increased by 1 per cent in Sherbrooke in 2016 compared to 2015 data.Offenses against children on the rise in Sherbrooke Record staff SHERBROOKE creased by 25 per cent in Sherbrooke in 2016, according to a Statistics Canada survey released Monday.Disturbingly, this increase is mainly due to the significant increase in sexual offenses committed against children.According to Stats Can analyst Samuel Perreault, there were 113 cases of child sexual abuse in 2016, compared to 56 in 2015 in Sherbrooke.In addition, Te Violent Crime Severity Index in- the increase in the number of homicides from one to two also accounts for this index increase.Sherbrooke is the Canadian city with the highest increases in violent crime, second only to Brantford, Ontario, whose index score rose 27 per cent, mainly due to an increase in homicides from one to four between 2015 and 2016.Although the overall crime rate remained stable in Canada in 2016, it increased by 2 per cent in Sherbrooke.In terms of the Crime Severity Index, it was on the rise for the second year in a row, Statistics Canada reports.This increase is attributable to an increase in cases of fraud.According to the federal agency, which compiles all police-reported crimes, the Crime Severity Index (CSI) increased by 1 per cent in Sherbrooke in 2016 compared to 2015 data.The CSI also increased in 2015 after having declined over the previous 11 years.The Crime Severity Index measures the volume and severity of crime reported to the police.The weight assigned to each offense is based on the incarceration rate and the average length of prison sentences.The sum of the weighted offenses is then divided by the population.In order to facilitate comparisons, the index was set at 100 for the reference year 2006.It therefore indicates whether the crimes were more or less severe than for the reference year.The federal agency is also seeing an increase in more serious crime outside Quebec, in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Newfoundland.Coke importer gets eight years Record staff SHERBROOKE Stéphane Boutin in Coaticook \"corresponds in all respects to the methods of organized crime,\u201d said police expert who prepared a report on the case of cocaine importation for which Boutin has been sentenced to eight years in prison in a Sherbrooke court.Boutin was intercepted at the Fast Hereford border crossing in April 2015.He was arrested by Border Services officers when he entered Canada when his visible nervousness led the officer to T= bundles of money seized from search his vehicle In June 2016, he admitted to importing 77 kilos of cocaine before Conrad Chapdelaine of the Court of Québec.The 52 securely-stored packages of cocaine were contained in three large bags with other items including maple flavored cotton candy.According to the expert report mandated in this case, the cocaine had a value ranging from $43,000 to $45,000 per kilo at the time of seizure for a conservative estimated worth of $3,311,000.According to report, \"the usual remuneration for transporting cocaine from the United States to Canada is $2,500 per kilogram, in this case a total of $192,500.\" This amount of cocaine is estimated to be worth about $120,000 per kilogram on the street, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.The analysis confirms that it is cocaine of purity varying between 64 and 80 per cent, which is considered low and suggests that the drug had been tampered with prior to its seizure.During a search at Boutin\u2019s residence following the seizure at the border, the police had found $20,000 in Canadian money in a freezer and $1,180 in a bedside table.The money was packed in bundles of 100 $20 bills of grouped together by elastics in the center, while the cluster was held together by elastics placed at the ends to form a stack.The use of rubber bands in those places, packet composition, and cuts indicate that this is the method usually used by organized crime.The $10,000 packages are compiled in order to facilitate the quick settlement of amounts during a transaction, \"said the report.Since Boutin has been detained since his arrest in 2015, the detention on remand has been severed, meaning that he will have to serve another 55 months in prison.\u2018Iwo arrested for drug-impaired driving Record staff SHERBROOKE Monday night for driving while impaired by drugs.The two were intercepted about thirty minutes apart early Tuesday morning.The first, an 18-year-old man, was ar- S herbrooke Police arrested two men rested at 1300 King St East at around 12:30 a.m., while the second is a 39-year old man whose erratic behavior attracted the attention of a patrol on King Street near Metcalfe.\"The police had reason to believe that they were driving with impaired capabilities,\" said Sherbrooke Police Service spokesperson Samuel Ducharme.The two men were brought to the police station where they were examined by an appraisal officer.\"All of our officers have been specifically trained to detect the symptoms of drug use while driving,\u201d Ducharme said.\u201cAt the station, the appraisal officer has expertise in assessing drug-related symptoms to submit as evidence for criminal charges.\" Arrested drivers are subjected to a questionnaire, coordination tests, a reaction to light test and had to provide a urine sample.\"Once the results are obtained, the file will be submitted to prosecutors for criminal prosecution,\" Ducharme concluded.Glen Villa CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 eventually serve as the gateway to trails all across the western ridge of the lake.\u201cOver the next five to six years there\u2019s going to be a 25 kilometre trail along that ridge,\u201d the chair said, explaining that the plan is for the initial three kilometer loop to be unveiled on the 20th of August to give way to a collection of trails that will provide an offering for hikers of all different skill levels.In order to build that network of trails, however, the foundation needs to raise a large amount of money through events like the garden tours.This year\u2019s tour has been organized a bit differently than the inaugural edition.Based on the popularity of last year\u2019s event, participation in this year\u2019s tour requires a reservation in advance but, according to Heyerhoff, the tour will take a different approach.Also, in order to boost the event\u2019s success as a fundraiser, the price has also gone up by $5 to $25 per person.Although the foundation and its conservation efforts will benefit from the event, the chair noted that it was and continues to be the initiative of the Websters.She expressed gratitude for the initiative and the support, explaining that projects like the Glen Villa tours are part of what makes the dream of conservation possible.\u201cIf development happened (on the forested lands) it would harm the lake as well as the mountains around it,\u201d Hey- erhoff said.More information about

softwood lumber agreement with Canada.Seven Democratic and Republican senators expressed their demands in a letter sent this week to U.S.Secretary of Te United States Senate finance Commerce Wilbur

newsroom(@sherbrookerecord.com The Record HDITORIAL Winston Blackmore and James Oler were both found guilty of practicing polygamy in a case that has dragged on for decades.Bells, both wedding and alarm MIKE McCDEVITT is a subject that frequently arises in democracies as, in most cases; the courts are the ultimate arbiters of the rules under which such societies are built.As a general principle, the courts are to be independent of the political process entirely and shielded from the pressures of public opinion so that the rules that govern public behaviour comply with the constitutional arrangements between government and citizens and that they are fairly and equitably applied.Tampering with its role and diminishing its independence represent fundamental challenges to the rule of law - the principle that no-one, regardless of rank or social status is above the law.Given their pivotal role, the courts are often the targets of rulers who resist the constraints placed upon them by the law and a first sign of a rising despotism is an assault on the integrity and powers of the judicial branch to force it into line with the ideology or agenda of the government in power.The need to impose restrictions on governments \u2014 democratically elected or not - is one that is rarely questioned in democratic societies, but is also one that can also lead to outcomes that many people find difficult to swallow.The recent uproar over the Liberal government\u2019s decision to finally bring to an end the legal repercussions from its decision to ignore and deny Omar Khadr the rights guaranteed him by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a fine example.That decision stems from a previous Supreme Court ruling that clearly and unequivocally declared the culpability of several Canadian govern- Li role of the Courts in civil society ments in the sordid case.The Court did not assign any specific remedial action other than to force an extremely reluctant Harper government to live up to its responsibilities.Final accommodation would be settled in a civil court.The Trudeau government decided to settle the case rather than to have the entire sordid story - which does no credit to Canada - re-hashed in a lengthy and embarrassing trial that would most likely have cost the government considerably more money and credibility.Although the Court\u2019s decision on the Khadr case was based precisely on principles to which most people can subscribe, the decision and the subsequent settlement caused a near-unanimous wave of outrage across the country with cries of \u2018rewarding terrorists\u2019 and \u2018what about the victim?\u2019 being echoed from coast to coast.The opposition Conservatives \u2014 quick to spot an opportunity - even took their bitterness over the settlement to American cable news networks in an attempt to, well, God knows what they were attempting to do.There is no doubt, however, that the outrage they expressed over the settlement is widely shared - despite the fact that it was clearly the wise, sensible and right thing to do.South of the border, the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary is being challenged quite directly as the new president is not only prepared to fight for his own interpretation of his Constitutional role but has even openly questioned the legitimacy of judicial

\u201ca president has hundreds of judicial appointments to fill and we can expect he Will do his best to ensure that his appointees are sympathetic to his point of view.The implications of that will far outlast the bombast.Here in Canada, a decision rendered by the British Columbia Supreme Court on Tuesday also threatens to drive a spike between the public and the courts With a case that could once again divide Canadians along deeply meaningful and personal lines.Winston Blackmore and James Oler were both found guilty of practicing polygamy in a case that has dragged on for decades.Both men are \u2018Bishops\u201d in a breakaway Mormon sect and openly admit to having several wives in accordance with the avowed practice of their faith.The case has attracted considerable public interest with tales of spousal abuse, child abuse, and sex trafficking but was argued as a case of religious freedom.In its judgment, the Court relied on Blackmore and Oler\u2019s open admission of the facts, but we can fully expect a constitutional challenge on the law itself.Recent decisions have had a profound impact on the legal implications of marriage and its applicability.When Black- more\u2019s legal struggles began, homosexual relationships were illegal and \u2018gay marriage\u2019 just a pipe dream.The legal age of consent was 14, and the legal rights and obligations between spouses were drastically different.Since then, both attitudes and the laws have changed and it is extremely likely that they will continue to do so.The kind of marital arrangements Blackmore (20 wives) and Oler (5) live under have all ostensibly been arranged consensually and, aside from the question of underage girls and intense communal pressure - there is no proof that their \u2018wives\u2019 are being held against their will.In addition, polyamorous relationships are becoming increasingly visible and are taking all kinds of forms.Why, they might argue, are those who follow their faith being persecuted when others merely following their urges are not.Of course, Blackmore and his Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are not the only ones who allow multiple marriages and while most of us aren\u2019t afraid of a bunch of apostate Mormons, many of us are afraid of Muslims and one can anticipate a considerable outcry should an attempt be made to legalize multiple marriages for that particular group.The question of the law\u2019s role in interpersonal relations is not a new one and recent social developments have not simplified the matter in any way.If we assume that the state has the right to decide what kind of commitments we are allowed to make, to whom, and how often, then the question of what principles should guide those decisions becomes paramount.Regardless of how it pans out, we can bet that someone is going to be seriously offended.Rule of Law is like that sometimes.Letters The Record welcomes your letters to the editor.Please

2014).Canadian swimmer Masse sets 100 metre backstroke record at world championships By Curtis Withers THE CANADIAN PRESS have pictured herself as a world champion and ecord holder.That all changed at the 2016 Rio Olympics.Still riding the momentum from the bronze medal she won at the 2016 Games, Masse roared to victory in the 100-metre backstroke in a world-record time Tuesday at the world swimming championships in Budapest, Hungary.In the process she became Canada's first ever woman world champion swimmer.Masse powered to the wall in a time of 58.10 seconds, edging the previous long-course backstroke record of 58.12 seconds set by British swimmer Gemma Spofforth at the 2009 world championships in Rome.\u201c \"I don't think it's really sunk in yet,\" Masse said in a conference call Tuesday.\"I touched the wall and looked back and had to make sure I was looking at the right name and the right time.I was just super excited.In the moment I don't even know what I was thinking but excitement and joy.\" It's been a lot of excitement and joy for Masse over the last year.She followed up her bronze in Rio with silver medals in the 100 backstroke and the 4x100 relay at the 2016 short-course world championships in Windsor, Ont., near her hometown of LaSalle before her record-breaking performance at Budapest's Duna Arena.While she said she and her coaches have been fine- tuning her technique _ she mentioned her starts and turns as key areas of focus _ Masse is quick to credit the 2016 Olympics as a turning point.It was a massive success for Canada's women's swim team which won six medals, including four by Toronto teen Penny Olek- siak, and was given The Canadian Press Team of the A round this time last year, Kylie Masse might not Pr LIL I EE NE SL EL) - - -

momentum, and showed we belong on the international stage,\" Masse said.The confidence generated from that medal haul allowed Masse to see herself as a champion.\" \"Definitely before the Olympics I wouldn't have thought that, but after the Olympics I saw that I belong in the final and I belong on the podium, and that all comes with confidence,\" Masse said.\"This entire year I felt better about my racing and that all helped leading up to the championships.\" Kathleen Baker of the United States was second in the 100 backstroke 58.58 seconds and Australia's Emily Seebohm was third in 59.59.Masse is the first Canadian to hold the 100-metre long-course backstroke record since Wendy Cook in 1974 and the first Canadian record holder in any discipline since Annamay Pierce set the 200-metre long- course breaststroke record in the semifinals of the 2009 championships.Earlier, American Katie Ledecky breezed to her third gold medal of the world championships, capturing the 1,500-metre freestyle by more than half the length of the pool on her most gruelling night of the meet.Ledecky touched in 15 minutes, 31.82 seconds _ more than six seconds off her world-record pace from championships in Kazan two years ago, but clearly conserving energy for her second race of the night.She only has a 49-minute break before returning to the pool for the semifinals of the 200 free.Having already won the 400 free and 4x100 free relay on the opening day of swimming, Ledecky stayed on course for a record-tying six golds by a female swimmer.This was one of the biggest locks of all, and the 20-year-old was essentially just racing herself as the rest of the field fell far behind.\"It's hard the other 364 days of the year,\" Ledecky said, barely breathing hard.\"It's putting the work in for practice, so when I get to this day of the meet, I can just do it.It's routine.Just get up and know that I have the work in the bank to get up and swim those times.\" Lilly King of the United States and Britain's Adam Peaty also broke world records Tuesday.King eclipsed the four-year-old mark in the 100- metre breaststroke, again beating Russian rival Yulia Efimova with a time of 1:04.13 seconds.The previous record of 1:04.35 was set by Lithuania's Ruta Meilutyte.Peaty set a pair of marks in the 50 breaststroke, a non-Olympic event.He went 26.10 in the morning preliminaries, shaving 0.32 seconds off the standard he set two years ago in Kazan.He went even faster during the evening semifinals, touching in 25.95.Five swimming world records have fallen in Bu- the P - -\u2014-

Thank you to all who supported us, and thanks to all of our volunteers.Have a great summer.Respectfully submitted, Mary LeChasseur High doses of pain relievers should be taken infrequently Ask the doctors By Robert Ashley, M.D.Dear Doctor: Which pain reliever is safer \u2014 acetaminophen, ibuprofen, celecoxib or naproxen?It seems as if they all carry some risks.Dear Reader: Pain is a symptom to which we can all relate.It\u2019s also an important indicator of possible injury within the body and should be acknowledged, not simply by taking medication, but also by understanding the cause of the pain.That said, one person\u2019s pain is different than another\u2019s, with some people needing greater pain relief.So, if you need a medication for pain, what should you use?Let\u2019s look first at acetaminophen (Tylenol).Acetaminophen has been used since 1955; it is available in multiple products, works well for pain, and is for the most part safe.However, at high doses \u2014 specifically, above 4,000 milligrams a day, or eight tablets of Extra Strength Tylenol \u2014 the medication can cause liver damage, or even death, especially in those who are malnourished, drink alcohol in excess or consistently take more than 4,000 mg per day.Age is also a factor, as those over 40 have a greater risk of liver failure and death after over-dosage.Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) has been used for pain since 1974.It is one of many medications classified as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID).NSAIDs work by inhibiting formation of mediators of pain and inflammation, and they're notably effective at decreasing inflammation in swollen joints related to arthritis.LW eA, Sara When Be Pcins Naproxen (Aleve) was first marketed in 1976 and works similarly to ibuprofen.But it has a longer half- life, giving it a longer-lasting effect.Both ibuprofen and naproxen decrease the formation of prostaglandins in the stomach.These chemicals produced by the body have hormonelike effects, protecting the stomach lining from acidity.The decrease of prostaglandins can injure the stomach lining, leading to stomach inflammation, ulcers and possibly severe bleeding.Celecoxib (Celebrex) is a more selective NSAID and does not decrease prostaglandins in the stomach.This translates into significantly less likelihood of creating ulcerations.All NSAIDs also reduce prostaglandins in the kidneys, which can lead to kidney injury.This injury becomes worse in people who have a history of chronic kidney disease, who are older, or who have congestive heart failure or cirrhosis.Lastly, the chronic use of high-dose NSAIDs has been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks.Celecoxib may have a slightly greater risk of this than ibuprofen and naproxen, but a recent New England Journal of Medicine study looking at those who used NSAIDs chronically for arthritis found no difference in cardiovascular events between celecoxib and either ibuprofen or naproxen.Of the drugs you listed, my feeling is that acetaminophen is the safest when used regularly.However, I would use acetaminophen at no higher doses than 4,000 mg per day and, if you were to use it regularly, I would recommend decreasing this amount to 2,000 to 3,000 mg per day.The NSAIDs \u2014 ibuprofen, naproxen and celecoxib \u2014 are needed by some who have inflammatory arthritis, and they are good medications in the short-term.I would caution against consistent long-term use, especially at high doses and especially if you have any history of heart disease.CANADIAN RED CROSS QUEBEC Make a donation or become a volunteer rinted and distributed by PressRea P der press [feleld PressReader.com + +1 604 278 4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 10 WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 2017 production(@)sherbrookerecord.com The Record CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present.Each letter in the cipher stands for another.CCLWJU,' ZNDUX XNPK N UWJ NX, N ZADMAX N JWU NE NX.XDCK.XAXWBBI ZADMAX, WEG MAX WU UYWDKG WU KSKDIHAGI KBUK.\u201d \u2014 DNYTWDG GDKIZCUU Previous Solution: \u201c| grew up watching sci-fi and .all those creepy old Vincent Price horror movies.\u201d \u2014 Jeff Goldblum TODAY'S CLUE: Asenba g REALITY CHECK ALLEY OOP irr | NEVER THOUGHT \\.:« SEE 2h I'D SAY THIS TYOU, /; 5 D à = > BUT THAT WAS $ x BRILLIANT, COP?ue.- al \u201d _ a es ol a es ©2017 UFS, Inc.- Disl.by Andrews McMeel Syndication for UFS oh ih, gt ry tele at Lee \u201827 IMAGINE?| CONTROL LEM Ÿ 3» NOW, AND | DIDN'T EVEN \u20ac HAVE TO BATTLE FOR IT! { AMAZING!

In the duplicate, though, 10 Souths passed over three clubs.Then, when North competed with three spades, they all passed again \u2014 bad evaluation.North-South can take an easy 11 tricks in spades or diamonds, losing two hearts.However, when one side has a double fit, so does the other.Five clubs is down only two, which is a good sacrifice over four spades.Across 1 Understand, in slang 5 Greek liqueur 9 Time-traveling TV character 14 Strauss of denim 15 Hair salon sound 16 Setting for much of \u201cMoana\u201d 17 Final bio 18 \u201cToo bad we have to throw out this uneaten food\u201d 20 Asian noodle dish 22 Bro kin 23 Earl Grey, e.g.24 Shrill barks 26 Word with room or center 28 Storied 31 They may need breaking in 36 Bitter-tasting 37 Sioux City state 38 Doing nothing \u2014 39 Small IOU 40 Muppet who loves this puzzle\u2019s four longest answers?41 Astronaut Armstrong 42 With perfection 43 Blueprint 44 Chevy muscle car 45 Condition caused by 31-Across, at times 47 Snake warnings 48 Darling of baseball 49 Holey kitchen gadget 51 Rooter for the Bulldogs 54 Bro or sis 56 Bennie\u2019s band, in an Elton John hit 60 Hurls competitive insults 63 D-Day beach 64 \u201cI swear!\u201d 65 Lotion additive 66 One of Emeril\u2019s New Orleans eateries 67 Test one\u2019s metal 68 Many a Punjabi 69 Was positive Down Zl» O|-|r|O mnIA|Z|\u2014 1 Yucky guck 2 First name in country music Z|H|O|O|> \u2014.im|Z|OIZ mim|®|S|>» 3 Roman poet exiled by D|M|Z|Z|C|J D|Z||D|T|O Augustus 4 Pet product also used r|>|DJA|Z MO O|=-|-| [T1 U|M|\u2014|QO|O|/® [T1 U O|OIX|U |ŒOIFTI|\u2014 (T1 for tire traction |D|T \u2014 D|/M||\u2014-|T/|/O||C 0|z|m|3|s B|A|P|U|O m|r|O|JO|M|D = |mjir|< m|m|-|>} Dm \u2014H|rr|O|® 13 Draft category 19 Conflict with planes 21 Listen to 25 Ski resort vehicles 27 Taiwan Strait vessel 28 Trivia quiz fodder 29 Blessing preceder 30 Prickly shrub 32 McGregor of TV\u2019s \u201cFargo\u201d 33 \u201cGolden Boy\u201d playwright 34 A-listers 35 Tennis great Monica 37 Iona, for one 40 Christmas encouragement 44 \u201c la France!\u201d 46 \u201cWoman in the Mists\u201d subject Dian 47 [Snicker] 50 \u201cThere, there\u201d 51 Sicilian World Heritage Site 52 Mekong River land 53 Misfortunes 55 Bikini tops 57 Kind of collar or jacket 58 Story 59 \u201cPygmalion\u201d playwright 61 Bicycle maker turned automotive giant 62 __ Baba 10 [11 12 |13 14 15 16 17 18 20 1 28 30 21 25 31 22 23 26 27 32 33 34 135 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 45 46 48 49 Ê | 51 53 54 55 60 61 62 47 50 | LJ 56 57 59 63 64 65 I\u201d 67 68 \u20ac 69 Printed and distributed by PressReader press {Jeff PressReader.com © +1604 278 4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW "]
