end of World War One, the Remembrance Day ceremony in Lennoxville also unveiled a new plaque added to the cenotaph, honouring soldiers who fought and died in the war in Afghanistan.The plaque was unveiled by retired Canadian military surgeon Marc Dauphin, originally from Montreal, who now lives in Coaticook.In 2007, Dauphin served on a one- year mission in Germany at a transit point, treating American and Canadian soldiers injured in Afghanistan.He was then sent to Afghanistan and placed in charge of the Role 3 Multinational Hospital in Kandahar.See more pictures inside on page 2.MATTHEW MCCULLY BCS to pay to reroute Moulton Hill Road By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record Bishop\u2019s College School (BCS) held an information session for residents on Thursday, Nov.8 at the Peter G.Holt Library to discuss a redesign of its campus, which would include closing off the section of Moulton Hill Road in front of the College.The project would require building a new road (paid for by BCS) off Saint-Fran- cis Street.According to BCS Head of School Tyler Lewis, Moulton Hill Road is one of the most dangerous sections in the borough and the one where the most fines are handed out.\u201cIt would be irresponsible to ignore it,\u201d he declared to the roughly 60 residents who attended the session.Lewis would like to restrict Moulton Hill to local traffic only between the Saint-Fran- cis bridge and Atto Street.The road would be blocked off at its center so that the bridge could only be accessible via Saint-Francis Street.Several citizens were worried by the plan because of how narrow Saint-Fran- cis is.They also added that they have been asking for safer pedestrian access on the street for years.According to Borough of Lennoxville President Claude Charron, sidewalks are very expensive, but the council is looking into it.Local resident Robert Lumley, who lives in the area and uses Moulton Hill Road daily, believes there would be a minimal effect on the residents coming down Moulton Hill.\u201cBCS is trying to respect the community while protecting its students and planning ahead,\u201d he said.Another resident, Caroline Sabljic, estimated that closing a portion of Moulton Hill would CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 Ben by Daniel Shelton Weather TODAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS HIGH OF 1 LOW OF -8 TUESDAY: SNOW OR RAIN HIGH OF 2 LOW OF -12 WEDNESDAY: SUNNY

YOUNG Ayer\u2019s Cliff MATTHEW MCCULLY Sherbrooke MATTHEW MCCULLY Lennoxville Local Remembrance Day ceremonies By Matthew McCully The sixth edition of the Empty Bowls event, which raises funds for local organizations, had a packed house at the Hope Community Church during lunchtime on Saturday.Lucy Doheny, the local potter who helps coordinate the fundraiser, agreed that the event has gotten bigger every year since it started.An initiative of Champlain College Lennoxville and Bishop's University, the funds raised from the event are divided between the Lennoxville Elementary School breakfast program, the Lennoxville and District Women's Centre food bank, the Cornerstone food bank, and the BU/Champlain pastoral fund.For those unfamiliar with the event, attendees paid $25 for a meal comprised of a selection of soups prepared by local chef Bill Lidstone, served in handmade bowls fired by Doheny, and then customers got to bring the bowls home with them afterwards.This year, Doheny said she prepared 285 bowls for the event.Just 30 minutes after opening the doors to the basement of Hope Community Church, the tables were packed with supporters and Do- heny said she was down to her last 100 bowls.Monday, November 12, 2018 Page 3 The open house, which the Sherbrooke mosque holds each spring and fall, is an opportunity for people to \u2018go to the source\u2019, Djouaher said LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Mosquée a'Rahman opens its doors By Matthew McCully Members of the public were invited to visit the Mosquée a'Rah- man mosque in Sherbrooke on Saturday afternoon as part of \u2018Visit My Mosque Day,\u2019 a cross-Canada initiative to engage and interact with local Muslim communities with the intention of overcoming racism, Islamophobia, and discrimination.\u201cIt\u2019s a symbol that we are open,\u201d explained Majdid Djouaher, Vice-Presi- dent of the Association Culturelle Islamique de l\u2019Estrie.The open house, which the Sherbrooke mosque holds each spring and fall, is an opportunity for people to \u2018go to the source\u2019, Djouaher said, where they can meet with members of the Muslim community and learn first hand about the culture.\u201cAfter that, form an opinion,\u201d he said.\u2018Visit My Mosque Day\u2019, in the national context, was organized by the Canadian-Muslim Vote, a non-profit, non-partisan organization increasing democratic engagement within the Muslim community.Sherbrooke\u2019s implication coincided with the Semaine sherbrookoise des rencontres interculturelles, and was more about cultural exchange, Djoua- her said.A video was on display, showing the various activities that take place at the mosque.There was also a display of reading material religious symbols that are part of the Muslim faith for people to look at and learn about.Djouaher added that in the afternoon a demonstration of Muslim burial traditions was scheduled, and representatives of other faiths would be present to discuss the similarities and differences.Empty Bowls over?owing with generosity CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 bring a lot of expenses and would be inconvenient to residents during the construction.\u201cThere would be a huge loss of greenspace, with the river and the bogs, affecting wildlife.Although BCS is paying for it, there will be a lot of hidden costs, with snow removal and hydro lines,\u201d she noted.She added that the project would only divert the problem.\u201cIt will only make Saint-Francis and the Atto area busier.The traffic is already backed up and there should not be traffic in a residential area with small children and young families.\u201d Lewis ensured that the project would be supervised by Nature Cantons-de-l\u2019Est, an organization dedicated to nature conversation.Engineers present at the session explained that the project would be approved by the Ministry of the Environment before the new development took place.A resident who frequents the campus regularly also noted that \u201cstudents use both sides of the road to get to the fields and go into town.The road is often used by cars and trucks which puts the students at risk since they do not have access to sidewalks.I agree with the initiative because it will protect students from potential risks.\u201d The citizen added that police presence is not strong enough to truly enforce the speed limit, and hoped that talks of changes would at least give exposure to the dangers of the area.Speeding has long been an issue on Moulton Hill Road, which is narrow and long, just like Saint- Francis Street.It is a 30 km/h zone from the train tracks to the stop sign in front of the bridge, covering the entire BCS campus area.However, the speed limits change drastically on the way down the hill, from 70 to 50 to 30.Additional signage was installed in 2016 to help reduce speeding in the area but no significant improvement has been noted.Moulton Hill Road MATTHEW MCCULLY Page 4 Monday ,

Magog\u2019s City Council adopted a notice of motion on Monday for a $21.6 million borrowing by-law to complete the Downtown Revitalization Project.The City will borrow $14.1 million, part of which is eligible for a grant from the Government of Quebec, in order to help fund the plan to beautify and bring life back into the city\u2019s downtown core.The remaining funding will be drawn from the downtown surplus and various other surpluses, funds and reserves.\"We chose to do this for a number of reasons.The main thing is that we want to make sure we have all the money needed to start the project as planned, starting next spring,\" said acting mayor Nathalie Bélanger, explaining the decision to go forward with a by-law rather than using the city\u2019s own funds.The acting mayor insisted that, \"the amount of $21.6 million represents the maximum amount the City can allocate to this project\".She added that \"the current municipal council has followed this project closely and has analyzed all facets.Elected officials have the information necessary to award the contract to the contractor who will respect the clauses of this particularly complex tender.\" Once the by-law is adopted, citizens will have the opportunity to express their views on the subject.The normal procedures for the entry into force of a loan by-law will follow the adoption.Debt management policy By ratifying a loan of more than $14 million, councillors made the unusual decision to go beyond the debt management policy, which sets the maximum loan for infrastructure at $7 million annually.Bélanger justified this move by saying that \"this is the largest project in the history of Magog and once completed, the downtown will be an extraordinary engine of economic, tourism and social development.\u201d Downtown Revitalization Project Update In September 2017, Magog City Council members refused bids received in the call for tenders for the revitalization of the downtown core because the lowest proposal exceeded the amount allocated to the project.Since then, plans and specifications have been completely revised.\"Our team rolled up their sleeves and analyzed each item of the plans and specifications in order to find less expensive solutions, without distorting the project or the initial concept and respecting the allocated budget,\u201d said Nathalie Pelletier, municipal councillor and chair of the downtown revitalization committee.\u201cAs we mentioned last April, this exercise led us to make the decision not to include the development of the Parc des Braves in the works.Options such as the belvedere at the corner of Sherbrooke and Principale streets and that of rue de la Grosse-Pomme are also excluded from the project and we have reviewed the choice of materials and street furniture.\" The city center being a key sector, the City has taken care to ensure that the needs and wishes of merchants and citizens are met.Despite the compromises that have been made, the project retains the unique, inviting, and unifying character of the downtown.Pelletier added that \"merchants, who have been mobilized for a few years, met with planners recently to ensure their needs are met.We wanted to know how open they were to the strategies that will be put in place and we will accompany them during this period.\" In the coming weeks, the City of Magog will launch a call for tenders to award the contract for the execution of downtown revitalization works. Now that the American midterm elections are over, there is likely to be a great sucking vacuum in the television-viewing habits of many folks on this side of the border who have been addicted to CNN and MSNBC, well, ever since that orange-haired fellow began his run for the presidency.(Of course there\u2019s still the on-going dramatic series, Trump\u2019s Threat to American Democracy, to follow, but it\u2019s hard to watch).Curiously, timed nearly precisely with the Nov.6 election was the advent of a significant change in the Canadian television world, although \u201ctelevision\u201d is not the word, really.It\u2019s streaming, and the world where the technological choice exists, is pretty much splitting up into cable people and streaming people.As of Nov.1 telecommunications giant, Montreal-based Bell Media expanded its streaming service to include HBO as well as programming on channels previously called The Movie Network (TMN).Our cabled household became aware of this new development when suddenly channel names on the on-screen guide changed.The four TMN channels are now called Crave 1, 2, 3 and 4, and they include programs from the Showtime, Vice and Kids channels.TMN Encore, which has vintage programming, is to be rebranded in 2019 as Starz.According to industry watchers, this is a big brave push by Bell to become a serious player in the streaming market, which, the same watchers say, is the future for attracting and retaining viewing eyeballs.Competing in the saturated streaming world against beasts like Netflix and Amazon Prime is not for the corporate faint of heart.Anybody remember Shomi?With HBO, though, Bell has got some pretty juicy bait to lure streaming customers.Without sounding like too much of a shill for the groundbreaking cable TV channel, HBO is a game- changer, programming wise, and, dare we say, worth every cent no matter what platform it\u2019s served on.It\u2019s got the resources and the guts to offer a wide variety of bold and often daring programming.Which brings us back to politics on television.This year comedian-commen- tator Bill Maher celebrates 25 years on television, starting with the network series Politically Incorrect, which was cancelled because he said something politically incorrect that the network suits didn\u2019t like.HBO picked him up, renamed the show Real Time with Bill Maher, and, 16 years later, blessed with the uncensored power of cable TV, he\u2019s become a leading voice for \u201cthe resistance\u201d in the United States, and compulsory viewing for anyone who loathes Donald Trump.That said, he can be just as harsh a critic of the failings of liberals, whom he terms \u201csnowflakes\u201d for lacking the brutal ruthlessness of conservatives.One would seek in vain for a Canadian equivalent for Maher, although, truth be told, the antics of Canadian politicians - including \u201cCarlos Danger\u201d (look it up) copycat Tony Clement - are laughably tame compared to the excesses of Trump.The Beaverton, 22 Minutes, latterly Rick Mercer and, en francais, Infoman or Laflaque, are hardly in the same universe of scathing and often foul-mouthed political satire and commentary as one finds on a typical Friday night with Maher.The 62-year-old native New Yorker appears to have a soft spot for Canada, a fondness that surely deepened for the unabashed pot-smoker, with the legalization of weed north of the border - as was the case in California, where Maher lives, earlier this year.He finally got Canadian comedian Jim Carrey to come on his show recently, and he succinctly explained why Canadians are stereotypically so nice: \u201cThey can be nice because they have health care.\u201d Maher, like him or not, and certainly Trump fans do not, offers a unique weekly platform of unfiltered commentary and reflection on the state of the U.S.Apart from the quality of the programming, from The Sopranos to The Pacific to Sharp Objects, and, okay, Game of Thrones, HBO is a beacon of the U.S.constitutional First Amendment.In an era where the president of the United States calls the media \u201cenemies of the people,\u201d this bastion of freedom of speech and the press is all the more vital.EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , November 12 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Without sounding like too much of a shill for the groundbreaking cable TV channel, HBO is a game-changer, programming wise, and, dare we say, worth every cent no matter what platform it\u2019s served on.Cable TV offers resistance to Trump war on media 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 FAX: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON MCCULLY PUBLISHER .(819) 569-9511 MATTHEW MCCULLY ASSOCIATE EDITOR (819) 569-6345 GORDON LAMBIE ASSOCIATE EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-4856 JESSE BRYANT ADVERTISING MANAGER .(450) 242-1188 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .(819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .(819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION .(819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM .(819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, J0E 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 FAX: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST T O T A L QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 155.00 7.75 15.46 $ 1 7 8 .2 1 6 MONTHS 85.00 4.25 8.48 $ 9 7 .7 3 3 MONTHS 44.00 2.20 4.39 $ 5 0 .5 9 ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 108.72 5.44 10.85 $ 1 2 5 .0 0 1 MONTH 9.78 0.49 0.98 $ 1 1 .2 5 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA RECORD THE Peter Black CNESST launches campaign for workplace safety Record Staff The Committee on Standards, Equity, Health and Safety at Work (CNESST) has launched its new advertising campaign on health and safety at work.This year, to raise awareness of this social issue, the focus is on the extent of workplace accidents.Every six minutes an accident occurs at the workplace.That represents 236 workers a day injured in Quebec, totalling more than 86,000 workplace accidents in one year.Accidents occur in all workplaces, large and small, as well as in all sectors of activity.The CNESST aims to make health and safety at work a societal value, in order to bring about behavioral changes.\"Health and safety has to be an integral part of the corporate culture in all workplaces, large and small,\u201d said CNESST representative Manuelle Oudar.The CNESST will broadcast on television and on the Web a 30-second message, in French, as well as a radio message, on both French and English- language stations until Dec 9.

Saturday was a day of endings and new beginnings for the Bishop\u2019s Gaiters.The men\u2019s rugby team faced the Concordia Stingers in the RSEQ championships on Nov.10 and fell 22-20.Taking Concordia by surprise with their roaring fans and great energy was just not enough.The men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball team stayed in Lennoxville and hosted the UQAM Citadins in Mitchell Gym for their RSEQ home openers.Both Gaiters teams started off the official season with a win.About 70 Bishop\u2019s fans made the trip to Montreal to cheer on the men\u2019s rugby team in their first championship game since 2009.The Gaiters surprised the Stingers, with an incredibly tight game, opening the scoring in the first half as Robert McGovern scored a try after a missed penalty kick by Tyler Murphy, who led the game with 10 points.Con- cordia replied 10 minutes later by tying the game 7-7, and then taking a 12-7 lead with another try.Patrick Lawton scored the second Gaiters try in the 30th minute, giving Bishop\u2019s a 14-12 lead coming into the second half.Murphy booted a penalty in the 50th minute and extended the Gaiters lead 17-12.10 minutes later, the Stingers scored a try and made a successful conversion, leading 19-17.The Gaiters went for a penalty kick from the 45th yard line as the clock ticked down and Murphy succeeded.The 20-19 lead was not enough, as

died seven months ago after a battle with cancer.Since then, I have been suffering from frequent bouts of depression, haunted by the loss of my life partner.During these episodes I can feel something like a mild form of an adrenaline rush.What is it?Should I be worried?Dear Reader: We\u2019re deeply sorry for your loss, and for your struggle since then.Coping with the death of a beloved life partner is among the most difficult things we humans can face.At first, we\u2019re buffered by shock, which can confer a protective numbness.Then there\u2019s the whirlwind of activities associated with the ending of a life, which bring their own type of distraction and relief.It\u2019s afterward, when the world around us inevitably moves on, that reality sets in.And as you\u2019re experiencing, the effects are both emotional and physical.Bereavement and grief can cause intense emotional experiences.Among them is depression, which can have physical manifestations like fatigue, muscle aches and pains, sleep disturbance, loss of appetite, headaches and digestive disturbances.Another common effect of profound loss is anxiety, which we think is also involved in the physical symptoms that you\u2019re describing.To answer your second question, no, you don\u2019t need to be worried about these episodes.They are a natural part of the grieving process.Although your wife passed away seven months ago, your awareness of impending loss quite likely began with, or soon after, her cancer diagnosis.During the time of her illness, you were focused on her as her caregiver.Now, not only are you processing her death, you\u2019re also facing a radically altered life.That\u2019s a lot to take in, and it can send your nervous system into panic mode.Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts for dealing with grief.Some people will find they are OK after a few months, while for others it can take several years to recover.The thing to know, and to explain to the well-meaning people who may tell you it\u2019s time to move on, is that there is no right or wrong way to grieve.It takes as long as it takes.That said, there are several things that can make moving through this transition more bearable.First, take care of yourself physically.That means a healthy diet, moderate exercise and adequate sleep.Continue to make and keep all of your regular medical appoint - ments and stay current on any medications you\u2019ve been prescribed.When you\u2019re depressed or anxious, it can be all too easy to let the basics slide, yet the nuts and bolts of a day-to-day routine can be the solid ground on which you build your recovery.Another important step is identifying a support system.If you have friends or family reaching out to you, please do reach back, even when you don\u2019t think you feel like it.A bereavement support group can offer you a place not only to feel less alone by sharing your grief, but it will also give you the chance to help someone else.And finally, please do talk to your family doctor.He or she can be a wonderful resource.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.There is no \u2018right\u2019 way to grieve after the death of a spouse Canadian Red Cross Quebec Division Become a Volunteer: 1-877-356-3226 Make a donation: 1-800-418-1111 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2018 Dear Annie: With the upcoming gift season, I have a question regarding dollar limits set by clubs.Say an amount is set at $10.Does that mean the gift value or the dollar amount spent on the gift?Recently, I had a coupon for candles that were \u201cbuy one, get one free.\u201d This allowed me to purchase the $24 candles for $9.50.My friend said I should not give them at a $10- limit party because I would make other gifts look cheap.This has come up several times before.What should I do?The club parties are starting soon! \u2014 Anxious in Florida Dear Anxious: Would your friend like to bring in appraisers on the day of the exchange to inspect every gift and ensure compliance?The fact is that it\u2019s silly to try to stringently regulate the value of gifts in an exchange.As long as you\u2019re respecting the spending limit (and not looking for loopholes, e.g., giving away an expensive possession that technically cost you nothing), you\u2019re fine.Happy gifting.Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from \u201cA Very Grateful Mom\u201d and your answer to her.Ten years ago, my 15-year-old son was walking home from school, when he was hit by a car driven by a 91- year-old man.It was a tragic accident, and my son died three days later.His father and I decided to donate his organs to see something positive come out of this tragedy.My son was generous and loved to give, so we wanted the end of his life to have meaning and have his giving spirit live on by donating his organs.Several months after my son\u2019s death, I received cards and letters from some of the recipients.The woman who received my son\u2019s heart thanked us and let us know that she was now going to church and that she would now be able to see her own son get married.At that point in time, I wanted to just crawl into my son\u2019s grave and die.I have never answered that woman, and I do not plan to.She must have forgotten that someone had died for her to live on.It was also a painful reminder that I would never see my own son get married.I am appalled that \u201cA Very Grateful Mom\u201d was more or less complaining that the donor family had not contacted her.She should remember that in order for her own daughter not to have had to walk through death\u2019s door, someone else\u2019s child did.There is no getting over the loss of a child.Time does not heal all wounds.Show some compassion and stop making demands on families.In other countries, contact between donor and recipient families is not permitted within the first year.Sadly, that is not the case in the United States.Please remind your readers to remember that organs come from people young and old, fellow human beings who were loved and belonged to families that will not celebrate another chance at life but will have to come to terms with death, grief and lives forever changed.\u2014 Grieving Mom Dear Grieving Mom: I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your son.It sounds as though he had a beautiful spirit.Your letter brought me to tears.I do want to note that \u201cA Very Grateful Mom\u201d was not complaining that no one in the organ donor\u2019s family had reached out; she just said that she hopes one day someone will so that she can properly thank the family.Your letter helps illuminate why that may not happen.Thank you for the insight.Dear Annie: Yesterday my husband and I spent three hours on the road, traveling from our home to our nephew\u2019s college football game.We told my sister we planned to attend his game and gave up tickets to a Division I game in our hometown.I called my sister on the way there to ask whether she could save us seats.It was then that I found out she wouldn\u2019t be attending her son\u2019s game.Instead, she had gotten tickets to the game we were missing.The weather was perfect.The tickets cost only $5 each.And our nephew played about half the game.The problem occurred after the game, when we stood on the field.We were next to my brother-in-law, waiting to greet our nephew, but we were completely ignored the whole time.First my nephew stopped at the other end of the field to greet his girlfriend.He finally appeared on our end and stopped on the right side of us to greet his friends and their father.He fought back tears as he stood looking at his dad and saying he hadn\u2019t played well.We watched as my nephew took off all the tape on his hands and wrists.We kept staring at him, thinking he would at least look at us.But after another five or six minutes with no acknowledgment from my nephew or his dad, we headed for the car.Were we expecting too much from our nephew to at least look at us?His team had lost in the final seconds, and the coach was furious at the whole team.I understood that our nephew was upset and feeling awful about himself, but how could he have not made eye contact with the relatives who have spent every major holiday and family event with him since he was born?Is this the new behavior for college students?My sister says that he was disappointed and that she knows her husband is rude but there is nothing she can do about it.I always have everyone here for Thanksgiving and Christmas.Should I go ahead with all that entails and pretend that all is well?Do you have any advice for me or others who experience this type of behavior?\u2014 Disappointed Aunt Dear Disappointed Aunt: No, you should not go on as if all were OK.It\u2019s time to have an open and honest conversation with your nephew and his father about your feelings.Tell your nephew that you enjoyed watching him at the game.Clearly, your nephew was disappointed with his playing and the team\u2019s loss, and that is always tough for any player.But disappointment is never an excuse for rudeness.Perhaps he didn\u2019t see you or was embarrassed and didn\u2019t want to cry in front of you.Regardless, you will never know until you speak with him and tell him how much you enjoyed just watching him.His father is a different story.If your sister won\u2019t do anything about his behavior, then it is up to you and your husband to have a kind and honest conversation with him to let him know that your feelings were hurt when he didn\u2019t acknowledge you at his son\u2019s game.Only after you have these conversations should you decide about Thanksgiving and Christmas.The holidays are a time of forgiveness and celebration, so if I were in this situation, I would invite them and not let this one snub affect the holiday plans.\u201cAsk Me

East takes three tricks in clubs, then leads his last club honor.How should South continue?Since the red suits are safe, declarer has to decide who holds the spade queen.How?South should count the high-card points.Dummy has 14 and he holds 13.That leaves only 13 for East and West.But since East opened, he must have the spade queen.(Do not worry about 11- point openings, especially without a five-card suit.) Declarer ruffs with his spade eight, plays a spade to the ace and runs the spade 10 through East.Details at acbl.org."]
