five residences, an apartment building, a cottage and land.In addition, post-judgment writs of movable property were placed on five boats, three vintage cars, a motorcycle, and an all-ter- rain vehicle.These actions were made possible through the collaboration of the Estrie Mixed Regional Squad who provided information that led to the dismantling of drug trafficking networks in the region last June, under \u2018Operation Kayak.\u2019 Elements of the investigation sent to Revenue Quebec helped establish non-de- clared income of the subjects and the taxes due.Boucher, Pinard, Barriére, and Tremblay face charges of narcotics trafficking, production and possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking, and conspiracy.The growing collaboration between the police and Revenue Quebec Service is part of the government\u2019s determination to fight against organized crime and tax evasion.and Deshaies admitted that their mobs would not fit with the general tendency in flash mobs to be a surprise gesture, but said that the respective manage- meénts of the businesses they are working with are so positive about the plans that it doesn\u2019t really matter.\u201cThey're so motivated and passionate,\u201c Wang said.\u201cI can see that they're good students and they want to make a change in the community.\u201d She said that the intent is to carry the events on in a more surprising fashion as time goes on in order to show and develop the posi-, tive energy that such events can spread throughout the community, to show that Bishop\u2019s students care and they want to do good things.The two mobs, though independently organized, have been scheduled for almost the same time.Both will take place this coming Saturday afternoon, with the boutique Encore mob gathering at 178 Queen Street from 1 p.m.to 2 p.m., and the Doolittle\u2019s mob meeting in the lobby of the Student Union Building (SUB) on Bishop\u2019s Campus at 2 p.m.The Boutique Encore crowd is encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to contribute to the Women\u2019s Centre\u2019s \u201cBare Necessities\u201d project, while participants in the Doolittle\u2019s mob are asked to spend a minimum of five dollars to support the campus store.Come dressed in Hillbilly style and be eligible to win a prize.Hearty meal of Baked Beans & Ham, Country style, with coleslaw and rolls, coffee and tea will be served.Admisison: $15.or 2 for $25.100% of the funds raised go to help people with M.S in the area + Number of adults related person) PG.ON B= Fondation Rock-Guertin la faim justifie les moyens Dates for making a request: from November 4 to December 5, 2013 Details for making a request for a Panier de l\u2019Espoir (Basket of Hope) of the Fondation Rock-Guertin Information required for making a request for a Basket.\"~~ Note: For the request to be considered, all the information : concerning the situation must be supplied.Supply a letter describing the situation: » Name and full address (door number and street, apartment number, postal code and telephone number) * Number of children (sex and age for each) » Photocopy of proof of revenue and amount {social assistance, unemployment, independent worker\u2019s pension and others) * Supply a reference (name and telephone number of a non- » Social Assistance beneficiaries MUST supply a copy of the NO REQUESTS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2013.Distribution of Baskets: Friday, December 13, 2013 Fondation Rock Guertin -

as much as the V6-powered Honda Accord Sedan | tested a while back.: The 2013 Honda Civic Coupe Si HFP retails for $28,890.If you're looking for a more affordable version, the regular Civic Coupe starts at $18,645.Driving the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe Si HFP There's no denying that the various performance parts make a difference in terms of driving dynamics.Heck, | even considered bringing the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe Si HFP to my local track! You can feel the 201 horsepower at work, but acceleration is not quite as forceful as | expected.Unlike some 6-speed units whose final gear ratio aims to improve fuel economy on the highway, the manual in the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe Si HFP is responsive and dynamic in all six gears.At 60 km/h, with the box in third gear, the engine almost reaches 4,000 rpm - great for power delivery, not so much for your gas bill.While supportive, the seats are firm, and so is the suspension.What's more, the cabin is pretty noisy at speed.Of course, you don't buy a car like the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe Si HFP for its quiet demeanour.Inside and Out of the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe Si HFP The sporty, aerodynamic sithou- ette of the two-door 2013 Honda Civic Coupe Si HFP is arguably designed to appeal to young driving enthusiasts - even more so when you factor in the rear deck- lid spoiler, 18\u201d wheels, and body kit: this is the sort of look you either love or hate.Inside, | liked the driver-oriented centre stack, as well as the sharply raked windshield that makes the cockpit feel roomier because it stretches the top of the dashboard.Closest to the driver is the multi- function steering wheel, and behind it is the tachometer where about another foot away sits the digital speedometer, not to mention the i-VTEC indicator that lights up when you hit the right rev range.The problem is that | had to break from my ideal driving position to see the second row of data.There's an intelligent Multi- Information Display (i-MID) to the right of the speedometer, and another display in the middle of the centre stack for navigation and infotainment purposes.The small audio buttons frustrated me and | wished for a more user- friendly interface.On a related note, Biuetooth disappointed me yet again: | had to repeat half the words | spoke on the phone, and the device could not understand any of my voice commands.On the flip side, the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe Si HFP proves surprisingly spacious for all occu- \" pants, although the car's sporty design hinders cargo capacity.The 2013 Honda Civic Coupe Si HFP has the edge when it comes to content, reputation, and reliability, so it\u2019s a great deal when you buy, and when and if you decide to sell.Weedon: Planting the seeds for the next generation WEEDON joined forces to offer a unique event on the occasion

said Lucille L.Sering, the vice chair of the Philippines\u2019 Climate Commission, as the country struggled to cope with the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.\u201cThis is your early warning system.we will all eventually be victims of this phenomenon.\u201d A full week after the typhoon roared through the eastern Visayas, the number of people killed is still unknown.Ten thousand dead is the number being used in the media, but the area around Tacloban city alone may have lost that many.Many other parts of Samar and Leyte islands are still inaccessible to both media and aid workers.But the question that people are asking elsewhere is: will we really all become victims of this and similar phenomena?You can never attribute a particular weather event to climate change with complete confidence, but consider this.Among the large countries of the world, the Philippines is the one most exposed to tropical cyclones.Their tracks most often take them across northern Luzon or the eastern Visayas.They do a lot of damage, but by and large Filipinos have learned to ride them out.However, you cannot just ride out something like Haiyan.What did most of the killing in Samar and Leyte last week was not the high winds (although they stripped off almost every roof in the affected areas).It was the \u201cstorm surge\u201d that submerged coastal regions to the height of a two-story building.The pressure at the centre of the typhoon was so low that a \u201chump\u201d of water six metres (20 ft.) high was pushed up beneath the eye and travelled with it.Shelters are not much good against that sort of thing unless (as in Bangladesh) you start building them on on elevated platforms.Even then, you may decide that you want to move elsewhere if your city is going to be inundated and destroyed every ten years or so.The east coast of Luzon is very sparsely populated for precisely this reason, and this may be the future that awaits the eastern Visayas as well if storms of this scale become more frequent.The very worst typhoon that hit the Philippines since detailed records began in the 19th century was Thelma, which killed about 5,100 people in 1991.But of the next worst nine, all of which killed over a thousand people, six have happened in the past decade: 2004, 2006, 2008, 2011, 2012, and 2013.So Haiyan may really be an early warning of what is to come for any coastal area that is within a thousand km.(500 miles) of the usual tracks of tropical storms.At some point, people decide that it\u2019s just not worth living in such constant danger.They become, for want of a better word, \u201cclimate refugees.\u201d In some regions, it will be frequent mega-storms that drive them out.In other regions it will be drought and desertification, or heat so great that it kills the crops that people depend on.There are going to be a lot of refugees, with not many places that are willing to let them in.Lucille Sering is right: this is an early warning of how the warming will unfold, and what the impacts on human societies will be.But we are getting lots of early warnings, and so far we are managing to ignore them all.Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.Haiyan may really be an early warning of what is to come for any coastal area that.is within a thousand km.of the usual tracks of tropical storms.\u2014THE mm 1195 Galt

If you're going to do that, then the trip from \u201cAb\u201d to \u201cA\u201d is short and ridiculous.With \u201cRoss,\u201d there\u2019s really nowhere to go.Consequently, a small handful of people go the other way and lengthen it to \u201cRoscoe,\u201d while others lengthen it still further to \u201cthat big jerk Ross.\u201d My brother Andrew calls me \u201cRossy the Cow.\u201d He\u2019s the only one who does, and it\u2019s not something I encourage or fully understand.He started doing this in high school, and it was perhaps out of fear that it might actually stick that I attempted to self-lobby my own nickname: Moss.Moss Furry, if push came to shove.Of course, it didn\u2019t go anywhere because a) it was cringingly stupid and b) true nicknames are organic; you can\u2019t assign them to yourself.Nicknames emerge from characteristics or circumstances and are often beyond your control.There used to be an oldtimer in Stanstead named Poopy, and I doubt very much he picked that himself.After he died, his friends installed a granite _bench engraved in his memory, so next time you're in Stanstead, don\u2019t forget to sit a spell on the Poopy bench.Now that I'm a card-carrying adult, I'm at peace with knowing I'll never have a great nickname (and let\u2019s just keep that \u201ccow\u201d business under our hats, shall we?).What I can do is start planning my grandpa name.I'm thinking something hip that combines my unique first name and grandfatherli- ness.I'm thinking \u201cGross.\u201d STOVES | Comme and see our large choice of Gas, _ Wood and Pellet Burning Stoves and Fireplaces.x sr, = a RTE oe a LHDS0SS Gas Fropité\u2026 ™ maconnex.com RBQ 8273-3361-26 SHERBROOKE: 69, Godin road 819 ¢ 565- 7980 GRANBY: 1390, Principale street 450 777-2222 00 hn i MANTLES | CHIMNEYS i LOUNSELING SERVICES NEW Napoleon Wood Burning Stove 54 AN MACONNEX BOUTIQUE Ye z Page 8 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2013 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record Matthew Farfan Record Correspondent DERBY LINE merican retail giant Wal- Ar is one step closer to pening a big box superstore just a few kilometres south of the U.S.border in Derby, Vermont.No doubt counting on attracting bargain hunters from north of the bor- No doubt counting on attracting bargain hunters from * 3 north gr the border, as well as residents of the Northeast | Green light for Derby Walmart der, as well as residents of the Northeast Kingdom fed up with having to travel all the way to New Hampshire to buy underpants and other necessities, Walmart has long been pushing to get the green light to set up a store in Derby.Last week, news outlets across Vermont reported that Vermont Governor Peter Shum- lin had just announced that an agreement had been reached whereby Walmart would be allowed to open up an outlet in Derby.The measure still would have to get state and local approval.The store that Walmart would like to open up - a 150,000 square foot \u201cSuper- centre\u201d - would be located on land just off Route 5 in Derby.Up until now, the retail chain has faced stiff opposition from environmental groups and others that fear that the retailer will undercut nearby businesses and empty out downtowns.By the terms of the deal announced last week, news outlets report, the Vermont Natural Resources Council and\u201d Preservation Trust of Vermont will drop.their opposition to the project in exchange for a pledge from Walmart developer Jeff Davis not to pursue any more Walmarts in Vermont until at least 2020.Walmart will reportedly also have to pay $800,000 to help the City of Newport and other communities in the Northeast Kingdom adapt to the effects the new store will have on local businesses and downtowns.Fundraising quilt won Pancakes anyone?by lucky library patron PHOTO - COURTESY F NANCY RUMERY Haskell librarian Nancy Rumery presented long-time library patron Ed Hartman with his beautiful prize.Matthew Farfan e fabulous quilt that has been on display at the Haskell Free Library and Opera House for the last few months has been won by Derby Line resident Ed Hartman, who, along with his family have been devoted patrons of the library for many years.Each year for the past few years, the Haskell has raffled off a quilt, with all the proceeds going to support the library.From year to year, the quilts are the work of different quilters, and are donated to the library for the purpose of helping to raise some much needed funds.This year\u2019s quilt, a queen-size one, was especially beautiful, with unusual geometric designs and splendid colours.Sewn and donated by Noreen Hinton, it was quilted by Sharron Greenwood of Scrappy Patches.Hinton\u2019s design, \u201cCosmic Kaleidoscope,\u201d featured a vibrant centre medallion and matching border on a deep blue star-filled background and was inspired by \u201cKool Kaleidoscope,\u201d by Ricky Tims, and \u201c300 Paper Pieced Blocks,\u201d by Carol Doak.The Haskell Free Library and Opera House is a non-profit organization that serves the communities of the Vermont- Quebec border area.The pride of Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont, it was constructed deliberately on the boundary line separating Canada from the United States.Area residents rely on the library to access a range of services, materials and programs.New services and technologies are being added to support the lifelong learning experiences of local residents.Classified a historic site by the governments of Canada, the US.and the province of Quebec, this remarkable institution attracts visitors from around the world.In the opera house, most of the audience sits in the U.S.to watch a show on a stage in Canada.The entrance to the library is in the U.S., the circulation desk and all of the books are in Canada, and the reading room is international.The expenses related to operating the free public library service and to maintaining this unique heritage building are significant.Most of the Haskell\u2019s operating funds come from investment earnings.However, individual donations and fundraising projects such as the annual quilt raffle are desperately needed to supplement that income and to replenish the endowment for a sustainable future.This year\u2019s quilt raffle, according to Haskell president Claire Roberts, raised about $1,200 for the library.Winner Ed Hartman is delighted with his prize.Matthew Farfan e much-anticipated annual Christ | mas tea and boutique sale at the Colby-Curtis Museum is fast approaching, and staff and volunteers at the Stanstead Historical Society are urging people to mark their calendars for this early chance to get into the holiday spirit while supporting a local cultural institution.The tea, which will include all of the usual delicacies prepared on premises, Will take place during two consecutive weeks this year.It will take place on Thursday and Friday, Nov.21-22 (1 -
