Says SQ officer, Charles Beaulieu.“The suspect was driving a turquoise Pontiac transport." Beaulieu says it is really because people are not hesitating to call the police that crimes like this get solved.“We tell citizens to call the police or info-crime as soon as they witness something, anything suspicious, even if it seems banal.It’s often little things that make a big difference in arresting someone.” The same holds true in any town.Police also arrested a man in Bedford this week.19-year old Michael Larose was taken into custody for breaking the conditions of his curfew and for assault causing injury at the Bedford Fair.Ben by Daniel Shelton I TOU?VOU WEC0ULPM4KE ANOTHER POO WITH ALL THE H4IR HE SHEPS.n im Briefs By Kelly McDevitt Public Ministry: Get the Hells back in Jail The ministère public is asking a court of appeal to return four Sherbrooke Hell’s Angels to prison, along with two others.On August 19, Claude Berger, François Goupil, Bruno Dumas and John Coates were released on bail after having been arrested under Operation SharQc - a three-year initiative targeting the Hell’s Angels in Quebec, New Brunswick, France and the Dominican Republic.Two other Hell s Angels, Maurice Soucy and Jacques Dumais were also granted bail.Prosecutor Madeleine Giauque is seeking to reverse the bail agreement handed down by judge James Brun-ton.The prosecution argues Judge Brunton made several errors in judgement when considering the case of the accused - three of whom face charges of murder, gangsterism, and drug trafficking and other charges.The six accused were granted conditional bail and paid fees ranging from $15,000 to $150,000; they are due to appear in court on September 2.CSSS-IUGS Plans Mass Vaccination The CSSS-IUGS is taking unprecedented steps to prepare for a possible resurgence of the H1N1 virus this winter; they are planning to have enough vaccine and personnel on hand to administer vaccines for the entire population of Sherbrooke in just one month.According to Lucie Bellehumeur, organizer of the immunization initiative, the CSSS-IUGS is preparing to vaccinate the entire population, over 150,000 people, if need be.Realistically, their goal is to vaccinate 85 per cent of the population in one month - approximately 120,000 residents.The mass vaccination project will take place at a single location, yet to be determined, and hopes to immunize over 4200 residents per day over a 30day period.Dates for the vaccination have not been determined, but officials hope to have it done before the new year.The CSSS-IUGS also plans to have vaccination clinics tor the seasonal flue operating by mid-October for high-risk residents including children, seniors, health professionals and those with chronic illness.Windmill Woes Another windmill project is causing controversy in Quebec.The citizens of Saint-Ferdinand, between Thet-ford Mines and Plessisville, are objecting to a wind farm in their community to be built by the Spanish company Enerfin.The project involves 50 wind mills built in Saint-Ferdi-nand and nearby Sainte-Sophie-d’Halifax and Saint-Pierre-Baptiste on private property at an estimated cost of $400 million.Work to is slated to begin in December 2011.Despite claims of economic benefits to the region, residents oppose the project over various concerns, including noise levels, diminished property values and the destruction of landscape.Citizens claim their elected officials have ignored their concerns over the course of several meetings.A public meeting on the environment is set to take place in Saint-Ferdinand on Septmeber 16 and address the issue.Hope for Valcourt Grand Prix A group of citizens and officials in Valcourt are working together to explore the possibility of keeping the Grand Prix de motoneige alive this coming winter.Among those involved are Valcourt Chamber of Commerce president Roch Bourassa and Johnson MP Étienne-Alexis Boucher.A preliminary meeting took place last Monday and the group will meet again on Friday, reports la Tribune, to begin work on the project.The Grand Prix event was put in jeopardy when an alleged fraud of thousands of dollars was discovered last July.Former Grand Prix de Valcourt (GPV) director Brigette Pelletier is under investigation for the fraud.GPV has suspended activities until February, but locals are hoping this does not mean the end for the event.A group entitled “La relance du Grand Prix de Valcourt” on the social networking website Facebook has 424 members.RECORD Friday, August 28, 2009 page 3 Facebook Details Improvements By Corrinna Pole Sherbrooke Following Thursday morning’s press conference by Jennifer Stoddart, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC), social networking site Facebook held a media conference call to announce the projected changes that would be implemented over the next year as a result of the OPC recommendations.The Facebook team included Richard Allan the Director of European Privacy Policy, Michael Richter the Deputy General Counsel and Senior Platform Manager Dave Morin who announced the site is planning on improving notifications, making additions to the site’s Privacy Policy and providing users with greater control over their information and how it is used.According to Facebook, the company has cooperated with the OPC for the duration of the investigation and supplied the commissioner with the enhancement proposals for review.The OPC seemed satisfied with the plans.“Our productive and constructive dialogue with the Commissioner’s office has given us an opportunity to improve our policies and practices in a way that will provide even greater transparency and control for Facebook users,” said Elliot Schrage, Vice-President of Global Communications and Public Policy at Facebook in a recent statement.“We believe that these changes are not only great for our users and address all of the C03 Is your secret safe with facebook?Commissioners’ outstanding concerns, but they also set a new standard for the industry.” Among the proposed improvements, Facebook will encourage users to review their privacy settings to match their preferences.The updates to the Privacy Policy will be clearer in explaining why certain information is collected and stored, how advertising programs function and the difference between deactivating and deleting an account.Users will be notified and have the opportunity to comment on the policy before it is put COURTESY WIKIMEDIA into affect.The company also plans on helping users have a greater understanding and control over information that third-party applications have access to.A new permissions model is being designed for applications that will require they indicate the categories of information they wish to access and that have the users consent before sharing any data.Cont’d on Page 6 Visit our booth at the BROME FAIR SEPT.4-5-6-7 1 THE < RECORD SPECIAL SUBSCRIPTION RATES’ 3 months o o CO 6 months $67°o 1 year $12800 (taxes included) •Valid on site only For new subscriptions and renewals -

Plett will take the vacant Manitoba seat and Finley will take one of the two vacant Ontario seats.When he appoints those three, Harper is also expected to fill the other Ontario seat, two of the three vacant seats from Quebec, and one vacancy for Nunavut.Conservative sources in Ottawa say that former Ontario Progressive Conservative cabinet minister Bob Runciman, former Progressive Conservative Nova Scotia premier Rodney MacDonald, and Judith Seidman, a Montrealer who has been an organizer for the Conservatives in Quebec, are among those who made Harper's shortlist for Senate spots.None of those expected to be named would comment on the appointments or the process.Senator Marjory LeBreton, the government’s leader in the Senate, also brushed aside questions about Senate appointees, deferring to the Prime Minister’s Office.Briefs Police Shoot, Rill Quebec Man (CNS) Police in Montreal have launched an independent investigation after a 29-year-old man was shot and killed by a Quebec provincial police officer in Sorel-Tracy on Wednesday.According to Montreal police Const.Olivier Lapointe, the man was approached by officers in the parking lot of a McDonald’s restaurant in Sorel-Tracy - about 82 kilometres northeast of Montreal -before noon.Police recognized him as a suspect in a recent violent incident, and attempted to arrest him.“The man became violent, and at least one shot was fired at the suspect,” Lapointe said.“He died a short time later in hospital." One officer with the Sûreté du Québec was also taken to hospital to be treated for nervous shock.The province’s Public Security Minister, Jacques Dupuis, transferred the investigation to the Montreal police services’ Major Crime Unit.“We have a number of witnesses to interview and we must check every detail before we have a better idea of what exactly happened,” Lapointe said.Montreal Gazette Quebec Police Arrest Final Suspect In Drug Mule Killing (CNS) Quebec provincial have arrested Paul Layoun, the last outstanding suspect for the July 2005 killing of Graeme Ferguson, Ottawa police said Wednesday.Ferguson died in Ottawa on July 19, 2005, of injuries suffered over the previous three to five days while he was confined and tortured.At the time of his death, Ferguson had just collected 17 kilograms of cocaine, worth an estimated $4 million, from the Lost Luggage room at Ottawa's downtown bus station.According to police, Layoun "was directly involved in the abduction, confinement and torture" of Ferguson, a 27-year-old British Columbia native, who was hired to transport 17 kilograms of pure Colombian cocaine to Ottawa before he was confined, tortured and killed over a botched delivery.Since the killing, four other men pleaded guilty to manslaughter, conspiracy to kidnap and forcibly confine Ferguson, and conspiracy to possess cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.Police said layoun, 31, was arrested Wednesday in Saint-Lin-Lauren-tides, Que., north of Montreal.He is to appear in court on Thursday in Joliette, Que., also north of Montreal.Ottawa Citizen National News : ¦!!!>¦ RECORD Friday, August 28, 2009 page 5 Columnist Time is a Fox Looking back, I don’t see how I managed childhood.Parents picking out your clothes, bedtimes, but most of all, and this applies to the really fun parts too, everything just goes so s-l-o-w-l-y.Life today is much faster, and much more exciting.For this reason, I’ve concluded that time is in fact a fox; Sly, cunning, mischievous, but above all, sneaky.The fact is, much like a fox, time only behaves when you’re watching.If you pay specific attention to the seconds, whether you were having fun or not before doesn’t matter, those seconds will go ahead at the same pace every time.This is what makes time sneaky, sly and cunning all at once, as it always acts the same when anyone is looking.Occasionally however, it does slip, but again, it has shown its genius by convincing us that really, our time-pieces just aren’t quite as reliable as we say they are, and it has nothing to do with time itself.Long ago, when people used things like candles and solar dials to tell time, these “slips” became commonplace, but there was no way of proving that they actually happened, because the instruments at the time weren’t quite as precise.Today, we have decided that the feeling of time "whooshing past” is in fact a miscalculation on the part of our brains, which is supposed to be keeping track of this sort of thing.Usually, time seems to go by much faster when we are enjoying ourselves.contrary to when we are not.For this reason, you will always have time for the math homework (unless of course you put it off long enough), but for things like writing a novel, or talking with friends, orwell, anything else thatyou might be enjoying, the time always seems to go by just a little too fast.“Oh my god! It’s 11:30 p.m?! already!?!” And then you get grounded for being late, and time goes by excruciatingly slowly to make up for before.Clever, isn’t it?But not foolproof! There are ways to trick this time fox, which also happen to make your life more interesting as well.Now, there are a few big differences in the way that you think when you’re younger, and when you're a bit older, but mostly, it’s a difference in how we dream, whether consciously, or not.Not everyone is a dreamer, but for me, since I was younger I kept dreaming bigger, and bigger, and well, as big as I could possibly dream.As that happened, the years did go by noticeably faster, and I believe that this applies to anyone, whether they are dreaming of the perfect job, life, or relationship, whether their life is good or bad, it’s the looking ahead that makes time go fast.It’s important to know that not everything will be normal, but that it's okay.Everyone should think at least once about what they would change if they were the Prime Minister, but the trouble is, some people don’t get any further.They makes excuses like “well, what if the rest of the party doesn’t agree?” or, “well, I’d be kicked out for sure!” So?You dreamed those problems up and you can dream them back out again! The point is, whatever you’re dreaming of isn’t done yet! It’s the only way that you can go ahead, try out stuff, and be guaranteed a second chance.You will find things that don’t work, but then there’s the fun of getting around it, and to just keep dreaming, until everything works perfectly.“Dream Big” has always been one of my favourite sayings; it just works for everything.Not to chase your dreams is to give up.It’s looking at the glass as half empty, but not turning on the tap to make it full.It’s not really living, but merely floating along in life, hoping for something good to happen.When you act on your dreams, you get ahead, and that's why time goes so much faster, because you can look back and say, like I did in last week’s article, Wow!

and that East began with five spades, five hearts and two diamonds.So, West had four clubs and East a singleton.Now the way home was clear: South cashed dummy’s club ace, played a club to his king, and finessed through West on the third round.Do you play golf?If so, you can practice by counting each of your foursome’s shots on every hole.And you don’t need to make anyone aware of what you are doing.:E> Medic Alert ALWAYS ON CALL www.medicalert.ca For more information l-SaD-66B-15D7 Your Birthday Friday, Aug.28.2009 Your material growth in the year ahead might be a bit unsettling for those who aren’t experiencing your success, but you mustn’t let this upset you.If necessary, begin developing new friends who aren’t the jealous type.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Try to be as tolerant and forgiving with your family as you are with your friends.You can always count on your loved ones when the chips are down, regardless of the cost to them.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — As long as the time you allot for pleasurable pursuits isn’t snatched from your work schedule, this could be a pleasant day.Neglecting your duties for pleasure could be another story.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - Be extremely careful about baring your sole to friends who are talkative, because what you say isn’t likely to stay with them.To be on the safe side, keep private information to yourself.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - A bright idea might not gain the desired support or recognition because you might tell someone who will then try to steal it from you.Be more careful.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Respect the privacy of others, and you won’t get in trouble.If you’re careless, you could unthinkingly reveal something confidential to those who will broadcast this information to the world.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) - If you play games with a close friend, it could lead to disappointment in the end.Each might attempt to outmaneuver the other by using personal and sensitive information.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Showboating could cost you points on the popularity scale, so be careful not to exaggerate your accomplishments to jealous types who can’t wait to make you look like a phony.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Unfortunately, you could let the negative thinking of an associate affect your good spirits and spoil what otherwise would have been a happy day.Let positive thinking provide insulation.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Substantial wisdom and shrewdness on your part will be required in order to protect a delicate financial arrangement from getting out of hand.Stay on top of it, and give it your best shot.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Be extremely careful not to let anyone rush you to judgment.However, should you fall prey, call a halt to it the moment you realize the mistake, and begin mending fences as best you can.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If there are rewards to be shared from a joint endeavor, make sure that the returns are divided equally among all participants.Better yet, get it in writing; a verbal agreement may not suffice.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — Watch out.You might knowingly spend more than you should, hoping you’ll make up the shortage down the line.Don’t bank on funds that aren’t in the bank.Saturday, Aug.29.2009 In the year ahead, conditions look far more favorable than usual in matters that affect your earning power and material interests.Getting money from a second source is possible, along with a raise at work.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Subordinates will resent being unduly pressured to do jobs you refuse to do.You can expect them to follow to the letter the example you set.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) - The best way to handle small infractions and not let anything disappoint you?Be optimistic with regard to your hopes and expectations.Your attitude will make this a good day or a bad one.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - If you find that you have taken on some type of endeavor that is beyond your knowhow and skills, or it’s tougher than you initially thought, face up to the fact and call in an expert to finish the job.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - Do what you can to surround yourself with people who are supportive of your efforts rather than those who are always critical of your work.Encouragement inspires; discouragement disheartens.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Because you understand your needs, you’re likely to do an admirable job handling your resources.Just don’t attempt to manage the affairs of others — that will be another story.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Just because someone is loud and demanding doesn’t make him or her a good manager.In fact, the opposite is true; so don’t be drawn in by windbags who have no idea how to handle things properly.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) - You might find some co-workers more disagreeable than usual, but if you want to counteract the negativity, find ways to compliment them.It will make them feel ashamed, and they will shut up.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be careful when asking for assistance from coworkers or friends so that you don’t come off looking needy.Just be grateful that you have others to turn to.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Success will be easier to achieve when you are involved in situations that are unselfishly motivated.Conversely, in endeavors where you are too self-absorbed, you are likely to meet with trouble.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If your tongue starts to wag before your brain has time to engage, what is likely to come out of your mouth could be blunt and provocative, producing both an argument and hard feelings.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Have a clear-cut understanding about the care of something that is borrowed from you before loaning it.You need the borrower to know that it should be returned in excellent condition.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — if it’s too much effort for you and your mate to show each other the same consideration and concern you both shower on outsiders, each might point the finger of blame at the other.Neither will be right.Sunday, Aug.30,2009 The year ahead is likely to be a far better one because people or things that previously served as obstacles in your path will now disappear from your life.Roads leading to new places — and success — will replace them.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — It doesn’t happen often, but the odds could be tilted slightly in your favor if you play things right.In other words, if you’re smart, you can do well.But you still won’t have license to take foolish risks.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Do not be overly concerned about how to handle any development that could be problematic.A positive outlook will wipe out any possibility of a negative occurrence.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - This is a better-than-average day to get back on track, so tackle things that have been giving you fits.It doesn’t matter whether you’re dealing with sports, business or personal problems.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - Financial indicators look reasonably good so don’t hesitate to dwell in areas where you can focus your efforts and energies on things that could mean extra bucks in your wallet.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) — Being your own person will be more important than usual, and you won’t like to be imposed upon.If you’re smart, you’ll avoid those who have a tendency to do just that.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Strive to put yourself out for others, because what you do for others — not what you do for yourself — will bring the greatest gratification and happiness.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Being around pretentious people always makes you feel extremely uncomfortable, so don’t think you must accept an invitation from one of those types.You’ll be much happier doing other things.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Aim for large targets or objectives because some of your more impressive dreams can be realized.Even if you don’t hit them all, at the very least you’ll still come out as one of the winners.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don't take your reasoning lightly.Your thinking with regard to how things should be done and what their outcome could be is more accurate than usual and better than most.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You have several good friends in the right places, so if you haven’t angered anyone lately, you should be able to get their support to help accomplish something important.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — More can be accomplished with an effective buddy at your side, so don’t go it alone if you can get another to join up with you.Teamwork will provide what flying solo cannot.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — Your physical skills are likely to be a bit sharper than your mental ones, so try to partake in jobs or activities that will give your muscles a workout and your mind a rest.
