their alma mater, filled the halls and corridors of Mount Notre Dame school here this weekend.Saturday’s event celebrated the private high school’s 150th year, giving returning alumnae a full review of the institution’s history, a time of boarding schools and a classical education, enriched with the traditions and customs of the Catholic church and the congregation of the Notre Dame religious community.“Can you believe it?” asked Louis Audet-Fletcher, a 1955 graduate from the English-speaking sector of the convent.“They’ve turned study halls, the old gym, the refectory and even the dining room where the nuns gathered for their meals into banquet rooms,” she said, remembering what they’d been used for during her years as a student.Graduates from as far back as the early ’40s turned out for a day of wandering the corridors, visiting all the nooks and crannies that were part and parcel of convent living and learning in the 20th century.The building was constructed with page 4 Tuesday, May 15, 2007 ^RECORD, Convent: Cont’d from Page 3 one class to another.Known for their dedication to teaching, the Congregation of Notre Dame sisters were recognized for their success in preparing their students for post graduate studies.This school, which taught girls in both French and English, offered a curriculum with an 11-subject arts program.Some graduates went on to become professionals in law, medicine, diplomacy, teaching, nursing and successful entrepreneurs at a time when women were just beginning to make inroads in the workplace.Drama, music, art and even cooking, sewing, knitting were all included in the students schedules.The community of sisters, founded by Marguerite Bourgeois in the mid 1600s, began teaching in a small tower in the area known today as Westmount in Montreal.The order flourished, attracting well educated young women to the teaching profession, with convents springing up in towns and villages across the province.Rose Marie Carrière, now a successful entrepreneur in Montreal, summed up her feelings.“On behalf of all the former English sector students gathered here today I wish to thank the administrators of the college and the organizers of this special anniversary celebration for inviting us to join in the celebration.” The school now, however, only teaches in French.Said Carrière: “Considering the last graduation of English sector students was in 1962 when a new, English school, Marymount, opened in Sherbrooke, it has been a special privilege to join our French counterparts for this celebration.” She added, “It has also been a special joy for all who could come here today, reconnecting with former classmates and friends, recalling our school days, revisiting our school and especially finding our former teacher and mentor Marie (St.George of Mary) Jutras from Toronto, joining in the celebrations.” Entertainment was presented by college students including music and song by the music department, Crescendo.The festivities closed with a five-course dinner where the din of hundreds of women, filling rooms on three floors filled this 150-year old convent with more noise and laughter than would have ever been allowed years ago where uniforms and perfect decorum were the norm.Shout It Out 1 .r | GORDON ANDERSON This Saturday, May 19, the Foyer Wales Home in Richmond will hold its annual

Premier Jean Charest with his mother’s Premier mother’s teacher, Marie Jutras.meets his classmates The class of’47 Premier Jean Charest joined former graduates of Mount Notre Dame on the weekend, eager to meet some of his mother’s classmates from the class of ’47.The event was a special mass at St.Patrick’s Church, also a heritage site, perched at apex of King St Hill and Brooks, just a short walk away from the bilingual convent school (now a private high school that has only a French stream).The premier’s mother, Rita Leonard, died in 1978.She attended Mount Notre Dame, and her teacher was the much loved Marie Jutras (Mother St.George of Mary) .The premier met his mother’s teacher four years ago at another reunion, and at the time said, “We were very close and it seemed to me at the time important that 1 should meet the teacher my mother spoke so highly of.” This year, Charest returned to his mother’s alma mater.He joined in the school’s 150th anniversary celebrations, together with several 1947 graduates and more than 70 students from the English stream for Sunday Mass and an hour of fellowship afterward.“It is a joy and an honour to be here, meeting with my mother’s classmates,” Charest said.“Having the privilege of meeting her teacher once again and getting to know her class- mates has made this a very special event for me." There was memorabilia on display, and photographs depicting girls in convent uniforms, graduating classes dressed in flowing white gowns, and the first basketball team sporting the first permitted basketball uniform complete with black stockings and — shockingly — short-sleeved white blouses.The bulky bloomers are not visible.There were photos of gym classes with girls in transparent organdy ballet costumes, trying to look graceful, their sneakers giving them away.The memories flowed like vintage wine, Charest sharing memories of his childhood with his mother’s classmates and teacher.“This has been an outstanding weekend, a sad and happy time, remembering classmates who are no longer with us and recalling those long ago school days with classmates who could be here,” said Marlene Hayes-Elkas.“Special thanks go to our prime organizer of the event, Pauline Wilson who was determined to find asNnany former students of the English sector as she could.She has been more than successful and we can only imagine the hours she spent rounding up names and addresses.” - Claudia Villemaire ¦ mpTHL ¦ ¦ RECORD Tuesday, May 15, 2007 page 5 Recalling an ancient rite Youth get their own, Agora By Christopher Doody Sherbrooke In Ancient Greece, an Agora was a meeting place and a forum for citizens.Next week, Sherbrooke will have an Agora of its own.Hundreds of young people will gather from around Estrie to take part in the downtown Sherbrooke event, which is being put on by the Forum Jeunesse Estrie.It will take place in French, and is comprised of activities intended to encourage youth citizen engagement.Co-coordinator Robin Lemieux hopes that Agora will give youth “tools to be better citizens, to help them take their place in society.“They will be able to share their experiences, their ideas, their preoccupations, their reflections on their realities, and their visions of the future.” Participants can take part in a variety of workshops, including a simulated Parliamentary commission, and a discussion on the sexualization of young people (that session is $20 for students).The movie Punk le Vote will be shown (and artist Roach will be present).There’ll be a seminar on getting a job and environmentalism talk.Youth — the target audience is between 12 and 17 — will also be invited to express themselves through improvisation, graffiti, and break-dancing.« Saturday night will end with a gala showcasing the best young local talent, followed by a comedy show by the Za-partistes.Lemieux says a conservative estimate is that 700 people will participate in the five-day event.He hopes the actual number will be much higher.Some events are free, but a Saturday afternoon pass, for example, costs $5.Registration is required and has begun on-line at www.forumje-unesseestrie.qc.ca/agora.htm;

they can contain ingredients imported from other countries.Companies that use imported ingredients need to be testing them for quality and safety.But they also have to rely on the assurances from the source countries that they have the will and ability to ensure their exports are safe.China has a stake in improving its reputation as a country of origin.Despite, or perhaps because of, its rapidly growing presence in the global food market, China has yet to show it has the capacity to adequately regulate the safety of its exports.That does not mean that we should shun Chinese products, which have become an important part of our economy.It does mean that we need more monitoring.Relying on China to ensure the safety of its exports is naive.That responsibility falls primarily on Canadian importers and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.- Vancouver Sun ©2C07 MOUTF mismi mss SÜSSSii \PP sa Stolen personal info Consumers must be told -w" • •yhen it comes to protecting % A / ourselves against the grow-\I \i ing scourge of identity ?¥ theft, ignorance is never bliss.In addition to the everyday precautions Canadians take to safeguard personal information, we also need to know when we are at greater risk so we can take further steps, such as canceling credit cards, if necessary.Most people find out fairly quickly if their wallet is stolen or lost, but we often have no way of knowing if financial or other personal information we have entrusted to commercial or government enterprises has been compromised.This month, a parliamentary committee reviewing federal privacy legislation recommended mandatory reporting of the loss of such personal information.But its recommendation does not go far enough to provide consumers with the protection they deserve.After hearing from a range of interests, including banks, major retailers and consumers groups, the committee conducting a review of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act recommended security breaches involving personal information should be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who would then decide whether consumers need to be told.Business interests argued against mandatory reporting, claiming that they already have voluntary policies that sufficiently protect consumers.That claim flies in the face of recent experience.When Talvest Mutual Funds, owned by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Com- merce, lost a hard drive containing data on 470,000 customers, the bank waited a month before letting them know.Similarly, when TJX Co.Inc, the American owner of Winners and HomeSense retail chains, discovered its computers had been hacked repeatedly, customers whose personal information was at risk found out only long afterward.In both cases the companies made their own assessment of whether the breaches of security constituted a threat to their customers, a decision that the customers should have been allowed to make for themselves as soon as the hacking became known.A lawyer for the Information Technology Association of Canada told the committee that mandatory reporting would lead to “notification fatigue” for customers.We suspect most people would be tired of hearing about the loss of their personal information after a single such incident, but surely the solution is not to stop telling them they may have a problem: The solution is to take better care of the data.A requirement that any breach be reported immediately to the individuals who might be affected has the added benefit of serving as an incentive to do just that.- Vancouver Sun TIIK ¦!

You’ve got five minutes!” That worked — miraculously - and depart they did.Whew! Carloads of decorations soon arrived at the scene of the party: tall artificial palm trees, a tiki bar, sand and sea shells, sandals and a straw hat, pineapples and coconuts, parrots, exotic flowers, wooden wind chimes, straw skirts made from unraveled beach mats, Hawaiian leis, gigantic poster-like Susan Mastine scenes of beaches, an inflatable limbo game.Meanwhile, a second double chocolate cheesecake was being made.The original had been forgotten in the expert cake-maker’s freezer in Sudbury, six hours away.While the party atmosphere was starting to take shape, an hour and a half s drive away, that curious cousin of mine toured the flea market, had lunch, took in some more of the flea market and headed home.She was to be back by 3:30 p.m.But very little escapes this woman.On the return trip, she noticed a thrift shop and asked to stop there.Her companions had no reason to refuse.Rosalie thought to herself, “Hey, how long can it take — 15 minutes?” momentarily forgetting the nature of the person who was asking to stop: a most curious person, an individual with yard sale, flea market and thrift shop antennae, someone who is forever saying, “Hey, come look at this!” or “You need this!” or commenting, “Isn’t this great?” or “Cool, isn’t it?” The challenge to get the guest of honour home seemed to be almost as daunting as that of luring her away in the first place.Another "nearly-new” store came into view.The driver silently prayed, “Please don’t let her see it!” They ended up stopping here, too, of course.Back at the location of the party, guests began looking at their watches and thinking, “She should be arriving soon!” Sometime later, there was a phone call: the star of the social gathering should be arriving in 10 minutes.Rosalie had just dropped off Clara, her other passenger.Family and friends started wondering to one another, “Do you think she knows?” and to themselves, had one of the 70 or so invited guests let something slip?On the road, my curious cousin was suggesting a stop at the nursery they were approaching.The chauffeur was valiantly trying to avoid it, stating that it was late, the workshops would be over.Her companion was determined to at least put her name in for the draw to take place.Guess who got her way?The ever-patient party attendees were watching the minutes tick by: 10, 20, and more.At the nursery, Rosalie refrained from rolling her eyes as the just-turned-50 woman accompanying her was checking out various plants.At last, someone at the house on Porter’s Hill Road called out, “She’s here!” The two people approaching by car were deep in conversation as they ap-proached the crest of the hill from where balloons and parked vehicles could be seen.The secret was out! And yes, she was surprised — we could tell by the tears and the shrieks of astonishment! Radler’s ‘sweetheart deal’ attacked By Mary Vallis CanWkst News Service Chicago A lawyer for Conrad Black launched a blistering attack on David Radler’s “unbelievable sweetheart deal” with the prose cution Monday, telling the jury that Radier would only serve six months at a “Club Fed” on Canada’s West Coast in exchange for implicating four former business associates.“You had to give the U.S.government what they wanted when no crime was committed by anyone but you,” Greenspan spat.Radier — who is a part owner of The Record — insisted he was unaware that under the rules of the Canadian system, he will likely only serve six months in prison, while in the United States he would serve a much stiffer sentence.“Until this moment you did not know that?” Greenspan asked Radier.“I think I’m going to send you a bill.” Radier is testifying against Black and three co-defendants under a plea agree ment with prosecutors that has not yet been approved by a judge.If the deal is approved, Radier will serve a lenient 29 months and paya $250,000 US fine; prose cutors have also said they will not interfere if he applies to serve his sentence in Canada.The lawyer also described for the jury that at the two prisons closest to Radler’s home in Vancouver, inmates can take care of cattle and golf while serving their sentences.“No, I didn’t know that,” Radier said.“As a non-golfer it won’t help me.” During Greenspan’s cross-examination of Radier, prosecutor Eric Sussman leapt to his feet twice and complained to Judge Amy St.Eve that the defence lawyer was not operating in good faith.Once the jurors had filed out for a break, St.Eve admonished all the lawyers for raising such sensitive issues in front of the jury.“You leave an impression in front of the jury that is not proper,” she told the lawyers.Sussman then stormed out of the courtroom.Earlier in the day, Greenspan questioned Radier about a series of telephone calls beginning in 1999, during which the witness had previously testified Black, who is also a member of the House of Lords, had directed him to funnel noncompete money to Hollinger Inc.— Hollinger International’s Toronto parent.The lawyer alleged the jury is relying on the words of a “self-confessed liar” for the content of those conversations.“The only evidence that we have about the telephone calls is your word.And you are a self-confessed liar,” Greenspan said.At another juncture in his cross-examination, Greenspan asked Radier: “It is easy for you to lie, is it not?” “I don’t believe I have to answer that,” Radier replied.Later, Greenspan emphasized his point for the jury, telling Radier: “Your word is the word of a liar.” “That’s your interpretation,” Radier shot back.CD Launch PERRY BEATON FILE PHOTO T'VZi"l làcÆ 0 l wmm MM v- Kate Morrison launches her CD Kiss The Sky today at the Vieux Clocher de Sherbrooke.The launch is at 5:30 p.m.Morrison will perform at 7 p.m.and tickets for the show are $20 ($5 from each sale goes to the Fondation Rêves d’Enfants). page 8 Tuesday, May 15, 2007 • - ¦¦¦Till — RECORD Construction Cont’d from Page 1 2005 have put an end to the continual degradation of Quebec’s highways.“The new reality is our roads are not deteriorating, they are now getting better and better,” she said, remarking On the importance of highways to regional economies.She also said provincial roads are increasingly safer.In February, the Liberal government announced it will spend a record $1.7 billion to upgrade the province's network of roads and highways — three quarters of which was built three decades ago.Yesterday the details were unveiled.Specifically, bridges and interchanges will receive double the budget of the previous year.The state of infrastructures has been a concern since the collapse of Laval’s de la Concorde overpass last fall, which led to the deaths of five people.While Gagnon-Tremblay bragged a record amount would be also spent in the Townships, the Parti Québécois government actually invested more in its last year in office — mainly for the extension of an extra lane on Route 55.In the coming years, the major investment in the Townships will be the extension of Route 410 that will allow trucks and heavy traffic to bypass Lennoxville.Between now and the fall, some $2.3 million will be spent to begin work on the interchange over University Boulevard at the end of Autoroute 410 where, the 410 extension will eventually begin.But construction there won’t begin until final approval of the highway expected sometime this summer, said Louis Ferland, head of Transport Quebec in the Estrie region.Gagnon-Tremblay said newly-minted Transport Minister Julie Boulet is currently looking at the environmental assessment report from the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement that took place last fall.“We won’t start work until the government decree is passed,” Ferland said, noting the construction of the interchange over the 410 will give road builders a one-year head start on the extension which is scheduled to be completed by 2012.Orford MNA Pierre Reid also pointed out some $2.6 million will be spent to build an additional five-kilometer lane on Route 55 leading to the border crossing in Stanstead.He said the extra lane will allow trucks waiting to cross the border to line up without snarling traffic.Reid said the government will also spend some $2.5 million for badly needed reconstruction of Route 108 in Ste-Catherine de Hatley between the village c_East Angus {Eastman Stanstead and Route 216.That, he added, is good news for cyclists — especially those going down the steep grade there.Other major work will include some $3.5 million to asphalt 11 kilometers of Autoroute 10 and Route 112 between Sherbrooke and Magog; $2.4 million to increase the number of lanes on route 216 near the entrance of the Centre hospitaller universitaire de Sherbrooke; and $1.4 million in Lac Megantic to build a beltway so heavy traffic can avoid the downtown.Construction will also include the complete rebuilding of four bridges and overpasses.Ferland said that work does not follow the collapse of the Concorde overpass last summer, but is part of ongoing inspection and rebuilding of major infrastructures to keep them safe.“I’m not responsible if any of them fall down,” Gagnon-Tremblay said quickly, adding politicians listen to the advice of transport officials and fund the project they prioritize.The four major infrastructure reconstruction projects include some $2.5 million to rebuild the Route 116 bridge over the St-Francis River in Richmond; rebuilding a bridge on Chemin des Pères in Magog; major work to the Autoroute 10 overpass over Route 222 in St-Denis de Brompton near the Chemin des Écossais (Scotch Road); and the reconstruction of a very large culvert on Route 222 in Orford.In all, Transport Quebec will be doing minor work on some 50 structures in the region, Ferland said.In all, the government will spend some $8 million to conserve and improve infrastructures; $17 million to conserve road surfaces; $11.7 million to develop new roads and $8.2 to improve the road network.Gagnon-Tremblay said Monday’s press conference to announce the road works budget was originally planned for Feb.15 — the day after a snowstorm paralyzed the Townships.The press conference wasn’t rescheduled because a week later the provincial election was called.Despite the delay in sharing the news, Gagnon-Tremblay said construction and repairs will go ahead on schedule.They begin today, the end of the Transport Quebec's Louis Ferland (left), and MNAs Monique Orford official spring thaw period, when heavy machinery can start hitting the pavement again.Reid notes local motorists, who are not used to traffic jams and delays, will have to fill up on patience before summer.“Our goal is to improve traffic safety,” he said.“We don’t want to provoke the opposite.” Ferland said police will increase surveillance near construction sites — especially the major ones on Autoroute 10 and major highways.Danville Asbestos UX3 rm PERRY BEATON Gagnon-Tremblay and Pierre Reid.Now published 24 hours a day Announcing the new www.sherbrookerecord.ccm - I T H E RECORD Also See: % ^ ¦ ¦ Serving the greater Lennoxville area ki-afiv^ ff ’é fAMOR.t>RD5LEfA \ \ l FOR.UD7 i 5PJJT0S,.WE mi EL \ WHAM TO DIDCUDDYOUR.)
