the perfect time to give it a try, with families looking to spend more time together.United Church of Lennoxville having a \u2018messy-ish\u2019 Christmas By Rachel Newcombe Holidays are a time for family, and the United Church of Lennoxville\u2019s minister Linda Buchanan is making sure that there really is something for everyone in their upcoming Sunday services.On Dec.11, they will be hosting their first \u2018Messy-ish Advent\u2019, specifically designed for congregants of all ages.The time of advent is marked in the church as the official start to the New Year, and the lead up to the birth of Christ.Each Sunday features something different while focusing on teaching and celebration.In the past, the United Church has had a Sunday during advent focused on children, with a pageant and a luncheon.\u201cWe are maintaining all of those traditions with a couple of shifts,\u201d Buchanan, who became the minister earlier this summer, explained.\u201cThe idea is that the whole service will be child friendly.\u201d She admitted that with especially young children making up a lot of the youth in her congregation, it would be an interesting challenge for her.This will be one component of the day.Buchanan explained that they would also have activities for children and their families to do together or on their own.This event stemmed from the Messy Church program created by Lucy Moore, which Buchanan is adapting to suit her community, hence the name \u2018messy-ish\u2019.\u201cIt\u2019s a program that recognizes Sunday morning does not always attract young families,\u201d she explained.The current format just does not hold a young child\u2019s attention, and children can end up also taking up the parents\u2019 attention.With this particular style, \u201cIt\u2019s about the whole family\u201d.The holidays are the perfect time to give it a try, with families looking to spend more time together.\u201cIt\u2019s creative family time,\u201d Buchanan said.With busy day-to-day lives, \u201cwe don\u2019t always know how to take time,\u201d she said.This way they can talk about their values and their morals in a fun and creative way.Buchanan described the potential of the sermon and the stations, which range from cooking to crafting to medi- tation and reflection.It really does have a little something festive for everyone.The Christmas spirit will continue to spill over into the following Sunday when the choir will lead the service, sending the congregation into the Christmas week full of good cheer and happy songs.With her first holiday season approaching as minister, Buchanan said she was really looking forward to these new events.\u201cEvery community celebrates this time of year differently, and I\u2019m excited to participate fully,\u201d she said, adding that she felt the overwhelming support of the community and the abundance of holiday joy.Businesses go green Cont\u2019d from page 1 \u201cAmerican Biltrite Canada is a medium sized business on the export markets,\u201d the general manager said.\u201cGiven that, the majority of our investment over the past few years has been for product development, new equipment, and adaptations for health and safety.Investing in the environment and in energy efficiency is hard for us.Without the eco-performance program we never would have been able to announce this project today.\u201d Arcand said that although it can be hard for companies to get a foot in the door when it comes to updating for energy efficiency, there is incentive for them in the long-term cost savings brought in through the work.With regard to the work of the province in general in meeting targets for carbon emission reduction, the minister said that he feels Quebec is on good track, but still has a long way to go.\u201cThat\u2019s why we have a policy for the electrification of transportation, why we\u2019re doing this work with energy efficiency, and why we are working with these sorts of programs,\u201d Arcand said, adding that the Liberal Government wants to create a an organization with GORDON LAMBIE IrtST* Valerie Sapin, marketing and innovation director with Gaz Metro; Luc Fortin, Minister for the Estrie Region; Pierre Arcand, Minister of Natural Resources; and Jean Pierre Benoit, General Manager of American Biltrite Canada at the American Biltrite factory in Sherbrooke on Friday morning

he acted in 354 movies between 1908 and 1932, produced 684 movies between 1911 to 1935, and was a screenwriter for 50 movies between 1908 to 1932.Sennett is credited with the discovery of Charlie Chaplin and of Bing Crosby, among others.Niknamed the King of Comedy, Mack Sennett was awarded an Oscar in 1932 for the best short film, For Wrestling Swordfishs and a special Oscar in 1937 for his contribution to Holly- wood comedy.When he retired in 1935, he came back to live Canada, but later passed away in a Los Angeles suburb, Woodland Hills, November 5, 1960.He was then inducted to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.PHOTO OF PUBLIC DOMAIN : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mack_sennett Veteran visits Magog Scouts Dr.Marc Dauphin was a guest speaker visiting the 4th Lake Magog scouts on November 21st.Dr.Dauphin served in Kandahar, Afghanistan as an ER doctor in charge triage at Role 3 Hospital where 97% of wounded would come out alive, thus marking a world record.PHOTOS COURTESY OF ANNIE BARON Leaders: Bagheera (Adam), Akela (Anne), Dr.Dauphin, Baloo (Lucette) and Rama (Annie) Hyr Veteran visit with troop- Appearing on picture: Cubs: Xavier, Wyatt, Ethan and Aaron Scouts: Geoffrey, Darrin, Tristan and Gabriel (Emilia-sister-) Leaders: Baloo, Rama, Akela, Dr.Dauphin and Bagheera y PressReaderN 604 278 4604 APPLICABLE L AW J press l£A!> M nd distributed by PressReader.com ?+1 604 ND PROTECTED BY The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, November 28, 20 16 Page 5 Townships Trivia: Name that Village Ql.YBHC ÂNCLOPITONI Heritage Network QAHN Réseau du Patrimoine ANCLOPI ION]-: DU QuÉRKC R FAQ By Matthew Farfan Executive Director, Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) .4.lÿ- 1)\tThis early postcard, c.1910, shows a scene overlooking what village on what lake?a)\tNorth Hatley, Lake Massawippi b)\tLac-Mégantic, Lake Megantic c)\tGeorgeville, Lake Memphremagog d)\tAyer's Cliff, Lake Massawippi J 7 \"A.2)\tThis aerial view, c.1940, shows what village and lake?a)\tMagog, Lake Memphremagog b)\tEastman, Lake Orford c)\tGeorgeville, Lake Memphremagog d)\tNorth Hatley, Lake Massawippi » & » 3)\tThis photograph from 1910 is taken just up the street from the village \"Common\" or \"Green.\" But where?a)\tKnowlton b)\tHatley c)\tMansonville d)\tEastman 4)\tThis village, seen here c.1930, was settled by French-Canadians repatriated from New England in the 1870s.Mount Megantic is visible in this photo.But what village is it?a)\tLa Patrie b)\tSainte-Edwidge-de-Clifton c)\tSaint-Herménégilde d)\tSaint-Venant-de-Paquette 5)\tThis village is known for its 12-sides barn, seen here on the left.Name it.a)\tMilby b)\tMystic c)\tMegantic d)\tMelbourne LILMÜ il X IVs-uli* 6)\tThis building, seen here c.1905, is still standing today.Built as a hotel in 1865, it housed the Odd Fellows hall on the upper floor.Name the town.a)\tBedford b)\tDunham c)\tStanbridge East d)\tFrelighsburg 7)\tThe Eastern Townships Bank, which was swallowed up by the Bank of Commerce in 1912, built branches all over the Townships.This branch is still standing today (minus the dome).What town is it in?a)\tRock Island b)\tFarnham c)\tCoaticook d)\tNo idea, that could be anywhere! a r ' ' *i 8)\tThis view, taken in the 1860s, shows Commercial (later Dufferin) Street from the Magog Bridge.What town is it?a)\tOmerville b)\tMagog c)\tSherbrooke d)\tRock Forest 9)\tThe town in this photo was a major lumber producer and was settled largely by Scottish immigrants.Name it.a)\tStornoway b)\tScotstown c)\tSawyerville d)\tGould 10)\tThis town, seen here c.1920, was settled by Loyalists in the 1790s.Can you name it?Hint: a major ski resort is nearby.a)\tSutton b)\tOrford c)\tBromont d)\tMansonville \tQuebec I Icnt3.pc News Quebec\u2019s English-language heritage magazine.\"Y\" Quebec * A\t Henfape\tPopular history \u2022 Profiles of remarkable people and events Nov»\t\u2022 Contemporary issues in heritage conservation \u2022 Book reviews ¦1%\t\u2022 Insightful commentary \u2022 and much more.mm hMh\tSubscribe Now!

as it is up to the survivor to decide what they want to do and what their needs may be.Only 6 out of 100 sexual assaults are taken to the police according to Sexual Assaults Canada.By having a support group in Alpha Phi, sisters are able to ask for help and are empowered to tell their story.Sisters are also there to listen.If a member does not wish to report the incident, regardless of the amount of persuasion from others, sisters respect that decision and offer support by any means possible.Bishop\u2019s University understands the reality and severity of sexual assault and has created opportunities for students to learn about the signs of sexual assault and how to intervene and help others.The Residence Life Team and other integral members of the University, including the Dean of Student Affairs, participated in Bystander Intervention Training that fo- cussed primarily on sexual assault.This year, all 800 members of the 2016 incoming class attended mandatory sessions of the training throughout Orientation Week.By doing so, Bishop\u2019s University is taking a proactive stance against sexual assault.The mission is for this to continue each year for the subsequent incoming classes.Becoming a member of Alpha Phi allows young women to access available resources, as well as educate and support members.The Fraternity offers opportunities to get to know other women on campus to develop a deep sense of friendship and sisterhood.Sisters want to look out for each other while also offering a chance for personal growth.This can be accomplished with the simple gesture of support, understanding, and continuous empowerment.Alpha Phi has partnered with the Lennoxville and District\u2019s Women\u2019s Centre to promote a campaign against sexual violence on campus and throughout the community.Alpha Phi hosted a White Ribbon Campaign on campus Thursday, November 24th to promote awareness and educate students in hopes to expel myths about violence against women./Vould you like to sponsor a family, or a child this holiday season?Contact the Lennoxville & District Women\u2019s Centre to participate, & fulfill the wishes of someon our community.(819)564-6626 info@ldwc.ca COURTESY Alpha Phi white ribbons IMPAIRED DRIVERS CREATE PENALTIES THAT NEVER END.press fjLVVLU Printed and distributed by PressReader Pres^R e a d er -Jjo\t0 4^27 8 4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 8 Monday, November 28, 2016 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record ASK THE EXPERTS BUSINESS DIRECTORY REAL ESTATE \u2022 INVESTMENTS OPTOMETRISTS HOUSE OF THE WEEK SAWYERVILLE Completely renovated 4 bedroom home with garage.This open concept home is located close to schools, churches, stores and only 15 minutes from Lennoxville.Priced to sell.Call me today for a private visit.Helen Lebrecque, Real Estate Broker Cell: 819-572-1070 nlabrecque@eutton.com SUTTON Groupe Sutton-\tQ1 Q Q Oft ft 777 SS immobilier Eslrie\tO I Î/ 04U U f / / \u2022\tLODGING \u2022\tNOTARY \u2022\tOPTOMETRISTS \u2022\tPROFESSIONAL PAINTING \u2022\tREAL ESTATE \u2022\tTREE SERVICE OPTO RÉSEAU 160 Queen St., Sherbrooke For professional eye care services, call 819-563-2333 Dr.Meggie Faust and Dr.Alain Côté, Optometrists Help your children learn about their community by reading ¦ the ¦ RECORD To subscribe, call 819-569-9528 or 450-242-1188 TREE SERVICE INVESTMENTS INVESTMENTS ArboExcellence Stephen Goddard, prop.ISA Certified Arborist QU-0103A Professional Tree Service \u2022\tPruning \u2022\tTree removal \u2022\tStump grinding \u2022\tChipping \u2022\tCabling & bracing \u2022\tHedge trimming \u2022\tPlanting \u2022\tLot clearing \u2022\tForestry \u2022\tConsulting www.arboexcellence.ca Over 25 years experience Fully insured Free estimate Cell: 819-821 -0425 Tel./Fax: 819-562-1642 LODGING Every dream needs a plan.Richard F.Tracy Mutual Fund Dealing Representative 819-943-2075 GLOBAL MAXFIN INVESTMENTS [ N C.46 Speid St., Sherbrooke, QC JIM 1S4 Helping clients invest for their future.Support local businesses!
