They only use a little amount and its not expensive to make, but it is very dangerous.” As Tear explained, speed is not consumed recreationally, like alcohol, marijuana, and other types of drugs.The pills are taken by people who want to stay awake for days at a time, people who, in Tear’s words.“Just don’t have the time to sleep, I guess." It is not only what is being put in the pills that makes them dangerous, it is also how they are being produced.“The pills are fabricated in these clandestine laboratories," notes Tear."They could be dirty.And there is absolutely no control over how much of a substance is being put in or the quality of that substance.The consumers don't know what they are taking from pill to pill.It’s a little like Russian roulette.It could very easily be fatal.” The Memphrémagog police are taking measures to deal with the situation, sending out warnings to the media and having officers visit area schools to get the word out about the dangers of drug consumption.But is there a reason for the recent influx of speed pill cases?“For sure there could be a particular pill that's more dangerous, but there could also be others," said Tear.“There could be other pills out there that are even more dangerous that we don’t know about." dmccooeve@sherbrookerecord.com Cont’d from Page 1 On the question “Academically, is your university nurturing and supportive?”, Bishop’s ranked first among all Canadian universities, regardless of enrolment size.“Students ranking us number-one in the country in student support is great,” notes McBride.“That’s what we focus on as a university, and it shows that we are doing our job well.” When reading the survey, McBride says that the school mostly focuses on the categories that they do not score well in to try and improve them.This year BU continued to receive lower grades in the Food Services (C-minus), Recreation and Athletics (B), and Career Preparation (B) categories.“We went up from a D to a C-minus in Food Services this year,” explains McBride.“But we are still taking measures to improve things.” Indeed, a group of people that will include McBride and Student Representative Council president Paige Johnson will be visiting certain New England area schools that are renowned for their Food Services.“We want to get some ideas about what the best plans are for our food services,” said Johnson in an interview with The Record on Wednesday.“We want to see what these school do, figure out what works, and see how we could possibly implement things here.” McBride cited the multi-million-dol-lar addition to the athletics facilities and a career preparation workshop scheduled for January as other ways the school is looking to improve on its weaknesses.Overall, Bishop’s is arguably the best very small school in Canada.For John- Bishop’s son, it is this size that gives it the advantage.“It has a lot to do with our small size,” she said of BU scoring well in the report.“There’s a lot of campus interaction.In classes, you have a max of 35 students.There’s a real community here that you don’t get other places.” In the wake of the positive results, Bishop’s University principal Michael Goldbloom sent out a letter to the school’s alumni this week.“You will not see Bishop’s taking out ads in national newspapers or magazines trumpeting these successes as we believe that our re- DOUG MCCOOEYE University sources can be better deployed in other ways,” reads the letter humbly.“Nonetheless, we are pleased to share this good news with our graduates.” The Maclean’s magazine rankings -which, along with the National Survey on Student Engagement (NSSE) and the Globe and Mail study, is the most widely read assessment of Canadian universities - are due out next month.dm ccooeye@sh erbrookerecord.com Guy Lafleur to play hockey one last time in Sherbrooke Hockey legend Guy Lafleur’s farewell tour kicks off in Sherbrooke at the Palais des Sports on Friday October 29 at 7 p.m.Lafleur is lacing up with Canadiens alumni for the last time in a series of seven games across the province of Quebec.The tour will see some of hockey’s biggest stars face off against “The Flower” and his Habs alumni.Lafleur and Canadiens alumni face a team of Hockey Hall ofj Famers whose roster will j boast such names as Pat Lafontaine, Brian Leech, | Gilbert Perreault, Luc Ro-bitaille, Michel Goulet, and Marcel Dionne.For many children and seniors./Ufgam / L epilepsy ) yV • 'a «* yS 1 is a v:{ ¦P EPILEPSY ¦r CANADA 1-877-734.0873 | BSH FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2010 FROM 6:00 A.M.TO 8:30 A.M.NOON TO 1:00 P.M.4:00 P.M.TO 6:00 P.M.CALL 819-346-5252 TOLL FREE 1-877-686-5252 Centre hospitalier UNIVERSITAIRE DE SHERBROOKE TÏON / CBC RADIOTHON M a,Ke “this hospital ifOtArs Page 4 Thursday, October 28, 2010 Lennoxville Church newsroom@shcrbrookerccord.com The Record CORRINNA POLE St-Antoine’s church in Lennoxville to shut it’s doors after nearly 60 years of service to the community.Cont’d from Page 1 The once bustling church boasted over 300 members on the donation list, according to Blanchette, but attendance at the weekly mass had steadily declined to approximately 50.After nearly 20 years as St-Antoine’s accountant, Blanchette says he is affected by the closing.“It’s rocking me a little bit.I’ve known a lot of people and it was my pleasure to meet them all said Blanchette who also stated the estimations for the repairs were “a lot”.“We couldn’t accommodate it with the number of people attending, there’s just no hope.Even if the money was there, there are not enough people to keep paying the monthly bills.” Long time parishioner Rose Mary Cavanaugh who is also the choir leader and organist, is also saddened by St-Antoine’s slow degeneration.“It’s been our church for 38 years and now we’re losing it,” she said.“There was a time when we had three masses, one in English and two in French, but now we only have one mass week.In the past it was more bilingual.Three years ago it changed with priests who are not really bilingual so masses were given in French.” Cavanaugh says she and other English parishioners are likely to follow in the steps of St-Antoine’s other English parishioners by worshiping at St.Patrick’s Catholic Church in downtown Sherbrooke.While St.Patrick’s Father Pierre Doyon is happy to welcome new members to his flock, he pointed out St-Antoine’s situation is not unique.“It’s too bad this church is closing but it’s inevitable because when people are not practising who can maintain the cost of a big church,” he said.“Its money from the parishioners that pays for the cost of the church, the money doesn’t come from Rome.” French members of the congregation are likely to merge with one of the other three churches under the Sherbrooke dioceses; a move that Doyon says just makes sense.“In that corner the priest also works with the Immaculee-Conception, the Saint-Joseph and the Precieux-Sang churches.I think they are overwhelmed with having four churches but having small groups of parishioners in each church to keep it going.It’s not an easy situation so it makes sense to combine the parishioners in one place rather then have them spread out.” According to Doyon, the welcomed parishioners will not have a difficult time adjusting to the move and, for the time being at least, they do not have to worry about St.Pat’s suffering the same fate.“Even when St-Antoine was still active we had a lot of people coming from Lennoxville.I find its better for the English population because they will have the chance to be with friends,” said Doyon.“Over here we are very happy and very lucky.We are in a positive situation, we have good investments so we are very stable and we will be around for quite awhile." Both Blanchette and Cavanaugh believe St-An-toine’s will be sold.Sherbrooke diocese spokesperson Gaétane Larose would only state “decisions will be made in mid-November.” Other members of St-Antoine’s wardens’ committee were unavailable for comment.St-Antoine will hold its last mass on Christmas Eve followed by a final farewell gathering on January 17, 2010.Pelletier-Charette Case: pre-trial date set A pre-trial conference has been scheduled in the case of the 16-year-old accused of the abduction and forcible confinement of Réjeanne Pelletier-Charette.On November 23 defence and prosecuting lawyers will meet with the Judge to prepare the preliminary investigation and identify relevant witnesses and documents.Once the pre-trial has concluded the judges will set the date for the preliminary hearing.In addition to the abduction and forcible confinement of the 82-year-old widow who went missing last August and whose stabbed remains were found a few feet from her home, the youth involved in the case faces additional charges of theft and possession of a stolen vehicle.ill!

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday, October 28, 2010 Page 5 Coulombe accepts Jeffrey Mine purchase offer By Doug McCooeye Bernard Coulombe, president of the Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, has accepted the purchase offer made by a group of Indian investors in early October.The offer’s acceptance, announced late Tuesday, is conditional on the buyers’ ability to finish the development of the subterranean mine and to help launch the big $73 million exploitation project, scheduled to begin in 2011.It is also conditional on a $58 million loan from the Quebec government for next year’s project.Further details of the offer have not been revealed, however it is expected that, if accepted, the new investors - which Coulombe describes as a “Canadian consortium of business people that includes Indian investors” - will cover the balance of the project’s costs.“We have a deal,” confirmed Coulombe in an interview with The Record on Wednesday.“But they have to prove that they have the capacity and the dependability to sustain the mine for the long term.” The next step in the process is the submission of the offer to the Coopérative des travailleurs miniers d’Asbestos, who own the other 35-percent of the mine’s operation.Their decision will be made in a meeting of the general assembly - some 450 workers - on Sunday.“A few years ago we signed a deal that said that if I sold my share of the mine (the cooperative) would have to sell theirs too, and vice-versa,” explained the Jeffrey Mine president, noting that the new buyers would own 100-percent of the operation.Normand St-Hilaire, president of the Cooperative, has said that the group’s administrative council would recommend that the deal be accepted.“We now have in our hands a clear proposition to submit to our members that, in a very democratic fashion and with the new information obtained, they will be able to officially take a position on regarding this important transaction, which will have a big impact on their future," he said in a recent report.Coulombe believes it will take time before the deal is finalized, especially considering the controversial nature of the asbestos industry.The mine’s main extract is asbestos - a mineral that has dealt with a lot of controversy over the past few years.Anti-asbestos advocates argue that the fireproof fibre used in many construction projects is too dangerous and causes serious health problems - particularly to the lungs.The industry argues that the asbestos mined in Quebec is safe for humans, as it does not contain the Amphiboles known to cause lung diseases.“We are a little company here,” said Coulombe.“The buyers are asking a lot of questions and checking everything out.Our potential market, our business plan, making sure our site is clean and safe, things like that.They want to make sure we don’t have any skeletons in the closet.It’s understandable considering there’s a lot of opposition to our industry in Quebec.” The Quebec government is still evaluating the $58 million loan request.Coulombe has said that MNA Clément Gignac -the Minister of Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade - has been aware of the potential deal every step of the way.According to recent reports, the government plans to ask the Conférence régionale des élus de TEstrie (CRÉ) to take a position on the controversial mine before deciding on whether it will provide the loan.Coulombe estimates it will still take about two months before the investment group deal is finalized and the Quebec government makes its decision.If the $73 million exploitation project is approved, he says, it would assure the sustainability of the mine for the next 25 years, as well as create employment for nearly two thousand workers.“I’d also sign a two year deal to help with the transition of the ownership.” dmccooeye@sherbrookerecord.com Poppy campaign in Sherbrooke The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #10, Sherbrooke, is starting its annual poppy campaign this week.Until No- vemb„er IT poppies will be offered at locaf nrerchairts.^ ,.- ' - - -V”* **CCC.V% *fp.- _ „_ _^ __*' *¦06 \ GPBAT /AOMB^TS IV FOOP HIS TOPY IT LOOK *** Lift An IVtA ?eo?ue viilu - &LI$i\!

You’re likely to get an opportunity to follow Kipling’s advice about meeting “both triumph and disaster and treating those two imposters just the same.” It’ll pay to view life philosophically AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) - Financial indicators look better than usual, especially with something you consider to be a second source of income.You’ll get an opportunity to tie down what has been an elusive arrangement.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) - Your methods for doing things are likely to be better and faster than your competitor’s, but you must have the courage to put them to work.Just relax and do your thing.ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Success de- pends upon how well you define your objectives.By doing so, you will better be able to focus on your goals, giving yourself far greater chances to succeed.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -

This is one of those days when it pays to get out of the way, because you’ll actually be luckier in situations over which you have no control.Sit back and let others run the show.Thursday, Oct.28,2010 Both sides can be brilliant By Phillip Alder John W.Gardner, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare when Medicare was launched, said, “We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.” This deal gives both sides a chance to be brilliant.After West leads the spade 10, what is declarer’s best line of play, and how can the defense defeat the contract anyway?East opened four spades, hoping to silence the opponents.South, though, had a five-heart overcall, especially given the vulnerability.Let’s start with declarer.He takes the first trick, draws trumps, and leads the diamond queen, covered by the king and ace.Now there is a temptation to ruff dummy’s last spade to eliminate that suit before returning to diamonds.However, that costs the contract.The defense must take three clubs (or one diamond and two clubs).Instead, South should continue with a diamond to his 10 and a diamond to dummy’s jack.If they break 3-3, declarer discards a club on dummy’s diamond three and loses at most two clubs.When East has only two diamonds, South calls for dummy’s second spade and discards a club.Who wins this trick?If East, he is endplayed.He must ei- North 10-28-10 A 4 3 ¥ 8 6 3 2 ?A J 3 2 A K 8 7 West East A 10 5 A KQ ¥ 9 5 4 ¥ -
