THE The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 65 CENTS Tuesday, November 7, 2000 Environmentalists disrupt Magnola operations for a day PERRY BEATON/SPECIAL • §?Despite near freezing temperatures, cold winds and occasional rain, the demonstrators set up a makeshift tent, waved placards and sat on hay bales singing songs denouncing Magnola as a major polluter.Here two demonstrators express their concern about toxins infiltrating milk products.Police watched and waited By Stephen McDougall Special to The Record Asbestos Employees at the Magnola Magnesium plant were told to come to work earlier than usual Monday morning in order to avoid any confrontation with demonstrating environmentalists who blocked the plant entrance.“Our 300 employees came early and stayed all day,” said Magnola vice-president Michel Bedard.“We have an excellent cafeteria here, so they ate at the plant.” The demonstration involved about 50 members of the Collectif de Lutte aux Organochlores (Organochlo-rides fighters collective) who occupied the plant’s main entrance from Pinnacle Road to the company parking lot.Despite near freezing temperatures, cold winds and occasional rain, the demonstrators set up a makeshift tent and served hot tea from a Volkswag-on camper on the entrance road, waved placards and sat on hay bales singing songs denouncing Magnola as a major polluter.Though organizers had threatened acts of civil disobedience if they were asked to clear the entrance, no such in- cidents occurred.“If a truck comes up the road, we will sit down on the pavement and remain there until they arrest us and carry us away,” said Philippe Duhamel, head of salAMI, a group opposed to globalization of trade and commerce.“All of this will be non-violent.We don’t want to be arrested, but we’ll take it with dignity if it occurs.” As an extra precaution, Bedard said all company suppliers and contractors were asked to stay away yesterday rather than face the demonstrators.He said despite the lack of suppliers and contractors, the company’s work day was not interrupted.SEE MAGNOLA, PAGE 13-14 Language commission hears from both sides By René Bruemmer Sherbrooke Commissioners on the panel of the estates-general on the French language were presented with the two poles of the linguistic divide yesterday in Sherbrooke, with the Mouvement estrien pour le français calling for less access to English services and the Town- shippers’ Association imploring the panel to seek solutions without abandoning the rights of the province’s minority.Five commissioners of the nine-member panel were in the Townships as part of the six-week commission called by the Quebec government to look into the status and SEE COMMISSION, PAGE 5 Political Fires MAURICE CROSSFIELD Federal heritage minister Sheila Copps toured the Townships Monday, inaugurating a museum, campaigning, and donning some firefighting gear in Sutton.Brome-Missisquoi MP Denis Paradis even helped her get into firemen’s garb.\ page 2 Tuesday, November 7, 2000 ¦¦THE» Record The best gift is one from the heart Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells.Christmas is approaching.Along with the season comes the dilemma of what to give everyone on your list.But hey, Some birthday parties for friends turning 50 or 60 have given me some great ideas.Now, I don’t know if I could be quite so bold as to give someone a propane torch to “keep the flame alive”, or a nose and ear hair trimmer as one gift-giver did.But soap-on-a-rope’s back in.Not to hang on the shower head, mind you, but to hang around your neck, we were advised - so you don’t have to bend.No comment.For the hard to buy for, there are exotic vinegars or liqueurs, tickets to a cultural or sporting event, a stuffed animal (who wouldn’t like one to cuddle with when no one else is around?), a special book, a gift certificate for goods at an exclusive store or an outing at a fancy restaurant.To provide a unique and perhaps more touching present, and at the same time avoid the rush of Christmas shoppers and cut down on expense, why not create something home-made or hand-made, such as a box of favourite cookies; a little book with your special recipes to share with a loved one.If it’s hand-written, that makes it even more personal, add in a comment, saying or anecdote added here and there; or memories of escapades, milestones and ways of life from your earlier days.But I must confess, I can’t escape talking about ‘Big Mouth Billy Bass’.The strangest and funniest gift I’ve seen in a while.And the recipient doesn’t even have to be an avid fisherman to enjoy it.There are apparently both bass and trout versions of this marvel - a life-size plastic fish mount- ed on a plaque to resemble a prize catch.A little tacky looking, but this item’s claim to fame is what happens when you push the buttons at the base.Press one, and the tail flips, and the fish sings.Press another and the fish turns towards you, puckers up and switches to another tune.If memory serves me right, one of the songs is “Don’t worry, be happy.” How could anyone in need of some humour fail to break out into a grin and full-tilt laughter with this trophy around?“Isn’t it a corker, eh?” exclaimed the birthday gal as Billy Bass performed his moves.And it’s true.The fish is a “thing of an extraordinary kind.” Although I’d heard this same person use this expression in the past, I looked it up in the dictionary, several dictionaries actually, just to be sure my assumption as to its meaning was accurate.‘Corker’ is not in the Gage Canadian Dictionary.But I did find it in Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (1941 edition): “A conclusive argument, statement or fact; Also, a person or thing of an extraordinary kind.” Omega’s Concise English Dictionary (1980 edition) defines corker as “Something astounding, a whacker; a statement that puts an end to the discussion.” Billy Bass is a corker, all right.Now, if only 1 could think of someone for whom to buy him.Which counteracts my philosophy that we should be focusing on exchanging less commercially oriented, more meaningful gifts.Maybe it’s Billy’s big lips that appeal to me.Maybe that attraction would quickly wear off once he was mounted on my wall.But for now, I’m hooked! Susan Mastine Windows are a deadly beacon beckoning birds Reflective, transparent characteristics make windows dangerous Recently I read about the hazards lighted structures and windows pose to migrating birds.Many studies show that the collision of birds with human-built structures is a worldwide problem that results in the death of millions of birds each year in North America alone.Birds are killed or injured due to two main factors.The first is the lighting of structures at night, which attracts nocturnal migrants and disorients them, making them vulnerable to collisions with various obstacles.The second is windows, which surprisingly, birds in flight often cannot detect or misinterpret as open space.In recent years, the proliferation of office buildings, skyscrapers in cities around the world has created an in-cxeasing hazard to flying birds.The presence of windows, especially the large pane windows in modern buildings is dally if there are bay windows or patio doors which reflect surrounding trees.Bird Chronicle Camille Dufresne potentially hazardous during the day or night.A building in Chicago checked daily during migration seasons caused an average of 1,478 bird death’s annually.In downtown Toronto, a group of volunteers has been collecting birds killed and injured since 1993.Between 1993 and 1995, more than 100 different species were victims of office tower windows.But the problem isn’t limited to tall buildings.House windows are also deadly for birds.It is the reflective and transparent characteristics of glass which make windows so dangerous.Anyone who has feeders around their home knows about this problem, espe- Occasionally, you will find a dead bird on a window sill or actually witness a bird hitting the glass.The problem may not seem very significant but when you realize that over 65 million Americans enjoy backyard bird feeding it is easy to imagine that a large number of birds are killed or injured due to collisions with glass.So you have to make the glass visible to birds.Here are a few suggestions to reduce bird collisions and make your house safe for our feathered friends.•Cover small and medium-sized windows with netting.Make sure you leave space between the glass and netting.• Hang ribbons or other material in strips no more than five centimeters apart on the outside of windows for the full width of the glass.•Use window film which reduces the reflection and transparency of the glass but still allows you to see through your window from inside.•Make sure bird feeders are less than one meter or more than three meters away from the window.•Finally, when building a dwelling or replacing a window, install the window angled downwards so as to reflect the ground.These ideas may not completely eliminate the problem but it will reduce it and allow you to enjoy feeding birds without any worry.News from the Townships While enjoying a walk with your dog, take your binoculars along with you.It is migration season and chances are good that you will see unusual birds like the White-crowned Sparrow and the Fox Sparrow travelling with flocks of Song Sparrow and White-throated Sparrow.Weather Today: Cloudy with clear periods.Low near 1.Tuesday: Variable cloudiness.High near 9.Wednesday: Mostly sunny.Low near 1.High near 10.Thursday: Mostly cloudy with chance of showers.Low near 2.High near 9.Probability of precipitation 30 per cent.Ben by Daniel Shelton PATTY SAIP NOT 1ÜA5K0R HIS SELF* ESTEEM WOULP SUPPER.WHAT WAS IT?WOW/WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT/ I LIKE HOW YOU PREW THAT 0LUE.ER THING.ANP THIS SCRIBBLE -IT'S w .SO.GAN PA!

Record E ven without the host team playing on the final day of the CIAU women’s rugby championships, a full house watched the Alberta Pandas capture their second consecutive national title with a 28-5 win over the McGill Martlets Sunday afternoon.The Pandas, who won gold in their inaugural season last year, took top honours again with a dominant performance all weekend long.Alberta outscored their opponents 122-18 and their stay in Lennoxville culminated with a decisive victory, concluding the six-squad tournament hosted by Bishop’s University over the weekend.Combined with last weekend’s Canada West championships, Alberta has outscored their CIAU opponents 282-21 in their last eight games.The Pandas were led in the final game by Jill Harris and Stacy Crozier, who scored two tries each.Heather McDonald added the other score for Alberta.Harris, Crozier, Jaclyn McCoy, Sheraly Mounce, Heather Denkhaus, Katie Murray and Lauren Woolley, earned tournament All-Star honours as well.In the bronze medal game, which was also played Sunday, the Waterloo Warriors edged their Ontario conference rivals, the Guelph Gryphons, 15-10, to capture third place honours.For the host Bishop’s Gaiters, the women’s rugby squad held their own as they took on the best rugby teams from across Canada.The women’s rugby team ended their season on a high note as they played their hearts out in the national championships on campus this past weekend.The Gaiters lost all three games but never stopped fighting until the final whistle blew an end to Saturday’s fifth place game versus St.Francis Xavier University.The program took a giant step forward on the weekend as the Purple and White battled the best teams in the country and came out fired up and unafraid.The Gaiters gained confidence and played with pride in front of their hometown fans.After losing their tournament opener 8-7 to Waterloo, the Gryphons bounced.back with a solid 17-0 win over the host Gaiters on Friday afternoon.Bishop’s, which finished with a 2-6 regular season record, played their best game of the season in front of an enthusiastic crowd.Throughout the game, the Gaiters took on the heavily favoured Guelph side but couldn’t get on the scoreboard.The Gryphons, who led by five points at the half, took advantage of scoring opportunities when they presented themselves as Nat Bendavid, Christine Nobes, and Lindsay Bernrot scored tries.In game two of the championships, Waterloo was in control of the whole game building up a 34-0 halftime lead, then coasting in the second half.The Gaiter defense had a solid second period, however, and curtailed the Warriors’ attack the rest of the way.Against St.F-X, the Gaiters posted their first points of the tournament in a 40-3 loss to the X-Women.Nobody expected the Gaiters to even have a chance in this tournament but the team represented themselves admirably.They fought through the cuts, bruises and the aches and pains of playing three games in two days and, in the eyes of all that were present, demonstrated the toughness and character of true winners.They lived up to what the essence of university sport is all about.Cougar

Mrs.Carr of Bury received the following letter from her son, “Somewhere in France” My Dear Mother: A few lines to let you know I am alive and well, and hope this will find you all the same.We are in rest billets now, and I have a little spare time in the evenings, so I spend it writing letters.I said I feel well, but 1 do not feel like I did at home.I am nearly played out, and although we are in rest billets, we have to drill all day, and when we are in the trenches there is no rest at all.I have been for three or four days at a time that I never closed my eyes, and the weather is very hot, and there is as much as two weeks at a time I have never had any of my clothes off, not even my shoes, so you can see how I feel, I am about all in.I have been in a battle since I wrote you last, but had good luck, came out without a scratch, but the battlefield is an awful place - it is hell alright.There was a number killed at each side of me.It makes one feel pretty timid to see a man killed right beside you, and you can’t stop to see if there is a chance for him to live or not, but one soon gets used to it.Well I can say that I have put two or three out of business any way.There was a bunch of them came out of a dug-out, and we were right there to greet them.There were three of them to one of us, but that did not matter, not one of them got free.Well mother, I am in hopes to be home for next Christmas, but there is a lot of hardship ahead of us before that times comes.But we must smile and bear it all.We are pretty happy bunch for what we have to go through; we march to the front line singing and passing jokes all the time, not knowing the minutes we will be put out of business.Thanks for the nice cakes.From your loving son.Pte.E.Carr.Sherbrooke Daily Record, August 28,1917 Pte.Edwin Carr, Bury, dies of wounds Bury, Aug.28 -

daughter team of Dara Brown and Andrea Verville.The guest speaker of the Canadian Club of the Yamaska Valley for October’s meeting was Dr.Michel Chretien of Loeb Health Research Institute, Ottawa Hospital.He resembled and sounded like his brother, our Prime Minister, was very informative and humourous.President Ruth Dunn opened the meeting, asked for a moment’s silence in honour of former P.M.Pierre Elliot Trudeau.Barbara McGibbon introduced Dr.Chré-tion who spoke about Aids, Alzeimers obesity (climbing 18 steps in better than walking a k.m.) and diabetes (congratulating patients for monitoring themselves, which is not an easy chore).John Elson thanked our speaker and presented him with a token gift of maple products.One funny story he’d told us was about something that took place during his early career when he’d been asked to speak to about 200 mainly nasty students (his words).They kept shouting “louder” to him, so he made the effort and after a few moments asked, “Is this better?” A reply came, “It’s louder but not better!” page 18 Tuesday, November 7, 2000 iTHEi Women’s Missionary Fellowship of Grace Chapel Monday evening, Oct.23rd the Women’s Missionary Fellowship held their regular monthly meeting with Edna Walker’s group in charge.Edna welcomed all and especially the girls from Word of Life Bethel who whould be sharing with us their testimonies as to what the Lord meant to them and why they were at Word of Life Bethel.With Dale Dijkstra at the piano we sang “What a Friend We have in Jesus.” June Taylor gave the Treasurer’s report and read two thank you notes from those who had received gifts from the WMF.Marianne Boulet was the first girl to come and give her testimony.She told us how her father had heard the good news of salvation and when he told them about it she didn’t want to hear any of it.At one stage when she was 12 or 13 she even wanted to die but later attended a Christian School and after a time the joy of the Lord came back to her.She started studying at Word of Life in January and will soon finish her year’s course and will go back home.Two of the girls rendered a musical number with Karen at the piano and Amelie playing the cello.Cassandra read the words to the piece before they played.Amelie then gave her testimony saying she had been brought up in a Christian family and had attended church and Sunday School regularly trusting the Lord at the age of six.She didn’t understand everything at that age but gradually over the years understood what it meant to belong to the Lord and was baptized.Later she decided that she should spend a year at Word of Life Bethel to know more about the Scriptures.At this point all stood and we sang “Standing on the promises of God.” Cards had been prepared with the girls’ pictures, birthday and home town so that each lady present took one or two cards and promised to pray for those girls and keep in touch whenever possible.Jocelyn Michaud who is from St.Leonard, N.B.was not born into a Christian family.Her father was an alcoholic and all through her young years the family had many problems.She was not a happy child and everything seemed to be against her.One day the Lord sent people her way and she learned about the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ and that He had died for her.She never felt she had any friends then someone sug- gested she come to Word of Life and she is finding friends and is now able to smile and be happy.She now feels that God has a perfect plan for her life and that her year at Word of Life will be a spiritual blessing to her and she will learn much more about the Lord.The girls then came forward as a group to sing “Our God is an Awesome God.” After this Yvonne told us about her childhood and how that she was born into a Catholic home.One day her father heard the Gospel message and trusted the Lord.Later her mother also trusted the Lord so that life in the home was completely changed.Her father read the Bible to them as children and often talked to them about the Lord asking them if they would like to trust Him.Finally one day at age six she did trust the Lord but only later at about 12 she began to read the Bible for herself and to understand more of what God had done for her when He sent the Lord Jesus Christ to die in her place to save her from her sins.She now understood that she would be going to heaven not because of anything that she had done but because of what the Lord Jesus Christ had done when He died on the Cross.Virginia Strout brought to our attention some of the special needs of Bethel i.e.financial needs of the girls many of whom do not have the full year’s tuition and are looking to the Lord for ways and means of providing the necessary funds to complete their year.For their mid-term break as many will go home while others will spend the time with friends.November 17th they will participate in “Midnight Madness” when they will gather in Longueil and spend the night with other young people singing, listening to the Word etc.In spring their trip to Florida when they will talk to people on the beach, sing, do mimes, etc.Snow Camps.Students and Staff priorities in their lives.Mark and Laurie Strout who are in Pennsylvania studying for a year.Time was then spent in prayer for the students and staff at Word of Life Bethel and all the various activities through the year.A happy time of fellowship followed over refreshments when all had an opportunity to meet the girl whose card she had taken and to get to know some of their needs and aspirations.Doris I.Pitman After all History of Stanstead County School Fair The trees are all barren of leaves Their branches, by the cold light of A stark harvest moon Are twisted and gnarled Off in the distance An animal snarls The scarecrow seems eerie By the seepish white glow And beckons and flaps By the breezes that blow And leaves fly in clusters Near the traces of snow I can almost envision Spectres in this place and that There arises an uncanny laugh Must be the tricksters out back It’s quite easy to see How in days of old Our minds and eyes could Play tricks with our souls Yes, we’re all so terribly hip And immediately claim My mind’s playing tricks on me But I wonder Couldn’t any of The old stories of ghosts And ghouls be real?After all it is Halloween By Steve Lamb As the Stanstead County School Fair has been abolished, the following is a short history of the Fair.Before I write about our School Fair, may I give you a brief history of the beginning of school fairs in Quebec.In 1912 Macdonald College appointed a number of Demonstrators (later called agronomes) dt a few central points in Quebec English districts.Around the same time the Quebec Department of Agriculture started with a few Agronomes in the French districts.In 1914 the Macdonald Demonstrators started School Fairs under the direction of the Macdonald Extension Service.In 1916 the Quebec Department of Agriculture took over agricultural offices that had been started by Macdonald, but the School Fairs were continued under the supervision of Macdonald and the Department of Agriculture supplied the seeds.Throughout the years the Women’s Institutes played a very important part in the organizing of the School Fairs, in the English sections, and the School Boards were very co-operative in this work as well.One cannot mention school fairs without mentioning the many years of dedication given to them by W.G.McDougall, an agronome stationed in Lennoxville.He was instrumental in starting School Fairs, 4-H Clubs, and ¦1! ISlIlSIl BBi— HHHRNmHI the Sheep Breeders Association.For years he organized and participated in the School Fairs in the area.The first School Fair in Stanstead County was held in 1917.In the beginning the Fair was held on a Friday, but in 1959, it changed to a Saturday with the parents bringing the children and their exhibits.Seeds and fertilized eggs were given by the Department of Agriculture.In 1921, 280 pupils took seeds.The students were to hatch the eggs, and then exhibit eggs from the hatched chickens.They also exhibited pigs, sheep and hens until 1961.In a 1987 “Stanstead Journal,” Stanstead farmer Douglas Johnston says he remembers being a proud competitor in 1923 and ’24.“Taking part in the exhibits was the most important part of the Fair for me,” he said.The winners of 1923 weren’t given money either.They’d give out livestock.I won a cockerel and six pullets.Later in the early ’40s Gwen Parker, a past President of QWI and member of Lennoxville W.I., taught school in our area, and remembers riding to the Fair in the back seat which she shared with a sheep.The proud exhibitor and his father were up front! The children were also given seeds for oats, wheat and barley.Nora Deacon Pocock recalls riding to the Fair in 1919, in a horse drawn express wagon, with several of her class mates.Bond Little, whose son Robert Little, was one of her class mates, brought the children to the Ayer’s Cliff Fair grounds.She has retained many fond memories, from the traditional family gathering, both as a participant and mother of a participant.Bicycle races were held up until 1956 and there were machinery demonstrations and judging competitions for livestock until 1957.In 1957 the Stanstead County Women’s Institute started buying the seeds.In 1976 the School Fair became a two-day affair.The exhibits were brought to the school on the first day, and the pupils came by bus the second day.At one time W.I.members conducted sewing classes, at the Fair and they were judged, but as time went on not enough girls were interested.Cooking, photography and many handicrafts were also added.There were ‘Reach for the Top’ contests, and the winning school was presented with a trophy from The Record.In 1978 W.G.McDougall was presented with a trophy for 61 years of service to the School Fair, and had only missed one fair.The money for the trophy was collected from the four participating schools.In 1957, two large trophy cups were purchased, one for the girls and one for the boys.The name of the winner for each was engraved on the cup, and remained in their school for the year, they were each given a minature cup to keep.At a recent County meeting it was decided to place the cups, along with the W.G.McDougall trophy in the Colby-Curtis Museum.Aileen Lord ¦ THE-ii Record Tuesday, November 7, 2000 page 19 Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum society Our October meeting came early, on the sixteenth and we walked by summer flower beds all tidied up for autumn, and leaves still falling about us.President Burton McConnell was in the chair and secretary Janice read the minutes from the spring meeting.Burton called our attention to the display in the library of pictures of the Cenotaph’s transfer to its new site.They had been shown at Townshippers’ Day.He also told us Muriel Brand, past president, was back from Ontario and in the hospital.Marion Greenlay, treasurer, expressed satisfaction with donations toward the collections.Marina Tracy announced the Victorian Tea would be held on December 2, and on a motion proposed and accepted, the time was set for 2 - 4:30 p.m.There followed a short discussion on the proposal to formally name Highway 55 the Taylor - Bombardier Highway, and by a show of hands so recommended.Lisa Delisle sent notice of an upcoming bilingual embroidery workshop, on Saturday from 9-12 a needlepoint workshop for $25, materials included, noting also an offer of needlepoint for an exhibition, and a Spooky Tea on October 29 from 1 to 4, for $5 for tea and “ghoulish goodies.” The president then introduced our guest speaker, Jim Belknap, retired bridge builder in a family of builders, and interested in local history.The subject was William Best who was born in Lennoxville in 1856 and died in Coaticook in 1934 and is buried in the Malvern Cemetery with others of his family.A portion of his working life was spent in the United States where he is celebrated as a hero in Minnesota for his role at the time of the great Hinckley fire.As a young man, Best had gone west and worked for a mining company in California.By the 1890’s he was working for a railroad in the mid west and was the engineer on a train sent south toward Hinckley, Minnesota, on September 1, 1894 to rescue citizens threatened by a raging fire that was burning stumps and branches where a vast area of forest had been clear cut.By 3:25 in the afternoon when the train arrived, the southern end of town was already on fire.They just managed to take on water and hook a freight engine on to the train when about five hundred people clambered aboard.A few more were picked up on the way as they travelled in reverse and across nineteen bridges north to Superior.Many others lost their lives behind them.The varnish was burnt off the coaches and Best, the engineer, was temporarily blinded.Best returned to work later, and in 1903 moved to Winnipeg and was engineer for the CNR until he retired in the 1920’s.He was active throughout in the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, saw the American and Canadian unions separate and the Canadian accept all train workers.In 1929 he and his wife, Marcia Cummings, moved to Coaticook where he died in 1934.Back in Minnesota the men who saved so many of the citizens of Hinckley are honoured in the Hinckley Fire Museum, (16,000 visitors a year), books have been written about the fire, and Best Avenue is a permanent reminder of the heroic Canadian train engineer of more than a century ago.Jim Belknap told us about following the story of William Best after his interest was caught, and that he had been in contact with the Hinckley Fire Museum whose director hoped Best was recognized in the country of his birth as well as at the site of his heroism.He has been told that the criterion for official recognition in Canada for an heroic act is that it must have oc- '¦fcxoti*» star PHOTO AUDREY FROST Jim Belknap brings story of Lennoxville bom herd to members of Lennoxville Ascot Historical and Museum Society -
