[" Lennoxville firefighter\u2019s reunion Page 3 \"THE\" - RECORD The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Gaiters hire new Defensive Coordinator Sports - Page7 75 CENTS + TAXES Sherbrooke moves ahead with municipal reform By Gordon Lambie T|he shape of Sherbrooke\u2019s much debated municipal reform bill was finally revealed on Monday evening after the city council voted in favour of the initial plan.As forecast when the reform was first announced, the new electoral map reduces the number of boroughs in the city to four from six, and the number of municipal councillors needed from 19 to 14.In the proposed new map, the most significant changes come through the transformation of the Borough of Brompton into an electoral district with the same dimensions within the Rock Forest St.Elie Deauville Borough and the merging of the Jacques Cartier and Mont-Bellevue Boroughs into a unified central borough.Outside of the Borough of Lennoxville, where the electoral map remains completely unchanged, the borders of every other district in the city have shifted in order to meet the new restrictions set out by the city council.The new electoral map can be viewed online among the city of Sherbrooke\u2019s interactive maps at sherbrooke.ca/cartes.Speaking at a media information session on Monday afternoon, City Clerk Isabelle Sauvé, explained that because of the changes that have been worked out, each district and borough is labeled on the map only by number.It will be up to the council to determine the names of the districts and boroughs at a later date.The city is has planned an information session on the new electoral map on the night of Tuesday, March 29, at 7pm in the city council chamber.Cont\u2019d on page 3 ¦ THE « RECORD GET a 7 DAY TRIAL ONUNE SCR»*tioN\" PM#0040007682 Tuesday, March 22, 2016 Pet Connection picking up the pieces dav bv dav Jen Young owner of Blue Seal, and the Lennoxville Pet Connection holding Nickel, one of the five cats that were closed in the smoky room after firefighters thought the room had been cleared of all animals.Hit?'\ttr By Matthew McCully Two weeks after a fire at Blue Seal, home to the Lennoxville Pet Connection, owner Jen Young is still in a daze from the traumatic event, and also dumbfounded by the amount of community support the non-profit animal rescue organization has received.\u201cI have no idea how to properly thank these people.I wouldn\u2019t even know where to begin,\u201d Young said.\u201cI don\u2019t even know about all of them,\u201d she added.None of the financial donations made to the shelter have been counted or touched yet.\u201cThat is strictly for the animals,\u201d she said.Young explained that while the store is now open again, everything behind the scenes is still in disarray.\u201cMy pride takes a beating,\u201d she said, when the store is not in tip top shape, but until the grooming room where the fire started can be gutted, Young said she can\u2019t start rebuilding and getting things back in order.\u201cRight now we\u2019re changing something to make something else work in the meantime.\u201d Cont\u2019d on page 2 Take The Record anywhere with you with an online subscription! iPads, tablets, iPhones, Android phones, laptops!

Department to host history of beer night Interactive exhibition will discuss various topics related to the history of brewing in the Eastern Townships By Philip Rich Love beer?Interested in history?Want some free samples?Then Thursday night at the Centennial Theatre may be just the spot for you.On March 24 in the Centennial lobby, the Bishop\u2019s University History Association (BUHA) will be hosting an interactive exhibition on the history of beer in the Eastern Townships as part of its annual set of heritage week activities.Organized by Dr.Jean Manore\u2019s public history seminar class, the event will run from 4:30 p.m.to 7:30 p.m.and admission is free for all.The exhibition will feature posters and presentations on a wide variety of topics, including the history of the various breweries in and around the Lennoxville area, the era of prohibition in the Eastern Townships, and the evolution of Orientation Week at Bishop\u2019s University, among others.Free samples will also be provided from the school\u2019s own Bishop\u2019s Arches brewery, as well as the Brouemont microbrewery in Bromont, QC.The exhibition is a culmination of a semester-long project for the eight students in the public history class.With BUHA acting as their \u201cclient\u201d, the students were expected to use what they had learned in the course to properly put on a heritage week activity.As such, the exhibition will also feature information on how exactly public history differs from traditional history, and why understanding the discipline of public history is essential to engaging the public in the study of history.Although intended for BU students and staff, the event is open to the local community as well with the hope on educating people as to why the drinking culture at Bishop\u2019s is such a consistently relevant topic year in and year out.Pet Connection Cont\u2019d from page 1 With electricity cut off and a large chunk of space currently unavailable, temporary homes have been set up for the Pet Connection cats in other parts of the building.\u201cI don\u2019t think they are big enough, but they are just temporary,\u201d Young said.At the moment, none of the cats are available for adoption, or even fostering.\u201cI need to make sure they are alright,\u201d she said.All of the cats suffered smoke inhalation and are still sneezing and coughing.Young is keeping an extra close eye on Cuteness and Nickel, two of the five cats that were closed in the smoky room after firefighters thought the room had been cleared of all animals.\u201cI walk around here all day in circles,\u201d Young said, having trouble finding closure and moving on with one of her cats, Wilma, still unaccounted for.Young credits her employees for keeping the store afloat these days while she tries to get her bearings and come up with a plan.\u201cI\u2019m scared.I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m going to be able to do this,\u201d she confessed.Young said the vet expenses for her animals, not including food, vitamins or maintenance, cost roughly $2,600 per month.\u201cInsurance will only cover grooming, no animal stuff,\u201d she added, pointing out that there were around 30 kitty condos that run close to $400 each in the room where the fire was.\u201cEverything is stagnant right now,\u201d Young said, hoping to move forward with the necessary renovations to get grooming services up and running again soon.Luckily, The Pet Connection has supporters with many talents.Young said locals Scott Passmore and Bruce Giddings helped do some re-wiring in the building to allow Young to run her washer and dryer, absolute necessities.\u201cI was never so happy to wash blankets with kitty puke on them,\u201d she laughed, grateful for the help.The morning after the fire, The Record took a short video of Young; in it, she recounted the story of Enzo, a new rescue, who bit and drew blood from one of the firefighters on the scene as he was being evacuated from the building.Young, at the time, thanked the firefighter for his help, and wanted to stress that Enzo was only scared and not actu- ally a vicious cat.When asked about Enzo\u2019s mood these days, Young lit up.\u201cMy vet tech Annick fell in love with him,\u201d she said.After his initial treatment at the clinic, Enzo joined Annick\u2019s family and has integrated well with her and her children.She is also able to keep an eye on his health following the fire.As soon as news of the fire spread, efforts have been popping up all over the townships in support of The Pet Connection.There is currently an active Go-FundMe campaign, and an upcoming Bingo night scheduled as a fundraiser.St.Francis Manor is also Taking The Pet Connection under its wing for fundraising initiatives this spring.Lennoxville Tai-Chi group recently dropped off a donation to the store, and there have been other bake sales and collections all over the community.Young recently held a garage sale to help her son Cody and his girlfriend Shannon, who live above the store, replace items that were lost due to smoke damage.Over $1000 was raised, but Cody and Shannon refused the money, insisting it go to the needs of the shelter and the animals.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter!

We may be a small centre, but our students, staff and teachers are always willing to participate and organize these fun activities.We have our own Faceboolc page -check us out and \u201clike\u201d us - New Horizons Adult Education.A pizza/Faceboolc promotion was successfully launched before the March break.Students were asked to like and share the New Horizons Faceboolc page and received free pizza in exchange.This activity more than tripled the number of followers on our page, as well as established our Face-book page as a useful platform to update students on school related matters.(See photo 1 - labeled Promo) During the month of February our centre took part in the Hooked on School event.At New Horizons we began the week with an assembly to celebrate the occasion.Students were first welcomed with an enthusiastic speech from our Centre Director, Camille Faucher, in which she thanked all students for the sacrifices and commitments they have made to further their education.Then a teacher asked the students, \u201cWhat would your life look like if you didn\u2019t have access to school?\u201d A short video followed, in which Diane Sawyer interviewed Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani activist who is fighting for women\u2019s rights to education.The video was selected in an attempt to offer the students a different perspective on an opportunity that they tend to take for granted.\u201cIn some parts of the world people consider education like a \u2018precious diamond\u2019 and would do anything to own a book.\u2019 Students were reminded of the privileges they have and encouraged to dream big.Awards were presented and all students received a token for their commitment to education.To end this day\u2019s celebration, we shared a delicious international potluclc lunch.As another Hooked on School event, three of New Horizons\u2019 students were invited to North Hatley Elementary School to talk about their past and present school experiences.They also encouraged the elementary school students to keep up with their dreams and to value their education.They highlighted the importance of doing their best while in school and to have concrete goals throughout their lives.Our three students, Brandon Sager, Sophia Roy and Khusrow Sarwari enjoyed this experience and appreciated the open- mindedness of their young audience.(See photo number 2 - labeled Hooked on School - Brandon Sager, Sophia Roy, Khusrow Sarwari).Pink Shirt Day, the anti-bullying awareness initiative, was a hit at New Horizons! On February 24th, the students and staff of New Horizons wore pink shirts to show their solidarity against bullying.They also listened to an interview with one of Pink Shirt Day founders, Travis Price, and shared views and experiences by creating a Post-it \u201cStop Bullying\u201d wall.Personal anecdotes, promises and messages of encouragement were written on Post-it notes and stuck on a wall in the hallway, where everyone could stop to read, reflect and discuss the effects of bullying and what we can do to make a difference.The popular exhibit highlighted the importance of stopping bullying whenever it occurs.(See photo 2 labeled - Pink shirt day students and staff) and photo 3 labeled Pink shirt day board) As an outreach service for our students, the staff and teachers of New Horizons have started a Breakfast club.Some of our students do not have the chance to eat properly for a variety of personal reasons.Considering the fact that healthy eating habits are closely linked to school performance, we are very concerned for those students at risk.Offering our students a decent breakfast not only benefits the students themselves, but also strengthens our Centre\u2019s community.We have been extremely lucky so far to have two major sponsors to help with our cause and we would like to thank and recognize Mr.Denis Fortier, Director of La Fondation Rock Guertin and Mrs.Sonia Inlcel, Assistant Director of the Marché Provigo located at Jacques Cartier Sud.If you are interested in encouraging our program by sponsoring our Breakfast club please contact our Centre secretary, Donna Bray at 819-566-0250 ext.0 or by email at brayd@etsb.qc.ca for more information.Until next time.keep your eyes on the \u201cHorizon\u201d!!! Pink Shirt Day; the anti-bullying awareness initiative The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, March 22, 2016 Page 5 My Take: Gordon Lambie Tjhis past Friday the Sherbrooke Police issued a public notice that there has been a string of break-ins across the city over the last few months.The notice advised people to take care of their belongings, be mindful of the en-tranceways to their homes, and generally keep an eye out for strange behaviour in their neighbourhoods.When people think about being robbed, it is often in terms of the things they imagine will be taken.Experience has shown me, though, that the real trauma is in the break-in itself.With in- surance and filed receipts, stolen computers or cameras are replaced in a few days, but just reading that notice from the police brought me right back to the broken glass in my front door and the hours spent wondering whether our cats were gone forever before they emerged from hiding.Stuff is just stuff and it will come and go over the course of my life, but the feeling that my home is not the island of safety I thought it was; that\u2019s the greater violation.Northern Reflection Walking in another\u2019s showshoes By Jonathan Baillargeon The motto of Wemindji is « A community where tradition lives on ».In my first article I briefly described a few traditions and last Saturday we took part in one of the most important traditions for children: The snowshoe walk ceremony.The ceremony is organized by families who have children of about 5-7 years old and is defined in the book Wemindji Turns 50 as \u201cthe expectation of productive behavior from individuals, the collective objective of work and the worth of everyone in Cree society\u201d.In other words, when a child is able to use snow-shoes he can contribute better to the good of the community.Two days before the ceremony I saw a post on Facebook.Local children Simon, Theodore, Deidre and Ashlynn were ready to use snowshoes for the first time.The entire community was invited and there was no reason for me to miss the event because Theodore is one of my students.At 8 o\u2019clock sharp we were standing by the river, all alone.Then, one car arrived, two snowmobiles, and another car, and another snowmobile.In less than 15 minutes we were about 75 people waiting for the children.When they arrived, I truly felt that I was experiencing something true and unique.Children were dressed in traditional Cree outfits and they were carrying replica of tools used by Cree hunters.The boys had guns and knives and the girls held scraping instruments.The four children also carried a wooden shovel.Moreover, the boys pulled a sled on which there was a real rabbit and a real beaver.When they were ready to begin the ceremony, an elder led the way.He took the children close to the river and waited for them to put on their snow-shoes.All people were watching and taking pictures.The group was ready to proceed after few minutes and they started to walk east.They faced the sunrise.Because the ceremony symbolizes the time when hunters would leave at dawn and come back after dusk, the group walked in clockwise direction and ended the walk at their starting point looking west.It was just like if they had followed the path of the sun.It took maybe only 15 minutes but I realized how it was an important accomplishment for the children.They were proud just like their parents.The elder congratulated them and then we all lined up and did the same.The ceremony was over, but not the celebrations because everyone was invited to a feast.About 50 people gathered in the church basement.They could have fed 100.They served us moose, goose, beaver and rabbit.Before the dessert, Theodore\u2019s mother gave each person a piece of what she called a treat.It was the meat from the beaver and rabbit we saw on the sled in the morning.The symbolic aspect of the ceremony was still present.Then, people were invited to bring some food home and the parents even posted a message on Facebook to invite the rest of the community to come to the church and get some leftovers.This was not unusual.Since our arrival we noticed that a feast is always about sharing with as many people as possible.They will never waste food.In fact, as I am writing this article, Roxanne is at the culture camp with the kids because few people over there have been tanning hides and cleaning meat for a week.They decided to organize a last minute feast and they posted the invitation on Facebook.Again there will be no wasted food.JONATHAN BAILLARGEON Theodore and Simon, Ashlynn and Diedre A record breaking year for Richmond\u2019s St.Patrick\u2019s Day Parade By Claudia Villemaire Richmond With crowd estimated at well over ten thousand, at least twice as many floats representing not only veteran parade participants but several newcomers.There were at least two full brass bands and several merry-makers on floats 'fiddlng' the energetic irish jigs and reels.Not to mention horses in every type of presentation imaginable from the parade style chrome plated outfit only used for parades to double and four-horse hitches, hoofs as large as dinner plates, stepping lightly behind decorated ponies and equestrian club members astride their favourite steeds.Major arteries were lined with spectators three and four lines deep.Families, some including three generations had obviously caught the Irish spirit judging by the sea of green hats, scarves, flags large and small and green trinkets of every shape.Even the family pet wasn't forgotten, some with claw nails even painted with the same sparkly green many of the parade horses were also doing their best to show off.Unanimous praise from spectators seemed to be the order of the day as thousands began to slowly turn from the parade route and begin what, for some, would be a long trek to their vehicle considering side streets and even almost to the town limits roadways wherever they could be found were used as parking possibilities.Although Erika Lockwood was not available for comment, her father Bruce speaking on her behalf confirmed the elation at the obvious success of the 147th St Patrick Parade in Richmond, breaking attendance records once again.\"Of course, such a bright, sunny day is a great help,' he added but the Society put a lot of effort into finding new participants while welcoming veterans of this event, some with a history of three generations participating.\u201c Many thanks to one and all,\" Lockwood insisted.Trophies, prizes, and a photograph of each participant will be presented at the After-Parade Brunch at the Richmond Legion Sunday coming, March 27th.PHOTOS TAKEN BY CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE Page 6 Tuesday, March 22,

take clean water for granted By David Suzuki Earth\u2019s oceans, lakes, rivers and streams are its circulatory system, providing life\u2019s essentials for people, animals and ecosystems.Canada has one-fifth of the world\u2019s freshwater, a quarter of its remaining wetlands and its longest coastline.With this abundance, it\u2019s easy to take water for granted.Many of our daily rituals require its life-giving force.Yet do we recognize our good fortune in having clean, safe water at the turn of a tap?Not everyone in Canada is so lucky.On any given day, more than 1,000 boil-water advisories are in place across the country.Imagine having to walk to your local church every morning to fill plastic jugs with clean drinking water for your family.Or having to drive to your town\u2019s fire station or community centre to collect bottled water.Imagine having to boil water for everything you do at home \u2014 cooking, cleaning, washing.This is the sad reality for people who live in communities with boil-water advisories, some for decades at a time.Water problems are dangerous.In May 2000, bacteria in Walkerton, Ontario\u2019s water supply caused seven deaths and more than 2,300 illnesses.A public inquiry blamed the crisis on flaws in the province\u2019s approval and inspection programs, a \u201clack of training and expertise\u201d among water-supply operators and government budget cuts.In 2001, nearly half of North Battle-ford, Saskatchewan\u2019s 14,000 residents became ill from contaminated water.An inquiry concluded provincial oversight was inadequate and ineffective.Indigenous communities continue to face a widespread drinking water crisis, with people on First Nations reserves 90 times more likely than other Canadians to lack access to clean water.Health Canada reports that 131 drinking-water advisories were in effect in 87 Indigenous communities at the end of 2015, not including British Columbia.Places like Shoal Lake 40, Grassy Narrows and Neskantaga have been under boil-water advisories for decades.In B.C., the First Nations Health Authority reports that 28 drinking-water advisories were in effect in 25 Indigenous communities as of January 31, 2016.How can this continue in a water-rich country like Canada?Canada recognized the right to water at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012.Yet our government has failed to live up to its commitment.As a 2015 UN report points out, \u201cThe global water crisis is one of governance, much more than of resource availability, and this is where the bulk of the action is required in order to achieve a water secure world.\u201d We are the only G8 country, and one of just two OECD countries, without legally enforceable national drinking-water-quality standards.Federal water policy is more than 25 years old and in dire need of revision.We have no national strategy to address urgent water issues and no federal leadership to conserve and protect water.Instead, we rely on a patchwork of provincial water policies, some enshrined in law and some not.Meanwhile, highly intensive industrial activities, agribusiness and pollution are putting water supplies at risk.The federal government will deliver its first budget on March 22 \u2014 World Water Day.The David Suzuki Foundation\u2019s Blue Dot movement is also taking a stand on World Water Day, helping communities across Canada call on the federal government to make good on our human right to clean water by enacting a federal environmental bill of rights.Canada\u2019s environment and climate change minister has a mandate to \u201ctreat our freshwater as a precious resource that deserves protection and careful stewardship.\u201d The government could take a big step toward accomplishing

S]\tports\tThe organization announced that it had raised $98,775.90 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in the ninth edition of its annual Shoot For The Cure initiative.Gilpin played major role in national fundraising event By Mike Hickey Special to the Record An announcement, made this weekend in Fredericton, New Brunswick by Canadian Interuniversity Sport Women\u2019s Basketball Coaches Association, was certainly a feel-good story.The organization announced that it had raised $98,775.90 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in the ninth edition of its annual Shoot For The Cure initiative.An additional $25,836.86 was amassed by schools that elected to donate their fundraised money to local or provincial organizations, bringing this season\u2019s Shoot For The Cure overall total to $124,612.76 and the nine-year total to $1,011,283.60.What the announcement failed to mention was that the initiative had its roots in Lennoxville and the worthwhile endeavor was the brainchild of Bishop\u2019s head coach Rod Gilpin.At the time, Gilpin was the head coach for the Lady Gaiters and he decided to use the women\u2019s annual invitational basketball tournament to raise money and awareness for cancer research.His motivation was the mother of one of his players, Anouk Boulanger, who was battling cancer and Gilpin believed that using basketball, as a fundraising tool was a proper way to sup- port his star player.It is a story with a happy ending, as Anouk\u2019s mother survived her battle while the tournament fundraiser sparked a national campaign Encouraged by the success of the BU event, Gilpin approached the WBCA at their annual convention in 2007 and proposed that each school hold a similar event with the proceeds being donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.In its first full year of operation Shoot for Cure raised $50,320 and the annual amount has climbed every season.For the fifth straight season, all 47 CIS women\u2019s hoops programs participated by holding one or numerous fundraising games or activities over the course of the campaign.\u201cI would like to thank all of the other 46 CIS women\u2019s basketball head coaches and their student-athletes for helping make this year\u2019s Shoot For The Cure another successful one,\u201d said Jeff Speedy, project manager for Shoot For the Cure and head coach of the UNB Varsity Red.\u201cIt is fantastic that we had 100% participation once again and also very special that we were able to eclipse the $1,000,000 mark in total money raised over the nine years of this initiative.I am not sure what our next goal or milestone will be but I am anxious to find out and get started.\u201d Lennoxville Lures Loranger, Gaiters hire new Defensive Coordinator By Marty Rourke Marc Loranger is an accomplished football coach and this week he decided to take the next step in his storied career.The Bishop\u2019s University Department of Athletics and Recreation and head football coach Kevin Mackey announced that Loranger will join the Gaiters\u2019 staff starting after the Easter break.He will assume the duties of Defensive Coordinator.Most recently Loranger was the head coach of the Cégep Edouard-Montpetit football program in Longueuil, Que., a position he took over in 2013.However the Sherbrooke resident was eager to move closer to home and jumped at the opportunity to return to the CIS.\u201cThis is a great opportunity to be back in the CIS,\u201d said Loranger.\u201cI know Bishop\u2019s but it is a different place now.There are wonderful facilities and I think we have the opportunity to develop something great.People have the desire and the want for this program to be successful.\u201d The Gaiters were expanding their coaching staff and when Loranger\u2019s resume crossed Mackey\u2019s desk he knew he had a prime candidate.\u201cMarc is a terrific coach,\u201d said the Gaiters\u2019 bench boss.\u201cHis experience speaks for itself.We went through a process to make sure we hired the best candidate and Marc was in a league of his own.Anytime you can add a coach with his qualifications your program immediately becomes better.\u201d Mackey was previously the team\u2019s defensive coordinator and head coach for the last four seasons.He wasn\u2019t willing to relinquish the duties to just anyone but Loranger, who has served as both a defensive coordinator and head coach in the CIS, certainly made the decision easier.\u201cWe wanted to do what\u2019s best for the football team,\u201d Mackey added.\u201cI feel that Marc will do an excellent job with the defense and it will allow me to have a more global look at our team.I will still be able to help out but will also be able to focus more on special teams as well as recruiting and the administrative tasks.\u201d Loranger\u2019s CIS experience includes a stint with the Gaiters as their Defensive Coordinator and Recruiting Coordinator from 2000-2006.After leaving Bishop\u2019s he made the cross-town jaunt to Sherbrooke where he was their Defensive Co- ordinator and Assistant Head Coach from 2007-2011.He also led the Mount Allison Mounties to the Vanier Cup in 1991 when he was their head coach.\u201cMarc is known across the province,\u201d said Mackey while citing Loranger\u2019s reputation.\u201cHe is a guy on the radar of all Cégep coaches.He will certainly help with recruiting.He\u2019s also been in our league before and understands the type of football that is played here.I\u2019m excited to get working with our newest addition.\u201d \u201cHere we play against the best oppo- nents\u2019 week in and week out,\u201d added Loranger.\u201cIt will be challenging and we may have to do some exotic things on defence to be successful but we need to have that winning mentality.We are going to expect our guys to compete every week.\u201d The 2016 RSEQ University Football schedule has not been released yet but look for it in the coming weeks.In the meantime stay tuned to www.gaiters.ca for all the latest news and information about the Gaiters.You can also follow @BishopsGaiters on social media.BISHOP\u2019S UNIVERSITY Kevin Mackey and Marc Loranger Canada's Carey suffers first loss at women's curling world championships By John Chidley-Hill THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada's Chelsea Carey suffered her first loss at women's curling world championship on Monday, falling 6-3 to Russia's Anna Sidorova in Draw 6.Russia (3-1) played conservatively in the early going, capitalizing on a missed takeout by Canada (3-1) in the seventh end for a decisive two points.Carey's Calgary-based rink was the last undefeated team at the tournament as Japan (3-1) was upset by Denmark (2-2) earlier in the same draw.Canada faced Sweden's Margaretha Sigfridsson in the evening draw.Sidorova is a two-time European champion and has won bronze twice at the world championships.This is Carey's first world championship, and Canada hasn't won gold at the event since 2008.Russia opened with a hit and roll for a deuce in the first end, followed by a scoreless second.Carey took a 3-2 lead in the third end with a smooth tapout for the triple.Sidorova continued her conservative play in the fourth, going for the blank and keeping the score 3-2 in Canada's favour.She did the same in the fifth and sixth ends to keep the hammer.Carey missed a takeout in the seventh end, instead tapping the Russian rock closer to the button.Sidorova, with the hammer, threw an easy draw for two and a 4-3 lead.Canada was too light on its attempt at a tap in the eighth end, giving Russia another point.The struggles continued for Carey in the ninth end as she failed on an attempted triple takeout.Instead, Russia stole a point to make it 6-3 heading to the final end.Sidorova kept the house clear in the 10th end, with the Canadians shaking hands with a stone still to throw.
