Fair Page 3 Make America safe again Editorial - Page 6 Ahoy! from the Townships MATTHEW MCCULLY Donna Garfat and Kathleen Hartwell, two of the organizers of St.George\u2019s Anglican Church\u2019s annual trip to Quebec City to deliver \u2018sailor boxes.\u2019 Wrapped like Christmas gifts, the boxes, containing warm clothing, toiletries and small gifts are distributed to sailors passing through the port around Christmas.Fusiliers deputy commander re?ects on a rare opportunity By Gordon Lambie For three weeks in the month of August Major André Morin, the second in command of Les Fusiliers de Sherbrooke, was offered a rare and unusual opportunity.Based on his record and work with the local reserve regiment to date, Morin was selected as the only Canadian to attend the École supérieure des officiers de réserve spécialistes d'état-major (ESORSEM) in Paris, France, where he was trained in large scale military operations alongside 14 other representatives from nine allied countries.\u201cCanada has one spot in this course,\u201d Morin told The Record \u201cand I got nominated to be the Canadian candidate.\u201d The deputy commander of the reserve regiment explained that although Canada has its own version of the course that he took in France, this international exchange is seen as an opportunity to share best practices and develop better overall strategy.CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 By Matthew McCully Members of St.George\u2019s Anglican Church and other locals were up at the crack of dawn yesterday morning to board a bus headed for Quebec City and deliver \u2018sailor boxes\u2019.For close to 30 years, the congregation and other participating local churches have been donating shoe boxes filled with toiletries, mitts, hats, and other cold weather essentials to the organization La Maison du Marin.The boxes are distributed to sailors Locals head to Quebec City port bearing gifts CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 4 Whenever I\u2019m feeling old (AKA any given day), I like knowing that I can phone myself at the office, let it go to voicemail and hear the youthful tones of myself from 13 years ago telling strangers that I will most certainly phone them back as soon as possible, and then telling them all over again in French.I recorded that message in 2005 (when I was still in my glorious, barely creased thirties), and perhaps it was the lingering trauma of trying to get that one good take (see the aforementioned \u201cFrench\u201d) or simply laziness or perhaps a sort of auditory hoarding, but I have never summoned the wherewithal to update it.Even when my job title changed last year, I hung onto the message, now officially obsolete.But, honestly, was anyone who was looking for the director of communications really going to hang up because the message was instead from the communications coordinator, even a surprisingly youthful sounding one?If my title had changed from \u201ccommunications coordinator\u201d to \u201cvision navigator,\u201d then perhaps I\u2019d have cause.I will never be called a \u201cvision navigator.\u201d No one should be.But this week, our office phones are all being replaced, and my voicemail is the least of my concerns.The new phones are running not on good old Bell lines but over the internet.I don\u2019t know how that works either but I expect it won\u2019t be long before I\u2019m receiving phone calls from Single Women Looking For Love In Your Area.That also means our IT Department is involved.I love my IT people.They help me out all the time, and I feel IT and the Communications Department have a lot in common \u2014 people aren\u2019t quite sure what we do but they want us to do it right away.But it\u2019s IT.IT people see the world with greater complexity than you and me.It\u2019s like those lines of streaming code in The Matrix: to IT people, that\u2019s like reading the Sunday funnies.And then they laugh and pass it to you and say, \u201cGet it?\u201d Actually, no, they assume you get it, even though you don\u2019t even know what \u201cit\u201d is.So when IT\u2019s involved, I worry that it will be overwhelming.There have already been four emails from IT about the new phone, plus one earlier warning us the new phones were coming.Each email has instructions and/or a link to further instructions.There\u2019s also a sheet of instructions on my desk along with a thin blue strip of paper with instructions on how to call 911 that I\u2019m not sure what to do with.Maybe it\u2019s in the instructions.I have not got around to reading any of this yet, which really I can\u2019t blame IT for, but I\u2019ll try.I much prefer staring at the phone.Wondering about the phone.Imagining what kind of trouble I\u2019ll have with the phone.Whether I\u2019ll receive calls from Nigerian princes looking to move money out of the country on the phone.Worrying my voicemail will sound 13 years older on the phone and that will freak out the people who regularly leave me messages on the phone (AKA no one).It\u2019s an impressive phone, with a slew of buttons to ignore, far more than the buttons I ignored on the old phone.For example, there is a column of eight lights down the side.The top one is lit green, then three dark, three more lit, and one last dark one.If I light up all eight, do I get an extra life?Or does it mean I\u2019ve run out of Internet toner?Why are there directional arrows on my phone?Can I drive it around my desk?Is it also a drone?I want a drone! All the cool kids are droning.One of the buttons has a little book on it.Will my phone read to me?That\u2019s nice.I\u2019m sure the instructions, once I get around to reading them, are completely reasonable and easily comprehensible, even to someone who is 13 years older than he used to be.But still I have to ask myself: will I record a voicemail?Yes, of course I will.But will I really?Yes.Really?This is a smart phone (not a Smart- phone); it has a generic voicemail message that I\u2019m sure will get me through many, many weeks of procrastination.But I really will get around to recording it (really).And if I do get in a jam, I\u2019m sure IT will help me out.Unless they read this first.Ben by Daniel Shelton Weather TODAY: 60% CHANCE OF FLURRIES HIGH OF 6 LOW OF -5 FRIDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH OF 4 LOW OF 1 SATURDAY: RAIN OR SNOW HIGH OF 6 LOW OF -2 SUNDAY: CLOUDY HIGH OF 0 LOW OF -8 MONDAY: CLOUDY HIGH OF -1 LOW OF -7 Page 2 Thursday , November 8, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record 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.Fear of phones Ross Murray SPCIS Activity Report tabled Record Staff Sherbrooke Fire Chief Stéphane Si- moneau presented the city council with the report of activities of his department for the period of 2014 to 2017 on Monday night.He described the period as a \u201ctime of great change, optimization, reorganization, and continuous improvement.\" The report indicates that the number of annual interventions in Sherbrooke remains fairly stable from one year to the next, ranging from 5,300 to 5,600, or about 15 emergency interventions per day.On average each year, these mainly consist of fires (249), first responder services (2,434), false alarms (735), rescues (48) and accidents (695).\"Our response time and our firepower (12 firefighters in 10 minutes) is very satisfying and fully meets the standards of the Department of Public Safety,\" Si- moneau said.In terms of fire prevention, the SPCIS completed more than 7,500 residential visits annually between 2014 and 2017 and achieved its goal of 500 building inspections, three out of four years.Major achievements \"Over the last four years, major improvements have been made to our facilities.These include the establishment of a permanent municipal coordination center for emergency measures, the establishment of three new disaster relief centers, the construction of the Robert- Davidson station at the Plateau Saint- Joseph, and the Jacques-Denault station on Bourque Boulevard in addition to the refurbishment and expansion of the Charles-Audet Barracks on Claire-Joli- coeur Street and the installation of a fire station in the former borough of Bromp- ton,\u201d explained Danielle Berthold, municipal councillor and chair of the public safety committee.\"With the construction and commissioning of the new Lennoxville fire hall in 2019, millions of dollars have been invested in ensuring the safety of the entire Sherbrooke population,\" concluded Berthold.The SPCIS activity report can be consulted on sherbrooke.ca. By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record Eight young Townshippers headed to Toronto this week for the 96th edition of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair to compete in the TD 4-H Canadian Dairy Classic.Wyatt Johnston, Alana Mckinven, Martha Mackinnon, Tyler Clark, Mathilde Audet, William Jaton, and Savannah and Kolton Crack were the eight 4-H members chosen to represent the South East Quebec team.For more than 100 years, 4-H Canada was been one of the most respected youth development organizations in the country, with more than 25,000 Canadian members.Johnston, Mckinven, Mackinnon, and Clark are all members of the Hatley 4-H group, while the Cracks are Richmond members.Audet and Jaton are members of the Association des Jeunes Ruraux du Québec (AJRQ), a 4-H affiliate.\u201cIt\u2019s always a great experience,\u201d said Mckinven.\u201cYou always meet new people, and it\u2019s a great reunion with contestants from the previous years.\u201d The Royal Fair is the culmination of months of work, as all eight participants competed over the entire summer to attain the required standings to be chosen.The South East Quebec group was particularly successful in the conformation competition: Mckinven placed 5th out of 130 in the Holstein Senior Heifer category, Audet reached 9th place in the Holstein Junior Heifer category, Savannah Crack obtained the 8th place in the Holstein Intermediate Calf category, and Johnston placed 10th in the Ayrshire Senior Heifer category.They also received recognition in the showmanship competition, as Kolton Crack clinched the 3rd place within the Juniors, while Mckinven secured the 9th place in the Seniors.\u201cWe have really been working towards this all summer,\u201d explained Mckinven.\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to be here, because it\u2019s the biggest youth agricultural show in Eastern Canada.\u201d Johnston added that they \u201cdid very well as a team.Over 50 regions are represented here.\u201d He added that their group of dairy cows came out second out of the lot.4-H is a youth organization which focuses on hands-on learning experiences and empowerment.They carry out several activities throughout the year and teach its members the ins and outs of livestock showmanship.It is particularly popular among rural residents in the Eastern Townships.In fact, out of the province\u2019s 12 clubs, four are located

Townships in Toronto\u2019s Royal Fair CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 \u201cFor me it was about learning how the French plan their operations,\u201d Morin said.He shared that the focus of the course is what is referred to in Canada as \u201cbrigade level operations,\u201d and focuses on how to plan battle strategy with as many as 2,000 personnel and equipment on land, sea, and air.\u201cThe course went kind of well for me,\u201d Morin said, speaking with humility given the fact that he got the highest possible grade in the program.Reflecting on the benefits of the opportunity he was given, Morin said that being in the reserves can sometimes give one a fairly narrow perspective of strategy and military organization.By bringing together people from so many different countries and backgrounds, he said that the course offers a chance to see the bigger picture and explore new possibilities.\u201cIt really gave me new insight into how to upgrade what we are doing,\u201d he said.Aside from the subject of the course, Morin added that its location was awe inspiring.\u201cThe Ecole Militaire was a place where Napoleon Bonaparte actually went,\u201d the Major said, noting that the building is in the shadow of the Eiffel tower.\u201cIt is amazing to get to be a part of that history; just being there was a privilege.\u201d FRENCH ARMY\u2019S PUBLIC AFFAIR STAFF (\u201cSIRPA\u201d).Major

Kathleen Hartwell, close to 200 boxes were collected this year to deliver to La Maison du Marin, along with additional donations of warm clothing.They were assembled and donated by the Anglican churches of Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Coaticook, Bury, Richmond and St.George\u2019s in Lennoxville.The boxes are wrapped like Christmas gifts.\u201cApparently it\u2019s a real hoot when they open them in Quebec City,\u201d Hartwell said.The sailors that pass through the Quebec City port come from all over the world.Some have been away at sea for long stretches of time, and many are not equipped with clothing for a Canadian winter.La Maison du Marin provides a list of suggestions of things to include in the boxes like gloves, hats, socks; any other comforts people could think of (chocolate, playing cards, toiletries) are also welcome.\u201cWe\u2019ve been going to Quebec City since the early 1990s,\u201d Hartwell said.\u201cWe make a day of it.\u201d In total, 56 Townshippers took the trip yesterday to deliver the boxes.They boarded a bus in front of St.Georges in Lennoxville at around 6:30 a.m.and continued on to Richmond to pick up other passengers on the way to the port.Upon arrival, Hartwell said they are usually greeted in Quebec City with coffee and donuts.After a brief tour of La Maison du Marin, they drop off the sailor boxes and clothing donations, and then head into the city for some shopping, sight seeing and lunch.By 3:15 p.m.Hartwell said the group then hits the road again.They make their way to Inverness for dinner.\u201cThe Ladies Auxiliary will serve us the most delightful supper,\u201d Hartwell said.They also have jams, jellies and other preserves available for sale, she added.The bus rolls back into town around 8:15 p.m.\u201cWe only hit snow once,\u201d commented Hartwell.Some people in the group have been taking the trip every year since St.George\u2019s started the tradition.\u201cIt\u2019s a delightful day that everyone seems to enjoy,\u201d she said.Page 4 Thursday , November 8, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record T YPIC AL DONOR Any person, regardless of age or financial value, wishing to donate to the CHUS

ADS Craft Show will hold its 20th edition, this weekend November 10th and 11th.The ADS (Asbestos-Danville- Shipton Elementary School) craft show was started in 1998 by Valerie Bushey whose children attended ADS and was taken over by the school\u2019s PPO in 2015.There were a few years in between where it was organized by staff members at the school.Over the past 20 years, the craft show has raised approximately $80,000 for the school community.The funds have been used for student activities such as school trips to Mont Ham, Coat- icook Gorge, picking apples and a visit to the pumpkin patch, as well as in- school activities such as Halloween events, movie day and other little extras not covered by the school.An Amount of $22,000 was also used to help pay for the new playground installations.Over the years the funds have also been used to help to keep the cafeteria open, deficit free, so that ADS students can continue to have access to healthy hot lunches at a low cost.All proceeds, except for advertising costs are all returned to the school for the students.This event would not be possible without the help and donations from the parents and staff, as well as the dedication of the volunteers who make it happen.Be sure to stop by between 10 a.m.and 4 p.m.to start your holiday shopping early.As well you can enjoy a delicious brunch on Sunday served between 10

Stanstead College and Cab Rediker teamed up on Halloween night for a local canned food drive.Local youth travelled the streets of Stanstead (Stanstead, Rock Island and Beebe) on Halloween night collecting non-perishable items from 6 - 8 p.m, despite the rainy, cold weather.The nonperishable items collected were donated to support Cab Rediker\u2019s food programs.After completing their homework at the Phelps en français session, six local high school students hit the streets around the Rock Island area.They were joined by ten Stanstead College students who covered Dufferin street and the surrounding area, and a group from Border Hockey tackled Beebe.While firefighters patrolled the streets, the youth were able to hand off their heavy bags of contributions.In addition, five parent volunteers drove groups of children to different sectors in the community.We want to send a sincere thank you to the drivers, more than 20 local youth, firefighters and all community members who donated this year, for trading in the traditional trick-or-treating to give back to the community.Phelps was founded in 2012 and has grown organically from a single high school tutoring program to nine unique programs, providing the Stanstead area with free educational and career support.For more information or to volunteer, please email us at info@phelpshelps.ca, visit our website

or family who can give her the exercise and mental stimulation she needs to thrive.She is smart and motivated so in a home where her needs are met, she will be a great addition.She is excellent on the leash so if you are looking for a jogging partner, Lyli will gladly help you set a good pace.Currently in foster with our trainer, Lyli has a lot of opportunity to run and play and there is little doubt that a tired Lyli is a happy Lyli.For the most part Lyli does well with other dogs and enjoys the interaction but she does have some food guarding issues (only with other dogs not people) so it is best that she be the only dog in the home.Lyli is very loving and she is happiest when she has people around to keep her company.A home where she is left alone for long periods on a regular basis won\u2019t work for this social girl.We believe Lyli to be an American Bulldog Boston Terrier mix so she is not very big (she weighs approximately 45 pounds).She is 2.5 years old.If you can provide Lyli with the home she needs, we\u2019d love to hear from you.To find out more, please send an email to frontieranimalsociety@gmail.com or better yet give our adoption coordinator Brenda a call at

neurocognitive disorders has improved significantly in recent years.Many challenges remain in dealing with psychiatric problems that often coexist with Alzheimer's and related diseases such as anxiety disorders, depression, and serious and persistent problems such as schizophrenia.The question of how to face these growing concerns will be at the heart of discussions during the fourth Quebec Congress on Alzheimer's disease and Related Diseases, to be held from November 7 to 9 in Laval.\"More than 500 geriatric clinicians and researchers in Quebec have confirmed their participation in the congress,\" said Dr.Guy Lacombe, internist-geriatrician at the CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie - CHUS and member of the organizing committee, \u201cto share the latest information to improve care for people with the disease and to better support their loved ones.Dr.Lacombe, who is also a professor- researcher at the Université de Sherbrooke and the Center for Research on Aging, will be receiving the Irma M.Parhad Award of Excellence from the Consortium of Canadian Centers for Cognitive Research at the congress.This award recognizes his outstanding contributions to the understanding and treatment of patients with cognitive impairment.Office of the President Executive Order #3,179 Re: Self Defense The President today authorized the following measures to combat a rise in incidents of multiple shootings.It is his firm belief that the only way to ensure that attacks by terrorists, psychotics and other assorted wing nuts is to encourage the general public to defend themselves in the time-honoured American way, that is by taking up arms.Sad.Therefore he immediately authorizes the following: 1.All public schools will offer mandatory small arms training to students and teachers alike.Those under the age of 12 will be restricted to .22 calibre hand guns while training for older students and teachers will include the use of the AK47 and the M1 carbine.Previous restrictions on the carrying of combat knives will also be rescinded.2.From this date forward all places of worship including churches, synagogues, Quaker meeting houses, Buddhist temples, Mennonite gathering places, Hindu temples, and Hari Krishna assembly spots, but excluding Mosques, will be required to post armed guards at all entrances.They will also be required to have small arms available inside all venues of worship preferably in a handy spot like the rack that holds the hymn books.The size of the firearms will be up to individual congregations but the use of bazookas or anything larger than a 150 calibre machine gun is discouraged.3.All those providing Yoga classes will require participants to carry a hand gun.It is recommended that these be of a smaller caliber able to be concealed inside lycra stretch pants or worn in a discreet and fashionable shoulder holster that will not interfere when completing the downward facing dog.Exercisers are cautioned not to lay the weapon on top of their towel or mat since this could cause accidents when doing the lion or eagle pose.4.All cashiers in fast food restaurants, particularly those open on a 24 hour basis, will be required to have a hand gun, sawed off shotgun or a similar weapon on hand easily accessible from the cash register area.It will also henceforth be illegal to substitute the hand gun with the more popular black jack, baseball bat or iron bar.5.Those owning night clubs, bars, discos, or any concert venue, including arenas, outdoor theatres and public parks where concerts are to be held can no longer require patrons to check legally acquired weapons at the door.Bouncers can, however, require that these weapons be in full view at all times and that the owners be restricted to no more than ten drinks during the evening.6.All owners of companies with five or more employees, excluding family members, must offer a small arms training course.Owners will also be allowed to insist that all employees carry a side arm of their choice and to sign an affidavit that they will in fact use said weapon if push comes to shove.They will also be allowed to ensure that employees sign an affidavit absolving the employer from any responsibility for the accidental death of a customer who was only reaching for his wallet when shot.7.As an added precaution any person employed in a high risk occupation such as teacher, yoga instructor, bank teller, Burger King cashier, swim coach, rabbi, school crossing guard, real estate agent or used car salesman can demand his employer provide him or her with a suitable bullet proof vest, preferably one made of Kevlar.These are readily available at stores throughout the country or online at outlets such as Ivankavests.com.Signed on this the 7th of November, 2018 Donald

Montreal Alouettes were selected.Divisional All-Stars were chosen by Football Reporters of Canada (FRC) members as well as CFL head coaches.Defensive end: John Bowman (8th selection in the East) East Division All-Star: 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 This marks the eighth East Division all-star nomination for the Brooklyn, NY native.In his 13th season with the Alouettes, the

2H0 GUILLAUME MADORE DENTUROLOGIST ON-SITE LABORATORY Manufacture and repair of dental prostheses: complete, partials and implants One women's league on the minds of Canadian, U.S.players at Four Nations Cup By Donna Spencer THE CANADIAN PRESS Prominent members of the U.S.women's hockey team moving to Canada to play strengthens speculation that a merger of the top two women's leagues into one is nigh.Hilary Knight, Brianna Decker and Kacey Bellamy say their decisions to play in the Canadian Women's Hockey League this season were personal, not collective.But they're also not adverse to their relocations strengthening the winds of change blowing through women's hockey.Both interim CWHL commissioner Jayna Hefford and NWHL commissioner Dani Rylan indicated this year a merger is desirable.Knight now plays for the Les Canadiennes de Montreal.Decker, Bellamy and goaltender Alex Rigsby joined the Calgary Inferno this season.All four were members of the team that beat Canada in a shootout for Olympic gold in February.When defender Megan Bozek was released from the U.S.Olympic squad midway through last winter, she joined the Markham Thunder and remained with the team this season.The five women previously played in the NWHL when it began in 2015.\u201cIt's all of our goals to form this one league because we have so many talented players in both leagues,'' Bellamy said in Saskatoon at the Four Nations Cup tournament.\u201cHonestly, I just think for us going to Calgary, Hilary went to Montreal and Megan went to Markham, it's the situations we wanted to be in.'' So high-profile players from Canada and the U.S., who battled each other tooth and nail for Olympic gold in Pyeongchang, South Korea a few months ago, are adjusting to each other as teammates.Knight in Montreal gives Les Canadiennes arguably two of the best players in the world with Canadian captain Marie- Philip Poulin also on the roster.\u201cYou have the chance to play against each other at the highest international level and now we have the chance to play a whole season together,'' Poulin said.\u201cWe can make each other better.We can push each other to the next level.\u201cObviously there's mutual respect there in how much we want to grow women's hockey and that's how it all starts, playing all together in the same league.'' Canadian forwards Rebecca Johnston and Brianne Jenner now have Decker, Bellamy and Rigsby in the Inferno dressing room with them.\u201cI've played against those players for a long time so it's kind of nice to be on the other side and get to know them as people,'' Jenner said.\u201cWhen you're on the ice against them, you forget they're people.\u201cI think we all want the best players playing in one league.How that looks is still to be seen.When you're competitive, you want to play with and against the best.'' The six-team CWHL is in its 12th season.The NWHL has five U.S.-based teams.The pay in both the CWHL and NWHL remains nominal compared to men's pro leagues, so choosing club colours can come down to personal preference.Edmonton's Shannon Szabados became the first player from the Canadian women's team in the NWHL when the goaltender signed with the Buffalo Beauts this season.She moved to the Ohio hometown of her partner Carl Nielsen and Buffalo is within commuting distance.Knight, Decker and Bellamy said getting to play two games a weekend instead of one, and simply a change of scenery in the first season of the Olympic quadrennial, were factors in switching from the NWHL to the CWHL.\u201cWe want one league.I don't think our decision ended up being that reason,'' Decker said.\u201cThat's our goal though.We want one supported league.That's how we're going to be able to sustain having fans.'' Knight indicated there was another layer to her decision, however.\u201cWhen you're thinking about the future of the game, I think the CWHL has guarded it the best in terms of a player standpoint,'' she said.The U.S.women threatening to boycott the 2017 world championship in Michigan and wresting increased financial and competitive benefits from USA Hockey was a lesson in collective bargaining for the women's hockey community.\u201cWhat we've gotten out of that is the empowerment in ourselves and the power we hold as players collectively to build the future of women's hockey at the pro level,'' Knight said.\u201cI think there's a lot of changes to come.I wouldn't be surprised in a year or two if things are different.'' Canada White ?nishes round robin undefeated, faces Finland in quarters The Canadian Press Connor McClennon had a pair of goals as Canada White downed the Czech Republic 5-1 on Tuesday to finish undefeated in the preliminary round of the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.Tristan Lennox made 24 saves for the win while Dylan Robinson, Charlie DesRoches and Jeremy Poirier rounded out the Canada White offence with a goal apiece.Jan Cikhart broke Lennox's shutout bid late in the third with a power-play goal for the Czechs.Jan Bednar gave up four goals on 10 shots for the loss.Canada White won all three of its round-robin games and will play Finland in Thursday's quarterfinals.The Czechs will face Russia, The United States plays Canada Red and Sweden is up against Canada Black in Thursday's other quarterfinal matchups.McClennon leads all skaters at the tournament with six goals and nine points.Earlier Tuesday, Ryan O'Rourke scored the go-ahead goal with less than two minutes to play as Canada Black edged the Americans 5-4.And in Quispamsis, N.B., Dylan Garand scored in overtime to lift Canada Red over Finland 4-3, while Russia beat Sweden 3-0 to wrap up round-robin play.Bowman,

This elegant nut tart is surprisingly easy to prepare, thanks to the very simple filling.For the filling, we used a pecan pie base but swapped in walnuts, reduced the amount of sugar, and added a hefty amount of vanilla as well as a hit of bourbon (or rum).The liquor cuts through the sweetness and intensifies the flavour of the nuts.We found that it\u2019s important to add the filling to a warm pie crust as this helps keep the crust from getting soggy.Pecans can be substituted for the walnuts if desired.RUSTIC WALNUT TART Servings: 8 Start to finish: 2 hours, 25 minutes (Active time: 25 minutes) 1 recipe Classic Tart Dough (recipe follows) 1/2 cup packed (3 1/2 ounces) light brown sugar 1/3 cup light corn syrup 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1 tablespoon bourbon or dark rum 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 1 3/4 cups walnuts, chopped coarse Roll dough into 11-inch circle on lightly floured counter.Loosely roll dough around rolling pin and gently unroll it onto 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom, letting excess dough hang over edge.Lift dough and gently press it into corners and fluted sides of pan.Run rolling pin over top of pan to remove any excess dough.Wrap loosely in plastic, place on large plate, and freeze until dough is fully chilled and firm, about 30 minutes.Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 F.Line chilled crust with double layer of aluminum foil, covering edges to prevent burning, and fill with pie weights.Bake until tart shell is golden and set, about 30 minutes.Carefully remove weights and foil and continue to bake until tart shell is fully baked and golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.Meanwhile, whisk sugar, corn syrup, butter, bourbon, vanilla, and salt together in large bowl until sugar dissolves.Whisk in egg until combined.Pour filling into warm tart shell and sprinkle with walnuts, pressing them into the filling.Bake until filling is set and walnuts begin to brown, 30 to 40 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking.Let tart cool on sheet to room temperature, about 2 hours.To serve, remove outer metal ring of tart pan, slide thin metal spatula between tart and tart pan bottom, and carefully slide tart onto serving platter or cutting board.Serve with whipped cream, if using.Classic Tart Dough: While regular pie crust is tender and flaky, classic tart crust should be fine textured, buttery rich, crisp, and crumbly - it is often described as being shortbread-like.We set out to achieve the perfect tart dough, one that we could use in a number of tart recipes.We found that using a stick of butter made tart dough that tasted great and was easy to handle, yet still had a delicate crumb.Instead of using the hard-to- find superfine sugar and pastry flour that many other recipes call for, we used confectioners\u2019 sugar and all-purpose flour to achieve a crisp texture.Rolling the dough and fitting it into the tart pan was easy, and we had ample dough to patch any holes.Makes enough for one 9-inch tart Start to finish: 1 hour 25 minutes (Active time: 15 minutes) 1 large egg yolk 1 tablespoon heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups (6 1/4 ounces) all-pur- pose flour 2/3 cup (2 2/3 ounces) confectioners\u2019 sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and chilled Whisk egg yolk, cream, and vanilla together in bowl.Process flour, sugar, and salt together in food processor until combined, about 5 seconds.Scatter butter over top and pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, about 15 pulses.With machine running, add egg mixture and continue to process until dough just comes together around processor blade, about 12 seconds.Turn dough onto sheet of plastic wrap and flatten into 6-inch disk.Wrap tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour.Before rolling dough out, let it sit on counter to soften slightly, about 10 minutes.Nutrition information per serving: 554 calories; 321 calories

surprisingly easy to prepare THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2018 Dear Annie: I started to gradually notice changes in my friendship with \u201cMarla\u201d while I was having marital trouble.During this time, I had a lot of support from close friends and family.Because Marla and I were extremely close, I was disappointed she wasn\u2019t there for me.Marla started to decline invitations to go to lunch and would not answer my calls.Yet when my good friend from out of town came to visit, Marla suddenly had an urgent issue that had to be dealt with immediately.She was well aware of my friend\u2019s visit because I had invited Marla to join us for dinner that evening.Marla was blowing up my phone with texts, even after I explained that I was spending time with my old friend.After my friend left, I reached out to Marla and offered to meet for coffee or to talk, expressing that I valued our friendship and telling her how important she was to me.I got no immediate response, but a few days later, I got a \u201cI\u2019m sorry; I\u2019m busy\u201d text.I texted back and repeated that our friendship was important to me and that I wanted to have time to talk with her.No response.Marla has often been passive-aggressive toward me and also publicly revealed things I said to her in confidence.About two years ago, we went to my vacation house for a weekend.I found out she had told a mutual friend that she felt \u201cobligated\u201d to go.I started to distance myself then.I guess she finally noticed recently or decided to pay attention.She has been texting me, asking, \u201cWhat is going on?\u201d We decided to meet for lunch, but none of this came up in conversation, and she just acted as if everything is peachy.In addition to all this, there have been other incidents in which she has tried to involve other people and manipulate them or try to get information from them about me.She says she will accept our friendship the way it is.I have invested a lot of time in this friendship, but at this point in my life, there are too many games.I want to be surrounded by people who are positive influences on me and value me.The trouble is that we have mutual friends and socialize in the same circle.\u2014 Longtime Friend or Foe Dear Friend or Foe: Though you have tried to talk things out with Marla several times, it doesn\u2019t sound as if there\u2019s been a real conversation yet.You could give that one more try, directly addressing the problems that have come between you.But should she keep playing games, there would be no need for you to play along.You could continue to go to mutual friends\u2019 functions and be cordial toward her, but it would be better to keep your distance emotionally.And keep in mind that just because you\u2019ve invested a lot of time in this fraught friendship does not mean you should invest more.No amount of time spent in a bad situation in the past is reason to stay in it in the future.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear

For this first drive of the Veloster N, the manufacturer planned an itinerary that took us on public roads, on an autocross run and even on the track for some driving at higher speed.A sporty machine like the Veloster N needs to perform well on the track, but it also has to acquit itself well on the road, in daily-driving situations.To that end, it\u2019s no surprise to find aboard the car a system that adjusts its driving dynamics, via two large powder-blue buttons on the steering wheel.They not only sharpen the pow- ertrain\u2019s responsiveness and make the steering heavier, they make it possible to adapt the suspension to the road surface.As is usual with this type of functionality, Eco and Normal are the modes you want to ensure a restful ride, while Sport mode adds some rock n roll to the Veloster\u2019s drive.The N mode takes the performance of the model to another level, for starters with a suspension that\u2019s much firmer \u2013 so much so in fact that it\u2019s downright unpleasant to drive on a heavily pockmarked road! The genius move on Hyundai\u2019s part is to include a Custom mode, wherein the driver can adjust each parameter to their liking.Which means you get to enjoy a very sporty configuration without getting all bumped and bruised by a rock-hard suspension.Also worth noting is a little steering- wheel button with \u201cRev\u201d on it.It\u2019s designed to allow the driver to imitate the old heel-and-toe manoeuvre without having to do it with their right foot.Only one model for Canada Unlike our neighbours to the south, who have the option of adding a performance package, Canadian buyers get that package by default.It includes 19-inch alloy wheels, Pirelli tires designed exclusively for the Veloster N, a limited-slip differential with electronic vector control, larger brakes and last but not least, a 2.0L 4- cylinder turbo engine delivering 275 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque (the base- model American version generates up to 250 hp).Hyundai Canada is limiting the available colours to a choice of three for the first year on the market: Performance Blue, Chalk White and Phantom Black.At the wheel So much for the technical stuff.Now it\u2019s on to what really matters, which is how it feels to drive a performance-ori- ented car like the Veloster N.  Well, Hyundai\u2019s new entrant in the sports car segment feels pretty darn good.As soon as you engage the clutch pedal, you get pretty quickly that this is not a hard sports car to drive and enjoy.The clutch is light \u2013 maybe even a bit too light for my taste \u2013 while the manual gearbox is easy to manage even it isn\u2019t super precise, and the steering is light and responsive.The latter, as mentioned, gains considerably in responsiveness and heaviness as you play with the drive settings.The engine, meanwhile, sounds like no other currently on the market \u2013 and that\u2019s great! The active exhaust system expresses itself loudly and proudly when you step off the line, and it gains in decibels when you choose the N mode.The automaker\u2019s engineers did cheat a little by adding to the concert of sounds coming through the audio system\u2019s speakers, but it\u2019s done with the noble goal of adding more adrenaline to the driving experience.On the road, I found the car to be extremely nimble as it literally stuck to the asphalt when cornering at speed.The absence of all-wheel drive in no way hinders the Veloster N, and the weak torque effect felt on occasion is not unpleasant, in fact it even delivers a welcome dose of honest information on the state of the road surface.I also took part in the autocross part of the itinerary.The small size of the Veloster, along with its light steering and useful Custom mode, meant that the car was able to acquit itself surprisingly well on the course used for the occasion.Moderation was in order, of course, due to the narrow width of the track we drove on.That left the racetrack, where it\u2019s possible to really push the Veloster N and see what it can do.The Thunderhill Raceway circuit in northern California offers up some challenges that required a small bit of adjusting on our part; a few blind corners and changes in elevation were complicated to get through.But overall, the Veloster N stayed remarkable neutral on its Raceway run.The Veloster soldiered on for several laps, and I was frankly amazed at the grip the factory-installed tries were able to maintain.The braking, for its part, did start to show signs of fatigue as the exercise progressed.Overall, though, the car performed admirably on the day.Slight disappointment inside, but\u2026 To get to the needed affordable price point \u2013 in this case, that was deemed to be $34,999 \u2013 Hyundai had to make some concessions.And it\u2019s evidently in the cabin that some of those concessions were made.The abundance of hard plastic on the dashboard and on the doors points back to the modest beginnings of the model, while the upholstery on the seating is of middling quality.I found that the bucket seats didn\u2019t supply enough support for those who might venture onto the track with their Veloster N.It\u2019s often the case with compact sports cars that the asking price is mainly due to what propels the thing, and not to a refined or high-quality interior, and this makes a lot of sense.In any case, more-supportive sport seats are out there if you really want them, and the quality and quantity of plastic in the cabin has exactly zero influence on the driving capabilities of the car.The last word Hyundai, it\u2019s clear, did its homework when creating its first Veloster N edition.Typically for the manufacturer, the sticker price is competitive in the segment, and its performance capabilities are undeniable.There are certainly cars more specifically suited to on-track driving, but the Veloster N is no slouch in that environment.In any case, on the road, the car functions very well, and that\u2019s what really matters.Something tells me that fans of sporty everyday driving will jump on this little Corner Rascal.Here\u2019s hoping Hyundai Canada changes its current plan to bring in only 200 units per year of the Veloster N for this market.2019 HYUNDAI VELOSTER N Hyundai\u2019s Corner Rascal is built to perform PHOTO: V.AUBE 1205 Wellington St.S.569-5959 563-0036 Have a problem?Talk to Fernand!
