The Sherbrooke Curling Club will be a busy place this week as teams from all over Quebec meet in a provincial mixed tournament.Starting today at 9 a.m.through to the finals Saturday evening, teams from places like Mauricie, Saguenay Lac St-Jean and Outaouais will challenge each other for a shot at the nationals.Representing the Estrie region is a curling club from Danville that recently won a regional tournament.Despite only being together as a team for a short while their chemistry may be right for a provincial title.The team has only been able to practice together 12 times in preparation for the tournament but they swept through the Estrie regionals without a loss and met hardly any competition at all."It’s our first year together and I think we have a good chance,” team member Vittoria Daoust said.“We’re a The Estrie region is represented by lead Sandra Edwards, second Richard Webb, third Vittoria Daoust and skip Paul Lodge.They will be trying to win the provincial mixed curling championship, the bonspiel runs all week at the Sherbrooke Curling Club.photo: perry beaton good team on paper but curling is played on the ice.” Daoust has been to the curling nationals in a college league.At the nationals she took first prize as best skip in the tournament.On the mixed team though she will be third.This is her third provincial mixed tournament.“I skipped for 15 years, and that’s basically how I got it,” said Paul Lodge, the Danville skip.“And a guy usually skips anyway.” “Yes, it’s a guy thing,” Daoust added.“It might change later, years from now, but there’s no law that says a male has to be the skip in a mixed tournament.Normally that’s the way it’s done.” Daoust is from Sherbrooke, Lodge from Danville, second Richard Webb from Danville and lead Sandra Edwards from Lennoxville.“The team Danville rink carries Townships flag at bonspiel Health board cuts enough for now SHERBROOKE (PC) - Regional health boards are safe from the provincial governments budget axe, at least for another year.In a meeting late last week, Health Minister Jean Rochon told the directors of health boards across Quebec that the trimming they had done to their respective budgets would suffice.Initially Rochon had asked the 18 regional health boards to collectively chop another $100 million from the healthcare system which is still smarting from the $290 million cuts made last year.The board directors could only come up with approximately $33 million including $300,000 from the Estrie regional health board.“Mr.Rochon said he was very satisfied with what the health boards were able to come up with,” said Diane Roy, the Estrie board president.“He said he realized that we were not able to cut any more than we have already.” The Estrie regional board already has $18 million cut from its budget in June and another $500,000 increment demanded in July.Last week, the Estrie directors voted to cut money from budgets earmarked for specific programs in areas like mental health, drug and alcohol abuse, and lodging cancer patients.They also found $150,000 that the provincial government had paid twice for an anglophone day centre.Faulty heating system suspected Carbon monoxide poisoning claims elderly East Angus couple By Paul Cherry SHERBROOKE - An elderly married couple were found dead in their house in East Angus Thursday night and the Quebec Police Force says they might be the victims of a poorly installed heating system.“There was nothing at the house to indicate that a violent crime occurred,” Quebec Police Force spokesperson Cst.Serge Dubord said.On Friday, the QPF confirmed that the couple Alexandre Labreque, 78, and Lucille Bureau, 79, had died of carbon monoxide poisoning.High levels of the gas was found in both bodies by the medical examiners at the laboratory in Montreal that performed the autopsy.Dubord said the QPF is investigating the possibility that a heating system the couple just had installed this past summer caused the their death.Dubord said the heating system had been checked out after one of the two complained about it acting up last week.The couple’s bodies were discovered late Thursday night by their son, Yvon, his wife Berthe, and a neighbor, René Fontaine.Dubord said the couples’ daughter-in-law had driven by the house Wednesday evening and found it strange that both the house lights and outdoor Christmas lights were off.She drove home and phoned the house and got a busy signal.On Thursday both Yvon and Berthe Labreque drove by the house only to find the lights off again.They asked Fontaine if he had seen the couple recently and he said he had not.Yvon Labreque and Fontaine forced their way into the house through a locked door and found Alexandre slumped in a chair.Bureau was found on the dining room floor.The couples’ two pet birds were also dead in their cages.Dubord said Yvon Labreque could smell propane gas.The couple did not have a carbon monoxide warning meter which is recommended as a safety precaution for homes that use gas heating.The QPF and the East Angus police are still investigating the apparent accident and are focusing on the installation of the heating system. The RECORD - Monday, December 2, 1996 - 2 A bad winter means bad news for Bambi Even though more than 14.000 whitetails were killed in the annual madness of the last few weeks, the big winners once again seem to be the deer themselves.Strange but true.Some 45,000 big game hunters trod the Eastern Townships woods this fall.They enjoyed a success rate of about one in three - highest in the province, outrating even that rich-boy, poor-shot’s heaven, Anticosti Island.Rather than worrying about it, government biologists responded Friday by saying the hunters should have shot another 4000 deer or so.Quebec’s Conservation branch estimates the total deer population to be about 120.000 in zones 4, 5 and 6, the three Townships wildlife management districts.But in some neighborhoods, the density of whitetails is rising past the nuisance level.I , : Charles Bury As well as causing traffic accidents and spoiling gardens, the deer may end up starving themselves by running out of food.To prevent this, the Ministry of Environment and Wildlife Conservation wants to bring the maximum deer density down to about 10 per square kilometre from the current post-hunt 12, and the 14 per square-km expected after next spring’s fawns are born.To do this, the ministry opened an extra post-season for hunting does and fawns with bows and muzzle-loading rifles.The female and young deer are generally thought to be an easier ‘kill’ than your usual wily buck, but it didn’t quite work that way somehow.During the extra three days, only 836 deer were reported killed.What does it mean?That depends on the winter.If Mother Nature is gentle, it means there will be more deer out there next year, browsing on your cedar hedge and looking for a bumper to bang on.A bad winter on the other hand means bad news for Bambi.There are already too many deer for the countryside to support without a clement winter.That means cold, starvation, weakness, death at the jaws of a predator.Or worse.Conservation officials said the poor results of the extra hunt may have been because the weather was poor, because the hunt was during the week and because the muzzle-loader is only beginning to come back after more than a hundred years away.They say they’ll try again next year to better balance human habits and wildlife habitat.Now I’m going to get some of my hunting friends real angry.The plain fact is that none of you are good enough to hunt with a single-shot rifle.You shouldn’t be allowed.Why?No second shot.Think about it.Why do you suppose they invented the repeater?Recharging the front-end loader takes you way too long.At its colonial peak, the British Army of the 18th and 19th centuries expected its best-trained grenadiers and riflemen to get off three muzzle-loaded shots a minute.One shot per 20 seconds was all one could expect.It’s the same today.There’s no way to do it any faster.But don’t you know how far a wounded deer can run in 20 seconds?A heck of a long way, even if it’s bleeding and even in the woods.Far enough to hide forever.Far enough to turn off a humane hunter.And which way did it go?How could you watch it while you were fumbling for your powder and - dare I say it - grasping at your balls?Changes in divorce rules Legal-aid lawyers back striking colleagues SHERBROOKE (RB) -Members of the Eastern Townships legal aid union announced Saturday that they partly support a strike by their private practice colleagues.“We agree that the reforms which impose mediation in family matters risk drowning clients rather than helping them,” the union said in a press release.“Most often, our clients are divorced women who find themselves unprovided for after the break-up of their marriage.” “Many of these women are not in a position to negotiate on an equal basis with their spouses,” say the legal-aid lawyers.“The role of a mediator is not necessarily to protect each person’s interests, but rather to reach an agreement.The weakest party risks hav- ing to pay the price of that agreement.” Lawyers in several regions of Quebec have been striking over the last two weeks to protest reforms which will reduce eligibility for legal aid, and would force divorcing couples to seek counsel from a government-appointed mediator.The Syndicat des avocates et avocats de l’aide juridique de l’Estrie noted that since reforms were passed last September limiting eligibility for legal aid, there has been a large decrease in demand for services, and three out of four people who applied for aid were refused.“It is clear that the repercussions for those people who can’t afford aid are worse than the Justice Ministry had announced,” the union said.“A re-examination of of the situation is absolutely neces- sary.The legal aid union noted that its members were not in agreement with their private colleagues on the issues of legal aid payment reform, which will start in January, nor are they involved in the current spate of protests and walkouts.Lawyers who work for the legal aid bureau will continue to serve those clients who are eligible for legal aid.Inside Ann Landers .16 Births and Deaths .13 Classified.14-15 Comics.17 Crossword .16 Editorial.6 Entertainment.9 Farm and Business .8 Living.10 Sports .18-19 C2 PANlEli e-y shot«1 Regional forecast Low High Sherbrooke Heavy Rain 6 9 Thetford Heavy Rain 5 8 Cowansville Rain 6 8 Richmond Rain 6 8 Stanstead Heavy Rain 7 9 Lac Megantic f Heavy Rain 6 8 I FEEL H0RRI5LE, I THINK I'M COMING P0WN WITH SOMETHING CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING?POYOU NEEP A HANP7 ARE « YOU OKAY?Record a division of Quebecor Communications Inc.2850 Delorme, Sherbrooke, Que.J1K 1A’ 819-569-9511 819-569-9525 Fax 819-569-3945 Member ABC, CARD, CDNA, NMB, QCNA 819-569-9511 Susan C.Mastine, Community Rel.819-569-9511 Charles Bury, Exec.Editor.819-569-6345 Sharon McCully, Editor.819-569-6345 Dwane Wilkin, Chief Correspondent 819-569-6345 Alain Tétreault, Adv.Dir.819-569-9525 Richard Lessard, Prod.Mgr .819-569-9931 Departments Accounting.819-569-9511 Advertising.819-569-9525 Circulation .819-569-9528 Editorial .819-569-6345 Knowlton office .514-242-1188 Home & Mail subscriptions Canada: 1 year 104.00 6 months 52.00 3 months 26.00 GST PST TOTAL 7.28 7.23 $118.51 3.64 3.62 $59.26 1.82 1.81 $29.63 Out of Quebec residents do not include PST.Rates for other services available on request.Back copies of The Record ordered one week after publication are available at $1 00 per copy.Established February 9, 1897, incorporating the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) and the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879).The Record is published daily Monday to Friday by The Record Division, Quebecor Communications Inc.Offices and plant located at 2850 Delorme Street, Sherbrooke, Quebec, J1K 1A1.Canadian Publications Mail Service Product Agreement No.0479675. The RECORD - Monday, December 2, 1996 - 3 Townships 'Idea is to take away the sense of intimidation’ - director New youth employment centre is anglo-friendly Marie Malovoy cuts the ribbon with Serge Auray and Renée L.Beaupré, vice-president and president of the youth centre.I K Ü s «Mÿg r K v mill By Paul Cherry SHERBROOKE - A new youth employment centre has opened in Sherbrooke with an objective to help out young people who are looking for jobs.The Carrefour Jeunesse Emploi (CJE) will offer counselling to people who are having trouble finding a job or for those about to start a career but aren’t sure where to begin.The CJE will serve the municipalities of Sherbrooke, Fleurimont, Lennoxville, Ascot, Ascot Corner, Rock Forest, St-Elie, Deauville, Brompton Township and Bromptonville.The provincial government estimates there are 51,500 people aged between 16 and 35 in these areas, with 8000 of them on unemployment insurance or welfare.The centre has a budget of more than $450,000 to work with in the next nine months.The provincial government has contributed $285,000 to that total.The entire team at the CJE is bilingual.That was the criteria for hiring employees: receptionists and counsellors should be able to guide anglophones through the maze.Carol Bower, of the Townshippers’ Association, is a director on the youth centre’s administrative council.Her job on the board is to make anglophones have access to the centre’s services.“There is an awareness that there is a need to reach out to the anglophone community and to reach out to anglophone organizations that serve anglophone youth like the Eastern Townships School Board,” Bower said.The Club de recherche d’emploi also offers job search programs in English.“My sincere hope is that anglophone youth will come to the centre and feel welcome to ask for help, they should.” Searching for a job is tough for anyone, but for anglophones the maze of red tape to get a government service can be confusing.‘The whole idea of the centre is to take away the sense of intimidation,” Bower said.“It’s geared towards those people who view government organizations as a huge maze and impossible to understand.” Bower also said she is going to make sure documentation is available in both languages.She expects at least two anglophones to be members of a youth advisory committee the centre will be forming soon, but also stresses the importance for anglophones to learn French.“Without a certain level of bilingualism anyone is going to have difficulty getting jobs here.To get a job in the Sherbrooke area a person has to have a good working knowledge of French,” she said.Not all the services at the centre are anglophone-friendly.The computer data base software at the centre is in French only but Bower says that won’t be a problem.The centre will direct anglophones to the ETSB adult education centre’s database in English.Bower said that besides offering counselling they also will be pointing people towards a variety of government and community services that will help them in their job search.The centre will also be hooked up the Internet which means people can browse in any language they want.The centre’s staff also does a follow-up to find out how suc- SHERBROOKE - The Townshippers’ Association will host its career opportunity program again this year.The program, Our Region, Our Future, is an effort to reverse the exodus of anglophone youth from the Eastern Townships.The goal of the program is to show young people the opportunities that exist in the region and promote entrepreneurship.Organizers were disappointed by a low participation rate for last year’s program, the first of its kind.However, the program was not without its successes.One participant moved back to the Townships after a 10-year absence.A post-secondary student was cessful people were in getting access to government services.‘They’re not just referred and then let go, the centre will follow their progress,” Bower said.“This is supposed to also be a place where young people can share their problems and/or road blocks they’re meeting while they are looking for a job.” One thing that makes the centre unique to other employment services is if the service a person needs doesn’t exist it will be created.The centre could potentially open up the government services with limited access.“Let’s take, for example, an organization like IDEE that develops entrepreneurial skills.They don’t offer their services unless a person is on employment insurance,” Bower said.“The CJE could purchase the services of IDEE to send a young adult there.” Sherbrooke MNA Marie Malavoy attended the centre’s linked to a mentor to help develop an entrepreneurial idea to be pursued after graduation.Townshippers’ plans on making the career search program available over a period of five years.This year Our Region, Our Future will take place in the Brome-Missisquoi MRC.It will involve three weekend sessions between January and March 1997.Approximately 15 people between the ages of 18 and 30, who are in the process of becoming qualified for the job market (through secondary or post-secondary education) are being recruited.Participants will return to the region to official opening.She said that after the PQ’s party conference last weekend, the party is ready to focus on lowering the province’s high unemployment rate.Quebec’s unemployment rate remains one the highest in Canada at 12.4 per cent.The national average is 10 per cent and by comparison Ontario’s is 9.1 per cent.Only the Maritime provinces are going through worse unemployment conditions than Quebec.On the positive side the numbers of jobs in Quebec has remained steady over the past two months.“We now have two priorities, our first one is to get rid of the deficit,” Malavoy said adding that the government can’t spend huge sums to bring down the unemployment numbers while it tries to reach a zero deficit by the year 2000.“With projects like the Centre Jeunesse Emploi I think we are working on the economy in a parallel way." learn about its economic, social and historical qualities and to meet local entrepreneurs and employers.Participants, who originally from the Brome-Missisquoi region, are being sought.The Townshippers’ Association also needs partners to help in the organizing and financing of the three weekends.They are seeking individuals, businesses and organizations in the MRC of Brome-Missisquoi who have an interest in seeing the region develop economically.For more information contact the Townshippers’ Ascot office at 819-566-5717 or its Cowansville office at 514-263-4422.Townshippers’ encourages youth to stay in the region Couple survives close encounter with flying log COWANSVILLE - Three days after the car she was riding in was struck by a flying log, Tamara Hamelin still trembles when she thinks what could have happened.Hamelin and her husband were heading home to Mansonville just after dark last week when their car was struck by a stray log after a truck carrying logs passed them on the road going in the opposite direction.“We heard a loud bang and at first we didn’t know what hit us,” Hamelin said.“The truck kept right on going, even though we had a flat tire and a broken headlight from a log that flew off the truck FOUND HUBCAP The couple searched and found the missing hubcap which had fallen off during the impact.“We brought the car to the garage and the mechanic picked pieces of wood out of the tire,” she said.Hamelin said the log that struck the car was about the length of the car windshield and would undoubtedly have killed the couple had it bounced a few feet higher.Equally shocking to Hamelin was the response of police.“It was dark and it happened so fast we couldn’t get the license number of the truck, so the police said there is nothing they can do about • a *» Hamelin said the accident occurred after three trucks travelling together near a tree farm in Mansonville passed the car making it impossible to say which one the log fell from.“One of the trucks had the top lights and was loaded with logs, but another one had loose wood and scrap.” she said.Hamelin said she is disturbed bv what seems to be the lack of monitoring of trucks carrying loads that could be dangerous.“They shouldn’t just be allowed to throw anything on the back of a truck, or pile it as high as they like." Hamelin said following the close call, she wants to make others aware of the dangers. Townships 4 - The RECORD - Monday, December 2, 1996 Bicentennial book will chronicle residents9 roots it, * mm ¦ *!M Family histories all part of Georgeville’s flavor By Sunil Mahtani MAGOG - What is a family?Is it simply one’s parents, siblings and relatives?Is it a group of people living or working under the same roof?Is it a clan bound together by race, religion, name or history?For the residents of Georgeville, family is anyone who has lived under the same stretch of sky and called the hamlet home.Georgeville residents are forever united in their common love for the village, their appreciation of its surrounding beauty and their need for serenity.Georgeville’s bicentennial committee is giving present and former residents a chance to express their thoughts and feelings about the village and write their very own page in history.Copp’s Legacy: A Family History of Georgeville will be published next year.It will contain an overall history of the village, its settlement, pioneering families and institutions.However, committee member David Cox said it differs significantly from other published histories of Georgeville.“The primary focus of this publication is to provide individual families with the opportunity to participate by writing their own family histories,” said Cox, who lives close to Georgeville.The book will provide a chance for people to leave their stories behind for future generations.“Each family’s own personality will come through in what they've written,” added committee member Maureen Cameron.“There’s not a set format for each family to do.There’s lots of flavor in the book because everybody has a different story, a different way of telling things.” The committee’s goal is to feature the stories and photographs of at least 100 families, whose personal histories are inextricably entwined with that of Georgeville’s.To date, they have commitments from more than 90 families and have set a Dec.31 deadline for submissions.The self-sustaining project is w' This photo, of a picnic in Georgeville in 1909, is the kind to be featured in the hamlet’s bicentennial book.being financed by the families themselves.Each participant pays $60 for their page of text and photos.While each of the families featured in the book will receive a free copy, additional books will be sold for $30.Cox said they are looking for two kinds of stories.“We’re looking at the more long-established families to describe their roots, their genealogy as it relates to Georgeville, but we’ve also encouraged what we’ve described as first-generation citizens of Georgeville to participate as well,” he said.“It’s not the long historical background but in that case we’re encouraging them to talk about what attracted them to Georgeville in the first place.Their stories will be more anecdotal than historical.” Cameron said a feeling of family is certain to come across in the book.“One of the things the book is going to end up reflecting is the fact of how Georgeville comes together in a time Penny McTavish, Barbara Gibson, Maureen Cameron and David Cox.Georgeville bicentennial book committee go over plans.of need,” she said.“For example, there was a family that had a fire shortly after they moved and one of the reasons they’re going into the book is to tell the story of how everybody pitched in and helped out.So I think it’s going to show the special flavor of Georgeville.” Moses Copp was the first to be attracted by the rich landscape surrounding Georgeville in 1787, when he and his family became the first residents there after helping to settle Bolton Township.The New Hampshire explorer came to Canada in 1783.The village is named after Copp’s first son George who, in turn, was named after George Fitch of Fitch Bay.Although permanent residency in Georgeville hovers around 150 today, the mountainous hamlet lures more than 800 people to its core in the summertime.People keep coming back even after they’ve moved far away.This was the case for Cox.After working in Vancouver, B.C.for a number of years, he moved to Magog when he retired a decade ago simply to be close to Georgeville.“My social orientation is in Georgeville,” he said.“My friends are in Georgeville.We go to the social events in Georgeville, we participate in community activities in Georgeville and that’s true of a lot of people who, strictly speaking, don’t live in the village.” Georgeville native Cameron said it is a state of mind.“I feel the mountains and the lake are all part of my energy and I used to feel when I was away from home, I had to come back and recharge,” she said.“Periodically your batteries run low and you have to come back and get energized and 1 think that’s the way a lot of people feel.You can come here and be yourself and be relaxed and forget about the cares of the world for awhile.” She added that people take what they need from Georgeville.“Some people come to hide and not be seen for months and months on end and other people come looking for stimulation.” Not-so-trivial pursuits for locals include participating in the ski club, choir, theatrical productions and historical society.Cameron said Georgeville’s cultural mix is another source of pride for residents.“Our francophone families and our anglophone families all get along as one,” she said.“There’s no distinction.You never think that family so-and-so are francophone or they’re English or whatever else they might be.” True to its population, Georgeville’s bicentennial book will contain histories in both official languages.Cameron said families who have not as yet expressed a desire to be included in the book should seriously consider it.“It’s important to have our families recorded,” she said.“This is life.This is history.Fifty years down the road, it will be nice to know that these people were living here and what they were doing.” Committee member Penny McTavish said people don’t realize the importance of their family history.“So many people say, T don’t really have a story or my family’s not important’, but they are.” For more information on the Georgeville bicentennial book or to obtain an enrollment

The RECORD - Monday, December 2, 1996 - 5 Local briefs Little change in vacancy rate SHERBROOKE - According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the number of available apartments for rent this year edged up only slightly despite a highly active market.Over the last year the number of vacant units in the Sherbrooke area edged up from 6.2 per cent to 6.6 per cent, an increase of about 80 apartments, says the federal Crown corporation.But according to the CMHC several thousand former tenants left the rental market this year to become homeowners.They were quickly replaced by people entering the rental market.Drummondville registered the lowest vacancy rate in the Eastern Townships, at 3.6 per cent.Thetford Mines and Cowansville registered the highest vacancy rates, at 8.5 per cent and 9.9 per cent - a slight improvement over last year.Province-wide the vacancy rate was six per cent.The cost of lodging increased slightly over the last year, with a two-bedroom apartment in Sherbrooke costing on average $426 per month, up $4 from last year.CORRECTION !!!!

capacity and routes have always been regulated in the North.Canadian Airlines president Kevin Benson has said repeatedly that unanimous agreement from ail unions, including the holdout Canadian Auto Workers representing 3,700 ticket agents, is a component that’s crucial to having a restructuring proposal fly with creditors.Leaders of five of the company’s six unions have agreed to a sliding scale of wagâe cuts for employees.But the Auto Workers, under leader Buzz Hargrove, made two things clear at a weekend union meeting in Vancouver: it won’t accept wage cuts and it wants the federal government to step in with cash and measures to end destructive competition in the air travel sector.The union will explain its stance to its members today.Marnie McCall of the Consumers’ Association of Canada says her agency is not in favor of government intervention, including to help Canadian, “except as a last resort, or if market forces don’t function effectively.” Tae Ouni, management professor at the University of British Columbia, points out that the market Canadian Airlines serves will still be there, if Canadian goes down."I hope Canadian doesn’t go under, but if it does, there's still demand for air travel worth about $3 billion,” said Oum.Existing airlines like WesUet, Greyhound and Air Canada will take up the slack, “or somebody who decides to buy Canadian at very low cost,” predicts Oum, who thinks at least 80 to 90 pe'r cent of Canadian’s 16,500 employees would be retained.carmaker.In one highly stylized magazine ad, the EVl is a silvery blur racing down a desolate road.“You will never again use the words, ‘Fill ’er up.’ Or ‘check the oil,”’ the ad reads.“Never utter the need for a tune-up.Or a smog check.Nope.You will simply say, ‘Unplug the car and let’s go.’” In addition to TV, the campaign will use newspapers, magazines, billboards, theatres and the Internet.“Teaser ads" began appearing last week on 27 billboards in • southern California."You can’t hear it coming, but it is,” they read.On Wednesday, they’ll be changed to state, “The electric car is here.” trative technic option finance.Knowledge softwares windows 3.1, microsoft word and

You’ve guessed! It’s Treasurer’s Night.Eighty plus members came quickly to attention as President Ed Hardy demonstrated why the new year is named as it is.Promptly at 6:30 p.m.on Nov.20, Pres.Ed called the meeting to order.He needed no loud speaker.Only one lone spoon was tapping, (it pays to have the chief noise instigator on the Executive.) and so the soup came on, hot and delicious.The gang made short work of the large portions of Salisbury steak with beef gravy, mashed potatoes and kernel corn.For those with a sweet tooth, chocolate mousse for dessert.Then to celebrate Henry Leech’s 97th birthay - a big carrot cake, nicely decorated and large enough for all.Amid sparkling candles we all arose for a hearty “Happy Birthday” and “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow”.Henry didn’t join in - too busy eating cake.Don Lougheed proposed the Governor General’s Toast, it is so exciting hearing 80-plus men’s voices singing the National Anthems.A new guest.Alden Ticehurst, was introduced and ‘Hap’ Ladd of Bondville fame was welcomed back (Bondville is a suburb of Iron Hill).Roger Tetrault and John Foster, this year’s Choristers, led a lively sing-song with Roger practicing his yodelling at the end of each chorus.John, a man of many talents, then gave a rendition of “Grig’s Corn Shucking Jig” on a circa 1850 banjo (no frets).Not to be outdone, Red Party stood to sing their hymn “Jingle Bells” but old Cec, the Horn Man, stood on a chair to simultaneously lead a chorus of “Row, Row Row Y our Boat”.Confusin’ ! ! ! ! ! The minutes of the last regular meeting of February 28 were read and approved.No one remembered back that far.The sick Committee advised that Ed Ball is still in Hotel Dieu Hospital, it’s now been nine weeks.He’s on the 5th floor and might appreciate a visit.Fred Barton-Slater got so excited thinking about ‘Memphre’ that he nearly shook the tickets out of the half and half basket so,- President Ed asked our guest speaker Jacques Boisvert to draw a ticket.Milt MacDonald came up to accept his winnings.We noted that he did not shake at all as he stuffed the money into his money bag.Jeannette and Reg Lacroix, our favorite caterers and good friends, were heartily cheered as Pres.Ed announced their return for the 26th year.Past President Malcolm Malcolm Juby then introduced our Guest Speaker Mr.Jacques Boisvert, whose life interest has been the history of Lake Memphremagog.We have been enthralled to read his columns in The Record.To hear him in person was a real treat.Jacques started underwater diving in 1979 after having had seven heart bypasses done in the days when heart by-pass operations were a miracle of then modern surgery.He has made over 4700 dives, has been to a depth of over 240 feet, has suffered ‘the bends’ to the detriment of his own well being.He has discovered many, many artifacts, including an anchor from an old steamer that once plied the lake.He has published over 700 articles in French and in English.His stories of ‘Memphre’ the Lake Monster are exciting.He has documented over 186 sightings, six as late as 1996.He reports that his grandfather’s school history book, published before Confederation, also mentions the Sea Serpent of Memphremagog.lie himself has never seen the monster.Ed Mills expressed the Club’s thanks for this spellbinding talk and presented Mr.Boisvert with a History of the Club, and a Club mug as memento of his visit.Pres.Ed added his thanks and declared the meeting adjourned but only after reminding members: a) that at next week’s meeting Pat Burns will be the speaker: b) they should be members: a) that at next week’s meeting Pat Burns will be the speaker: b) they should be Sawy Alice 889 Upwards of thirty relatives and friends gathered at the home of David and Deanna Parnell to extend congratulations to I lerbert and Jean Parnell of Spring Rd.on their 30th wedding anniversary.An assortment of Mrs.D’oeurves with punch was served.The lovely decorated anniversary cake was served with ice cream was cut by Herbert and Jean.Deanna presented them with gifts currency and cards and both expressed their thanks.Those present were from Spring Rd., Way’s Mills.Lennoxville, and Sawyerville.Alton and Bonnie Fowler were Sunday visitors of Clifford and Marilyn Bryant of Austin looking for new members and should pick up Membership Application Forms for next week which is Friendship Night, a night to bring in potential new members.All then dispersed to volleyball, to further question Mr.Boisvert, to tell (all tales of their summer and to play cards We noted that Gordie Stuart even brought his own deck.It will be a lifetime before I can capture the comedy mid spice that previous Secretaries wrote naturally.Submitted by Cec Blenkhorn SSSC Secretary.erville Wilson -2932 and enjoyed brunch with them at Bryant’s Restaurant.Gayle Laroche of Georgetown, Ont.spent an evening with Donald and Lillian Laroche when here to attend the funeral of her grandmother Sadie Lowd.David and Deanna Parnell accompanied Herbert and Jean Parnell of Spring Rd.and all were supper guests of Sheila Williams and family in Greenfield, Montreal.Sharon and Lee Bra/el of Lost Nation visited David and Deanna Parnell and picked up their daughter Samantha who had been an overnight guest.ioo~ too,, too.100.„ 100„ 100„ 100- 100- tOO-lOO.The Record's approaching its centennial!

Then, I asked myself the following questions about me: 1.Do I like kids?(Only if they belong to someone else.) 2.Do I want to be married?(Not for a few years.) 3.Am I ready to sit home at night with a wife and kid?(No.) 4.Am I ready for rent, insurance, car payments, doctor's bills, sick kids, dentist's bills, etc.?(No way could I handle it I'm still in high school.) 5.Am I mature enough to be a good father?(I don’t think so.) 6.What would my folks say if I told them my girl was pregnant?, (This is a nightmare I don't want .to think about.) I am 17, and my girlfriend is 16.Every time we get in the mood to go to bed, we stop and read this list of questions.Believe me, it cools things off real quick.Maybe other teen-agers who are having sex and not thinking about the consequences will benefit 1 from reading this.- RELIEVED , AND FEELING LUCKY IN LONG ISLAND Dear Ann Landers: I am a senior citizen who has a very burdensome problem that is so distressful I don't know how to handle it.I have four grown children who constantly put me on a guilt trip about their childhood.It breaks my heart the way they talk about their dead father.Fifty years ago, things were different.I was always busy cooking, baking, cleaning, running household errands (no car) and doing laundry (no permanent press in those years).My husband worked six days a week, and his main goal was to give his family a nice home and security.I realize now that nothing in life is as important as making time to have tun together as a family.We were not very affectionate and never told the kids, "I love you." Our parents never said that Ann Landers to us either, but we knew we were loved.My kids won't forgive us for the emptiness in their lives when they were growing up.They have made me feel like a total failure.How should I respond when they go on and on about their unhappy childhood?- FEELING GUILTY IN WOODBRIDGE, VA.DEAR WOODBRIDGE: It sounds as if your children are trying to shift the blame for their personal failures onto you.Tell them you're sorry you made mistakes but you did the best you could with what you had to work with at the time.You might also add, "I hope you will do better with your children."

The RECORD - Monday, December 2, 1996877 ‘Almost like having another coach’ - Pomvkala Surprise return for Gaiters’ net vet Glen By J.D.Keyes Record Correspondent LENNOXVILLE - A link from the past has returned to Bishop’s men’s basketball to try to lift this year’s team to a higher level.Glen Faucher, who played forward for the Gaiters between 1990 and 1994, has returned to Bishop’s and rejoined the basketball squad last Monday.The 6-foot, 5-inch Faucher will add his experience, leadership and skills to an already potent roster.In the 1993-94 season, he was a Quebec League all-star as well as the team’s most improved player.He graduated from Bishop’s in 1994 with a BA majoring in geography.He worked for the last couple of years at a factory in Sherbrooke while also a residence monitor at Bishop’s College School.Last year Faucher coached the BCS senior boys team to a birth in the provincial championship playoffs.“He is just a phenomenal locker-room presence,” head coach Eddie Pomykala said.“It’s almost like having another coach on the floor.” While Faucher’s conditioning is not quite up to par, he will be working hard to regain stamina over the Christmas break.“Obviously now I feel tired and my legs get heavy when we’re practicing,” Faucher said.“But I’ll have a good «H ft A Glen Faucher.Back for another chance at title.training schedule over December so that I can come back for the second semester and be in better shape than I ever was.” Faucher didn’t play a lot this weekend against Concordia and McGill, but the team has a tournament in early January in Saint John as well as an exhibition game against UNB and Pomykala says by then he will expect a bigger contribution from Faucher.His previous experience and skills already make him the number 4 forward on the team depth charts.Faucher is currently in the graduate school of education at Bishop’s.While his course-work is demanding, he gave full credit to program director Nicole Ferguson for allowing him to fit basketball in.“They have been very flexi- Bishop’s blows out Mcgill by 45 points Faucher ble with me,” he said.Faucher will be allowed to do his practice teaching in the Lennoxville area instead of outlying areas.Faucher said he’s not going to play a starring role with this year’s team but thinks he can make a contribution in other ways.“I’m going to try hard and I want to help the team do whatever I can,” said the Montreal native, who played CEGEP basketball at John Abbott.“He will not allow the guys to lose focus on what we’re trying to do,” explains coach Pomykala.“His contributions will not be noticed in points and rebounds, but he adds a lot on a daily basis.” Gaiters recover from loss on Friday to crush Redmen By J.D.Keyes Record Correspondent LENNOXVILLE - The Bishop’s men’s basketball team learned a lesson Friday night and then passed their exam with flying colors Saturday.The Gaiters blew an 11-point halftime lead in losing 74-67 to the Concordia Stingers on Friday.But Saturday, they kept a 35-point halftime lead the whole second half and beat McGill 101-66.“Friday night was a big lesson for us,” explained assistant coach Jeff Harris.“We had a really good team meeting after the game and we By J.D.Keyes Record Correspondent LENNOXVILLE - The Bishop’s women’s basketball team played well on its two-game road trip to Montreal this weekend and ironically head coach Rod Gilpin said that was a part of the reason his squad lost both games.On Saturday, McGill beat the Gaiters 75-49, while Friday night Bishop’s lost 69-48 to Concordia.“We played extremely hard both games,” said Gilpin.“But nobody really stepped up and hit the shots when we needed it.” “We did not have any notable performances.Nobody really shone.” discussed how our approach to the second half must change mentally.” “We must learn to dominate our opponents the whole game,” Harris continued.“Saturday we were so ready to play we just came out and kicked McGill around.Really, it wasn’t funny how bad we beat them.it was complete total domination.” Bishop’s scored 60 points by halftime and cracked the century mark for total points, a rarity in Canadian university basketball.Three starters -Patrice Lemieux, Stewart Clark and Rob Burns -scored in double digits by Gilpin pointed to Saturday’s game against the Martlets as a great example.His team was down only by eight points (47-39) with 10 minutes to go in the second half.But instead of somebody rising to the occasion and hitting some clutch shots, the Gaiters got into major foul trouble down the stretch, enabling McGill to blow them out.“We had some serious foul trouble,” he said.“We’re not really deep up front and when we get into foul trouble like we did with our forwards, that just compounds our problems.” “Our defence kept us in the game but offensively, we missed a lot of shots we halftime, finishing with 22, 16 and 14 points respectively.Every player on the Bishop’s roster hit at least a field goal against McGill and 10 of the 12 players had at least one rebound.Hubert Davis led the Redmen with 17 points, while should have made.” Forward Michelle Huneault led Bishop’s with 11 points and Kim Van Vliet added 10.Rookie Adriana Murphy had seven rebounds to lead the Gaiters is, including four at the offensive end.Van Vliet chipped in with six.The veteran McGill team only out rebounded the Gaiters by a 43-30 margin.Friday night against Concordia, Bishop’s played the Stingers closely until they let them go on a 13-6 run to close out the first half.Concordia was up 35-26 at halftime and managed to keep the Gaiters at arm’s length throughout the second half.Joel Pearlman had 13.Davis also had nine rebounds.“It was great to see the team respond so well after Friday,” Harris said.“It was so good to see us work so hard on defence and see everybody come to play.” Friday night, Bishop’s blew a 39-28 halftime lead by letting Concordia go on a 10-2 run in the first five minutes of the second half.Constantine Gymnopoulos scored all 15 of his points in the second half to spark the Stingers.Jay Prosper also had 15 points in the game, including 11 in the second half.All-Conference forward Rookie point guard Cynthia Hitchcock led Bishop’s with a nine-point effort.Sharolyn Higgs had eight points.“We set a goal for ourselves this weekend,” explained Gilpin.“We wanted to rebound with McGill and Concordia - two of the best rebounding teams in the nation - and we did.” “What hurt us was turnovers - a lot of them were unforced - and missed shots.” Bishop’s record dropped to 1-5 with the losses, but the team has 14 games after the Christmas break to make up ground.J.P.Reimer chipped in with 12 points.The Gaiters were led by Clark’s 13 points.Lemieux and senior guard Greg Southward had 10 apiece.“We haven’t had the killer instinct to put teams away in the start of the second half,” said Harris.“We did not outwork them for the full 40 minutes and I give them credit because they battled like heck.” “We let them get excited and come back instead of putting them aw’ay.” By splitting the two games over the weekend, Bishop’s stayed at .500, 3-3.Olajuwon in hospital again HOUSTON (AP) -Hakeem Olajuwon checked into a hospital Sunday after the Houston Rockets center noticed an irregular heartbeat during halftime of a game for the second time in less than two weeks.Team doctor James Muntz said the 33-year-old Olajuwon was in good condition at Methodist Hospital, where he arrived about 10:30 a.m.Sunday after leaving the Rockets in Washington, D.C.The abnormal rhythm, or arrhythmia, appears similar to an episode Olajuwon had 12 days before and once in 1991.Muntz said the seven-foot Olajuwon is otherwise in good health, and the arrhythmia does not mean he has a heart problem.McGill.Concordia too much for Gaiters Turnovers hurt Bishop’s women’s team The RECORD -Monday, December 2, 1996 -

Burns Hockey players country boys on skates SHERBROOKE- (BP) Wednesday night’s weekly meeting of the Sherbrooke Snow Shoe Club was attended by the usual number of members and an unusual number of guests.The reason was undoubtedly the presence of guest speaker, Pat Burns.A resident of the village of Austin and friend of club president, Ed Hardy, Burns outlined the history of his involvement in hockey and then fielded numerous questions from the members and guests present.The result of his very frank and candid responses was a much clearer insight into the world of professional hockey.One of his concerns, especially in Montreal, is that in his words, “The media has become more competitive than hockey”.Questioned about the recent cases of apparent disrespect towards game officials that professional athletes sometimes display, Burns was quick to point out that for the most part, hockey players are not like professionals in other sports.Hockey players often come to us from Alexander Galt backup netminder Shawn Fisk got a chance to pose after a meeting of the Sherbrooke Snow Shoe CLub last week.farm and country environments and bring with them course in his life again ?country values, he said.DOWN-HOME KIDS “Hockey players”, he maintains, “are down-home kids”.He added that hockey professionals are frequently involved in activities which have “lots of benefits for kids”.Given the chance, would he follow the same Absolutely”, he concluded.Alexander Galt Regional High School student, Shawn Fisk, was one of the guests present at the Sherbrooke Snow Shoe Club to hear Pat Burns speak.Why should this qualify him to have his picture taken with the guest speaker?Fisk just happens to be the back-up net-minder with former NHL coach Pat Burns PHOTO: BRUCE PATTON for Galt’s senior hockey team, the Pipers.Now he can add the name of Pat Burns to his list of coaches along with the teams regulars -
