reading and writing.But literacy also means understanding concepts such as math skills.November is Financial Literacy Month, a time to provide the tools and information for people to manage their money and debt wisely, save for the future, and understand their financial rights and responsibilities.In the spirit of Financial Literacy Month, Townshippers\u2019 Association is teaming up with Literacy in Action (LIA) to present an information session on basic income tax.Because the Association has been offering a free income tax filing service for low-income earners for over 10 years, it can call upon experience and the types of questions asked by people using the service.This workshop will discuss the impor- tance of filing taxes in a timely manner and will look at the various forms needed by the federal and provincial governments to file income taxes.You\u2019ll also learn what information you will receive following submission of your tax return, such as the Notice of Assessment which 1s a very important document to keep! Need to call Revenue Canada or Revenue Quebec?Find out what information to have on hand to identify yourself before placing that call.Finally, the workshop will look at various types of income tax fraud.That phone call you received about owing money or getting a huge refund, it\u2019s not true! This free workshop is offered twice, once in the afternoon workshop from 1 to 3 pm on Monday, November 13, and in the evening workshop on Tuesday, November 21 from 6 to 8 pm, at the Literacy in Action office, 7 Connolly in Lennoxville.While we welcome general questions, unfortunately, we will not be able to answer questions specific to your particular tax return during the workshop.For more information, or to register for the workshop, contact LIA at 819-346- 7009 or info@lia-estrie.org.You can also contact Evelina Smith, at Townshippers\u2019, at 819-566-2182 or

representative of the party, Evelyne Beaudin, will be a member of the city Tee past Sunday marked the first council over the next four years.\u201cThe results are mainly positive,\u201d Beaudin told The Record, noting that even if only one candidate was elected, the campaign provided a great opportunity for the people of Sherbrooke to get to know the party, its ideas, and the people associated with it.Sherbrooke Citoyen campaigned on promises of transparency and citizen involvement in the political process that will be challenging for Beaudin to carry in council alone, but the new councilor for the Carrefour District said that she is not concerned so long as the ideas behind the party get out into the general public.\u201cWe are all in the same boat,\u201d Beaudin said of her fellow

to see fellow representatives of Sherbrooke citoyen on the Council, Beaudin said that she was pleased to see that people voted for change in the city.Asked if she was concerned about the effectiveness of a council made up completely of independent voices, the councilor said she was not.\u201cIn the end everything comes down to a majority vote,\u201d Beaudin said.The Record reached out to Sherbrooke Citoyen party leader Helene Pigot for a comment on the future Cof the party following Sunday\u2019s election, but received no response.Pigot came in third place in the race of mayor after Steve

mayoralty By Matthew McCully a rivalry between mayoral candidates Louis Veillon and Jacques Marcoux.On Sunday, Marcoux won the position from Veillon by a margin of 68 votes.Only one of the four incumbent councillors in the race, André Ducharme, retained a position on council.The other five seats went to fresh faces.In addition to having a history of tight political races, Potton also boasts a voter turnout much higher than the average municipality.In 2013, the voter turnout was 66.3 per cent, roughly 12 per cent above the provincial average.This year, the turnout in the municipality was

2013 election, Veillon was successful, winning over Marcoux by a margin of 10 votes.On Sunday, the community decided to Give Marcoux another mandate, his third as mayor of Potton.In the weeks before the election, Marcoux told The Record that the potential sale of Owl\u2019s Head was the main issue that the municipality has to address at the moment.\u201cI'm pro development, but it should be in a

The Record HDITORIAL Democracy works \u2014 if we participate.But it doesn\u2019t function well if we forfeit our rights to corporate interests.SCIENCE MATTERS Government for the people, not fossil fuel corporations By David Suzuki sponsibility.But I wish politicians would take their responsibility to voters more seriously.We elect them to represent us.Sometimes our interests coincide with corporate priorities.After all, corporations create jobs and economic opportunities and often develop products and services citizens need.Corporations can\u2019t vote, but by putting enormous amounts of money into campaigns and lobbying, they can hijack the political agenda.That\u2019s the case with the fossil fuel industry \u2014 the most profitable in human history.It\u2019s taken such hold on the U.S.that the current administration refuses to accept advice and research from climate scientists, biologists, military experts, economists and others who warn that continuing to burn fossil fuels will steer us to climate catastrophe, with horrendous impacts on agriculture, human migration, health, security, the economy and resources, and that failing to act will be far more costly and lacking in economic opportunity than confronting the challenge.Canadians shouldn\u2019t be smug.Although most of our elected representatives acknowledge climate change and the need to act, some have been compromised by the fossil fuel industry.Many people expected changes in 2015 when the Liberals won the federal election and the NDP won Alberta\u2019s election.The new governments said the right things and came up with reasonably good plans but then continued to approve and promote fossil fuel development and infrastruc- Jens voting a privilege and a re- ture to the extent that one has to question whether they understand the urgency of the climate crisis.As former Alberta Liberal Party leader and Oil\u2019s Deep State author Kevin Taft writes in a Maclean\u2019s article, \u201cThe link between fossil fuels and global warming has been known since the 1980s, and so has the solution to global warming: phasing out fossil fuels.Rather than ac cepting the science and adapting to other sources of energy, the oil industry has developed an aggressive campaign to obscure the science and advance its own interests.\u201d In Oil\u2019s Deep State, Taft outlines how the oil industry worked to influence governments and their bureaucracies, as well as public institutions like universities.From the 1980s and into the \u201990s, Taft writes in Maclean\u2019s, \u201cUniversity and government scientists conducted research; civil servants prepared plans and legislation to reduce emissions; political parties committed to action; and Canada\u2019s Parliament endorsed international climate change agreements.\u201d Then the Harper government pulled out of the Kyoto Protocol, cut research funding and silenced scientists.Since their 2015 election, the federal Liberals and Alberta NDP have maintained support for fossil fuel projects and infrastructure.In early October, federal environment commissioner Julie Gelfand gave the government a failing grade on climate change, noting only five of 19 government departments she looked at had even assessed climate risks and how to deal with them.Taft also examines how oil money has compromised universities\u2019 indepen- Tr a TV Sù CO) | > et

funding for the University of Calgary created conflicts of interest, compromised academic freedom and gave the company influence over decision-making.It\u2019s not the first time the University of Calgary has been caught up in oil industry scandals.In 2004, political science professor Barry Cooper set up research accounts to secretly funnel donations, mostly from oil and gas industries, to the misnamed group Friends of Science for its efforts to dispute climate science and reject the Kyoto Protocol.Taft also examines the case of Bruce Carson, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Stephen Harper who was appointed to set up an energy institute at the University of Calgary and later convicted on three counts of illegal lobbying on behalf of the oil industry.In a Desmog Blog interview, Taft says, \u201cThe universities, starting in the 1960s, were the foundation of much of the scientific research underlying global warming.To win the battle and delay action on global warming, the oil industry needed to gain influence in universities to smother or distort or counter the science that was coming out.And they succeeded substantially.\u201d Democracy works \u2014 if we participate.But it doesn\u2019t function well if we forfeit our rights to corporate interests.We must speak out at the ballot box and between elections, and tell politicians our support depends on them putting our interests first.David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.Written with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation Senior Editor Ian Hanington.Learn

Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA that he tried to smuggle regulated goods into Canada for which excise duty had to be paid.In December 2013, Faucher arrived at the Fast Hereford border crossing behind the wheel of his trailer truck.He told the Canada Border Services (CBSA) Officer that he was hauling wood chips.During a search of the cargo, the first 127 bags inspected contained the declared merchandise; but the rest of the cargo was quite different.During the secondary search, customs officers discovered 40 pallets containing three cases of contraband cigarettes each, or 13,023 kilos of cigarettes.Lawyer Jean-Guillaume Blanchette told the court that following his arrest, Faucher had suffered a stroke, after which he had undergone an aptitude test to see if he was fit to stand trial.Before accepting Faucher's guilty plea, Justice Paul Dunnigan of the Court of Quebec declared him fit to face the judicial process.He then reminded the accused that his 20-month sentence was imprisonment, but to be served at home, and that he would have to meet strict conditions.Faucher will have to spend the first ten months of his sentence inside his home 24 hours a day.He also has to pay his $20,000 fine within twelve months.Other individuals were also arrested in this case and their files have been postponed to a later date.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter!

link between additional calcium intake and heart disease \u2014\u2014 Fr UN | | | | 7D el ASK THE DOCTORS By Robert Ashley, M.D.Dear Doctor: Calcium is frequently recommended to reduce the risk of bone fractures in the elderly, but I've read that calcium builds in the arteries and heart.So what choice do women have - die of a hip fracture or die of a heart attack?Personally, I don't know which would be better.Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off Text only: $16.00 (includes taxes) WEDDING WRITE-UPS: Dear Reader: You highlight an interesting issue.There is no doubt that calcium is beneficial for bones, with supplementation improving bone density and - at 500 to 1,200 milligrams per day \u2014 leading to a 9 to 19 percent decrease in the rate of hip fractures.But its true that supplements may have risks as well.First, for women over 50, supplementation with 1,000 mg of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D leads to a 17 percent increased risk of kidney stones.Second, calcium supplementation for people with kidney dysfunction or those on dialysis causes increased calcification of blood vessels and a greater risk of heart attacks and strokes.A 2008 study of 1,471 postmenopausal women in New Zealand compared the effects of 1,000 mg of calcium citrate to those of a placebo.In five years of follow-up, women who took the calcium had an improvement in the ratio of their good to bad cholesterol (HDL/LDL).However, after 2 1/2 years, the group that took the calcium started to BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 40\u20ac per

they had a 49 percent increased risk.Then there was a 2010 British Medical Journal study that combined data from 11 studies in which women took elemental calcium supplements of 500 mg or more.The studies, which evaluated fracture risk and bone density, weren't intended to assess heart attack and stroke risk, but researchers did gather data on the conditions.In total, the group that took calcium had a 27 percent increased risk of heart attacks and a 12 percent higher risk (not considered statistically significant) of strokes.In 2011, the same authors tackled data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study in which 36,282 women took 1,000 mg of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D or a placebo for seven years.The initial study did not reveal an increase in heart attacks among women taking calcium supplements, but as it turned out, 54 percent were taking additional calcium beyond the supplements that were part of the trial.Noting RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES

were not taking additional calcium.They found that the group taking the 1,000 mg of calcium had a 16 percent increase in the rate of heart attacks.Other grouped studies (using the initial data of the WHI study) have not shown this degree of risk with calcium supplementation.Confusing, isn't it?Here's the take- home message: If you're otherwise healthy, taking up to 1,000 mg of calcium supplements may be safe.But if you have risk factors for a heart attack or stroke, such as a history of smoking, diabetes, kidney dysfunction or a significant family history of heart disease, I would avoid large doses of calcium and would, in fact, limit calcium supplement intake to no more than 500 mg per day.It's all about balancing bone health with overall health.Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist and

Phillip Alder Randy Pausch, who was a professor of computer science and human-computer interaction, said, \u201cWe cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.\u201d That is so true.This week, we are looking at how the defenders can collect more trump tricks than might seem possible at the beginning of a deal.In today\u2019s example, how many trump tricks can East-West take against four hearts?South had a minimum for a two- heart response, but the decent six-card WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2017 Page 9 North 11-08-17 & KQJ10 V AK2 + 10863 & KO West East & 986432 & À 7 V3 YQ5

initial plan was to rebid a game-invita- tional three hearts, but here North jumped to four hearts.(Yes, as in yesterday\u2019s deal, three no-trump would have been more successful if North guessed hearts correctly.) After West leads the club three, East should first check the high-card points.He has 12, and dummy holds 18.That leaves 10 missing, but South had enough to respond at the two-level.West must have nothing of value.So, East should hope that his partner has led a singleton.East wins the first trick and returns the club jack, his highest remaining CROSSWORD club being a suit-preference signal for spades, the higher-ranking of the other two side suits.After West ruffs and returns a spade, East wins with his ace and .what?When you have taken every possible side-suit trick, you must try for trump winners.East should lead the club two.This will force West to ruff with his second heart.Declarer has to overruff with dummy\u2019s king, and suddenly East\u2019s queen becomes a winner.It is a textbook uppercut resulting in East-West\u2019s taking two trump tricks.Across 1 \u201cThat cracks me up!\u201d > \u201c__ and the Swan\u201d: Rubens painting 9 Paper Mate product 12 1936 Olympics standout 14 Goes it alone 15 \u201cTe __\u201d: Rihanna song 16 *Golfer\u2019s guide for measuring distances 18 Playful bite 19 House vote 20 Like much store-brand merchandise 21 Contact lens solution brand 22 Soft boot material 24 Winner\u2019s wreath 26 Church seating 28 *Philatelist\u2019s find 31 On __ of: for 34 Family guys 35 Overhead expanse ClO sl S nir- \u2014 m|C|r(>1< MO m|ODIP{[U IRIN Ir|> T|n|>|0|> Y U L E S v|m|32| MIO Z|M|\u2014-|OION O/M|
