Lately, though, I\u2019ve been wanting to get a navy blue blazer, because sometimes a man just wants to feel pretty.This past weekend, I found myself in Ogilvy\u2019s in Montreal.To the best of my recollection, this was the first time I\u2019d ever been in Ogilvy\u2019s.I\u2019ve never seen myself as an Ogilvy\u2019s kind of guy.I\u2019m more of a guy-outside-Ogilvy\u2019s-playing-the- spoons kind of guy.I ended up there while shopping with my brother- and sister-in-law and some of their clan.We were the kind of crowd that immediately puts security on alert.We definitely gave off a shenanigans vibe.Ogilvy\u2019s enters through revolving doors (we had fun with the revolving doors) into a hub of femininity, highlighted by the glamourous trifecta of perfumes, purses and watches.While the women browsed, the men stood about mispronouncing \u201cLouis Vuitton\u201d and debating the burning question: Emma Stone \u2013 hot or not?Unlike most department stores where you can see unexplored consumer lands shimmering on the horizon, the first floor of Ogilvy\u2019s is a self-contained, scented cell.One accesses other floors by disappearing down long corridors that give the impression that they may in fact be leading people like me directly to the exit and that the real access involves a secret handshake with a well-coiffed clerk named Siegfried.But it did indeed bring us to the \u201cescalier mécanique\u201d and the women\u2019s and men\u2019s wear sections on the second floor.I had already decided the blazers at the Sears bankruptcy sale were a too pricey (I mean, they were no yard sale bargains), but for fun I decided to head to men\u2019s to check out what was being worn these days by the posh man on the go.When I shop, which is rare, I don\u2019t want the sales clerks bothering me.\u201cCan I help you?\u201d they ask.That\u2019s a loaded question.\u201cNot for the moment,\u201d I usually say.\u201cOkie-doke! If you need anything I\u2019ll be right here breathing in your ear.Hey, did you know there\u2019s a cigarette burn on your jacket?\u201d But this was not an option at Ogilvy\u2019s.No one offered to help.I received only the stares of the stern male clerks who looked like they\u2019d been working there since my Hugo Boss was in style.To them, I was clearly beyond help.It\u2019s true I was wearing jeans and a shapeless, green sweatshirt, but that was only because it was cold outside; underneath I had a very nice cardigan in which there was only one tear.And, yes, my beard is not of the kempt variety, but how did they know this wasn\u2019t some kind of Pretty Woman scenario and that I wasn\u2019t coming back later with my monocle and opera spats to shout at them, \u201cBig mistake! And Emma Stone is clearly attractive but not inherently hot!\u201d Unfazed, I went about feeling lapels and cuffs, making sure to do so only on the mannequins.One particular navy blazer caught my eye.So lightweight, so supple, so chained to the rack with a security cord.Then I turned over the price tag: $3750! Now I understood that the store clerks weren\u2019t ignoring me; they were simply keeping all eyes on my nephew carrying a doggy bag of greasy pizza.But $3750 for a single piece of clothing! And that didn\u2019t even include pants! Or a manservant! I am not inherently against wealth; I would like some, please.But how can anyone justify spending that much money on a piece of clothing whose only practical benefit, at least for me, is to create the illusion of shoulders?That\u2019s $1875 per shoulder! It reminded me that our entire consumer system is built on illusion.Whether it\u2019s a blazer, a pair of shoes or a painting that subsequently disappears into a covert shredder, we give items value because we decide they have value, not because of their tangible worth.If I had boundless wealth, would I buy a $3750 blazer?Hypotheticals are hard to say, like \u201cLouis Vuitton.\u201d But I like to think that instead I would purchase 750 five-dollar blazers and keep the very real yard sale industry alive for always.Ben by Daniel Shelton Weather TODAY: 60% CHANCE OF FLURRIES HIGH OF 1 LOW OF

Lake Memphremagog and Lake Massawippi.Neither of those lakes has a camp on it to serve the regular children of the community,\u201d Stafford said, adding that although Camp Massawippi provides an excellent service for campers with special needs, it is important for children of all ages and backgrounds to have access to a camp environment.\u201cThis is the last chance to have a camp on Lake Massawippi,\u201d he said, adding that he is enthusiastic and passionate about this next step.While focused on getting the construction of the lodge underway, Sheeran also pointed out that this new development opens the doors of the camp for other kinds of outreach and promotion, specifically rental opportunities that would make the space useful and active outside of the regular camp season.\u201cWe think we can expand the usage of the Bodtker lodge,\u201d she said, noting that the former Quebec Lodge regularly welcomed school, corporate, and community visitors throughout the year.More information about Quebec Lodge is available online at https://www.quebeclodge.org/ Quebec Lodge By Steve Blake Special to The Record Life on the border presents some challenges.But it also has its benefits, even though federal governments have gotten stricter regarding border crossing issues since September 11, 2001.Local fire departments in Vermont and Quebec have had mutual aid agreements for several years.Customs officials on both sides of the border respect the agreements and, for the most part, allow fire trucks responding to a fire to speed through.But firefighters stop and report on their way back.Chris Goodsell, the battalion chief at the Stanstead, Quebec station of the recently merged Memphremagog East Fire Department, said it has been that way for decades.\u201cFire doesn\u2019t understand the term, border boundaries,\u201d he said.\u201cStanstead and Derby Line have a great relationship \u2013 we just go,\u201d he said, explaining that there\u2019s an understanding that firefighters aren\u2019t crossing the border to go shopping.\u201cWe\u2019re going to an emergency.\u201d He noted that firefighters who cross the border in their personal vehicles do stop at the customs and report.They are not the first on the scene, Goodsell said.Derby Line and Stanstead are part of a larger agreement among departments in Orleans County and the Eastern Townships called Northeast International Mutual Aid (NEIMA).It includes 17 departments in Orleans County and four in southern Quebec, including Man- sonville, just across the border from North Troy, on the west side of Lake Memphremagog.The Mansonville department called several Vermont departments to a recent barn fire, Goodsell said.The NEIMA departments don\u2019t bill each other, Goodsell said.\u201cI think it balances out one year to the next.\u201d But the departments can use resources from other departments that they don\u2019t have.Stanstead doesn\u2019t have a ladder truck, but Derby Line does, he said.Derby Line has one tanker, while Stanstead has two.The U.S.government installed gates several years ago on two international side streets between Derby Line and Stanstead.Those streets were easy access for emergency vehicles.Local residents refused to allow a gate on the third Page 4 Thursday , October 18, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Halloween trick-or-treat food drive By Jayme Marrotte For a third year running, Phelps Helps, Border Hockey and Cab Rediker will be teaming up on Halloween night for a local canned food drive.Have your candy and non-perish- ables ready for the local kids who will be trading in the traditional trick-or-treat- ing to give back to their community.The non-perishable items collected on Halloween night are donated to support Cab Rediker\u2019s food programs.The trick-or- treat food drive will run from 6:00-8:00 pm and will be organized through the streets in Stanstead (Stanstead, Rock Island and Beebe).Volunteer youth will be identified with orange badges.If the collection teams do not make it to your area, we invite you to drop off your canned items at Cab Rediker or Phelps Helps (on the Notre-Dame side).Are you interested in helping this great cause?Phelps is still seeking 15 volunteer youth to go door-to-door to collect non-perishables.Please help make this year another successful one!

CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 5 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday , October 18, 2018 Page 5 Frontier Animal Society Featured Pet:Petal When Petal was dropped off at our shelter, she was scared and she wanted nothing more than to crawl into a dark corner and hide.Despite her shyness, even then, we knew she was a sweet girl who just needed a little time to settle in.Petal is a gentle and sensitive young cat who is barely out of kittenhood.She is still a little timid but she so wants to be loved and she just can't help but purr when pet.When she feels safe and secure she is very affectionate Petal will do best in a calmer home where she can settle into the household routine at her own pace but it shouldn't take long before she makes herself at home.She has come so far at the shelter and we know that once in a quieter environment, she will feel so much more at peace.She really enjoys human attention and we know she will be an amazing companion.Because Petal is still a little intimidated by the hustle and bustle of our larger cat room, she spends most of her time apart from the colony.She does however regularly socialize with another of our shyer cats and she is clearly enjoying the company.We think Petal will do just fine in a home with other friendly cats who aren\u2019t territorial and will accept her into their fold.Petal is quite petite and delicate and we would love for her to find a loving home before the long, cold days of winter.Petal is too timid to be an outdoor cat so we are looking for a home where she will be safely kept indoors.To meet Petal or any of our other wonderful cats, please come to our Cat Adoption Open House which takes place every Saturday from 10 a.m to noon at 2405 Griffin in Ogden.To make an appointment to visit, give

border and is used by Americans and Canadians alike.When people, mostly from out of the area, began getting large fines for unknowingly driving across the border on Church Street, residents agreed to place large flower pots to block traffic.And the U.S.Border Patrol frequently parks at the head of the street to keep watch.\u201cWe weren\u2019t crazy about the gates,\u201d Goodsell said, but he knows the reasoning behind them.\u201cA number of times the streets were used for illegal crossing.\u201d \u201cThere are border issues we don\u2019t know about,\u201d Derby Line Fire Chief Craig Ellam said.The departments mostly use the main border crossing in emergencies, but the flower pots on Church Street could easily be moved.The fire departments have remote controls for the gates, but they haven\u2019t used them.Ellam said he tried it once to see if it worked, but it set off alarms and several Border Patrol officers responded.\u201cThe Border Patrol didn\u2019t know we had them,\u201d he said.The Canadian government put up a sign last year at the top of Church Street in front of the pots, but Goodsell said he insisted it be removed.\u201cI said I bet I could get up to 30 miles per hour in reverse and take it out,\u201d he said.The sign is no longer there.Church Street could be the only alternative for emergency vehicles when there is a lot of traffic on Route 5 in Derby Line and Route 143 in Stanstead.Friday, October 5, was the beginning of the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, and the traffic in the southbound lane of the main streets was backed up from the Route 5 customs in Derby Line nearly to the top of the hill in Stanstead.Ellam said he expected it to be the same way at the end of the holiday weekend as the Canadians returned home.Although the customs officials don\u2019t expect the trucks to stop on the way to a fire, the firefighters are sometimes questioned when they return.\u201cSometimes it\u2019s a hassle to get back,\u201d Ellam said.\u201cThey ask for IDs and passports.\u201d But, he said, when firefighters are called to an emergency they react quickly and don\u2019t think of getting their identification.\u201cThey know what we\u2019ve been doing and we want to get back.\u201d Ellam said it\u2019s due to the turnover in customs officers.Goodsell said he experiences the same thing returning to Canada from time to time, depending on which customs officers are on duty.\u201cTwenty-five years ago the customs officers were all local; they knew all the guys.\u201d Now many of the officers live out of town.Goodsell pointed out that, unlike the customs officials, the firefighters on either side of the border are not making a living doing what they do.\u201cThey do it because they want to help.\u201d Despite the challenges of cross-border mutual aid it is beneficial for communities in both countries.\u201cWe consider ourselves fortunate,\u201d Goodsell said.\u201cWe have a good relationship with our neighbors, we have the same number of trucks, and our stations are a half-mile apart.We don\u2019t expect people who don\u2019t live on the border to understand.\u201d (PHOTO BY STEVE BLAKE) Chris

Ayer\u2019s Cliff Legion Branch 128 held a ceremony on Oct.15 in preparation for the annual national Poppy Campaign.While poppies will go on sale officially next week, Branch 128 held a special poppy presentation with the Mayors of Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Hatley Stanstead-East and Magog in advance of the campaign.This year the campaign coincides with the 100th year anniversary of the end of the First World War.The Remembrance Day ceremony has played a major role in Remembrance since 1931.Every year, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we gather in memorial parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes to stand in honour of all who have fallen.Together, we observe a moment of silence to mark the sacrifice of the many who have fallen in the service of their country, and to acknowledge the courage of those who still serve.The Poppy has became the symbol of Remembrance based on First World War records indicating how thick Poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France.Remembrance Day ceremonies will take place first in Magog on Thursday, Nov.8 at 11 a.m.in front of the monument situated at le Parc des Braves on Rue Principale street.A second ceremony will be held in Hatley at the Community Center on Saturday, Nov.10 at 11 a.m.Finally, the Sunday, Nov.11 parade will take place in Ayer\u2019s Cliff at 11h00 in front of the monument on Main Street.As in previous years, students from Princess Elisabeth and Saint-Patrick schools will participate in the Magog ceremony, during which they will read poems they have prepared for the occasion.COURTESY EDITORIAL Page 6 Thursday , October 18, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Although cannabis has therapeutic properties and it is acceptable for adults to use it recreationally, it can also have a serious impact on brain development and mental health.DEAR EDITOR: Look around you at this time in our seasonal rotations and view the spectacle of colour and produce provided for us, We have only to be gatherers and \"storers\" and our lives are secure and provided for another winter and spring.We will wait as the earth rests, the seeds are stored and the time of tilling the soil and planting begins anew.Every tree has its own distinct shape of leaves and seeds and its own colour, now in full raiment.The fruit trees bear the same kind of fruit from generation to generation.In the Fourth book of Moses, 5000 years ago there is a reading: \"We remember.cucumber, melons, onion, leek and garlic.\" Are these not familiar to our own tables (menus) and gardens?There is much joy and praising for the produce of our gardens; enough to last the winter and to share with friends.Our heritage of awareness of the connection between the good earth and our place in it and the Provided is being eroded, erased and exited because people are very busy with priorities, prosperity and personal problems.Are people too busy \"wanting\" to remember Thanksgiving?Why are our churches not full of people Singing, Praising and Praying?We are a blessed people.All our wants and needs are provided.Have we forgotten?A.H.CLARK Letters 6 Mallory,

way into our communities.Young Canadians were already the biggest cannabis users in developed countries.It was already easy to get from people with ties to organized crime and was of questionable, if not dangerous, quality.Our government does not trivialize cannabis.Personally, I have never been in favour of its use, but for its legalization and regulation because I believe that this will better protect our youth.It will force us, as parents and as a society, to lift our heads out of the sand and take concrete action to fight this scourge.Although cannabis has therapeutic properties and it is acceptable for adults to use it recreationally, it can also have a serious impact on brain development and mental health.Cannabis use obviously dulls our faculties and can cause serious accidents on the road or at work.Our government recognizes all this, and it is because the old system of prohibition did not work that we decided to take the bull by the horns.We are increasing awareness campaigns, as has successfully been done for drinking and driving and smoking.We are improving the training and equipment available to our police officers.We are now investing in research.Cannabis is no longer taboo.Young people are still not allowed to use cannabis.From now on, those who make the mistake of using it will be punished, but will not see the rest of their lives ruined by a criminal record.On the other hand, adults who are arrested for giving or selling cannabis to young people will face criminal prosecution and stiffer penalties.As with any change, there will be a transition period.We must tame the beast.We need to talk to our youth, our tenants and our employees about it.Managing staff is never easy, education even less so.As adults and as a society, we must have the courage to tackle sensitive issues that go beyond our comfort zone.The time has come to do so to protect our youth from the dangers of cannabis.MARIE-CLAUDE BIBEAU, P.C.MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR COMPTON- STANSTEAD MINISTER OF INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT The legalization of cannabis in Canada Cans and Bottles Fundraisers We have just successfully completed the Terry Fox Fundraiser for Cancer

sance Gala on November 16 in Asbestos.Provincial parks open to dogs Record Staff Sépaq , Quebec\u2019s parks and wildlife reserves management agency, will allow access to visitors accompanied by a dog in some sectors and under certain conditions in most Québec provincial parks beginning next May, after a successful two-year pilot project.\"We have rigorously analyzed the data collected in five national parks and have noted that the rules established to preserve the natural environments and foster harmonious cohabitation have been respected and that the customer experience has not been negatively affected by the presence of dogs,\" said Sépaq Vice President, National Parks Operations, Catherine Grenier.Starting next spring, in most Sépaq parks, dogs will be allowed along certain camping loops and clearly defined trails.Other than in these sectors, dogs will not be allowed so as to preserve the visitor experience of those who do not wish to encounter dogs and to protect more sensitive environments.Anticosti and Île-Bonaventure-et-du- Rocher-Percé national parks and Sague- nay-St.Lawrence Marine Park, because of their specific biological constraints and their special characteristics, will continue to prohibit dogs.Between now and spring 2019, the five national parks that were part of the pilot project (Oka, Jacques-Cartier, Frontenac, Aiguebelle, and Lac-Témiscouata) will continue to allow dogs under the conditions already in effect.Wildlife reserves and tourist establishments already allow dogs.An increasing number of Québec families consider their dog as a full-fledged member of the household.The three-year pilot project revealed a high compliance rate with the rules imposed on owners to limit the impact of their dogs during busy periods.Here are some examples: \u2022 Dogs kept on a leash: 93 per cent (summer) and 95 per cent (fall) \u2022 Leash of no more than 3 metres: 96 per cent (summer) and 97 per cent (fall) \u2022 Presence of feces in campgrounds: less than 1 per cent \u2022 Customer satisfaction rate: 92 per cent (campgrounds) and 98 per cent (day visitors) The same rules will apply everywhere where dogs are allowed.Compliance will continue to be measured and enforced by various means of monitoring, including park warden patrols.Sépaq collaborated with an external committee of experts, including scientific researchers and animal health representatives among others, throughout the duration of the pilot project.Adjustments may be made to increase monitoring if rates of compliance with the rules begin to decrease.Dogs could again be banned for good or for a specific period of time on a trail, in a sector, or throughout an entire park if the rules are not respected.The behaviour of dog owners has been at the heart of the pilot project.The exercise has shown that due to peer pressure they are more likely to follow the rules in the busiest areas.The concentration of the paces accessible to dogs in busy sectors can contribute positively to the compliance rate, notably during the cold season.Authorized sectors have been grouped together in clearly defined areas to promote a clear understanding among visitors and to facilitate rule enforcement.These areas have been selected based on limited potential impacts on natural environments, a capacity to enforce the rules, and the possibility for multi-purpose use.In the months ahead, clear signposting in national parks will be unveiled, employees will be trained, and the population will be informed about these developments.Sépaq is opting for an integrated and harmonious approach that promotes respect for natural environments and preserves the customer experience while allowing regulated access for dogs.Authorized sectors as of May 2019 are indicated can be found at: https://www.sepaq.com/animaux/index.d ot?language_id=1 Lennoxville campuses ban cannabis from being consumed By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record As Canada legalized recreational marijuana across the country yesterday, several education institutions established their own bylaws regarding the drug.Under provincial law, cannabis cannot be sold to minors and can only be sold at the Société Québécoise du cannabis (SQDC).SQDC stores must be located further than 250 metres from preschools, elementary schools, and high schools.Possession, illegal for those under 18, is also prohibited on school grounds and in school buildings, including adult learning centres and vocational training centres.However, universities and colleges are not subjected to such strict laws, and legislation remains up to the institution\u2019s administration.Bishop\u2019s University has developed its policy with student consultations.Consuming cannabis in any form, whether it be by smoking, by ingesting, or by vaping, will be prohibited on the Bishop\u2019s and Champlain College campus, according to Quebec law.Students over 18 can possess up to 30 grams of cannabis in residence, or on exterior parts of the campus, namely outside.Possession in any other building (sports complex, library, academic buildings, dining hall, etc.) will not be tolerated.Cannabis will have to be in a sealed and labeled container.Moreover, the university requires that the drug be legally obtained \u2013 students should keep their receipts and original containers for proof of purchase.Finally, only campus residents who are over 18 can have cannabis shipped by the SQDC to the Porter\u2019s Post office.Those who do not meet these requirements will see their packages be returned to the sender.The consumption of cannabis can have negative effects, especially on those with a family history of mental illness, so the university provides confidential support at their counselling centre for those concerned about their consumption habits.The consumption of authorized medicinal use of cannabis is permitted for staff and students, and the university will adhere to Quebec human rights legislation regarding its consideration of a request for accommodation.Requests will be assessed on a case-by- case basis and will be dealt in accordance to human resources produces for the university\u2019s employees and by the Dean of Student Affairs for its students.Although Quebec is known for its leniency towards the consumption of alcohol with a legal drinking age of 18 and extended bar hours, marijuana users in the province will be subject to one of the country\u2019s strictest policies, as François Legault\u2019s CAQ hopes to bring up the legal age to purchase cannabis to 21.For now, Sherbrooke has banned the consumption of the drug in all public areas, including streets, alleys, parks, and sidewalks, and landlords have the right to change signed leases specifically to ban tenants from smoking marijuana.Therefore, some tenants might find themselves unable to consume the now legal drug at home and in public.However, landlords cannot ban the use of medicinal marijuana.Quoted by Le Devoir, Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau recently tried to reassure worried parents and citizens by reminding them that the federal law aims to protect young Canadians.\u201cWe are not controlling cannabis because we think that it is good for our health.We are controlling cannabis because we know it is not good for our children.We know we must do a better job at protecting our children and massively reducing the profits that go towards organized crime.\u201d Page 8 Thursday , October 18 , 2018

study shows that the severity of corrosion can be controlled by applying regular rust protection to a vehicle, especially if applied early in a car\u2019s life.The University of Windsor engineering faculty compared vehicles protected with Krown rust protection to unprotected vehicles.They found a statistically signi?cant increase in the amount of rust on unprotected vehicles that were between seven and 15 years old.The study concluded that unprotected vehicles had 6.8 times more visible corrosion on body panels than protected vehicles.On underbody parts subjected to greater exposure of dirt, gravel, water and chemicals, unprotected cars had 3.6 times more corrosion than those that bene?ted from rust protection.\u201cConsidering that the average age of a car in North America is 11 years old, our rust protection treatments have the potential to improve and extend the experience and utility you derive from your vehicle,\u201d says Craig Shuttleworth, marketing director at Krown.\u201cWhat\u2019s even more important is to start the rust protection program early because you don\u2019t want to give rust a head start.It can be years before corrosion becomes visible, but by then it could be too late.\u201d While the study didn\u2019t ?nd any difference in visible rust between newer treated and untreated cars, other research shows that rust ?rst appears on the inside of body panels and at spot welds where moisture can collect and not drain, often taking years before it appears on the surface as paint blisters or perforations.Early rust protection pays off as cars get older Re-doing your roof checklist (NC) Whether you\u2019re building a home from scratch or replacing the roof of an existing home, it\u2019s important to consider the range of materials available and build a budget based on your needs.With a variety of styles and colours to choose from, you can easily ?nd a look to match your home at an affordable price.Jack Rende, senior merchant of building materials at Home Depot, suggests asking the following questions when choosing your roof materials: How long will the roof last?The climate you live in is one of the most important factors here.When selecting roo?ng materials, choose one with better durability to withstand mother nature.Does the type of roo?ng complement the style of your home?Bring you personal style to the exterior with a wide range of roof colours, looks and architectural shapes.The appearance of a roof can dramatically affect the look of your home, so it\u2019s important that the material be suitable to its aesthetic.Is this roo?ng material within my budget?The cost of a new roof can vary drastically depending on the type of material and cost of installation.An asphalt roof is the most commonly used.It\u2019s also the least expensive and requires minimal installation.The complexity, height and steepness of your roof can also affect the installation costs.Find more information online at homedepot.ca.France &

safety tips for winter(NC) Snow and ice create dangerous conditions for those who venture outside during the winter, but we often forget about dangers indoors, such as carbon monoxide poisoning.Often known as \u201cthe silent killer,\u201d CO is a colourless and odourless gas that is impossible to detect without an alarm.In fact, according to Statistics Canada, carbon monoxide poisoning is the number one cause of accidental poisoning in the country and is responsible for more than 300 deaths annually.Here are tips to keep your loved ones safe through winter: Eliminate CO at the source.Have a professional check fuel-burning appliances \u2014 like your furnace, stove, water heater and clothes dryer \u2014 for leaks and annual maintenance.Never use generators indoors.In the case of a power outage or furnace failure, both gas-powered and portable electric generators must only be used outside.Never use them inside the home, in a garage or any con?ned area where CO can collect.Install alarms.Carbon monoxide alarms are the only way to detect this poisonous gas, yet a recent survey revealed over half of Canadians report not having CO alarms in their homes.Consider one that doesn\u2019t need battery replacements for the life of the alarm, like the First Alert 10-year Battery Carbon Monoxide Alarm, which uses an electrochemical sensor, the most accurate technology available.Be mindful of the garage.Never leave a car running in an attached garage.Even if the garage door is open, emissions can leak into the home.Clear all vents and watch stove usage.Especially after a snowstorm, make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove and ?replace are clear of snow.Never use a stove to heat your home and, when stovetop cooking for long periods of time, use kitchen fans to ventilate the room.Know the symptoms of CO poisoning.These include headache, nausea and feeling tired or short of breath.If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds or symptoms appear, it is important to get everyone outside to fresh air immediately and call 911.Home heating and carbon monoxide safety tips for winter HEATS EVEN AT -300 C OR LESS 3 ways winter is harming your car (NC) Driving in Canada during the colder months means you need to be prepared to drive in all kinds of weather conditions.Winter driving can without a doubt pose a threat to your vehicle, so it\u2019s important to be cautious of the effects of cold weather.Road salt.Snowstorms and cold, damp winter days combine to make driving conditions perilous.This is why tons of rock salt is used on our roads to create safer driving conditions.The problem with road salt or brine \u2014 which is a mix of magnesium chloride, salt and water \u2014 is the toll it takes on the exterior of your vehicle.When left on your car for an extended period of time, the chemicals will eat away and weaken the chassis.You will soon see rust appearing, which can lead to costly body repairs.The key to preventing this from happening is washing the offending substance off as quickly as possible.Tire pressure.Cold air naturally lowers your tires\u2019 PSI.Be sure to check your tire pressure once a month and ensure current inflation matches the specifications of your vehicle.Improperly maintained tires could result in some detrimental effects on your vehicle\u2019s performance and overall safety, such as irregular tire wear, tire failure, reduced fuel economy and decreased handling.Freezing cold.Exposure to below freezing weather every day can do a number on rubber and plastic.While you\u2019re enjoying the warm confines of your home on a -20°C night, your vehicle is exposed to the raw elements.Rubber components such as windshield wipers, belts, and hoses bear the brunt of the damage.Frigid temperatures mean they become less pliable, increasing the chances of a rip, tear or break.These issues can create hazardous conditions as malfunctioning wipers can mean reduced visibility, while broken belts and hoses can lead to engine damage.\u201cTo make sure your car is ready to handle this winter, we encourage a full auto service preventive inspection, along with changing or topping up all fluids,\u201d says Darryl Croft, automotive expert at OK Tire.This includes everything from engine coolant and oil to windshield washer fluid.This should also include a verification of your, battery, brakes and belts.\u201cDon\u2019t ignore the warning signs.The last thing you want is to be stranded on the side of the road on a cold day.\u201d Find more information at www.ok- tire.com.Dale Miner Home Inspections Helping you take

Since West has the trump ace, there is a strong case for leading the singleton diamond, despite its being dummy\u2019s bid suit.But the spade three is also a sensible choice.(Lead low from a weak triple- ton when partner has bid that suit, and you have not supported it.) Here, either lead should work.After a spade start, declarer will win with dummy\u2019s ace, discard his second spade on the club ace and play a trump.However, it shouldn\u2019t be hard for West to take that trick and shift to the diamond nine.Then East can take two winners in the suit and give his partner a ruff to defeat the contract.Alternatively, after an initial diamond lead, East should be confident that it is a singleton; otherwise, why lead dummy\u2019s bid suit?East plays three rounds of the suit, giving West his ruff.Then West says, \u201cWe did double, didn\u2019t we?\u201d ALLEY OOP ARLO & JANIS THE BORN LOSER FRANK AND ERNEST GRIZWELLS THATABABY REALITY CHECK HERMAN Go grocery sho pping with diet itians.When you choos e products with t he Health Check symbol, it's like shopping with th e Heart and Strok e Foundation\u2019s die titians, who evalu ate every particip ating product ba sed on Canada's Food Guide.www.healthche ck.org Page 14 Thursday , October 18, 2018 production@sherbrookerecord.com The Record By America\u2019S Test Kitchen The star of our beef barley soup is a rich, intensely flavoured beef stock.We were able to make a from-scratch stock in about 2 1/2 hours thanks to a lot of browned beef (we preferred shank) and a few small bones.As a bonus, the shank meat turned soft and gelatinous, perfect for shredding and adding to the soup.Mushrooms complement beefy flavour, so we used them for an even meatier-tasting soup.Mulling over the choice of what barley to use, we settled on pearl barley because it is a quick- er-cooking grain.Adding fresh thyme early on allowed its robust flavour to infuse the broth evenly while diced tomatoes added complexity and some acidity and helped balance the heartiness of the barley.Making a beef noodle soup variation turned out to be a cinch: We simply swapped hearty wide egg noodles for the barley and simmered them right in the broth.You will need the stock and 2 cups of cooked beef (either from the shank or from the chuck) from Rich Beef Stock (recipe follows) for this recipe.BEEF BARLEY SOUP WITH MUSHROOMS AND THYME Servings: 6 Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 onion, chopped 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 12 ounces white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced thin 1 recipe Rich Beef Stock (recipe follows) plus 2 cups meat, shredded into bite-size pieces 1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained 1/2 cup pearl barley 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley Salt and pepper Heat 1 tablespoon oil in stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering.Add onion and carrots and cook until vegetables are almost soft, 3 to 4 minutes.Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms soften and liquid evaporates, 4 to 5 minutes longer.Add beef stock and meat, tomatoes, barley, and thyme.Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low; simmer until barley is just tender, 45 to 50 minutes.Stir in parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.Rich Beef Stock: This recipe for a rich traditional beef stock delivers a stock with great body, lots of beefy flavour, and a generous amount of meat.It took 6 pounds of beef and bones to make it.Here\u2019s why: Roasting and simmering just beef bones with some aromatic vegetables yielded beef stock that tasted like bone-enhanced vegetable liquid.We figured out that it was going to take more meat than bones to get deep beef flavour.We tested different cuts of beef and shanks, a common supermarket cut with exposed marrow bones, were our favourite, followed by marrow bone-enhanced chuck.Not only was the shank meat soft and gelatinous, it was perfect for shredding and adding to our beef soups.We used one lone onion as our vegetable and enlivened the stock with a modest 1/2 cup of red wine.Unlike other traditional stocks, ours was done in about 2 1/2 hours and was a one-pot, stovetop-only affair.Note that you need only 2 cups of the cooked beef for our soups, but the leftover beef is delicious and also good for sandwiches.Use a Dutch oven or stock pot that holds 6 quarts or more for this recipe.Cooled stock and meat can be refrigerated separately for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month before being used to make soup.Makes about 8 cups stock and 6 cups meat Total time: 2 hours, 45 minutes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 large onion, chopped 6 pounds beef shanks, meat removed from bones and cut into large chunks, bones reserved, or 4 pounds beef chuck, cut into 3-inch chunks, plus 2 pounds marrow bones 1/2 cup dry red wine 8 cups boiling water 2 bay leaves 1/2 teaspoon salt Heat 1 tablespoon oil in stockpot or Dutch oven over medium- high heat until shimmering.Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes.Transfer to large bowl.Brown meat and bones on all sides in 3 or 4 batches, about 5 minutes per batch, adding remaining oil to pot as necessary; do not overcrowd.Transfer to bowl with onion.Add wine to pot and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until wine is reduced to about 3 tablespoons, about 2 minutes.Return browned beef and onion to pot.Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until meat releases its juices, about 20 minutes.Increase heat to high; add boiling water, bay leaves, and salt.Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer slowly until meat is tender and stock is flavourful, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, skimming foam off surface.Strain stock through fine- mesh strainer and discard bones and onion; reserve meat for soup or other use.Let stock settle for 5 to 10 minutes, then defat using wide, shallow spoon or fat separator.Nutrition information per serving: 439 calories; 199 calories from fat; 22 g fat (2 g saturated;

it\u2019s lost the middle three letters of its name and is now just called \u201cST\u201d, recalling recent Fast Fords such as the Focus ST and Fiesta ST hatches.It\u2019s fitting, then, that we were dispatched to one of the homes of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games to see what this most athletic of Edges is all about.More than a new name Much more is at play here than a simple change in nomenclature designed to cash in on the success of previous ST models (although I\u2019m sure there\u2019s a little of that, too).The Edge ST gets added power, new chassis upgrades and the requisite style changes, too.It\u2019s a pretty big departure from the former Edge Sport, which really was little more than a styling upgrade even though it was the first Edge model to get the 2.7L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6.That powerplant has made its way under the hood of the ST, too; it\u2019s the only way you can have it, along with a new 8-speed transmission with paddle shifters.It\u2019s good for 335 hp and a generous 380 lb-ft of torque (up from 315 and 350, respectively, in the Sport), the latter not only making for some speedy progress, but also helping make the most of a 1,588 kg tow rating; while a tow package is optional on other Edge trims, it\u2019s standard on the ST.A look inside the engine bay reveals this particular Edge\u2019s true intentions, with \u201cFord Performance\u201d emblazoned proudly across the valve cover.Tasty.Other differentiators from the standard SE, SEL and Titanium models (those three trims return from last year) include a special Performance Blue colour, blacked-out grille with larger openings for improved airflow, as well as black trim pieces around the lower grille openings and on the door pillars.There are also our tester\u2019s optional blacked-out 21-inch wheels ($950) to match; two-tone silver and black 20s are standard.Canadian models get larger, vented rotors both front and back.Inside, a monochromatic black with contrasting white stitching colourway is your only choice, brightened up by \u201cST\u201d at the base of the steering wheel and on the kickplates.It\u2019s actually a very handsome affair, though the image is tarnished, somewhat, by the heavy use of plastic \u2018round the centre stack\u2019s climate and infotainment controls.The final interior touches are the more deeply-bol- stered seats, though not so much so that they cause discomfort for wider hips like mine.You\u2019ll want the extra support, though.Surprisingly, the Edge ST is actually a crossover that asks you to give it a little more welly through the bends; the chassis and steering has been given all sorts of little tweaks to make it a little more adept and tackling the twisties.For starters, the dampers have increased in stiffness: 10% at the front, 15% at the rear, and there are larger anti- roll bars both front and back.In addition to a quicker steering rack that\u2019s been given a little more weight, the ST has turned the Edge into quite the able handler.Turn-in is properly responsive, and since the suspension has been given all those tweaks, the body roll has been reduced, too.Heck, they were so confident in the Edge\u2019s move to ST form that they actually let us loose on a small autocross track, where I had way more fun than I thought I would.The Edge actually rewards good, confident steering inputs, just like any good performance \u2013 or even quasi-perfor- mance \u2013 vehicle should.The powertrain is a slightly different story, however.It\u2019s great that they\u2019re now offering an 8-speed, as the old Edge\u2019s 6-speed was getting a little long in the tooth.OK, quite long in the tooth.It\u2019s also great that the ST comes standard with paddles because I found myself making use of them quite a lot during the drive.The reason I did so, however, isn\u2019t entirely because of how \u201csporty\u201d they make the Edge feel.That\u2019s part of it, to be sure, but it was more about asking the transmission to react a little quicker than it was willing to in auto mode.Even in Sport mode, which quickens shift times and throttle response, the transmission is not the quickest I\u2019ve tested at this level.VW\u2019s DSG is quicker, and I won\u2019t go too far into the luxury brands because that\u2019s not really what the Edge is up against, even in its top-spec, MSRP- just-below-50-grand ST form.Unlike with those performance luxury models, I\u2019d say a quick-shifting transmission probably isn\u2019t #1 on most Edge buyers\u2019 lists.Still, that doesn\u2019t change the fact that for me, that transmission just seemed to disguise \u2013 in a bad way \u2013 how much power was on offer, especially when starting from a stop or slower speeds, such as when exiting some tough uphill hairpins as we did.Once you get going, though, the ST starts to come into its own; bear with the delay you get on tip-in and hold on tight as the power comes in a pretty sudden surge.Once you\u2019re at that point, the ST truly starts to feel like a properly sporting vehicle.Combine that with that fantastic handling package, and you can start to see where this particular Edge gets earns its \u201cST\u201d designation.When it comes time to slow things down a little \u2013 cruising on the highway or navigating traffic in town, for example \u2013 the ST has you covered.First of all, it\u2019s surprisingly quiet unless you\u2019re really on it; it gets an augmented engine sound over other Edges when you\u2019re giving it the beans.Otherwise, the noise inside does well to follow through on the levels of luxury promised by the ride.Secondly, the ST gets standard fitment of Co-Pilot 360 Protect, a suite of safety features that includes lane keep assist, auto high beams, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, auto emergency braking, backup camera and blind spot assist.The $850 Co-Pilot360 Plus package adds adaptive cruise with lane-centering, evasive steering that can automatically steer around obstacles, and voice-activat- ed nav.It takes a little while to set it all up; first you activate lane-keep assist by pressing a button on the tip of the indicator stalk, then you activate cruise (the system works at 40 km/h-plus), then activate the auto-steering feature by pressing a wheel-mounted button.If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll get a warning in the form of a vibrating wheel if you deviate from your lane, but no steering intervention.Once active, cameras watch the lines either side of you and keep you nicely centered; no bouncing back from line to line.This being a semi-autonomous system, you won\u2019t be able to drive much more than 15 seconds without your hands on the wheel; first, it warns you with a visual warning in the gauge cluster.Then it beeps, eventually auto braking to a full stop, the system assuming the driver has become incapacitated.Other new tech includes B & O Play audio, as well as standard SYNC3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; those features aren\u2019t quite as newsworthy as the forthcoming addition of Alexa next year, however; when it eventually arrives, you\u2019ll be able to use her to change your climate settings, audio volume or activate your navigation.The Edge ST highlight reel is centered fully around the excellent steering and chassis tuning that has done a remarkable job of taking a fairly pedestrian crossover and turned it into something with a little extra.The powertrain comes up just short in my eyes, but maybe that\u2019s a case of the chassis being so good that I expected more from the engine and transmission.That\u2019s not entirely fair, of course, so it will be interesting to see if I\u2019m just being too picky.Sport no more, but still athletic 819 826-2451 109 Coiteux Street, Richmond (Quebec) J0B 2H0 GUILLAUME MADORE DENTUROLOGIST ON-SITE LABORATORY Manufacture and repair of dental prostheses: complete, partials and implants Learning happens in everything we do.Whether you team up to sort laundry, write a grocery list, or discover a new route to school, you are learning together.How will you learn with your family?Take the learning journey at FamilyLiteracyDay.ca and download your Journey to Learning Passport."]
