Though an academic work, the book is easy to navigate and tells the interesting story of one man's impact on Canadian religious education.It has been called a moving personal account of one man's spiritual and intellectual journey."Reid's career affected both university and religious life in Canada during the post war period," explained the author, an adjunct professor of church history at Tyndle Seminary in Toronto.'Reid was an observant Christian academic, unapologetically Calvinist who openly articulated his faith in a secular environment and helped convince evangelicals to abandon their ghettoizing anti-intellectualism." Stanford Reid, who died in 1996, had a career that spanned many Stewart Reid was at the book launch to remember his brother Stanford."Hgseag ,j decades, first at McGill University where he was a history professor for 24 years as well as dean of residences, and then at the University of Guelph, where he set up a history department, organized a large graduate program and created a Scottish Studies emphasis.In the book, MacLeod's discussion of Reid's international networking serves as a reminder of the way in which Canadian evangelicalism was influenced by, and in turn, influenced the United States, where Reid's influence was appreciable, both as a trustee of Westminister Seminary for 37 years and as editor at large of the nascent Christianity Today.The book, published by McGill-Queen's University Press, has a front cover painting of the Montreal church where the brothers' father, Stanley Reid, was the minister for many years.The front piece photograph shows the two boys, Stewart four years younger than Stanford, and their parents.His father's beliefs and the closeness of family, continued throughout the academic's career, playing an important role."Donald MacLeod really came here for the launch because of Stewart," explained Sue Riddell."We held the event at the church because it was easier to access with the elevator.A place to call home! > RÉSIDENCE POUR LES AÎNÉS/ RETIREMENT RESIDENCE with 24 hr.supervision Social activities to enjoy with a warm and caring personnel Soins 24h sur 24 Programme d’activités et un personnel chaleureux Physio services available & doctor on call 28 Mount Echo, Knowlton, Québec (450) 242-4663 E-mail: manoirlacbrome @ sympatico.ca Web site: www.manoirlacbrome.com MEMBRE Wwcialton Retraites du Ou«fee PHOTOS BY WENDY DENMAN/CORRESPONDENT Stewart Reid was on hand recently for the launch of author A.Donald MacLeod’s book W.Stanford Reid, An Evangelical Calvinist in the Academy."We were so happy to share these moments with Stewart and Barbara and to see his brother honoured in this way and to share in his memories."

You might not like to be thinking about it just yet, but before long you’re going to have to start thinking about winter, and with that winter tires.Like the Canadian Automobile Association, I believe winter tires are a must in this part of the world.The so-called “all-season” tires are good for about three seasons, but simply can’t cut it when the going gets tough.If you remember last winter, you know the going could get pretty tough in the months ahead.All-season tires are in fact a compromise: They have a bit more aggressive tread, good for when road conditions aren’t ideal.But to handle the heat of the summer they are made of a harder rubber, which loses its elasticity when the mercury dips below -15 Celsius.Winter tires stay flexible and gripping down to -40 C, and have deeper treads designed specifically for throwing off snow and slush.In its defence of winter tires the CAA cited tests it carried out with the Ministère des Transports and the Centre de recherche industrielle du Québec (CRIQ).Those tests showed that at 50 km/h, winter tires reduced braking distance by 23 per cent over all season tires.That’s a difference of 11.5 metres, or the difference between stopping safely and crashing.If you’re going to bother with winter tires, get four, not two.A lot of people mistakenly figure that if you put a pair on the drive wheels, everything is fine.But that leaves the other two wheels with inferior traction, and that can lead to spinouts and a quick trip to the ditch - or into the path of an oncoming car.As CAA spokesperson Claire Roy says, it’s like going outside in the winter with one boot and one shoe.“It’s a question of common sense and balance.” Choosing the right tire for your vehicle is a challenge in itself, and you may want to talk to your me- chanic about it.First off you have to find the “snowflake on the mountain” symbol, which has become the standard for real winter tires.They used to say M+S, but soon every tire made that claim, so a new system was brought in.Your mechanic can be helpful in determining the best tire for your type of car or truck, and the driving you do.You may also be faced with the choice between a snow tire and an ice tire.Personally I prefer the ice tires, finding they do well in snow and provide a little extra grip on ice.Of course I also like studded tires, which are noisy but really dig when things get slick.Once they’re installed and your wallet lightened accordingly, you’ll want to make sure you get the most out of them.That means keeping them properly inflated.Under-inflation causes the tires to heat, and that makes them wear faster.Over inflation makes them hard, roughening up your ride and weakening traction.To further complicate things outside air temperatures can vary greatly in the winter, and your tires will soften or harden a bit as a result.Then there’s the fact that a perfectly good tire can still lose about a pound of air per month.I’d suggest checking the tire pressure once every couple of weeks during the winter.You can also get away with over inflating tires by three or four pounds to compensate for temperature drops.While the tire itself will list a maximum pressure, the recommended tire pressure is usually listed on the driver’s door frame, or in the owner’s manual.While we might like to think that winter is still a ways off, it could show up at any moment.Best to get the snow tires on now, and avoid the big lineups at the garage that inevitably follow the first big storm of the season.Only 55 days until the first official day of winter, 59 days until Christmas.Under The Hood Maurice Crossfield ^ liât™ INVITES YOU TO JOIN US FOR “HALLOWE’EN” WE’RE CELEBRATING FRIDAY OCTOBER 29TH OUR FRI.NlTE RIB STEAK SPECIAL FOLLOWED BY LIVE MUSIC FOR YOUR DANCING PLEASURE Wear your finest costume and you might be in for a surprise!

The exhibition will contain about 30 works — mainly oil on canvas but also some drawings and watercolors.“I do a lot of figurative work.In the show, I will have a series of portraits done from life with companion abstracts.In painting the abstracts, I have sought out what was in the portrait and interpreted it,” she said.“I am beginning to realize my colour palate is quite bold.I was recently at a group show of about 30 artists and it was interesting to see my work alongside the others, in comparison my palate was really quite vibrant, I was surprised.I do most of my work oil on canvas, but I use other media — watercolour, acrylic and I also like to draw." The young artist is excited about her art and is currently negotiating for another solo show in Montreal sometime in the next year or so.“I am a practising artist and that is great, I am very enthusiastic about the future and facing new challenges and trying new things.I look forward to new expressions of my art,” she concluded.Apples: CONT’D FROM PAGE 1 “Our products are in about 70 SAQs,” Crawford told BCN.“We feel the Ice Hotel Vacation Contest is a great way to promote the sparkling ice cider.There is an obvious connection between ice cider and ice hotels, but more importantly our products are becoming increasingly international in appeal and availability.“We wanted to highlight this emergence and believe that the Swedish Ice Hotel perfectly captures the essence of a service or product that is unique in character, but global in appeal.” Pinnacle Estates covers 430 acres on the southern slopes of Pinnacle Mountain.There is a boutique located in the original and historic 1859 farmhouse which is open daily summer and fall; weekdays and by appointment at other times of the year.“It is a special product from this beautiful region and we need to be proud of what can be produced here,” concluded Crawford.: Î .I WENDY DENMAN/CORRESPONDENT Pinnacle’s Charles Crawford was a happy man this week.MS lives here.Multiple sclerosis never hits THE CONNOISSEUR'S REBATE .FOR CONNOISSEURS ONLY! $ 40 upon buying 4 AVS Winter s 20 upon buying 4 Ice Guard IG10/IG721 just one person.It affects the entire family.MS Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada 1-800-268-7582 www.mssociety.ca Un héritage à partager LEAVE A LEGACY" ww.legacy-quctKC .org 1 888 304-8834 Quebec A.V.Martin Garneau.CIM, fma.CFP, PL.F1N.Financial Planner / Planificateur Financier 59 Academy, Sutton • investment management planning for retirement, RRSP, RESP Majesta Tel: 450-538-8008 Fax: 450-538-6904 avmarting @ yahoo.com D€NIS pnmiDis, m.p.Broms-Missisquoi 21 Main St.Bedford (Québec) JOJ 1A0 (450) 248-1179 HOUSE OF COMMONS 104 South Street Suite 100B Cowansville (Québec) J2K 2X2 (450) 266-6062 Ail those who know about tires and can fully appreciate the incomparable advantages of Yokohama winter radials will find new reasons to rejoice this winter.This off-invoice rebate on these exceptional passenger car radiais is valid between September 1 and December 31,2004, What more can we say?Connoisseurs know howto recognize a good deal!

27, 2004 Voici le titre d'un livre par l'historien Emmanuel Todd sur les relations entre les États-Unis et le reste du monde depuis les attentats du 11 septembre 2001.Ce livre porte à réflexion en invoquant des raisons et des effets auxquels plusieurs n'auraient pas pensé — d'intéressants points de vue.Todd invoque l'alphabétisation, la démocratisation et la paix pour la baisse de la fécondité dans la plupart des pays du Monde.Ainsi, en Iran comme en Algérie, les femmes ont moins de trois enfants en moyenne.Cette maîtrise de la fécondité est, selon Todd, rendue possible par la généralisation de l'alphabétisation à quelques exceptions près (notamment l'Afrique noire).L'alphabétisation est aussi à l'origine de secousses politiques inévitables.Selon Todd, les habitants d'Iran et d'ailleurs sentent l'envie de secouer les 0 RETAIL VALUE ÊjHusqvama CROWN KIT GREAT EXP (jHusqvama 136 $299.9S QfHusqvama 353 BHusqvama 345 *579.9S f ’469.” fiJHusqvama 359 L 95 > ' (flHusqvama 55

vieilles structures sociales dès qu'ils acquirent une conscience politique avec l'alphabétisation.Cependant, ces poussées de fièvres ne durent pas et laissent la place à une phase de démocratisation comme on peut l'observer aujourd'hui en Iran.Le monde serait-il donc en voie d'atteindre un état démocratique stable?Sans doute pas car les pays développés évoluent eux-mêmes vers des formes démocratiques comme l'illustrent l'accroissement de l'inégalité sociale depuis deux décennies en Europe et aux États-Unis.Le deuxième facteur de risque, pour Todd, est la situation de dépendance économique dans laquelle seraient tombés les États-Unis.L'historien note que le déficit commercial américain a plus que triplé dans la dernière décennie pour atteindre des montants "vertigineux".Todd dit que les capitaux du monde entier affluent vers les États-Unis sous forme d'obligations, de bons du Trésor ou de prêts à long terme.Mais ces investissements sont dilapidés sous forme de consommation à court terme tandis que les États-Unis se désindustrialisent à "grande vitesse".Le bien-être et le statut des améri- cains dépendent désormais des importations à crédit de biens matériels.Cette consommation à crédit repose sur la confiance que placent les épargnant dans la puissance américaine, garantie de la paix mondiale.Todd se demande comment les États-Unis peuvent continuer de se rendre indispensables si le monde est en voie de stabilisation démographique, éducative et démocratique.Les États-Unis ont besoin d'une certaine insécurité pour continuer de justifier la confiance que leur accordent les épargnants du monde entier.En conséquence, Washington est tenté de voir de l'insécurité, d'où la relance des budgets militaires.Cette relance n'a pas attendu les événements du 11 septembre 2001 mais les attentats dramatiques de ce jour-là ont paru la justifier.Dans son raisonnement, Todd conclut que les dirigeants américains peuvent être tentés de susciter le désordre international à la manière des pompiers pyromanes.L'auteur d'Après l'empire note que les Américains n'ont cependant aucune envie d'affronter les adversaires de poids: La Russie, Chine ou Corée du Nord.Voilà pourquoi, selon Todd, que, dans son désir de dramatiser la situation internationale sans prendre trop de risque, le président George Walker Bush a choisi de s'en prendre à une dictature relativement insignifiante sur le plan militaire, l'Irak.Dans l'avenir, après la crise actuelle, Todd rêve d'un rapprochement entre une Russie stabilisée et une Europe libérée de sa dépendance mentale à l'égard des États-Unis.Mais, la Russie qui se dépeuple d'année en année, plus vite qu'aucun autre État, a-t-elle encore un avenir?L'analyse Todd est cohérente et s'appuie sur des observations réelles.Les États-Unis, depuis la chute de l'URSS, se comportent en tout-puissant gendarme du monde.En même temps, les capitaux qui se réfugient en masse aux États-Unis permettent à la classe dirigeante de ce pays de vivre sur un train de vie jamais connu auparavant.Cet échange — richesse contre la protection militaire — rappelle le contrat informel passé par Rome avec ses voisins avant la chute de l'empire romain.L'histoire se répètera-t-elle avec l'empire américain?Entre Nous Thérèse Bernard VOLVO S40 VOLVO $40 lAk LEASE FROM *378 VOLVO $40 T5 LEASE FROM '448 VOLVO S40T5AWD
