Since our partnership with Dawson College and our dedication in following the Living School model, CES is always looking for ways to interact with nature, using the living world as a teacher, and increase our involvement in our community.September 15 was World Cleanup Day, so we decided to take the CES students into Cookshire and The students at Cookshire Elementary enjoyed a hike up Mont Mégantic, which will lead to nature writing, science projects and art activities.COURTESY Sherbrooke doctor taking new steps in the ?eld of brain cancer By Gordon Lambie Doctor David Fortin, a researcher on the Fleurimont Health campus of the CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie \u2013 CHUS, announced a new method and research study on Tuesday aimed at improving the treatment of glioblastoma, a rare and very aggressive form of brain cancer.The new approach being championed by Fortin and his team is a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but catered to the individual based on specific and focused testing of tumor tissue in the moment it has been removed from the body.\u201cWe\u2019re on the wrong track right now trying to treat everyone in the same way,\u201d Fortin said, explaining that what is innovative about the proposed method is that it takes into account the idea that the cancer manifests and infiltrates each brain differently.The neurosurgeon and oncologist explained that the average prognosis for someone with a glioblastoma diagnosis is 14 months but said that tests to date indicate that period could increase to nearly 23 months using his technique.Fotin\u2019s technique, which is unique throughout the world, relies on surgical removal of the tumor, testing of tumor tissue to determine individual needs and challenges, a combination of intra-arter- ial chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and a regular follow-up using a specialized MRI machine.\u201cOur research team has succeeded in finding the perfect synergy between CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 5 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 Ben by Daniel Shelton Page 2 Wednesday , October 10, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Weather TODAY: SHOWERS HIGH 15 LOW 10 THURSDAY: RAIN HIGH 17 LOW 11 FRIDAY: CLOUDY HIGH 12 LOW 3 SATURDAY: CLOUDY HIGH 10 LOW 1 SUNDAY: MIX SUN AND CLOUD HIGH 11 LOW 4 The Record e-edition There for you 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week.Wherever you are.Access the full edition of the Sherbrooke Record as well as special editions and 30 days of archives.Renew or order a new 12- month print subscription and get a 12-month online subscription for an additional $5 or purchase the online edition only for $82.21.Record subscription rates (includes Quebec taxes) 1 year print: $178.21 6 month print: $97.73 3 month print: $50.59 12 month web only: $125.00 1 month web only: $11.25 Web subscribers have access to the daily Record as well as archives and special editions.Subscribing is as easy as 1,2,3: 1.Visit the Record website: www.sherbrookerecord.com 2.Click e-edition.3.Complete the form and wait for an email activating your online subscription.The 1st Lennoxville Scouts are back in full swing There\u2019s no dull moment at the 1st Lennoxville Scout group.With 68 youth and 24 staff members, we are buzzing with activity and adventure.Our four sections offer scouting experiences to boys and girls in four age groups: Beaver (ages 5-7), Cubs (ages 8-10), Scouts (ages 11-14) and Venturers (ages 15 and up).All our staff members are dedicated volunteers occupying a variety of roles within the group, whether directly involved with the youth or behind the scenes.Weekly meetings take place on Wednesday nights at the Lennoxville United Church.Weather permitting, all sections are encouraged to explore the outdoors - a fundamental Scouting principle.True to this spirit, we started the season with plenty of outdoor time! Our Cubs went \u2018geocaching\u2019 (treasure hunting) in the woods behind D\u2019Arcy-Bennett Park, while our Beavers visited the Capel- ton Mines.The Scouts and Venturers held their first camp at the Drew property on Moul- ton Hill.Adventures included hiking and navigating using a compass, cooking in Dutch ovens and propane stoves, campfire, sleeping in tents and hammocks, and a nighttime capture-the-flag game.And there\u2019s so much more coming up! We\u2019re planning a trip along the St.Francis River, combining kayaking and horseback riding.Also coming up is our Investiture ceremony.This event marks the official entry of new members into the World Scout movement.Our cheese fundraiser is just around the corner, too.All profits will be used for the benefit of the youth, allowing us to subsidize the groups\u2019 activities and replace old equipment.Donations are very welcome as well.If you wish to donate to our group, please email Stephanie Graham at stephgiggles@videotron.ca.Last but not least: 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of our group.We\u2019ve been thriving for over a century now! What a great reason for a party! More details will follow soon.We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for its ongoing support.Yours in Scouting, Didi Gorman, 1st Lennoxville Scouts Hand-In-Hand Record Staff Memphremagog Police arrested a man Sunday, caught red-handed attempting to steal a car trailer.The arrest occurred around 2:30 p.min the industrial sector of Magog.Police noticed a Pontiac Montana pulling a double-axle trailer that seemed too big for the car\u2019s capacity.During the interception on St-Patrice St.East, the police noticed that the driver was in possession of burglary tools, which were forbidden to him by court order only weeks before due to charges of breaking and entering.Following a brief inquiry into the trailer, it was determined that it had been stolen just minutes before the interception that occurred two kilometers away.In addition, a substance that appeared to be crack, as well as a small amount of cannabis and a set of \"brass knuckles\" was found during the search of the vehicle.The 39-year-old Sherbrooke man, who is well known to police, will now face counts of theft of more than $5,000, possession of burglary tools, possession of narcotics, possession of cannabis, possession of a prohibited weapon, and breach of conditions.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 these two techniques to effectively treat cancer and prolong the lives of patients without diminishing their quality of life,\u201d the researcher said, adding that the new treatment has already been approved and received financial backing.Dr Fortin and his team have started the search for patients to be a part of a clinical trial in which they will seek to prove the effectiveness of their new approach.They are currently seeking 40 adults who have not already undergone an operation in connection with their glioblastoma in Quebec, Ontario, or New Brunswick.Anyone interested in checking their eligibility for the study is invited to contact Marie-Andrée Roy at 819-349-1110, extension 75034.\u201cNothing we are doing is miraculous,\u201d Fortin added, emphasizing the fact that he hears too often about supposedly magical cures to different forms of cancer when he knows, as a researcher, that there is no such thing.While not claiming to magically cure the disease, the doctor did say he believes that this new way of approaching glioblastoma might make a significant difference to future success on that front.According to the CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie- CHUS, Approximately 2,500 Canadians are diagnosed with brain cancer every year.Fortin specified that there are roughly 240 cases of glioblastoma diagnosed in Quebec annually.Wednesday , October 10, 2018 Page 3 Portland Blvd.in Sherbrooke will be completely closed to traffic for construction between Lionel-Groulx and Jacques-Cartier North boulevards LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com North Hatley By-Election North Hatley \u2018Meet the Candidates\u2019 date change Record Staff In Friday\u2019s Record, an article mentioned that there would be a \u2018Meet the Candidates\u2019 event leading up to the by-election in North Hatley.The event, organized by the Friends Amis North Hatley (www.fanhca.org) will take place on Thursday, Oct.11 (not Wednesday, Oct.10 as mentioned).The meeting will take place at 7 p.m.at the Unitarian-Universalist Church, 201 Main Street, North Hatley.Two candidates are competing for the vacant seat;

By Hannah Dick Assistant Professor, School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University One day after the surprise victory of the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) in the recent Québec election, Premier-elect François Legault told a news conference that he plans to invoke the notwithstanding clause to finally pass legislation that will ban religious symbols for employees in \u201cpositions of authority\u201d throughout the province.But even though the Québec election is being described as a landmark shift in political power, the threat to ban religious symbols throughout the province\u2019s public service sector is nothing new.Politicians in the province have been trying to pass various religious symbols bans for the past decade, including the Parti Québecois\u2019s sweeping Values Charter from 2013 outlawing \u201cconspicuous\u201d religious symbols for anyone giving or receiving public services.Under the leadership of Philippe Couillard, the Liberals passed more modest legislation: Bill 62, which singled out full-face coverings in the public service sector, was passed in October 2017.But the law was quickly stayed by a provincial judge.Challenged by civil liberty groups Each of these attempts has been challenged by groups like the National Council of Canadian Muslims, the Canadian Council of Muslim Women and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.These organizations point out that much of the proposed legislation has singled out a small number of Muslim women who choose to wear the full-face covering niqab rather than applying broadly to all religious symbols.The Charter of Rights and Freedoms has played a key role in preventing the widespread adoption of these laws, which appear only to circumscribe the religious symbols of minority groups.Indeed, since the 2013 Values Charter, legislation banning religious symbols has included exemptions for \u201cthe emblematic and toponymic elements of Québec\u2019s cultural heritage, in particular its religious cultural heritage, that testify to its history.\u201d This clause effectively exempts Catholics from the secularization mandate by redefining their religious symbols as \u201ccultural\u201d and \u201chistorical\u201d rather than religious (and, notably, creates an exception for the large crucifix that hangs at the head of the National Assembly).It is yet unclear whether the CAQ\u2019s attempt will include a similar exemption.Minority government PQ Premier Pauline Marois also made threats about her party invoking the notwithstanding clause to pass the Values Charter in 2013.But the PQ had a minority government at the time, and Marois unsuccessfully risked an election to get a broader vote of confidence.Legault\u2019s comments, in comparison, come on the heels of Premier Doug Ford\u2019s threat to use the notwithstanding clause for the first time in Ontario, suggesting that the Charter has become something of a pawn in the struggle between right-of-centre provincial populists and the federal Liberals.That Legault\u2019s comments also come before he enters the premier\u2019s office \u2014 and backed by a majority government \u2014 signals that his attempt to pass a \u201csecularization\u201d bill might be successful.If that\u2019s the case, the CAQ\u2019s success where other parties have failed will come at the cost of both civil rights in the province and the protective capacity of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.Hannah Dick does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation

Record Under the leadership of Philippe Couillard, the Liberals passed more modest legislation: Bill 62, which singled out full-face coverings in the public service sector, was passed in October 2017.Federation of Quebec Municipalities urges new fiscal pact The end of the electoral campaign means the beginning of the negotiation of a new fiscal pact.If the commitment to transfer a point of the Quebec sales tax arouses interest, the possible terms of application, however, create several concerns.The FQM will therefore work to ensure that all communities benefit from the reform, so that municipalities, particularly small and medium-sized ones, are not penalized by a new sharing regime that would favor larger cities.Immigration and the shortage of manpower It is impossible to ignore the very worrying issues of labor shortages and aging populations that are affecting the regions.The solution to this situation necessarily involves a regionalization of immigration and the active involvement of the MRCs in this area would allow both the rapid introduction of measures to welcome and integrate Quebec immigrants and genuine support from the communities and businesses located in the regions.High Speed Internet and Cell Phone Services Access to high-speed Internet and quality cellular coverage has been the focus of political party commitments for the coming mandate, including those of the new government.In this we are delighted.It is inconceivable that 340,000 Quebec households still do not have access to a connection worthy of the 21st century.Municipalities therefore expect quick announcements.Several MRCs and municipalities that are members of the FQM have already demonstrated leadership in this area and we also expect significant government support in this area, particularly in our relations with suppliers and telecommunications companies.The new government has been elected by the regions and we look forward to supporting it in fulfilling its commitments.JACQUES DEMERS, PRESIDENT, FÉDÉRATION QUÉBÉCOISE DES MUNICIPALITÉS Commentary New premier, same old story: Québec\u2019s longtime anti-niqab efforts 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2

Remembrance keeps him near.Lovingly remembered, MARION AND FAMILY By Danny Seo It sounds like a smart idea: Use stain- and water-resistant outdoor furniture inside the house.And why not?Many outdoor furniture pieces are gorgeous enough to work inside.The problem is that the fabric used to be tough-as-nails outside is treated with chemicals that are high in volatile organic compounds.These VOCs can be emitted into the air and cause pollution indoors.Leave furniture and fabric designed for outdoor use outside, and instead look for natural materials like wool, canvas and cotton for indoor use.Do Just One Thing WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2018 Dear Readers: All week, we\u2019ve been hearing responses to my unscientific poll, inspired by a similar poll by Ann Landers in the 1970s: \u201cIf you had to do it all over again, would you have kids?\u201d First I printed responses from the most common group (77 percent): parents who would gladly have children again.Next we heard from people who didn\u2019t have children and would choose the same way if given a do-over (12 percent).Yesterday I printed responses from parents who said that no, they would not have children if given the chance to do it over again (9 percent).Today we\u2019ll hear from the final (and smallest) group: people who didn\u2019t have children but would if given another chance (2 percent).ON MY OWN IN GEORGIA: I am in my early 70s and have never had any children of my own.I was an only child and therefore never had any nieces or nephews.I was blessed to have three great stepsons from my former husband\u2019s first marriage.We were always close; they considered me their second mother.We watched them graduate, serve in the military and marry and have families of their own.Thirty years later, my husband fell in love with another woman and wanted a divorce.My stepsons were shocked and upset in the beginning but eventually learned to accept the new woman in their dad\u2019s life.Needless to say, I did not take the divorce well, and it was a rough two or three years, but I have moved on and established a new life.Although I have remained on good terms with the \u201cboys\u201d and their families through texts, emails and occasional phone calls, it saddens me that things are no longer the same.I am no longer included in family events, even though I now get along with their dad and his wife, and I rarely get to see them when they come to visit their dad, who lives nearby.Often, I don\u2019t know that they were in the area until they are already home and I am hurt that they never bothered to get in touch with me.I only have one living blood relative, with whom I\u2019m not close, so I truly feel that I no longer have a family.So do I regret not having children of my own?Absolutely! As the old saying goes, \u201cif I knew then what I know now.\u201d NANCY: I am in my 70s, and I regret not having children.If I could do it all over again, I would.Dear Annie: This is in response to \u201cCan\u2019t Give Away Gifts,\u201d who finds herself unable to part with things people have given to her, even if she doesn\u2019t wear or use them.I had storage problems with my collection of children\u2019s science projects, vacation and concert T-shirts, and all manner of other collectibles.Our beyond-her-years-wise daughter suggested that I take photos of my excess treasures and then donate, recycle, reuse or discard them.What an awesome space-saving idea! It works; my treasures are as close as my cellphone.\u2014 Listened to My Daughter Dear Listened: Wise indeed! This is a bright idea that I\u2019ll recommend in the future.Here\u2019s another letter expanding on that same idea.Dear Annie: I started taking photos of items that were gifts from friends and family.Then I labeled each photo with who gave me the gift and why and put the photos in my scrapbook.I also did this with handcrafted doilies and lace my grandmother made, which would not keep well.\u2014 Audrey Dear Audrey: I love the idea of creating a scrapbook to catalog such items.With gifts, it really is the thought, not the thing, that counts, and you\u2019ve found a way to hold on to the thoughts without the things.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
