It was shocking.It was outrageous.\u201cPeople should be able to interact freely in public spaces, particularly publicly funded places, without fearing that the person next to them is dead,\u201d the pundits declared in fraught, alarmist tones.\u201cWhat the dead do in their own homes is their own business, but they gave up the right to government services when they gave up breathing.\u201d The pundits were joined by a groundswell of people on the right who muttered (mostly online) about security threats, community values, odours.The dead had to be stopped, they stressed, before our schools and hospitals were filled with corpses.\u201cI have nothing against the dead, but.\u201d they wrote.Or: \u201cSome of my best friends are dead, but.\u201d Or: \u201cNo heartbeat?No service!\u201d I started with a body on a bus.This Or: \u201cThe problem with the dead is you can never tell what they\u2019re thinking.\u201d Looking to score political points with the living, the government rushed forward Bill 666: \u201cAn act to foster adherence to State non-mortality.\u201d The act declared that no one could give or receive government services if they happened to be dead.Critics on the left were appalled.They argued that the deceased were being unfairly persecuted.The chances of a dead person receiving services were extremely low, they pointed out, especially considering how difficult it was to receive services even among the living.And given how few documented cases there were of the dead demanding services, critics described the law as overkill.\u201cOne rotten body doesn\u2019t spoil the bunch,\u201d they claimed.Despite these misgivings, Bill 666 went into effect, and though the government had hoped that acting decisively would bury this controversy, the public failed to be satisfied.Not content to ban the dead from public services, people began targeting the sick and the elderly who seemed inclined to die.Protestors marched outside hospitals to stop the critically ill (or \u201cwould-be dead,\u201d as they were called) from receiving the services they needed in order to stop being critically ill.As a result, many of these patients died, proving the protestors\u2019 point.The public also fretted about the particularly vulnerable being indoctrinated by the dead.There were reports of mobs attacking black-clad teens reading Thirteen Reasons Why.The law, however, was effective; by no means did the dead receive any services during this time.Nonetheless, there were those who continued speaking up for the dead, telling their stories, which, frankly, weren\u2019t that interesting.There was a wave of online activism with the hash- tag #deadlivesmatter.People called on the dead to stop taking this matter lying down.\u201cIt is time,\u201d the sympathetic living called out, \u201cfor the dead to rise up! Rise up! Rise up!\u201d So the dead did.Out of their graves, the dead emerged \u2014 angry, frustrated, decomposing.They took to the streets, reminding some people of that Michael Jackson video, but with poorer special effects.As one, they marched (staggered, oozed) to the government legislature, where a megaphone was commandeered, and one among the dead came forward, lifted it to his frayed lips and, as a hush fell over the hordes, made his demands: \u201cNnnggARRBHH GLLRRrrr NNNNGGG! BLLGGGHHUUrr mmmNN- mmGNHH! NiCOlas CAGE!\u201d This last part is controversial.No one could say for sure that the spokesman for the dead had said \u201cNicolas Cage,\u201d but the dead had the living outnumbered, and, for lack of a better option, Nicolas Cage was summoned.The dead quickly devoured Nicolas Cage, which was understandable.In the ensuing rampage, the right contended that they had seen this coming, that the dead couldn\u2019t be trusted, while the left pointed out that none of this would have happened if the dead hadn\u2019t been disenfranchised, not to mention disemboweled.But it was all moot, as the dead quickly decimated the living until they were all, indeed, the dead.Taking over the legislature, the dead immediately repealed Bill 666, and three cheers went up - \u201cnnggh-ngghh GR- RNARRGHH! nnggh-ngghh GRRNAR- RGHH! nnggh-ngghh GRRNARRGHH!\u201d - as they celebrated their equality under the law and their full access to government services.Although it still takes forever to get a family

Candidates petitioned for position on active transport By Gordon Lambie nice way to spend a sunny summer afternoon.The members of one citizens group in Sherbrooke, however, want to see bicycling and walking take off as a major form of public transportation in the city and are asking those individuals who are running for a position on the city\u2019s municipal council to take a position on the matter.Representatives of local organizations ranging from the FEUS, the University of Sherbrooke\u2019s student union, to the CRE, the Eastern Townships\u2019 regional council for the environment, gathered together to present the results of an online petition on the subject of developing active transport in the city gathered at Sherbrooke\u2019s Carrefour de Solidarité Internationale earlier this week.While forming no unified group, the different organizations were brought together by their collective concerns and managed to solicit more than 1000 signatures for their petition in less than one month\u2019s time.The four demands laid out in the petition, entitled \u201cElections municipales 2017 : Faire du transport actif une priorité à Sherbrooke\u201d are for candidates to commit to: 1) Implement, as soon as possible, safe and practical bicycle routes to the city's major centers, such as the CHUS Fleuri- mont and the Université de Sherbrooke campus, primarily along major transit routes like King Street, Galt, Portland, ps many, a bike ride sounds like a any capital gain on the shares to be eliminated and you will also be entitled to a significant charitable donation

international \u201cvision zero\u201d approach to road safety, which aims for a road network with no fatalities or serious injuries, though the installation of more sidewalks, speed bumps, reduced speed zones, buffer zones, and narrowed roadways.4) Focus new development projects within the existing city limits to help concentrate population and bring people and services closer together.Sherbrooke already has a master plan for active transport development, but those speaking on Monday explained that they do not feel the city has prioritized the option, and that the failure to do so has a negative effect on many aspects of local society.\u201cWe are not alone in thinking that Sherbrooke should make this a policy priority,\u201d said Laurence Mailhiot, spokesperson for the signatories of the petition.The groups backing the petition argued in favour of active transport using positions that ranged from the fact that walking and cycling is better for peoples\u2019 health than driving, to the fact that it is better for the environment and just takes up less space than cars.Dr.Eric Lampron-Goulet of the public health department of the CIUSSS de

enouveau Sherbrookois Mayoral R conde Bernard Sévigny and vet- ran Ascot councillor Robert Pouliot are both under fire from opponents after ethical questions have been raised.Independent Sherbrooke mayoral candidate Steve Lussier is calling on incumbent Mayor Bernard Sévigny to withdraw his candidacy for mayor, citing a complaint filed by Councillor Jean-Francois Rouleau with the Commission municipale du Québec.\"Under the circumstances, I request the immediate withdrawal of his candidacy for Mayor of Sherbrooke by Mr.Bernard Sévigny,\" Lussier wrote in a public statement.The complaint by Rousseau alleges that the mayor broke the project management rules laid out by the city and the Code of Ethics for elected officials when handing out a contract for the Well Inc.project without calling for tenders.\"Today, I do not like what I just learned.\u201d Lussier said, \u201cMy request for a moratorium on [Well Inc.| is now justified.I was concerned about the lack of transparency in this file, the lack of a business plan.and the unusual way in which the contracts were set up.I was right and I stood up despite the doubts of some people.\" Lussier points out that a part of his platform calls for an in depth review of the Well Inc.file and that he will bring \"the necessary corrective measures so that this project does not become a white elephant for citizens\" and that he will support \"the renovation of the Wellington St.South sector, respecting Sherbrooke citizens\u2019 capacity to pay.In the meantime, Renouveau Sher- brookois councillor Robert Pouliot is also facing complaints at the Commission municipale du Québec filed by mayoral candidate Denis Pellerin who in September, raised the fact that the veteran Ascot's representative did not fully disclose his financial interest when it comes to Well Inc.'s records or the contracts awarded to the business owned by his sons.Pellerin had previously raised these concerns about Pouliot's ethics at the September 5 city council meeting.In his complaint, Pellerin brought up printing contracts awarded to Bob Pouliot Office Equipment (2002) in 2011.He also conducts the census of resolutions concerning Well inc.since 2016.\"I filed my complaint before I became a candidate,\u201d Pellerin says.\u201cIt's very \\Renouveau\u2019 not to declare his interest.I had noticed that Mr.Pouliot did not always declare his interest in the file of printers supplied to the City by his sons' company.With Well Inc., it was too much.He should have declared his interest, not because of the company, but because of the building he owns [and from which he could benefit from the revitalization of Wellington Street South].\" Pellerin says he isn\u2019t counting on any sanctions against Pouliot, saying.\"l don\u2019t expect much, because I don\u2019t think the decision will come out before the elections.\" In September, Municipal Clerk Isabelle Sauvé indicated that the interpretation of the law had been verified and that.Pouliot was not in a conflict of interest and Pouliot said he had no interest in his sons' business.\u201d Pellerin also complained to the Chief Electoral Officer following a Facebook publication sponsored by the Sherbrooke Transportation Corporation (STS), which he said was promoting candidate Bruno Vachon, who is also president of the STS.Longpre sentenced, fined, for illegally importing liquid nicotine Record Staff SHERBROOKE to spend 45 days behind bars after pleading guilty to illegally importing liquid nicotine into Canada.Sylvain Longpré, owner of the Vapor- ium store at Galeries Quatre Saisons, pleaded guilty to having provided false information regarding the importation of pure liquid nicotine before Court of Quebec Justice Conrad Chapdelaine on Wednesday Longpré had contacted a Chinese company to import 99.8 percent pure liquid nicotine into the country.He acknowledged having known the success rate of importing such products into Canada from the company, which had provided him with an explanatory sheet of the chemical under which liquid nicotine would be imported in order in order to bypass Canada Border Services agents.Between November 2013 and May 2014, Longpré made six transactions with the Asian company to import 300 to 400 kilos of liquid nicotine, valued at about $300 USD per kilo.Crown prosecutor Frank D'Amours, explained to the court that a milliliter of liquid nicotine was equivalent to one cigarette, giving the substance confiscated from Longpré equivalent to about 400,000 cigarettes.Longpré also pleaded guilty to introducing or attempting to illegally introduce dutiable goods, the importation of which is prohibited.These events took place at the East Hereford and Stanstead border crossing on June 9 and 20, 2014, where Longpré failed to declare flasks containing 50 ml of liquid nicotine at two percent by volume.In addition to the 45-day jail term that will be served every other weekend over a six-month probationary period, Longpré will have to pay a $10,000 fine within the next 12 months.\"This is a relatively rare charge.This is the first time that I have imposed a penalty for importing liquid nicotine in A Sherbrooke businessman will have 15 years.It is a sentence that seems reasonable to me under the circumstances,\" said Chapdelaine in imposing the sentence.Christian Longpré, who was vice-pres- ident of Vaporium, also acknowledged his guilt for illegally importing liquid nicotine that took place on January 6, 2015, at the Stanstead border crossing, In a rented cube vehicle, he provided a false statement and during the search of his vehicle, border services officers found 80 liters of over 99 percent pure nicotine valued at approximately $15,000.He received a four-month community sentence and a $2,500 fine.Sylvain Longpré also says that the $27.8 million civil suit he filed in 2014 against the Attorney General of Canada, Health Canada, and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for damages he suffered as a result of the search and seizure and the charges against him and his companies have been put on ice for financial reasons.Longpré filed this suit in his own

The actual going door-to-door that followed later in the evening was subject to the same intense planning and co-ordi- nation as the D-Day invasion of France in 1944.You see, we lived on a dirt road where the houses were spread rather thinly over a large area and on top of Te time of year I find myself get- that each potential donor had to be rated as to the expected quality of gift.We knew from experience which home would offer the much-prized \u201cstore bought\u201d candy, which household would proffer home-made fudge and where you could expect rice crispy squares or, heaven forbid, a simple apple.From there we plotted our route.It was designed to hit the best stops first even if this entailed doubling back to pick up the second-tier treats later in the evening.We also had to take into consideration younger siblings who were dutifully dragged along and urged forward with the constant admonition to \u201churry up.\u201d Nothing was left to chance.By the time we reached the age when parental accompaniment was no longer required, we had come to the realization that the old paper bag with its two spindly handles was a non starter.It was far too small and subject to tearing at the least convenient moment.Some children searched out a plastic bag \u2014 a rare commodity in those days \u2014 but the truly professional among us opted for the pillow case.In most instances this was not a problem since my mother always seemed to have a few extra on hand that she allocated for once-a-year Hallowe\u2019en use.A minor difficulty arose occasionally when a candy apple or a piece of fudge slipped free of its wrapper and more or less became a permanent part of the bag.The most important aspect of the entire evening came later, however, when we returned home.The accumulated loot was dutifully dumped onto the kitchen table and the \u201ctrading\u201d began.Each of us had our favorites and each had particular dislikes.Like traders in a Tangiers market place we haggled over each piece.\u201cI'll give you five candy kisses for a piece of Mrs.Wallace\u2019s fudge.\u201d \u201cI hate candy kisses.Give me a tootsie roll and I'll give you two pieces of peanut brittle.\u201d And so it went, long into the evening until all were satisfied and it was time for bed.In case you\u2019re wondering, yes, we did eat some of our ill-gotten gains but only one or two pieces.The rest, at my mother\u2019s insistence, was doled out a little at a time over the next few weeks.But oh it was fun!

Letters Dear Editor; Re: It\u2019s time to nix neonics, Sherbrooke Record, Oct.25 2017 t is time to stop the hyperbolic warnings about bee health and neoni- J coined pesticides.In recent years, there have been many attempts to vilify this important class of pesticides.Each time we get beyond scratching the surface, it becomes apparent the studies are rife with bias and misinformation.The fact of the matter is honeybee colony numbers in Canada continue to increase to unprecedented levels \u2014 at the same time that farmers have chosen to use neonic-treated seed to protect their crops.According to the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists, bee colonies increased by 27 per cent from 2007 to 2016.Suzuki and other activist groups conveniently overlook these facts and others that do not neatly fit into their fear- mongering narrative.Before any pesticide can be sold in Canada, it must be approved by Health Canada.Canada\u2019s regulatory process is stringent, world-renowned, and ensures all pesticides that are used in Canada are safe for both people and the environment.The pollen and nectar from neonicotinoid-treated plants is extensively tested, and time and time again pesticide residue levels are well below any level of concern for bees or humans.It is possible to detect residue at tiny amounts - but this does not mean there is danger.Truth be told, David Suzuki is opposed to modern agriculture in general.History has shown us if he wasn\u2019t complaining about neonicotinoids, he would just be criticizing some other tool used by Canada\u2019s innovative farmers.The implications of eliminating neonicotinoids would include lost crops for farmers, resulting in higher costs for consumers; harsher demands on the environment, as more land would be needed to grow the same amount of food; and less crops to be exported to a hungry world.Surely David Suzuki shares these goals with the agriculture community?SINCERELY, PIERRE PETELLE PRESIDENT, CROPLIFE CANADA The Record welcomes your letters to the editor.Please limit your letters to 300 words.We reserve the right to edit for length, clarity, legality and taste.Please ensure there is a phone number or email where you can be reached, to confirm authorship and current town/city of residence.Names will not be withheld but the address and phone number of the writer are not published, except by request.Preference is given to writers from the Eastern Townships.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER D pressreader PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW The Record newsroom(@sherbrookerecord.com THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2017 Page 7 The Border Report As a matter of interest, our Campaign last year in our region collected close to 6000$ FRONTIER ANIMAL SOCIETY Featured yler is a happy and friendly 8 | month old pup who loves a good belly rub.Tyler is a great young dog who is well behaved overall but he sometimes gets a little over excited when outdoors for his walks and playtime.He is probably little bored.Tyler gets his daily walk, some one-on-one playtime in our dog park and he is outdoors in a large grassy pen most of the day but he is a puppy and he needs more attention and activity than we can provide.What Tyler requires is a motivated adopter who is prepared to put in the time and effort to give him the exercise, training and mental stimulation he needs.He was superbly behaved during his recent photo shoot and clearly loved the extra attention he was getting.Smart, engaged and eager to please, with a consistent and committed training regimen, Tyler will be on track in no pet: Tyler time.He loves hanging out with people and he'll be much happier in a home.If you are looking for an invested walking or hiking partner Tyler is your guy.He also loves to play ball.Best of all, at the end of the day, he'll be equally happy to chill with you on the couch.The reality is, every dog benefits from training and it's a great way to build a relationship and create a bond with your newly adopted dog.It's a win, win in our books.Tyler is a good dog with a good heart, he just needs someone to help guide him from puppyhood to becoming a well rounded and mature adult dog.Tyler is dog friendly and seems fine with cats.Think Tyler might be a good match?Have specific questions?Please send an email to frontieranimalsociety@gmail.com or better yet give our adoption coordinator Brenda a call at 819.876.7747 any day of the week between 8 a.m and 8 p.m.PHELPS AIDE © PHELPS HELP S | ee a \u2019 ~~ Co ar ET - By Clea Corman igh school can be tough, espe- How going from a small rural town to a large regional high school.Everything seems big, foreign and unknown.For students in the Stanstead area, taking a bus to Galt or La Ruche can take over an hour, one way.Imagine finishing a long day of school at the age of 13, having to ride the bus for an hour and then starting homework.For the first couple of years at Phelps, we would remark on the dedication of the small group that would faithfully come to Phelps every week, knowing full well that many were already exhausted, both mentally and physically, by the time they walked through our doors.For those who did not attend, it must have seemed like the easier choice to not always get their work done; some were able to skate by, whereas others did not.We are pleased to say, at Phelps, that this fall has been incredible.We have participation numbers like we have never seen before: students are getting off the bus in droves, stomping down the sidewalk and coming in to Phelps smiling, ready to work.We used to peer out the window, hoping for just a few kids to get off the bus; now, we do a double-take at the large groups coming towards Phelps.These students are being brave and taking charge of their own futures, making those crucial first choices and deciding, whether they realize it or not, that doing your work and finishing high school is important.Phelps Aide Phelps Helps is an educa- gion, Branch 128, will be holding its annual Poppy Campaign from October 27 to November 11th.Through the purchase of poppies, Canadians support the services offered by the Legion and clearly demonstrate the gratitude we owe to so many Canadians who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.As a matter of interest, our Campaign last year in our re- Ts Ayer\u2019s Cliff Royal Canadian Le- Annual Poppy Campaign begins tomorrow Brigadier-General Pol Bergevin (Ret\u2019d), 2nd Vice- President Branch 128, Dianne Saanum, President Branch 128, Alec Van Zuiden, Mayor of Ayer\u2019s Cliff , Brigadier-General Robin Gagnon (Ret\u2019d) Vice-President, Branch 128, Denis Ferland ,Mayor of Hatley.Mr Gilbert Ferland, Mayor of Stanstead East was unable to attend.gion collected close to 6000$ which was distributed throughout the year to support our Veterans, serving military and their families.The Armistice ceremony will be held in Magog at 11 am on November 10th , in Hatley on November 11th at 11 am and in Ayer\u2019s Cliff on November 12th in front of the Cenotaph at 11 a.m.COURTESY tional non-profit striving to reduce the elevated drop-out rate in the Stanstead area.Phelps was started in 2012 by two community members, and has grown from a single program to seven unique programs, providing Stanstead area students with free tutoring, educational and career support and hands-on learning from Grade 3 to the end of high school and further.Phelps\u2019 high school sessions are aver- aging 20 students per evening, and many benefit from one-on-one attention.We therefore are actively seeking new volunteers, specifically on Tuesday afternoons.If you have a couple of hours a month to spare and like helping others, please consider joining our dynamic group of volunteers to contribute to the success of Phelps\u2019 programs!

not perfect,\u201d says FQM President Richard Lehoux, \u201cbut it is nevertheless a clear signal in favor of equality between men and women.Obviously, under the circumstances, the application of the

criteria for accommodation already correspond to those identified by the courts.Several public bodies, starting with educational institutions, already apply such criteria.\"For the Federation, the

clarify Bill 62 The Canadian Press peared incredulous Wednesday at Quebec's efforts to clear up confusion surrounding its law on religious neutrality, which is widely seen as targeting Muslim women who wear face veils.The province's justice minister said last week Bill 62 would oblige people riding a bus or the subway to do so with their face uncovered for the entire journey.On Tuesday, however, Stephanie Vallee backtracked, saying only those whose fare requires a card with photo ID will need to uncover their face before riding public transit _ and that they can put the veil back on once they've been identified.Asked specifically in Ottawa about Vallee's clarifications, Trudeau replied: \" \u201cYou call those clarifications?\" Phe Minister Justin Trudeau ap- \u201cI think we're seeing there are still a lot of things to clarify in this bill, including how it will be applied,\" Trudeau said.- \u201cWe will do our homework here in Ottawa.As I've said several times, I don't think a government should be telling a woman what to wear or not wear.\" Immediately after Quebec passed Bill 62, Trudeau was hesitant to come out strongly against the legislation.He said the responsibility to challenge the law lied with citizens, not the federal government.Trudeau, however, has become more critical since his initial comments, suggesting the law violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.He has also refused to rule out his government's involvement in any future Bill 62 court challenge.\u201cI will always defend the charter,\" Trudeau said.\u201cIwill

our opinion,\" she told reporters in Quebec City.\u2018And he has the right to have an opinion on the law.But I am not going to get into a debate in the media about that.\u201cBut I am really confident that the law is constitutional and I am convinced that it would withstand any legal challenge.\" When asked if Quebec is willing to use the so-called notwithstanding clause, which allows provinces to override the Constitution, she said, ~~ We're not there yet.\" \"The notwithstanding clause is not part of the debate because there is no legal challenge so far,\" she added.Record Staff

Jones has added Wales under- 20 coach Jason Strange to his staff for Canada's November test matches.Canada, ranked 24th in the world, is due to host the Maori All Blacks in Vancouver on Nov.3 before heading to Europe for matches with No.12 Georgia, No.19 Spain and No.9 Fiji.The Canadian men are gearing up for a World Cup qualifying series against No.18 Uruguay in January.Strange will return to his Welsh duties after the November tour.\u201cThis is an exciting opportunity for me to coach at senior international level against some quality opposition,\" Strange said in a statement.\u201cI'm extremely grateful to the (Welsh Rugby Union) and Canada for allowing me to take it up.I feel it's something that will offer me some new insights and allow to me return a better coach.At the same time, I'll be able to offer Canada a new voice and a different perspective on certain things.\" The move strengthens the ties between both governing bodies, who have for November test matches collaborated on several projects in the past and exchanged talent.Jones is a former Wales captain who worked for the Welsh Rugby Union, tasked with identifying and recruiting talent to the pro game in Wales.Geraint John, Wales' current head of rugby performance, used to coach the Canadian men's sevens side and was high performance manager at Rugby Canada.Canada's Walk of Fame to add Donovan Bailey,

can et Canada past Uruguay and into the 2019 Rugby World Cup _ a lot of attention from back home.Hired last month as the new head coach of the Canadian men's national team, the Welshman had been identifying talent for his country's rugby union when he accepted the new position on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.As he started to tell colleagues about the move, most of Jones' conversations veered towards the fact the winner of the two-legged tie between Canada and Uruguay set for early next year will be placed in the same World Cup pool as Wales.Welsh Rugby Union chairman Gareth Davies had a simple message for Canada's new boss.\u201cThe first thing he says is, You can go, but you don't beat Wales,\" Jones recalled with a laugh.\u201cIt was on their radar, it was on everyone's radar straight away.\" Jones was in Vancouver on Tuesday to meet the media as part of the announcement that Canada, ranked 24th in the world, will host the first leg of the aggregate qualifying series against No.18 Uruguay at B.C.Place Stadium on Jan.27.The return fixture goes in South America on Feb.3.Jones enters his new role in the deep end after Canada missed out on a chance to qualify for the World Cup earlier this year in a two-legged series with the United States.Canada and the U.S.tied 28-28 in Hamilton before the Americans thumped their neighbours 52-16 in San Diego to grab the region's first qualifying spot.That demoralizing setback led to the dismissal of Canadian head coach Mark Anscombe, and last month's hiring of Jones, who sees a lot of potential, but understands the challenges he faces.\u201cThe issues in international rugby is everyone moves forward, and if you stand still, you're dead,\" said the former Welsh captain, who coached Russia from 2011 to 2014.\u201cI'm fully confident that with the players we can bring back into the environment, we can do the job.\" A number of players will be based at Rugby Canada's facility in Langford, B.C, while many of the more talented or well- established members of the squad will continue to ply their trades professionally overseas.\u201cThere will be surprises,\" said Jones.\u201cThe biggest thing is to have centralized players and to get your hands on them and coach them.\" Canada has never missed the World Cup, but has also never been ranked this low.Should the Canadians lose on aggregate over two legs to Uruguay, there will be one more opportunity to qualify via a repechage.\u201cI've got my eyes wide open.I know what it is,\" said Jones.\u201cIf I didn't think we could (make the World Cup), Il would- n't have taken that option.I'd like to think I can help.\u201cI've got a short space of time.If I tried to come in here and reinvent the wheel, we aren't going to improve anything.\" Jones, who played and coached in Wales and England at club level, will get his first in-person look at Canada as head coach on Nov.3 at B.C.Place against the Maori All Blacks.He's been engrossing himself in his new team since taking the job by breaking down hour after hour of video.\u201cI've watched the last 16 games,\" said Jones.\u201cSix or eight of those games, I've watched in total detail _ first about the team pattern and then about individuals.\" Anscombe's test record with Canada was just 2-11-1 in his 16 months on the job, but he never really got a chance to field his full team because of injuries and club commitments.Jones wants to make sure there's no debate where allegiances lie.\u201cYou can't select when you want to play for your country,\" he said.\u201cI'll be finding players that will walk to Georgia to play.It can't be a comfort zone for people.Give people an easy option, they'll take it more often than not.\u201cYou have to make sure the players are on their toes.No one

open an old bottle of olive oil and it smells rancid, you definitely shouldn\u2019t use it for cooking or salad dressing, but you also shouldn\u2019t toss it into the trash.Rancid oil is still useful around the house.Grab a soft rag and use olive oil to condition leather furniture, belts and bags.Also, use the oil and rag to help moisturize wicker and rattan furniture; it\u2019ll help prevent the

Daughter being bullied THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2017 Dear Annie: My daughter, an eighth-grader, had always enjoyed going to school until recently.She has many friends and has always received straight A\u2019s.My wife and I have heard from some of her friends\u2019 parents that she is being bullied by two of the popular girls, both online and with gossip behind her back.We have no evidence of the online bullying, as it has been erased.My daughter confirms the bullying and says one of the girls even gets in her face at school, flips her off and calls her names.She doesn\u2019t want us to get involved, because she thinks that would make it even worse, so she goes about her business, smiles and attempts to be cordial with the girls.I see these two often at sporting events, and we have spoken to the mother of one of them before, so I am considering speaking to her about it despite my daughter\u2019s wishes.Their fathers are out of the picture; one is in jail.And neither mother seems to have much control or the ability to enforce discipline, so I don\u2019t know whether my discussion would make a difference.Should I speak to the girls themselves (individually) Dear Annie in a nonconfrontational way about why they are doing this?Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this situation?\u2014 Desperate Dad Dear Desperate Dad: Your daughter needs help, but only in a way that comes from someone else.Have you talked to her teachers or school administrators?Most schools are determined to prevent bullying.The adults need to be sensitive of the need to keep you and your daughter out of it so it doesn\u2019t look as if your daughter came crying to Daddy to fight her battles.At the same time, encourage the school administrators to talk to your daughter\u2019s friends and their parents to find out the facts so they can confront the bullies to make sure they stop.If they don\u2019t, you might consider finding a new school.There are too many stories involving teenage bullying that have tragic endings.Your awareness and sensitivity are extraordinary and might well save your daughter from something serious.Dear Annie: My wife and I were discussing a reply we have noticed from young adults recently.When we are waited on in stores, restaurants and the like, these young people respond to our \u201cthank you\u201d with \u201cno problem.\u201d After many years of using and hearing \u201cyou\u2019re welcome\u201d as the appropriate response, this answer \u2014 indicating that we are being done a favor \u2014 is a bit grating.Granted, this is not an earth-shaking event, but nonetheless we both find it less than appropriate.Could you give us your thoughts on this linguistic change?\u2014 Out of Touch Dear Out of Touch: This is a generational thing.Whereas baby boomers say \u201cyou\u2019re welcome,\u201d millen- nials say \u201cno problem.\u201d They mean the same thing.As someone who grew up hearing \u201cyou\u2019re welcome,\u201d you find it grating when someone says \u201cno problem\u201d because you interpret it to mean that the person thinks he or she has done you a favor.But that is almost certainly not what the person means.Ask any young person.When young people say \u201cno problem,\u201d they are really saying, \u201cIt\u2019s nothing.No need to thank me.I was happy to serve you.\u201d If you interpret it that way, you\u2019ll feel a lot better about it.Send your questions for Annie Lane to: dearannie@creators.com.p pressreader PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY O COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW RIGINAL COPY The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2017 Page 13 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present.Each letter in the cipher stands for another.\u201cE VJS'N GMLZZW ILRM KJGMYEHIN LY LS LONJG LY KLG LY OLGMMG NGLXMONJGW \u2014 E XCYN YNEOP NJ SJ-DGLESMG YENCLNEJSY.\u201d \u2014 LVLB VGERMG Previous Solution: \u201cDick Gregory and Jerry Lewis were two of the funniest, most legendary .entertainers of our generation.\u201d \u2014 Margaret Cho TODAY'S CLUE: Dsienbs H REALITY CHECK ES (SNOWMAN HALLOWEEN COSTUMES: À PUNKEE YUNRE sl KNIFE THRU VAMPIRE (pag THE HEAD GUN HERMAN FrosT Bie ?5] HERMAN?10-26 © LaughingStock Licensing Inc., Dist.by Andrews McMeel Syndication for UFS, 2017 \u201cDo you want the instructions?\u201d ALLEY OOP | CAN'T BELIEVE ET I JUST SAW TWO, BUT THEY % LET ME YSEUNTHER?!

diabetes; a history of early heart attacks among immediate family members; elevated levels of an inflammatory marker called cardiac CRP; age; obesity; kidney problems; and, of course, gender.Men simply have a greater incidence of heart attacks than women.Now let\u2019s look at the numbers.Both you and your husband have a high HDL, the so-called \u201cgood\u201d cholesterol.People with low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 in men and less than 50 in women) have a greater risk of heart attacks.Elevated LDL, the so-called \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol, is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis.Studies have shown a decrease in heart attacks and strokes in those with risk factors for atherosclerosis who lower LDL cholesterol with medication.Many doctors use a calculation based on age, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure and smoking history to determine a 10-year risk of having a heart attack, stroke or heart failure.The assessment that these doctors make is this: If the calculation shows that a person has a greater than 7.5 to 10 percent risk over a 10-year period, then they should be on a medication to lower cholesterol.Your husband\u2019s risk, based on other factors, may have put him at a level for which treatment was deemed necessary.That said, the science behind the risk calculator is not strong and is, in fact, based on older data.A recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology tracked 307,000 patients from 2008 through 2013 \u2014 complete with a five-year follow-up \u2014 and found, preliminarily, that the assessment calculators significantly overestimated risk.Thus, many patients may be placed on statins based on an inaccurate calculation.To your point about physicians, however, some doctors are indeed more likely to treat an elevated LDL cholesterol than others.So, while your husband may have other risk factors that would lead a physician to prescribe a statin, if you're still concerned about your cholesterol numbers, I would suggest you discuss this with your physician.Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.= TP ~ BECOME A VOLUNTEER: Z| 1-877-356-3226 > , MAKE A 2 | DONATION: ~ ( IE TENE Canadian Red Cross Quebec Division r Entreprises ))REGENCY GALL Cacroix \u2026\u2026- FIREPLACE PRODUCTS DENVE + Ao > www.ajrlacroix.ca 10229, boul.Bourque, Sherbrooke 819-843-4744 BALANCE Until November 27, 2017 w $60 p pressreader PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREA PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW "]
