The reason why is because I have moved to Chicago.Yes, that Chicago.The one in Illinois.In the United States.Of America.This past week, I began working on my master\u2019s degree at Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism.For those not necessarily in tune with the world of journalism, this program produced some of the world\u2019s best journalists: J.A.Adande (LA Times, ESPN), David Barstow (a Pulitzer Prize winner from the New York Times), Adam Schefter (ESPN), and even George R.R.Martin, the (in)famous author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the book series on which the hit HBO series Game of Thrones is based.Needless to say, I'm still wondering what I'm doing here.Add to the fact that I'm away from home for the first time in my life, and we have a very confused Canadian.Being away from home and in a far- off land is very hard.Everything around you is a constant reminder that you are not at home, that you are an intruder, that you are an alien.Just as an example, there are stickers on every door on campus to remind people that guns are not allowed in the buildings.Another issue is the whole Faren- heit/Celsius conversion.America is one of three countries that does not function with metric units.And by not function with, I mean actively avoid them like the plague or some kind of European disease.Oddly enough, baguettes and croissants, among other European exports, are re-appropriated and have become a part of everyday culture here.Just do not point out these little inconsistencies unless you want to be met with a barrage of RS A ré RR = BRIAN MACIVER The main

that do not function with the metric system: Myanmar and Liberia.But again, do not mention it to any one here.Things that you took for granted now have to be planned out in your weekly routine.Laundry ($1.25 wash, $1.00 dry), groceries (brands are completely different and unknown), and getting around without my beloved 1999 Hyundai Elantra (currently on sale for $1,000) are all new issues that I never had to deal with before that are now a part of my new life.Don\u2019t get me wrong, it\u2019s a great experience and I've been loving every minute of it.The campus is similar to Bishop's .if Bishop's covered 10 blocks and was on the shores of one of the Great Lakes.My classmates are great and come from extremely varied backgrounds: whether it\u2019s San Diego, Dallas, Italy, China or even New Zealand, every one of them brings something unique to the table.The professors are also highly accomplished.An experienced crime reporter and crime novellist, a former editor for Reuters and a former online editor for The Onion are just a few of the people that make up my group of instructors for this quarter.And that\u2019s another thing: the quarter system.Instead of having three semesters in a year and having most, if not all, of the summer off, Northwestern has four quarters that are cycled through every three months.What this means for me is that I start in January and get my degree after only one year of studies.What this means for all of you is that you will have an opportunity to read about my American adventures every other week right here in The Record.Before I leave off for this first piece, I just want to say: Mom and Dad, I'm well, I'm keeping safe, and I'm eating healthy(ish).I miss you and I'll be seeing you before you know it.Ben by Daniel Shelton The

alone an average of once every 20 or 100 years.North Hatley concerns ns flood Memphremagog By Gordon Lambie MAGOG e classification of flood plains suddenly became a hot topic on Thursday night.A gathering of nearly 60 residents from in and around North Hatley voiced concerns about the classification of flood plains in their community on at a public consultation on proposed changes to the Mem- phremagog regional county municipality\u2019s urban development plan.The revisions in question create two distinct flood zones in the area of North Hatley closest to Lake Massawippi, one expected to flood roughly once every 20 years and the other once every 100, and have been drafted in response to developer Richard Laliberté\u2019s stated interest in building a five storey, 230-unit housing complex within the existing flood plains.Hughes Ménard, Mem- phremagog urban planning coordinator, presented the new draft as being based upon the in depth work of a consulting firm hired to look at the matter Packed By Matthew McCully Special to The Record MAGOG ore than 150 concerned citizens assembled on Thursday evening for an information session regarding the impending installation of smart meters in parts of Magog served by Hydro-Quebec.The city voted over a year ago not to use smart meters in any regions covered by Magog Hydro, leaving roughly 30 per cent of the population facing the decision whether or not to allow the installation of the new meters, which transmit information through electromagnetic pulses, in their homes.The information session was chaired by Jacinthe Ouellet and Marie-Michelle Poisson, spokespeople for citizens groups against smart meters, and Jean- Guy St-Onge, from an opposition group in Valleyfield, and supporter of the white heart campaign, in solidarity with people affected by electromagnetic hypersensitivity.Electrician Jean-Claude Morin, instrumental in Magog Hydro\u2019s decision not to use smart meters, was also on hand to answer questions.Holding the information session was matter of urgency for.in depth.This, he said, stands in contrast to the existing \u201cbroad strokes\u201d plan, which has been in place since the mid-80s and does not offer as detailed an outlook on the area on which Laliberté hopes to build.Discussion was varied over the course of the evening, but brought up consistent questions as to the reliability of the studies that went into redefining the flood zones.Several detailed presentations were made to council, most notably by civil engineer Michael Grayson and Hydrogeography specialist Hugh Gwyn.Both Gwyn and Grayson, in their own ways, critiqued the data offered up in the draft resolution, and suggested that reclassification of the existing zones has been poorly thought out.\u201cThe lines are in the right place,\u201d Gwyn said in his presentation.\u201cThe level is right; it\u2019s just not a 100-year line.\u201d The specialist pointed out that there have been several significant floods over the course of the last two decades, let alone an average of once every 20 or 100 years.\u201cHow does such a serious error happen?\u201d Gwyn asked, comparing photographic evidence to the limits of flood | zones marked out on the new zone maps.While simply making note of the commentary and working to clarify any questions asked, Magog Mayor Vicki May Hamm complimented Gwyn on the level of detail of his testimony and the professionalism he demonstrated in the presentation thereof.Robert Benoit, one-time MNA for the Orford riding, raised impassioned concerns about the transparency of the consultation, criticizing the lack of an expert at the meeting to respond to citizens technical concerns.Hamm shared that the council had only been informed that the invited expert was unable to make it to the meeting that morning and that the council was \u201cjust as upset\u201d as the citizens present that the expert was absent.Hamm emphasized that all questions or concerns voiced would be passed along to the expert, with answers being posted publicly on the MRC's website as of Jan.19.Several residents also raised the alarm with regard to global GORDON LAMBIE Hugh Gwyn (standing), a hydrogeography specialist, presents his evidence to Memphremagog municipal council at a public hearing on Thursday night.warming, suggesting that a changing climate means that past statistics are not representative of future environmental disasters.On a similar vein, some neighbours of the proposed development were concerned that large scale development in a flood zone might have a negative impact on nearby properties that are currently \u201csafe\u201d from rising waters.Hamm closed the meeting by updating those assembled as to the rest of the process for the consideration of the draft regulation.All of the comments and considerations offered in the consultation, she assured, would be taken into account in the ensuing discussion.house for Hydro smart meter info session in Magog many Magog residents.Letters were sent out by Hydro Quebec just before Christmas, giving customers one month to opt out of having a smart meter for a fee of $15, with a surcharge of $5 per month.The fee to opt out after the deadline would rise to $85.Some residents were looking at a deadline of today to refuse the smart meter installation.The timing was important also because Magog city council had not yet heard back from legal counsel as to whether or not the city could pass a resolution banning smart meters entirely in the area.At the beginning of the session, Ouellet asked, out of respect for those suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, that everyone in attendance put their phones in airplane mode.The main points raised by the panelists were that Hydro was forcing smart meters on the public without proper consultation, that the information provided in Hydro\u2019s description of smart meter technology was not accurate, and that the potential health risks from long term exposure to the pulses sent from the smart meters had not been properly investigated.\u2018Another bone of contention, according to Ouellet, was that Hydro would only accept a smart meter refusal by calling the number listed in the installation notice, and would not accept written requests.A number of citizens in attendance said the line was constantly busy and were unable to get through to an agent.Members of the publit were offered a white heart to pin to their clothing, along with a small information card, giving the number to Hydro-Quebec customer service.It was recommended that anyone who was unable to get on the line and refuse their smart meter call customer service and get an official complaint on record, proving the customer chose to refuse the meter within the deadline specified.Marie-Michelle Poisson spoke about the alleged misinformation provided by Hydro regarding the low levels of exposure.Poisson said Hydro claims that the new smart meters are only active for 90 seconds every 24 hours, and that the strength of the electromagnetic radiation is 55 microwatts per square metre, well below that of a cell phone or microwave oven.Poisson went on to explain that Hydro\u2019s numbers are an average spread out across 24 hours.In actuality, according to Poisson, the smart meter is active every 20-30 seconds, and the electromagnetic pulse is closer to 65,000 microwatts.each time, measured from one meter away.She also said that the activity level of a smart meter depends on its position within the grid as well as its proximity to a router, which collects all the information.A home near a router, which has the information from all other smart meters in the area travelling through it on the way to the router, could potentially be active all day long, Poisson said.She illustrated the point by saying one litre of water dumped over a person\u2019s head is tolerable, but one drop every 20 seconds for 24 hours is torture.Regarding the potential health risks, the panel cited the work of McGill occupational health professor and physicist Paul Héroux, who suggested that even in small doses, electromagnetic exposure could cause health problems including cancer, diabetes and neurological problems.The panel stressed the importance of mobilizing as a community, because even if one resident were to refuse the smart meter, they could still suffer the effects if neighbours close by accept the smart meter.According to Ouellet, there are 50 groups in Quebec in opposition to smart meters, and 117 municipalities have requested a moratorium on installations.Magog Mayor Vicki May Hamm said the council\u2019s decision over a year ago not to use smart meters was erring on the side of caution.\u201cSince we are not experts and we don\u2019t know, precaution is the best thing,\u201d she said.\u201cI'm getting dizzy, it\u2019s so complicated.May Hamm said eventually Hydro Magog hopes to move to fibre optic technology for meter reading, adding that Hydro Quebec wasn\u2019t exploring that as an option because it would be too expensive.In the meantime, council is waiting for a go-ahead to pass a resolution banning smart meters all together in the area.May Hamm also asked Hydro to extend the deadline for Magog area customers wishing to refuse the meters, since the notice arrived just before Christmas and many people have not had a chance to call Hydro.CONT'D ON PAGE 4° Page 4 MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 2015 | newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record MEET YOUR NEIGHBOURS Starting over feels right for Yves Cloutier By Matthew

start a new career after 15 years.Yves Cloutier, from Coati- cook, decided after building a career in law, to start over and become a nurse.\u201c| like to make people happy,\u201d Cloutier said.While studying at the Séminaire de Sherbrooke, Cloutier worked at Youville, getting his first taste of nursing.He then went on to study at Laval University, completing a diploma in philosophy and Bachelor\u2019s degree in law.While at Laval, he continued working his way through school in nursing, working in emergency.\u201cI loved that job.You are on the go all the time,\u201d he said.He returned to the University of Sherbrooke to complete the bar, and then entered into a legal practice with his brother Pierre.\u201cAbout 85 per cent of the practice was family matters,\u201d Cloutier said.\u201cIt was always fighting, and the children were caught in the middle.Even after it was over, there was still Le of students switch pro- anger there,\u201d he remembered.After 15 years in a job that he was not passionate about and going through a divorce of his own, Cloutier decided it was time to get back to what made him happy.Cloutier took a home care- giving course at 24-Juin in 2012.His internship was at the Grace Christian Home in Hunt ingville, where he is currently working.\u201cEverybody\u2019s like a family here,\u201d Cloutier said.\u201cI'm French, but I think I prefer the English people here.Everyone is so happy.\u201d Cloutier enrolled in the three-year nursing program at Champlain College in September to upgrade his training.\u201cI'll be 50 when I'm done,\u201d he said.\u201cI feel good here,\u201d Cloutier said, adding that he is not sure what he will do when he completes the nursing program.\u201cIt\u2019s not a job for me.I don\u2019t feel like I am working when I'm here.I don\u2019t think I would find that in any hospital,\u201d he said, explaining that with his previous emergency room experience, there would be no shortage of opportunities.\u201cI'm not closing any doors,\u201d Cloutier said, recognizing that his legal background combined with his nursing experience gives him great insight into the rights and needs of people at their most vulnerable.His sister, who is a doctor in the U.S.with her own practice, offered him a position, where the pay would be more than double what he currently gets.\u201cMoney\u2019s not everything,\u201d Cloutier said.As a legal associate, he was netting close to $47,000 per year, more than double what he makes now.\u201cIt\u2019s very important for me to stay around here.\u201d In addition to his work at the Grace Christian Home and his nursing studies, he also lives with and helps take care of his mother.\u201cI do a lot to be able to keep her at home,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s easy when it\u2019s your mom.\u201d \u201cThere are nat many men around here,\u201d he said, adding that the residents of the home are from a different era.\u201cThey want men working with men, and women working with women.There were six or seven women who didn\u2019t want men around,\u201d he said, when he first started.\u201cAll the ladies accept me now,\u201d he said, adding he has a number of girlfriends vying for his attention.Cloutier said he has one palliative patient who doesn\u2019t want to eat or get out of bed for the other staff members.\u201cI have a different approach than other employees,\u201d Cloutier said, \u201cI'm pretty old, maybe it\u2019s all the ex- Da MATTHEW MCCULEY Yves Cloutier poses with one of his \u201cgirlfriends\u201d at the

smiles at me.That's why I work here.That's my reward.I never felt that as a lawyer,\u201d he said.\u201cAround Christmas, it\u2019s heavy,\u201d Cloutier said, admitting there are less smiles than usual.A number of residents were disappointed when family members they were expecting did not show.\u201cThey cried so much on Christmas Day that on December 26, everybody slept from all the crying the day before.\u201d \u201cI think its not fair\u201d Cloutier said.\u201cAs a caregiver, your objective is to help them forget about that.\u201d Cloutier was recently awarded a scholarship by the LAMPE Foundation to assist in his nursing studies.\u201cIt\u2019s not easy to do nursing, I've never studied in English,\u201d Cloutier said, appreciative of the warm reception he has received from the English community.\u201cIt\u2019s about the heart.\u201d Not many people would consider jumping into a new career at 47 years old, but Cloutier insists it was the right move for him.Bringing smiles to the people around him is payment enough for what he considers to be a labour of love.Peace vigil ter world, but that it is in the hands of every person to actively work for peace and

several massive blasts, wiped out part of the downtown core and killed 47 people.The family of one man killed in the crash was the first to file a lawsuit in a U.S.court against rail and petroleum firms connected to the oil-filled tankers that slammed into the town.It was initiated by the family of Jean-Guy Veilleux, who died in the runaway-train disaster, in the weeks following the derailment.Plaintiff Annick Roy was seeking damages from 10 defendants, including the now-de- funct Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway, its major stockholder Rail World Inc., top rail executive Edward Burkhardt and several American petroleum companies.The suit alleged the railway and petroleum companies named had a duty to operate their businesses in a \u201csafe manner and to take reasonable measures to avoid exposing the public to the dangers associated with the transport of crude oil to refineries.\u201d Roy also alleged in the suit the defendants were negligent for transporting crude oil in the flawed DOT-111 tanker cars, which have been known to rupture during derailments.The document highlights how there has been a considerable increase in oil-by-rail transport in recent years.Flaws in the DOT-111 tanker have been noted as far back as a 1991 safety study.Other defendants named in the lawsuit include firms in the U.S.petroleum industry: World Fuel Services Corp., Western Petroleum Company, Petroleum Transport Solutions, Dakota Plains Transloading, Dakota Petroleum Transport Solutions, Dakota Plains Marketing and DPSTS.Burkhardt, who was

Page 6 MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 2015 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record SCIENCE MATTERS JITORIAL Energy shift requires shift in conversation By David Suzuki bundant, cheap fossil fuels have driven explosive technological, in- ustrial and economic expansion for more than a century.The pervasive infrastructure developed to accommodate this growth makes it difficult to contemplate rapidly shifting away from coal, oil and gas, which creates a psychological barrier to rational discourse on energy issues.The ecological and true economic costs of energy use force us to scrutinize our way of living.And because our infrastructure doesn\u2019t allow us to entirely avoid fossil fuels, we must face the contradiction between how we should live and constraints against doing so.Canada has no national energy plan, other than governmental desire to be a fossil-fuelled energy-export superpower.Given the consequences of human-in- duced climate change already hitting home, you'd think the highest priority of governments at all levels would be to decide on the lowest-emission energy path.But politicians focused on election intervals have difficulty dealing with generational issues.Real, important conversations and decisions are instead delayed by diversionary and often irrational arguments and tactics: accusing critics of being hypocrites, claiming foreign money drives environmental agendas and labelling activists as eco-terrorists or enemies of Canada among them.In place of true progress, we get consolidated political power and greater corporate profit and control.Enough already! Sustainability requires conservation and abundant energy employed with minimal ecological upset.Yet the inability to consider the need to shift quickly from fossil fuels means governments and industry look to mega-technologies like carbon capture and storage to justify inaction on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while dismissing solar and wind as impractical, too expensive or unable to meet energy needs.Nuclear power may be an alternative to GHG- 2mitting fossil fuels, but it\u2019s extremely expensive and would not be online were it not for enormous subsidies.Nuclear fuel is also finite, so costs will rise while the problem of radioactive-waste disposal remains unsolved.As a northern country, Canada is especially vulnerable to climate change.Polar regions heat faster than temperate and tropical zones \u2014 Inuit have noticed the growing impacts for decades.With the longest marine coastline of any country, we're also subject to sea-level rise.And our economy relies on climate- dependent activities such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, tourism and winter sports, all of which are already feeling climate change impacts.Where is the political leadership and will to confront climate change?We're seeing some from individuals, grassroots organizations and municipalities.But what about our provinces?Just as the catastrophic loss of northern cod off Newfoundland warned against unsustainable practices, the destruction of $65 billion worth of B.C.trees by mountain pine beetles \u2014 once kept under control by winters with temperatures below -30 C for a week or more \u2014 should make the province take notice.Where's the leadership?Once lauded for policies such as the carbon tax and energy agreements with California, B.C.\u2019s political leaders have now embraced liquefied natural gas, claiming industry expansion will create hundreds of thousands of jobs and add billions of dollars to provincial coffers \u2014 never mind that no one in power now will be held accountable for these promises because they're several elections from being realized.LNG should be labelled LFG: liquefied fracked gas.Hydraulic fracturing \u2014 fracking \u2014 requires pumping millions of litres of chemical-laced water deep underground to shatter shale and liberate embedded gas.It\u2019s a short-term way to get energy with long-term ecological impacts on water and whatever organisms might be down there.(It was once thought life disappeared at bedrock, but we now know bacteria are found at least 10 kilometres down.) Fracked gas is mostly methane, a greenhouse gas more than 30 times as \u2014\u2014\"\"E mm RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, Quebec JEG 1Y7 Fax: 819-821-3179 EMAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEssITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON McCuLLY PUBLISHER .(819) 569-9511 JouN EDWARDS NEWS EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .220200 100000 4819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .020000000 005 (819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION .200000 (819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM .22000000 000 (819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, JOE 1VO TEL: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST TOTAL Quessc: 1 year 13560 678 1353 $155.91 6 MONTHS 7119 356 710 $81.85 3 MONTHS 3.16 181 360 $41.57 ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS Quessc: 1 EAR 7150 358 713 $82.21 1 MONTH 649 032 065 $7.46 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, QC J1G 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA potent as carbon dioxide.Studies reveal leakage around fracking sites may be high enough to affect climate change more than coal!

DEAR EDITOR: rry Mosher is welcome to express his point of view regarding organized religion, but to equate religion with terrorism is an error.No known organized world religion, including Islam, Christianity and Ju- dasim teaches anything other than you must treat your neighbour as you treat yourself.The problem comes from the culture of those who have separated from their religion, but still claim to be Catholic, Islamic or Judaic.1t is this self-serving culture, made up of a blend of nationalism and personalized religion that needs to be recognized.The culture of nationalists may be formed by a discarded religion, their society's may use the name of Catholic saints, but anytime religion is used to promote nationalism it is no longer a religion, its just plain old political nationalism.The attack in France was not about the religion of Islam, it's about a Fascist political movement using a faux religion as an excuse to gain power.BRIAN TIMMINS KNOWLTON DEAR EDITOR: ile I am shocked and sad- I dened by the events in Paris this week and believe that the perpetrators should be subject to pres the full extent of punishment, I cannot actively support the publication of satire and media that is aimed at degrading another religion, race, gender, or belief system.We live in a world that is supposed to be accepting of others yet the media fuels a hateful message towards other cultures.They have created a world where Muslims are mistreated and branded by the word terrorist simply because of the actions of a minority consisting of so called \u201cfundamental ists\u201d or \u201cextremists\u201d, persons who have: perverted traditional teaching to justify hate and violence.By mocking another's religion or culture we serve] only to reinforce their views of us.We.openly mock Muslims with terms such as \u201ctowel head\u201d and \u201ccamel jockey,\u201d yet we wonder why they take offence.To truly solve the problem.we should not march off to engage in violence and hate, but instead undertake a process of self-reflection in which we put ourselves in their shoes.We call ourselves an advanced society, yet we are the ones who refuse to take the time to understand others.The amount of hateful speech and actions that exist in today's world is deeply troubling, and I believe that we owe it to all humanity to step back and consider our own role in this tragedy.#je- NeSuisPasCharlie MATTHEW BARLOW LENNOXVILLE The Record | newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 2015 Page 7 Lost weekend PERTE \u201cWe are starting to come together; I think we'll be okay.\u201d orts | for Bishop's cagers McGill: They're red, they're white, they swept the Gaiters twice By Mike Hickey Special to the Record Bishop's Gaiters basketball teams as they dropped both ends of a back-to-back doubleheader with the McGill Redmen and Martlets.The men entered the second part of the season in first place in the Quebec conference but the double defeat left them in third place with a 3-3 record.The Gaiters had a chance to win both games but were able to come up with big plays in the final minute of each game.In Thursday's loss they held I was a lost weekend for the Record Staff SHERBROOKE e Sherbrooke Phoenix swept both games over the weekend, picking up a 74 win in Quebec City on Friday night and following that up with a 3-2 defeat of the Baie- Comeau Drakkar on Saturday afternoon at the Sports Palace.With the two wins, the Phoenix set a franchise record for wins in a season, a fact that says as much about the team\u2019s dismal first two seasons as it does about this year\u2019s resurgence.On Friday, David Storto led a 63-56 lead with nine minutes remaining but the home team responded with a 22-12 run for a 78-71 win.On Saturday Jona Bermillo\u2019s natural three-point play gave the Gaiters a 59-57 lead with 1:07 left in the game.However the Redmen\u2019s Jeen- ning Leung responded with a lay-up that tied the game at 59- 59 and then a three-pointer with four seconds to go that proved to be the game winner.Kyle Desmarais paced the Gaiter attack in both games as he scored 19 and 20 points.Matt Maclean and Mike Andrews chipped in with 13 and 12 points respectively Thursday night while Bermillo was the only other Gaiter in double figures Saturday with 14 points Head coach Rod Gilpin saw positives in the two losses.\u201cI think we played hard at times on Thursday night,\u201d he said in a statement.\u201cWe played hard for 40 minutes tonight.l\u2019m really pleased with our effort.We started knocking some shots down in the second half and obviously that made a difference.Kyle looks like the league MVP he was four years ago, we are starting to come together; I think we'll be okay.\u201d The women suffered a one- sided 85-30 loss Thursday night but then bounced back Saturday with one of their best performances of the year, albeit in a 67-50 defeat to the No.3- ranked Martlets.In Thursday's rout McGill jumped out to a 23-6 first quarter lead and never looked back.Ashley White was Bishop's top scorer with six points while Danielle Lumley had a team- high five rebounds.Bishop\u2019s was much more competitive on Saturday night.The two teams were tied 11- 11 after 10 minutes of play but the third-ranked Martlets controlled play in the second and Phoenix sweep weekend pair the Phoenix with three points, on two goals and one assist, as they came from behind three times to defeat the Remparts at Le Colisée before a crowd of 10,239.The teams traded goals in the first period, with Vladimir Tkachev scoring for Quebec, and Jeremy Roy responding for Sherbrooke.A wild, seven-goal second period followed, with Quebec\u2019s Adam Erne scoring twice in the first 3:35 - including a shorthanded goal on a penalty shot.His two goals sandwiched Cameron Darcy\u2019s ninth of the year, and gave Quebec a 3-2 lead.Storto tied the game at the 5:07 mark of the period, while Nicolas Poulin gave Sherbrooke their first lead at 9:05.Marc- Olivier Roy tied the game for Quebec, but Daniel Audette restored the Sherbrooke lead with his 17th goal of the year at 12:52.The third period was ali Sherbrooke, as Raphaél Lafontaine\u2019s shorthanded goal gave Sherbrooke some insurance and Storto\u2019s second of the game, into an empty net, cemented the win.Alex Bureau made 24 saves to pick up the win, as Sherbrooke outshot Quebec 32-28.Callum Booth started in goal for Quebec, and gave up four goals on 15 shots before being replaced after Poulin\u2019s marker.Xavier Potvin played the rest of the game, making 14 saves on 16 shots, and took the lost.On Saturday, Lafontaine scored twice as the Phoenix got past Baie-Comeau at the Sports Palace.After Vaclav Karabacek had given the Drakkar a 1-0 lead, Lafontaine tie the game up at one apiece.Sherbrooke\u2019s Kevin third quarters and took a 55-33 lead into the final quarter.Play at times was sloppy with the two teams combining for 60 turnovers.Naomi Zitt-James and Magog native Neomie Hamel-Petit were the only Gaiters in double- digit scoring with 14 and 11 points respectively.The Gaiters will attempt to get back on the winning track Thursday night when they travel to Montreal for a doubleheader with the Concordia Stingers.The two teams return to Lennoxvillle Saturday for another twinbill starting at 6 p.m.Domingue and Baie Comeau\u2019s Jeremy Gregoire also found the net in the first, sending the teams to the dressing rooms tied at 2-2.The only goal in the second came off the stick of Lafontaine at 6:46, and it held up as the game-winner.Evan Fitzpatrick made 36 saves to pick up the win, while Philippe Cadorette had 24 stops in a losing cause for the Drakkar.Sherbrooke (23-154) is back in action on Friday, as they host Charlottetown at the Sports Palace.Faceoff is set for 7 p.m.Crosby scores in overtime as Penguins edge Canadiens 2-1 By Kelsey Patterson The Canadian Press MONTREAL e Montreal Canadiens | went toe-to-toe with one of the best NHL teams, but a bench minor in overtime was their undoing.Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby scored with the man advantage at 3:41 of overtime to lead the Penguins to a 2-1 victory over the Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Saturday.\u201cThat\u2019s not the way you want to go down,\u201d said Carey Price, who stopped 35-of-37 shots in defeat.\u201cThey stepped it up a notch in the third period and made it difficult for me to come up the ice.It was a pretty tight game overall.We played them pretty tough.\u201cIt came down to a penalty and a broken stick.\u201d The Canadiens took a 1-1 tie into the overtime period but were penalized for having too many men on the ice.Playing 4 on-3 hockey, the Penguins were patient\u2014 with Crosby, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin trading a half-dozen passes in the setup to the game-winning goal.To make matters worse for the Habs, Tomas Plekanec was playing without a stick after breaking his earlier that shift.When the Pens finally shot the puck on net, Crosby made no mistake from the faceoff circle to Price\u2019s left, beating the Canadiens netminder with a one-timer, short side.Price had previously denied Crosby on a couple of opportunities, most notably with a flashy glove save in the third period.\u201cYou try to forget those other chances pretty quickly,\u201d said Crosby, who earned his 44th point of the year.\u201c(Price) made a good glove save late in the third.And you finally get one through him, and his defenceman bails him out.It\u2019s an uphill battle sometimes.\u201cWe were fortunate to get a power play (in overtime).Guys were moving around, and I got a good look there.It was a great pass from Geno (Maikin).\u201d Montreal tempted fate in the extra frame with its fourth minor penalty of the encounter.Michel Therrien\u2019s men were undisciplined in the third, with Tom Gilbert and Alexei Emelin taking back-to-back penalties for interference and hooking, respectively.The Penguins (25-106) came into this one struggling with the man advantage, having gone 1-for-19 in their previous seven games.But after going 0- for-3 against the Habs in regulation time, Pittsburgh finally made the most of its extra skater.\u201cThey have so much skill over there,\u201d said Max Pacioretty, who scored Montreal's lone goal in the first period.\u201cYou give them too many chances, especially on the power play at the end of the game, you know they're going to capitalize.The Habs (26-12-3) have now lost two consecutive games after winning nine of their previous 10.With the game still tied at 1- 1, Pacioretty came inches away from giving the Habs the victory late in the third period, but his shot found the side netting instead of the gaping hole with three minutes on the clock.This is the second clash between the Pens and Canadiens in a week.Last Saturday, Montreal scored two early goals and Price added 30 saves en route to a 4-1 road victory.That win temporarily propelled the Habs to the top of the Eastern Conference standings.In Saturday's rematch, Pa- cioretty put the Canadiens on the board with a rare first-pe- riod goal.THe rifled home his team-leading 18th of the season at 18:10 after capitalizing on a Penguins giveaway.Pacioretty intercepted a sloppy pass by Crosby in his own zone and skated the length of the ice.With defenceman Robert Bortuzzo between him and Marc-Andre Fleury, Pa- cioretty sent an accurate wris- ter in the roof of the goal, short side.The sharp-shooting left winger has scored four goals in his last four games.Pacioretty is particularly dangerous against the Pens, having now scored nine goals in 20 games versus Pittsburgh.Montreal forward Christian Thomas, recalled from Hamil ton on Thursday, played on the fourth line with former teammates Sven Andrighetto and Michael Bournival.Thomas and his linemates had a solid first period bolstered by their relentless forecheck.Bournival drew a penalty midway through the frame, and Thomas took a big slap shot on Fleury a few minutes later.That young fourth line was caught on the ice when Malkin beat Price to tie the game at 18:28 of the second period.Malkin fired a slap shot from the blueline and the puck found its way through several bodies for his fifth point in four games.Beau Bennett and Alexei Emelin were blocking Price\u2019s view of the shot.-\u2014 Page 8 MONDAY, JANUARY

The Record | newsroom@st erbr erbrookerecord.com MONDAY, JANUARY 12, ZU15 rage » At first, we liked the stepmother, laughed a bit and everyone got along well MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 2015 Dear Annie: I am married to one of four siblings who dutifully took care of their aged parents until their mother died a few years ago.Daddy, in his mid- 80s, met a bevy of women at his new upscale care facility and proposed marriage to one of them within two weeks.She turned him down, but a mutual friend accepted and she secretly married Daddy shortly thereafter.The woman has two children, both in professional jobs, one of whom is an attorney.At first, we liked the stepmother, laughed a bit and everyone got along well.But 18 months later, Daddy died and we discovered that he had drafted a document leaving his estate, worth almost a million dollars, to her.Now the stepmother will not answer any of our calls and hangs up if we somehow manage to get through.We certainly feel slighted, but this woman is our legal stepmother and we would, with civility, like to make our case to her to use some of that money to help with our children\u2019s college tuitions.How do we address her?\u2014 Bombed in Birmingham Dear Bombed: Oh, my.We're certain our readers will come up with many names you can call her, none of which are printable.Your 80-something father-in- law signed over his estate to a woman he barely knew, they married in secret, and it lasted a short time.This entire situation sounds fishy.You need a lawyer.Now.Dear Annie: I had been living with \u201cRafe\u201d for 10 years until we split up several months ago.Recently, Annie\u2019s Mailbox he called to say that his brother had died.I wanted to attend the funeral, but Rafe said he didn\u2019t want me to be there because we weren't together anymore.This made me upset and it hurt.Then he said his family probably wouldn't want me there, either.Since I knew his brother, I feel I should have shown up and paid respects.What difference does it make if we're together or not?I don\u2019t know how I'm supposed to feel now.| am sensitive and Rafe doesn\u2019t care that he hurts my feelings.\u2014 Ex-Girlfriend Dear Ex: This isn\u2019t about you.It is about Rafe and his family.If they were uncomfortable having you at the funeral, it was right for you to stay away.It is natural that you wanted to pay your respects, but their feelings come first.It would be very gracious of you to send a condolence card to Rafe and his family, expressing your sadness over their loss, and perhaps sharing a fond memory of Rafe\u2019s brother.Dear Annie: I'd like to weigh in on servers calling people \u201cHon\u201d or \u201cSweetheart.\u201d I'm a widower in my late 60s.I agree almost entirely with those who dislike being called \u201cSweetie,\u201d by servers.But the fact is, I have never had a young male address me in any way I found offensive.However, it is a daily ritual for me with the young ladies.I used to go to a coffee shop four times a week.About three years ago, as if someone flipped a switch, I began to be addressed as \u201cSweetie\u201d or \u201cSweetheart.\u201d It came with a condescending tone, too.I heard them address older women the same way.I quit going there.I took my late wife\u2019s brother to our local steakhouse.The young hostess escorted us to the darkest corner and after we were seated, lit the table candle and said coyly, \u201cThis will make it more romantic for you guys.\u201d Maybe these young females should get some sensitivity training before they are put into positions where they come into contact with the public.Just because we are over 60 doesn\u2019t mean we suddenly need coddling.\u2014 Sonora, California Dear Annie: ! have relatives who cannot discuss certain topics without flying into a rage.I usually try not to engage, but it still hurts when they attack my beliefs and opinions.How do I get them to.calm down?I sometimes think it would be better if I cut them off completely.Your advice?\u2014 Minnesota Dear Minnesota: If these are distant relatives, we recommend you avoid them as much as possible.If you are forced to be in their company, do not converse with them beyond superficial pleasantries.You are not obligated to respond to every question asked of you, and it would help if you didn\u2019t take their comments so personally.People who cannot control themselves while socializing have anger management issues.If things get out of hand, say goodbye and walk out the door.Annie\u2019s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie\u2019s Mailbox, cfo Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.CROSSWORD Across 44 \u201cI hope you've learned your __!\u201d 32 Vegetables in pods 50 \u201cTake a hike!\u201d 1 \u201cSay it isn\u2019t so!\u201d 47 Pro vote 33 The \u201cB\u201d in TV\u2019s former The WB net- 53 Verifiable findings 5 Slick 48 Little white lie work 54 \u201cSnowy\u201d wader 9 Japanese poem with 17 syllables 51 \u201c__-hoo!
