Junctions.\u201d Police union slams bosses, calls for mayor to intervene CONT'D FROM PAGE 1 \u201cWe have reached a point of no return with Mr.Labbé and with Mr.Le- brun,\u201d said Robin Côté, President of the APPS.\u201cThe chief and his captain no longer have the legitimacy nor the credibility necessary to continue in their functions.\u201d This announcement on the part of the APPS marks the most recent development in an increasingly complex internal criminal investigation into intimidation within the SPS.The investigation, initiated as a result of the discovery of excrement in the sandwich of an SPS patroller, led to the arrest of suspected mole Alex Therrien in April after evidence arose suggesting Therrien\u2019s alleged involvement with criminal organizations.The aftereffects of the arrest have, thus far, led to a number of broader undertakings such as \u201coperation Kayak,\u201d the recent organized-crime bust carried out by the regional mixed police squad.The APPS is claiming, however, that the administration of the SPS is taking this opportunity to try to discredit the organization and its representatives, by associating these events with representatives of the police union and taking actions which violate the estab lished collective agreement.Coté pointed out that the APPS has sought and obtained mediation from the Ministry of Employment in an attempt to find a solution to recurrent issues, but added that in a recent Léger-Marketing poll 95 per cent of SPS officers denounced the working environment as unhealthy and 96 per cent stated that they were dissatisfied with the upper management's attempts to improve the situation.He stated that the disciplinary actions taken against members of the SPS not only violate the officers\u2019 collective agreement, but are illegal and are often represented differently to the media than behind closed doors.\u201cThe Chief of Police is a double-talk- er; when he addresses the media he mentions that the climate of intimidation is uniquely the business of two or three individuals, but when his service is investigating it\u2019s said that the union Lenn artist readies panel By Olivia Ranger-Enns -Record Correspondent SHERBROOKE oe Ford has been hard at work on his panel, which will be part of the Canada Games mural, expected to be owcased on August 16.\u201cWe will have 224 panels that will be part ofthe mural, and my panel is number 156,\u201d explains Ford at the living room table, where his easel and panel stand by his side.\u201cI am very proud to be able to be part of this project.\u201d MURIRS (Urban Murals for the Revitalization of Buildings and Social Reconciliation) is a non-profit organization that promotes various milieus via the use of murals.Sherbrooke has lately been given a major face lift with as many as 13 murals.The Canada Games mural should be completed by August 16th, 2013, to herald the important legacy of the Games for the Sherbrooke region.As part Qf Destination Sherbrooke urban art program and the cultural aspect of the Canada Games, MURIRS will bring together artists hailing from the 13 provinces and territories.\u201cLand of Fresco Murals\u201d, Sherbrooke\u2019s 14th mural, will showcase 224 panels in the form of scenes, which will be put into one single composition.For example, the eye of a horse in one panel may turn out to be the helm of a boat in another adjacent panel.As a form of trompe-l'œil, these panels will be deft manipulations of vision as we understand it.René Demers, Vice-President of Destination Sherbrooke and Sherbrooke municipal councillor, imparted the following: \u201cOnce again MURIRS has found a way to artistically highlight the notable occurrence of a major event like the Canada Summer Games.The mural will be the pride of Sherbrooke and its visitors.\u201d Ford used a photo of two runners, one of them a good friend of his wife Melanie, to showcase Quebecers doing sports in honour of the Sherbrooke Canada Games.\u201cThis is a great picture of Susan Durrell, who studied at the Université de Sherbrooke and who participated in two Canada Games.She was with the Quebec track and field group.She still holds the 300 m.sprint indoor record,\u201d adds Ford, indicating the photograph he used to create the panel.\u201cHer expression is great, with her mouth open as she struggles to beat her opponent and win the race.\u201d \u201cI really wanted to work on the dark and light colours, as the organization informed me that, to make the entire mural work, I needed to use dark colours on the right and light colours on the left,\u201d says Ford.\u201cIl focused on three points of interest in this panel.I also liked the fact that the hair of the two runners was billowing in the wind, creating more movement and dynamism to the right.\u201d Ford had a few problems in keeping his temper under control with the paints used.\u201cSince this is going to be a mural, I had to use exterior paint, which dries instantly,\u201d explains Ford.\u201cThat made it all the more difficult for me, since if! wanted to touch something up.it would be almost impossible.! am used to oil painting,\u201d he adds, pointing to a still life hanging in his livingroom.\u201cWith oil paint, the colours blend.With is the source of the problems.\u201d Côté said, reiterating that the union is no longer willing to interact with the current administration as a result.He went on to call on the Mayor of Sherbrooke to intervene directly in the situation.Dénis Côté, president of the Federation of Municipal Police of Quebec (FPMQ) was also present at the press conference to lend the support of the parent organization to the APPS\u2019 cause.\u201cThis has truly gone too far,\u201d the FPMQ President said, \u201cthe City of Sherbrooke and particularly the Mayor must intervene to put an end to reprisals against union representatives.\u201d The APPS assured the population that, while they are beginning to strongly consider engaging in pressure tactics, there should be no change in service to the citizens of Sherbrooke.Robin Coté assured those gathered that the officers of the SPS would continue to act with public safety and security at heart regardless of what might happen next.Regarding work action, however, he was clear that there might be any number of decisions made.\u201cWe're not leaving anything out,\u201d the OLIVIA RANGER-ENNS Lennoxville artist Joe Ford poses with his panel for the MURIRS Canada Games mural, featuring U de S athlete Susan

day she bought me an easel,\u201d recalls Ford.\u201cI was walking by the arts supply store Madame Pickwick on Wellington Street and I saw this guy at the back of the store, teaching an art class.That gentleman, Raymond Laper- riere, would come to be my art teacher.\u201d Laperriere has done a few of the murals in Sherbrooke himself, and his enthusiasm for art and general President said, when asked about the possibility of a strike.For their part, the SPS have yet to respond to the announcement publicly.Josée Fortin new director general of Sherbrooke Innopole Gordon Lambie riday Afternoon, Marc

oil paintings now,\u201d adds Ford as he circulates around the livingroom, where an copy of Vermeer\u2019s Girl With a Pearl Earring and a gorgeous rendition of a horse are framed.It took Ford 24 hours to complete the panel.\u201cMaking the panel was not so bad, but somehow sending in my application beforehand caused some trouble.I finally found out the organization had.not received my application, but when I finally got the go-ahead I was three to four weeks behind all the other artists.I had to work double time, squeezing in time after work and on weekends,\u201d says Ford with a broad smile.The panel had to be finished by June 28th so that the organizational committee could make sure the entire mural would look amazing.Ford works in the upper story of his house on Bown

Bas» \u201cre Cer vor oy yt.| The Record | therm.Not one of the popular kids Mike McDevitt I: rumours are to believed, Quebec Premier{e?) Pauline Marois is not one of the popular kids.She is, in fact, the province's least popular political leader.Her brood still loves her, but given that crowd's history of loyalty, this won't last long.Recent polls by the Leger Marketing group for Montreal's Gazette and Le Devoir newspapers, shows MaTante enjoying the \u2018good opinion\u2019 of a mere 31 per cent of the population, while 56 per cent express having a poor opinion of Quebec's first female head of government.Within the party, however, Madame enjoys considerable support, with 88 per cent reporting favourably.In this category she beats Philippe Couillard (80 per cent) and Francois Legault (82 per cent) n support from party members.So far, so good.The problem for MaTante, however, begins here: Among voters who express a party preference, the Parti-Québécois enjoys the support of only 27 per cent, while the \u2018permanently disgraced\u2019 Liberal party has rebounded to almost 38 per cent under Couillard\u2019s untested leadership.Couillard, by the way, reported a 48 per cent approval rating.This is down five points from its already miserable election night support.There is no doubt that Pauline is not a popular figure.Long before she assumed the leadership and then fought off the regularly-scheduled hardline rebellion, MaTante had found ways to irritate her fellow provincials.She's filthy rich, for one thing, and hid that fact for years by living in a ridiculous Chateaux-styled mansion with her multi-millionaire husband Claude Blanchet, former head of the FTQ\u2019s solidarity fund.She has a reputation for arrogance, extravagance, (oh, she of the $300,000 toilet) and a tendency to give her fellow citizens pedantic lectures on what is good for them.None of that matters to the PQ - yet.What does matter to the PQ is that Pauline is even less popular than her party and her party is not doing well at all.The reasons for the excessively high levels of \u2018dissatisfaction\u2019 toward the government expressed in the recent polls are not hard to discern.It\u2019s a crappy government.Since its election last September, the PQ has executed one serious misstep after another, alienating further the two-thirds of Quebecers who didn\u2019t vote for it, and embarrassing the few who did.First, she betrayed the students, who demonstrated their serious need for knowledge by believing Pauline was one of them, what with her red square and pot-banging and all.Thanks to her, an entirely new generation of Quebecers has learned the meaning of hypocrisy and treachery.Let's hope they're grateful.We also, of course have graced international headlines for our discovery of the dangers of pasta, the word not the noodle, and everybody knows how much Que- becers like people laughing at them.To say the future looks bleak for Mme Marois would be an unearned kindness.It\u2019s only a matter of time, before frustration and ambition combine to convince the PQ once again that the only thing standing between them and victory is their leader and off will come her head.\u201d : The PQ has a habit of eating its elders, as Lucien Bouchard, Pierre-Marc Johnson and even St.Rene Levesque could testify.As it is incapable of seeing any fault within itself or its separatist cause, the conclusion is always reached that the fault lies with the leader and tenders for the guillotine are sent out.Pauline is a sitting premiere, so she could avoid the inevitable revolt for a short time.But in the long term, she might want to revise her CV.The writing is on the wall- and it\u2019s in French.| She has a reputation for arrogance, extravagance, (oh, she of the $300,000 toilet) and a tendency to give her fellow citizens pedantic lectures on what is good for | WISH IT WAS CONTAGIOUS.I ctters \u201cMy god would not condemn approximately 10 per cent of our world\u2019s population.\u201d Re: Is a rose still a rose?Dear Editor I find this facetious diatribe quite disturbing.Laws evolve to reflect the moral and ethical sensibilities of our society.At a not too distant past, women were treated as property by males and the law.Even at a younger time in my life, I could not own property without permission by a spouse or a father.A good definition of a marriage is that of two people who commit themselves to a union of respect, care and comfort that is legally, socially and in some case, religiously, sanctioned.My god would not condemn approximately 10 per cent of our world\u2019s population to not having this law to protect them from all kinds of discrimination such as bullying and beatings, causing many to commit suicide.One does not determine one\u2019s sexual orientation.It is a biological entity that is a combination of physical attributes and hormonal influences which can be measured.Polygamy is not a part of the legal definition of marriage and is strictly illegal.A rose is still a rose and a snapdragon is still a snapdragon and both are beautiful as is a good marriage.Sincerely, Sooky DUNTON DEAR EDITOR: Other life forms, even plants, have more secure information systems that do not require gadgets to send or receive.Are we a case of delayed or misguided development?JASON KRPAN Georgeville DEAR EDITOR: Revolutions are seldom revolutions.Usually they are mere changes in the seating arrangement.The game remains the same.J.KRPAN Georgeville \u2014\"E mme PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS RECORD Te ros Quesec: 1 YEAR 120.00 6.00 1197 $137.97 6 MONTHS 6300 315 6.28 $72.43 PO.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H Ste or 1195Galt E, Sherbrooke J1G 1Y7 3 MONTHS 3200 160 3.19- $36.79 Fax FOR NEWSROOM ONLY: 819-569-3945 EMAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS WessiTe: www.sherbrookerecord.com QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 5500 275 549 $63.24 1 MONTH 499 025 050 $5.74 SmARON MoCULLX EUBISHER -

PRESS ontreal\u2019s new interim mayor is Mrs what passes for a bold prediction these days for a politician in this city: he\u2019s confident his of fices won't be targeted in any police raids.Laurent Blanchard was named to the job Tuesday, making him the scandal soaked city's third mayor in less than a year.He will hold the job for only a few months, until the November municipal election.The two-term city councillor was asked whether he feared that UPAC, Quebec\u2019s anti-corruption squad, might also come knocking at his borough offices.\u201cI don\u2019t worry about that,\u201d said Blanchard, a former community newspaper publisher.\u201cAbsolutely not!\u201d An opposition politician at city hall agreed.Richard Bergeron, head of the Projet Montreal party, expressed confidence that \u201cthere are no nasty surprises to worry about\u201d with Blanchard.City council chose Blanchard in a close vote where he beat his two rivals by a score of 30-28-3.At his swearing-in ceremony, he promised Montrealers \u201cintegrity, stability and continuity.\u201d The 60-year-old councillor, who had been head of the municipal executive body since last year, admitted it won\u2019t be an easy task to run Montreal after what's happened.There's a bright side, however.\u201cIts only for four months,\u201d he quipped.He said his priority will be to maintain the multi-party coalition that has been running the city in the leadup to the Nov.3 municipal vote.There were initially five candidates in: the running to take over from Michael Applebaum, who stepped down as interim mayor after being arrested on cor- ruption-related charges.Two dropped out before the vote.Applebaum replaced Gerald Tremblay, who resigned in a different scandal.As he took over city hall last fall, Apple- baum created a multi-party executive body and promised to keep a coalition administration in place.Blanchard now says he will maintain that approach.He said he will only seek re-election this fall as a city councillor.He represents a poorer-than-average area east of downtown and expressed pride Tuesday that his borough will produce a mayor \u2014 albeit temporarily.He said he wants to help restore confidence in the city.Blanchard pointed out that Moody's Investors Service recently maintained Montreal's Aa2 long-term credit rating, and he used that to argue that confidence in Montreal remains strong.Moody\u2019s did announce last week that it would keep Montreal's credit rating, although it added that the rating remains on the lower end of Canadian cities.In a release explaining its decision, the agency listed higher-than-average indebtedness as a concern but did not THE CANADIAN PRESS/RYAN REMIORZ wly-elected interim mayor Laurent Blanchard speaks to the media at city hall Tuesday.refer to corruption scandals.Evidence at an ongoing corruption inquiry suggests the city significantly overpaid for construction work for years \u2014 while crooked companies colluded on bids and split their extra profits with corrupt bureaucrats, the ruling municipal party, and the Mafia.- The last elected mayor, Tremblay, resigned after a witness alleged he turned a blind eye to illegal political financing.Tremblay has denied the allegation and that same witness has since admitted to making up another part of his testimony.However, the political damage was done.Tremblay stepped aside and council picked Applebaum, who became Montreal\u2019s first anglo mayor in 100 years.Trouble for the interim mayor began soon thereafter.Applebaum\u2019s west-end borough of fices were raided by investigators.He was arrested several months later and slapped with 14 criminal charges including fraud, in an alleged scheme involving bribes in for construction permits.Unlike nearby Laval, however, the city has not been placed under provincial trusteeship.Part of the reason Montreal has been left to govern itself, according to the provincial government, is that the city has a functioning democracy with clashing political parties.That is in contrast with Laval, where a now-disgraced and dissolved party held every seat on council.Harout Chitilian, 32, who lost to Blanchard by only two votes Tuesday, said the election results show that democracy is healthy at Montreal city council.\u201cIt demonstrated again that we don\u2019t need trusteeship from the Quebec government,\u201d he told reporters.\u201cWe can take care of business on our own in a respectful and transparent manner.\u201d Chitilian was the city council speaker before he stepped aside to take a run at the interim mayor\u2019s seat.He said he will push to maintain stability at city hall, while admitting that anything can happen along the way.\u201cLife is full of surprises, but every time we have a situation out of the ordinary here, the elected officials have responded in a responsible fashion,\u201d Chitilian said.Jane Cowell-Poitras, who placed a distant third in the latest vote, had served as acting mayor, filling in for both Tremblay and Applebaum after they resigned.exchange By Sidhartha Banerjee THE CANADIAN PRESS f the 106 people arrested by Quebec\u2019s anti-corruption unit, she is the first to have been denied bail.Pamela Porter, the wife of Canada\u2019s former spy watchdog Arthur Porter, had her request for freedom refused during a hearing Tuesday.The decision to keep her in jail came the day before her 53rd birthday.She showed no emotion as she listened through a translator to Quebec court Judge Robert Marchi\u2019s bail decision.She faces one charge of conspiracy as well as another related to laundering more than $22 million stemming from the construction of Montreal's English- language superhospital.She is accused of helping her husband, the former head of Security Intelligence Review Committee and of the McGill University Health Centre, launder the money.The bail process was covered by a publication ban so details cannot be reported.However, in the end, Marchi agreed with the.Crown's contention that Pamela Porter presented a flight risk.\u201cWe are happy with the decision,\u201d No bail for Pamela Porter À first in Quebec\u2019s corruption scandal said prosecutor Marie-Helene Giroux.\u201cThe court has decided that Mrs.Porter constitutes a flight risk and should remain detained pending trial, so now we'll get ready for a preliminary inquiry.\u201d One of Porter\u2019s daughters sat in the courtroom as Marchi announced his decision.Upon hearing the ruling, her lawyer Marc-Antoine Carette requested a preliminary hearing as soon as possible to get her case to trial quickly.He declined to comment as he left the courtroom.Dates will be set aside for the inquiry on July 3.Of the 106 people arrested and charged by Quebec\u2019s anti-corruption unit, the others have had their request for freedom accepted \u2014 sometimes under strict conditions.The police unit, UPAC, was created two years ago in the wake of corruption scandals.Others linked to the superhospital investigation have been released on hefty bail amounts, but Giroux said there were special circumstances in Pamela Porter's case.\u201cThe court has decided there are reasons to maintain her in detention,\u201d Giroux said.She has been detained since being arrested by authorities in Panama on May 26.The Porters were arrested separately last month in Panama on an Interpol warrant.She agreed to return to Canada to face charges.Meanwhile, Arthur Porter remains in a Panamanian prison and is fighting his extradition to Canada on the grounds his arrest was illegal because he has diplomatic immunity.Porter was never formally employed as a diplomat for his native Sierra Leone, but held the role of a volunteer goodwill ambassador.Arthur Porter, the former head of the Security Intelligence Review Committee faces several charges related to alleged scams in the awarding of a $1.3-billion Montreal hospital contract, one of Canada\u2019s largest public works projects.He has said previously that he\u2019s done nothing wrong.Others charged in the superhospital case are former SNC Lavalin senior executives Pierre Duhaime and Riadh Ben Aissa; McGill University Health Centre executive Yanai Elbaz and his brother Yohann; and Jeremy Morris, the administrator of a Bahamas-based investment company. \u2014-.\u2014=-\u2014\u2014.\" 9 YVAN LU, sul
