[" Happy Birthday to The Record Page 6 \"THE\" - RECORD The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 SEASON TICKET EXCHANGE NIGHT 1FREE TICKET 75 CENTS + TAXES PM#0040007682 Tuesday, February 9, 2016 Master organist to perform trio of concerts By Matthew McCully Fans of organ music will have the opportunity to hear internationally recognized organist Pascal Marsault this weekend; he will perform three different programs in Sherbrooke, Lennoxville and North Hatley.\u201cHe has a passion for heritage organs,\u201d said Maria Ignatow Bandraulc, involved in organizing the mini-series.\u201cHe has identified these three as wonderful instruments,\u201d she said, referring to the organs at St.Mark\u2019s Chapel on the Bishop\u2019s University campus, St.Michel Cathedral in Sherbrooke, and the organ at St.Elisabeth Church in North Hatley.Ignatow Bandraulc explained that Marsault is the brother-in-law of family doctor Danielle Fisch, from North Hatley, so he is often in the area visiting.While Ignatow Bandraulc said Marsault has played the organs in question before, this trio of concerts is his first formal appearance in the area.Since every organ has its own unique character depending on the builder, the specifications and the space it occupies, Ignatow Bandraulc said the performances will be a treat for Marsault as much as the audiences.\u201cHe savours it,\u201d she said.The first performance will take place on Thursday Feb.11 at 7:30 p.m.at St Mark's Chapel.Marsault will perform works by Bach, Couperin and Frescobaldi.Admission and parking is free.At 11 a.m.on Sunday, Feb.14 Marsault will play works by Bach, Franck and Duruflé at St.Michel Cathedral in Sherbrooke.Admission to the concert is by donation.In the afternoon, he will be joined by coloratura soprano Fanny Grenier at St.Elisabeth church in North Hatley.The program, beginning at 3 p.m.will include Mozart, Handel, Bach and Schubert.Tickets are $20 ($10 for students).Hit and run on Galt Street: driver apprehended MATTHEW MCCULLY POLICE rfoitfck \u2022jji \u2014\u2022 4 ' L - üMé By Matthew McCully At around 11 a.m.yesterday morning, a jogger on Galt Street East near Longpré was struck by a passing vehicle and sustained minor injuries to the left arm.According to Sherbrooke Police spokesperson Philippe Dubois, the driver of the vehicle appeared impatient, and is alleged to have hit the jogger on purpose.The driver has since been apprehended, and was brought to the police station for questioning, Dubois said.\u201cThe jogger had the peace of mind to get the license plate number,\u201d Dubois said.Immediately following the incident, a squad car blocked the section of the road where the incident had happened, searching for fragments of the side view mirror that struck the jogger.According to Dubois, the driver could face charges of hit and run, or possibly even assault with a weapon, where the vehicle would be considered the weapon.One eye witness has already come forward and made a statement.Dubois asked that anyone else with information regarding the incident contact the department at 819-821-5555 i THE ¦ RECORD get a 7 DAY TRIAL.ONUNE SCR1F*T|0N - Take The Record anywhere with you with an online subscription! iPads, tablets, iPhones, Android phones, laptops!

There went three huge musical and pop culture icons.The playing field was shifting - the free spirit of the late 60\u2019s, and many of the movements that went with it, began to not just gain more ground, but continue pushing for it.Writer Tom Wolfe called it \u201cThe Me Decade\u201d, referring to what was described as \u201catomized individuation\u201d rather than the communal feel of the late 60\u2019s.Funny how we speak today about something along those lines as well, with the adoption of technology as a barrier between people.The conversation of fly- ing solo has been taking place for a long time.Mind you, Wolfe was also leaning towards the \u201cunveiling of the self\u2019 through use of LSD.Go figure.LSD, iPhone - six of one, half a dozen of the other.Back to that decade though.Long hair got longer.and longer.Rock \u2018n roll became rock and got louder.and louder.bell bottoms got wider.Denim was everywhere! Ray ban sunglasses, handle bar mustaches, afros there was a real style mash-up at work - from Light-foot to ABBA, and John Travolta in a white suit.On the political level, Quebec had its share of change - following in the continued quiet revolution, things were not so quiet, with the FLQ\u2019s presence in the early 70\u2019s, and then later Bill 101 would shepherd many Quebeckers along through a certain, non-negotiable life path.The first face lifts were attempted in the 70\u2019s, and ironically, it was the same decade that the remains of \u201cLucy\u201d were discovered, a gal from the species Australopithecus Afarensis.From early upright mobility to plastic surgery - you\u2019ve apparently come a long way baby.And so has your forehead.Fiber optics, microwaves and VCR\u2019s, OH MY! Technology began unfurling its very large, very clunky wings.The first cell phone call was made on April 3rd, 1973! Can you believe that?Every other home featured a chair and small table beside the wall mounted beige standard phone.or a wear mark in the paint where the person on the phone leaned to speak.and pretty much always a stretched out phone cord from trying to reach something, or twisting it around your fingers.That tactile activity is something that\u2019s sorely missing from a cordless.The Gremlin, the Pacer, the Volkswagen Passat and Golf (among other vehicles) were proof of the downsizing of the auto industry\u2019s models.The Trans Am was released, and muscle cars hit their growling height.The 70\u2019s saw the soft pop sounds of James Taylor and the wholesomeness of The Carpenters, and a Motown surge with The Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder.Disco birthed a flashy lot, including The BeeGee\u2019s, and KC and the Sunshine Band.Progressive rock saw Rush, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Electric Light Orchestra and Jethro Tull brought new epic soundscapes, and rock music charged forward with Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Queen and The Who blasted their little eardrums out riffing off in all directions.What a time at the movies it was.There are few periods like 70\u2019s cinema -The Godfather, Star Wars, Rocky, One Flew Over The Cuckoo\u2019s Nest, Annie Hall, The Deer Hunter, Jaws, Saturday Night Fever all hit screens at that time, and it seems like many filmmakers have spent their time since then either attempting to reach those levels of cinematic power or creating sequels or spin-offs.There was a great deal of investment in originality.Perhaps the money grubbers behind most pop culture business today could take a page out of that book and fund more original work rather than simply banking on suckers returning to the box office because a film has been remade, resurfaced or rehashed.If you\u2019ve hit your wave of nostalgia, and are pining for that Tungsten light, penny candies, banana seated bicycles and roller skates, then now\u2019s your chance to experience a little of it.This year, the Centre d\u2019art de Richmond\u2019s annual fundraiser soirée plans to take you there.With hugely successful past events and themes, this year the hosts with the most have planned a return to the 70\u2019s, with a two-tiered event - a $100.00 ticket sees patrons enjoy a cocktail soirée with food prepared by restaurant caterers Le Bouchon, of Sherbrooke, wine, and special entertainment, as well as the evening dance, or a $45.00 ticket allows guests to support this driven arts community and enjoy the dance portion of the evening.Something to plan and look forward to - dive into your tickle trunk of costumes, then lean back into your leather upholstered arm chair, straighten up that velvet smoking jacket, and strap on those platforms, with a trip back to the Me decade, all while supporting the arts in the Townships! The event is slated for April 2nd, with the supper portion of the evening beginning at 6:30 p.m., and the dancing set to start at 8:00 p.m.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twi+fer! |

leave,\u201d Constantineau said C.difficile outbreak at BMP By Matthew McCully Since Dec.30 the Brome-Missisquoi-Perlcins hospital in Cowansville has been dealing with an outbreak of Clostridium difficile (C.difficile) in the geriatric ward, confirmed hospital spokesperson Julie Constantineau.\u201cWe\u2019re asking people to wash their hands when they enter the hospital and when they leave,\u201d Constantineau said, adding that visitors are still allowed to visit family during regular hours.Constantineau said there are currently four active cases, but health professionals believe the situation is under control.It is impossible to tell when the hos- pital can consider itself free and clear.Constantineau said it can take weeks to be sure.According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, C.difficile is the most frequent cause of infectious diarrhea in hospitals and long-term care facilities in the country.Symptoms include watery diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, nausea, and abdominal pain/tenderness.The bacteria and their spores are found in feces.People can get infected if they touch surfaces contaminated with feces, and then touch their mouth.Healthcare workers can spread the bacteria to their patients if their hands are contaminated, according to the website.Post-Super Bowl roadblock comes up dry By Matthew McCully\tSherbrooke Police spokesperson under the

located in the Centre d Art building on Convent Street seems to be through a quiet doorway tucked into the rear of the former Mont St Patrick convent.But few people realize in this heritage building seniors can find just about every kind of service, free of charge for the most part, provided by volunteers and professionals who have the welfare of an ever-increasing senior population at heart.\"We offer so many services that are designed to make life tolerable and comfortable for our seniors,\" said Louise Bedard, activities co-ordinator at the Centre.\"We even offer friendly visits to lonely shut-ins, correspondence service and/or regular phone calls daily to ensure a senior is okay, has taken their medication or needs something special.\" An example of special activities the Centre offers is a Hearing Health Clinic tomorrow afternoon for English folk.Beginning at 1pm, Mr.Michel Nadeau, well known across the province for his knowledge and experience with deafness and hearing loss, is offering the most recent information in caring and treating these CANADIAN RED CROSS QUÉBEC conditions.This seminar is free to seniors and is scheduled at the Centre Wednesday, February 10th.There is a morning session for French speakers as well.Two more clinics are scheduled in March as Income Tax season comes around once again.Experts will be on hand to help and explain to individual seniors how to calculate and complete the dreaded tax forms.These clinics, offered every year at the Centre are scheduled for March 7, 9, 14 and 16 in Room 109 beginning at 1pm until 4pm.There is a registration charge of $10, a small price to pay for peace of mind and understanding of the infernal tax forms.Also available at the Centre, just a simple phone call away is a personal alarm system, which, with a button worn on the person of someone needing the reassurance of accessible medical care.These systems can be rented or purchased, and could make the difference between life and death.Services such as the popular Meals on Wheels, Transport and Accompany, meaning providing transport to medical appointments or other routine errands such as groceries, banking, post office.\"But most importantly, we must realize most of these services are under- taken by volunteers.And the Centre is constantly in a recruiting campaign to persuade folks who could spare a little time to come forward to help provide these services.\" \"The health of seniors depends on many small things such as a friendly visit, being safely transported to complete routine errands or assigning these daily tasks to a volunteer - so many ways to help a senior remain autonomous, continue living in their own home with the peace of mind knowing there are services and folks out there who will help take care of the difficult tasks ageing seems to include.But, at the moment, we really need volunteers.We have some volunteers who, after many years of service, are now seniors themselves so one can easily understand we are depending on the goodwill in the community to make sure all these services can continue.\" Many services are offered seven days a week as well.For a complete list of these mostly free services, drop by the office at 200 Convent Street, Richmond, JOB 2H0, call 819 826 6166 or Fax 819 826 3676 or E-Mail - cabrichmond@aba-com.com.CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE * * * y * ¦ 1 * « Louise

So, living in Wemindji is somehow just like living in the Townships.At the same time, however, people here protect and perpetuate their nation\u2019s traditions with hunting, trapping and fishing activities and they make sure that the Cree culture and Cree language are taught in school.In fact, when you arrive in Wemindji, you quickly realize that the 21st century hasn\u2019t altered the powerful attraction that traditions have on people.There are craft nights, caribou cutting and cleaning, gathering and also walking ceremonies for toddlers among others.And what makes Wemindji such a friendly and attractive community is that non-indigenous people are more than welcome to take part in these activities.So, does tradition live on?Absolutely! If you go the extra mile, Cree people will offer it to you in such a respectful and delightful way.As I write this it is 10:15 pm and Roxanne and Adam just got back from a craft night at the Culture Camp.Adam slept in a traditional hammock, cried, but finally fell asleep when the elders hummed him songs.They even rubbed his back and his chest with bear fat in order to heal him from his cough.To be fully beneficial, one of the elders even asked the soul of the bear to take care of Adam.For Roxanne it was an opportunity to meet new people and have supper.She spent four hours making traditional mittens beside a freshly caught muskrat and she ate caribou, moose, bear fat and ptarmigan.and she brought me back some leftovers! Bon appétit.JONATHAN BAILLARGEON Adam slept in a traditional hammock, cried, but finally fell asleep when the elders hummed him songs.JONATHAN BAILLARGEON DAT ONU ONE YEAR UBSCWPl»0** included) THE RECORD B 119 YEARS OLD TODAY !

Parkview Elementary performing Where is the Love?Book Club The Nature of the Beast by Louise Penny By Joan Windle Barnes Penticton, BC is a long way from the Eastern Townships, especially for someone who still has a big part of her heart resting there.So on a cold and dark, late afternoon in January I held a book club meeting, chez moi, and temporarily immersed myself into Townships culture.Thanks to Inspector Gamache and other residents of Three Pines.Our club is small in number and we hold meetings every six weeks.The member choosing the book hosts the meeting.I chose Louise Penny\u2019s The Nature of the Beast.If you\u2019re familiar with Penny\u2019s books you know that much is devoted to the description of food, the type that one might find at the local bistro.In this book there are multi mentions of apples.Apple cider, barrels of apples for the taking, apple and avocado salsa with corn chips, canvas tote bags of apples, McIntosh apples, the scent of overripe apples, maple-smoked ham apple and brie sandwich, warm grilled apples, crepes stuffed with apple confit, apple crisp, apple stuffing, crackers and cheese on top of thin sliced apple, parsnip and apple soup, fettuccine with grilled salmon tossed with fennel and apple, apple chips and more.Since we provide refreshments when hosting the book club I felt I absolutely needed to include apples.When members walked in and saw on my coffee table a plate of cheese on thin sliced apples they exclaimed, \u201cOh, right out of the book!\u201d I also went to the trouble of making by hand, apple chips.The secret is in slicing the apples thin like potato chips and slow roasting them in a low oven.I added sea salt while they were still warm and what fun it was to munch on them, knowing they were similar to potato chips but so much healthier for you.I also slowly warmed a round of brie and topped it with walnuts, cranberries, caramelized apple chunks and then drizzled maple syrup on top.That was served with baguette sliced and dried to form a type of crouton.I had apple cider available but we live in wine country here in the Okanagan and the libation of choice was a glass of red or a glass of white.When I was a child, living in Knowlton, my mother used to make cinnamon rolls.In her book, Louise referred to them as \u2018pets de soeurs\u2019.Other names apparently are \u2018teacher\u2019s pets\u2019 or \u2018nun\u2019s farts\u2019.I served them later, as a kind of dessert.The discussion around the name of these little devils became quite animated.Mind you we were into our second glass of wine by then.For background music I played Neil Young\u2019s Old Man Look at my Life and By the Rivers of Babylon, and some Pete Seeger.Mention in the book of Gerald Bull led me to Google more information and there in black and white was the very photograph of him that Louise described it on page 163.Research was required into more information about the Whore of Babylon and I produced copies of interpretations from the Internet and images of the seven-headed monster.At first some of the club members found the idea of the two guns, Baby Babylon and Big Babylon a bit far-fetched but after reading the author\u2019s note and realizing that Gerald Bull and the creation of the two guns was based on fact, interest in the book perked up.One of the club members who in the beginning was lukewarm to it said that she would definitely want to read the book again.At the time we held this meeting The Nature of the Beast had been on the New York Times Best Seller list for ten weeks.We Googled, \u201cHow do I get on the New York Times Best Seller list?\u201d and came up with an interesting article by Heather MacLean.As a follow-up, next time I\u2019m in the Townships I would like to take a peek at the site of Baby Babylon, still fenced and chained.If I am able to locate it, that is.#1 new YORK TIUÈS BESTsfeLUNO AUTHOR THE NATURE THE BEAST LOUISE PENNY Page 6 Tuesday, February 9,

dogs awaits goaltender Alex D\u2019Orio but the Sherbrooke native knows that he has some unfinished business with the Magog Cantonniers.\u201cWe had a good season but we want to finish first and win the championships,\u201d the Sherbrooke native said after receiving one of 28 scholarship bursaries presented last Friday in Brossard by the Montreal Canadiens and the Quebec foundation for Athletic Excellence.The awards ceremony marked the ninth consecutive year that the Cana- diens acknowledged the on-ice achievement and academic distinction of 28 young hockey players.Created in 2008 by the Montreal Canadiens, this initiative aims to provide the most promising young student-athletes in men and women\u2019s hockey with financial support.Last year, the Canadiens extended their partnership with the Foundation with a $250,000 investment over a five-year period, until 2020.Following the ceremonies earlier today, the Montreal Canadiens presented twenty-eight $1,500 scholarships to the most deserving young hockey players between 15 and 18 years of age.Eight of the scholarships were handed out to female hockey players from Quebec\u2019s provin- cial team hoping to earn a spot on the Canadian National Team, while 20 more scholarships were awarded to hockey players from the Midget AAA league.The ceremony was held at the Canadiens\u2019 Bell Sports Complex in Brossard following the team\u2019s practice session.D\u2019Orio, who played in the Quebec U-16 team that played in the 2015 Canada Games in Prince George, is known for his athleticism and quickness.He was drafted in the first round (ninth overall selection) of the 2015 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft by the Sea Dogs and looking forward to live in Newfoundland.Like any elite midget player D\u2019Orio has a goal to play profes- sionally in the National Hockey League but also knows there is life after hockey and his schooling is important.\u201cI will take Grade 12 next year and then planning on going to university while I\u2019m playing for the Sea Dogs,\u201d he said.\u201cWhen I finish playing hockey I want a career in real estate.\u201d D\u2019Orio was one of two Cantonniers to receive a bursary.Drummondville native Olivier Mathieu, the team\u2019s leading scorer, was awarded a stipend.Gabrielle David and Amelie Lemay, also from Drummondville and members of the Quebec provincial program, were among eight female players who were also recipients.Hamel-Petit and Kamane Named Provigo Robert Lafond athletes of the week Clare Webb Sports Information Intern The Bishop\u2019s

blizzard conditions, the National Wildlife Federation says thousands (if not millions) of birds can starve, since it can be difficult to find enough food to survive.The organization suggests putting out a bird feeder filled with high-fat seed mixes, which help them get the necessary calories they need to burn and stay warm.When you fill a bird feeder, stomp the ground around the bottom with your feet so the snow and ice is compacted.This allows any spillage of birdseed to be safely eaten by ground-eating birds, like doves.Muscular Oystrophy / Y v V * ' ^ ' v * ' w 1 800 567-ACDM

doctor wants me to have surgery.But recently I read about a study that said not all women with this type of breast cancer even need to be treated.Can you help clear this up?DEAR READER: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a type of breast cancer.In DCIS, the cancerous cells are contained within the breast\u2019s ducts (which carry milk to the nipple) but have not invaded surrounding tissue.The standard treatment for DCIS is surgery.This might mean a mastectomy, which removes the entire breast and usually some nearby lymph nodes.Or it might be a lumpectomy, which removes only the cancerous tumor and a small amount of healthy tissue around it.Surgery may be followed with radiation therapy, designed to kill any possible remaining cancer cells in that breast.But a recent study suggests standard treatment may be too aggressive.The researchers studied more than 108,000 women with DCIS.The main finding of the study was that the chance of premature death in women of all ages who had DCIS was no greater than in women without DCIS.However, the chance of death from breast cancer was higher in women younger than age 35, and in African-American women, who had DCIS.Some media coverage of this study left the impression that DCIS doesn\u2019t need to be treated.In fact, all patients in the study received some form of treatment.What the study does say is that none of the treatments differed very much from one another with respect to ultimate survival.Here is the dilemma: DCIS constitutes about 20 to 25 percent of all breast cancers that are found by screening tests (usually mammograms).Under the microscope, the cancerous cells of DCIS have a similar appearance to the cells of breast cancers that are invading the breast.Even though DCIS is not invading the breast, it looks like it might do so in the future.About 50,000 to 60,000 DCIS lesions are removed each year in the United States.Yet the number of cases of invasive breast cancer has not gone down.That seems to mean that in most women who have the DCIS surgically removed, it never would have invaded the breast or spread.But in a few, it would have.The problem is, we haven\u2019t yet figured out a way to identify the relatively few DCIS tumors that will invade and spread from the larger number that won\u2019t.You and your doctor are going to have to consider your individual risk factors.If your doctor thinks that not having surgery, just closely monitoring the DCIS, is an option, you would need to decide if you are comfortable with that plan.Some men face a similar dilemma.Some prostate cancers never spread.There are pretty good, but not perfect, ways of identifying those \u201cindolent\u201d cancers.Often, men and their doctors choose not to remove these cancers, but just to monitor them.Fortunately, the majority of women with DCIS have an excellent prognosis.Their cancer does not spread.Dr.Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical

siblings.Over the years, five siblings have died.You\u2019d think we would try to be closer after such awful losses.So when does the bullying stop?I have tried to be an upstanding sister and aunt, but no matter how much I contribute my money, time and empathy, they think it\u2019s OK to belittle me and encourage their kids and friends to do the same.I never talk trash about my sisters.Actually, I speak very highly of them in front of and behind their backs.They do not return the favor.I\u2019ve put up with the \u201clittle sister syndrome\u201d for decades and am quite tired of it.It\u2019s worse when they get their friends to gang up on me.At last year\u2019s Christmas party, my sister\u2019s best friend said I was the \u201cscrew up\u201d of the family in front of everyone and not one person stood up for me.My sister\u2019s mother-in-law snickered at some other nasty comment someone made about me.I have decided to limit my contact with my siblings and avoid them altogether on holidays, since I become everyone\u2019s target.They don\u2019t think their actions are wrong or hurtful.I\u2019m done with being the nice sister just to be thrown under the bus and run over Annie\u2019s Mailbox repeatedly.They say I\u2019m \u201ctoo sensitive,\u201d but if someone treated them this way, they would fall to pieces.I thought time and maturity would soften this behavior, but it\u2019s just gotten worse.Any suggestions?\u2014 Sister in Situation Dear Sister: It\u2019s too bad your siblings haven\u2019t managed to grow up, but not everyone does.This is the family dynamic they are accustomed to, and not even the deaths of five of you have altered it.Ten children is a lot, and in some families, kids feel the parents are neglecting them in favor of a younger sibling.This could be how things began, but it no longer matters.You get to decide how to handle them now.Try talking to each sibling individually.Say that you love and value them, but you are tired of being mocked and hurt.Ask them to be more aware of the way they treat you, so that your remaining years together can be happy and loving.Give them the opportunity to change.But if they are unwilling to work on this, it makes sense for you to see less of them.Dear Annie: I think your response to \u201cConfused and Torn\u201d was perfect.She said her boyfriend thought she should put her 15-year-old Pomeranian, \u201cClover,\u201d to sleep because the dog was in constant pain and not likely to improve.I\u2019ve had to put several pets to sleep because of old age and it\u2019s always a horrific decision to make.However, Clover\u2019s owner is doing a great disservice to the dog by insisting on keeping her alive when she\u2019s in so much agony.I would like to make a suggestion that may make the decision a little easier.She should have Clover cremated and indicate in her will that she would like Clover\u2019s ashes to be put in the coffin with her.In that way, the little dog will be with her forever.I will do this with my one remaining cat when the time comes and just the thought of it makes the burden a little lighter to bear.\u2014 Indiana Dear Indiana: Thank you for writing.We hope \u201cConfused and Torn\u201d will consider your advice for Clover\u2019s sake.Annie\u2019s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Please
