Glaxnacht is NIGH!\u201d I mean, who could remember a password that long! Write it down beside the coffee maker at least.Oh, I know why: no coffee maker.Not even an electric kettle and a selection of herbal teas.Just a plain old altar with ritual instruments of slaughter that definitely hadn\u2019t been cleaned since the last guests.Was that a hair?Gross.Was that a severed ear?Double gross.Not exactly \u201csanitized for your protection.\u201d More like \u201csacrificed for your revulsion.\u201d The poor service continued when we had to call for fresh towels after the bathtub started spewing black, sulphurous goo.Our host took, like, forever to crawl up the stairs.Literally crawl up the stairs, like a crab, with her head backwards.Like she was deliberately trying to be as slow as possible.Very passive-aggressive.Speaking of \u201chost,\u201d I thought I\u2019d get on her good side after the towel nonsense and thank her for being such a \u201cgracious\u201d host.\u201cNo.YOU\u2019RE the host!\u201d she sneered.Then she invited us down to play Scrabble.OMG senile too! And the breath.Like something died inside her.Which would explain the maggots crawling out of her shirt sleeves.\u201cI am NOT cleaning those up,\u201d I told my husband, who was busy trying to get anything on the TV.But, no, nothing but static that sounded like the agonizing moans of the damned.And PBS.And it was another Peter, Paul and Mary special! Scary! We flipped through the books on the shelf but nothing interesting: Book of the Dead; Book of the Dead 2: Dead by Breakfast; Book of the Dead III: The Housekeeping.Redundant much?There wasn\u2019t much to do besides watch the blood dripping down the walls, and that got old pretty fast, so we decided to go to bed.And this is where what to now had been uncomfortable got downright horrifying: polyester sheets! I turned to march downstairs to complain, and I swear, right then, our host materialized through the wall! No privacy whatsoever! \u201cI will not be caught dead sleeping on this,\u201d I said.\u201cOh, you\u2019ll be caught,\u201d she laughed, and then, with a boom, the lights went out.OMG now a power outage.Luckily there was an otherworldly glow coming from the bathroom.So we coldly said goodnight to our host, who seemed to be having a spell, or maybe she was muttering a spell, I\u2019m not sure, and we crawled into \u201cbed.\u201d What a night.If it wasn\u2019t the spectral figures lurking in the corners, it was the spiders crawling out of my husband\u2019s mouth (but at least it stopped his snoring LOL).The radiator also clanked.And I can\u2019t swear this for sure but I\u2019m certain that a demonic presence descended on my body and plunged an icy hand into my very soul.Or there might have been a cat in the room.All I know is that when I woke up, my ring was missing, our host was nowhere to be found and the spirits of the dead were walking the scorched, desolate earth.Just awful! But one star because there were fresh blueberry muffins in the kitchen, and they were delicious.City denies union rep\u2019s poster claim Record $taff Sherbrooke Contrary to what was conveyed through some media outlets by the white collar workers union representative, the City of Sherbrooke is insisting that no decision has vindicated the union of municipal officials and professionals the City of Sherbrooke for posters displayed on the interior walls of municipal buildings.Rather an agreement out of court, taken in good faith by both parties, and concluded without any admission or precedent by the City or the Union.In a statement issued Tuesday, the City said \u201cThis compromise was made because of, in particular, the specific context of negotiations for the renewal of the white collar workers collective agreement,\u201d which it says is going very well, according to the City of Sherbrooke.The agreement provides that such displays are limited to four weeks and that the posters be removed by the Union by November 18 at the latest.It also pro- vides that no posters will be affixed on the third floor of City Hall and that any damage following their removal will, where appropriate, be compensated for by the Union.The City of Sherbrooke has never renounced its legal claims and still believes that freedom of association expression must not come at the expense of its property rights.The City intends to make no further comment on the agreement with the Union.Ben by Daniel Shelton I3EN, CAN 1ASK T SURE.'

Waterhouse and Gli-man, Absent from Tuesday\u2019s meeting, will be sworn in at the next meeting.A declaration of conflict of interest and confidentiality agreement was handed out at the meeting.Each commissioner was asked to list any potential conflicts that could arise related to their position on the board.The document is updated annually.Commissioner Richard Gagnon told the board during the Ed Services report that the results from last year\u2019s exam period suggest the ETSB is on an upward trend, specifically in the areas of math and history.Gagnon then expressed his frustration that students at Massey-Vanier and Richmond Regional are still waiting on chromebooks that the board was prevented from ordering by the government.Because of a collective purchasing process, the call for tenders to acquire the chromebooks is in the hands of the provincial government, who, following extensive research, will choose a single provider for the contract.Murray referred to the process as bureaucratic and cumbersome.Gagnon pointed out that technology is integrated in the ETSB, so the need is urgent.Other schools may not have the same needs, and therefore not put the same pressure on the government to expedite the purchase.During the parents committee report, Parent commissioner Paul Laberge told the board he was disappointed with the accessibility to the commission sur la réussit éducatif consultation, which was scheduled from 1-4 on a weekday.\u201cIt\u2019s impossible for a working parent to attend,\u201d he said.\u201cI was looking forward to this, I had things to say.\u201d Laberge said that not only was the scheduling a challenge, the website was difficult to find, and the date of the consultation was listed, but with no time or location until the last minute, resulting in a low turnout.\u201cThere was no effort to hear from parents with kids in the system,\u201d Laberge said, calling the situation very frustrating.Commissioner Gordon Barnett informed the board about a decision announced at Galt\u2019s governing board to change the Christmas basket program.According to Barnett, the reason for the change was that the campaign takes the school\u2019s spiritual animator two months to coordinate, time that could be better used on other things.Instead of the Galt Christmas basket campaign, which has been providing food during the holiday season for ETSB families in need since the 1980s, Barnett said the new plan is to collect donations and pass them on to the Cornerstone food bank.During the closing question period, ATA President Megan Seline asked if the board were aware of the Quebec Provincial Teachers\u2019 Association convention scheduled for Thursday, Nov.24 at 5 p.m.and if schools could respect the date.The board replied that the date was respected by all schools, with the exception of one, which has a parent teacher night scheduled.The conflict was apparently brought up at the school council meeting, but it was voted to keep the parent teacher date as scheduled.Seline replied, \u201cI will verify the school council minutes.\u201d Crosswalk protest Cont\u2019d from page 1 consistent issue, in large part because of the fact that all of the crosswalks in the community fall under the jurisdiction of the ministry.As such, he explained, any time the borough council has an issue it takes several steps of intervention through other divisions of the City of Sherbrooke to even start to make a connection.\u201cLast time it took a child getting hit,\u201d the borough president said, making reference to an accident in front of the borough office in the fall of 2015, \u201cbut even then all they did was install these new reflective posts.\u201d Price said that the ministry has gone as far as approving the installation of a full stop light on College Street near Little Forks but will not install the equipment citing lack of budget.As a compromise he suggested setting up illuminated crosswalk signs like the ones the city has installed on Terril Street near the CEGEP de Sherbrooke, but the idea has not gained much ground.\u201cPush as hard as you can, we have no problem with you pushing,\u201d The borough president said to the students.\u201cWe\u2019ll be right there with you any time you need us to be.We will do everything in our power.\u201d Several community members who came out to the meeting shared concerns and criticisms related to crosswalk safety following that exchange, with many touching on the fact that as much as drivers need to be aware of the people crossing, pedestrians need to keep an eye on what they are doing as well.\u201cA lot of those students are not even watching where they are going,\u201d said Paulette Salesse, calling the matter a serious problem.\u201cThey are either talking on the phone or texting; I almost ran into one a couple of days ago.\u201d McLellan responded to those comments by pointing out that the SRC\u2019s mission is one of making the crosswalks safer, not one of assigning blame.\u201cWe\u2019re not blaming the drivers, we\u2019re not blaming pedestrians,\u201d the SRC President said.\u201cThe root cause of our concern is the system that\u2019s in place.The system is inadequate and the system needs to be replaced, but our perspective has never been to place blame on either party.\u201d Perhaps spurred by the presence of students, the citizen questions and conversation then gave way to discussion of other concerns the locals had about students, particularly with regard to noise complaints.Salesse criticised the student population as a whole for a lack of knowledge regarding Sherbrooke\u2019s rules and regulations.A resident of Connolly Street, Salesse argued that students forget that the \u201cstudent village\u201d also includes the homes of some families and said that the behaviour of those students living in the area was unacceptable.Matthew Mulkern, who sits as a general councillor on the SRC, responded to Salesse\u2019s criticisms by explaining that maintaining a relationship between the community and the student body is very important to the student government.That in mind, though, he said that people shouldn\u2019t hold back from complaining if things are going badly.\u201cIf people are screaming at 2am, that\u2019s a reason to call the cops,\u201d Mulkern said.\u201cIf there are no consequences to actions, people will do it again.\u201d The SRC representative also pointed out that this year\u2019s orientation team leaders were all given copies of the municipal bylaws to go over with the incoming class.\u201cWe have to work out a balance to have a good time and still respect our neighbours,\u201d Mulkern said.Reflecting on the meeting afterward, McLellan said that the criticisms were hard to hear.\u201cI\u2019ve lived here since I was three, so I understand where they are coming from, but I can also understand why students don\u2019t come to more of these meetings,\u201d the SRC President said.\u201cWe\u2019ll make sure we have someone here to represent us in the future.\u201d Michel Puval Advertising Consultant Serving the entire Eastern townships with three publications Brom e Co unty RECORD\tTownships Outlet One number 819 569-9 W5 mduval@sherbrookerecord.com Page 4 Thursday, October 27, 2016 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record \t\t\t\t u>c.\tlOO.\t_ ^ _\trage\tSt.Francis Elementary Rain or Shine, We Still Climb! Written by Ms.Murphy It was a wet and foggy day on October 4th, but that did not deter grades 5 and 6 from conquering Mont-Orford.Along with teachers and parent volunteers every student reached the summit of the 2800 foot mountain in the heart of the Parc National du Mont-Orford.Some groups went at a leisurely pace and paused often to enjoy the view, while others raced to the summit at top speed.Some groups even had time to climb the adjacent mountain, Mont-Giroux, and play a game of Marco Polo.Although it was very foggy at the peak the gang was still able to catch glimpses of the vivid autumn colours and stunning scenery that the region has to offer.Sunny Soccer! Written by Allyson Leblanc (Grade 6) On Monday, October 17th St.Francis, ADS and Drummondville Elementary School participated in a soccer tournament at Richmond Regional High School.The teams consisted of students in grades 4, 5,and 6.Each game had two twelve minutes halves.First up it was Drummondville vs Danville: Drummondville won for both the boys and girls.Then it was St.Francis vs Drummondville and it was really close.At the last minute for the girls a penalty kick was called so St.Francis sent their front player Alicia Herbers from grade 6.She kicked it and it went right in! For the boys Drummondville won again.Next up was Danville vs St.Francis.St.Francis won for the girls and ADS won for the boys.The boys later beat Danville in the semi-finals and moved onto the finals.The final games for both the boys and girls were Drummondville against St.Francis.St.Francis won gold in both games!

Terry Fox is a true hero and we are proud to help his cause.On October 6th our grade 1 students eagerly embarked on the annual pumpkin patch visit to Plantations Stéphan Perreault in Windsor.During the visit students learned about the different varieties of pumpkins and squash as well as the life cycle of the pumpkin.Students had the opportunity to visit the facilities where the pumpkins are washed and processed ready to be shipped locally and to the United States.Students, teachers and parent volunteers visited the pumpkin patch where students hunted for their perfect pumpkins! Afterwards the students played in the labyrinth and bouncy game.To finish off their visit they were all treated to pumpkin cookies.They returned at the end of the day with wide smiles and their hands full of pumpkins.Joint military exercise this weekend at Champlain Lennoxville Record Staff Sherbrooke Champlain College - Lennoxville is pleased to announce its participation in a joint medical military exercise with units from the 4th Health Services Group of the Canadian Armed Forces.On the weekend of October 28-30, 2016 several Reserve Field Ambulance units will be taking part in the exercise, the 51st Field Ambulance from Montreal, 52nd Field Ambulance of Sherbrooke and the 55th Field Ambulance of Quebec City.The exercise will take place in the Lennoxville area and on the Champlain College Lennoxville Campus.Along with over 175 military personnel, our third-year Nursing Program students and faculty will be actively participating in providing first-hand emergency care during this simulation exercise.At the same time, the College will be hosting the annual fall Open House on Saturday from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m.Specialized support for the exercise is provided from the 5th Field Ambulance from Val Cartier, and CH-146 Griffon helicopters from the 438th Tactical Helicopter Squadron of St-Hubert and the 430th Tactical Helicopter Squadron of Val Cartier.This exercise is conducted without firearms, however, the presence of large military vehicles, and helicopters will be seen in the borough of Lennoxville and on the Campus of Champlain.The exercise is organized by the 52nd Field Ambulance of Sherbrooke and the College has been involved with the planning of this event for more than a year.y PressReaderN 604 278 4604 APPLICABLE L AW J press nd distributed by PressReader.com ?+1 604 ND PROTECTED BY The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday, October 27, 20 16 Page 5 PHELPS AIDE T PHELPS HELPS By Clea Corman We all know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, where Jack sows his seeds and then makes the long journey up the beanstalk, only to discover a land of giants and oversized furniture.Drawing similar parallels, Phelps\u2019s Mentoring Program is starting back up this year in November.This will be the program\u2019s second year and it will run from November to May, offering free monthly activities to its participants.The Mentoring Program was designed to ease the transition between elementary and high school.Many students in Stanstead start off in small elementary schools - Sunnyside Elementary has approximately 120 students - and transi- tion to large regional public high schools, such as Galt, with over 800 students.For young Stanstead students, it can be difficult to imagine high school; it\u2019s big, intimidating and far from home, much like Jack\u2019s climb up the beanstalk.Elementary students are paired with high school students, who have already made the infamous journey and can share positive experiences with the younger students.The Mentoring Program also provides high school students with the opportunity to create ties with some of the younger kids in their community and gain valuable work experience through mentor training.Putting all metaphors aside, Phelps\u2019s Mentor Program is beneficial for both mentors and mentees, and the group of students last year had a great time during the group activities and outings! To become a high school mentor or elementary mentee, email info@phelpshelps.ca or call 819-704-0799 for more information.Phelps Aide Phelps Helps is an educational non-profit striving to reduce the elevated drop-out rate in the Stanstead area.Phelps was started in 2012 by two community members, and has grown from a single program to five unique programs, providing Stanstead area students with free tutoring, educational support and hands-on learning for both elementary and high school students.To participate in Phelps\u2019s programs or to become a volunteer send an email to info@phelpshelps.ca or call 819-704-0799.For more information about Phelps Helps or to make a donation, please visit www.phelpshelps.ca Frontier Animal Society Nicka is an extremely sweet and affectionate dog who first came to us when her family's situation changed and as a result, she was regularly left alone for 12-15 hours a day.That's no life for a dog but still, finding herself in a strange new place, away from the people she knew best wasn\u2019t easy for this loving and sensitive girl.In some regards Nicka is the perfect dog.She is extremely calm and well behaved in the home, she is affectionate and loving and she very responsive.With people, Nicka has a wonderfully gentle demeanour and she is truly adored by all who meet and interact with her.After only a short time at the shelter, Nicka won the heart of an adopter and spent close to five weeks in her new home.Nicka was happy and quickly settled into her new routine and she was much loved by her new family.Nicka does, however, have a prey drive and can be reactive to other dogs.Unfortunately, her adopter was not equipped to deal with these types of behaviour so for the good of all involved, Nicka included, she Featured Pet: Nicka was returned to the shelter.What Nicka needs, is an adopter who will appreciate all of her wonderful qualities but who also understands that she will do best in a more controlled environment where she is not only loved but receives structure and guidance.Nicka\u2019s ideal adopter is someone who is dog savvy and has the knowhow and experience to keep her calm and focused when encountering other dogs on her walks.At the shelter, Nicka is often in close proximity to other dogs and we are pleased to see that for the most part she does not appear to be overly anxious.Because of her prey drive, Nicka must be the only animal in the home and she cannot be allowed outdoors off leash.A home with a securely fenced backyard where she can play and enjoy the great outdoors would be great.Not yet six, Nicka, who we believe to be a husky/lab mix is not overly energetic and her preference while out in our fenced-in dog park is to just chill and hang out rather than run and chase her toys.Nicka is attentive and knows her basic commands.She loves interacting with people and is extremely affectionate and very responsive to those around her.If you think you might be able to provide Nicka the home and life she deserves, we'd love to hear from you.She has a really special way about her and in the right home, we know she will thrive and be a cherished member of your family- Your GENEROSITY lets us do great tilings!

education,.Fibs to Lies with The Donald Tim Belford Americans will be picking a new President in a little over a week.In a campaign that made our recent 78-day effort - one of our longest ever -look like a snap election, our friends south of the border have been at it for about four years.Roughly thirty-two seconds after Obama took the oath of office for his second term CNN announced it\u2019s first in-depth special on who was likely to replace him.The Democrats very quickly made it a two-horse race with Hillary, Tm going to keep doing this until you elect me\u2019 Clinton, facing off with perennial outsider, Bernie Sanders.Hillary had the support of the Democratic establishment, Washington insiders, Wall Street, \u201860s feminists, those who still believe Monica Lewinsky seduced Bill, and Barak Obama.Bernie, who the Republicans believe is a Marxist fanatic who wants crazy things like affordable health care and free education, had the support of the jobless, the young, left over \u201860s radicals and anyone who ever wrote a self-help book.In actual fact, Sanders is just a bit to the right of the NDP but who knew.On the Republican side so many would-be presidents threw their hats into the ring it looked like the ice surface at the Forum after a Guy Lafleur hat trick.They covered the entire political spectrum from Jeb Bush on the right to Ted Cruz on the far right to Mike Huck-abee on the extreme right.There was a governor or two, a neurosurgeon, a libertarian, a business woman, a tinker, a tailor, a candlestick maker and Donald Trump.One by one they fell by the wayside.Marco Rubio came across as too needy.Ted Cruz asked for God\u2019s guidance once to often (as if God was a republican in the first place).Neurosurgeon Ben Car-son actually thought of himself as a little too god-like to begin with.Carly Fiorina proved you could become the CEO of Hewlett-Packard and know nothing about people.As for Jeb Bush?Even if he was the smart one, who needed a third Bush in the White House.Finally there was The Donald.Right from the get-go Donald Trump and his \u201cMake American Great Again\u201d, his promise of change and his dismissal of political correctness hit a chord with a wide sector of the American population.Every time he opened his mouth he blamed a different group for the United States\u2019 problems.Muslim immigrants were bringing jihad with them.Blacks were terrorizing the inner-cities, Hispan-ics were all drug dealers, and the politicians in Washington were doing nothing.And every time he took his foot out of that same mouth he said \u201cYou\u2019ve got it all wrong!\u201d \u201cI have a great relationship with the blacks.\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s nothing I love more than women.\u201d \u201cMy IQ.is one of the highest - and you all know it!\u201d On it went.The more outlandish the statement the more press he received.Trump didn\u2019t need to buy TV ad time.When asked who he consulted on foreign policy he merely had to say, \u201cI\u2019m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain, and I\u2019ve said a lot of things.\u201d The media howled but his followers bought more t-shirts.Accusations of sexual assault, racism, warmongering and policy ignorance were waved aside, denied or blamed on a media conspiracy.It was obvious.The man is a consummate liar.And now we know why.The University College of London\u2019s Affective Brain Lab has just come out with a study that says not only do little fibs lead to bigger lies but our brain adapts to increasing dishonesty.In short, the more you lie the easier it is.So, as television lawyer Perry Mason used to say, \u201cI give you exhibit A.\u201d Education Analysis Mentoring can help students too Well-structured programs provide example for public schools By Scott Stevenson Mentoring is a popular approach to educating entrepreneurs in Quebec today, and is also finding its way into our public schools for youth, although not yet enough.The Dobson-Lagassé Entrepreneurship Centre at Bishop\u2019s University had its mentoring program accredited in 2003 and has since built a team of about 40 volunteer mentors serving 50 entrepreneurs who want to learn and grow in their profession.Mentoring is a privileged one-on-one educational experience that depends on compatibility, respect, and trust.A men- tor chooses to share his or her experience and knowledge for the sole purpose of helping someone who is interested in benefiting from that other person\u2019s guidance.Dobson-Lagassé is strict about how a mentor and mentee are matched and about maintaining respect and trust in the relationship.Similar organizations do the same, interviewing candidates carefully, having both parties sign agreements including codes of ethics, and monitoring the relationship.The Big Brothers and Big Sisters Association has been matching adult role models with youth in need for decades.Mentors for struggling students RECORD 1195 Galt East,

l\u2019Estrie\u2014recommends similar mentoring for youth struggling at school.All youth can benefit from the individual leadership and watchful eye of a more experienced and knowledgeable person interested in helping them grow and flourish, but struggling students are a good place to start.Some schools match older students with younger ones to help them integrate in a new school.And others assign \u201cmentors\u201d to students who have an \u201cindividualized education plan\u201d (IEP) to help them overcome academic challenges.In these cases, the leaders are chosen and matched with less criteria than at organizations like Dobson-Lagassé.IEP \u201cmentors\u201d are more like coordinators, yet this could be the opportunity to implement Panda\u2019s idea of full mentors for struggling students.As at Dobson-Lagassé, schools could ask for volunteers\u2014be the older students, parents, coaches, teachers, or others\u2014to serve as mentors, then ask each student which candidate best suits them.The improvement over the IEP coordinator approach or assigned staff would be having a kind of volunteer buddy system guided by compatibility.Mentor and student would keep in frequent contact so that students know their mentor is keeping a caring watch out for them and available when help or an attentive ear are needed.If a student gets in trouble, for example, he or she would have a friendly and mature model to help guide them through it.This would involve giving students choice in who their mentor is\u2014and more work for a school managing the program.But the payoffs could be very significant, even in time savings for a school and better performance results.Certainly, students and schools need such a program at least as much as entrepreneurs.The Record

Let me say first, I have been sadly remiss in my duties to keep you all informed on the doings of the Sawyerville UCW.I want to apologize to all of you who look forward to being kept in the loop.I will try to get you up to date now.June 15, 2016, was our last meeting until the fall.President Bonnie Fowler, greeted us all and here is one of her quotes: If you really want to do something, you\u2019ll find a way.If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll find and excuse! Devotions began with an Amish proverb: Speak gently.It is far better to rule by love than fear.We sang This Day God Gives Me (VU 410).Doreen Cairns read a Father\u2019s day poem and a story called Hold Your Tongue.She said a prayer.We said the Lord\u2019s Prayer.I read a couple of stories from Chicken Soup for the Father\u2019s Soul.We sang I Heard The Voice of Jesus Say (YU 626).We ended with a verse from Matthew 11:28: Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Doreen Cairns, secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting.Twelve members answered the roll.Bonnie sent out two birthday cards for Cheer.Theda Lowry sent out three cards (and there would be more in July) for Cradle Roll and Membership.Sunday School has ended for the summer.Bonnie thanked us for our work for Guest Day in May.We received two thank you cards for gifts and donations.We said we would hold another Turkey Supper.We closed with the Mispah Benediction.There was pizza and angel cake with ice cream and strawberries.Unfortunately, I had to miss that because of another commitment but I heard that it was very good.September 8, 2016, was the Turkey Supper in the Catholique Church basement in Sawyerville.Plenty of turkey with all the trimmings and plenty of pies were served and eaten with enjoyment.Thank you all who came to help -and all who came to eat! Once again, the community spirit was shown to be alive and well in and around Sawyerville! September 21, 2016.Bonnie Fowler, president, welcomed us saying, \u201cWelcome back! Hope you all had a nice summer!\u201d and commented on how fast it flew by.Bonnie\u2019s September quote: The golden rod is yellow / The com is turning brown / The trees in apple orchards / With fruit are bending down.Devotions began with a prayer from Voices United (525) You Embrace All People - quite appropriate since we\u2019ve been hearing much about racism these days.It\u2019s important to remember that we are all equal in the eyes of God.Our first hymn was All People That on Earth Do Dwell (VU 822).Doreen Cairns read a story from Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul called \u201cft Really Didn\u2019t Matter\u201d.The young people at Shively Christian Church, led by Pastor Stone, were fiercely competitive with their rival, Shively Baptist Church.One week, the lesson was about when Jesus washed the disciples\u2019 feet, and wanting to make sure the lesson stuck, Pastor Stone divided the young folk into groups and sent them out into the neighborhood to find practical ways to become servants.Two hours later, when they returned, each group told what they had done - visiting someone in hospital, yard work, etc.The final group reported that they had done yard work for an older lady on the advice of the Baptist pastor.As they were leaving, the old lady thanked them and said that she didn\u2019t know what she would do without the kids at Shively Baptist Church.When Pastor Stone said he hoped that they corrected her and made sure she knew that they came from the Shively Christian Church, the young ones said \u201cNo, we didn\u2019t think it mattered!\u201d Doreen read a poem about \u201cAttitudes\u201d then read a prayer.We said the Lord\u2019s Prayer.I read a story and then we sang All The Way My Saviour Leads Me (VU 635) We ended Devotions with a quote from William James: Act as if what you do makes a difference.It does.Doreen Cairns, secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting.They were declared as read.Roll call proved nine members present.Wendy Mackay gave the Treasurer\u2019s report.Theda Lowry thanked us all for all the work we did for the Turkey Supper.Sunday School has begun.Bonnie sent a card around to be signed.Theda sent out several cards for Cradle Roll.Theda announced that the Stewards and their helpers would be making apple pies again.Sharon Moore has kindly provided us with the information about our 55th Anniversary Datebook THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2016 Today is the 301st day of 2016 and the 36th day of autumn.TODAYS HISTORY: In 1682, the city of Philadelphia was founded.In 1787, the first of the Federalist Papers appeared in a New York City newspaper.In 1904, the first underground New York City subway line opened to the public.In 2005, after three weeks of criticism, Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination to the U.S.Supreme Court.TODAYS BIRTHDAYS: Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), 26th U.S.president; Emily Post (1872-1960), author; Joe Medicine Crow (1913-2016), historian/-author; Dylan Thomas (1914-1953), poet/playwright; Ruby Dee (1922-2014), actress; Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997), artist; Sylvia Plath (1932-1963), poet; John Cleese (1939- ), actor/writer; Dick Trickle (1941-2013) race car driver; Ivan Reitman (1946- ), director/producer; Carrie Snodgress (1946-2004), actress; Fran Lebowitz (1950- ), columnist; Roberto Benigni (1952- ), director/actor; Matt Drudge (1966- ), journalist.TODAYS FACT; Joe DiMaggio sent roses to ex-wife Marilyn Monroe\u2019s crypt in Los Angeles three times per week for the next 20 years after the actress died in 1962.The couple\u2019s divorce was finalized on this day in 1954.TODAYS SPORTS; In 2004, the Boston Red Sox defeated the St.Louis Cardinals 3-0 in Game 4 of the World Series, completing the sweep and winning the championship for the first time since 1918.TODAYS QUOTE; \u201cTo sit home, read one\u2019s favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective.It is what evil men count upon the good men\u2019s doing.\u201d \u2014 Theodore Roosevelt TODAYS NUMBER; 6 - number of subway systems worldwide that carry more passengers than New York City\u2019s subway does (Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul, Moscow, Tokyo and Guangzhou).TODAYS MOON; Between last quarter moon (Oct.22) and new moon (Oct.30).National Celebrations which will take place in Vancouver, B.C.July 10-14, 2017.We closed with the Mispah Benediction: May the Lord watch between me and thee while we are absent, one from the other.Theda made the traditional turkey pie for our potluck.There were salads and vegetables and sweet, sweet desserts.What a wonderful way to end our meetings - good food, good friends and great conversation!
