newsroom(@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record A renaissance at the Richmond-Melbourne Cross-Country Ski Centre By Nick Fonda Special to The Record MELBOURNE and snow and cold of winter is to go outdoors and have fun.At least, that\u2019s what Jacques Thibault, the new director of the Richmond-Melbourne Cross-Country Ski Centre contends.(It\u2019s relevant to note that Jacques is an avid outdoor enthusiast who spends his summers canoeing and taking week-long cycling expeditions.) \u201cThe Centre has been in operation for 35 years,\u201d he points out, \u201calthough it\u2019s undergone considerable changes in that time.Originally, it operated out of the golf club and it was known as the Belle vue Cross-Country Ski Club, Bellevue being the name of the Melbourne Golf Club.The construction of Highway 55 altered some of the trails, and when the new chalet was built in 1988, the name was changed to avoid confusion with Sherbrooke\u2019s Mont Bellevue which offers downhill skiing.\u201d The chalet, a rather cozy and inviting space that can accommodate about 100 \u2018people, cost $78 000 to build\u2014very little by today\u2019s standards, but those involved at the time recall an arduous process: applying for provincial government grants, organizing fundraising events, even writing out IOUs to 15 people who loaned sums of $500 to $2,000.AO {y BCS T= best way to cope with the wind Marketing Communications Officer Thibeault doesn\u2019t hide the fact that the 2011-12 season was a very rough one for the Centre.A combination of poor snow conditions and administrative problems meant that only a few kilometres of trails were open for no more than a week.This season is shaping up quite dif ferently.\u201cWe have a new board of directors,\u201d Jacques says, \u201cnine members in all; presided by Benoit Gervais and made up of landowners, officials from Richmond, Melbourne and the Centre Local du Développement du Val-St-François, and ski club members.The Centre has always been very much a partnership as all the trails cut through land that belongs to 18 different landowners who allow skiers access to their property.The Centre has two paid employees, myself and Marjolayne Jutras-Rousselle.We've had lots of snow so far this winter and we were able to open on December 26 right after the first snowstorm of the season.\u201d The Centre has 44 km of trails that are maintained by a small but very dedicated group of volunteers.Perhaps most notable among them are two octogenarians, Jean-Guy Berti- aume and Georges-Henri Poulin who have been very active volunteers since the 1976-77 season.Beginning in late August and until the start of hunting season, they spend much of their free time preparing the trails, a task which entails cutting back shrubbery, removing fallen trees, and occasionally adding gravel to a trail bed or erecting a bridge over a small stream.This despite the fact that, for the last five or six years, Jean-Guy has been unable to ski because of knee problems.As soon as 20 or more centimetres of snow have fallen, the Centre\u2019s two wide- track Bombardier snowmobiles get out on the trails to pack down the snow.They are followed by an all-terrain vehicle which drags behind it a tracker, a simple machine that forms two grooves in the snow that serve as a track for skiers to follow.Steeper pitches generally won\u2019t be opened until 40 cm or more have fallen.\u201cWhat makes Richmond-Melbourne Centre a very appealing place to ski, or at least one of the things,\u201d Jacques says, \u201cis the fact that we offer a very good balance of easy, intermediate, and expert trails.We'll often see four people arrive together and two will set off for the expert trails while the other two go on a more leisurely trek on the intermediate or easy runs.\u201d \u201cWe're very lucky here,\u201d he continues, \u201cbecause the countryside is lovely, very picturesque, so it\u2019s visually pleasing to be out on the trails.As well, the terrain is hilly enough to provide the more adventurous skiers with some challenging climbs and exciting descents.But we also have valleys that provide gentler terrain.\u201d \u201cOur trails are of the classic cross- country variety as opposed to the skate- skiing type,\u201d adds Jacques.\u201cExcept for Trail #1 which is wider and accommodates skiers going in two directions, all of our trails are cut to be about eight feet wide and are designed for one-way traffic.\u201d Skiers will find three small shelters on Trails # 12, 14, and 16, each with a small stove and a pile of wood so that anyone who wishes to take a little break and warm up by a warm fire can do so.Between them, the shelters go through five or six cords of wood on a typical winter.The people who frequent the Centre are a mix of locals and people from farther afield.\u201cWe're very centrally located,\u201d Jacques points out.\u201cWe\u2019re half an hour from Sherbrooke, Drum- mondville and Victoriaville.We're an hour and a half from Montreal, and we have regular visitors from all those areas.\u201d An aduit\u2019s day ticket at the Richmond Melbourne Ski Centre is $12.50 and children under 12 ski for free.Season passes range from $35 for 13 year-olds to $15 for adults.Ski rental (skis, boots, poles) is $15 for adults and $9 for children.Group rates are available and the chalet can also be rented for banquets, weddings or other special occasions.To contact the Centre de ski de fond Richmond-Melbourne you can call (819) 826-3869, or you can go to the web site at

from ATV riders this year, although he couldn\u2019t quantify this observation.The city allowed the passage of quads on Chemin Hamel last winter, but 28 of 29 area residents opposed its renewal.Council complied with their request in order to keep the peace.Arc-en-ciel Quad Cub member Denis Prevost called for the restoration of the right of way at city council Monday.He also suggested the creation of an emergency committee.Council responded that such a committee already exists and meets periodically.ATV clubs are responsible for obtaining rights of way on private land before

The Nanticoke coal plant on the shores of Lake Erie will be shut down in the near future.It was the biggest coal powered plant in North America and fed over 3,000 megawatts of power into the grid.It was also the single most important source of Greenhouse gas emissions in the country.There are now only 740 megawatts of coal power left in Ontario.Nanticoke is scheduled to be shut down for good by the end of the year.A major shift is in the making.In Germany solar electricity supplied as much as 50 per cent of all the national needs just a few weeks ago.Germany also happens to be the leader in wind power production in Europe.Solar and wind electricity are cost effective in more and more countries, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), a United-Nations body with more than 160 member countries.The global energy shift has begun.The economics are making more and more sense when comparing renew- ables to more conventional sources.Yet they don\u2019t receive nearly as much fiscal and financial support as do oil, coal and gas.China is investing massively in solar power and has managed to reduce the cost of a solar kilowatt-hour by two thirds in less than five years.It is now the world leader in solar equipment production.Domestic rooftop installations in Germany have also gone down by 65 per cent in a few short years.We are relatively immune to this major shift in Quebec, and for an obvious reason: we have some of the cheapest electricity around.This doesn\u2019t mean we should shy away from solar or wind power.They are a perfect fit as a complement to our hydro system.This is why we have more and more wind projects.We have reached a point where the electricity from the next dam will cost just as much as that from the next series of windmills.Also, even if wind is intermittent by nature, it happens to blow more and stronger when we need electricity the most: in winter! By way of a technical tour de force by Hydro-Québec, every kilowatt-hour produced by wind helps keep just as much power behind the dams.This mix is only possible between hydro and wind power.Both being renewable we stay the course environmentally speaking.Also whatever surpluses result from this mix can be sold at a premium in summer months when New-York or Boston need the extra air conditioning.In turn this extra money helps us balance our budget.every year! : With so much electricity we should now concentrate on our next move: electric cars, and an electric recharging network for the entire province.Car recharge facilities all over the place.Some St-Hubert restaurants already offer this service now.Reload your car while you fill your body! The shift away from oil is a must.It makes environmental and economic sense.Running on cheap, clean and renewable electricity will save us billions per year, literally.Our collective oil bill is now around $16 billion, with most of it going to transportation.Let\u2019s do it.We are blessed by nature and we have made the most of it.Not everyone is that lucky.Consider Beijing where some of the dirtiest, SO2 loaded coal on the planet is burned to produce electricity.This city is famous for its high pollution levels.Last Saturday a concentration of more than 700 micrograms of particles per cubic metre of air was registered.Street level vision was down to a few metres at best.After strict and urgent measures were taken the level was brought down to 350 parts.Strict measures?Stay home your shop is closed, do not go out, keep your house closed, lower your heating and so on.The city was nearly shut down.Yet, the resulting reduction was still a long way from the World Heatlh Organization standard of.25! Yes, the Chinese need solar energy and a lot of it.So, while we count our blessings, let us be reminded than any energy shift from polluting sources serves us all.The coal the Chinese burn sends particles than can be found in ice samples all over the northern hemisphere.No matter where we are, any small shift brightens the global picture.Using less energy of any kind remains the most effective way to diminish our environmental footprint.There are no small steps in the energy shift.Look what we have to look forward to By Steven Black o deaf, identical twin brothers | died in December having opted for the doctor assisted suicide that is legally available in Belgium.They chose this course under the careful law regulating euthanasia because they were going blind and couldn\u2019t bear the thought of losing their autonomy and no longer being able to see each other.Descriptions of their deaths included such positive words as serene, happy and beautiful.The prospect of avoiding unbearable suffering is certainly attractive to any honest and caring individual.To die under our own terms and in conditions that promise the least amount of suffering possible after having become satisfied that life holds no promise for happiness is something very appealing.How many of us haven\u2019t spoken of the preferred time and situation of our deaths?Most I know speak about preferring to die when they have lived a long healthy life and to die quietly in their sleep.With the majority of Canadians saying that they are in favour of doctor assisted suicide under limited conditions, the Marois government will be presenting an act to permit the practice under the Quebec healthcare mandate.Many will applaud.It will seem to them the compassionate thing to do since eutha- nizing our pets is a common, painful experience for many of us.It would also be the final act of personal choice that would be available to assure autonomy right to the end.Studies in Oregon where doctor assisted suicide has been legally available for several years show that this matter of autonomy is one of the most important reasons patients gave in choosing this option.84 per cent reported the fear of losing personal autonomy as motivation for seeking this means of death.Tied with this reason is concern about THE RECORD PO.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 5L6 or 1195 Galt E.Sherbrooke J1G 1Y7 Fax FOR NEWSROOM ONLY: 819-569-3945 EMAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WessiTE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON McCuLLy PUBLISHER .(819) 569-9511 DANIEL CouLoMBE News EDITOR .| (819) 569-6345 STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .222000 00 02e cn 00 (819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .coouvean.d (819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION .(819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM .22202 0000 (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 QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 120.00 600 1197 S137.97 6 MONTHS 63.00 3.15 6.28 S72.43 3 MONTHS 32.00 160 3.19 $36.79 ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS Quesec: 1 YEAR 55.00 2.75 549 $63.24 1 MONTH 499 025 050 $5.74 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 \u2018Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA the decreasing ability to take part in enjoyable activities.Far behind at 26 per cent was the fear of inadequate pain relief.Dependence and isolation would motivate many to opt for death.Ours is a society that champions the idea personal free choice is the highest good.We also value a society where an institution of some kind is expected to provide for the daily needs of people hopefully to absolve persons from the burden of having to take personal responsibility for the care of others like a disabled child, a depressed friend or a parent with dementia.Too many people do not have connection with the kind of family or community that will stand by them through everything that comes their way.Nor do they have the comforting assurance that people want to care for them through thick and thin.They can\u2019t imagine being a burden on anyone else.So in sympathy with people fearful of a lonely, unhappy and dependent life I want to offer some questions of warning we need to consider when choosing this path in Quebec.First, to physicians, schools of medicine, nurses and other health care providers - are you prepared to make euthanasia a normal part of your training and an expected part of your job?Are you prepared to deal with patients who cannot see the value of alternative care or with clinics, hospitals and a medical system straining with problems of capacity and budgets that might well pressure you to offer this option as a way to solve these problems?To pharmacists and pharmacist assistants - are you prepared to provide the lethal drugs that will lead to death and with the express purpose of death when the prescription comes your way?Consider what your pharmacy will become party to.To long term care facilities or those that care for disabled children and adults - are you ready to be compelled to provide the option of euthanasia or to support the availability of this option for those under your care?Are you ready to deal with family members who will be looking in this direction?Tax payers - are you prepared to underwrite the costs of doctor assisted suicide and the funding of clinics that specialize in euthanasia?Are you ready to fight the impulse to accept euthanasia as a means to save tax dollars over and against the higher costs of long term care and therapy?To Quebecers \u2014 are you ready to seek the medical care and advice of doctors and hospital care where the option of euthanasia will be offered to you at times when your own emotional state is most vulnerable?Are you ready for the undeclared assumption that your life is no longer valuable when a person is no longer independent and when they are thought to no longer have the ability to enjoy activities most healthy people can?Are you ready for the pressure that in such a society no institution or family should be forced to go to extra effort to love and care for you?Are you ready when caring for a dependent loved one that some medical professional is going to come along and suggest to you that a loving, kind option for them is death and with the stroke of a pen and a'couple of interviews it can be possible?\u201cSerene, happy and beautiful\u201d seem inadequate to describe such a world.

When it comes to the gift of health there is no time limit or expiry date as to when you can enlighten someone you care about \u2014 or yourself for that matter.With more people making healthy choices each year, the marketplace is exploding with new gluten \u2014 free product and other healthy choices.Giving the gift of health all year round can change your partner\u2019s life or someone you know.For most runners, eating well and following an exercise program goes hand- in-hand.According to Stats Canada, healthy eating plays an important role in promoting health and helps to prevent obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers.Along with the health benefits of physical activity, include a reduced risk of high blood pressure, depression, stress and anxiety.In 2011, 53.8 per cent of Canadians were at least \u201cmoderately active\u201d during their leisure time \u2014 energy expended at work, in transportation or doing housework is

headed for a one-sided victory until the Gaiters responded with a furious late-game rally.Trailing 5745 with less than five minutes remaining, Bishop\u2019s finished the game with a 15-6 run but ran out of time.The Gaiters, who were backed by a boisterous crowd, hurt themselves by missing a number of layups and connected on just eight of 16 foul shots in the second half.Their offensive inefficiency ruined a solid defensive effort in which they forced 28 turnovers and held McGill to their lowest point total in seven league games.Mike Andrews led Bishop\u2019s with 18 points while

their credit the Lady Gaiters did not quit and won the fourth quarter 18-9.Bailey Trafford had her best game of the season as she tallied 18 points and grabbed five rebounds while Riley Shkimba added 12 points to the Gaiter cause.Bishop\u2019s heads to Montreal Saturday afternoon for a doubleheader with the Concordia Stingers.Their next home game is slated for Wednesday, January 23 when they host

20 million Canadians suffer from digestive disorders every year.This can be devastating to your personal and professional life.As eating healthy and running daily is part of my routine, let me introduce you to a gluten-free health product that I\u2019ve sampled, called i heart keenwabh.I tried the cranberry cashew flavor, a ready-to-eat snack.It\u2019s natural, sweet and chewy and is very crunchy.The clusters are square-shaped and I enjoyed this flavor.Having cranberries mixed with a cashew flavour was delicious.I was careful not to crunch the clusters too hard for fear of chipping a tooth.Eating these snacks makes me less hungry between meals and I'm looking forward to trying the other flavours.The US company, i heart keenwah was founded in 2009, claims the snack can be eaten between meals basically at any time and comes in four flavours: almond, cranberry cashew, ginger peanut and chocolate sea salt, and are available at most Canadian health food stores.In May 2012, in

years.Both made mistakes when they were married, but the end was due to my mom\u2019s drinking.Dad provided for me and now takes an active role in his grandchildren\u2019s lives, always making an effort to show up for their events.Mom is a different story.She is an alcoholic.When I was younger, she constantly criticized me.I was never \u201cgood enough.\u201d She demeans my housekeeping skills, my parenting and my appearance.Mom also has become increasingly negative about my father.She has something bad to say about him every time I speak to her.She blames Dad for the way her life turned out.I have a hard time trusting her with my children.I attempted to make regular visiting arrangements when the kids were younger, but she would never commit to a specific schedule.Now she rarely sees them because making the time isn\u2019t a priority.Over the years, I have gone to counseling, and I have created a good life for myself.| have suggested counsel ing to Mom, but she refuses to get help for any of her various issues.I've also suggested talking to other family members, although she\u2019s estranged from most of them.I really am at the end of my rope.The few visits she makes are stressful and anxiety filled.I have already lim- - ited contact to when I am prepared to handle her, and frankly, I don\u2019t want to bother anymore.But I hate the idea of hurting her.She is still my mother.How can I deal with her negativity?\u2014 Tired Daughter Dear Tired: We understand that Mom\u2019s visits are exhausting, and you are right to limit them.Now you need to create boundaries for her behavior.If she speaks neg- Annie\u2019s Mailbox atively, say, \u201cI don\u2019t wish to discuss this.\u201d If she keeps at it, you can leave or ask her to leave.It might change her behavior, but if not, at least you won't be there to listen to it.We also urge you to contact Adult Children of Alcoholics (adultchildren.org) for additional support.- Dear Annie: À few days ago, I attended the wake of a good friend of 40 years.She was in her mid-50s and died unexpectedly.She left a 12-year-old daughter.As we arrived at the funeral home, we thought there was a line to sign in.Wrong.It turned out to be about 25 \u201ctweens\u201d practicing their cheerleading.These girls blocked the front door and the hallway.They route in their final days.My grandmothers were both sweet, vulnerable and a little bit scared in the end, but neither hostile nor combative.This may have been because they were surrounded by people who truly loved and supported them during that vulnerable time.One reason some people become \u201cangry\u201d and resistant is that they are disoriented in an unfamiliar environment with strangers taking care of them.\u2014 Field Services

funeral home should have taken charge of this circus and asked the girls to be more respectful, and you could have spoken to the funeral director.But we hope it was comforting to the 12-year-old to see her friends there, even if they were laughing and taking pictures.It\u2019s a blessing not to know death at that age.Dear Annie: \u201cRealistic\u201d referred to the decline of the elderly as
