and made his first steps on U.S.soil, someone in my newsroom yelled out \u201cSanta!\u201d The room burst out laughing, myself included.But looking back at it, he wasn\u2019t far from the truth.Pope Francis, or Frank as I like to call him, received the same welcome that the real Santa would likely get.On his first day in Washington, thousands of people waited in line outside the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.Everyone from small children to U.S.senators were going through a patchwork security detail made up of the TSA, FBI, ATF, and Secret Service, all armed with metal detecting wands, tasers, and pistols.As for me, I was atop a hill overlooking the scene.I was snapping pictures, doing an impromptu news stand-up for Twitter, and slowly dying of heat exhaustion because I was wearing a black suit in the noon sun.As the people milled in to attend the papal mass, I stood behind, talking to different groups of people, seminarians, monks, priests and nuns.All of whom had vastly different opinions on religion but that all came to the same conclusion: Frank was a cool guy.And he really was.I didn\u2019t get a chance to get within 300 yards of him, but while he was in Washington, people treated each other differently.More people stood up on the metro, giving up their seats to older riders and pregnant women.More money was dropped into the cups of homeless people.Strangers would smile at each other on the street.I am in no way religious nor endorse the teachings of any organized religion.The city did return to its normal, slightly rude and self-centered self a few days after his departure.But even if just for a few days, the pope of the people took over the city and made it a better place.And I have to say, it was kind of awesome to be a part of history.Space is cool For those who follow me on social media (either on Faceboolc or on Twitter @TheBrianMacIver), you already know BRIAN MACIVER Lines of crowds waiting to get into the papal mass spanned well over 180 metres (200 yards).Frank is a popular guy, I guess.what I\u2019ve been up to this past week.But seeing as the majority of The Record\u2019s probably don\u2019t know what a hashtag is (it\u2019s what the kids call the pound button these days), here\u2019s a quick summary: Space is cool.This week, I attended a NASA roadmaps panel on robotics and autonomous systems.Two officials, one from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the other from the Johnson Science Lab, spoke about different technologies that the space organization is working on.The unexpected backdrop to this: the recent discovery of water on Mars.NASA scientists were all a flutter this week about the discovery and what could be used to further analyze the data and send a crew to the Red Planet.Some of the technology that I had an opportunity to learn about and discuss with their creators included: a three-pieced modular rover able to detach itself from the main body and rappel down a cliff face to collect any type of sample in hard to reach areas; Robo-naut, a humanoid robot that is the only permanent resident of the International Space Station; and automated grappling technology that could be used to build habitation for a manned team before any human even set foot on the planet.When a manned crew gets to Mars, a team of robots that have been building and maintaining a trailer park like habitation could well greet them.Core samples could already be collected and waiting for the humans to analyze them.According to Robert Ambrose, the JSL official, that won\u2019t happen for the next 15 years simply because the U.S.government hasn\u2019t made space exploration a priority.\u201cIf we were to receive a political imperative, we could get it done in 10 years,\u201d Ambrose said.\u201cEngineers work best when they are faced with a challenge,\u201d he added, referencing the Apollo mission and Kennedy\u2019s challenge to send someone to the moon.But by my completely unprofessional and non-expert calculations, we\u2019re about 25 years from a \u201cLost in Space\u201d type of robot and 30 years away from making first-contact, Star Trek style.Brian Maclver is a Sherbrooke native, and graduate of Bishop\u2019s and Champlain, who is currently studying for a graduate degree in journalism at Northwestern University, but is now considering how to use a robot to make up his own hashtags.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter! sherbrookerecord Q®recordnewspaper Ben by Daniel Shelton T JUST LEFT MONEY UNPER /EEC'S ANP michaels PILLOWS

2016.Open to all, amateurs and professionals, the ice cross downhill event in March was a great success, said Destination Sherbrooke tourism director Lynn Blouin.\u201cWe are delighted that the event is back in Sherbrooke.In addition to contributing to the positioning of Sherbrooke as a destination for outdoor and winter sports, the event raises the visibility of Sherbrooke at the provin- cial, national and even international level,\u201d she said in a statement.On March 6, more than 3,000 gathered on Mont Bellevue to attend the winter event.A total of 222 racers, including 21 women, from Europe and across North America took part in the competition.Throughout the week preceding the event, its recreational component allowed many fans to learn Ice Cross Downhill in a safe setting in the company of experienced athletes.That first Crashed Ice next season will take place in Quebec City on Nov.27- 28.The Sherbrooke event will be on Feb.12-13, 2016.Alums descend on Bishop\u2019s campus Record Staff Lennoxville Last weekend marked the annual Homecoming celebration at Bishop\u2019s University, as old and young alumni descended on Lennoxville to relive memories on and off the Bishop\u2019s University Campus.On Saturday morning (photo top right), about 40 people took part in the Gaiter Walk for ALS, a fundraiser that is organized annually by the Bishop\u2019s women\u2019s soccer team.On Saturday afternoon (bottom right), the first Bishop\u2019s beer garden was held outside the John H.Price Sports Centre, officially launching the Arches Brewery.The weekend was

Granit regional county municipality, and Haut Saint-Francois deputy reeve Robert Roy spoke of the unparalleled role the observatory plays in raising the profiles of their respective regions.\u201cJust imagine if it were to close, and what that would mean for us,\u201d Fecteau said, with Roy adding \u201csometimes small regions are afraid of big cities, but I think today we are demonstrating that little regions have an importance as well.\u201d Sévigny, meanwhile, spoke to the unique status the region has been granted as the world\u2019s only \u201cdark sky preserve.\u201d Aside from contributing to the presence and attraction of the observatory, he said, the creation of the reserve has reshaped the way that the local communities think about light pollution and stands to act as an ongoing agent of positive change in the world.\u201cOn top of putting laws in place, our actions must follow the laws,\u201d Sévigny said, \u201cthere are now municipalities who have invested in adaptations to their entire lighting network with the objective of protecting the night\u2019s sky.\u201d This demonstration of regional cooperation across municipalities, he argued, offers an example of the great importance the observatory plays in the region and underlines the importance of protecting it with ongoing financial support.MATTHEW MCCULLY Cont\u2019d from Page 3 \u201cAnd I hope they outlive me,\u201d she joked.Campbell chose daffodils because they are hearty and not considered a delicacy to rodents, as some other plant bulbs are.Campbell is also an artist, and loves painting flowers.As the daffodils return each spring, the Common in full bloom will likely become an inspiration for Campbell\u2019s work.Keeping the focus on The Common, a lecture was held in the afternoon at St.James Community Hall after the volunteers had finished planting.Local Steve Luxton explained the origins of Commons, who used them and for what, and how the tradition came to the new world, and specifically Hatley.The day concluded with a potluclc communal meal for the daffodil planters, lecture attendees, and other Commoners and community members.A trio of planters in Hatley help plant daffodils in the town's common.The UPS Store £j§ Confiez-nous l'expédition de vos précieux colis Boîtes postales \u2022 Impression \u2022 Emballage \u2022 Expédition \u2022 Et plus Visitez-nous

baby number three is on the way.Her husband teaches physical education at Champlain College.Kerrigan said when they first arrived, she kept one foot out the door, returning to her hometown for extended visits.In the last two years, though, she said the family has decided to commit to the area, and is putting down roots.\u201cWe\u2019re so excited for our kids to be bilingual,\u201d Kerrigan said.The family came to the area because husband Shane had an employment opportunity.\u201cIt\u2019s his dream job.There was nothing comparable to that in our area,\u201d she said.The pace of life here in the Townships and the focus on simplicity is what helped them decide to stay.\u201cWe find it hard to catch our breath sometimes when we go back,\u201d she said.\u201cEveryone is so kind,\u201d Kerrigan said, admitting she and Shane are still in the process of learning French.Simple things like making a dentist appointment are a challenge, she said.\u201cThere are people here who have never even graduated high school, but are fluently bilingual.We find that fascinating,\u201d Kerrigan said, explaining that it is no easy task picking up a second language at 32 years old.Her kids, on the other hand, are having no trouble.\u201cThey don\u2019t have the same hang-ups we have.\u201d Kerrigan said she is appreciative of people in the community willing to give her the time she needs to find her words in French.\u201cIf they\u2019ll try with me, I\u2019ll try with them.A lot of people want to practice their English too,\u201d she said, admit- ting that sometimes, she would rather engage in a relationship than struggle with her words.\u201cI like getting to know local shop owners,\u201d she said, as an example.\u201cI believe in community so much.I know what it takes to create that environment,\u201d she said, adding that even though she is more reserved here than she would be in Ontario, her desire to integrate has forced her out of her shell.There is, of course, a common bond among all Canadians that transcends language: hockey.\u201cI\u2019ve played my whole life,\u201d Kerrigan said.Usually a centre, she more often plays defence these days.Joining a local recreational league was what helped her most with her French, she said.\u201cIt was intimidating, but it was also an opportunity to grow,\u201d Kerrigan said, adding she was the only Anglo on the team, and possibly the only young mother as well.\u201cHockey was the first thing I did here without my husband or my kids.\u201d Kerrigan said one of the biggest problems she had in the beginning was mixing up \u2018ici\u2019 with \u2018vas-y\u2019.Kerrigan and her husband have yet to decide whether their kids will go to French or English school.\u201cIt\u2019s probably the thing we discuss the most,\u201d she said, adding that there are so many more options here.\u201cI almost find the choices overwhelming.\u201d With the language part of the cultural shift quickly improving, Kerrigan remarked on the lack of programs available to stay-at-home moms compared to Ontario.Because Quebec has subsidized daycare, many women are able to return to work sooner.In Ontario, the cost per child is so expensive, that for many women, staying home is the only option.Because of that, there is a stronger network of programs and resources available to stay-at-home moms, Kerrigan said.The Lennoxville Library has, in a sense, filled that void for Kerrigan, impressed with the childrens literature options.She currently sits on the library\u2019s board of directors.When asked if friends and family visiting from Ontario are as open to embracing Quebec culture as Kerrigan and her family, she said reviews were mixed.Older generations are generally more tense about language, Kerrigan said, explaining they would not likely venture out shopping on their own during a visit.\u201cFor our younger friends, it\u2019s not a huge deal,\u201d she said.Overall, the Townships newcomers are enjoying the place as much as the people, Kerrigan said.\u201cWe love this community; we\u2019re 3!\t\t1 Fig.11 /\t> If this feels like a math test, visit /\tmathliteracy.ca or call 1-800-303-1004.ipnnmj\t\tMath solves problems\t« c a n a d a Literacy Foundation Fondation pour l'alphabétisation MATTHEW MCCULLY Charity Kerrigan moved to the area from Ontario 41/2 years ago, and is a big believer in the power of community.happy to be a part of it,\u201d She said, the flats of Southwestern Ontario, adding that as an active family, they \u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot more mountains to enjoy the landscape here compared to climb,\u201d Kerrigan said.Families identified by our Eastern Townships school community through the Operation Backpack and Christmas campaign, will be invited to stop by the Women\u2019s Centre from October 19-23 to ensure their children are adequately dressed for winter.You can drop off your donations at the Lennoxville and District Women\u2019s Centre, 257 Oueen Street in Lennoxville between 5 p.m.and 9 p.m., October 5-9 and October 13-15.Share the warmth From October 5 to October 15, the Lennoxville & District Women\u2019s Centre, in conjunction with The Record and community volunteers, will collect gently used and new jackets, snowsuits, hats, gloves and mittens for children within our community.Winter wear for younger, pre-school siblings, also appreciated.Cash donations to the Lennoxville & District Women\u2019s Centre for the purchase of boots and other essentials gratefully accepted.As the leaves begin to change and parents prepare their children for winter, many will discover snowsuits and winterwear that no longer fit.At the same time, many parents will wonder where they will find the money to outfit their children for winter. Page 6 Monday, October 5, 2015 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record \t\t J-\tEditorial\tAnd experience bears out what the research demonstrates: poverty breeds exclusion.Opinion The Disability Tax Credit should help the people who need it most By Tony Dolan and Diane Kreuger Louise is a well-educated, middle-aged, healthy Canadian woman -the typical profile of the middle class demographic that our politicians are spending so much time and energy courting.The problem is, Louise does not belong to the fabled middle class.She will not benefit from any of their promised tax breaks or child care benefits or saving incentives.Louise has a disability, and like almost half of the four million Canadians with disabilities, she does not have a regular job.Not only is her income limited, but Louise has extra, hidden costs, what the Canada Revenue Agency calls \u201cunavoidable additional expenses that other taxpayers don\u2019t have to face.\u201d People with disabilities understand what this means.In Louise\u2019s case, because her cerebral palsy affects her motor skills, it includes replacing all the things she bumps and breaks and dirties and wears out faster than the rest of us.As for Rose-Marie, limited mobility means paying more for her apartment because she has to be in a building with an elevator.Deborah has to pay somebody to shovel her out in the winter, or she can\u2019t even buy groceries.Luc says that the cost for much of the technology he needs to help him function as a person with a visual impairment comes out of his own pocket.When considering the capacity of people with disabilities to assume these extra costs, a few numbers could be helpful.and perhaps disturbing.Roughly one million (43.8 per cent) working-age adults with disabilities are unable to work.Those who are employed have lower incomes than people without disabilities, despite having similar education levels.In fact, the average employment income for working-age adults with disabilities is 22.5 per cent lower than their non-disabled peers.Overall, people with disabilities are twice as likely to live in poverty.And experience bears out what the research demonstrates: poverty breeds exclusion.Exclusion exacerbates poverty.There exists a tax measure intended for people like Louise.It is called the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and it is meant to compensate for some of those hidden, unavoidable costs linked to disability.Unfortunately, again, this measure is of no use to Louise.It is a tax credit, and somebody who does not work does not pay taxes, and is therefore too poor to benefit from this assistance.This is a problem that has a rather simple solution: make the tax credit refundable.To do so would mean that the approximately 750,000 Canadians who live with a disability that makes them eligible for the tax credit, but who are not employed taxpayers, will receive the compensation they need for their additional expenses.They will also have a better chance of breaking the cycle of poverty and participating more fully in society.In the context of this election campaign, among the wide range of accessibility, inclusion and human rights issues we are defending, this one is perhaps the most straightforward.The DTC should be available to the people who need it most.The Council of Canadians with Disabilities and Independent Living Canada are asking our political leaders to commit to making the DTC refundable.Anybody who would like to join us is invited to sign the petition at dtc-forall.org.Tony Dolan is chair of the Council of Canadians with

Canadian addresses to The Record, 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA IDENTITY POLITICS Letters Election Advertising: How low can they go?Dear Editor: Recently I saw two video advertisements sponsored by the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting.Here is a link to the first one: www.straight.com/blo-gra/402951/watch-anti-harper-ad-cbc-refuses-air The setting is the Prime Minister\u2019s office.The camera shows the Prime Minister\u2019s back.Sitting opposite him, and facing the camera, a man is voicing his opposition to various government actions and activities, including cuts to the CBC.When the man asks the PM what his response is, two heavies appear at the man\u2019s side, making him nervous.His concern is justified because, in the next shot, he is tied up in the trunk of a car.The lid closes and we are left to infer what happens after that.You can view the second advertisement at this link in the third section of the opening box as it moves along: www.friends.ca.The video shows what happens to two men who have objected to cuts at the CBC: they are each tied to a chair and apparently drowned.You actually see them submerged and sinking, with bubbles flowing from their mouths.Although some broadcasters (including the CBC), refused to run these advertisements, they have appeared on TSN.As noted above, they both show what might happen to someone who complains about the treatment of Canadian broadcasting by the government, and by Mr.Harper in particular.It was suggested to me that political advertising does not have to meet the Canadian advertising standards that apply to commercial enterprises.And indeed, on the website of Advertising Standards Canada we find an exception for political and election advertising.Here is the link and the relevant clause: www.adstandards.com/en/Stan-dards/canCodeOfAdStandards .aspx#e xclusions \u201cExclusions Political and Election Advertising Canadians are entitled to expect that \u2018political advertising\u2019 and \u2018election advertising\u2019 will respect the standards articulated in the Code.However, it is not intended that the Code govern or restrict the free expression of public opinion or ideas through \u2018political advertising\u2019 or \u2018election advertising,\u2019 which are excluded from the application of this Code.\u201d Readers might wonder whether it is reasonable that the Code does not apply to the advertisements described above.To say the least, they are in extremely poor taste.Personally, I was flabbergasted by the images.I understand why people might object to various policies and actions of the current administration.Indeed, I agree with some of these objections.However, it is, for me at least, taking one step too far to imply that critics of the Harper government might expect to receive the kind of treatment meted out to the people in the videos.I am not a particular friend of Mr.Harper, and I am a friend of the CBC, but I do not feel friendly towards Friends of Canadian Broadcasting.It shameful that they have sunk this low.Stuart McKelvie Lennoxville The Record newsroom@sherbr ooker ecord.com Monday, October

I are friends with another couple in our neighborhood.The majority of the time, we get along well.We have even traveled together.The problem is, \u201cSusie\u201d is very loud and an extremely poor conversationalist.She dominates the get-togethers by talking about nonsense, and she constantly repeats herself.She interrupts everyone\u2019s conversations with, \u201cOh, I\u2019ve done that,\u201d and off she goes about herself.Susie\u2019s husband doesn\u2019t seem both- Happy 90th Birthday ivn\tCTtll « With love from your niece Marsha Emmett and friend Rod ered by this, but it drives me nuts.My husband also doesn\u2019t like it.We have out-of-town family visiting soon and these neighbors have invited themselves over.How do I tell them they aren\u2019t welcome because we don\u2019t want them to have to tolerate Susie\u2019s bad behavior?I see my family infrequently and we don\u2019t want to be uncomfortable with the relatives in our own home.\u2014 Frustrated Friendship Dear Frustrated: There is nothing wrong with telling Susie and her husband that you want to spend some private time with your family.Should they drop by uninvited, you can introduce them and let them say hello, but then nicely usher them out, telling Susie that you will visit with them when you are less occupied with family members.But please don\u2019t assume that your relatives will find Susie as annoying as you do.For a brief visit, she could be perfectly tolerable.The trick is to keep it extremely short.Dear Annie: I was saddened and upset by the letter from \u201cAngry Sis,\u201d whose brother \u201cJohn\u201d stopped speaking to his 83-year-old mother after she asked him to testify against his abusive stepfather.\u201cSis\u201d asked whether she had to invite John to Mom\u2019s funeral when she died.Her letter showed a lack of empathy and understanding for victims of childhood sexual abuse.Mom brought the pedophile stepfather into the family.John\u2019s attitude may stem from the anger he rightfully feels toward his mother for her failure to protect him.When one parent is an active abuser and the other one fails to protect, the children are left in painful circumstances.They often excuse the \u201cpassive\u201d parent and project them as another victim of the abuser because they cannot bear to see the truth.Sis, too, may be directing her anger at John instead of her 24 3j 29 Calendar^ of Events and Eastern I 30 18- i Townships^ \u2014Tf The Record will be printing 2500 wall-hanging 2016 calendars to be sold and are offering organizations and groups

well as John, and lessen her anger.It is important for Sis to know she can accept Mom\u2019s failure to provide a safe home for her children and still continue to love and be loved by Mom.I sincerely pray that she may be the catalyst to help this family heal while Mom is still alive.\u2014 S.Dear S.: Many readers weighed in on this letter, saying that Sis did not quite comprehend the level ol John\u2019s own trauma and possible anger after having been abused as a child, especially when Mom went tc court to protect his half-brother, but didn\u2019t do the same for him.We, too, hope she can help the family heal.Dear Annie: I am Protestant, and my husband was baptized in the Catholic Church, but religion was never important to him or his family.Neither of us has converted, nor will we.My husband has attended services with me, and I have attended the occasional holiday Mass with my in-laws.I respect their faith.Here\u2019s the problem: My mother-in-law apparently thought I would convert as soon as I joined the family This has been a huge problem for her.Because I respect her faith, I have tried to follow the rules while at Mass, and that means I do not take communion.This bothers my mother-in-law to no end.She finds it offensive.There is likely to be a Catholic funeral that I will have to attend soon.I do not want to create a scene or cause my mother-in-law more unhappiness, but I also do not wish to offend the rest of the family or the church by deliberately ignoring the prohibition to take communion.How do I proceed?\u2014 Trying To Be Respectful Dear Trying: We think your mother-in-law\u2019s problem is that she still wants you to convert, and acting of fended because you do not take communion is how she expresses it.It might help if her priest discusses this with her directly.Please make an appointment to talk to him.But it might also be useful for your husband tc make it abundantly clear to his mother that conversion is not going to happen and she needs to back off before she alienates both of you.^ A 90th Birthday Happy 90th Libby.aka Mum!

Phillip Alder Takayulci Ilclcaku, Arisa Hosalca and Toshihiro Kawabata, the writers of the \u201cAnimal Crossing: Wild World\u201d video game, said, \u201cWhen you\u2019re a team of one, you\u2019re always captain.\u201d In bridge, you are a team of two.During the bidding, normally you have a two-sided conversation to decide the best contract.Occasionally, though, one of you takes charge \u2014 assumes captaincy \u2014 our topic this week.This happens when partner has described his hand accurately.He typically leaves the final decision to his partner.In today\u2019s deal, North makes a game-invitational limit raise in spades.This makes opener the captain.He decides whether it is a partscore deal (he passes), a game deal (he raises to four spades), or a slam deal \u2014 as here, he makes a four-club control-bid (cue-bid).Then, since North has a slam-suitable hand with one ace, two kings and a doubleton, he control-bids four diamonds.Finally, South bids what he hopes he can make.After West leads the heart queen, what should declarer do?At first glance, the contract appears to depend upon the club finesse, but it is actually guaranteed.Win with the North\t10-05-15 4 10 9

from hand), and ruff the diamond eight to eliminate the red suits.Then, return to dummy with a spade and lead a club, covering East\u2019s card as cheaply as possible.West takes the trick but is endplayed.He must either lead back into South\u2019s club tenace or concede a ruff-and-sluff.CROSSWORD Across 1\tHaving been cut, as grass 5 Stage showoffs 9 \u201cThe Prince and the Pauper\u201d
