Deadline: Dec ember 10, 201 8 Magog honours ?re victims Record Staff Magog mayor Vicki-May Hamm and members of the municipal council welcomed Sofyana Brown-Dupuis, William Thériault-Venne, and Serge Laflamme at a civic reception on Friday night in recognition of the bravery and courage they displayed during the fire that caused major damage in downtown Magog last month.Each of the three was presented with a commemorative plaque as a form of thanks for having taken the time to knock on their neighbors' doors to warn them to evacuate the building quickly.On behalf of herself and the members of the municipal council the mayor personally thanked the victims and emphasized the importance of their speed, coolness and bravery.\"Although this is a huge loss for our downtown core, the fire could have taken a far more tragic toll,\u201d Hamm said.\u201cThanks to your actions, you saved the lives of many citizens.We will be eternally grateful to you.\" \"You deserve all the honors we\u2019re giving to you tonight,\u201d added Fire Chief Sylvain Arteau.\u201cYou made our work easier by quickly ensuring that all the inhabitants of the building were out of danger.The City of Magog is privileged to count on citizens like you.\" The fire of October 16 destroyed three buildings on rue Principale and rendered twenty-six people homeless.The façades of some buildings on the south side of Principale Street were also damaged.This was the largest fire to have occurred in Magog in recent years (COURTESY VILLE DE MAGOG) Fatbike trails ready on Mont-Bellevue Magog man charged with sexual assault, child porn Record Staff Police raided a residence Thursday on St-Patrice St.in Magog with a search warrant and arrested a 31- year old suspect in connection with complaints of sexual abuse made by local teenagers.The events in question allegedly occurred over a period of a year.The suspect attracted young men to his home, gained their trust, and then abused them.During the search, material relating the possession and production of child pornography was seized.The suspect, who has no judicial record, appeared the Sherbrooke Courthouse.The Memphremagog Police will request that he be charged with sexual assault, sexual contact, incitement to sexual touching, obtaining sexual services for compensation, making sexually explicit material available to a child, and possession and production of child pornography. The word \u201cparity\u201d is popping up a lot in the commentary of sports \u2026 um, commentators, in relation to the National Hockey League (NHL).The gist of the \u201cparity\u201d phenomenon is that, even though the league is only about a quarter way into the 82-game schedule, a bunch of teams are making fools out of pre-season prognosticators.Take the Montreal Canadiens, for example - as perhaps the best example.Management disposed of the core of players that in recent years brought les glorieux to the brink of glory, or at least beyond the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.Sage shinny observers had written off the current edition of the Habs as a long-term rebuilding project without a blueprint, doomed to dwell in the league basement for the foreseeable future.As of this writing, however, the Canadiens are holding down the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference standings, and if the playoffs were held today, would face the top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning.The Canadiens are a few points ahead of the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, and the perennial powerhouse Pittsburgh Penguins are last in the conference.Indeed, with one exception, six of the seven Canadian NHL squads are currently playoff teams, or on the bubble.The Ottawa Senators, enduring what her majesty would call an annus horribilis, are floundering in the depths - but, hey, it\u2019s still early yet.NHL parity is such that in the Eastern Conference the bottom team is only 10 points behind the top team.In the Western Conference, it\u2019s about the same if you eliminate the Los Angeles Kings.Most observers would argue parity in pro sports is a good thing, in that it\u2019s proof that any team is a contender for a championship and, because each point is precious, makes early-season games meaningful.In the NHL, in the era of the salary cap, the assumption is a rich owner cannot simply buy the best team by writing a cheque.(Which doesn\u2019t explain the failure of the pre-cap Toronto Maple Leafs - but we digress).But what about student sports, where the relative strength of teams is not subject to market forces, and, legally speaking, student players cannot be offered financial incentives or compensation to play for a given team beyond free tuition and other fees.(Ontario, where the average university tuition is more than $6,500, caps its student sports scholarships at $4,500).The obvious example of the lack of parity in university sports would be Université Laval\u2019s Rouge et Or football team, whose dominance of the Quebec league since the program started in 1996 has been overwhelming.The team has played in the Quebec championship Dunsmore Cup 15 consecutive times, and only lost twice, both at the hands of the Université de Montréal Carabins.This past season was the same story, with the Rouge et Or undefeated and the Carabins only losing twice, narrowly, to the Laval team.In the semi-final Uteck Bowl, Laval crushed its Atlantic conference opponent, the St.Francis Xavier University X-men, by 63-0, and moved on to a 12th Vanier Cup appearance on Saturday, hoping to add a record tenth championship to their trophy case.The disparity in the Quebec league finally forced Bishop\u2019s University to look for other teams to play where they had at least a fighting chance.In 2017 the Gaiters moved to the Atlantic conference where they have been in some close games, losing by one point to the X-Men in their last match of the season.Faced with the overwhelming might of Laval and U de M, the three remaining teams, McGill, Concordia and Université de Sherbrooke, can only hope to score points off each other during the season in the hopes of making the playoffs and the slim prospect of beating either of the big two.Scenarios abound on how to fix the disparity, not only in the Quebec league, but nation-wide, where 27 university football programs compete: More inter- conference play, a difference structure for play-offs, more television coverage to stimulate fan interest.Losing teams could always do a better job of recruiting better players.In the NHL, parity has made a repeat champion a rarity; in university football, disparity breeds dynasties.EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , November 19 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record As of this writing, however, the Canadiens are holding down the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference standings, and if the playoffs were held today, would face the top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning.DEAR EDITOR, Iwould like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped in any way to support our auction we held recently for our church roof fund.To all who donated time, items for the sale, helped sort, moved items, donated time of trucks and trailers for pick up, and food for the canteen.Your generosity has been extraordinary and we at Beulah United Church in Ayer\u2019s Cliff are so grateful.It was a super sale and successful thanks to Larry Wheeler, our auctioneer and his team, who donated their time.We are now able to redo the church roof this year.A great big hug and thank you to all!

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Third time\u2019s a charm: Bishop\u2019s men\u2019s basketball starts off 3-0 By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record The Gaiters had an eventful weekend stretched across Montreal, Lennoxville, and Boston.The men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball teams as well as the women\u2019s hockey team each played two games.Travelling to Montreal on Thursday, Nov.15 was a successful ordeal for the men\u2019s basketball team as the Gaiters defeated the McGill Redmen 79-69.Led by Abdul Kamane with 22 points and 15 rebounds and captain Duncan Lambert with 17 points and 10 rebounds, Bishop\u2019s remained in control the entirety of the game.Saturday night\u2019s game proved to be even more impressive.The Mitchell Gym stands were full on Nov.17 as the Gaiters battled the Université de Laval Rouge et Or and won 93-86 in an overtime thriller.Bishop\u2019s was down three points with less than 10 seconds remaining when Kevin Davis stole the ball, made a layup and was fouled.He bridged the gap with 8 seconds left to the game to push for overtime.Abdul Kamane led the game with 25 points, with Davis right behind him with 21 points and five assists.Albeit a close game, with seven lead changes and five ties, the Gaiters were fueled by the crowd\u2019s momentum and stole the win away.The Gaiters now comfortably sit at the #1 position in the RSEQ standings.Bishop\u2019s will travel to Montreal on Saturday, Nov.21 as they face the Concordia Stingers at 4 p.m.The women\u2019s basketball team was not as lucky, as they fell to the McGill Martlets 67-44 on Thursday, Nov.15.Despite Maude Archambault\u2019s 17 points, the Martlets assured the victory with a strong 21-point first quarter.Marie Berrouette tallied a double-double with 11 points and 15 rebounds, but it was not enough to resist McGill.A quick Rouge et Or start left the Gaiters unable to compete, falling 68-38 to Laval.The loss dropped the Gaiters to a 1-2 record.Metchline Gabelus accumulated nine points, five rebounds, and two assists for the Gaiters, but it did not slow Laval down, as they led the second, third, and fourth quarters by at least 15 points.Bishop\u2019s head coach Craig Norman asked to \u201cgive Laval credit, they are a very good basketball team and they kicked our butt, but we will live to fight another day.\u201d The Gaiters will be back in action in Montreal against the Concor- dia Stingers on Saturday, Nov.24 at 2 p.m.The women\u2019s hockey team travelled to Boston, Massachusetts to face Northeastern University on Saturday, Nov.17 and Sunday, Nov.18.Currently leading the ACHA Division II, Bishop\u2019s now has a 4-1 record as they beat their American rivals 5-1 on Saturday and 7-1 on Sunday.The Gaiters do not have any more games scheduled until the New Year.They will be back in action in Lynchburg, Virginia, for a tournament beginning Jan.25, 2019.EMERY GBODOSSOU Abdul Kamane, pictured with the ball, led Bishop\u2019s this weekend with

M.D.Dear Doctor: My wife and I worry about how social media rules the lives of all four of our teens, especially our two daughters.I get that there must be some upsides, but mostly we see it making the kids stressed and anxious.Are we overreacting?Should we take their phones away?Dear Reader: When you consider that the era of social media is already 15 years old (remember Myspace, which launched in 2003?), it means that today's teens have never lived in a world without it.According to a recent survey from the Pew Research Center, 95 percent of teens either own a smartphone or have regular access to one.Ninety percent of teens say they go online multiple times per day, while almost half report being online \"almost constantly.\" While there can be real benefits to this kind of connectedness, it has become clear that the potential for negative behaviors and experiences is all too real.On the plus side, there is the chance to expand social circles and strengthen existing friendships.But social media sites are also ripe for bullying, spreading rumors, ostracism and peer pressure.Another challenge is the stress associated with curating a social media presence, as well as the unrealistic expectations that get generated regarding physical appearance.And then there's the fact that this all takes place on public platforms and in real time, where the number of \"likes\" and the tenor of comments can wreak havoc on a teen's sense of self-worth.It's not surprising that you, like so many parents, are seeing your kids struggle.When it comes to anxiety, no, you're not overreacting.Anxiety now tops depression as the main mental health issue among teens and young adults.That's not to say social media is the sole reason for this, but recent studies cite it as a contributing factor.Our teens grew up at the same time as the social media landscape.In a way, these kids have been the unofficial test subjects of this new means of social connection.And while it's tempting to ditch the smartphones and cancel the family's mobile plan, the truth is that social media is here to stay.Instead, you're going to have to wade into the fray yourselves.First, identify and learn the apps your kids are using.Snapchat and YouTube are the most popular at the moment.A year from now, it will likely be something different.The more you understand about the workings and nuances of your child's online platforms, the more likely she or he will be able to talk to you about them and to accept help if it's ever needed.The goal here isn't to spy on or even \"friend\" your kids on social media, but to become fluent in the world that has so much of their attention.We also think it's a good idea to implement a family program - that means kids AND adults - of screen hygiene.Put devices away during homework, during meals and at bedtime.Yes, you're worried about the kids, but we know from experience that the grown-ups in the room can benefit from this kind of media fast as well.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.Parents worried that social media is making their teens anxious MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2018 Dear Annie: I have a work colleague whose married son died about six months ago of cancer.His son was in his 40s.My friend is upset that his son\u2019s wife never put an obituary in the newspaper.Seeing as it is still bothering him, I said he should put one in the paper himself.But he thinks it is too late now.It seems as if more and more people are just posting funeral information on social media and not putting it in newspapers.I understand why he wants it in the newspaper, as it would create more of a permanent record of his son\u2019s passing.Although, I realize that posting on social media is easier and gets to the appropriate audience.Your thoughts?Should he put it in the newspaper even six months later, or is it too late?\u2014 Are Obituaries Over?Dear Are Obituaries Over?: It\u2019s never too late to honor our loved ones.Despite the ubiquity of social media, printing an obituary in the newspaper remains the best way to commit to record someone\u2019s life when the person has passed on to the next.Additionally, according to a 2017 Nielsen Scarborough study, 69 percent of adults in the U.S.read the newspaper, so it\u2019s an ideal medium for reaching the community.There most likely are some people who knew his son at one point but fell out of contact and would not otherwise know of his death.Encourage your friend to contact the local paper about submitting an obituary commemorating the life of his beloved son.Dear Annie: I have been a faithful reader of this column for some time and have never seen the subject of paranoid personality disorder here.I was diagnosed with depression many years ago, but it was only recently that PPD was diagnosed.When I Googled paranoid personality disorder, I was shocked to see that I match the disorder symptom for symptom.That explains why I have been paranoid and angry for so long.I am now estranged from most of my family and friends.After constantly having to put up with my suspicious nature and anger, they have disowned me, including my husband, who divorced me.My kids don\u2019t want anything to do with me, and I am not allowed to see my grandchildren.I feel helpless to fight for them to be back in my life, because I have hurt them greatly.If I tried to explain that it was this mental illness that made me act that way, they might be even more apprehensive of me.I suspected everyone in my life to be my enemy, and in the end, that\u2019s what everyone became.Could you please let your readers know what the symptoms of paranoid personality disorder are and that there are support groups available online?\u2014 My Own Worst Enemy Dear Own Worst Enemy: I am so sorry that this disorder has cost you so much.I am glad to hear you\u2019ve found some support, and I hope things improve for you in time.Thank you for opening up and sharing your experience here so that others might learn from it.Dear Annie: I am the youngest of five siblings between the ages of 63 and 72.Our parents are deceased.There was much stress over the loss of our mother four years ago.We each received a big inheritance.However, there was much tension over the money.They all come here to vacation, and this is where my mother lived.It is stressful for me because they do not consider anyone else\u2019s desires when it comes to how we spend time with one another.This year, my husband had a dental abscess, and we wanted change dinner plans to accommodate his eating, yet they refused.We met them at their restaurant and accommodated them.They then say we are the ones who do not meet their needs.This happens every year, and it makes me think that perhaps I should not be here when they come.It makes me very upset.It takes me a while after they leave to regroup.This year, I received two not-very- nice emails from my sisters telling me \u201cit is all about\u201d me.These visits never end well.There does not appear to be any concern or love from them.Am I wrong to feel this way?Is it me?\u2014 One of Five Dear One of Five: You are the captain of your own feelings\u2019 ship, so I will never tell you not to feel a certain way.But it does appear that every year, you are getting upset about your siblings\u2019 visit.All relationships require compromise and really listening to the other person\u2019s needs.In this case, you didn\u2019t feel that your husband\u2019s needs were met because of his dental emergency, and your siblings, especially your sisters, didn\u2019t feel that their needs were being listened to or met.It would be nice to take a vote in the future to plan your dining and other activities.That way, there are no surprises.No family is perfect, but we only get one.Try to find the positive and loving experiences in your visits with them.Dear Annie: This is the first time I have written to you.I just wanted to say something to mothers who gave up their children for adoption, though I know there are many different reasons for doing so.I want to thank them for giving me two beautiful children, a son and daughter.I gave up a really high-paying job that I loved in order to bring up my children.My child- rearing days were the happiest ones of my life, bar none.My late husband loved them both dearly, and they loved him.They have continued to enrich my life, and I am very proud of them and love them dearly.My daughter is my rock and support, and my son is also there for me.I am the proud grandmother of my son\u2019s two children.I have had a full and interesting life but still count the days when they were babies as the most special days of my life.\u2014 A Mother Dear Mother: Thank you so much for writing.Your letter touched my heart, and I\u2019m so happy to pass along your message to all the birth parents of adopted children.Congratulations on bringing up your children to become such strong and loving people \u2014 and on becoming a grandmother, too.\u201cAsk Me
