested that the calendars are “in Lennoxville for now”.but will be somewhere else later.This is shoddy editing and very disappointing, especially for a newspaper.Annie Duriez Lennoxville About the Bloc Québécois To THE editor: I think it is time to remove this party

Walmart, Provigo and various other shops.Last week, Jeans Depot, which now occupies the space that once was the one and only Walmart for miles around, put up a huge sign that reads Fermature

Smith was appointed president of the sitting as David Price was not in attendance.The meeting began with a question period from Lennoxville residents who were in attendance.Joyce Booth made reference to the article published in The Record concerning the cleaning ofTerry Moller’s house, and asked if the cleaning out was completed and what material is left in the house so that Moller could return to live there, to which Smith explained, “Mr.Moller’s dossier has been active for approximately ten years now and a court judgment ordered the city to remove the garbage inside the house.Mr.Moller had received several notices and warnings for several years concerning this matter but the city had not obtained any results.” He concluded by saying that a follow-up will be made to have the latest details concerning this dossier.Grant Simeon inquired if the borough council had the time to analyze his request to install trash cans on Conley Street because of the student reality in this sector and was informed that the re- quest had been analyzed, but according to the Special Planning Program (PPU) of the borough, there was no plan to install trash cans on Conley Street.A follow-up concerning his request will be made and solutions proposed.Karl Hunting firstly asked about when the new procedure for garbage collection will come into effect in the Borough of Lennoxville and was told that the new calendar for garbage collections will begin the week of April 4.The new calendar will be distributed by the post office starting March 28.He secondly inquired as to when the streetlights located near the Herring Bridge will be re-connected.The response was that the director of the Québec Ministry of Transportation -Stride region confirmed that the lights will soon be re-connected in order to assure the safety of road users.He thirdly questioned as to whether the borough has considered the possibility of changing the date of the Community Cleanup activity to be held on April 16, if there is still snow on the ground and was informed no other date has been chosen at this time, but the borough will look at that possibility, if the situation really requires it in the immediate future.It was unanimously resolved that the Borough Council recommends to the Executive Committee to authorize the closing of Queen Street between College and Academy, from 7 a.m.until 5 p.m., when the Borough of Lennoxville holds its second edition of a “Merchants Public Market” on August 27.This street is under the responsibility of the Québec Ministry of Transportation and several kiosks will be installed on Queen St., which requires the closing of a portion of Queen Street between College and Academy.It also was unanimously resolved that the Lennoxville Borough Council recommends to the Urban Infrastructure and Environment Service - for the year 2011 for local major road works maintenance program as follows: Considering that the document "Gestion de la pérennité des infrastructures routières municipales” issued in 2005 and revised in 2007 stipulated that for the local road network, the Borough of Lennoxville should be the one to receive major

Pages Monday, April 4, 2011 LINK newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Claims he is fed up Vallieres quits as Assembly speaker By Stephen McDougall Asbestos Y von Vallieres said Sunday he is fed up with the lack of “decorum and respect” for democratic principles in the Provincial Assembly in Quebec City, and cited that as his reason for giving up the job of assembly speaker.“Why are we elected if we don’t respect democratic principles,” he told the Record during a provincial Liberal fundraising brunch at the Asbestos Music Camp.“The climate in the assembly is intolerant.There is no fair play and I am fed up with the mounting confrontations I see coming from the opposition benches.” Vallieres resigned his post as the Provincial Assembly’s neutral umpire last Friday after the Parti Québécois opposition expressed non-confidence in his impartiality.The dispute was over comments Labour Minister Lise Thériault made to the opposition last month.After PQ leader Pauline Marois criticized the government for poor financial management following their budget speech, Thériault charged the PQwas hypocritical because its members constantly lobbied government departments for increased program funding.“Which of my colleagues here has not asked to put their hands in our pockets before question period to finance more discretionary spending and more programs,” charged Thériault in the Assembly.When Marois called for Thériault’s censure, Vallieres declined, arguing the comments were not of an “outrageous nature” that warranted any sanction.That ruling was challenged by PQmember Stéphane Bedard, who claimed Vallieres was favouring a member of his own party.“This decision creates a dangerous precedent,” said Bedard.“I can hardly contain my anger.” In Vallieres’ letter of resignation, he denied any political bias.“My decision, like others before it, was never intended to protect anyone,” he wrote.“Tie office of the speaker is staffed by a neutral team that acts in an objective manner.” He added : “Never in the 33 years that I have spent in this Assembly have 1 ever seen a parliamentary climate so exacerbated where the simple rules of order are less and less respected.” Vallieres was chosen speaker of the Assembly in 2009 after the Liberals regained their majority following the last provincial election.For years before becoming speaker, Vallieres had told reporters the position was “my dream job.” Industry Minister Clement Gignac, present at the fundraiser, said Vallieres’ decision to resign took guts.“He is a man of principle who acted in the face of arrogance on the part of the opposition,” he told reporters.“He made a courageous gesture.” Vallieres said he has no intention of retiring from politics.He told reporters he will resume his role as member of the assembly for the Richmond riding.He would not say if the government will assign him another cabinet position.Borough Council Cont’d from page 7 major road works maintenance programin the Borough of Lennoxville in order to allow an integrator project in the coming years to be confirmed within the framework of the continuance of this program on a short and mid-term basis; — to revise the management and the distribution of the boroughs’ local network budget for the major road works maintenance program, and this, according to the conditions and the states of the roads and the types of maintenance and interventions required to rectify the current situation observed in the Borough of Lennoxville which is clearly below average compared to the observations made in the other five boroughs.Still no word on government loan guarantee for Jeffrey Mine By Stephen McDougall Asbestos On Sunday, provincial Industry Minister Clement Gignac visited a Quebec Liberal fundraising brunch for local assembly member Yvon Vallieres.But a hoped-for anounce-ment of a $52 million loan guarantee for the local Jeffrey Mine did not come with him.“We are still waiting for an official letter of commitment from the consortium,” he told the Record after his speech.“Without it, we cannot bring the file to the cabinet and make a decision.” The money is needed to keep the mine operating and allow it to be sold to an Indian-led consortium, known as Balcorp Inc.But Gignac said Balcorp has still not sorted out the legal and financial details of the mine purchase along with its plans for the mine’s futue.“We have to do this right,” he told reporters earlier in the morning.“We want assurances that the mine will be properly financed and operated.That means we need a letter promising that.” The loan guarantee has been discussed since last summer, but the government continued to ask for concessions from the mine and its employees so that enough money is already in place to keep the mine operating for several years.Those concessions included a contingency fund of $10 million from employees along with private financing of at least $20 million to cover mine rennovations and recapitalization.Those concessions were met by a fund set up by an employee payroll contribution and the offer of purchase by Balcorp last fall.Gignac denied his government is stalling on the loan because of mounting opposition to the mine's operation by anti-asbestos advocates, which now include the province’s second largest labour union, the Confederation of National Trade Unions, which made its opposition known last month.The union, and a host of other environmentalists, lawyers and health groups, have argued the fireproof fiber is too toxic for humans.The industry, along with the Quebec and the federal government, have argued the Chrysotile asbestos mined in Quebec is safe if handled carefully.“We know there is opposition to this fiber,” said Gignac.“But I support this mine’s future and it has the support of many public officials and local health specialists.“Any industrial material, including this fiber, has risks.But we believe it can be used safely.” Bernad Coulombe, the president of the mine, would not comment on the loan delay other that to say he is still waiting.“No news is good news,” is all he said at the fundraiser.The industry presently employs some 800 Quebecers in the towns of Asbestos and Thetford Mines.Coulombe has said the loan guarantee is needed to sell the mine and create more than 400 new jobs.Officials for Balcorp could not be reached for comment at press time.Dulcinea’s Lament See yeur Blit Brow !>evelopmerit and Peace 1 888 234*8533 www.davp.org Cont’d from page 2 Alice Ronfard - Director Alice Ronfard’s path has been filled with

Page 12 Monday, April 4, 2011 ' dassad@sherbrookerecord.com The Record I think my brother and his wife should insist that my niece speak to others.Am I wrong?Dear Annie: I am a 22-year-old college student living on a fixed income in a small apartment with a roommate."Randy” is one of my best friends, and we’ve known each other for 10 years.We're a good match.1 suffer from Asperger’s, and Randy has a minor case of OCD.We are two average, slightly sloppy 20-somethings.But I have a problem with Randy.We moved in together a year ago and have only twice set aside time to clean the place.The first time, I was the only •one doing anything.Randy spent those three days barking orders at me and playing on his computer.A few weeks ago, he asked if “we” could clean.He helped in the kitchen, although 1 did all the hard stuff while he mostly supervised.The next day, we started on the bathroom, but Randy got sidetracked playing on his computer, and I ended up cleaning it myself.Once in a blue moon, Randy will vacuum the living room, but he gives up about a third of the way through.He re- fuses to wash the dishes with anything except cheap paper towels that come apart, so there’s always food still caked on them, and I have to rewash them.Randy yells at me for leaving things out, even though he does the same thing.He’s been known to throw my stuff away without asking, and I’ve probably lost $100 that way.If I ever ask him about these things, he gets angry or promises to try harder, but it never happens.Randy is now out of town, and he left me all the dirty dishes and a ton of garbage.I admit I’m disorganized and I procrastinate, but Randy makes no effort to contribute.What can I do?— Frustrated in New York Dear New York: These are common issues between roommates, and everyone resolves them differently.You could specify which parts of the apartment you will clean and then do so, telling Randy the rest is his.You could ask Randy to contribute money in lieu of working so you can invest in cleaning supplies or hire help.You could pool your resources to hire an occasional cleaning person.Whatever you decide, resentment will build if you don’t deal with it and work out a tolerable arrangement.Dear Annie: My 12-year-old niece is terribly shy.When I recently visited my brother’s home (with advance warning), she hid in her parents’ bedroom and would not come out to say hello.Today, 1 was on the phone with my sister-in-law and asked to say hi to my niece.I was told the girl had left the room because she didn’t want to speak on the phone.I think my brother and his wife should insist that my niece speak to others.Am I wrong?— Annoyed Aunt Dear Annoyed: A 12-year-old girl should be able to say hello to her aunt, but it is not your place to make demands.The most you should do is suggest that your brother and his wife talk to the girl’s pediatrician.It sounds as if she has a severe social anxiety disorder that could become more of a liability as she gets older.Dear Annie: You need to add a very necessary amendment to John Violette’s contract for teen drivers: 6.Under no circumstances are you to answer your cell phone or text while driving.To do so will result in immediate loss of both driving and texting privileges.— A.L.Dear A.L.: You are absolutely right.When the original contract appeared, cell phones were not an issue.Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens, and according to the National Safety Council, about 23 percent of motor vehicle crashes involve cell phone use.All drivers should be taught to use their phones only in cases of emergency, and to pull over to the side of the road in order to do so.Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Annie’s Mailbox Stanbridge East W.I.holds annual meeting The Stanbridge East Women’s institute welcomed a new member, Agnes Minnis, of Dunham, at their annual meeting, held on February 3, 2011.Six other members were present at this meeting held at the home of Dianne Rlii-card, Ross Road.After the reading of an article concerning the FWIC Triennium Project, Women’s Heart Health, President Dianne Rhicard opened the meeting.The roll call was the payment of annual membership dues After the minutes had been read by Secretary Betty Perry, Dianne Rhicard showed the group a clipping from the Montreal Gazette about a furniture maker in Stanbridge East.She then reported on her visit to “The Living Room” in Cowansville, where she delivered gifts which were appreciated.The Treasurer, Dianne Tait, reported that her Annual Report was not complete as she did not get to the bank; however, the Provincial and County assessments have been paid, donations have been made to the Elizabeth Ann Beach Bursary Fund, Water for All, the I aa Vfevl \ £ AJ&50LUT6LY UOTUIHG r~3j YlKQhlG!

that with 9-11 points, they jump in a suit; and with 12-plus, they cue-bid the opener’s suit (here, bidding two diamonds).If South is limited to an unimpressive eight points, your side cannot have the values for game.And when you know you cannot make game, you stop the auction as quickly as possible.Here, you should pass.As we will learn tomorrow, if you raise to two spades, it invites game if part- North 04-04-11 A A Q J 10 V J 3 2 ?A 4 A Q 8 5 3 West Hast A 5 2 A 7 6 3 V A K Q 4 ¥ 9 6 5 ?Q 10 9 6 2 ?8 7 5 A A 6 A K .1 9 2 South A K 9 8 4 ¥ 10 8 7 ?K J 3 A 10 7 4 Dealer: West Vulnerable: Both South West North East i ?Dbl.Pass l A Pass ?Opening lead: ¥ A ner has a maximum seven or eight points.Note that two spades goes down, the defense taking three hearts and three clubs.Yes, perhaps South should have bid one no-trump, not one spade.But that contract can also be defeated as long as West avoids a diamond lead.And, true, East-West can make a partscore, but they haven’t re-entered the auction.CROSSWORD Across 1 Cotton swabs originally called Baby Gays 6 Actor Guinness 10 More than stumbled 14 Basic belief 15 Capital surrounding Vatican City 16 Falco of “The Sopranos” 17 Shabby 18 $3 million, 30-sec.Super Bowl feature 19 Poet_St.Vincent Millay 20 Feeling of uneasiness 23 Jungle swinger 25 Fla.hours 26 Cummerbund fold 27 Hand-held two-way communications device 32 Cheering noisily 33 Mashed luau staple 34 “M'A'S'H” staff 37 Reprimander’s “reading” 40 Leave for a bit 43 Mind reader’s skill, briefly 44 “How beautiful!” 46 Oil refinery input 47 Up-tempo jazz piano style 51 Ami’s good-bye 54 Tiny bit 55 His-and-_towels 56 Herbal nosegays 61 Isaac’s eldest 62 Knucklehead 63 Close, as a parka 66 Hollywood success 67 Hollywood favorite 68 College town near Bangor 69 Nanny’s charge 70 Bills with Hamilton on them 71 Rehab step A R U 3 A ¦ 1 D L E| lw i T s R A N \ t|d E E m! |a B 1 T M 1 D : l e E O F N O V V H E R E A N oH A F I T 1 S T E m F E R N O N J N O N ¦ E f i J O 1 N 1 N E p T 1 |Oj ¦j r o R R E r i e T A |L E O S 1 N S E C 1 * p E P E l .L E N T N O R f i/iUc ;
