Townships Resource Centre invites you to attend the 16th Annual Robin Burns Lecture on Wednesday, Nov.5 at 7 p.m., in the Cleghorn Common Room of McGreer Hall, on the Bishop’s University campus.On the centenary of the First World War, the Centre has invited author and historian Michel Litalien from the Canadian Forces Museums and Historical Collections of the Department of National Defence.Michel Litalien was a member of the Canadian Forces for more than 25 years.He is now working with the Directorate of History and Heritage at the Department of National Defence in Ottawa as manager of the Canadian Forces Museums and Historical Collections.His passion for history has earned him a Master’s in history from the University of Ottawa and he is newly enrolled in a PhD program at the Université de Montpellier in France.Litalien has authored 10 books on the military history of Quebec, notably Les Fusiliers de Sherbrooke, 1910-2010 : L'épopée d'une institution des Cantons-de-l'Est which also addresses the history of the region.When Canada entered the war in August 1914, the Eastern Townships was already well aware of military and defence issues.Because of its particular location, the region had been historically compelled to militarize as it had to be ready at all times to repel a most threatening neighbour who had tried to push its way in a few times.Around 1880, few were the towns and villages that did not have at least one military unit or sub-unit.Therefore, on the eve of the war, Sherbrooke and its region already had two cavalry brigades, one infantry brigade, artillery units and auxiliary units.In August 1914, although Minister of Militia and Defence Sam Hughes chose not to mobilize the non-permanent active Militia units for active duty, several of their members quickly volunteered to fight on the European front.With its two linguistic communities, the region became a very interesting re- cruitment territory for the Canadian Expeditionary Force and several Montreal battalions even set up recruiting centres directly in the region.Many Townships citizens distinguished themselves throughout the conflict.For example, rather than merely encourage its citizens to enrol.Lieutenant-colonel George Harold Baker, a federal MP, acted on his beliefs and volunteered in the Canadian Expeditionary Force.He would also be the only politician to fall in the line of duty.As for the 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles, a unit raised in the region, two of its members received the Victoria Cross, the highest military valour decoration of the British Empire.The instances of bravery from Eastern Townships’ citizens on the European front were numerous.The event is free and all are welcome.Refreshments will be served after the lecture.Please RSVP to

Why is he still with us?Honestly, we really don’t know.Well, maybe it has a little something to do with the fact that he cannot live with cats.We know that limits his options somewhat but we also know there are lots of cat-free homes out there.What makes us particularly sad is that in late August he came so close to finding his forever home.So close that even his bags were neatly packed and he’d cleaned up his kennel in anticipation if his impending departure.Then we got the call; the family that had been so enamoured by this wonderful dog decided he was just too big to be their second dog.Yes, Bruno is tall and lanky and admittedly he is a little bigger than a Chihuahua but he isn’t crazy big like a Great Dane.Needless to say we were crushed, especially because Bruno had really seized the moment and impressed us all with how exceptionally well-behaved he is.He greeted each family member with a friendly tail wag, rolled over for belly rubs, played nicely with the kids and was a perfect gentleman on their walk in the woods.Deep down we know it wasn’t meant to be but the fact re mains, Bruno was a star.So while we've established that Bruno is not a cat lover he is very people friendly and thrives on attention and affection.He loves belly rubs and though a little too big to be officially labelled a lap dog, he’ll do his best to squeeze in.He is a happy and playful dog who loves to run and chase his rubber Kong in the dog park, is good on the leash, enjoys long leisurely walks and as an added bonus he travels really well in the car.He is also wonderfully calm and is content to just hang out and chill.Bruno gets along with most of the dogs he meets, although he does seem to do best with females and submissive males.When out and about, away from the shelter, he pays little attention to other dogs and instead just keeps to himself and enjoys the company of his human companions.Simply put, he is a great dog who deserves a great home.Bruno is about 1.5 years old and is a very handsome shepherd mix.If you haven’t done so already, please take a moment to join our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/frontierani-malsociety where we will update Bruno’s profile so you can share his story with friends and family.iifi Our Facebook page is also a meet him, please send email great way to keep track of the frontieranimalsociety@gmail.c many animals who are featured om or better yet, give our adop-in this weekly column.tion coordinator Brenda a call To find out more about at 819-876-7747 any day of the Bruno or to arrange a visit to week between 8 a.m and 8 p.m. Page 10 Thursday, October 16, 2014 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record .Loca In April 2013, he was hired by the Cégep de Sherbrooke as athletic director.Stanstead, BCS off to soccer nationals BCS to host girls tourney, boys teams headed to Bermuda COURTESY BISHOPS COI.LEGE SCHOOL The BCS senior girls soccer team will host the 2014 CA1S championships this weekend.By Mike Hickey Special to the Record The Stanstead College and Bishop's College School senior soccer teams are busy preparing for the Canadian Association of Independent Schools National Championships this weekend.Lennoxville will be the site for the girls championships will play host to 12 teams vying for a national title.file field is divided into three pools of four teams with round-robin action scheduled for Saturday and Sunday morning.The top two teams in each pool will advance to the championship quarter-finals Sunday afternoon with the semi-finals slated for Monday morning at 10:30 a.m.The two winners advancing to the championship match at 1:30 p.m.BCS will meet Lower Canada College of Montreal Saturday morning.St.Mildred’s Lightbourn School of Oakville, Ont.! in the afternoon and then finish round-robin play Sunday morning against Country Day School of King City, Ont.The Spartans will play Pickering (Ont.)

with the top team in each pool advancing to Friday’s championship round with the gold medal final slated for Saturday afternoon.BCS will play Holy Trinity School, St.Andrew’s College and Selwyn House in round robin play while Stanstead meets Appleby College and Rothesay-Nether-wood School on Thursday and wrap up their preliminary round action Friday morning with a contest against the Cres- cent School.The nationals will not mark the end of the season for the four teams.Next week they will all participate in the ETIAC championships.Semi-final action takes place Wednesday, while the finals will be held next Thursday.Jubinville to Bishop’s Cont’d from Page 1 The former McGill running back, who holds a degree in physical education and a certificate in education in English as a Second Language (ESL), left his head coaching position in 2011 following a difficult knee surgery that left him little time to focus on football.He still remained with the establishment as an instructor.In 2012, Jubinville joined the Sherbrooke Vert et Or as a football consultant, assisting the coaching staff when needed.In April 2013, he was hired by the Cégep de Sherbrooke as athletic director, where he was in charge of the school’s athletic teams as well as its physical activity centre, the CAP.Jubinville also serves as a member of the board of directors for Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke, an organization that looks to support the region’s best athletes and coaches as well as help organizations that are looking to host major sporting events in the region.An interesting fact to note is that Bishop’s Dean of Student Affairs, Jackie Bailey, who oversees the athletic de partment, is also a member of the group’s board.Needless to say, jubinville will bring a very successful track record to the financially ailing school and department.With recent government cuts in education, and with the school already on the brink of another negative bud- get, Bishop’s will be looking to their new Sports Centre as a stream of revenue.Among other things, Jubinville will be tasked with increasing memberships and improving the offered recreation programs, as well as ensuring that the construction project remains on schedule and on budget.On the varsity side, Jubinville takes over a program whose football team had a breakout season in 2013, but has slumped this year, and whose other men’s teams have seen recent success, but whose women’s sports programs have had difficulty breaking into the win column in recent years.Over the summer, the department started a strategic review of the athletics program that is still ongoing.Jean-Benoit Jubvinville, who will be taking over Bishop's Athletics next month.>HUTO Cross fit or improve your running with True Conditioning’s TRX A Runner’s Mind Christine Blanchette Fall's cooler temperatures bring a need to bundle up before heading out into the elements.Despite the conditions, many runners for fitness sake will make every effort to maintain their workout regimen.Indeed, while a southbound thermometer may dampen your spirits to keep motivated, it can be a great opportunity to do some cross training at home or in the gym.Incorporating cross training into your running-routine can prevent injuries while strengthening your core.There are myriad options such as cycling, water running, or lifting weights at the gym.There is also a popular cross training technique that is used by the U.S.Military and professional sports teams to the every day fitness enthusiast, called TRX (Total Resistance exercise).It was invented by Randy Netrick, a former Navy Seal and Stanford MBA graduate.TRX strengthens the core, conditions your body and is a portable training tool that uses one’s body weight to complete exercises such as the side lunge or the hamstring runner, which is performed with raised hips off the floor while the core, including glutes, must be kept tight throughout to ensure proper form.In a recent interview with TRX True Conditioning studio co-owner Sophie Manfredi, a personal trainer, she talked about her passion for fitness and teaming up with her life partner, Ryan Kitchen who is also a personal fitness expert.“We opened (our business) at the beginning of February last year.I always wanted to go into personal training, and was working for Lululemon at the time,” Manfredi said.“I also have a sports background, being a competitive swimmer.Ryan was already working as a personal trainer and coaching Jujitsu.It was one day we went walking and saw this studio for lease.We went for it, and then I went for my personal training certification.” She adds, “The workouts (should be) as intense as you would like and (at) your own pace.It can be a challenging workout.If you want to do 20 reps it is up to you.It is good for all athletes from golfers, runners to team sports.” I had the opportunity to try one of their classes, and was greeted first by their other family member - Winston the dog.The TRX beginner class left me with a good workout.Throughout the exercises, 1 had control of how much I could challenge myself basically by changing my body position to add weight or not on each routine from the side lunge to the overhead squat.The benefits of using the TRX is the runner will have a stronger core, and improve coordination.In the class, I tried the side lunge exercise, and I was told it strengthens your inner thighs, hamstrings, quadriceps and glutes.The TRX company website states: “Make your body your machine by turning your body weight into resistance with TRX Suspension Train- COURTHSY Sophie Manfredi, Ryan Kitchen and Winston, their dog.ing.This fun total body conditioning class is guaranteed to increase your core strength, endurance and functional mobility.” Their fitness studio also offers the TRX Combo, personal training and yoga.By including cross training into your running regimen it will improve your performance.http:Hwww.trueconditioning.com/ www.runwithit.ca

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2014 Dear Annie: My grown son is an alcoholic.It has not interfered with his job so far, but it seems to be getting worse.His father drank himself to death, and I’m so worried he will go down the same path.He absolutely won’t discuss it.Last Mother’s Day, he promised to give up drinking, but a month later, I saw him guzzle two beers at a family picnic, and I remarked on it.He said he never wanted to speak to me again, and since then, he hasn’t.I’m not getting any younger, and I miss my son.I will be attending Al-Anon meetings, but is there anything else I can do?— Suffering in Illinois Dear Suffering: We’re so sorry your son has chosen not to deal with his alcoholism, but this is not something you can change for him.He must do it himself.You have made a wise decision to attend Al-Anon meetings.This is a wonderful organization for people whose lives are affected by a loved one’s drinking.The members there will give you coping strategies and a shoulder to cry on, as well as advice for dealing specifically with your son.We hope he contacts you soon.Dear Annie: My dearest girlfriend SUDOKU Difficulty: 4 (of 5) 8 3 2 1 7 4 6 9 2 5 6 9 4 5 8 9 2 3 7 I 6 4 1 2 5 4 9 10-16-14 ©2014 JFS/KF Diet, by Universal Uclick for UFS HOW TO PLAY: Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 box es must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.PREVIOUS SOLUTION 9 2 6 8 5 7 1 3 4 7 5 3 2 1 4 8 6 9 1 1 4 8 3 6 9 2 7 5 6 1 4 7 8 2 9 5 3 3 8 9 6 4 5 7 2 1 2 7 5 9 3 1 4 8 6 5 9 7 1 2 6 3 4 8 (4 3 1 5 7 8 6 9 2 8 6 2 4 9 3 5 1 7 insists on putting a dessert spoon at the top of the dinner plates when she hosts a formal dinner.She says that’s what etiquette demands.I think a dessert spoon should be served with dessert instead of sitting out on the table during the entire dinner.Who’s right?— Etiquette Challenged in Dallas Dear Dallas: In a formal setting, dessert forks and spoons are brought out with the dessert.For an informal setting, however, it is perfectly OK to place dessert utensils above the plate or with the rest of the forks and spoons (the fork on the left, closest to the plate, and the spoon on the right, closest to the plate, because those will be the last utensils used).Dear Annie: I usually agree with your advice, but I think you missed the mark with “Disappointed,” the frustrated bridesmaid.She said the bride ordered hideous dresses, and when the bridesmaids tried to get her to find another, she didn’t like any of them.When “Disappointed” found her own dress, the bride didn’t like it.She then offered to drop out of the wedding party.At the rehearsal dinner, the bride announced that she had a new maid of honor becausè the other one didn’t want to give a speech.When a woman agrees to be a bridesmaid, she agrees to the bride’s choice of dress.If they are ugly, no one attending the wedding blames the bridesmaids.“Disappointed” complained that she bought three dresses she could “ill afford.” However, one of them was because the bride was trying to please her bridesmaids, and the last one was because “Disappointed” thought she had better taste than the bride.The bride was kind enough to allow her out of the maid-of-honor role, while keeping her in the wedding party.As for the “he” that the bride told at the rehearsal dinner?My guess is the bride thought it sounded better than “my best friend is too selfish to honor my choice of bridesmaid dress.” Personally, I think “Disappointed" sounds like a bridesmaidzilla.— Should Have Eloped Dear Should Have: We appreciate your spin on the situation, but brides need to take their attendants’ financial situations into consideration when choosing a dress.And a thoughtful bride will ask her bridesmaids to help select the dress to begin with, preventing exactly this type of rancor.As for the lie at the rehearsal dinner, we don’t understand why the bride felt it was necessary to make a public announcement altogether, surprising (and embarrassing) her friend.We will say, however, that an apology — on either side — can go a long way toward repairing a friendship.We hope they can do it.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

South has seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs.So, if declarer can get three diamond tricks, the contract will be home.But he has to realize that the finesse is a mirage.Suppose South takes the first trick with dummy’s spade ace, runs the diamond queen, and the finesse wins.South gets North 10-16-14 4 A 4 V 5 3 2 ?Q J 10 9 * 8 7 4 2 West East 4 Q J 10 9 8 *73 VQJ98 *1076 ?K 5 2 ?8643 * 5 * Q J 10 9 South * K 6 5 2 r A K 4 * A 7 * A K 6 3 Dealer: South Vulnerable: Both South West North East 2* Pass 2 ?Pass 2NT Pass 3NT All pass Opening lead: * Q only two tricks from the suit and will also need clubs to break 3-2.Instead, declarer should be willing to sacrifice one diamond trick to get three in return.He should win the first trick with his spade king, cash his diamond ace, and play another diamond.Even if he wins that second diamond trick, he plays the suit again and must succeed.CROSSWORD Across 1 Dangler on a dog 6 D-Day city 10 “A likely story!” 14 19th-century English novelist Charles 15 Greenish-blue 16 Gear teeth 17 'Programs that generate hardware sales 19 Religious offshoot 20 Paperless publication 21 “Ditto!" 23 Having “but one life to give for my country,” to Hale 26 'Certain repair site 28 “__you finished?” 29 Feel sorry about 31 Gael or Druid 32 Retin-A target 33 Greenish-blue 35___Martin: flashy car 39 LAX listing 40 "Brings up to speed 42 “Surfin’ 43 Like painter Jan Steen 45 Assents at sea 46 Capture 47 Extremely attentive 49 Big laugh 51 It may need boosting 52 'Bargain for less jail time 56 Capital on the Sava River 58 Jose’s “Moulin Rouge” co-star 59 Salvage crew acronym 61 Literary bell town 62 Climactic announcement suggested by the starts of the answers to starred clues 67 Shed tool 68 Quaint oath 69 Aitipasto ingredient 70 Span, ladies 71 Feature of some stadiums 72 Green Down 1 Aggravate 2 Agnus___ 3 Latvian chess champ of 1960-’61 4 Only woman to outwit Holmes 5 Eccentric sort 6 Reading at the checkout counter 7 Laid-back sort 8 Indy circuit 9 Kind of surprise kick 10 Confronts rudely 11 Word in two state names 12 White house?13 Lens setting F 1 8 1 M A F 1 N A N G P AI U F^A E H A__S _E ^OR 1 G I N A LÜ L E E "e!
