keep a spare charger in your vehicle as an extra precaution.5.\tCreate a seasonal emergency kit.Start the season by completing a safety checklist and creating a winter emer- gency kit for when unexpected events arise.Warm gloves, a toque or a blanket, a folding shovel, a flashlight, and a first aid kit could all come in handy.Find more tips at: www.autoTRADER.ca.www.newscanada.com Tim Dubois Sales Representative KIA DE COWANSVILLE New and used vehicles 403 rue de la Rivière 450 263-6000 Cell: 450 578-1148 www.kiacowansville.com tdubois@kiacowansville.com for all your automotive ^ and tire needs 0^33^ on select Yokohama tires SEPTEMBER 1 5th TO DECEMBER 1 5th, 2016 AVAILABLE ONLY AT AUTHORIZED YOKOHAMA DEALERS sïzâ \u2022 Consumers am eligible lor Itus manufacturer's lebate (iorn Sefrtembei 15\"' lo December 15\", 2016 Gel 570 cash back c VTO, WYOl, ioeG UARD |G5?C.rG5!v: AVID (Wend.AVID ENVigw.G EÛLANDAR G055.G0S6, GO) 5;

Brassard\u2019s art graces the window in the children\u2019s section of the library.Since the library has relocated at the old Rona site since the closure of the library on the bottom floor of the shopping centre, the children\u2019s section has been reconfigured several times trying to make it cozier.Brassard\u2019s art is a welcome addition to the children\u2019s section.Local artistFrance Brassard creates window art four times a year at the Cowansville Municipal Library.Townships a model for bilingualism Cont\u2019d from page 1 other parts of the world, it has been important to maintain the English language in a predominantly French-speaking province.Participants of the discussion represented a number of Anglo organizations serving the region.At the table were Rachel Hunting of Townshippers; Association, Tania Szymanski of the MRC Brome-Missisquoi\u2019s CLD, Gayle Rhicard of Avante Women\u2019s Centre in Bedford, Lindsay Tuer of CLSC La Pommeraie in Cowansville, Cutting, and Luc St.Jacques with I am Free.Knowing the multitude of benefits in bilingualism from better job and travelling opportunities to stimulation of the brain and everything in between, all agreed that the earliest possible start for language acquisition would provide the best results.A discussion on language programs in schools demonstrated the necessity to review the methodology.Szymanski was emphatic that there should be a more integrated system whereby all children follow a 50-50 format.That way they would be speaking both languages daily.Hunting provided Paradis the brief that her organization had prepared for the pre-budget consultations in Febru- ary.She emphasized the necessity for other ministries to get on board with programs to support the minority communities across Canada because Health Canada has been so supportive for a lot of years.As much as the French and English get along, the English minority still needs a lot of support.In the rural areas there is especially a need to find jobs and meaningful careers, not only in the towns but also in the rural parts of our territory.Health Canada injects $400,000 just to Townshippers\u2019 alone so that programs, translations, and training for health care professionals can be made available and that will entice participants to stay in the region.They are programs that have impact in the community.Health Canada understands the importance of supporting the English community in Quebec.If other ministries could follow suit, Hunting said, it would make a big difference to the community.Getting support from other ministries such as Heritage Canada and Innovations would be a big game changer Bursaries are issued to students in health care services needing to improve language skills and are willing to commit to staying in the region.Everyone at the table had complaints about translations that are not providing the same context in the two official languages.Tuer, who works daily with documents from the Quebec government, says that she is often asked to review the English translations of the documents.She also says that often the translations do not present the same context as the original document.Everyone agreed translations that are done are not necessarily by native speakers, resulting in lost nuances.Example the Google translate might get 90 per cent right but it could be missing the human element and therefore the context is lost.Tuer brought up the issue of legislated bills that incite unnecessary questions and fears.There are misperceptions from areas where only one language is spoken that we don\u2019t work together.But the two linguistic communities really do get along well and they are an example for the other provinces across the country.\u201cIf we could figure out how to export it we would be well off, \u201cHunting said.The Eastern Townships has an historical relationship of working together \u2014 it is necessary to speak both languages.It is a mixed community living beside the United States.It\u2019s important that business people in this region speak both languages.Having worked in tourism St.Jacques stresses the necessity of using both languages on marketing tools and websites.The importance of bilingualism \u2014 if one wants to change things and make things happen we have to speak both languages across Canada, but English is used across the world.Cutting said the reason for success is that this has not been a competition.Rather, it has been a matter of cooperation.Speaking both languages in the Townships has historically been a matter of survival because of rural conditions.A discussion about the definition of culture versus language ensued.There must be a clear understanding between language and culture.Learning the language will surely serve to understand the culture.\u201cCulture is at the home level.It\u2019s about customs and traditions.You can have the culture without speaking the language,\u201d Szymanski said.Morris qualifies for Blind World Championships Cont\u2019d from page 1 sighted people.For now, he is thrilled to be representing Canada in the upcoming world championships to be held in spring 2017.The ambitious athlete attributes his success in lawn bowling to the necessary help and support from his \u201cdirector\u201d Paul Gosselin, his father-in-law, while at the Canadian Blind Lawn Bowling Championships.Gosselin received help in preparing Morris from several members of the Club de Boulin Grin in St.Lam- bert.\u201cShirley Ahern, founder of the Canadian Blind Sports Association, put in a lot of work with Paul teaching him about the game and how to direct me.It is not just about my skill but also the ability of the director and bowler to work together,\u201d explained Morris.\u201cI won the gold medal in the men\u2019s B3 category and earned the right to represent Canada at the World Championships in Cape Town SA in March 2017.1 will play in the mens B3 single and mixed pairs.\u201d Morris is clearly frustrated that Bowls Canada wanted nothing to do with blind in consideration that they do not discriminate against any other disability or race, gender, and age.This situation presents a challenge for athletes like Morris because there is no funding coming from anywhere to support them in high-level competitions.The cost of the trip to South Africa is not just to cover him, but his necessary \u201cdirector.\u201d He says that BBAC (Blind Bowling Association of Canada) relies on the generosity of individual donations and finding sponsors for national and international competitions.Blind bowlers are expected to pay for the team uniform and costs to world championship for both themselves and their directors.Most players try and find companies, local and provincial governments who would like to support them going to the World Championships.

three games with the large balls and pins at the bowling alley on Rue Sud in Cowansville (right beside the gym).The friendly league enjoys a delicious breakfast before the games begin, hence the name of the league.There are ten teams of four players.There is a good balance of French and English being spoken and everyone is encouraged to do the best that they can.The competition is low-key and at each alley each person who gets a strike or a spare is congratulated no matter which team they are playing for.The teams are set for the year, but if someone is looking to try it out, spares are often used when the regulars are absent.It costs $18 but that includes your breakfast and the three games.If you want more information give Carmine a call, 450-531-5608.Carmine usually knows the day before who will be absent.L i agiàfe PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUISE SMITH All bowlers are encouraged to do their best in a friendly way.Before the bowling begins, breakfast is served.Struggle of compassion versus doctrine for Catholics who choose assisted death By Geordon Omand THE CANADIAN PRESS A proper funeral is far more than an end-of-life celebration for practicing Catholics, who believe last rites cleanse the soul of sin in preparation for eternal life in heaven.But for the faithful questioning whether those final sacraments are available to a loved one who has chosen a medically assisted death, the answer may depend on whom in the church they ask.Catholic doctrine is unequivocal in its opposition to any form of suicide, but Canadian bishops have taken different positions on whether churchgoers who choose an assisted death should be absolutely barred from having an official funeral.Some religious experts say the schism is the product of Pope Francis\u2019s arrival at the helm of the Catholic Church in 2013, and his emphasis on tolerance and compassion.Wayne Sumner, a professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Toronto, said a more flexible approach to the granting of funeral rites is in line with Pope Francis\u2019s similarly softened tone on homosexuality, divorce and the ordination of women.\u201cI think you\u2019ve got some hardliners A will osy\\ bo modified to '\\v\\cd\\ido a gift to ohar'itkj.\\±/ Un heritage à partager LEAVE A LEGACY www.legacy-quebec.org 1 888 304-8834 here who want to follow the doctrine and you\u2019ve got some others who feel a compassion for people who have chosen this route and don\u2019t want to punish them or their families any more or unnecessarily,\u201d he said.In the wake of assisted dying becoming legal in Canada earlier this year, six bishops in Alberta and Northwest Territories released guidelines last month instructing priests to refuse funerals for people who choose assisted dying.The document describes how physician-assisted death is a \u201cgrave sin\u201d and contradicts the teachings of the Catholic Church.Death by assisted suicide and euthanasia are grave violations of the law of God, the document says.\u201cThese grievous affronts to the dignity of human life from beginning to natural end are never morally justified,\u201d it says.Other church leaders since then have said they would not encourage the absolute prohibition of funerals for everyone who chooses assisted dying.Emma Anderson, a scholar of Canadian Catholicism at the University of Ottawa, said the division among Catholic bishops follows from Pope Francis\u2019s move to empower lower levels of leadership to make decisions based on local circumstances.The sometimes contradictory results of such delegation of authority risks confusing church members, Anderson said.\u201cIt can be profoundly disturbing if you\u2019re a devout Catholic to be getting really different messages in Quebec, in Ottawa, in Alberta, in the Northwest Territories,\u201d she said.\u201cThere doesn\u2019t seem to be a national stance on this issue.\u201d Not everyone sees the bishops\u2019 views as contradictory, said Michael Agnew, a post-doctoral fellow in the religious studies department at McMaster University in Hamilton.\u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily that there\u2019s a schism over the church teaching, at least in the hierarchy or the leadership of the church,\u201d Agnew said.\u201cThe difference is probably in the tone that\u2019s being used at times and individual bishops\u2019 or priests\u2019 flexibility around access to these services.\u201d Rev.Marc Pelchat, vicar general of the Archdiocese of Quebec, said the variation among bishops across Canada has less to do with church doctrine on as- sisted death and more to do with a difference in approach.Pelchat said bishops in Quebec encourage a more case-by-case treatment for physician-assisted deaths and are reluctant to establish a hard-and-fast rule that ignores individual circumstances.But the church ultimately opposes assisted death and prefers palliative care, he added.Douglas Farrow, a professor of Christian thought at McGill University in Montreal, said the difference in direction between bishops is no great surprise.\u201cSome of them are more theologically astute than others and some of them are more faithful to the church\u2019s teaching than others,\u201d Farrow said.Church law gives priests considerable leeway to exercise their judgment on a case-by-case basis, he said.The difference in approach appears to follow some rough geographic patterns as well, noted Arthur Schafer, an ethics scholar at the University of Manitoba.The strong opposition in Alberta follows the province\u2019s traditional conservatism, whereas the more permissive attitudes in Quebec and British Columbia are in line with the provinces more progressive approaches, he said.D icme emers Foot care specialist A.P.Q.member C.P.A.D.Q.Receipts available

As a young boy, I had a piggy bank on my dresser that I put change into from time to time.Now, 50 years later, I still have the same pig.Do you suppose if the creator of the first bank were into lambs, we would use lamby banks today?\u2014 J.M., Athens, Georgia A: Well now, that was worth a smile-plus, but I don\u2019t think so.The history of the piggy bank began in the Middle Ages, and at first was nothing more than a simple jar made of clay, known as \u201cpygg\u201d clay.Over time \u2014 and we\u2019re talking centuries \u2014 the words \u201cpygg\u201d and \u201cpigge,\u201d the barnyard animal, became one, and they were pronounced the same.Sometime in the 19th century, an English potter decided to create a visual pun and made a bank of pygg clay to resemble a pig.Two hundred years later, I\u2019m answering a question about this delightful creation.DID YOU KNOW?Christopher Walken traveled with the circus when he was 15 years old.He was a lion tamer.Q; I think the most unusual nicknames for a university is Stanford\u2019s name, Cardinal.Why is it singular?What is the school\u2019s mascot?\u2014 S.N., West Chester, Pennsylvania A: Leland Stanford Junior University, more commonly known as Stanford University, was founded by railroad magnate, U.S.senator and former California governor Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, in memory of their only child, Leland Stanford Jr., who died of typhoid fever at age 15.Stanford opened on Oct.1,1891.In 1892, the color cardinal was picked as the primary color of Stanford\u2019s athletic teams.White was adopted as a secondary color in the 1940s.In 1930, an Indian was adopted as the school\u2019s mascot, but was dropped in 1972 after objections from Native American students.From 1972 to 1981, the official nickname for the school was the Cardinals, but in 1981, it was decreed that the athletic teams would be represented by the color cardinal in its singular form.Stanford has no official mascot, but the Stanford Tree, a member of the band wearing a self-designed tree costume, appears at major Stanford sports events.The tree is based on El Palo Alto, a redwood tree in neighboring Palo Alto that appears in the Stanford seal and athletics logo.Q; I can only paraphrase a line I heard in a movie, \u201cYou will one day rule the day you left this household.\u201d I don\u2019t get it.\u2014 T.J.K., Princeton, New Jersey A: It\u2019s an easy mistake if you are not familiar with the wording, which is \u201crue,\u201d not \u201crule.\u201d The word \u201crue\u201d means \u201cto feel sorrow over something; repent or regret bitterly.\u201d Rue is also a strongly scented plant of the genus Ruta, having yellow flowers and leaves formerly used in medicine.pressf^^J Printed and distributed by PressReader 2^7 8,4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW page 12 \u2022 BROME COUNTY NEWS Tuesday, October 11, 2016 * ¦ ¦ -Y] Salon funéraire desourdy ¦bp* si mm \u2018¦y-' -y\\j: ¦gfcé*: GRAND OPENING OPEN HOUSE salons funéraires- -funeral homes SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16th 2 p.m.to 5 p.m.101 Jean-Besré St.Cowansville "]
