PM#0040007682 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2013 SQ advises motorists that winter is coming SHERBROOKE e phrase \u201cWinter is coming\u201d | doesn\u2019t sound as ominous in Quebec as it does on some fantasy television series, but it nevertheless brings with it safety concerns, particularly for motorists on Quebec roads.The Sûreté du Québec is therefore asking drivers to remember to adapt their driving behaviour to winter conditions and to ensure their vehicles are properly equipped as required by law.From Dec.15 to Mar.15 inclusive, ali vehicles registered in Quebec must be equipped with winter tires.In addition, some vehicles may be equipped with studded tires from Oct.15 to May 1, inclusive, but their use is prohibited outside this period.The use of good winter tires can reduce braking distance by 25 per cent, which may, in many cases, avoid collisions resulting in death or injury.Police will therefore be alert to ensure that all vehicles are up to code.Moreover, in winter driving conditions, basic safety precautions should be taken by drivers to reduce the risk of accidents.Maintaining a safe distance between vehicles, clearing snow from the vehicle, and defrosting windows are essential precautions.Each year, patrol officers intercept vehicles traveling without having been cleared of snow and issue rickets to offenders.These \u201cmobile igloos\u201d, represent a danger for the driver, whose visibility is reduced, as well as to other road users, who are exposed to piles of snow or ice flying from the vehicle.CAA-Quebec\u2019s rule for ensuring a tire is in proper condition at the start of the season is that its tread must be at least five millimetres (or 6/32 of an inch) thick, to guarantee proper grip during the entire winter.To make sure, you can use a tread- depth gauge, have your tires inspected at a garage you trust, or use the \u201cquarter trick.\u201d Take a quarter, with the elk side facing you, and stick it into one of the channels in the centre of the tire tread, with the elk\u2019s snout pointing downward.If you can\u2019t see the tip of the snout, then your tread is thick enough to last the season.A special medal for a special man

Gordon Lambie Special to The Record because of the way it shares a building with Alexander Galt Regional High School, the Eastern Townships Learning Centre is branching out and providing innovative and non-tra- ditional approaches to student success.Through its increasingly successful outdoor education program, \u201cLook to the Mountain,\u201d the ETLC is working to offer its students as many pathways to achievement as possible by providing them with tools and opportunities that allow them to overcome the distinct and diverse challenges that brought O ften overlooked as an institution them to the centre in the first place.\u201cThere are no disposable kids,\u201d says the ETLC Principal Velma Sutherland, quoting Dr.Martin Brokenleg, a Lakota Sioux youth-care expert, \u201cso often what we get here are kids that just feel like they've been disposed of.\u201d Sutherland explained that the idea of attending the school has been, and continues to be, a source of personal and social stigma for many students, and expressed frustration with the fact that some people see the Learning Centre as a dead-end.\u201cThe perception seems to be that if they go to the learning centre, they're going nowhere,\u201d Sutherland said, \u201cbut we have all sorts of kids.I don\u2019t want people to think that the Learning Centre\u2019s just for kids who can\u2019t handle the academics.We have all kinds of successes here.\u201d Sutherland explained that the centre provides alternative learning contexts for different needs, and pointed out, as an example, that the school currently has a student who is taking advanced Secondary Four Math and Science courses at Galt, but remains enrolled in the ETLC as a transitional space from having been home schooled.\u201cThey're a special group of kids,\u201d the principal said.\u201cbut they have just as much right to figure out their gifts as anyone.\u201d CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 4 Page 2 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2013 The Record | e-edition _ There

Federation | of University Women (CFUW) Sherbrooke & District Club is pleased to feature Dr.Rona K.Graham Ph.D.who will discuss how proteins involved in cell death \" pathways are regulated with aging and how they may be altered during the development of neurodegenerative diseases.Dr.Graham is Assistant Prof at the University of Sherbrooke and has a Canada Research Chair in Neurodegeneratative diseases.Neurodegeneration is the loss of structure and function of neurons in the brain which causes cellular dysfunction and the eventual death of brain cells.This cellular dysfunction can result in cognitive deficits and motor abnormalities.Several neurological diseases, including Parkinson, Alzheimer, Huntington disease, and stroke, occur as a result of a neurodegenerative process.The prevalence of these diseases is increasing dramatically as people are living longer, and now affect millions of people worldwide.The overall goal of Dr Graham\u2019s research is to outline the critical, common steps involved in the development of neurological diseases and help identify treatments that could delay or prevent brain degeneration.This is topic that is relevant to many of us.Dr.Graham will also discuss her path to becoming a neuroscientist.The public is invited to hear this free important presentation on Thursday, Nov.21 at 8 p.m.at the Amédée- Beaudoin Community

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Eastern Townships Learning Centre CONT'D FROM PAGE 1 The school currently has about 102 students, according to Sutherland, who vary between the ages of 12 and 20, and who have come to the Eastern Township's only English alternate school for a range of reasons from diagnosed learning disorders to intellectual impairments, to being more than two years behind their level in school for social or societal reasons.Students enrolled in the school are either helped to reach the level they should be at in order to integrate back into Galt, or they are put on the Work Oriented Training Path (WOTP) curriculum, which leads to either a semi-skilled or pre-work training certificate from the ministry of education.Those students in the WOTP also qualify for the school\u2019s Look to the Mountain Program, which provides a whole new approach to making space for students to figure out their gifts and strengths.Tania Portelli organizes the Look to the Mountain program as well as being part of the teaching staff of the school.She explained that the whole objective of the program has been to get students away from the traditional structure of school.\u201cWe wanted to create something where our students could experience success outside of the formal classroom,\u201d Portelli said, \u201cthey\u2019re very smart, they have many gifts, and tests are only one way of looking at what a student can do.A lot of the time our kids don\u2019t do well on tests, and it\u2019s not because they're not smart, they just need to be given other opportunities.\u201d Portelli explained that the whole program is built around the First Nations \u201cCircle of Courage,\u201d a philosophy focused on belonging, independence, mastery and generosity that Dr.Brokenleg teaches through his work.Being with students in the program for three years, she said, allows for a huge amount of trust and belonging to develop naturally while each works on mastering outdoor rr 4 3 ra, PHOTOS COURTESY VELMA SUTHERLAND Tania Portelli (Left) with students on Mount Sutton.and communication skills.Students\u2019 independence is proven through their decision making skills, both for themselves and on behalf of groups they are apart of, and the component of generosity comes through in various community outreach programs the students engage in throughout the year with organizations like Estrie-Aide.At the same time, students are being tested physically through trips that have involved activities like canoeing, backpacking, hiking, snowshoeing, winter camping, exchanges to British Colombia and leadership initiatives on the program's low- ropes course.While working through and with the ETLC, the Look to the Mountain outdoor education program is not funded by the Eastern Townships School Board, according to Portelli, but instead relies on grants and community support gathered through an associated nonprofit organization that will soon have charitable status.Sutherland pointed out that the board does pay the salary of the associated teacher, but both she ss AJ v REL FORLIFE BENEFIT DANCE for TEAM HOPE (Relay for Life - Magog) ; Saturday, November 23, 9 pm,

probably fundraised $150,000,\u201d Portelli said, explaining that that money largely went into making sure the program would have the necessary equipment, and pointing out that that includes things like proper footwear or clothing for students who, in some cases, are coming from households with not very much money.Furthermore, both she and Sutherland emphasized that, given the fact that many of the students in the Group shot of the Look to the Mountain pariticpants on a canoe trip at school come from poorer backgrounds, all of the programming and trips associated with Look to the Mountain are free.Sutherland pointed out that the ETLC is taking a different approach, in that many schools tend to create special programs for students who excel academically.\u201cThere are so many different kinds of learners and there are all these programs like sport- etudes and art-etudes, but they're usually for the kids that are better at classroom learning, and you have to pay,\u201d the principal

these kids a chance to excel.\u201d \u201cI don't want to make it sound like Look to the Mountain is the be-all and end-all,\u201d Portelli added, \u201csome of our kids have deep rooted problems and we can't be the solution for everything, but knowing that we care about them and we try, can be worth it.\u201d PA Both principal and teacher spoke to the fact that the ETLC would like to be able to hire a therapist to work closely with the students who need it.Sutherland explained that while technically the school has access to Galt\u2019s allocated complimentary services, the resources often get eaten up by trying to serve such a large population, meaning that experts are consulted as a reaction to crisis, rather than as a preventative measure.\u201cThe stuff that comes out on a canoe trip is stuff that will never come out in a classroom,\u201d Portelli said, explaining that with the level of trust the program builds, students sometimes make difficult disclosures which then have to be addressed, and that having a therapist on staff could help with that process.With the future of the program in mind, Portelli explained that there are big projects ahead but, as is often the case, money is an obstacle.\u201cWe want to get the kids out of this building,\u201d she said, pointing out that the program owns 15 acres of land on Spring road near the school, \u201cI think it would make a huge difference for (students\u2019) self-esteem and self respect.I don\u2019t know what it is about this building, but there is constant drama; they won\u2019t be able to go on their phones because there won't be Internet access there.I think we'll be able to really get them to focus.\u201d The objective, according to Portelli, is to build a two-room schoolhouse with a permacul- ture garden on the land that already holds their low-ropes course and hiking trails.The schoolhouse could then be of fered up as a rentable outdoor education centre when not in use by the program in order to make it more self-sufficient.The hurdle to overcome, though, is that the set up costs are in the range of $250,000, and the grant applications Portelli has made this year have not produced any results.\u201cRight now we're actually a bit low on funding,\u201d she said, while at the same time expressing tremendous gratitude for the financial support the program has already received from the community.Sutherland echoed and expanded on that gratitude, saying, \u201cI'm so grateful that the school board supports us verbally with this initiative and that the foundation supports us financially.I think that it makes the whole school richer.\u201d More information about the ETLC and the Look to the Mountain Program is available at www.looktothemountain.org The Record |

statements of offence against the driver, for fines totaling $1,425, and seven demerit points for refusing to obey the order of a signaller and reckless driving.On Saturday morning at around 3:20

MASTINE e CBC Radio Noon Farm Panel | has bit the dust.It is a sad time for rural English-speaking Quebec.In many families, conversations would stop as soon as those gathered around the table heard the theme music announcing the start of the seg- ment\u2014listening to the Panel has been a sacred ritual.It brought farm issues and concerns in rural Quebec to the forefront for more than 20 years, covering topics like the progress of the seasons, the current weather and its impact on farming, grain and meat prices, new developments, legislation, studies.and specific information on subjects such as bees, apples, pesticides, coyotes and other livestock predators, abattoirs, cheese production, maple syrup, farm safety, dairy production, lambing season, haying, raising garlic (did you know that 90 per cent of the garlic consumed in Canada is grown in China?).Listeners were informed of the demise of the panel during last week\u2019s final program.The voices of dairy farmer Jeannie Neveu of Rawdon and sheep and beef producer Bob Laberge of Danville will be very much missed.Agricultural communications specialist Hugh Maynard, the third member of the panel, will still be a contributor to Radio Noon.According to program host Bernie St.Laurent, the plan is to continue to follow farm issues and to talk about them on Tuesdays, with Maynard playing the key role, presenting his \u201cFarm and Food Briefs.\u201d St.Laurent hastened to assure those at the other end of the airwaves that efforts will be made to remind everyone of those who work hard to put food on the table and to focus on life in Quebec beyond Montreal.So.why would anyone be wary of this fresh approach?Because this announcement seems to be the death knell for a direct link with those who work the land and produce the food we eat.It forebodes the absence of regular input from people devoted to family-based farming.Information can be related by any individual who has done the research, but facts and figures just don\u2019t have the same punch as hearing the personal experiences of those directly involved in providing the food we eat.Urban and rural folks alike need to have a connection with farm life.The CBC would do well to take note of writer Sharon Butala\u2019s beliefs about farming and our relationship with it, as outlined in Lawrence Scanlan\u2019s book Heading Home: \u201c.lifelong, genera- tions-long attachments to land work mysteriously on human memory and imagination and dreams.What starts as something physical and literal\u2014dirt under the fingernails\u2014becomes in time more spiritual; the land gets under your skin in another way.\u201d Dropping the Farm Panel is akin to removing the face from agriculture, wrenching away any recognition of the value of rural life and agriculture expe- riences\u2014treating it like a business, like car manufacturing, rather than a way of life.A message to the powers-that-be at CBC Radio as this \u201cnew format\u201d is developed and fine-tuned: Your listeners, whatever their background and wherever they are living, need to hear from outstanding individuals in the farming community, and particularly from those who are out there standing in their fields.Thanks to Jeannie, Bob, and their predecessor the late Warren Grapes for having built a stronger link between the farming and non-farming communities and for having shared their opinions, wisdom, and very good humour with us over the years.\u2014T#E sm RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1G 1Y7 Fax: 819-821-3179 EMAL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WessitE:

DEAR EDITOR, years has gone by since we held the first Terry Fox run.I would like to thank my faithful elves who have worked tirelessly to make the campaign a great success, including everyone who donated money and bought T-shirts.I was very surprised when the Pariseau sisters gave me a beautiful bouquet to match 30 years of Terry's dream in Richmond.This year, 2013, was another great year for donations and T-shirts as we raised an amount of $14,004.Thank you all, I: doesn\u2019t seem possible that 30 PAT HENDERSON RICHMOND CRE CONGRATULATES CANDIDATES DEAR EDITOR, s President of the Regional Con- Ai of Elected Officials (CRE Estrie - of which 18 of the 27 directors are local elected representatives,- I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to all elected officials and candidates for the municipal elections of last November 3.According to data from the Chief Electoral Officer of Québec identified by the organization \u2018Ma place en politique,\u2019 nearly 1,000 people engaged in the electoral adventure in the Eastern Townships contesting the office of councilor, mayor or prefect.For council positions alone, more than 820 people entered races, which represents an increase of 6 per cent over the election of 2009 and 1 per cent compared to 2005.We can only welcome this increase, which is good news for the health of our democracy.In a context where municipal politics is sometimes unloved, I feel very reassured to see that more and more citizens have a genuine desire to contribute to the vitality of their municipality.Door- to-door discussions, media interviews, and shaking hands, are just some of the elements that contribute to making an election campaign an exciting exercise in democracy.I would like also to acknowledge the contribution of organizations such as the \u2018Forum jeunesse Estrie\u201d and \u2018Ma place en politique.\u2019 Their actions have prompted many young women to come forward, contributing to the election of several of them.An election is primarily the ideal opportunity for future elected officials to come to know the concerns and demands of the population.Discussions with citizens certainly influence the direction of city or borough councils.This is a key moment for the development of our communities where local officials have a vital role to play at all levels.Congratulations to those who ran, and to those who were successful.JACQUES DEMERS PRESIDENT CONFERENCE REGIONALE DES ELUS DE L'ESTRIE SHERBROOKE WINTER FAIR REMEMBERED DEAR EDITOR, n Monday, November 18 the (@ [ne Historical and Museum Society will host an hour of remembrances led by Richard Evans of the old Sherbrooke Winter Fair and Horse Show.For many years a feature of October life was the winter fair and horse show at the old arena and exhibition grounds, then operated by the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association.For several days breeders of livestock showed beef cattle, sheep and light horses, there also being a focus on animals ready for meat markets; sometimes referred to as \u201cthe fat stock show.\u201d All of those events are still fondly remembered by thosé who showed stock and those who as youngsters competed in showmanship and judging events.Unlike the summer fair there was no midway or grandstand shows or harness races so the smaller crowds who came were truly interested in the stock and the skills displayed in showmanship.In the evenings the old arena was home to a showing of light horses in saddle events, fancy gear, high stepping hackneys, ponies and jumping events.Then there were the auctions of prize slaughter steers and market lambs with market bragging rights going to buyers not just locally but from Montreal and beyond.Local and Montreal papers proudly proclaimed the availability of meat from these prize purchases.Among those expected to come and share memories will be Doug Page, Ardyth Painter Davidson, Beverley Bennett Loomis, Eldon Macdonald and Bob Laberge.Folk from across the area who also have recollections are invited to come to Uplands at 9 Speid Street in Lennoxville for 7 p.m.on Monday November 18.KATHY BIEBER UPLANDS 9, RUE SPEID,

The Record | newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2013 Page 7 Local Sports - Vieux-Montreal\u2019s only loss was to the Cougars back on Sep.29 when Cham- | plainre recorded a 25-14 victory.Cougars to meet Spartiates i in Bol d Or Champlain advances to championship match with solid win over Garneau By Mike Hickey Special to the Record LENNOXVILLE TT Champlain Cougars are heading to the Bol d'Or this Saturday after another convincing win, this time a 32- 13 semi-final victory over the F- X Garneau Elans at Coulter Field.The Cougars are now one win away from a provincial title and will meet the Vieux-Mon- treal Spartiates in Chicoutimi.Game time is 3 p.m.Champlain punched their ticket to the championship title with a solid team effort.Quarterback Philippe Giguere and running back Cedric Joseph led the offence, defensive lineman Cedric Lussier-Roy anchored an opportunistic defence and Dominic Levesque continued to show why he is the league\u2019s top kicker.Giguere was efficient as he completed 11 of 23 passes for 219 yards including a 68-yard touchdown strike to James Are- nas-Michel.Joseph ran for 217 yards on 20 carries with a pair of majors and Levesque\u2019s kick \u2018offs and punts allowed the Cougars to win the battle of field position throughout the game.Lussier-Roy had a game-high 10.5 tackles including a QB sack, one of five sacks recorded by the Champlain defence.The Cougars forced numerous turnovers including interceptions by Jonathan Boisson- neault-Glaou, Akeu-Atsa Landi and Hylton Trerell.Vieux-Montreal was the dominant team in regular season play with a 9-1 record while outscoring their opponents by an average of 20 points per game.Their only loss however was to the Cougars back on Sep.29 when Champlain recorded a 25-14 victory.The Spartiates high powered offence will certainly test the Champlain defence.Quarterback Hugo Henderson is a two- way threat who can beat a team with his arm or his legs.He led the league in most passing categories, had 23 TD passes with just five interceptions and also ran for 759 yards and had 13 rushing majors.Henderson\u2019s two favourite targets, Louis Mathieu Nor- mandin and Benoit Gagnon- Brosseau combined for over 1,550 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns.Champlain will also have to keep their eyes on running back Mike Brian Lusikila, the RSEQ\u2019s second leading rusher who ran for 946 yards and had seven TDs.Gaiters Men's Rugby close out season SHERBROOKE T=: Bishop\u2019s University Gaiters men\u2019s rugby team closed out their season on Friday night on Coulter Field.They beat the Concordia Stingers 38-18 and temporarily held the fourth and final playoff position.Unfortunately for the purple and silver when the Montreal Carabins defeated the Sherbrooke Vert et Or on Sunday the Gaiters were eliminated from the RSEQ University men\u2019s rugby playoffs.Bishop's was led by Nicolas Charlton (North Hatley) who scored two tries and converted four converts for 18 points.He and the Bishop's offence had struggled entering the contest; they had scored just 15 points in their previous five games.Their offensive explosion came too late in the season as they finish the year with a 2-6 record and 10 points.Montreal\u2019s win on the final day of the season gave them an identical 2-6 record; however thanks to an extra bonus point during the year, they finish with 11 points and grab fourth place.Montreal will face top ranked McGill while Sherbrooke travels to Concordia for the RSEQ semi-finals.Source: Marty Rourke Charlton named Athlete of the Week SHERBROOKE T= Bishop's University Department of Athletics and Recreation is pleased to announce that Nicolas Charlton, scrum half on the men\u2019s rugby team, has been named the Provigo Robert Lafond Athlete of the Week.Charlton, the North Hatley, native lead the Gaiters to a 38-18 win over second place Concordia on Friday night.The second year student lead Bishop's with 18 points, two tries and four converts.Honourable mentions - Majid Naji (Men\u2019s Basketball) - 18 points and 3 rebounds in the 81-55 win over UQAM.- Jenae Grayer (Women\u2019s Basketball) \u2014 19 points and 7 rebounds in the 69-56 loss to UQAM.Source: Clare Webb, Sports Information Writer.Nicolas Charlton.~ COURTESY BISHOP'S UNIVERSITY New Montreal mayor has public tiff with Habs The Canadian Press ontreal\u2019s newly elected mayor, who has a proven knack for getting in the news, has already had his first public run-in with the NHL hockey team.Denis Coderre, the former federal MP who was elected mayor on Nov.3, has drawn the ire of some Montreal Canadiens.During last nights game he tweeted: \u201cHello?Can we get a one-way ticket to Hamilton for David Desharnais please.\u201d It was a rather run-of-the-mill remark for a regular hockey fan.Countless numbers of them tweet running commentary on Habs games and many have criticized the play of the struggling forward.But this one drew a little more attention, coming from the mayor.The team was pushing back at Coderre on Monday.Forward Max Pacioretty called the comment embarrassing.Josh Gorges said it\u2019s wrong to kick someone when they're down.And coach Michel Therrien was quite critical.He may quietly agree with Coderre\u2019s assessment of Desharnais\u2019 play, given that he\u2019s been handing him less icetime lately _ but he doesn\u2019t welcome the comment.\u201cI really believe this is inappropriate from our mayor,\u201d said Therrien, who explained that he learned about the comment Monday morning.Coderre\u2019s outspokenness and penchant for grabbing the spotlight is a distant cry from the city\u2019s last elected mayor _ the understated, Harvard-educated Gerald Tremblay, who was eventually felled by a controversy over corruption at city hall.The first week alone has demonstrated that in abundance.In Coderre\u2019s first week since the election, he has already had a run-in with the Parti Quebecois provincial government over its religion charter; with the powerful mayor of Quebec City over a perceived slight to him; and now with the Montreal Canadiens.He also encouraged Toronto mayor Rob Ford last week to switch to \u201cDiet Coke.\u201d Page 8 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2013 production@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Datebook Death | | Death | | Death Today is the 316th day of 2013 and the Alan Frederick LIGHTFOOT 52nd day of autumn.Robert Bruce Alan Frederick Lightfoot, of St.Marys, LITTLE TODAY'S HISTORY: In 1969, journalist Seymour Hersh broke the story of the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam over The Associated Press wire service.In 1979, President Jimmy Carter ordered a halt to oil imports from Iran due to an ongoing hostage crisis.In 1997, Ramzi Yousef was found guilty of masterminding the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.In 1999, President Bill Clinton signed a bill allowing banks, brokerage firms and insurance companies to merge and provide one another\u2019s services for the first time since the start of the Great Depression.TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS: Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902), activist;
