I knew it was a racket! But then, coming from the optometrist, I should have guessed.*Drop by Black Cat Books in Lennoxville this Sunday from 2-4 p.m.I\u2019ll be reading from my novel A Hole in the Ground and other works and discussing whatever there is to discuss.See you there! Memphremagog MRC to get SQ_station by 2018 Record Staff Sherbrooke The Memphremagog MRC will finally get its new Sûreté du Québec station in 2018, in spite of ongoing administrative reorganization within the provincial force.MRC Prefect Jacques Demers con- firmed in an article in Sherbrooke\u2019s La Tribune that work is scheduled to begin in spring 2017.The construction should be completed in the spring of the following year.The new building will be located at exit 113 of Highway 10, near Karting Or-ford.The MRC plans to adopt a short-term loan by-law to finance the project and expects to sign a 10 to 15 year lease with the SQ.The force has no plans for additional staff at the new headquarters, but Demers insists that the public will be better served because officers will no longer have to travel to Sherbrooke, where their offices are currently located.Ben by Daniel Shelton -I SEE TOU FOUNPMY LUCKY LEAF/ f press/j'AVLU ID PROTECTED BY The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday, November 3, 2016 Page 3 .Local New Murray said the fact that Minister Proulx is making himself available for 15 different regional meetings is a clear indication of how committed he is.Regional consultation on educational success offers a direct line to Proulx By Matthew McCully Appalachian Teachers\u2019 Association President Megan Seline and Eastern Townships School Board Chairman Mike Murray were two of the local representatives that gave presentations during last Friday\u2019s public consultation on educational success.Seline\u2019s presentation covered two main topics; helping all students reach their full potential and creating a favourable environment for student learning, personal development and success.Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports Sébastien Proulx attended the consultation to hear first-hand what the needs of the region are to ensure educational success.\u201cEarly childhood intervention is key to educational success, particularly for students in low SES (socioeconomic status) situations, but it requires specific human resources; additional resource teachers, professionals, and technicians,\u201d Seline\u2019s presentation said.Seline suggested that the assessment and identification of students\u2019 specific needs should be identified as early as possible to avoid learning delays.She went on to point out that four-year-old kindergarten should continue in low SES areas, and a feasibility study should be done to consider expanding the program to all students.\u201cGiven the nearly 100% degree of integration and inclusion of special needs students in the English sector, there is a need for greater resources and direct services to students with an awareness that the difficulties and challenges caused by this degree of integration and inclusion vary from area to area,\u201d Seline stated.She wondered if a teacher without the proper resources was providing equally appropriate learning opportunities for the special needs student, the average student, and the gifted student in a class.Seline mentioned a need for a broader curriculum to offer more options and engage more students.\u201cThere must be a greater number of pathways and alternative academic and vocational options in order to entice and encourage individuals to stay in school with resources to support and guide them,\u201d she said.During her presentation, Seline pointed out that the cost of attending professional development sessions has increased, but the funding from the Ministry has remained unchanged.She also suggested that a government funded breakfast program for all students in public schools could contribute to a better overall learning environment.Seline\u2019s presentation also touched on the needs in adult education, including maximum class sizes for adult ed classes, resources for special needs students in vocational training, and suggested a consultation mechanism be put in place to confer with vocational education teachers about programs.Seline brought four local teachers to act as observers at the consultation; Kevin Shea from AGRHS, Marina Delis RRHS, Josee Gagon and Jennifer Kidd from Butler.The observers were also invited to participate in the round table discussions in the afternoon that followed the morning presentations.ETSB chairman Mike Murray called the recent consultation \u201cinteresting, to say the least.\u201d Murray co-presented with local French boards.While he said there was not a lot of time to get into great detail, he and his co-presenters touched on all of the high points related to educational needs in the area.Murray added that Minister Proulx was not just there to make an appearance.\u201cThere was an exchange.He asked questions, and he was quite penetrating in his questions, I found,\u201d Murray said.One of the topics discussed was the need for adaptability among the vocational training programs offered.Murray used the example of Machining; while there may be resources for the training program in Sherbrooke, the need for machinists could be much higher in another region.Murray said the minister reacted well to the need for early intervention to identify special needs in young children so that solutions can be applied before they begin suffering a lack of success.Overall, Murray said he felt heard at the consultation and appreciated the minister pointing out that wall-to wall solutions are not viable as far as education is concerned, and different areas will require different solutions.Murray said the fact that Minister Proulx is making himself available for 15 different regional meetings is a clear indication of how committed he is.Is starting your own business harder for women?By Gordon Lambie As a part of its second edition the Salon Féminin Pluriel, Sherbrooke\u2019s annual conference dedicated to celebrating women and discussing issues of concern to them, will be hosting a public conversation on entrepreneurship for women.Entitled \u201c+ qu\u2019un Panel Discussion\u201d or \u201cmore than a panel discussion\u201d the event will give an audience of students and members of the general public the opportunity to interact with established female entrepreneurs on the challenges and triumphs of their working lives.Catherine Routhier, youth entrepreneurship outreach agent with the Carrefour Jeunesse Emploi employment resource centre, coordinated the event.\u201cThe reason we call it more than a panel is that usually with a panel what you get is a small group talking and an audience listening,\u201d Routhier said.\u201cWhat we want is an exchange with the audience.The way it will work is that each panelist will have a turn to speak, then there will be some questions that are specific to the entrepreneurs and their training.After that the panelists will ask discussion questions to those who are gathered.\u201d The panel for the event will include Suzie Talbot of Diex Recherche, Chloé Legris of Espace INC., Janie Du- quette of Alma ma Terre, and Marie-Eve Lejour of Savonnerie des Diligences, with the conversation being moderated by Ma'ia Poulin of Niska.Routhier said that although the discussion will be taking place in French, several members of the panel are quite capable of speaking in English.\u201cThere will be no problem,\u201d the coordinator said.\u201cIt will be really interesting.\u201d Routhier explained that the panel came about after the organizers of the conference asked the Carrefour Jeunesse Emploi to organize an event looking at the idea of entrepreneurship from a woman\u2019s perspective.\u201cThere are a lot of female entrepreneurs, but compared to men there are not as many as you might think,\u201d the coordinator said, explaining that finding panelists was more of a challenge than she was expecting.\u201cThe objective is really to expose people to positive models of entrepreneurship and female business leaders while also looking at how the issues and the realities are different for women.\u201d Routhier said that the event is not meant to make people into entrepreneurs in an afternoon, but rather to get people thinking about how women can be masters of their own destinies and what challenges might face them in chasing that goal.\u201cMy mandate is really to introduce people to new ideas and create discussion,\u201d the organiser said.The \u201c+ qu\u2019un Panel Discussion\u201d event will take place this coming Friday, November 4, from 1:30pm to 3:30pm at the Centre Multisport Roland-Dussault, 350 Terrill Street in Fleurimont.The Salon Féminin Pluriel conference as a whole is set to take place at the sports centre from Friday to Sunday.More information on the schedule and admission is available at http://salon-femininpluriel.com/ Michel Puval Advertising Consultant Serving the entire Eastern townships with three publications Brome County RECORD\tTownships Outlet One number SI 9 569-9 m mduval@sherbrookerecord.com Lennoxville Elementary School Benefit Dance on Sat., November 5 at 9 p.m.at the A.NA.F.Unit 318 (The Hut) 300 St.Francis, Lennoxville X featuring ^ J J Slightly Haggard # All proceeds will go towards the L.E.S.extra-curricular activities.ûes Communautés de Retraités MASSAWIPPI Retirement Communities Free Community Flu Clinic Free Community Flu Clinic offered by Massawippi Retirement Communities!

During the tournament, Pope Memorial had won, or tied, all games leading up to the final.They had practiced their passing during recesses and noon hours in the days leading up to the event, and had been coached by Dave, our supervisor, and their Phys.Ed teacher, Mr.Fortin, who organized the event.This year, in particular, there were more passes, teamwork, and definitely a strong feeling of sportsmanship throughout the day! Mr.Fortin consoled our proud and tired team, \u201cYou were the team to beat!\u201d, to which they all agreed! More practicing took place before the Bishop\u2019s Cross Country Run, with good results! Three of our students placed in the top ten: Madison, competing against fifty-one gr.4 girls, Bryce, competing against forty-two gr.5 boys, and Jaden, competing against fifty gr.6 boys! A big accomplishment for our small school! We suspected that Jaden would place well, as he ran our 8 km.\u2018walk-a-thon\u2019 course in 41 minutes, along side our gym teacher, Mr.Fortin! We congratulate all those who participated, as they are not only representing our school in a positive manner, they are contributing to their own healthy lifestyle! On the subject of health, Cycle 3 students have been learning how to become smart food consumers! Under the guidance of Mary Gillespie, our 4th year Bishop\u2019s student teacher, the students have investigated why we need nutrients at a cellular level.Using clay, students constructed cells and then had a look at their own cheek cells under a microscope.They studied the nutrients that every cell needs, and found which of their favourite foods contained protein, carbs, oils, vitamins, minerals and water.Along the way, while learning to read food labels, students measured out the sugar content so that they could visibly see how much they were consuming.At our Open House, parents got into the game, as they ranked which of the nine juices and drinks had the least/most amount of sugar.There were some surprising results! Paying attention to research stating the benefits of exercise towards health and learning, students are receiving extra exercise on a regular basis.Luckily, it is easy to provide, with our sprawling playground and beautiful surroundings.In winter, we have an ice rink, provided by volunteers from our Athletic Association.As well, we have cross country skis and a surrounding golf course, not to mention the favourite sliding hill, thanks to Mr.and Mrs.L.G.Bennett, who have allowed us Cycle 3 Cross Country Run : v f BURY 7 ATHLETICS BURY ATHLETICS Reading buddies to slide every day for years.As well, on the agenda this year, are two trips to Mount Orford to downhill ski, and one trip to Melbourne, to go cross-country skiing.Kindergarten and grade one students will get their exercise tubing, as well as at indoor activities at Université de Sherbrooke.Research also tells us that teaching another person how to do something is one of the best ways to solidify learning.Cycle 3 students recently partnered with Cycle 1 students to \u2018teach\u2019 them their sounds and guide them in their reading.Both parties benefited from the experience! Cyber awareness is on the mind of many parents these days.Thanks to a program set up by Jody Meacher at ETSB, students learned about digital safety and etiquette this fall.They watched videos about how hurtful our comments can be, about bullying, how to report abuse, and suggestions about how to balance computer use with exercise and socializing.There were rich discussions, with many questions about online use and experiences students have every day.It was an important project for today\u2019s students! This fall, we have already used our ipads to research nutrients in the food we eat, to practice basic math addition and multiplication facts with fun games (Reflex from Learn Quebec), to do an experiment virtually (Gizmos from Learn Quebec), to write and revise a Halloween story, to make our food advertisements and to make a scary Halloween imovie,.Some of the teaching about online sites appropriateness has paid off as I overheard one student who was looking up scary sounds for the background music, saying, \u201cNo, we can\u2019t use this one, it says \u2018kill.\u201d, it\u2019s not appropriate.\u201d I was happy to hear that some of the lessons about what is appropriate, and what is to be passed by, are paying off.Not only for the project but every time we research online, we ask students to ask questions about where the information is coming from, why it is presented and if it is appropriate.Our busy fall also included a Social Studies trip to a Montreal museum, a Halloween Haunted House by cycle 3, a Halloween dinner, courtesy of the Women\u2019s Institute.We feel that we are lucky to have such a diverse schedule of events, helping us to make school days enjoyable for all!

PHELPS AI By Clea Corman Halloween has come and gone, but I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the fantastic turnout we had last Saturday for Phelps\u2019s evening of Halloween activities and crafts.The town of Stanstead organized their annual haunted house and Phelps was asked last minute if we could be open as well for families to stop in.Our response: \u201cOf course we\u2019ll be open!\u201d The Phelps students helped us decorate the space during the high school session on Thursday, some Halloween craft ideas were assembled, et voilà: an evening was planned, and what an evening it was.Many families came in and stayed; parents asked us questions about the organization while their children participated in the Halloween games and crafts.There was hot chocolate and coffee to warm up the visitors and many laughs were had by the older students who stayed and helped with the activities.A big thank you to the Phelps students who helped run the activities and to all the visitors that stopped by, you made our night! Phelps Aide Phelps Helps is an educational 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 five unique programs, providing Stanstead area students with free tutoring, educational support and hands-on learning for both elementary and high school students.Phelps\u2019s is starting to collect for their annual winter coat sale fundraiser.Winter coats can be dropped off at 272 rue Dufferin in Stanstead on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 12 and 6 p.m.or contact Phelps directly for additional information about to donate winter coats.To participate in Phelps\u2019s programs or to become a volunteer send an email to info@phelpshelps.ca or call 819-704-0799.For more information about Phelps Helps or to make a donation, please visit www.phelpshelps.ca Frontier Animal Society Featured Pets: Charlie, Petunia and Rose Tpday we would like to introduce you to three of our newest arrivals Charlie, Petunia and Rose (Rose is still a little too shy to come out for her photos so is not pictured).Prior to being rescued, these adorable kittens, along with their mother Jasmine, were homeless and doing their best to survive on the streets of Sherbrooke.They were lucky to have such a nurturing mom.Not only did she keep them safe but despite being undernourished herself, she took very good care of her little family.There will be no more cold nights and no more babies for Jasmine and soon, she too will be posted for adoption.Having had limited interaction with people, Charlie, Petunia and Rose were in need of a little extra TLC and socialization so we were very glad when one of our \"go to\" foster homes agreed to take them in.But here's the thing, this particular foster family now has two of their own cats (one of whom started out as a foster) and four fosters.That's a lot of cats! While hubby is supportive, he has his limits so by adopting one of these kittens, not only are you supporting rescue, but you might also be saving a marriage.Charlie, who is orange and white, is the most outgoing of the three.He quickly adapted to the comforts of a home and he is proving to be quite the little character.He is playful, curious and very sweet.Charlie loves to be pet and is happiest when he has a lap to snuggle up on.He has the most wonderful purr.Petunia is a lovely calico who, while a little less bold than her brother, is very intrigued by her cat toys and can easily be coaxed out of hiding to play.When she is happy and having fun, she makes the cutest little chirping noises.Petunia is quick to purr, enjoys her cuddles and is a very sweet and demure young kitten.In the few days she has been in foster care, she has really come out of her shell and is fast becoming more confident and inquisitive.Rose, a beautiful black and white tuxedo, is definitely the most timid of the three but with each passing day she is becoming a little more trusting and little more confident.She keenly watches as her two siblings play and interact with each other and with people and she so wants to join them.On a couple of occasions, Rose has mustered up enough courage to venture out and take part in a game but she is ever mindful of her surroundings.She is still so young and we know that it won't be long before she too is happily purring on her foster mom's lap.Charlie, Rose and Petunia are approximately 3 months old.As cute as they are, for awhile anyway, the world really doesn't need more kittens.Please sterilize your cats and if they aren't sterilized, don't let them roam outdoors.If you would like to meet Charlie, Petunia and Rose, please send an email to frontieranimalsociety@gmail.com and we will happily set up a visit.Charlie Petunia Did you know That a charitable gift annuity will permit you to receive a comfortable, pre-determined retirement

written that chronic inflammation has been linked to diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.Is there anything I can do to fight inflammation without using medications?DEAR READER: Inflammation in the body is a double-edged sword.Shortlived inflammation, directed by your immune system at invaders like bacteria or viruses, protects your health.But sometimes inflammation persists, even when there is no health threat.That\u2019s when it can become your enemy.Many major diseases have been linked to chronic (ongoing) inflammation, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression and Alzheimer\u2019s.The good news is that powerful tools to combat inflammation can be found in the grocery store.I spoke to my colleague Dr.Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.He explained that components of many common foods have anti-inflammatory effects.By choosing the right foods, you may be able to reduce your risk of illness.Consistently pick the wrong foods, however, and you might speed up the inflammatory disease process.The same foods that contribute to inflammation are already generally considered bad for our health, so it\u2019s easier to remember them.They include sodas, refined carbohydrates, and red and processed meats.These foods affect inflammation directly.They also contribute to weight gain, which is itself a risk factor for inflammation.How does that happen?When you put on weight, the fat cells in your body become more numerous and also grow larger.We used to think that what fat did was provide a storehouse of energy for when we needed it, sort of like insulation that protected us against the cold.In the past 20 years we\u2019ve learned that fat cells are little factories that make hormones and immune system chemicals.These substances influence our appetite, our metabolism \u2014 and inflammation.To reduce inflammation, avoid or limit: \u2014 Refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pastries; \u2014 Fried foods such as french fries; \u2014 Soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages; \u2014 Red meat (burgers, steaks); \u2014 Processed meat (hot dogs, cold cuts); \u2014 Margarine, shortening and lard.On the flip side are foods and beverages that reduce the risk of inflammation and chronic disease.Fruits and vegetables are particularly effective.Good choices are blueberries, apples and leafy greens, which are high in natural antioxidants and polyphenols.These are protective compounds found in plants.Nuts and coffee may also be protective.THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2016 Today is the 308th day of 2016 and the 43rd day of autumn.TODAYS HISTORY; In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 2 with a dog named Laika aboard.Laika was the first creature to be sent into orbit.In 1964, residents of Washington, D.C., were eligible to vote in the presidential election for the first time since the city was established in 1800.In 1992, Democrat Bill Clinton defeated incumbent Republican George Bush and independent candidate Ross Perot to win the U.S.presidency.In 2014, One World Trade Center opened in New York City.TODAYS BIRTHDAYS; William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878), poet/journalist; Walker Evans (1903-1975), photographer; Charles Bronson (1921-2003), actor; Michael Dukakis (1933- ), politician; Larry Holmes (1949- ), boxer; Anna Win-tour (1949-\t), fashion journalist; Roseanne Barr (1952- ), comedian/-actress; Kate Capshaw (1953- ), actress; Dennis Miller (1953- ), comedian; Phil Simms (1955- ), football player/sports-caster; Dolph Lundgren (1957- ), actor; Evgeni Plushenko (1982- ), figure skater.TODAYS FACT; Though he didn\u2019t receive a single electoral vote, third-party candidate Ross Perot won 18.9 percent of the popular vote nationally in 1992.TODAYS SPORTS; In 1990, opposing quarterbacks David Klingler of Houston and Matt Vogler of Texas Christian University achieved a combined 80 completions, 1,253 passing yards and 12 touchdowns.Houston won 56-35.TODAYS QUOTE; \u201cThese struggling tides of life that seem / In wayward, aimless course to tend, / Are eddies of the mighty stream / That rolls to its appointed end.\u201d \u2014 William Cullen Bryant, \u201cThe Crowded Street\u201d TODAYS NUMBER; 162 - days Sputnik 2 was in orbit.Laika, its canine passenger, died within hours of the launch due to overheating.TODAYS MOON: Between new moon (Oct.30) and first quarter moon (Nov.7).Include plenty of these anti-inflammatory foods in your diet: \u2014 Tomatoes \u2014 Olive oil \u2014 Green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale and collards \u2014 Nuts, such as almonds and walnuts \u2014 Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines \u2014 Fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, apples, cherries and oranges \u2014 Spices, particularly ginger and turmeric If you\u2019re looking for a dietary plan that closely follows the tenets of anti-inflammatory eating, consider the Mediterranean diet.This diet is high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fish and healthy oils.(This column ran originally in October 2014.)

Here\u2019s my question: I am trying to persuade Sarah to tell Mary what\u2019s up and ask Mary whether she is OK with her dating Lance.Otherwise, she\u2019ll find out through the grapevine.Sarah keeps saying she will talk to Mary, but she hasn\u2019t yet.I feel as if I\u2019m in the middle of this ugly, cheating relationship.Mary would be so hurt and angry with me if she found out that Lance had been cheating on her and I knew about it.Or if she didn\u2019t find out about the cheating and she just heard about Dear Annie Lance\u2019s \u201cnew\u201d relationship with Sarah, she\u2019d be hurt I knew about it and said nothing.Do I have any responsibility as a friend here, to either Mary or Sarah?\u2014 Head Spinning in North Carolina Dear Spinning: Your head might be spinning, but I guarantee it\u2019s still on straighter than Sarah\u2019s and Lance\u2019s.Those two need to wise up and calm down, Lance in particular.He\u2019s spun you and these three women into a very tangled web.Normally, I tell people not to get in the middle of friends\u2019 relationship problems.But I think this situation is a little different, and Mary deserves to hear the truth in a respectful way.It\u2019s crummy news no matter what, but it would be better delivered from a close friend than from the gossip mill.Please advise Mary that she is the luckiest one, whether she realizes it yet or not.Dear Readers: I recently printed a letter from a man who is fed up with servers asking, after he has given them cash, whether he needs any change.I asked you, my readers, what your thoughts were on the matter, and boy, I heard from a lot of you.Here\u2019s just one of many responses.$tay tuned for more.Dear Annie: I can so relate to the gentleman who gets angry with clueless waitstaff asking whether he needs change.Unlike you, I think this is a trained and calculated maneuver.It happens too often for it not to be.I once went to a fairly expensive chain restaurant for brunch.It was busy, and we waited a bit too long, but otherwise the service was OK.My bill was $9 and change, and I handed the waiter a $20 bill.He asked that question: \u201cDo you need change?\u201d Really?A120 percent gratuity?Ever since then, I have become more and more aware of this tactic.And my conclusion is that there can\u2019t be that many oblivious servers.This is a directive and probably an effective one.I, for one, react as the gentleman does \u2014 by truncating what would have been a healthy tip.\u2014 Hugely Peeved $end your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@cre-ators.com.
