morrow, Feb.2, Bishop\u2019s University will be holding the 8th annual Charity Fashion Show on campus at the Centennial Theatre.The title for this year\u2019s event is \u2018BeaUtiful People\u2019.The undeniable highlight of the winter semester, was completely Sold Out last Wednesday morning, making this year\u2019s show one of the most successful funding raising on-campus events of the year.Organized almost completely by student volunteers, proceeds from the event benefit one charity per year, which receives almost 100 per cent of profits after the costs of insurance and renting Centennial Theatre are factored in.The charity chosen for the 8th show is the Bishop's University Refugee Sponsorship Fund.Each year, the Fund supports two international refugee students financially for their education.One will attend Bishop\u2019s University, and another will attend Champlain College.The goal of this year\u2019s Charity Fashion Show is to raise $10,000, which will bring one additional student to Bishop's University in the coming school year.The Refugee Sponsorship Fund was chosen in an effort to support a more local charity.In the past, charities such as N.O.A.H.and Unicef have been selected.In order to keep costs as low as possible, the Fashion Show runs on the generosity of local and national clothing companies to supply the modeled fashions.This year, some of the companies to be watching for include Parasuco, Diesel, Adidas, Aqua, Calvin Klein, Uncool Clothing (designed by a Bishop\u2019s University student), 88 Queen (a local Lennoxville Boutique), and Hatley (also local), just to name a few.The Fashion Show Executive Team, headed this year by Jordan Bulley, Jamie Horrelt, and John Graham, has been working hard to create an interesting mix of fashion and fun for all those who were lucky enough to have purchased a ticket.| Bishop's University charity fashion show The audience is always glammed up and ready for a great night at this semi-for- mal event, cheering on friends as they walk down the cat-walk.The traditional Fashion Show after party will be held at the on-campus bar, The Gait, with admission included in the price of the show\u2019s ticket.With more than 40 behind the scene volunteers, 80 male and female models, 20 dancers from the Bishop's University Dance Club, and 450 tickets sold, it\u2019s no wonder that the show is the most highly anticipated event of the winter semester.Kaleah Baker is Co-Communi- cations Officer, Bishop's University SRC Somewhere on the 20 at Uplands plands Cultural and | | Heritage

variety\u201d St.George's Anglican Church host to new organ Gordon Lambie Special to The Record Lennoxville has just become the home of a brand new, locally made Organ.Yves Petitclerc, a local artisan, built the components of the organ in his workshop in Bromptonville before assembling the organ itself in the church.Petitclerc worked in collaboration with Lennoxville native and experienced organist Leslie Young whom he referred to the organ\u2019s \u201cartistic director.\u201d Petitclerc said that this style of organ is typically referred to as a \u201cdigital organ\u201d, but that he doesn\u2019t agree with that terminology.\u201cIt\u2019s a pipe organ,\u201d he said, \u201cThere are close to 5,000 pipes, all of which must be made and tuned.\u201d The only dif ference, according to the organ\u2019s creator, is that the pipes are not physically there, \u201c.the pipes are digital,\u201d existing in the inner workings of a complex- multi channel sound system.At a demonstration of the organ on Tuesday morning, Petitclerc explained the workings of the organ with pride.The parts of the organ that are visible within the sanctuary are elaborate, with 92 stops and four different keyboards available for the organist to make different sounds.As complicated as the instrument appears at face value, Petitclerc said there was much more beneath the surface.In a room out of sight, the digital instruments of the organ manage the various tasks and instructions of the organist to produce a amazing room-filling sound of unquestionable accuracy.\u201cIt\u2019s as large as the organ they're installing in the new concert hall in Montreal, the big Casavant, in terms of variety\u201d he said, comparing his work, with pride, to that of the noted St-Hy- acinthe pipe organ makers.Perhaps the most amazing thing about this new organ is that it is not a situation of an artisan selling his work to a local congregation.Petitclerc paid for the whole thing himself and then he and Young sought out a space to house it.When asked why St.Georges was selected for this impressive presentation, Young smiled and said, \u201cwell, it\u2019s very close to my house.\u201d Si George's Anglican Church in Beyond that, though, Petitclerc elab- -, orated, \u201cFirst it was a concept; to make good sound.Then we looked for a place to put it with good acoustics.\u201d He called St.George's \u201cperfect.\u201d This organ, which took around a year to build, and has been in development for many more, is the fourth such organ that Petitclerc has created, and is his largest to date.The other three, though, are not in spaces where the public can appreciate what they have to offer.The new organ is to be played publicly for the first time this coming Sunday at 4 p.m.in a choral evensong service, the likes of which has not been seen at St.George's for about 30 years, according to Young.Roy Stinson, a warden of St.George's church spoke with great enthusiasm about the upcoming service.He noted that this addition to the church community would allow for the reintroduction of sung services to the church\u2019s regular life.More than that, though, he said St.George's is aiming to really showcase the new organ and organ music.Young, who will be the guest organist for Sunday\u2019s service was clearly excited about the performance, \u201cA choral evensong has a magnificat in the middle, which are usually pretty big pieces.they're about twelve pages long.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful addition to our church music.\u201d Stinson said, going on to say that St.George's has been making an effort to have activity in the church on more than Sunday mornings, and that they aim to be a hub for music and concerts in the community.Flooding onto Little Forks a

only with stage shows but also films and workshops for adults and young people interested in theatre and performing arts.Since its beginning, the Coeur du Village has witnessed the birth of an im- prov league, an amateur theatre group, a troupe of Gypsy dancers and an annual summer theatre camp focused on the performing arts.The Star for a Night fundraiser will feature the talents of local artists including: Christian Beaulieu, Bethanie Boivin, Genvieve Dube, Colette Harrison, Sarah-Marie Leblanc, Robert Menard, Manon Rivest, Guylaine Theri- ault, Chris Ward and Lise Cameron.Tickets are

encouraged to come out in support of the performances of these talented individuals and the efforts being made to raise funds for the Centre.The Coeur du Village is particularly extraordinary due to the fact that it operates thanks to the passionate participation and involvement of some forty generous volunteers.For a schedule and description of upcoming shows, visit their website at

2012 with the number of highway accidents at its lowest level (806) since the creation of the unified MRC board in 1994.In addition, the number of road accidents has not exceeded 1,000 for the last four years.\u201cFor various reasons, police receive complaints regarding their application of the highways safety code, a communiqué says, \u201cWe are often seen as indirect tax collectors and patrollers are victims of ignorance of their work by a large part of the population.We attribute these excellent results to the efforts of patrol officers in their daily work.\u201d The average number of tickets issued over the last 12 years has been 7,685 while in 2012, the number was 7,775.Essentially, the annual number of cited infractions has remained steady.Police attribute the improving record to safety strategies implemented by the police in high-risk areas rather than the number of tickets issued.On another front, the news is not quite as good in terms of drunk-driving arrests on the Memphremagog territory in 2012, which are up by 23 per cent.Police credit increased vigilance and special roadblocks for the number of impaired drivers pulled off the road and notes that a third of all offenders were between the ages of 16 and 25.Throughout 2012, the operating principle was \u2018zero tolerance\u2019 for impaired driving, police say and officers were particularly vigilant.Police also enhanced their visibility in the region.\u201cWe also encouraged random vehicle checks as permitted by Section 636 of the Highway Safety Code.In addition to checking the legality of documents, these interventions are designed to highlight the presence of police officers on the road, mainly on the night shift.\u201d Not legally drunk, busted anyway afternoon, Memphremagog

priority at the new locations.There is no word on why Best Buy did not inform its employees of the decision, a matter which has left many confused and upset, including the NDP MP for Sherbrooke,

inventory and parking.\u201cWe realized that many francophones were looking for English books and we had them in Montreal, so it was easy to bring them to Sherbrooke,\u201d said Li- zotte.\u201cWe needed to appeal to all cultures and English is one of those cultures.\u201d The books they use to stock four rows of shelves at the back of the store came from the Paragraph bookstore Archambault acquired several years ago in Montreal.It was part of a decade long expansion of its original music store into books, compact discs and digital video discs.\u201cWe started out as a store on Berri st.in downtown Montreal selling music sheets and instruments,\u201d said Lizotte.\u201cBut we realized we should be offering all forms of entertainment and culture, no matter what the language.\u201d Shoppers arriving at the Sherbrooke Archambault outlet are greeted at the front of the store by tables and shelves full of English and French books, DVDs and CDs.French and English newspapers are displayed near the exit door and the musical instruments are now at the back behind a glass doored area.Just before those glass doors, the four rows of English books are advertised with subject sections printed out above them.A bargain bin is standing nearby.\u201cWe have about 7,000 titles on those shelves,\u201d explained Lizotte.\u201cAbout 2,000 of the titles are for youth.When we first brought in the English books, there were only two rows of shelves.\u201d And beyond the printed, paper and cloth bound books are even more ebooks available at the store and on the Archambault website, again in both languages.\u201cWe were the first to market e.books in Quebec,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd we have about 38,000 English book titles listed in e.book form now.If you can\u2019t find it at our Sherbrooke store, just ask for it or find it on our website.\u201d Lizotte said Archambault\u2019s competition for English books is not Chapters-Indigo in Montreal, but Yahoo Apple and Amazon, which sell English e.books online.\u201cThat is why we have to be aggressive and expand the choices we offer our consumers.\u201d For shoppers looking for new English books, the Archambault store feels like an oasis.\u201cIt is great to see English books again in Sherbrooke,\u201d said resident Rick Inglemann.\u201cThere is just one English bookstore in Brome Lake.If not there, you have to go to

surpluses five or ten years from now, well, I can only sigh! Too much electricity or not enough imagination?By Francois Tanguay last couple of weeks about the surplus electric power Hydro-Quebec has and will have for the next few years.Some news sources have opined that Hydro-Quebec will be buying wind power at twelve cents a kilowatt-hour and this added source will affect our electricity rates more than our reserves.I beg to differ and for a number of reasons.First and foremost, let\u2019s review the numbers.Last time I checked we reached the highest peak demand ever just a week ago, almost 40,000 megawatts! Did we have too much electricity then?Keep in mind the extra back up power Hydro was obligated to buy on the outside markets to meet this demand was very expensive, a lot more than wind power, even if technically there is a big difference between power and energy, between constant nuclear power and intermittent wind power.We still needed both energy and power to meet this peak.Energy relates to the reserves we have, what we can count on in the long run, Power is the capacity to meet any demand exactly when it is needed.We could have plenty of water behind the T's has been a lot of talk in the dams (energy) and yet not be able to meet extreme cold demand for a number of hours (power).Obviously we need all the energy and power we can get our hands on.Then there is the issue of how much of both we will need in the next few years and this is where things get a bit complicated.Predicting demand, even a year ahead, is a very tricky business.It is almost impossible to be precise for a simple reason; we don\u2019t know what the weather will be next winter, never mind five years from now! Climate change is wreaking havoc and creating all sorts of weird situations.The last few weeks are a good example of this.But winters wont just disappear and cold snaps will remain.Some scientists even predict shorter winters and more extreme cold snaps because of the shifting air masses.We just don\u2019t really know for sure.So when I hear the \u2018so-called experts\u2019 claim that there will be huge surpluses five or ten years from now, well, I can only sigh! Let\u2019s get serious and act on facts.First and foremost Hydro has to come clean with the best numbers it has.What is the status of the reservoirs?What are the projected surpluses for the next five years and on what assumption are these numbers based?How much does it cost to make last minute purchases when we are in need of extra power?These numbers are usually available in the annual report, to some extent.I suggest that in the name of clarity Hydro-Quebec put forward in the next month or so, just how much this all amounts to.Then, and only then, can we take a serious look at whatever extra reserves we have and what the effect on our final collective bill is going to be.As far as I'm concerned we have an opportunity for change.This extra power must be redirected at a brisk pace towards a massive electrification of our transport system.Here are a few numbers that come from the Centre national du transport avancé (CNTA) our foremost research lab on transport for the future, with a long experience in electric mobility.The best transport systems in the world are electric: the TGV in Europe, trams all over the world, electric buses, suburban trains and of course cars.Every time an electric vehicle hits the road it\u2019s less noise, less pollution and savings for all.Covering one hundred kilometres in a Honda Civic costs about 11$, but the same distance in a fully electrified car will cost $1.25! Nine times less.Imagine postal trucks, local delivery fleets, taxis and all local services that can go electric tomorrow! If you fly to Vancouver the first thing you'll notice at the airport, is that the biggest taxi fleet is all hybrid.There is a sky train.Why not here?Every car taken off the road is five tons of carbon not emitted.If we go electric for one million cars we will immediately cut down our oil imports by 15 per cent.that\u2019s roughly three billion precious doMars.And all this wouldn't even make a dent in our electric consumption, less than 2 per cent of our annual demand.You get the picture.Of course it will not happen overnight, but it can happen within a few short years if we resort to a few basics.The first ingredient is the hardest to get: Political willl Without political leadership it won't happen, period.Vague statements are not enough.Then we need a series of financial incentives.There is a subsidy for hybrid cars, that\u2019s fine.But we need a serious program for small fleets, we must commit to electric transit once and for all instead of wasting money on further studies.I wonder where the debate on surpluses will be when we get these solutions oriented policies in place.In the mean time, let\u2019s get our act together and stop whining on how expensive our electricity is.There are killers in our midst STEVEN BLACK I don\u2019t know what to do about it.I should have picked up on the signs.Headless corpses would be deposited in my backyard but I paid little heed except to dispose of them quietly.I should have caught on when a decapitated body was found under my dining room table; yet again I discretely wrapped it in plastic and made it go away.But now it has been I= harbouring a mass murderer and revealed by researchers that others like the little cat living in our house are responsible for multiple killings all around the world numbering in the billions! I'm afraid that by keeping her and protecting her I am an accomplice in her dastardly deeds.I can no longer continue to deceive myself.Actually, the researchers sounded surprised at the magnitude of the slaughter.Anyone who owns a cat, though, won't be.When we adopted her at 4 years of age, we knew there was a risk of this nature.Propensity to destroy our personal belongings by tearing them to shreds led us to taking her weapons away from her but this seems to be no deterrent to her murderous intent.She always seemed so eager to leave the house and we couldn\u2019t confine her without strange behaviours occurring.\u2014\u2014\" re - LW\" 3 > RECORD - PO.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 516 or 1195 Galt E, Sherbrooke J1G 1Y7 FAX FOR NEWSROOM ONLY: 819-569-3945 E-MAIL:

day and night.We took her to the doctor on a regular basis.We even let her share our bed if she wanted which she took full advantage of, often crowding us out or even sleeping on top of us.In the

every wish.She seems so sweet most of the time and we have come to love her.I can imagine that her bad behaviour has come about by being bullied and excluded.Some of those she killed had a

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record A RUNNER\u2019S MIND CHRISTINE BLANCHETTE eet Phil Jones, CEO and founder Me Dynavision D2, a groundbreaking sports visual training machine that looks like a game board.With its huge red and green lights mounted on a wall with approximately 75 LED buttons, the 56-year-old entrepreneur is making a world-wide impact with his visual training device, which will help medical professionals to better monitor an athlete\u2019s progress from brain injury.The athlete\u2019s hand-eye coordination is tested by reaction time to shutting off the various lights as they appear, giving doctors and trainers an ability to monitor progress in everything from concussion, to spinal chord injury, to strokes and attention deficit disorder, whereas only a short time ago, nobody seemed to know much about the time needed for brain injuries to heal.The session takes 15-20 minutes and there are approximately 1,000 potential programs from basic to intricate flashing letters and numbers to test the athlete\u2019s reaction time with no limit to the level of testing.Dynavision D2 An innovative sports vision training tool for athletes Phil Jones, CEO and founder of Dynavision.In a recent phone interview from his office in Markham, Ontario Jones said, \u201cI'm from Scarborough (very close) and moved to Markham 25 years ago.The Dy- navision D2 machine is to increase concentration on the field and it can also help prevent injuries.The athlete would use the machine once or twice a week and it\u2019s fun and motivational for them.\u201d He adds, \u201cIt is an influential rehab machine among stroke and brain trauma patients and high performance athletes.It is for every athlete and coach.Plans are to have a home version D3 coming BisHOP\u2019S UNIVERSITY WOMEN\u2019S HOCKEY soon,\u201d he says.Jones played seven seasons as a CFL defensive back with the Edmonton Eskimos and it was in his final year in 1986 that he was introduced to visual training.He was impressed by his results and was stimulated enough that he bought the rights from the manufacturer.He redesigned the machine in his garage and the Dynavision 2000 was born, showcasing at tradeshows while making it a new advanced competitive vision training tool with many athletes and patients.Later, because of growing popularity, the Dynavision morphed into the D2 with more programs.This is a hands-on interactive hand/eye coordination and dynamic vision skills workout device, also good for wheelchair athletes and is for all ages, including 80-year-old stroke and dementia patients.For those suffering from attention deficit disorder, the therapist tracks the results of scores for reaction, speed and time.The Dynavision D2 is available in Canada, the US and Asia and is proven to monitor athletes\u2019 levels of reaction time.Professional sports teams, such as the New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, and Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as NASCAR drivers, US military personnel, to name a few, are turning to Jones\u2019 therapy machine to be able to think faster and react quickly.This pioneering machine carries a price tag of $15,000 and can be found in hospitals, health centers and high performance athletic training centers.Racecar drivers need good hand-eye coordination and the Dynavision D2 could be the difference maker between winning and losing.Improving NASCAR driver, 32-year-old Kasey Kahne trains regularly on the Dynavision, and won the November 2011 Kobalt Tools 500.There you have it, this new training device to help in the treatment of concussions, to stroke patients and is an innovative, progressive way to monitor their attempts to get back on track.For more information: www.dynavi- siond2.com www.christineruns.com Twitter:

suffered a 5-1 loss to the Red Wine senior team on Friday night at the W.B.Scott Arena.The Bears came into the contest on their best form of the season, having gone 2-2 since Christmas, including their first win in league play at the previous weekend's tournament in Nova Scotia.However, the absence of three regulars proved costly.The loss was the Bears\u2019 first in three meetings with the Red Wine.The visitors took a 2-0 first-period lead on goals by Amelie St-Louis and Taylor Coté.The Polar Bears gained some momentum midway through the second as they killed off a minute-long 5-on-3 power play, but were unable to take advantage.The Red Wine put the game away late in the second, with a pair of goals 76 seconds apart, as Méliana Rag and Anne-Marie Deshar- nais both took advantage of pressure around Bishop's goaltender Katie Booth, who was making her first start of the season.\u201cWe got some bad bounces,\u201d said Maryse Richard, the Bears\u2019 head coach.\u201cWe tended to

But again, I've learned to deal with it and show genuine surprise coupled with sincere gratitude.I'm not going to start spending more to match what I think they're giving each year; that\u2019s just silly.I prefer to be thankful for their gift than to focus on the fact that they spent more.I shouldn\u2019t feel guilty for following rules that were preset.(Sara Noel is the owner of Frugal Village (www.frugalvil- lage.com), a website that offers practical, money-saving strategies for everyday living.To send tips, comments or questions, write to Sara Noel, c/o Universal Uclick, 1130 Walnut Street, Kansas City, MO, 64106, or email sara@frugalvillage.com.)

AYA The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com - .NY eh vm as FRIDAY, FEBRUARY |, 2013 Page 11 There was no way I could bring her along for dinner, and I refused to leave her alone for the holiday FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2013 Dear Annie: Two years ago, my son\u2019s fiancee recommended we rotate who hosts Christmas dinner.That year, she and my son went to her mom\u2019s house, and last year they were supposed to come to mine.Instead, they went to her mom\u2019s again and were upset that I didn\u2019t want to tag along.Annie, at the time, my 73-year-old mother was in a rehab facility.There was no way I could bring her along for dinner, and I refused to leave her alone for the holiday.A week before Christmas, my future daughter-in-law sent me a text asking me to reconsider.I again said no.She accidentally texted me instead of my son and said, \u201cYour mom is a nasty liar.\u201d I was dumbfounded.I immediately got another text saying, \u201cI'm sorry, but my feelings are hurt.\u201d I forwarded both of these to my son, who said he was at work and didn\u2019t have time to deal with this.Right after the holiday, my mother fell and broke her hip.She ended up needing two surgeries.She refused additional treatment, saying she\u2019d had enough.She went into hospice care and died a few days later.My son became angry with me, saying I deliberately shortened Mom's life by putting her into hospice.My son\u2019s fiancee still has not apologized for what she texted.Annie\u2019s Mailbox I haven't heard from either of them since.I am hurt and upset.I not only lost my mother, but it seems I've lost my son, as well.How do I handle this mess?My husband and I are both losing sleep.\u2014 Hurt Dear Hurt: Our condolences on the loss of your mother.Your son may be feeling guilty for pressuring you to abandon Grandma for his fiancee\u2019s Christmas dinner, not realizing how short her time was.It is not uncommon to deflect that by blaming someone else.And his fiancee may be encouraging his anger toward you because it gets her off the hook entirely.Please forgive them so you can work on your grieving process without this additional sadness.Keep the lines of communication open, and try to maintain a certain superficiality.We hope this will allow the relationship to move forward.Dear Annie: We are getting tired of people telling us that the use of capital letters in our emails means we are \u201cshouting\u201d at them.This idea should be tossed out.We are visually impaired and have friends who have glaucoma, eye cancer and developing cataracts or are post cataract surgery, and some of us have macular degeneration in various stages.We are blessed that we can still use our computers, but are unable to read the small print of most messages.We need and appreciate the larger capital letters.Please tell your readers to think outside the box before criticizing those of us with limited vision.\u2014 Windows to the Soul Dear Windows: We are sympathetic to your plight, but using all caps looks like shouting to most people.Of course, if that\u2019s the only way you can see the type, by all means continue.However, please know that there are other ways to increase the type size.Try holding CTRL while pressing the plus sign or rolling your mouse wheel forward.Or hit \u201creply,\u201d and then highlight the text and increase the font size.Your browser may offer other options in the manual or online.Dear Annie: Please tell \u201cNo Name, No Location\u201d to get in touch with a local Cub Scout or Boy Scout troop for help shoveling snow or cutting their grass.Both groups of scouts are required to perform community service.When I was a Cubmaster, we organized kids to rake leaves for some elderly residents.Paying it back by volunteering is a win-win.\u2014 Problem Solved Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.OO NT0 A great day -

Arkansas for 30 years and the longest serving chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said, \u201cWe must dare to think \u2018unthinkable\u2019 thoughts.We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us.\u201d That certainly applies to bridge players.In today\u2019s deal, look at the North and East hands.South is in four hearts.West leads the club nine: three, ace, jack.How should East plan the defense?North\u2019s two-diamond response was a transfer bid, showing five or more hearts.South\u2019s jump to three hearts, a superaccept, promised a maximum with four hearts and a doubleton somewhere.Bridge is full of little ditties that were designed to help the less capable players.Here, many Easts will think of \u201creturn partner\u2019s lead.\u201d Yesterday we learned that playing a club back at trick two is not necessarily fatal.A crafty South will win that trick and cash his third club, discarding a spade from the dummy before taking the heart finesse.But the defense can still triumph.However, at trick one, East should analyze his partner\u2019s lead.It must be top of nothing.So why continue clubs?It cannot help.Instead, East should shift to a spade or diamond, and given.the dummy, a spade seems the nat ural choice.: South does best to win.with his ace and cash his two clubs, discarding a spade from the dummy.But East should note his partner\u2019s discouraging spade two.Then, when in with the heart king, East should cash the diamond ace and (seeing West's encouraging nine) continue with another diamond to defeat the contract.FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2013 Knowledge you gain in the year ahead will prove to be of enormous value.It is likely to be the thing that will tip the scales on a major venture.AQUARIUS

of the troop instead of as a self-appointed chief.Show others how to be an exemplary team player, and you\u2019ll come out ahead.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) \u2014 Something you possess, which could be knowledge, a product or a method, will be of more value to others than it is to you.You'll find a great market waiting for it.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) \u2014 This could be the perfect day for you to

selective about who you ask to help you complete a critical task.Avoid anybody who has a tendency of telling everybody else what to do and when.CANCER (June 21-July 22) \u2014 Your ability to judge
