something the potter said makes the process of making them more interesting for her.\u201cIt\u2019s fun\u201d Doheny shared, \u201cthere\u2019s a freedom to not having to make sure each bowl is exactly the same.\u201d As to the meal, three homemade soups will be prepared for the event by local chef, Billy.According to Doheny, Leek and Potato, Butternut Squash, and a third, yet to be determined flavor are on the menu this year.At least two of the three soups will be vegan (containing no meat or animal byproducts like milk or cheese) and the ingredients have all been donated to help save on the cost of the event.A dessert will also be provided courtesy of the local Provigo grocery store.During the meal, local musicians Jonathan MacAuley and Jason Drew will also be performing to help provide ambiance.Doheny said that as many as 340 bowls have been made for the event in the past, and although the meal has proven popular, the event has never quite sold out in advance.Any leftover bowls, the potter explained, are sold afterward as a way to boost the impact of the fundraiser.\u201cYou just don\u2019t get soup,\u201d she said with a chuckle, adding that the event is well times for the bowls to become Christmas presents afterward.Soup is truly food for the soul, so help feed another soul and enjoy an autumn afternoon in Lennoxville on November 10 from 11:30 a.m.to 1:00 p.m.at Hope Church, 102 Queen Street.Tickets are available for $25.00 each at the Bishop\u2019s University Bookstore, Clark and Sons or 819-564-3666 ext.119.This event is made possible by BU/CRC, Sodexo, Provigo Lennoxville, and Lucy Doheny Pottery RECORD ARCHIVES Lucy Doheny, the local potter who helps to coordinate the project.

as the municipal civil security organization.LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 students reported feeling less stressed during the event.Green Champlain, which has been in operation for fifteen years, has a mission to positively impact the College\u2019s environment with initiatives that involve the school and the entire Bishop\u2019s University and Champlain College campus.Throughout the year, the environmental committee has organized a variety of meaningful projects, such as collecting compost on campus, creating a garden at the Champlain residences for the students, screening compelling documentaries and promoting educational activities.The committee is one of the only clubs in Quebec\u2019s higher education institutions to promote \u201cDay Without Lights\u201d and Green Champlain wishes to lead the way in environmentally friendly projects.Thanks to the committee\u2019s effort, Champlain has been an EVB-recog- nized campus (Établissements Verts Brundtland) since 2010.The institutions on the Bishop\u2019s University campus have done a great deal to ensure waste reduction and sustainable development.According to the University, Bishop\u2019s renovated its heating and cooling systems in 2008 and became the first geothermal district heating system in Canada.75 per cent of the campus power comes from free underground thermal energy, saving the University more than 2,300 tons of CO2 and 1 million cubic meters of natural gas per year.In 2010, the University implemented the Bottled Water Free Campus Campaign.The campaign consisted of banning vendors on campus from selling water bottles and improving the water fountain systems, such as installing wheelchair accessible fountains, adding filters for municipal water, and replacing old water fountains to allow the fill up of reusable water bottles.Moreover, Bishop\u2019s alumna Camie Lamarche, AgroBishop\u2019s, and the Bishop\u2019s Environmental club partnered to bring a community fridge onto campus.The fridge allows students to drop off fresh items they know they will not eat for other students to pick up.The aim is to reduce unnecessary waste and help feed hungry students.To learn more about the Green Champlain and the Bishop\u2019s University Environmental Club projects, please visit https://www.crc-lennox.qc.ca/the-col-

yesterday at 66 Sherbrooke Street.The result of 18 months of work, the new 21,000 square foot facility will serve as a base of operations for both fire and ambulance services in the downtown as well as the municipal civil security organization.The building cost $5.3 million to build, to which the Provincial and Federal governments contributed $900,000 of grant money.Residents are invited to come visit the new fire hall at an open house event this coming Sunday, October 28, from 10 a.m.to 3 p.m.PHOTO COURTESY CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 first official event on a new foundation in the spring.Pederson explained that the church, over 120 years old, never had a foundation.It had been sitting on rocks.\u201cIt\u2019s a miracle of pioneer engineering that it\u2019s still standing,\u201d he said.Each spring, community members would lift up the church on jacks and replace stones that had shifted or fallen out during the winter.\u201cFor over 100 years they did that,\u201d Pederson said.When the Bury Historical and Heritage Society purchased Christchurch Canterbury in 2015, Pederson said a crew was put together to get the building stabilized.While working, the crew thought, \u201cThis is not exactly the modern way of doing things.\u201d They also noticed that over time, the weight of the bell tower was causing it to sink into the ground.\u201cIf we\u2019re really going to save this building and preserve it as a historical site, we need to put it on a foundation,\u201d the historical society decided.According to Pederson, funds for the renovation were raised entirely by community supporters.\u201cThere\u2019s not a cent of government money,\u201d he said, adding that so far roughly $40,000 has been raised for the restoration campaign.\u201cWe\u2019ve received a tremendous amount of support,\u201d Pederson said, in financial support as well as community involvement.\u201cVolunteerism is at an all time low here in Eastern Townships communities.It\u2019s rewarding to see people participating,\u201d commented Pederson.\u201cIt all grew organically,\u201d he explained.The Bury Historical and Heritage Society is not usually in the business of buying and restoring churches, he said.The idea came about through a subtle hint from long time Christchurch Canterbury congregation member Sylvia Aulis.Also a member of the historical society, at a meeting Aulis mentioned that the church was about to close in 2015.\u201cIf you wanted to do something to help, now would be the time,\u201d Pederson recalled her saying.The historical society said getting involved would depend entirely on the level of commitment of the local community.They held a meeting, attended by 30 motivated locals and the Canterbury Committee was formed.Pederson said in the last three years, a guestbook set up in the church during activities and events demonstrates that around 1,000 people have visited the church.\u201cThat\u2019s in a community of around 50 people,\u201d he said.\u201cThe sky\u2019s the limit as far as we\u2019re concerned,\u201d Pederson commented, once the building is on solid ground.Pederson said the space is open to the community for events of all types, from potluck dinners to music concerts.He added that he would like to include activities and events that would encourage younger community members to get involved.While no longer a religious institution, Pederson said the Canterbury Committee intends to hold the occasional special church service to retain the spiritual aspect of the building.Christchurch Canterbury TONY DE MELO This page

Submitted by Jennifer Mackinnon Art class given by North Hatley native Trevor McKinven By Richard Moon Distinguished University Professor, University of Windsor The newly elected government of Québec has indicated that it intends to ban civil servants in positions of authority (including police officers and judges) from wearing religious dress or symbols such as the turban or hijab.The new government views the wearing of religious dress by civil servants not as an act of personal religious or cultural expression but instead as a political act \u2014 an act of the state \u2014 that is incompatible with the requirement that the state remain neutral in matters of religion.The ban will have the effect of excluding the members of certain religious minorities from civil service jobs.And it will, almost certainly, breach religious freedom under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.At the same time, the government has confirmed that a crucifix will continue to hang in the provincial legislature.The government insists that the crucifix is simply a \u201cheritage object\u201d and \u201cpart of our history\u201d and so its presence in the legislature doesn\u2019t violate the requirement that the state remain neutral in matters of religion.Even if this practice breaches religious freedom, the Canadian courts have held that the internal operations of the legislatures in the various provinces are not subject to judicial oversight.Several European countries have made similar arguments about the crucifix.The Italian government, for example, has justified the hanging of crucifixes in public school classrooms on the grounds that it\u2019s a symbol of the country\u2019s national identity, its Christian heritage and the civic values of its political community \u2014 values that are said to be traceable to Christian doctrine.Proponents argue it\u2019s cultural Proponents say that the crucifix in the legislature serves as a symbol not of Christianity but of a secular community that has been shaped by Christianity.When the province hangs a crucifix in the legislative chamber, it is not favouring or supporting Christianity as the true faith, it\u2019s simply recognizing the historic and conceptual link between Christian doctrine and the national identity and civic values of the community.Or so goes the argument.In truth, the civic values of modern liberal democracies like Québec have other, more obvious precursors.The Christian heritage argument conflates the plausible claim that certain elements of Christian doctrine made possible the separation of church and state in the West (secularism) with the more problematic claim that tolerance and democracy are Christian values that arose directly or significantly from Christianity \u2014 and so may be symbolized by the crucifix.This link between religion or religious heritage and politics may help to reinforce the core principles of a political community and its connection to its members.Christian rituals or values may serve as a civil religion that inspires and binds citizens, contributing to a richer or more substantial form of national identity than one that is based simply on a shared commitment to democratic principles.Not just a side effect At the same time, the link between Christian morality and national identity or political community serves to exclude the members of some groups.Indeed, it appears that the exclusion of non-Christians or those who don\u2019t identify with the Christian tradition is not simply a regrettable side effect of the attempt to bolster civic union and national identity.The debate about hanging a crucifix in the Québec legislature is in some ways similar to the debate in the United States over the posting of the Ten Commandments in public buildings.Supporters of the public display of the Ten Commandments argue that it\u2019s an important historical document that helped to shape contemporary Western law and society.The identity of the political community, even if now understood in secular terms, is tied to a religious history that ought to be acknowledged.There is something to this claim \u2014 that the political community has a history that its members should know about, if only to understand better their current circumstances.The problem with this attempt to link the Ten Commandments to the contemporary legal order is that the Commandments do not appear to have had either a unique or even significant role in shaping contemporary Western law.There seems little doubt that those hoping to post the Ten Commandments in public spaces want to affirm the Commandments\u2019 truth as God\u2019s law and to link the Christian or Judeo-Chris- tian tradition to the American national identity.They realize, though, that if they don\u2019t provide a secular reason for the posting, it will be found to breach the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S.Constitution.Nonetheless, the proponents regard the United States as a Christian nation and believe that its public institutions should reflect that, both symbolically and substantively.The U.S.Supreme Court recognized this as the motive behind the posting of the Ten Commandments when it ruled that the practice was unconstitutional.The motivation behind the keeping the crucifix in the Québec legislature, however, seems more complicated.Anxiety about national identity?Many of the contemporary supporters of the crucifix in the legislature may believe that it symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus and God\u2019s mercy and that these spiritual truths should be affirmed in the civic sphere.But it seems clear that support for the practice comes also from those who no longer formally adhere to Catholicism.The display of the crucifix appears to be a response to a general anxiety about national identity.For many Québecois, the crucifix may reaffirm the idea of a national culture in the context of a changing population and a perceived challenge to shared values.The recognition of a link between Christianity and the identity and civic values of the Québec community may serve to strengthen the civic bond and to create a sense of identity among many Québecois.But it seems sadly obvious that this link between Christianity and civic culture also serves to mark off as un-Québe- cois the members of some religious groups; to signal that they are not full or proper members of the civic community.The message is that other religious traditions, and most notably Islam, are incompatible with the province\u2019s civic/secular culture.The commitment to inclusion and religious neutrality becomes a basis for excluding the members of some religions.Richard Moon does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from

NHL Alumni Association executive director Glenn Healy said the comments made by Shanahan, who referenced that he and a number of star players with the Detroit Red Wings took less money to stay together during their championship years, needs to be put in proper context.\u201cI would say this: When Brendan played, there was no salary cap.So there was no taking less, you just took what you got, you took what the club budgeted,'' said Healy, who played goalie in the NHL for 15 seasons.\u201cIt's a different world now.And what advice would Healy give a player in Nylander's position today?\u201cI would never say, 'Take less than you're worth,''' he said.\u201cTake more than you're worth.\u201cSet the bar high.'' Sundin, who now lives back home in Sweden with his wife and three children, was in Toronto for the NHL Alumni Association's gala celebration where he was one of threes recipients of the Keith Mag- nuson Men of the Year Award along with countrymen Niklas Lidstrom and Borje Salming.Now 47, Sundin said he's been keeping a close eye on the Leafs, who started the season with big expectations after signing John Tavares in free agency.Matthews is tied for the NHL lead with 16 points (10 goals, six assists) as the team rocketed out of the gate with a 6-1-0 record before consecutive losses brought Toronto back to earth ahead of Wednesday's trip to Winnipeg to take on the Jets.\u201cIt's great as a former player and former captain for the fans and the city to have such a great, young team that are going to be great for a long time,'' Sundin said.\u201cI'm very excited to watch.'' Sundin scored 564 goals and added 785 assists for 1,349 points in 1,346 career games with the Leafs, Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks.He added 82 points (38 goals, 44 assists) in 91 playoff outings.Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012, Sundin played the first four of his 18 NHL seasons with the Nordiques and the second half of the 2008-09 campaign with the Canucks to finish out his career, but was best known for his time in Toronto.He holds the franchise record for goals (420) and points (987), and sits second behind only Salming in assists (620 to 567).Sundin and the Leafs made it to the Eastern Conference final in both 1999 and 2002, but never made it to the Stanley Cup.\u201cIf you're playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs and you're competing for a Stanley Cup, I wouldn't want to be in any other city having that chance,'' Sundin said.\u201cThe Toronto Maple Leafs is the team where you want to win.Just keep doing what they're doing.They're going to grow as a group and as players.\u201cThey're going to get lots of chances to compete for the Stanley Cup.''

animals.God said that he would name this animal and to show his love he would call it Dog.After a while an angel went to God and said that Adam was acting very proud and believed that he was worthy of adoration.God said that he would take care of that by sending another animal to keep him company so Cat arrived.Cat did not listen to Adam or show him any respect and would only love Adam on his own terms.Adam realized that when he looked into Cat's eyes he was not a supreme being Adam learned humility and greatly improved which pleased God .Dog was also happy while Cat didn't care one way or the other.Until next time, Submitted by Evelyn Beban Lewis, Publicity Peanut Gallery News from the Eastern Star ALLEY OOP ARLO & JANIS THE BORN LOSER FRANK AND ERNEST GRIZWELLS THATABABY REALITY CHECK
