By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record Face-painting, bowling, limbo, musical chairs, and many more carnival games were set up in the Bishop\u2019s University Student Union Building (SUB) on Saturday, Nov.24.The annual holiday Carnival is a tradition within the university\u2019s Bug Buddies club, where over 50 Bishop\u2019s students are paired with Lennoxville Elementary School (LES) students for an afternoon of fun activities.The Bishop\u2019s SUB was packed Saturday afternoon as 114 Big and Little Buddies and a dozen volunteers gathered from 1 p.m.to 3 p.m.for the Carnival festivities.With a multitude of carnival games, popcorn cups, juice boxes, and Christmas music, the 57 Buddies pairs were in for a treat.One of the university\u2019s most popular clubs, Big Buddies organizes a total of eight activities each year with LES students.At the beginning of the school year, members of the club\u2019s executive team visit the LES classes to inform students about the program.This year, they received over 150 applications.The club being pair-based, Big Buddies can only accept as many children as volunteer Bishop\u2019s students they have.They recruit heavily every semester hoping to cater to more children.Big Buddy Nanthicha Laniel, a third-year elementary education student, explained that the program enables the children and students to grow together.Most Big Buddies participate all three or four years of their degree and are often paired with the same children.According to the executive team, the mentorship program is equally beneficial for the children and the Bishop\u2019s students.It helps the students relieve stress and bond with younger versions of themselves.Laniel joined the club because she loved \u201chow it brings the community together.Most Bishop\u2019s students do not get to interact with the kids in Lennoxville.\u201d She added that \u201cit also allows for students who aren\u2019t necessarily in the education program to get an opportunity to mentor children.\u201d Hosting events one Saturday a month, Big and Little Buddies experience an array of activities.From trips to a pumpkin patch, to apple-picking, to swimming at the university pool, there are many opportunities for the LES and Bishop\u2019s students to bond.Pairs are formed based on compatibility, as each Big and Little Buddy fills out a form with their interests and habits.The $10 membership fee, paid by each Big and Little Buddy, helps cover materials, snacks, and transportation for the events.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, November 26, 2018 Page 5 ALEXANDER GALT CHRISTMAS BASKET CAMPAIGN 2018 : The AGRHS Christmas basket campaign has been a long-standing tradition in the community.Over the years we have been fortunate in being able to rely on several partners and community members to help us fill the baskets with some staples and all the trimmings of a holiday meal.Thanks to great success last year, this holiday season we will continue to focus on raising funds rather than food items (any such donations will be taken to the local food bank), baskets will be created from the funds received.With the help of our local partner Lennoxville\u2019s Provigo Robert Lafond, we are able to create baskets filled with daily necessities.holiday essentials and fresh produce.Your overwhelming support has allowed us to move forward to better answer the needs of the community and we thank you.The baskets will benefit families from Alexander Galt Regional High School sector (elementary and high school).We hope we can continue to rely on your support, as it remains very important for the success of our Christmas basket campaign.Please, make cheques payable to (tax receipts for donations of $10 and over will be issued): AGRHS Christmas Basket Campaign and mail to: AGRHS, P.O.Box 5002, 1700 rue College, J1M 1Z9 Thank you for your generosity!

Last fall a headline in this space boldly proclaimed \u201cFranco-Ontari- ans to get new university.\u201d Well, so much for that.What franco-Ontarians did get was Doug Ford, and what even the most reasonable observer would describe as an inexplicable attack on the province\u2019s 600,000 or so French-speaking citizens.Specifically, Ford axed the previous Liberal government\u2019s long-delayed plan to create a French-language university for the Toronto region.He also cut the office of French language services commissioner.Ford made the cuts in the guise of budget belt-tightening, blaming the previous administration for drunken sailor- style spending.The $80 million for the university and $2.8 million for the commissariat, as critics have pointed out, is but a drop or two in Ontario\u2019s $150 billion budget bucket.If the face of a storm of anger and outrage, last week Ford walked back somewhat on the eliminating of the franco commissioner but did not budget on the cancelled university.Still, what\u2019s done was done and folks have been left wondering what could possibly motivate a targeted strike on a group of such historic and symbolic importance in Canada\u2019s largest province?Surely the cuts were not the actions of a governing party hoping to add seats in regions that shunned Ford\u2019s Progressive Conservatives in the June election.The Tories only won one seat in Ontario\u2019s collection of francophone-rich ridings, that one being Glengarry- Prescott-Russell, near the Quebec border.The newly elected MPP, Amanda Simard, a young lawyer and former town councillor, put her career on the line by privately pleading against and then publicly denouncing Ford\u2019s actions.As far as we know, despite her career- limiting protest, Simard is still the parliamentary assistant to Justice Minister Caroline Mulroney, who Ford made a full minister for francophone affairs in his attempt at damage control.Technically speaking, Mulroney could qualify as a linguistic minority herself, growing up as an anglophone in father Brian\u2019s West- mount mansion.One ventures gingerly into any comparison of the relative status of Quebec\u2019s anglos and Ontario\u2019s francos.Both groups have their gripes and grievances about their treatment over the years at the hand of the majority linguistic group.For Quebec anglophones, the litany of perceived abuses imposed on them would include the relatively recent appropriation of English health institutions by provincial authorities, the series of battles over English on signs, and, of course, Law 101 and its sweeping changes to the use of language in business, education and government administration.On the franco-Ontarian side, the story of the most recent decades would be more about incremental improvements in government services.The landmark change was the French Language Services Act of 1986, brought in by Liberal Premier David Peterson.He was a key ally of Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa in the struggle for the Meech Lake Accord constitutional deal.There are certain fundamental differences in the status and rights of Quebec anglos and Ontario francos.Perhaps the most stark is the amount of choice parents have in education.In Ontario, students can attend school in either official language, subject to board boundaries.There are no restrictions on where newcomers can send their kids.In Quebec, with some special exceptions, newcomers without eligibility for English public education under Law 101 must send their children to French school.In the perverse corollary of those restrictions, francophone parents are not allowed to send their kids to English school.English-speaking parents with eligibility, on the other hand, can, and do - in numbers - send their children to French school.Education rights are deeply ingrained in the soul of franco-Ontarians.If Premier Ford were to crack open a Canadian history text he would read about his predecessor from a century ago, James Whitney.In 1912, his government approved what is called Regulation 17, which banned French language education in Ontario schools beyond grade two.Regulation 17, which had as much to do with religious intolerance as linguistic, sparked outrage, led to a prolonged political and legal struggle, and ultimately petered out in failure before it was rescinded in 1927.Still, as much as Quebec anglos may feel their education rights embattled, they have never been subjected to a measure aimed at forced assimilation as were Ontario\u2019s francophones.\u201cThey're fighters,\u201d said Premier Ford, in announcing his slight retreat on his attack on French services.One could add, they\u2019ve had to be.EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , November 26 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The

smelling nice and fresh?When it\u2019s time to replace the box, don\u2019t toss the baking soda in the trash.While it may not be active enough to bake with, you can still do a myriad of other things with old baking soda.Keep it handy near your stove or grill; if there\u2019s a flare-up or fire, baking soda is a great extinguisher.Mix baking soda with equal parts sugar and place it where you\u2019ve spotted roaches.The sugar attracts them to the mixture, but the baking soda is deadly to them.And finally, you can dump it into the sink or tub and use it as an all-natural cleaner.Do Just

learned from past mistakes.The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.\u201d Correct \u2014 but it is still true that, des - pite numerous admonitions from teachers and authors, many bridge players do not think at trick one.They immediately and blindly plow forward.To try to cure this trait, David Bird has written \u201cTrick One\u201d (Master Point Press).Englishman Bird is best known for his amusing books, but he is a good writer who explains things clearly.In 16 declarer-play and seven defense chapters, he covers the ground thoroughly.There are then 28 declarer-play and 16 defense problems to try, the diagramed deal being one of them.How should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the heart eight?South seems to have only three losers: one spade, one heart and one diamond.What might go wrong?West appears to have led from a short suit.If he also has ace-nine-fourth of spades, he might be able to get a trump promotion.Note that that happens if declarer wins the first trick.West takes the second or third trick with his spade ace and leads his second heart.East wins and plays a third heart, and West\u2019s spade nine must take a trick.Since East would probably have bid with six hearts headed by the king- queen-jack, South should duck the first trick, take the second with his heart ace, cross to dummy with a club and play on spades (carefully allowing for East\u2019s having the bare ace).

(819) 569-9525 (450) 242-1188 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2018 Dear Annie: I have a tricky problem going on right now.I am married and have been for a while \u2014 20-plus years.It\u2019s been a typical marriage, with its ups and downs, but I\u2019d say I\u2019ve been fairly content and things have been pretty good.Right now, I would say I am in the middle of my life, so this issue could very well be a midlife crisis.I have a great relationship with my husband\u2019s ex-wife.We have always gotten along famously.Lately, I have been having strong feelings for her that I should- n\u2019t be having.I have four stepchildren, and there is always some function or get-together with all of us.We typically have a wonderful time together.I find myself thinking about her all the time when I\u2019m not around her.I know that nothing can come of these feelings, and it seems ridiculous to me, but I can\u2019t seem to stop them.I never felt this way in the early days of my marriage.It started a few years ago.I\u2019m not sure what brought it on, but she is a great person, and maybe I\u2019ve just started to realize that.I\u2019m even dreaming about her at night.I have had same-sex feelings off and on my whole life and was in a brief relationship with a woman before I met my husband.It was quick but intense.When I met my husband, I only had eyes for him, so I didn\u2019t think anything more about women until now.I am sure I should probably talk to a therapist because this can\u2019t be normal.I\u2019ve tried everything to stop the thoughts, but they just seem to be getting stronger.I don\u2019t want to be consumed with this any longer.My husband and stepchildren would be shocked to know about this, but I am very good at hiding my feelings and would never say a word to them.I wonder, though, whether any of my feelings show when I am around the family.I\u2019m open to any suggestions you might have.\u2014 Pining Away Day After Day Dear Pining Away: Before deciding whether to act on your feelings, you should talk to a therapist, as you acknowledged in your letter.Developing strong feelings for another person could be a sign that there is a lack of intimacy in your own marriage.If that\u2019s the case, then the next person you should talk to is your husband.The type of uncontrollable thoughts you have could also be a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder.The way around them is through them.The more you resist intrusive thoughts the more they come.That which we resist persists.You sound pretty calm, considering the catastrophic potential of your acting on your feelings, and you will know so much more and be ready to act \u2014 one way or the other \u2014 after you have talked this through with a professional.Dear Annie: A while ago, the issue of noisy children in restaurants was discussed in your column.You have yet to discuss the more ubiquitous problem of noisy adults in restaurants.\u2014 David B.Dear David: I have no solution to your problem, unfortunately, but thank you for the chuckle.Here\u2019s to remembering to use our indoor voices more often, no matter how excited we are to be out to lunch with friends.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
