PRESS/MATHIEU BELANGER-POOL Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao gives the thumbs up as he presents a provincial budget, Thursday at the legislature in Quebec City.The foundation of the Eastern Townships rehabilitation center, known as the CRE, launched the second edition of its \u201cDéfi adapte ta course\u201d (Adapt Your Run Challenge) halfmarathon fundraiser earlier this week.The event, which organizers hope will raise enough money for the purchase of two adapted bicycles by the downtown Sherbrooke facility, will take place on Sept.20 in Ayer\u2019s Cliff.\u201cWe chose adapted bicycle this year because it is an activity that, once you have the equipment, it\u2019s very accessible for everyone,\u201d explained physiotherapist Ernie Gagnon.\u201cIt is an activity that is very normalizing for our users.\u201d Julie Joseph, head of the Traumatology program at the CRE, explained that the two bikes that the centre hopes to acquire average around $2,000 each, and will become a part of a lending program.\u201cWhat we want is for users to be able to try these bicycles out,\u201d Joseph said.\u201cThey will remain at the CRE but be available on short-term loan for all the users\u201d The plan is to acquire one more sport-focused bicycle and one for more casual riding to give users opportunities to try out different kinds of hand-pedaled bikes.If enough money is raised, she added that the centre will also try to get some form of adapted equipment for winter sports that will operate in a similar \u201ctry before you buy\u201d style.Karine Martin, chairman of the CRE

still being naughty Offer a lollipop of wrapped broccoli flower on a stick for April Fool\u2019s Good Reads it Eleanor Brown Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were -Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.Come Wednesday you may end up putting salt in your morning cuppa instead of sugar.Or perhaps some whippersnapper will wrap the toilet seat in cling wrap.What an odd tradition.As a British magazine correspondent asked in 1708, \"Whence proceeds the custom of making April Fools?\" In fact there\u2019s no clear answer.But wouldn\u2019t life be a bit dull without the trickster?\u201cBeatrix Potter was born in London in 1866, and like all upper-class Victorian Pierce c/> children, she was expected to be a model of good behaviour,\u201d notes the introduction of A Very Naughty Rabbit: Tales Of Mayhem And Mischief (published in 2002 and filed in the Lennoxville Library at C-138): \u2018\u201cChildren should be seen and not heard,\u2019 was a favourite maxim of those days, and Beatrix was an obedient and well-behaved daughter.But she could still create the fun of being naughty in her imagination.She also kept pets of her own in the schoolroom of her house and recognized that dogs, rabbits and mice had much more leeway than she did to indulge in mischief.\u201d More than 100 years later, Potter\u2019s stories \u201cstill remain a constant inspiration to the rebellious spirit.\u201d Nonetheless, Potter\u2019s stories always end with the bad being punished.Crime never pays in the 11 rather bloodthirsty tales collected up in this anthology.Little Peter Rabbit\u2019s mother warns him not to go into Mr.McGregor\u2019s garden: \u201cYour Father had an accident there: he was put in a pie by Mrs.McGregor.\u201d And Peter\u2019s pal Benjamin Bunny is whipped by his father when he too, sneaks into the McGregor garden for fun and lettuce.The short stories in this book (the first of which was written in 1902) are full of tricksters, who then suffer horribly for their rule-breaking.Yet Peter goes right back into that garden.Or consider that most popular of tricksters, the vampire, who chomps down on human blood, but hides in the shadows.The Society Of S, by Susan Hubbard (2007, filed in Adult Fiction), introduces us to an intensely sheltered 13-year-old girl.Her father looks like \u201ca gothic prince\u201d: he is a biochemist who works in a secret lab in the basement.And there must be something wrong with her camera, because dad\u2019s not in the photo she just took, only the chair in which he sat.The teen is trying to understand who she is, while her father fears who - or what - she may become.This is a very readable yet literary book, filled with passages from Edgar Allen Poe and Jack Kerouac.Our youngster goes on the road to find her mother.Author Tamora Pierce understands the double-edged sword that is the trickster.A fantasy writer, her Alanna quartet of books for young people tracks a young woman secretly training to be a GRIL CARSON LEVINE False Apology Poems Illustrated by MATTHEW CORDELL knight: it\u2019s not a proper profession for a female, and she\u2019ll be in deep trouble if caught.A few years on, Pierce followed up on the next generation with Trickster\u2019s Choice (2003, filed in Young Adult, along with the sequel, Trickster\u2019s Queen, and many other Pierce novels).But here it\u2019s not the main character who adopts the trickster\u2019s pose.Aly is 16 and daughter of Alanna The Lioness.Her mother is now a famous knight who\u2019s always off fighting wars, and her father is a glamourous spymaster.Aly, on the other hand, is bored.She finds adventure when she\u2019s kidnapped and sold as a slave.Somehow, her life is being shaped by a trickster god, Kyprioth.And even though Aly knows a trickster is as often enchanted by good as by evil, she has little choice but to trust Kyprioth when help is offered.Gail Carson Levine is the perfect read for All Fools\u2019 Day.Her book is titled Forgive Me, I Meant To Do It: False Apology Poems (2012, filed in C-150), and plays on the nursery rhymes and fairy tales we hear as children.But here, a rival for Jill\u2019s affections tosses a banana peel at Jack\u2019s feet, and is now dating the girl.And no, the litterer is not sorry at all.\u201cFor those of you who lack an ounce of mean and are reading this book only for research into unpleasant people, you can write a real apology poem,\u201d Levine helpfully suggests.Cont\u2019d on Page 8 Ben by Daniel Shelton NATHAN^T .YOUFEU-Asleep while I WAS GETTING REAPYFCR , _

entrepreneurial spirit, a long history of successful businesses, and people who can make things happen\u201d Sherbrooke business incubator heats up By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke The former Sherbrooke Police station, located at 400 Marquette Street, has once again become a hub of activity with the official opening of the Espace-INC entrepreneurial accelerator/incubator project.Designed as a creative/collaborative space for new local businesses to kick-start their ideas through networking and mentorship opportunities, Espace-INC opened its doors to businesses in January and, as of Wednesday\u2019s official launch, has twelve different projects underway within its walls, with space for more to come.Chloé Legris, CEO of the new incubator, explained that the whole point of the new undertaking is to allow entrepreneurs to overcome professional isolation and maximize their potential by means of shared office space and an array of activities focused on support and networking with peers.Espace-INC, calling itself both an \u201centrepreneurial ecosystem\u201d and a \u201cliving space\u201d attempts to remove the focus on the \u201cwhere\u201d of new businesses so they can devote greater energy to the \u201cwhat\u201d of their new ideas.According to Legris, the accelerator and incubator offers three different support programs: cowork, pre-acceleration, and acceleration.Depending on the state of development an applicant is at.The cowork profile offers just the space and the equipment therein, offering businesses access to the community at Espace-INC, but none of its mentoring or acceleration services.Pre-acceleration adds support from the peers and partners of the incubator, and full acceleration builds in what the new enterprise is calling a \u201ctactical team\u201d which offers as much as 150 hours of coaching and expert advice catered to the needs of the start-up.The admission criteria are different for each program.\u201cEspace-INC has been created based on the \u2018lean startup\u2019 approach, and we encourage our entrepreneurs to follow the same philosophy.According to this method, startups should validate an initial version of their product or offer, with the goal of making it better and codeveloping it with customers.In our case, the customers are the startups,\u201d said Legris.\u201cThis is our pilot year, and we want to use it to refine our offer and make sure that it meets the real needs of users in the field and that it yields the expected results.\u201d \u201cEspace-INC has, in only a few months, allowed me to grow as an entrepreneur by accompanying in the achievement of my goals,\u201d said Marie Fortier of Mes Cours Prenateaux, one of the companies getting support from the new incubator.\u201cI want to thank all those involved in the incubator project and applaud its birth.\u201d Many seasoned businesspeople from Sherbrooke and the surrounding area have made commitments to act as ambassadors and mentors for the project.Among them is Blair McIntosh, President and CEO of Motrec International.\u201cWhen Chloé and her colleague Alain-Olivier Desbois contacted me to discuss the new business incubator project here in Sherbrooke, it struck me with particular interest because I have believed for a long time that this is the kind of initiative that will harness the energy and passion of up and coming entrepreneurs and existing entrepreneurs with products of substance and great potential,\u201d McIntosh said.\u201cSherbrooke is blessed with an abundance of entrepreneurial spirit, a long history of successful businesses, and people who can make things happen in a competitive global market.I encourage everyone to support Espace-INC\u2019s team to ensure that we harness the energy and potential that exists in our business community today.\u201d The Motrec president said that the incubator\u2019s interest in harnessing the advantages of the bilingual community in the region was particularly appealing to him.\u201cWe have to practice our entrepreneurs to pitch, sell, and deal in English,\u201d Cracked windshield prompts unscheduled stop The Associated Press Burlington, Vt.A cracked windshield forced a US Airways jet flying from Philadelphia to Montreal to make an unscheduled landing in Burlington, Vt.WCAX television reported that the flight\u2019s pilot noticed the crack developing midair and landed at Burlington In- in Burlington, Vt.ternational Airport on Thursday morning.Airport operations foreman Doug Wood says the crack was growing larger and the pilots opted to land and have it inspected rather than risk losing the windshield.The airline scheduled a bus to transport the approximately 50 passengers onboard from the airport to Montreal.Correction An article on

Fortier of Mes Cours Prénataux; Blair McIntosh, president and CEO of Motrec; Chloë Legris, CEO of Espace-INC (behind); Charles Beaupré, president of SE2; and Peter Cassar, CEO of SherWeb at the launch of Espace-INC, a business incubator in downtown Sherbrooke.Legris added.\u201cIt\u2019s part of the reality of our economy.\u201d The creation of an open and inclusive environment for business development has caught the eye of several local businesses, inspiring financial and service partnerships.SherWeb President Peter Cassar was present at Wedensday\u2019s launch to commend the organizers of the new program for their initiative and to announce that his company would be contributing $200,000 every year to technological services for the incubator\u2019s businesses.Other business partners include Deloitte, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton and Enerkem, among others.Over the course of its first year, the incubator intends to welcome roughly thirty new entrepreneurs, with about 10 in each program.Currently focused on the building\u2019s third floor, office space will expand downwards while the former garage is transformed into what Legris called \u201ca mechanical prototype manufacturing and maker-space\u201d for those businesses requiring such a space.High-speed driving costs young driver Record Staff Sherbrooke A young driver from Sherbrooke was stopped late Wednesday afternoon after SQ.patrol officers caught him traveling at over 165 kilometres per hour on Highway 10 in Austin.The offense earned the 17-year old driver a $133 fine.(The fine is that low because the Criminal Procedure Code, set the maximum penalty issued to a minor at $100 plus costs.) If he had been of age, the fine would have been $1,103.In addition, the driver\u2019s license has been suspended for seven days and 14 demerit points have been added to his record._\t_ DART A/touranament STARTS AT 1 P.M.Mixed doubles/ bring your own partner FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BREAST CANCER SOCIETY Saturday, April 11 at the Old Lennoxville Golf Cours 7 games 301 $5./player For INFORMATION Mary Dezan §19-823-1392 annual event Everyone welcome!

recipients of the second round of their \u201cPrêt a Entreprendre\u201d (Ready to begin) startup-support loans program on Wednesday morning.The SCC celebrated round 2 as the realization of $335,000 in support to new local businesses over the last 18 months The recipients in the Eastern Townships and Central Quebec regions are Immune Biosolutions.Imeka, Novom Networks, Lumed, Bri-o, Alexandre dit Sandy, and Pic & Pac Solutions.Applicants, who were required to be within the first five years of their business, were eligible for up to $30,000 in interest-free, unsecured loans to support start-up costs.Those selected by the inter-regional committee will also be given access to a comprehensive accompaniment plan in the form of individually tailored mentoring and support.It is an honor to be able to present these talented new businesspeople with the opportunity to participate in this initiative,\u201d said David Quirion, chairman of the inter-regional selection committee.\u201cFinancial support and access to a network of experts are precious supports, particularly when we are starting out with an entrepreneurial dream.\u201d Frédéric Leduc of Immune Biosolutions praised the program as significantly more accessible than other types of financial aid.\u201cSome processes can be so complex that actually cost you money,\u201d Leduc shared, explaining that he and his two business partners entered the business world as science students with very little financial know-how.\u201cThis program was easy to apply for and understand, and gave us 6-8 months more time to get on our feet.\u201d Éric Allard of Novom Networks echoed the notion that it is not easy for new businesses to find money.\u201cWe operate on the three f s,\u201d Allard said, \u201cfun, faith, and financing.That third F is the hardest to get, but in some ways it is also the most important.\u201d The \u201cPrêt à Entreprendre\u201d program, he said, adds a fourth f, \u201cfluid,\u201d in that it makes things run very smoothly.Annie Lessard, president of the Sherbrooke Chamber of Commerce, hailed the support initiative as unique in the country.\u201cAs always, our Chamber of Commerce has the vocation of encouraging and promoting entrepreneurship and free expression in the region,\u201d Lessard said.\u201cThrough this program a vast network is being made available to give service to our new entrepreneurs.This support of the whole business community represents an added commitment to the success of our young start-ups.\u201d The \u201cPrêt à Entreprendre\u201d program is set to take place over five years with up to 300 entrepreneurs of all ages being supported across all regions of Quebec.More information on the program and application process is available on the \u201cPrêt à Entreprendre\u201d website, www.pretaentreprendre.com.A third round of applications for businesses closes on Monday.CBC slashing 144 positions from local services, Radio Canada cuts 100 By Cassandra $zklarski The Canadian Press Toronto CBC is slashing 244 jobs from local news services across the country as its plans to shift some of its limited resources to its digital operations.The cuts include 144 positions from English-language services and 100 jobs on the French side, which include 20 vacant positions and retirements.Meanwhile, the public broadcaster is adding 80 new digital jobs as it works towards offering a continuous news stream for mobile users.Jennifer McGuire, Editor-in-Chief of CBC News, announced the English layoffs in a note to staff, which stressed that no stations would close and all local radio programming would be maintained.The job losses include 37 positions in Alberta, 30 in Ontario and 25 in British Columbia.McGuire admitted that \u201clocal services will be

looking at efficiencies where we find them and we\u2019re looking at how we work differently.\u201d Most of the cuts are related to previously announced plans to shorten local supper-hour newscasts to 30 or 60 minutes.McGuire said the shortened newscasts will be introduced in October, as will a plan to broadcast Radio One morning shows on TV.Shows in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, Charlottetown, St.John\u2019s, N.L., and the North will be trimmed to 60 minutes, while programs in Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Windsor, Montreal and Fredericton will be chopped to 30 minutes.But that doesn\u2019t mean less local coverage, McGuire insisted.\u201cIt depends how you define it.We actually see it as being more, but we\u2019re Restrictions in Zones 2 and 3 start on April 6.As in past

issues.This year\u2019s symposium has a particular focus on how knowledge about international issues (armed conflicts, inequalities or climate change) is framed, studied and addressed by a variety of actors such as scientists, politicians, corporations, journalists, and social movements.A panel discussion will be held entitled Debunking Religious Fundamentalism with Bishop\u2019s University faculty members David Webster, Osire Glacier, and Christina Reimer.There will be discussions on topics looking at it wholistically,\u201d she said, pointing to plans to add one-minute news updates to

The scientists insist, carbon has dire consequences and ignoring the opportunities we are missing by pushing aside this urgency is doing a lot of damage, not only to the environment, but to our economy so in need of of a carbon-less future.Establishing greenhouse gas reduction targets equal to those in the US would be a good start.Even this feeble goal has been put aside by the Conservatives.Remember that the Conservatives, as they got us out of the Kyoto Protocol in the wake of the Copenhagen climate meeting, were saying, \u201cwe will do as the Americans do, since our economies are so integrated.\u201d The Canadian climate policy under the various Harper governments has been nothing less short of a socio-political disaster, even by North American standards.To ensure a smooth transition to a low-carbon economy, it is proposed by the experts that Canada pursue a vigorous path towards a low in carbon production of electricity.Among their proposals is one that makes tons of sense: joining the provinces east to west with a national electricity grid that would interconnect the nation and contribute to use more hydro, wind and solar power to light up our houses and less coal and oil.British-Columbia, Manitoba and Quebec are all hydropower-intense and could easily export surplus production in such a scheme.Alberta and Saskatchewan, who are both highly dependent on fossil fuels for their electricity, could benefit from a national electricty grid, say the scientists.Adopting a national energy policy that would prioritize energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources would contribute in reducing our dependency on oil.In fact more jobs are created in renewables every day while more and more job losses are giving a bloody nose to the oil sector.Alberta, among others, has been pleading for a national energy policy, but with something quite different in mind, more western oil going east, an end to the pipeline debate opening the way to world markets.A slightly different agenda.The report also points to issues that are too often ignored when energy is discussed: an integrated transport strategy, ¦ THE » RECORD 1195 Galt East,

Four Voices By Revs.Mead Baldwin, W.Lynn Dillabough, Lee Ann Hogle and Carole Martignacco 1)\tIs it true that wisdom comes with age?Now that I have passed the half-century mark, I suppose I can give a personal perspective.Certainly I have experience on my side, but does that make me wise?The older I get the less certain I am about a lot of things.Can I comfort myself that this is a sign of wisdom?I used to take things at face value.I would judge people by the words they used and the way they said them.I never suspected hidden agendas and defense mechanisms that complicate human communication.One thing I have learned.Life is not like a textbook with the right answers at the back of the book.Each of us has to judge for ourselves the right thing to do and say at any given moment.Each of us has a different perspective.Perhaps that has been my greatest learning.To speak one\u2019s truth, all the while knowing that we do not have the corner on absolute truth, is the beginning of wisdom.It starts with humility.2)\tThe wisdom of the elders, the wisdom that comes with experience, the wisdom of old age; for some reason we seem to associate wisdom with the length of years that we have lived on this planet.As I ponder this word a different image comes to mind.I told a children\u2019s story once where I asked the kids what they were getting their moms for \u201cMother\u2019s Day.\u201d Some seemed puzzled by the question, others said breakfast in bed, still others mentioned a card.I suggested that perhaps the best gift they could offer was a warm hug.We said a prayer together and they trundled off to Sunday School.Kaleb, who was 5 at the time, paused, looked CRE fundraiser Cont\u2019d from Page 1 and experienced runners, and children are all welcome to take part.The annual fundraiser allows the foundation of the CRE to raise funds destined for the purchase of equipment facilitating the rehabilitation and rehabilitation of its users.\u201cOur first year was a big success,\u201d Martin said, explaining that the $11,000 raised by 628 participants went toward the purchase of an assisted stander that now benefits multiple sclerosis patients.Martin said that the Opening to the Spirit The word of the week is: Wisdom back, and then ran toward me to give me a huge hug.There was silence in the church.Kaleb had demonstrated deep empathy and wisdom in that action.He knew instinctively how to show love.I remember saying \u201cI guess I don\u2019t have to preach a sermon today.\u201d In my work I spend a great deal of time with children, at camp, in the community, and at church.In a previous incarnation I coached minor hockey, little league baseball, and junior girls basketball.I can remember many times when the children on my teams had more wisdom than the adults in the stands.Jesus said once to his followers, \u201cIf you want to experience the kingdom of God become a little child.\u201d I think he was on to something.3)\tAfter a lifetime of associating wisdom with age, I recently was jolted into awareness by a most unlikely guru.I\u2019d just told a story in our Sunday Time For All Ages \u2014 a silly story chosen for its simple heart truth \u2014 then asked if there were any questions.After studying my face solemnly a few minutes, one small child in the circle asked straight out of the blue, \u201cSo just how old are you?\u201d I\u2019ll spare you the numerical data, but it was an awakening.I had to agree that according to the numbers, I was now officially \u201cold.\u201d But where, oh where is wisdom?Have I missed it like a turn in the road, rushed by the directional signs, stepped right over or around it like a stone or ravine on my path?Apparently not a given, there\u2019s no grand equation: old = wise.For collective wisdom of the ages, I turn to all the good books I can find, from all cultures, especially storytellers and poets who help me blend both mind and spirit.At appropriate moments I might recall words of wisdom gleaned from parents, mentors or teachers - or those memorized from the ever-elders we deem officially wise.More lately wisdom comes from the very per- organizers were happy to bring the event

wisdom, you could say.Yet every now and then it\u2019s as if a few long taproots of others\u2019 wisdom have transplanted themselves in me.Words of comfort or challenge, affirmation or insight arise - in time to even be helpful - from a source I cannot imagine.If wisdom comes, it\u2019s by surprise or ambush, from above, beyond or outside of what I know.All I need do is listen for it.Probably I am occasionally wise myself.If I am, it is with gratitude for the wise and kind teachers who took time to listen and be with me when I was young and didn\u2019t know much.Thank you.And may God bless you whether you are looking for wisdom, or sharing it with others.It is a precious gift.One word, four voices - now add your own: What is wisdom?How do you experience it in your life?4)\tWisdom is a difficult word to approach directly.Who am I to be wise, or to lay any claim to that word?All we can do, usually, is to recognize wisdom in others.The words of mentors will sometimes pop into my head

championships.The two squads are coming off undefeated seasons in the provincial Division 2 Northeast Conference, Central Division and have earned top seeds in the regional play downs.The regionals will feature the top four teams from the Quebec and Central Quebec divisions with the top four teams then advancing to the provincial championship that will be held in Montreal from April 10-12th.The Sherbrooke Volontaries men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams will also be com-petiting in the regional tournaments.Both Volontaires squads are seeded third in the Centre section, after the women went 12-4 and the men were 9-5.Champlain\u2019s top-seeded men used a balanced offensive attack and the division\u2019s best defence to post perfect 14-0 mark in the regular season.Head coach Mathieu Beaudoin\u2019s club, provincial bronze medallists in 2014, has held opponents to just 55 points a game while five Cougars are averaging in double figures.Moreldo Downey leads the way with 20.5 points per game while Ashton Slawter is scoring at a 14.3 clip.The team\u2019s other double figure scorers are Alexandre Boisse (10.4), James Murray (10.1) and Shivase Reddick (10.0).The men made be headed for a showdown with the Thetford Filons, who finished in first place in the Quebec section with an identical 14-0 record.The Cougars open up Friday evening against Jonquiere.In the other first-round contests, Sherbrooke meets Ste-Foy, FX Gar-neau of Quebec City takes on Drummondville and Thetford plays Trois-Rivières.For the second consecutive year, the women have gone undefeated in regular season play.Head coach Steve Cassivi\u2019s team was clicking all season long as they finished the campaign with a 16-0 record while outscoring their opponents by an average of 39 points per game.They are led by veterans Cynthia Dupont-Letourneau (17.7 ppg) and Taylor Dennis (14.1 ppg).While Champlain was hardly tested during the regular season, Cassivi and his squad know that the opposition will be tougher this weekend beginning with Friday\u2019s first-round game against the host Ste-Foy Dynamiques.The ther first round games Friday night include Sherbrooke taking on Champlain-St-Lawrence, Granby facing FX Garneau and Merici of Quebec City playing Trois-Rivières.Phoenix looking for first-ever playoff win By John Edwards Sherbrooke The Sherbrooke Phoenix are not totally new to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoffs, but they might as well be.The Phoenix have made the playoffs for the second time in their three-year franchise history, but their first appearance was a cameo at best, as they were easily swept away in four games by Baie Comeau in 2013.This time, the odds of the Phoenix getting their first win in the playoffs, or even their first series win, are much better.Sherbrooke, who finished eighth in the QMJHL standings with a 36-26-6 record, finished just three points ahead of ninth-seeded Charlottetown, who were 35-28-5.After a February swoon that saw the Phoenix fall from the league\u2019s upper echelon, Sherbrooke seems to have righted the ship at a good time, as they come in to Friday\u2019s Game 1 having won four of their last five games.Charlottetown, however, is also hot, riding a three-game winning streak and a 7-2-1 record in their last 10.With the series having a 2-3-2 format, wins on Friday and Saturday are vital for the Phoenix.If the Islanders manage a split, they would return to P.E.I.with a chance to end the series on home ice.The teams split their two meetings this year, with the road team winning both times.With the teams only two goals apart in goals for and goals against, expect a close, and long, series.Our prediction: Sherbrooke in 7.Poulin named Canada\u2019s captain for women\u2019s world hockey championship The Canadian Press Malmo, Sweden Marie-Philip Poulin has been named captain of the Canadian women\u2019s hockey team for the world championship starting Saturday.The 23-year-old from Beauceville, Que., scored the equalizer with less than a minute remaining and the overtime winner for Canada in last year\u2019s Olympic gold-medal game against the United States.Poulin was just 19 when she scored both of Canada\u2019s goals in a 2-0 win over the Americans in the 2010 Olympic final.She was captain of the Boston University Terriers in her senior year this past season.Canada opens the 2015 world championship against the defending champion U.S.on Saturday in Malmo, Sweden.The Canadians meet Russia on Sunday.Head coach Doug Derraugh of Arn-prior, Ont., chose Brianne Jenner of Oakville, Ont., Rebecca Johnston of Sudbury, Ont., Toronto\u2019s Natalie Spooner and Lauriane Rougeau of Beaconsfield, Que., as Poulin\u2019s alternate captains.Spooner scored twice for Canada in their final pre-tournament game Thursday in Lund, Sweden,.The women defeated Slcanes, a local team of 16-year-old males, by a score of 2-1.Jessica Campbell of Melville, Sasic., and Montreal\u2019s Caroline Ouellette each had an assist.The women were outshot 42-29, but Genevieve Laçasse of Kingston, Ont., and Emerance Maschmeyer of Bruderheim, Alta., combined for the win in net Canada has won 10

L.Komaroff, M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: I\u2019d like to start strength training, but I have lots of questions.What should I know before I begin?DEAR READER: Strength-training exercises are those that force your muscles to strain against an opposing force, like a dumbbell or elasticized band.There\u2019s a lot you need to know before you begin.I\u2019ll answer several common questions to help get you on your way.(I\u2019ve put several more strength-training tips on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) \u2014 What are \u201creps\u201d and \u201csets\u201d?Most strength-training routines call for lifting and lowering a weight eight to 12 times.These repetitions are called \u201creps\u201d for short.One exercise repeated eight to 12 times is called one set.A complete workout includes two to four sets of eight to 12 exercises that, combined, exercise all the major muscle groups.\u2014 How often should I strength-train?Try to perform a complete strengthtraining routine two to three times a week.\u2014 How much rest do my muscles need?Allow at least 48 hours for muscles to recover between strength-training workouts.So, if you work out on Monday, wait until Wednesday for another session.\u2014 What is good form?Good form means aligning your body correctly and moving smoothly through an exercise.Focus on slow, smooth lifts and controlled descents.\u2014 How much weight or resistance should I use?Choose a weight that allows you to do only eight to 12 repetitions.The last one or two reps should be difficult.When you can comfortably perform 12 reps, increase the amount of weight.\u2014 How long should I rest between sets?Rest for about one minute between sets.\u2014 Should I warm up and cool down?Warm up for five to 10 minutes before you exercise, and cool down for five to 10 minutes at the end.Marching in place and gently swinging your arms, or using a treadmill or exercise bike, are excellent ways to warm up.To cool down, walk slowly until your heart rate and breathing are close to normal.Then do some stretching.Remember, a well-rounded exercise program includes aerobic, balance and flexibility exercises, in addition to strength training.I\u2019ve done aerobic exercises at least five days a week, at least 30 minutes each day, for most of my adult life.I was a skeptic about adding strength training to my exercise program.In part, I was worried that the time I spent with strength training would reduce the amount of time I had to do aerobic exercises.Several colleagues here at Harvard who are exercise experts convinced me otherwise.They pointed out that I was going to start losing muscle mass, particularly in my upper body, if I didn\u2019t do strength training.And that substituting strength training for aerobic exercises did not reduce the cardiovascular benefits of aerobic exercise.About 10 years ago, I began an every-other-day routine: strength training one day, aerobic exercise the next.I know my upper-body muscle mass has benefited, and I\u2019m convinced I haven\u2019t sacrificed any cardiovascular benefits.(Dr.Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.To send questions, go to AskDoctorK.com, or write: Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuclc

But when declarer does lead clubs, West ducks the first round and notes his partner\u2019s nine, CROSSWORD North\t03-27-15 4 Q J 8 V\t7 4 ?\tK 5 3 2 *\tJ 10 5 2 East 4 6 5 3 2 2\ty Q 10 9 6 3 ?\tQ 10 *\t9 3 South 4 A K 10 9 7 V\t8 ?\tA 6 4 *\tK Q 7 4 Dealer: West Vulnerable: Neither South\tWest\tNorth\tEast \tIV\tPass\t4¥ 4*\tPass\tPass\tPass West 4 4 y A K J 5 ?J 9 8 7 4A8 6 Opening lead: y A the start of a high-low with a doubleton.West takes the second club and gives his partner a club ruff.Then, in the fullness of time, the defenders collect a diamond trick for down one.Instead, South mustn\u2019t ruff the second heart \u2014 he must discard his unavoidable diamond loser.Then the deal is under control, and the contract makes.It is a textbook loser-on-loser play.Across\t44 Response to 30-/35-Across, and a hint\tchine\u201d artist\t47 \u201cBorn on the Bayou\u201d band, briefly 1 Long\t\tto a hidden word in 14-, 17-, 61- and 66-\t29 Observer\t48 \u201cMean Streets\u201d co-star 4 Spartan colonnades\tAcross\t31 Mother\t\t49 How ghost stories are told 9 Belief of more than a billion\t50 Pith\t32 Fools\t53 \u201c2 Broke Girls\u201d setting 14 *1952 #1 hit for Leroy Anderson\t51 Medit.land\t35 2/3, say\t54 Origins 16 \u201cDone!\u201d\t52 Revised versions: Abbr.\t36 Big name in publishing\t56 Actress Delany 17 *Math reciprocal\t55 Sharp\t37 Decorates, in a way\t57 Bit of work 18 Expand\t57 Stop on Amtrak\u2019s Lake Shore Limited\t38 Mountain sighting\t58 Triage ctrs.19 Numskull\troute\t39 JFK list\t59 Finish, as a letter, perhaps 20 Start of a rumor\t58 Theodore\u2019s first lady\t40 Queen dowager of Jordan\t60 Wyo.neighbor 22 Fuel economy testing org.\t61 *\u201dAtomic\u201d Crayola color\t41 Wall St.purchase\t62 Some Windows systems 23 Business card word\t65 Event with pole bending\t45 Rattletrap\t63 Hood\u2019s gun 26 On the table\t66 *Bogged down\t46 Hold\t64 U.S.Army rank abolished in 1815 30 With 35-Across, question the starred clues might ask 33\tZhou__ 34\tWide size 35\tSee 30-Across 42\tBoston Coll, is in it 43\t\u201890s runner N\tC\tR\t1\tF\tA\tL\t\t1\tA\tF\tL\tA\tM\tE 1\tL\t°\t\tA\tP\tE\tR\t\tC\tA\tB\tL\tE\tS N\tE\t°\t\tS\tE\tG\t°\t\tC\tR\tO\tO\tN\tS J\tA\tM\tE\tS\tM\tO\tN\tR\tO\tE\t¦\t\tA\tE A\tT\tT\t1\tL\tA\t1\tT\tE\tL\tI\tF\tr\tG\t¦ \t\tE\tR\t1\tN\t\tW\tP\tA\t\th\ti\tE\ts W\tO\tM\tE\tN\t¦\t\tH\tE\tD\t\tL\tN\tR\tE A\tP\tP\t\tIg\tA\tM\tE\tL\t\t\t¦\tT\t1\tC D\tE\tE\tJ\\\t\tP\tO\tE\t1\t¦\tA\ts\tH\tE\tS E\tR\tR\ts\t\tP\tO\tL\t\tr\t\tH\tE\t\t H\tA\tA\tA\t\tE\tL\t°\t\tG\tO\tA\tW\tO\tL A\tT\tT\t\t\\s\tT\tA\tR\tT\tE\tR\tH\tO\tM\tE P\t1\tU\tS\ti\t¦\t1\t1\tO\tT\tA\t1\tR\tE\tV S\tO\tR\tE\ts\tT\t\tv\tO\t1\t\t\tk\tG\tE O\tN\tE\tS\t1\tÈ\t\tli\tT\tT\tu\t\tli\tA\tR 67\t\u201cOctopus\u2019s Garden\u201d songwriter 68\tHolds up 69\tSch.units Down 1\tStart of a children\u2019s song 2\tGluttonous Augustus in \u201cCharlie and the Chocolate Factory\u201d 3\tPosse target 4\tStop: Abbr.5\t_sale 6\tWord with man or horse 7\tLatin lambs 8\tTo make sure 9\tConfessor\u2019s words 10\tHaberdashery stock 11\tDirected 12\tExist 13\tSign on a door 15 Put away 21 Djibouti neighbor: Abbr.23\tCanine 24\tHun king, in Norse legend 25\tCapital of Shaanxi Province 27\tSeveral 28\t\u201cTwittering Ma- 1\t2\t3\t¦\tr\t5\t6\t7\t6\ti\tL\t10\t11\t12\t13 14\t\t\t15\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta\t\t\t\t 19\t\t\t\t\t\t\t20\t\t21\t\t\t\t\t 22\t\t\t\t|23\t24\t25\t\t26\t\t\t\t27\t28\t29 \t\t30\t31\t\t\t\t32\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t33\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t34\t\t 35\t36\t37\t\t\t\t\t\t38\t39\t40\t41\t\t\t 42\t\t\t\t\t\t\t43\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 44\t\t\t45\t46\t47\t48\t\t\t\t\t\t49\t\t 50\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5^\t51\t\t\t\t52\t53\t54 \t\t\t55\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t[57\t\t\t 58\t59\t60\t\t\tI\tr\t\t62\t63\t64\t\t\t\t 65\t\t\t\t\t\t66\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 67\t\t\t\tJ\t\t68\t\t\t\tJ\tu\t|69\t\t Page 16 Friday, March 27, 2015 newsroom @sherbrookerecord .com The Record ff&MOS ?/?RUSTICK BRASSERIE & AUBERGE PRIVATE ROOM.BAR.GIANT SCREENS MONDAY 1/2 RACK OF RIBS no TUESDAY FLANK STEAK no WEDNESDAY BEEF BURGER no THURSDAY SHRIMPS PLATTER no FRIDAY & SATURDAY FREE BOTTLE OF WINE WITH THE PURCHASE OF 4 TABLE D\u2019HÔTES SUNDAY CHICKEN BROCHETTE *10 ROOMS STARTING AT $70 1 800-401-2444 3219, RUE PRINCIPALE OUEST MAGOG (QUÉBEC) J1 X 0J6 www.rustick.co THE PLACE FOR ALL SPORTS EVENTS SAQ + $8 ON ALL WINES FACEBOOK.COM/RUSTICK.CO "]
