Tacchetto said his son, who had just turned 30 before his departure, had a love of people.\u201cHis idea was that everyone around the world was interesting, that every culture was interesting.And he wanted to be close to people, to see them in their own surroundings.'' The Canadian government had issued serious warnings about Mauritania, Mali and Burkina Faso.The Global Affairs Canada website says travellers should \u201cavoid all travel'' _ the most severe warning _ to Mali and \u201cavoid all non-essential travel'' to Burkina Faso and Mauritania, mostly due to terrorism and banditry concerns.For Togo, considered a safer African country, Canada says visitors should \u201cexercise a high degree of caution'' _ the same warning it gives for France and the United Kingdom.Loubani said in an interview he does- n't know either of the missing people.\u201cBut I would be very surprised if (Blais) told her mom: 'Hey, I'm going to Togo, and I haven't looked it up, and I don't know anything about it.' She probably thought about it and calculated the risks.'' Young people from prosperous western countries should consider humanitarian work around the world, Loubani said, as long as they understand the risks.\u201cI think my advice to young people who are thinking of working in dangerous places is: The world needs you.Only you will change the situation that exists in other parts of the world _ in collaboration with locals and supporting local struggles.'' Chris Mathers, a former RCMP officer whose company provides training to federal government agencies on analyzing security risks while abroad, said Ottawa issues travel warnings for a reason.Travellers to countries under serious warnings need to be constantly vigilant about whether they are being watched by corrupt police and military or by kidnappers looking for ransom.If Blais and Tacchetto wanted to travel to Togo _ a relatively safe place on the continent _ they should have flown into the country and made prior contact with people they trusted to take care of them.A road trip through Mauritania, Mali and Burkina Faso was not smart, he said in an interview.\u201cWhen I say they are foolish, I am being polite,'' Mathers said.\u201cI've been to Mali.There is no rule of law _ nothing.If I don't like you, I shoot you.These places are lawless.'' Loubani said he understands there are \u201cadrenaline junkies out there,'' but very few people travel to dangerous places just for the thrill.Almost everyone, he said, \u201cwhether it's misguided or earnest, has some greater purpose that they are going there for.'' Despite getting shot in both legs, Loubani doesn't regret his work in Gaza - and he is currently considering another trip to do similar work in an even more dangerous global hot spot that he prefers not to identify.To live is to take risks, Loubani said, adding that just walking out the door of your home carries its share of danger.\u201cIt's the same thing for humanitarian work,'' he said.\u201cYou are always incurring a risk, and you have to convince yourself that your risk is worthwhile to accomplish something for other people, so that they can have the life you want to have.'' Disappearance of Canadian in Africa highlights risk of ignoring travel warnings Load limits over for East Angus bridge Record Staff Following recent work on the Taschereau Bridge on Route 214 (Angus Street North) above the Saint-François River in East Angus, the Ministry of Transportation is advising motorists that the structure is no longer subject to any load limits.The newly repaired bridge is now accessible to all.In order to plan their outings, drivers of heavy vehicles are advised to consult Quebec 511 regularly to learn about restrictions related to loads and dimensions in force on the highway network.

and Sundays during the survey period.LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 place in French, the coordinator said that the group is not against the sharing of a small number of English poems as a part of the festivities.\u201cWe are open to it,\u201d St-Laurent said, adding that the general feeling toward the poem collection is that more is better.Although the group shows every sign of intending to go ahead with their announced presentation schedule, this year\u2019s performance is currently seeking a new venue.It was originally meant to take place at the Irisium event space on Wellington Street North, but that business recently announced that it will be closing its doors as of the end of this week.In a post on their Facebook page, Sherbrooke Prend la Parole says that they will provide an update on the new location as soon as possible.Anyone wishing to submit a poem is invited to reach out to the group via a private message on facebook or by

Inc., the Quebec Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks, and the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department have joined forces in a Bi-national Angler Survey on Lake Memphremagog that began at the end of last year and continues through November 2020.Two clerk teams - one for the Canadian portion of the Lake, the other for the American portion - will interview anglers on the lake 4 days per week, including Saturdays and Sundays during the survey period.Survey activities will include visual counts of anglers, interviews with anglers to obtain information about fishing efforts, catches and harvest rates and biological data such as the length, weight, and age of fish kept by anglers.The Great Lakes Fishery Commission funded the two-year survey.Three quarters of the lake is in Quebec, but the watershed is in Vermont.Pete Emerson, Fisheries Biologist with Vermont Fish & Wildlife pointed out that the information gathered is extremely useful in helping manage the lake's fish populations.Emerson said all information shared with the survey clerks will remain confidential.\"Ultimately, anglers providing honest, accurate information will allow you to manage the resource and ensure that quality fishing opportunities remain in Lake Memphremagog for years to come,\" he said.Arrests made in Bromont attempted murder Record Staff The Sûreté du Québec's Major Crimes

(MCN) offers workshops tailored to parents, guardians and youth from different age groups to help avoid the exploitation of children.The Bedford-Farnham Community Learning Centre will host a MCN workshop at the end of January.\u201cWe would rather be proactive than wait until a child goes missing,\u201d explained MCN Director General Pina Ar- camone.\u201cIn our experience, any child can be at risk,\u201d she said.According to Arcamone, the program, launched 11 months ago, is primarily offered in schools, but is available for community organizations and youth groups as well.The youth workshop, called SHINE ((Self-esteem, Healthy relationships, Independence, No means no, Empowerment) was designed to address youth aged 10-13 and deals with assertiveness, independence, setting boundaries, sex gender stereotypes, and the importance of developing healthy relationships with others.Arcamone said the program is also available in adapted versions for children with special needs, LGBTQ youth and First Nations youth.The workshops address real world interactions and boundaries as well as issues that can arise online.\u201cWe\u2019re talking about not just physical or emotional, but virtual boundaries,\u201d Arcamone said.\u201cYou really have to think before you click on your mouse.\u201d \u201cA lot of very young children are on social media at a very young age,\u201d commented Arcamone, adding that there have been cases of children as young as 8 years old sending inappropriate photos.\u201cTechnology is moving at such a quick pace, it\u2019s difficult for parents and educators to keep up,\u201d Arcamone said.Parallel to the youth workshops are seminars available to parents and guardians to teach how to communicate with teens, how to offer support when they are in distress, what resources are available and how to spot red flags.\u201cSomething could be happening with your child,\u201d she explained, while children are outside of the home environment.She used the example of coming home with expensive gifts as a possible red flag.\u201cWe want to plant positive seeds before kids reach a point where they are trying to solve their own problems,\u201d commented Arcamone.Various workshops are given regularly by the MCN from children from Kindergarten through high school.As young as five years old they are taught about consent, and taught to learn their own basic personal information; name, address.They are also taught how to find safe adults and safe spaces, and what to say during an emergency.\u201cThe content evolves as kids get older,\u201d she said, to topics like being a good digital citizen and cyber-bullying.According to the MCN website in Quebec alone, there are over 5,000 reports made on a yearly basis, 90 per cent of which are runaways between 12-17 years old.Arcamone said the mission of the MCN is to eradicate child sexual exploitation.Providing workshops like SHINE and other resources is a means of reaching youth and offering support before a situation becomes extreme.The Bedford-Farnham Community Learning Centre will host a MCN workshop on Tuesday, Jan.29 at Butler Elementary School (19 Rix Street).The workshop will take place from 6:30 -8:30 p.m.is designed for parents and guardians and will deal with safety online and in the real world, with a focus on building strong boundaries, healthy relationships and critical thinking skills.For more information or to reserve a spot, email baileyh@etsb.qc.ca.

If you\u2019ve taken the early morning VIA Rail train between Quebec City and Montreal in the darkness of winter and have a window seat on the southward facing side, you are treated to what might be described as a terrifying thrill ride, or rather a thrill while sitting still on a siding.The passenger train slows to a halt less than an hour out of station.Moments later a freight train comes barrelling along the main track, seemingly inches away from the window glass on the passenger train, with the breath-tak- ing power of millions of tons of metal hurtling along thin strips of steel.But the freight train goes on and on and on, and eventually the passenger\u2019s awe starts to turn to annoyance at having been made to wait so long while cargo takes precedence over people.This, in brief, is the main reason VIA Rail has been pushing its $6 billion plan for high frequency rail (HFR) service on the Quebec City to Windsor corridor.Reports have been surfacing for the past few months that the federal government will green light the project sometime this (election) year.When VIA Rail unveiled the HFR vision in early 2016, the crown corporation president, Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, rosily speculated the new line, featuring dedicated track, could be running in the fall of 2019.As a Transport Department feasibility study nears completion, that target date has been postponed considerably, although based on the president\u2019s three- year timeline, the HFR could be operating by 2022.Details of the route have not been revealed, but it is assumed at least the Quebec City to Montreal stretch of the line will revive passenger rail service on the historic former Canadian Pacific route on the north shore of the St.Lawrence.That line, which the Quebec Gatineau Railway Company purchased in 1997, runs through Portneuf, Trois Rivieres, and Joliette on its way to Montreal.(It also passes a place on the map near Batiscan called Brise Culotte, for whatever reason).Quebec-Gatineau is in turn owned by Genesee & Wyoming Inc., headquartered in Darien, Connecticut, which operates 120 short-line railways in five countries around the world.The company traces its history to a salt mine at Retsof, New York, once one of the largest in the world.One of the former CP spur lines Que- bec-Gatineau still operates is the track that runs through the tunnel dug beneath Quebec City from the north near Boulevard Charest to the riverfront at l\u2019Anse au Foulon at the foot of the Plains of Abraham.The story of that tunnel is an intriguing bit of Canadian rail and ship lore.CP needed a way to get passengers on board its ships whose height prevented them from passing under the Quebec Bridge.Having both the resources and boldness, the company decided to build a tunnel to connect a dock at l\u2019Anse au Foulon with its main rail line to the north.Train passengers from all over Canada and the United States would arrive at the dock and then board the ship for Europe or elsewhere.In an engineering and construction feat that might inspire the builders of Quebec City\u2019s proposed tramway, 600 workers dug the 1.6 km tunnel in less than one year.The tunnel was opened in time to welcome the Empress of Britain (one of two CP ships to bear the name) on June 1, 1931.The company that built the tunnel, incidentally, was run by Harry \u201cBig Pants\u201d McLean, a wildly colourful character, who worked on many of the big infrastructure projects in a bustling Canada, and whose motto was \u201cGet the goddamn thing done - never mind asking anyone\u2019s permission.\u201d Many years ago, on a warm summer\u2019s day, a dad, his two sons and the dog, armed with a flashlight, headed off on an adventure to walk the full length of the tunnel.At the midway point, there was scarcely a glimmer of light visible from either entrance to the tunnel.An eerie feeling to be in complete darkness deep beneath a busy city.It\u2019s hard to get big things built these days.As VIA Rail is discovering, it\u2019s just as hard to get some things rebuilt.But now there could be some light at the end of the tunnel leading to a brighter future for passenger rail travel.EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , January 14, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record It\u2019s hard to get big things built these days.As VIA Rail is discovering, it\u2019s just as hard to get some things rebuilt.Re publication \"Nina Owens\" street as on Thursday, Jan 10, 2019.DEAR EDITOR;

Danielle Serdachny gave Canada an early 1-0 lead, picking up the rebound of an Alexie Guay shot from the point.Julia Gosling also earned an assist on the goal.The United States tied the game late in the second period before taking a 2-1 lead just over six minutes into the third.Anne Cherkowski tied the game 2-2 with less than nine minutes remaining after being set up by Gosling and Serdachny.\u201cWe are incredibly proud of our team's effort and our athletes' ability to overcome adversity when we found ourselves trailing in the game,'' said head coach Howie Draper.``It's a great feeling to win a world championship and bring a gold medal back to Canada, and I couldn't be more proud of our athletes and staff for this amazing accomplishment.''

noticed that after running, especially when I\u2019ve really pushed myself, I\u2019ll cough for a while.A friend says it\u2019s something called exer- cise-induced asthma.Why is it happening?Dear Reader: Your symptoms are in line with something known as exercise- induced bronchoconstriction, often referred to as exercise-induced asthma.It usually happens after \u2014 but sometimes during \u2014 exercise that\u2019s vigorous enough to significantly increase your heart rate and respiration.In some people, this post-exercise period of coughing is accompanied by additional symptoms like a tight chest, shortness of breath or wheezing.In the majority of cases, these symptoms prove to be temporary and breathing returns to normal.Asthma is a chronic disease in which the airways to the lungs become narrowed or inflamed, which interferes with breathing.This inflammation often makes people with asthma sensitive to a range of factors, including dust, mold, tobacco smoke, pollen, pet dander, air pollution, chemicals, certain medications, exertion and cold air.Known as triggers, these sensitivities can cause an asthma attack in which the airways become even more inflamed and symptoms worsen.In severe cases, an asthma attack can cause airways to bec - ome fully obstructed and can be fatal.Unlike people with asthma, who have multiple triggers, those with exercise- induced asthma experience symptoms only during or after exertion.Some find that their episodes are associated with exercising in air that is colder or dryer than normal.The same workouts that produce no symptoms in the warmer months may bring on coughing and wheezing when the weather turns cold, or when indoor heating takes the moisture out of the air.In most people, symptoms start five to 20 minutes after beginning to exercise, or five to 10 minutes after exertion has ended, and are short-lived.Diagnosis of exercise-induced asthma typically begins with a resting lung function test.This is done with a breathing device known as a spirometer, which measures the volume of your inhale, the volume of your exhale and how quickly you expel the air from your lungs.This may be followed by an exercise challenge test, like running on a treadmill, riding a stationary bike or climbing stairs, in order to trigger symptoms.The exercise challenge ends with another spirometry test, which will reveal any changes in lung function.Other conditions can have symptoms similar to those of exercise-induced asthma.These include allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), obesity, gastro-intestinal reflux, vocal cord disfunction, congestive heart failure and certain lung diseases.As a result, we think it would be wise to check in with your family doctor about what\u2019s happening.Depending on his or her findings, your doctor may suggest using an asthma inhaler or bronchodilator prior to the start of exercise.Certain behaviors can help as well.Take time to warm up before exercise, as this can help lessen symptoms significantly.Infection plays a role in asthma symptoms, so don\u2019t exercise when you\u2019re sick.If you have allergies, take note of pollen counts.Keep tabs on symptoms and, if they get worse, see your doctor.The good news is that with proper management, people with exercise-induced asthma can safely stay active.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Runner\u2019s asthma triggered by noticeable exertion MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 2019 Dear Annie: I recently went on vacation with my mom, stepdad and siblings.We went to the river where my stepdad has been going for about 30 years.Everyone else in the community has been going there every year for just as long, if not longer.Now, my mom and stepdad met each other while they were married, and, well, you can put the rest together.Many families we know have taken sides ever since, so being the daughter, I\u2019m no stranger to weird vibes in social situations and people choosing sides.Upon meeting the rivergoers, I quickly realized that some of them were on my stepdad\u2019s ex-wife\u2019s side.How did I know?They avoided talking to us and didn\u2019t invite us to partake in group watersport activities.In one case, after I introduced myself, the woman looked at me, scoffed and walked away.There were plenty of nice people, though, so we still had a great time.This isn\u2019t something I take personally.The situation has nothing to do with me, and the affair happened six years ago.If they\u2019re getting all hung up about something that\u2019s not even their business, that\u2019s their problem.But I never know whether I should stand up for myself, kill them with kindness or just ignore them.What do you think?\u2014 Boating With Baggage Dear Boating: It sounds as if you\u2019re expert at navigating these treacherous rapids, so kudos.It\u2019s incredibly mature of you not to take the antics of your stepdad\u2019s ex-wife\u2019s friends personally.The bitterness and resentment they\u2019re holding on to is only dragging them down.Continue being pleasant in the face of their ugly attitudes.Pretend you\u2019re oblivious to their bad vibes.They can scoff until they\u2019re blue in the face.But don\u2019t be a doormat, either.If one of them says something outright rude to you, you have a right to stand up for yourself.Dear Annie: What is the etiquette concerning who pays for a date these days?I am realizing I may be a bit old-fashioned, as I still think that a man should pick up the check at least the first few times he goes out with someone.I\u2019ve been on three dates with a guy recently, and we\u2019ve split it every time.For our first date, he picked out an expensive restaurant that I would never normally go to, as it\u2019s way out of my price range.I assumed he would only invite me to such an expensive place if he planned on covering the bill.Before I was seeing him, I dated a man for about six months, and we always split everything, too.If I did- n\u2019t have cash on me, he expected me to pay him back later.I work full time and can support myself, and I don\u2019t need or expect anyone to spoil me.But I still appreciate small gestures of chivalry.Am I out of step with the times?\u2014 Halfsies Dear Halfsies: A good rule, widely used today, is that the person who does the asking does the paying \u2014 at least on the first date.So, if this man asked you out, it would be courteous of him to pay, and vice versa.After the first date, going Dutch is commonplace.But there\u2019s nothing wrong with treating your significant other to dinner occasionally, just as a nice gesture, regardless of gender.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

Now West had to play a club, allowing declarer into the dummy with the club queen and giving access to those three top hearts."]
