there\u2019s a lot of quick change.\u201d The Public Security president reiterated the fact that with a traffic density of close to 1500 cars per day and a newly repaved surface, people sometimes take advantage of the opportunity to push beyond the speed limits.The decision to install additional bollards and conduct further study on the road came after Lennoxville resident Don Maxwell suggested the matter was being ignored at the June borough council meeting.Though Maxwell told the Record on Monday that he had seen no sign of further study on the part of the city since the summer, Denault was able to produce data up to date as of September 19th.\u201cWe are monitoring the situation,\u201d the Public Security president said.According to the most recent study Cont\u2019d on page 3 MATTHEW MCCULLY Employee Catherine Boutin holding Sam.By Matthew McCully Anew venture on Bourque Street is taking dog socialisation up a notch, offering a glassed-in indoor play area for pooches, and a café for pet owners to relax and watch their dogs romp.\u201cWe worked on the project for two years,\u201d said co-owner Geneviève Bernier, who runs the Wouf Zone along with Cynthia Dallaire.Bernier said a market study was done, and dog owners were surveyed to find out what they liked and didn\u2019t like about existing dog parks to decide what services to offer at the Wouf Zone.Finding a location was one of the biggest challenges, according to Bernier.\u201cIt took eight months,\u201d she said, to find an owner willing to allow a building that would allow dogs.The indoor dog park has a large glassed in space divided in two; one sec- tion for small dogs, and one for large.On the other side of the building is the VIP room.Bernier said it is available for rent for pet owners who have dogs that don\u2019t play well with others, but still want a space they can play and exercise their dog.The room is also used for dog training classes, Bernier said.The main part of the building is set up like a café with tables, chairs and Cont\u2019d on page 5 Reservations Appreciated (802) 334-2340 47 Landing Street I ANewport/VT 05855 i/t V-*- -\t' ' -\tv £?.,agt « > WM£ tijoy the Warmth & Abundance of Canadian Thanksgiving with \u20228 Our Harvest Features 20% on Canadian r^pr\u2014 p \\/ \u2014 Friday Evening Througl Monday Evening Steamed Mussels Roast Turkey with all the Fixings Harvest Ravioli Delicata Scallops Grilled Rack of Lamb Roasted Half pressIpf'Ui Printed and distributed by PressReader £f\u201e©© w TAP -tAP tfcpflP TlfW TIP I USE EMOJIS LIKE SITCOMS USE L4U0H TRACKS press/j'AVW Printed and distributed by PressReader PressR ead er ,£om p ?OR1(+JC(ji COPYRIGHT AMD PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW 7 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Wednesday, October 5, 2016 Page 3 \t\t\t\t \tLocal.\tN\tEWS\t\u201cA councillor needs time to reflect on the issues,\u201d The University district councillor said.\u201cThe council is supposed to support and reflect on the needs of all the citizens, not just one sector or the other.\u201d Wellington South to be an \u201centrepreneurial district\u201d GORDON LAMBIE 42 to 92 Wellington Street South, all of which the City of Sherbrooke plans to buy up, knock down, and turn into a new parking garage as a part of a new plan to rebuild the crumbling downtown street.By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke Mayor Bernard Sévigny revealed on Monday night that Wellington Street South, long seen as a blight on the downtown core of the city because of its vacant buildings and crumbling infrastructure, is being rebranded as Sherbrooke\u2019s entrepreneurial district.Meant as a way to revitalize the quarter and bring life back to the heart of the city, the initial steps of the plan stand to reshape the street by expanding the nearby parking garage, buying up and demolishing buildings, and making the street a hub of economic development agencies.\u201cOver the last year and a half work has been done and consultations have taken place on the needs of entrepreneurs in the city of Sherbrooke,\u201d Sévigny said, explaining that the city requires adaptation.\u201cThis is a vision that will come to pass over the coming years, and it will position Sherbrooke as an entrepreneurial city.\u201d Looking at the first steps of a project he said could take as much as a decade to get on its feet, the Mayor outlined four main projects to reshape the sector.First, within the next two to three years, the buildings or properties at 42, 44, 62, 68, and 92 Wellington Street South will be acquired and demolished in order to restructure and expand the existing parking garage.The new structure will have 550 parking spaces versus the current 220 and reach from Depot Street to Wellington.The acquisition process is already underway for those properties, with offers accepted for the Hotel Wellington, and O\u2019Tommy\u2019s Pub.The second step that Sévigny described involves changing the shape of Depot Street.Whereas right now the street meets Wellington South near its intersection with Aberdeen, the new plan cuts off that access point, instead creating a new level crossing and pedes- trian pathway to Grandes-Fourches Boulevard across from the Maxi Grocery Store.The new configuration would serve as a connection for the bus station as well as the new parking lot the Jean-Besre Performing Arts Centre (CASJB) and for project number three; the Children\u2019s\u2019 venue that will be built in the space where Depot street currently meets Wellington.Sévigny\u2019s fourth project sees four major economic development agencies; the CDEC, Sherbrooke Innopole, Commerce Sherbrooke, and Pro-Gestion Es-trie grouped together into the \u201cMaison de l\u2019Entrepreneuriat de L\u2019Estrie\u201d a sort of one-stop shop for those seeking entrepreneurial resources.The Maison de l\u2019Entrepreneuriat will be based on Wellington South in an as-yet undetermined location.The Mayor spoke of the initiative as an innovative long term project for the downtown that is in line with the outlooks of both the Downtown 2020 master plan and the recent work of the Entreprendre Sherbrooke round table group.He added that numerous partner organizations are expected to make announcements about new projects on Wellington Street in the near future.The motions to support the project were ultimately passed by the council, but discussion was extensive and several different councillors voiced their opposition to the way that the Mayor was attempting to approach downtown revitalization.Councillor Annie Godbout praised the idea of revitalizing the downtown core, but called a vote in favour of the project proposed an overly optimistic leap of faith in a mayor who was pushing an \u201cundefined\u201d plan in the name of making himself look better.\u201cOf the 40-odd projects he has brought forward, how many have actually succeeded?\u201d Godbout asked, suggesting that Sévigny has not proven himself capable of following through.While calling downtown revitalization \u201cmore than necessary\u201d Godbout questioned how the council was supposed to put support behind a project of this magnitude when they have only had a day to look at it.Jean-Francois Rouleau backed up God-bout\u2019s statements, saying that while the project is not without its merits, there is no reason why the planning stages for such an important decision needed to be kept secret from the councillors.\u201cA councillor needs time to reflect on the issues,\u201d The University district councillor said.\u201cThe council is supposed to support and reflect on the needs of all the citizens, not just one sector or the other.\u201d Julien Lachance spoke in favour of the project, but questioned the city\u2019s decision to spend as much as $4 million this year alone on buildings that are just going to be knocked down.Danielle Berthold fired back at Godbout specifically giving a clear impres- sion of being fed up with the suggestion that members of the Mayor\u2019s political party were just voting in favour of his ideas to support a party line.\u201cEveryone complains that nothing is happening on Wellington South, and that there is no vision,\u201d Berthold said.\u201cNow we have a vision (.) if you have a problem, propose something else.Bring solutions; that is how we make things better.\u201d Taking a different tack, Remi Demers expressed disappointment that the private sector has not done more to revitalize the sector without municipal intervention, but said that the reality is that such a course of action is simply not being taken.\u201cIf we do not make this historic decision, we will be in the same place in a few years,\u201d Demers said.\u201cI am convinced that the costs involved will only serve as wealth creation in the long run.\u201d Police investigating Argyll death Record Staff Sherbrooke Sherbrooke Police are investigating a fatal incident that occurred at the Argyll Pavilion Monday evening.At around 10:00 a.m.police were made aware of an altercation between two residents that took place Monday 10:00 p.m.leading to the death of a 74 year old man.The other man involved, 72, is currently being questioned.An investigation is underway to de- termine the cause and manner of death and as yet noting has been ruled out.\u201cInvestigators from our Services are currently awaiting information from the coroner's office and a pathologist to determine the cause of death,\u201d said Sher- brooke Police spokesperson Martin Carrier.\u201cNo other information will be forwarded by the receipt of such information.\u201d A press conference has been called for this morning.Moulton Hill Cont\u2019d from page 1 carried out, Denault said that the figures are fairly consistent with speed statistics prior to the installation of the current bollard, suggesting that the single sign is not making a significant dif- ference.\u201cThis is an ongoing issue,\u201d Maxwell said, indicating that he had not wanted to take the question of the safety of Moulton Hill back to the city before seeing the results of the most recent study.\u201cThe police can\u2019t always be here, it\u2019s not a full time solution.\u201d The Lennoxville resident said that his concerns were raised again in late September when two cars went off the road in one day, one of them damaging a hydro pole in the process.\u201cI don\u2019t know if that was responsible for the blackout that happened, but there was a blackout later that night,\u201d Maxwell said.\u201cI know that they hit it with a lot of force.\u201d Maxwell first brought a petition to the city about speeding on Moulton Hill in August of 2012.

refugee integration going well, according to SANC By Matthew McCully Close to this time last year, debate began surrounding a tentative plan to welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees into Canada, 5,750 of whom were destined for Quebec.In the Townships, dozens of fundraisers were planned to support the initiative and welcome refugees to the area.The Record spoke with Service d'aide aux Néo-Canadiens (SANC) Director Mercedes Orellana to find out how the new arrivals are doing, soon to celebrate their first year in a new country.\u201cIt\u2019s going relatively well,\u201d Orellana said, pointing out that adjusting to a new environment takes time.Orellana said that between June of 2015 and July of 2016, 23 state-sponsored Syrian families arrived in Sherbrooke, totaling 101 adults and children.She added that the Syriac Orthodox Church had sponsored an additional 133 refugees (51 families).In all, Sherbrooke is now home to at least 234 recent arrivals from Syria.\u201cThey are all at school,\u201d Orellana said, explaining the school aged children were immediately integrated into the system, and the adults were enrolled in French classes.When asked if any of the families were settled in towns outside of Sherbrooke, Orellana said that there may be other privately sponsored families, but those brought to the area through the government are all living in Sherbrooke.\u201cThere were no problems finding ac- commodations,\u201d Orellana said, adding that SANC provided a temporary space on a few occasions.\u201cMany are working already,\u201d Orellana said, while some are just now beginning their job search.According to Orellana, completing the base levels for French can take up to nine months.Before someone can begin working, their French needs to be good enough to go through job training, understand any safety protocols, and not affect productivity because of lack of comprehension.Orellana referred to the Employment Integration Program for Immigrants and Visible Minorities (PRIIME) and other Emploi Quebec programs that have helped encourage employers to hire new arrivals to the area.Orellana said that while the focus last year was on Syrian refugees, SANC has a steady stream of new arrivals from all over the world, often fleeing a dangerous situation.In total, 1,199 people arrived in Sherbrooke last year from various countries.With the Syrian refugee crisis in the forefront, Orellana explained that local residents came to SANC with financial donations, clothing, furniture, and also volunteered their time, to the benefit of all in need.In previous years, SANC maintained a bank of roughly 100 volunteers.Last year, Orellana said the number of people interested in volunteering was closer to 140.Wouf Zone Cont\u2019d from page 1 couches, all of which the dogs are welcome to sit on.There is also a store with dog toys, treats and other accoutrements.Bernier pointed out that whenever possible, the food she serves and the products she sells are local.Owners can either hang out there while their dogs are in the play area under trained supervision, or they are welcome to join in the fun.In addition to the play area, Bernier said the facility offers dog grooming, training, and there are also four self-serve elevated bathing stations, for owners who want to give their dog a scrub and not lean over a tub.The hypoallergenic shampoo and towels are provided, Bernier said.The only thing the grooming area doesn\u2019t provide is brushes.The Wouf Zone has been open for one month, and Bernier said so far things are going well.She is currently dividing her time helping with the new business, while maintaining her other profession as a lawyer.\u201cWe don\u2019t discriminate here,\u201d Bernier said, when asked about pet owners reacting to recent dog legislation debates.\u201cWe have two pit bulls that come here regularly,\u201d Bernier said, adding that one spends most of its time on its back looking for tummy rubs.Part of the Wouf Zone\u2019s mandate is to provide services and space to improve the quality of life of dogs, and also help educate owners.Bernier said she is planning a workshop in November for kids to teach them how to approach a dog, and how to treat it.There are two dog trainers on staff, and Bernier said all the employees have gone through training to recognize when dogs are uncomfortable and how to avoid tense situations.To ensure the health and safety of all visitors, Bernier said dogs that want to go into the play area have to have proof of vaccinations on their first visit.MATTHEW MCCULLY Genevieve Bernier pointed out that whenever possible, the food she serves and the products she sells are local.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and

using nicotine replacement alone.In one study, researchers compared varenicline plus nicotine replacement with varenicline alone.The combination worked better.In the other study, researchers recruited 222 smokers who weren\u2019t able to kick the habit with just nicotine replacement.They assigned them to take varenicline alone or varenicline plus bupropion, while continuing to use a nicotine patch.After 12 weeks, 40 percent of those taking both medications were no longer smoking, compared to 25 percent of those taking only varenicline.These results don\u2019t suggest that smokers take varenicline and bupropion as a first step in smoking cessation.Though they are effective, both drugs can have dangerous side effects.They can increase the risk of depression, hostility and suicidal thoughts.But when nicotine replacement alone hasn\u2019t helped, adding varenicline with or without bupropion may lead to success.A non-drug strategy that may help you quit is proper planning.Once you have decided to quit, take concrete steps.Set a quit date.Sign up for a stop-smoking support group.Develop strategies for getting back on track if you slip.Also consider cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).This type of \u201ctalk therapy\u201d will help you change thoughts and behaviors that maybe getting in the way of quitting.Finally, if you don\u2019t succeed on your first attempt to quit smoking, try again when you are ready.The average person makes several attempts before quitting for good.And remember that it\u2019s never too late to quit.Many of my patients who are longtime smokers have told me that they don\u2019t see the point of quitting.They think smoking for so many years must have led to irreversible damage, so what\u2019s the point of quitting now?It is obviously true that the sooner a person quits, the better.But it also is true that no matter how much you have smoked in the past, stopping now will increase your life expectancy.That\u2019s true even for smokers over age 65, and those who already have some degree of smoking-related disease, like emphysema.In fact, if you\u2019ve had a heart attack in the past due, in part, to smoking, stopping now will reduce your risk of another heart attack by 25 to 50 percent.pressl^fcUjjy Printed and distributed by PressReader PressR ea dce r o,mop ?ma+Jcct 604,2o7 8 4604 COPYRIGHT AMD PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page

5, 2016 The second rides to the rescue by Phillip Alder Bruno Mars, a singer, songwriter and producer, said, \u201cI don\u2019t like two stories.\u201d What was he talking about?A word with ambiguous meaning stays ambiguous until more information is given.I assumed he was discussing someone who had been painted into a corner changing his story, but no.He continued, \u201cI like one story.I never grew up with stairs.I like to stick to what I know.\u201d Well, this is the second story of yesterday\u2019s deal.South is in seven spades.What should he do after West leads a trump?North used a transfer, showed his second suit, learned that partner had three- or four-card spade support, used two doses of Blackwood, and leapt into the grand slam.South wins the trump lead, draws two more rounds of spades, and plays off dummy\u2019s two top diamonds to learn about the 4-1 split.How should he continue?It looks like he needs the heart finesse to work, but there is another possibility.Declarer should cash his club winners, discarding a heart and a diamond from the dummy, play a heart to the ace, and take the last two trumps, pitching his remaining diamonds.Everyone is down to two cards.CROSSWORD North\t10-05-16 4 K Q J 9 8 V\tA 6 3 ?\tA K 5 2 *\t7 East 4 52 y 10 8 7 5 2 ?Q 10 8 4 5 4 3 2\t?J 9 South 4 A 10 3 V\tK J 4 ?\t9 7 6 3 *\tA K Q Dealer: South Vulnerable:

East plays low, South puts up his king and hopes to drop West\u2019s queen.It is called a show-up squeeze.Across 1\tOne of seven in \u201cJabberwocky\u201d 7 Shabbat celebrant 10 \u201cBaby___\u201d:
