ROSS MURRAY y 16-year-old was watching a \\Y on her tablet.I hovered over her shoulder until the scene ended in a surge of hip-hop.It was something by, I don\u2019t know, L'il Change Purse or Jimmy Jimmy Jam Jam, a tune with, as the kids say, a sick beat.It was lit.It was AF as heck.So naturally, I had to bust some moves.I busted all the moves.I busted so many moves I needed a broom.\u201cStop! Stop!\u201d My daughter shouted.\u201cYou're embarrassing everyone!\u201d The funny thing is, I get it.I know exactly what she means, because sometimes I feel like I'm a teenager and Canada is my dad.I felt this way when I gazed into the zeitgeist of Twitter Monday and witnessed a clip of Shania Twain being towed into a snowed-in Grey Cup half time show aboard a dog sled in sparkly pink long-johns escorted by Mounties.Oh, Canada.Let\u2019s break that down in order of embarrassment.The Grey Cup is a football game.Some Canadians like football.Most would rather the NFL, but there may be a few who prefer the CFL, the type of people who unironically suggest Sudbury as a vacation spot and who actually measure things in centimetres.But let\u2019s not pretend the Grey Cup is Canada\u2019s Super Bowl.It\u2019s more like [7 THANKS FOR LETTING ME.SLEEP IN HERE, CRANIA! Canada\u2019s Thing To Watch Because It\u2019s Sunday And I Haven\u2019t Put Snow Tires On Yet.The Super Bowl is a massive cultural exercise in excess; the Grey Cup is a pretty nice tradition.Super Bowl tickets cost on average $3000; Grey Cup tickets can be had if you R-R-Roll Up the R-R-Rim to Win.Yet the Grey Cup has aspirations of Super Bowldom.Consequently, since 1990, the Grey Cup has incorporated a halftime show.Burton Cummings has performed three times! He\u2019s the Up With People of Canada\u2019s signature football event.In 1996, the Super Bowl had Diana Ross.That same year, the Grey Cup had The Nylons, and if you remember The Nylons, then bless your soft-rock a cap- pella heart.But you know what?Music is music and a show is a show, so thank you, Luba, Trooper and free-trade imports The Black Eyed Peas for entertaining our cold Canadian souls, even if you foolishly do so with a 60% chance of flurries.And if there\u2019s an inherent lameness to it, a sort- of-but-not-quite American quality, I think that adequately speaks to the Canadian identity.But to take that Canadian identity and drive it into the snowbank, that\u2019s too much.The dog sled I can maybe get behind.(Get it?) It shouts, \u201cHey, look at me: Canadian!\u201d It\u2019s the unicycle of Canadian transportation.But in this scenario, with snow covering the field, it was actually a viable means of conveyance.I cringed but gave it a pass.However, when Shania dismounted the sled in her sparkling pink onesie and was escorted to the stage by Mounties in red serge, that\u2019s when the show went over the CanCon falls (the Horseshoe Falls, naturally).It\u2019s always bothered me when American pop culture has depicted Canadians as igloo-hugging hosers with funny accents or when the shorthand for \u201cCanadian\u201d is a Mountie on a horse.\u201cCanada is more than that!\u201d I yell at the TV.\u201cWe\u2019re a regionally diverse, politically complex people with a wide range of policing options.Also we don\u2019t say \u2018aboat,\u2019\u201d except for every single guy who announces the hockey games.\u201d No one complains, though, because Canadians feel so giddy whenever Canada is mentioned in even the worst American entertainment context.It\u2019s like getting noticed by the cool kids.In fact, Canada has recently become a cool kid, thanks to our sensitive PM and generally not being a horrible country.We\u2019re cool without the stereotypes.And then we pull off this stereotype- stuffed Grey Cup.We do this all the time.If we're not wallowing in our own stereotypes, we're rallying as a nation (well, non-Quebec nation) around the oddest things: when it\u2019s playoffs for our lone pro basketball and baseball teams (played by non-Cana- dians, except for that one guy); fretting over who will be the next anchor of \u201cThe National\u201d; contests on The Most Canadian Television Thing that end up being a kids\u2019 show with a mute dog and androgynous puppet; mourning for the end of The Tragically Hip, a rock band that was.okay, I guess.I mean, they're no Burton Cummings! \u201cNormalizing\u201d is the word of the day, and it feels like we go out of our way to normalize Canuckness - though if you're a Canadian who refers to yourself as a \u201cCanuck,\u201d please leave the room.It\u2019s all super embarrassing.Or it would be if it weren\u2019t for the fact that, like me boogieing down in front of my daughter, no one is actually paying attention.In fact, fretting about this stuff at all?So-0-0-0 Canadian!

Finally, sadness invaded my heart as I remembered her laughter, her positive energy, and her \u201cjoie de vivre\u201d, and all our childhood memories as well as our dreams for the future.How dare he take all that away from her?How dare he take her away from us?Losing a loved one is difficult to accept, but losing a loved one to a senseless, violent act is traumatic, because you know that someone deliberately decided to end that person\u2019s life.Nobody deserves a violent death.Rachelle didn\u2019t deserve this.To this day, it\u2019s difficult to accept, knowing that he is still out there, living a comfortable and successful life [e never forget the phone call that as a free man, while he robbed Rachelle of her life and her dreams.I wish I had good news or further developments to share on Rachelle\u2019s murder, but sadly I don\u2019t.It has already been ten years since Rachelle\u2019s death, and nothing has changed since June 29, 2007.Rachelle\u2019s murder is now a cold case (File number: SBK-070629-027).The Sureté du Québec is still searching for a very important witness: Raphiou Oumar Alpha Sow.Even though we know where he is, he still remains \u201cuntouchable\u201d due to the limitation of the judicial system and other international issues.I know disillusionment and frustration too well, for I have lived with them for ten years.We, her friends and family, will always remember Rachelle.We are still here and still wishing for closure and justice.Perhaps we are waiting for a miracle.I realize that nothing will bring Rachelle back; however, my hope is that Rachelle\u2019s death has a bigger purpose in this life: to build awareness and prevent future victims of conjugal violence.If justice doesn\u2019t prevail, I hope that people will learn from Rachelle\u2019s story.When a relationship doesn\u2019t feel right, trust your instinct; listen to that inner voice that tells you something is off.Abusive relationships can end very badly.Trust me, these things don\u2019t only happen to strangers on the evening news, or to women in foreign countries, or to fictional characters in Hollywood movies.Unfortunately, these things happen in real life, in our own homes, to our mothers, sisters and daughters, and even to our best friends.I know because it happened to my best friend.Rachelle, I will never forget you.HELP & RESOURCES CAVAC (Crime Victims Assistance Centre) 819 820-2822 info@cavacestrie.com http:/[www.cavac.qc.ca Sercovie holds craft show and sale Record Staff SHERBROOKE Christmas Market and Craft Show by the \"Agile Hands\" group this Saturday and Sunday December 2 and 3 from 10a.m.to 4p.m.The show and sale provides an excellent opportunity to purchase locally produced handmade items for Christmas gifts, including woolen socks , mittens, tuques, scarves, children's knitwear, as well as jewelry, Christmas cards, an wa- Te Sercovie 50+ centre is hosting a tercolor paintings.Sercovie is a community organization encouraging a healthy, active, and enriching lifestyle for those over 50 through recreation and volunteering activities.It also encourages autonomy for seniors and those with limited abilities through its Meals in Wheels program.Admission to the Craft show and sale is free.Sercovie (Service communautaire a la vie) is located next to Saint-Jean Baptiste Church at 300 Conseil St.in Sherbrooke.THE RECORD Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter!

going to marry Kate Middleton, a school chum from the University of St.Andrew\u2019s, nobody batted an eye.When Harry weds Meagan TiM BELFORD at\u2019s with all the hoopla over the announcement of Henry Windsor\u2019s engagement to onetime actress Meghan Markle?With the exception of the twenty million delusional young women world-wide that were hoping against hope that they\u2019d snare the prince as their own, who actually cares?Personally I'd prefer if they\u2019d just elope and be done with it.Mind you, it\u2019s probably difficult to run off to Gretna Green in secret with two or three body guards in tow all the while being chased by three or four dozen camera-toting paparazzi.Still, it would save us all from another six months or more of articles, news flashes and sound bites describing every twist and step of the process as they march to the altar.To be fair, they\u2018ve started off on the right foot.First they had a very low-key press conference during which they themselves managed to appear a little overwhelmed by the fuss their impending nuptials are causing.They also announced they weren\u2019t going to do the deed in drafty old Westminster Abbey like Will and Kate did.Instead they are downsizing to the chapel at Windsor Castle which holds a mere 800.I'm sure there will be all kinds of difficulty trimming the guest list.Royal weddings have always received a lot of attention.Part of it revolved around the dynastic implications.Up until fairly recent times anyone in the family who had even a remote chance of becoming the next monarch had to have the reigning king or queen\u2019s permission to tie the knot.This was to prevent an unsuitable alliance with, a catholic, a divorcee, anyone of the wrong colour, a mental incompetent, a non-virgin or, heaven forbid, a commoner.As recently as the brief reign of Edward VIII, these restrictions ruled the day.When Eddie announced he was going to marry the twice divorced Wallis Warfield Simpson, a well-known socialite of questionable virtue who had captured his heart, the crown hit the fan.The upshot was that Edward abdicated in favour of his brother and he and Wallis lived happily ever after as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.They did, however, live anywhere but in Great Britain where the family, in the best royal tradition, had nothing to do with them.More recently Prince Charles was finagled into marrying Diana Spencer, the daughter of the Viscount Althorp who later became Earl Spencer.She was considered a perfect match being from a family as old as the Windsors and too young to have had a \u201cpast.\u201d We know how that turned out.Fortunately the times they are a changin\u2019 and upon Diana\u2019s death Charles was allowed to marry the person he loved, Camilla Parker Bowles, also from a good family but a divocee.They couldn\u2019t get married in a church, however, so they and a few hundred close friends snuck off to the local registry office.The next generation has opened the flood gates.When Prince William announced he was going to marry Kate Middleton, a school chum from the University of St.Andrew\u2019s, nobody batted an eye.Kate was beautiful, poised, talented and one of the dreaded common folk: not so much as a Duke, Earl, Baron or a Marquis in the entire family.Still, the British press can\u2019t let it die.Harry\u2019s bride to be, as they continually point out, is not only an American, an actress, a Roman Catholic and of mixed race, she is also a divorcee and three years older than the Prince.The point is, the royal family doesn\u2019t care.The Royal Crier who announced the engagement should have said \u201cHear ye, hear ye the Royal Family has finally come to its senses!\u201d All that remains now are the preparations and the couple have said they are going to do the planning themselves, helped, I am sure, by Kate\u2019s family who are in the event-planning business.What we do know is that Harry and Meghan will live in Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace and that the wedding won\u2019t be in April when Kate is due to have her third child and the Queen will be busy meeting with the Commonwealth

it.With one exception.Iras well.standing and delusion.again\u201d?Out of the Shadows are still wrestling with historical and current practices and attitudes towards the many visible and not so apparent differences between us.On a daily if not hourly basis we hear of all too common stories of racism, sexism, ageism.\u2018Ethnic cleansing\u2019, Gay bashing, religious, cultural and economic discrimination and sexual harassment all seem to pervade daily life at every turn.We have a long way to go to achieve even a semblance of the longed for \u201cJust Society\u201d but at least for now we're talking W= into the second decade of the 21st century we as a global society Still \u2018In the closet\u2019, still locked away, out of sight and mind is found one class of citizen continuing to

\u2018Psychologically The term \u201cMental Illness\u201d with its innumerable labels and sub-labels after all these centuries of what is commonly referred to as \u2018Modern\u2019 society seems to denote an all-inclusive agglomeration of diverse conditions and symptoms, too general and vague to be truly beneficial.\u201cPsychological Condition\u201d on the other hand differentiates the cognitive functions from the emotional, social, spiritual and physical, of which we are all composed of Each and every one of us are, at any given moment, a complex combination of many aspects, attitudes, perspectives and perceptions.None of us, individually are omniscient.Everyone of us believe certain things unique to our understandings and \u2018see\u2019 things in a certain light from a vantage point distinctly our own.So it would not be a stretch to assume that both you and I have at least one or two notions and assumptions about ourselves or the world around us that if scrutinized and investigated more closely would turn out to be inaccurate at best, mistaken, or blatantly erroneous, on the far end of the scale.They may be simple, harmless \u2018superstitions,\u2019 so to speak, or a weak knowledge of the laws of physics resulting in tragic automobile accidents.Some may have more mistaken understandings than others but there is a fine yet poorly defined line between

an abusive partner when they say that was the \u201cvery last time.it will never happen Why then do we, society or the system, leave the masses of diagnosed and undiagnosed victims of psychological

Winter Clothing Sale in collaboration with Stanstead\u2019s youth centre, Le Lounge.Every year, youth who participate in the Lounge and Phelps come together for this student-led fundraiser.This year, we have extended the range of items for sale to include not only coats, but all types of winter clothing: hats, scarves, mitts, snow pants and boots.The students will also be selling bracelets and Christmas cards that they\u2019ve made, as well as delicious cookies and hot chocolate.We have received a number of quality brand-name coats that we will be selling at a low cost, as FRONTIER ANIMAL SOCIETY well as some older quirkier coats that may be excellent additions to a school\u2019s drama department costume collection.With the money raised, the Lounge would like to purchase a flag-football kit and Phelps would like to invest in several ipad chargers for students who do their homework on their ipads.Come stop by 272 rue Dufferin in Stanstead this Saturday and you may find the perfect little gift for a niece or nephew, or find the coat or scarf you've been looking for.Thank you in advance for supporting this local fundraiser!

from a Vincent Lampron point-shot that was initially tipped by Félix Robert \u2014 just outside the crease at 15:56.Despite outshooting the Tigres, mistakes late in the first period and early in the second saw Sherbrooke fall behind 3- 1.Victoriaville forward Jimmy Huntign- ton, with an assist from Vitalli Abramov behind the net, scored at 19:41.After the intermission Maxime Comtois netted his 15th goal of the season with assists from Harwell and Huntington just 55 seconds into the second.The two-goal lead for the Tigres was T= Sherbrooke Phoenix were look- short-lived because \u2014 Phoenix assistant captain and reigning QMJHL player of the week -

Russian superstar and Columbus Bluejackets third-round pick - Vitalli Abramov ended the game when he crossed through the slot with the puck and picked the corner with a quick snapshot on Evan Fitzpatrick.The OT game winner was Abramov\u2019s first goal as a member of the Tigres.In six games with Victoriaville, the former Gatineau Olympiques has 9 points already (1G, 8A).Sherbrooke\u2019s special teams were un- + -

Lunches with a controlled wite THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2017 Dear Annie: I am concerned about one of my friends, \u201cAmanda.\u201d She and I are both middle-aged housewives with only part-time jobs.For the past six months or so, we\u2019ve been having lunch together once a week.Amanda comes from a much more repressed background than I do.She was raised to believe that wives should be submissive to their husbands, etc.Our weekly lunch is in a restaurant that\u2019s located inside a supermarket.I like the food there.Amanda used to say she liked the location because when her husband asked about her day, she could truthfully tell him she had only gone to the grocery.She said it would take time for her to let him know about having a new friend.Amanda has complained about her controlling husband.She told me he checks her phone and email all the time.However, she has such an upbeat, happy disposition, I thought she was exaggerating.About a month ago, she told me that since she\u2019s gotten to know me, she\u2019s had the courage to speak up to her husband about some things for the very first time, and it has led to some positive changes in their marriage.The next week, Amanda\u2019s husband just showed up with her at our lunch.I welcomed meeting him because I knew he could see that I'm a straight woman who poses no threat.Since then, however, he has come with her every week.He owns his own business, so he must have Dear Annie rearranged his whole schedule to lunch with us! He sits with us but doesn\u2019t say much.He mostly plays with his phone.Of course, my conversation with Amanda is quite different with him sitting there.This whole thing seems weird to me.I'm afraid that if I were to say much, our lunches would end altogether.Do you have any suggestions?\u2014 Silenced in the Supermarket Dear Silenced: Though you might be limited in what you can say to Amanda, your mere presence speaks volumes.It tells her she\u2019s not alone \u2014 that someone cares.To someone in an abusive relationship, that\u2019s an invaluable message.And that\u2019s why the best thing you can do for Amanda right now is to continue attending these lunches and pretending her husband\u2019s presence is welcome.Any perceived rejection of him would be used to separate you from her.Call The National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233) for more guidance.Dear Annie: I certainly sympathize with \u201cConcerned Legionnaire\u2019s Wife.\u201d Many years ago, I attempted to sign up for an American Legion post but was told by a misinformed individual that women could not join the organization.Rather than judge the entire organization by the erroneous view of one individual, I found another American Legion post.Today I am the national commander of The American Legion, and that original post displays my official photograph with the words, \u201cShe could have belonged to this post.Remember, women are veterans too!\u201d Though I cannot speak about the specific allegations that \u201cConcerned Legionnaire\u2019s Wife\u201d mentioned, I would like to encourage her to report any malfeasance to her state\u2019s American Legion headquarters.With 13,000 posts spread throughout the United States and even overseas, there will be some personality conflicts and irregularities in some areas.But I encourage people to visit our website, at https://www.legion.org, to learn about the many contributions offered by the 2 million men and women who make up the nation\u2019s largest veterans organization.Created in 1919 by a group of World War I veterans, The American Legion was founded on the pillars of veterans care, a strong national defense, Americanism and patriotic youth programs.Every day, our members support their communities by conducting blood drives, raising money for disaster assistance, welcoming home military troops, helping veterans obtain and understand their benefits, and operating the best youth programs in the country.It is an organization that America can be most proud of.For God and Country.\u2014 Denise H.Rohan Dear Commander Rohan: The behavior \u201cConcerned Legionnaire\u2019s Wife\u201d described might have taken place at an American Legion post, but it had nothing to do with The American Legion \u2014 a point your thoughtful letter hammers home.Thank you for all that you and the organization have done.Send your questions for Annie Lane to: dearannie@creators.com.p pressreader PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY O COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW RIGINAL COPY The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2017 Page 13 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.\u201cHU HK KFHC UWFU UWR ORXRDMYV WHMMK YBMHSR CRYFDUZRGU HK KB EFGSV UWFU HU WFK FG PGMHKURC GPZORD.\u201d \u2014 LFSA ORGGV Previous Solution: \u201cHollywood is wonderful.Anyone who doesn\u2019t like it is either crazy or sober.\u201d \u2014 Raymond Chandler TODAY'S CLUE: À spenbe y REALITY CHECK AND YOU NEED] 1 N ° A BRAIN AND LEED > | I NEED A HEART lo WHATS uP WITH THESE GUNSTP ©2017 UFS/Dist.by Andrews McMeel for UFS HERMAN HERMAN?11-30 © LaughingStock Licensing Inc., Dist.by Andrews McMeel Syndication for UFS, 2017 \u201c| can\u2019t stand the sight of blood.\u201d ALLEY OOP OKAY, MENTIS, NO MORE VY JOKES!
