won\u2019t impose mandatory vaccination on the education sector as the epidemiological situation is improving in the province and vaccination rates in the sector are high, the Health Department said Wednesday.In a news release, the department said 90 per cent of staff working in preschool, elementary and high schools are adequately vaccinated.In colleges and universities, 92 per cent of staff are adequately vaccinated.\u201cThe excellent vaccine coverage of the student population also helps make campuses safe environments,\u201d the department said.\u201cIn fact, 90 per cent of college students and 92 per cent of university students are adequately protected against COVID-19.\u201d While vaccination is recommended, it won\u2019t be made compulsory in the network.Quebec of?cials have been monitoring the pandemic situation since the return to school last month and said outbreaks in schools have been kept under control, with 234 outbreaks currently reported in education settings.Elementary school students in some regions are required to wear a medical- grade mask and rapid tests have been deployed across the province.Public health of?cials are also getting ready to vaccinate children aged ?ve to 11 once federal of?cials approve vaccination for GORDON LAMBIE By Gordon Lambie Local Journalism Initiative Just before press time on Wednesday, Radio Canada reported that one of the two workers left trapped by collapsed scaffolding inside of the Domtar plant in Windsor had been found dead.As of this writing there had been no con?rmation of the news from the company or emergency services on the scene.Prior to the announcement, emergency crews were at work throughout the day in an ongoing effort to rescue the workers who had been trapped since early Tuesday morning.There is no news so far on the condition of the other worker.In a press conference held just before noon outside the plant, Sherbrooke ?re chief and emergency measures coordinator Stéphane Simoneau explained that even though close to 36 hours had passed at that point since the initial collapse, rescue teams were not giving up hope.\u201cWe have no information on their condition, and I don\u2019t want to presume, but one thing I can say is that every effort is being made to get in there as fast as possible,\u201d Simoneau said, sharing that until they have con?rmation to the contrary, the teams were assuming the two workers to still be alive.Simoneau and his team were called in by the Windsor ?re department because of their specialization in enclosed spaces and recues at great heights.The coordinator explained that the operation is taking place in a silo that is approximately 200 feet tall and about 30 feet around, with only three small access ports.Scaffolding erected inside of the space for maintenance purposes partially collapsed, creating an unstable pile of debris partway down where it is believed that the two remaining workers are located.\u201cWe are close to certain of where they are, but we are not in visual or auditory contact,\u201d Simoneau said.While the coordinator recognized that the rescue was taking a long time, he explained that things need to proceed slowly out of respect for safety for both the trapped workers and the emergency crews.He shared that emergency teams were working non-stop, starting from the top of the silo, and securing and removing one piece of scaffolding at a time.\u201cThe priority is to not make the situation worse\u201d he said, calling the silo a \u201chouse of cards.\u201d Whereas the delay might lead some to assume the worst, Simoneau explained that the fact that the collapse CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 2 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1

SUNDAY: PERIODS OF RAIN HIGH 14 LOW 4 MONDAY: CLOUDY HIGH 9 LOW 0 A snow bunny was once considered a young woman that went to the mountains to wear cute ski clothes, drink hot chocolate, and supposedly hit on the hot ski patrol boys.I was never any good at anything that involved the outdoors, but when I saw pictures of Glen Mountain today, my old snow bunny dreams all came back to me.I kept thinking back to a time when visions of faux fur boots and wearing a mod snow bunny white fur hat with \u201cbig pom pom balls\u201d was la piece de resistance.I visited Glen Mountain a few times in my teenage years, yet today I\u2019m still not sure why I even considered going there.I remember going on a Cowansville High School ?eld trip, and another outing with my friend Debbie Roffey\u2019s family.I had no idea what to expect from Glen Mountain, I really didn\u2019t.There are photographs in the Brome County Historical Society archives that show a few trees and ?elds of grazing cattle at the foot of the mountain\u2013 but none of these photos were the reality of what that mountain really was.I was not then, and have never been, a skier and that beginner slope was downright scary unless I was on a toboggan.I really tried to learn to snowplow on the bunny hill.No matter how hard I tried I couldn\u2019t even do that, so I spent most of my time in the chalet looking at that big 1,000 ft.vertical drop staring back at me through the front door windows.I remember seriously debating about taking a journey on one of the two t-bars that went up to mid-station and the other from mid to the top.Every hour I stood in line, and when the time came for me to go up I muttered something about needing something from the ski shop and went back to the chalet.Word in the valley was that \u2018a blizzard of action and an avalanche of fun\u2019 would be available to anyone who aspired to be a Glen Mountain snow bunny.Seventeen Magazine insisted that the best way to hunt \u201ca keeper\u201d was on skis\u2013although at age 14 I would have been content with a ?rst kiss while some young chap tied up the bindings on my skis.They say that skis are the ultimate transportation to freedom.I beg to differ, and that was another issue that drove me crazy.Debbie had these spiffy Rossignol skis while mine were a pair my dad picked up at the Canadian Tire store in Cowansville.I immediately blamed my lack of expertise on those skis, but even when the mountain lights came on at the end of the day, I still hadn\u2019t made it up to the top\u2013or the middle.Each time I glanced out the door of the chalet I envisioned myself coming down that hill at 100 miles an hour screaming \u201cwhere are the brakes?\u201d Nothing like healthy outdoor exercise at 10 below when your nose is running, and your face is full of fear.When I got home from those ski trips my friends asked if I had a good time.But, when it comes to skiing, there is a difference in what you think it\u2019s going to be like, and what it\u2019s really like, and what you are going to tell your friends.I never did go back to Glen Mountain after the ski trip with the Roffeys.Instead, I used those Canadian Tire Skis on the slight downhill of Miltimore Road in Bromont.Each time I would go down the snow- covered dirt road I would scream at my neighbours Linda and Hank Avery that Nancy Green had nothing on me.I also concocted a story about breaking my leg skiing to anyone that asked me to go on a ski trip with them.For decades I have lied through my teeth and stuck to the story and today I am ?nally going to come clean.It was a lie- yes I admit it was a lie, to keep safety ?rst for Linda, and trust me I will have no regrets about this tomorrow.Absolutely none! Bottom line is that Facebook and Twitter never existed then, so the world never found out\u2013 until today.As they say: \u201cMay your life someday be as good as you make it out to be on Facebook!\u201d Epilogue Mont Glen, which ?rst opened in 1960 and boasted a 350-metre vertical drop\u2014higher than every hill in the Laurentians except Tremblant\u2014had hard times through the 1990s because it lacked snow-making equipment and was heavily dependent on the snow gods to deliver ?uffy white ?akes all season long.Repeated seasons of poor snowfall and competition from neighbouring resorts caused the business to deteriorate in the 1990s.It ?nally closed in 2004.Lifts did run again for a few weekends a few years ago and the current owner of the property had hopes to transform it into a Private Ski Club, but that plan fell through in 2010 due to insurance costs.*Linda Knight Seccaspina never did ski again Horri?ed memories of Glen Mountain Linda Knight Seccaspina

the number of patients in intensive care remains steady at 66.The province said it vaccinated 10,021 people on Tuesday.Of the latest reported infections, 345 were among people who were either unvaccinated or who had only received a ?rst dose within the past two weeks.The province\u2019s public health institute said about 90.5 per cent of Quebecers aged 12 and older have received at least

travellers looking to return to Canada will be required to purchase a new pre-arrival molecular test in the U.S.There are some exceptions, though, most notably for children under ?ve years old.In yesterday\u2019s article \u201cPig farmers upset at latest Olymel restructuring\u201d, it was erroneously reported that the company intends to shut down the Princeville slaughtering plant.While there will be no more slaughter, the plant will remain open.The the operation will shift to butchering fresh meat products.The Record regrets this error and any confusion it may have caused.Correction By Michael Boriero Local Journalism Initiative The United States is set to lift its ban for non-essential travel on Nov.8, but there are still several health measures in place for Quebecers to consider before travelling across the border.The Record reached out to the U.S.Customs and Border Protection (CBP), however, a public affairs of?cer from the federal law enforcement agency said there are a few kinks to iron out before the border opens, mainly related to the entry process for land travel.The U.S.Embassy website provides some clari?cation, though, and notes that there will be more information from the CBP coming out in the following days.The embassy explains that on Nov.8 all land travellers must be fully vaccinated, and provide vaccine documentation.Meanwhile, airline passengers entering the U.S., ages two years old and older, \u201cmust provide a a negative COVID-19 viral test taken within three calendar days of travel.\u201d Travellers can also present documentation of having recovered from the virus 90 days prior to travel.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that starting on Nov.8, it will be mandatory for all non-citizen, non-immigrant air travellers to the U.S.\u201cto be full vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status\u201d before boarding a plane to the country.While the CBP organizes its border measures, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has already outlined what it will take to enter or return to Canada.According to a senior spokesperson for the CBSA, the country will maintain its current pandemic measures.Fully vaccinated travellers, whether by land or air, who are deemed eligible to enter Canada, and who meet speci?c criteria, are not mandated to quarantine or to complete a day-8 test.However even fully vaccinated travellers will be required to complete a COVID-19 test before entry, and the CBSA will not accept antigen tests.Travellers \u201cmust complete the mandatory pre-arrival molecular COVID-test,\u201d such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the Nucleic Acid Test (NAT), or the Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal ampli?cation (RT-LAMP).Travellers are \u201cresponsible for procuring their own pre-arrival test,\u201d and must submit this information, including digital proof of vaccination, using ArriveCAN within 72 hours before arriving in Canada.There can also be random mandatory on-arrival testing.The CBSA notes that there are no changes to the testing requirements for unvaccinated or partially vaccinated travellers.For short trips, under three days, across the border to the U.S., Canadians can take their \u201cpre-arrival molecular test before they leave Canada.\u201d However, once the test is older than 72 hours, travellers looking to return to Canada will be required to purchase a new pre-arrival molecular test in the U.S.There are some exceptions, though, most notably for children under ?ve years old.If a child is under the age of ?ve, they are exempt from pre-entry, arrival, and day-8 tests.Children can also avoid quarantine if their travel companions are fully vaccinated.The requirements change slightly for unvaccinated children under 12 years old.They are required to follow all of the testing and quarantine measures.They are subject to all of the tests, they cannot attend school, camp or daycare for 14 days, or large crowded settings, indoors or outdoors.And they cannot take public transportation.This changes, though, if they are \u201caccompanied by someone who quali?es for the fully vaccinated traveller exemption.\u201d Unvaccinated youth between 12 and 17 years old don\u2019t qualify for this exemption, and must comply with all testing and quarantine requirements.The CBSA spokesperson also added that, for anyone considering travel to the U.S.on Nov.8, the Government of Canada website is extensive and provides \u201cmore details on the current measures in place.\u201d Canadians are encouraged to consult the return process on the website.According to the CBSA, a strong starting point is to visit the https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/

Journalism Initiative Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\u2019s new cabinet was announced and sworn in Oct.26 in Ottawa.Trudeau celebrated a continued commitment to gender parity naming a 39-member cabinet including himself plus 14 woman and 14 men.This new cabinet represents a signi?cant shake-up as Trudeau returns for a third mandate at the helm of a minority government.New ministers and veterans

Francophonie in 2015.L\u2019Union des producteurs agricoles released a statement welcoming Bibeau\u2019s return.\u201cMs.Bibeau is a valued interlocutor for Quebec farmers.Her attentiveness and availability have greatly facilitated matters over the past two years, particularly during the health crisis.I am con?dent that her knowledge of the issues will enable the Canadian government to respond quickly to the many challenges facing the agricultural sector and we look forward to continuing to work with her,\u201d said UPA President Marcel Groleau.Pascale St-Onge, MP for Brome\u2014 Missisquoi, was narrowly elected by just 186 votes this October.Tuesday, the ?rst-time MP joined cabinet as Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec.\u201cIt will be an immense pleasure and an extraordinary challenge to work with all my colleagues, the department, as well as the many stakeholders in Quebec and across the country to implement a green, feminist and inclusive recovery and to promote safe and welcoming sport,\u201d St-Onge said of the news.The new Minister of Canadian Heritage Pablo Rodriguez also has ties to the region.Rodriguez graduated with a degree in business administration from the Université de Sherbrooke.Rodriguez is one of Trudeau\u2019s veteran MPs, ?rst elected to parliament in 2004, He

action to beat the pandemic and get the job done on the vaccine rollout, the government will keep putting Canadians ?rst and delivering on their priorities.We will create new jobs and grow the middle class, put home ownership back in reach for Canadians, accelerate our ?ght against climate change, deliver on $10-a-day child care, and walk the shared path of reconciliation,\u201d said Trudeau.The new cabinet includes 16 members from Ontario, 11 from Quebec, 4 from British Colombia, 2 each from New Brunswick and Newfoundland, and 1 each from Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward

pet: Cammie Sweet Cammie is a gentle young cat and although she is a little slow to trust, her genuinely sweet demeanour makes it hard not to love her.Adapting to the hustle and bustle of shelter living can be dif?cult even for the more outgoing and social cats, so for a timid cat like Cammie, it can take a little more time to settle into the daily routine.She\u2019s trying though, and in the short time she\u2019s been with us, she has made wonderful progress.Cammie now comes to us in search of some attention and pets.What Cammie needs is a quiet home with a cat loving adopter who understands that she will need a little time to settle in and feel secure.Given how far she has come at the shelter, we have every reason to believe that in a calmer and more stable environment, she will ?ourish.If you can open your home and your heart to this shy and sensitive girl, we know she\u2019ll be a grateful and loving companion.At approximately 1-2 years of age, Cammie is still young and she is looking forward to a quiet and happy life as a pampered pet.If you would like to learn more about Cammie, you can contact us by email at frontieranimalsociety@ gmail.com or better yet, give

good idea I\u2019ve been giving a lot of thought recently to getting a paper route.With in?ation running at about four percent and my government pension plan crawling along at about two, I\u2019m in danger of having to cut back on my daily sustenance and food as well.It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t have prior experience.My ?rst paper route was delivering the St.Catharines Standard at the age of eleven.At the time, I was living in Stamford Township, now part of Niagara Falls, and the Standard was the choice of very few.Most readers opted for the Niagara Falls Evening Review but Review routes were a prized commodity and hard to get.My route consisted of eighteen papers spread over an area about the size of Prince Edward Island, or so it seemed.In the good weather I could hop on my bike, paper bag over my shoulder and do the whole thing in about forty-?ve minutes.When it snowed it was a long slog.For this I received the princely sum of $1.80 per week.Actually, I didn\u2019t see that much in spendable cash since my father insisted I open a bank account and do some serious saving.My ?rst week\u2019s revenue in hand, or in this case pocket, he marched me down to the local branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada to open an account.The manager at the time was Mr.Manzer \u2013 the father of two of my school chums \u2013 and he arranged the signing of the necessary papers.After that he took me on a personal tour of the bank including the vault where he pointed out the exact spot my cash would lay.Each week I would deposit $1 in the bank and fritter away the other 80 cents.The only thing that saved me was my hidden stash of tips which varied from 5 cents to the occasional dime in wealthier neighbourhoods.Finally, two years later, I got the much desired Niagara Falls Evening Review route.It consisted of 126 papers over an area half the size of my previous hike.Each afternoon after school I would fold the papers into throwable rolls, pack them into my paper bags (I now had two bags for better balance) and cycle off - at least before winter.When the snow fell it was like Napoleon\u2019s invasion of Russia; march or die.Actually, most days were ?ne even when winter became ugly.The one unavoidable crisis came each year on Niagara Falls Day when the normal twenty-?ve-page paper became a sixty- page monster.It was time to drag out the toboggan and conscript my younger brother as assistant delivery boy.Eventually, after being properly trained under my vigilant eye, he took over the whole route and I moved on.This all came back to me the other day when I notice an ad in The Record urgently seeking someone to deliver papers in my neighbourhood.Over the last few years we\u2019ve gone through at least four paper boys and one paper girl and here was the solution staring me in the face Why don\u2019t I do it?When I made the suggestion to She Who Must Be Obeyed I was met with a snort of derision.\u201cAfter all,\u201d I reasoned, \u201cI\u2019m already up to walk the dog.It would just mean a slightly longer walk and carrying a few papers.I could probably interest some of my friends to split the route.At least we\u2019d get our paper before breakfast\u201d The snort morphed into outright laughter.\u201cWho else do you know that wants to get up at 5:30?Who would end up delivering the papers if you got sick?And it\u2019s just thirty-?ve papers.You wouldn\u2019t get enough money to pay for the gas.\u201d I guess being a delivery boy is one of those things Lord Merlynn was speaking about when he wrote: \u201cYou move on, for everything changes, And you can never go home again\u201d or deliver papers for that matter.Tim Belford DEAR EDITOR : I read with great interest the review of the book \u201cPeacekeeper\u2019s Daughter,\u201d by Tanya Bellehumeur-Allatt, for two reasons.One, my recently deceased sister, Frances Hayter, was married to an army of?cer, Brig.Gen.John Charles Hayter (Ret.).They lived for many years in Europe, and various places in Canada; his ?nal posting before retiring from the military was Yellowknife.The other is that their sons (two now deceased, two still alive), went everywhere with them.One grandson has only recently returned from many years in Europe, and plans to remain in Canada forever now.Only one did my sister not accompany her husband, the reason being the imminent arrival of child number four, another boy, who made in adulthood a sterling career in the RCAF.He was born in Picton, Ontario, a marvellous person, who sadly passed away whilst waiting for a liver transplant just before Christmas three years ago.Both my sister and her children easily adapted to the frequent moves and great adventures.On a more personal note, my eldest son, Mark William Emanuel, is a civil engineer, who has owned a consulting ?rm (Spratt Emanuel Engineering) in Vancouver for over 20 years, bought from Gordon Spratt who trained at McGill.Mark trained at Queen\u2019s, in Kingston, Ontario.For two summers he was lucky enough to bag positions in overseas countries.The ?rst was Lebanon, where he had rooms at the American University.One morning I received a phone call from our diplomatic representative in Lebanon.\u201cMrs.Louise Emanuel?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cDo you have a son presently in Lebanon?\u201d \u201cYes, I do.\u201d \u201cHis name please, full name.\u201d \u201cMark William Emanuel.\u201d \u201cFather\u2019s name?\u201d \u201cDr.Elliott Emanuel.\u201d \u201cRight, Mrs.Emanuel.We want you to know that your son is in a safe place for now, and we will keep him here till we can get him on an aircraft to Athens.If there are problems you will be noti?ed, but the next call you receive should be from Mark, from Athens.Do you understand?\u201d \u201cYes, sir, I do, thank you.\u201d So, I hadn\u2019t had time to listen to the news that day \u2013 quite a time difference between Lebanon and Canada, to put it mildly.That was certainly a wake-up call to remember.LOUISE (WRIGHT) EMANUEL LAC BROME PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL

returning for its 39th edition at the Complexe sportif Thibault GM with three high-level matchups to kick off the international tournament on Nov.3.There are 42 teams in this year\u2019s edition, and they are all vying for top honours in the U15-AAA, U15- AAA relève and U15-AA categories.However, Mario Roy, president of the tournament\u2019s organizing committee, said the tournament will only feature teams from Quebec.According to the president, given the current situation, and the requirements needed to travel across the border, it made more sense to focus on provincial teams.The organizing committee is, however, working on next year\u2019s edition to welcome teams outside Quebec.Every participating team will play three games, with the third game turning into an elimination scenario.If a team loses that game, they are out of the tournament.Roy also noted that the tournament is free admission for everyone.\u201cThe whole family will be able to ?ll the bleachers of our arenas to come and cheer on our young ?eld hockey players,\u201d he said, adding that he expects every game to bring spectators to their feet.The tournament will take place mainly at the Complexe sportif Thibault GM, as well as a few games the Centre Julien-Ducharme.Health and safety measures will be applied during the event, including the presentation of a vaccination passport and a piece of identi?cation.The organizing committee is still looking for volunteers, though, and they are asking anyone interesting to contact tibs@hockeysherbrooke.qc.ca.The committee will reach out as soon as possible, if a person is serious about volunteering their time.This year\u2019s TIBS edition is also special because it will honour one of the tournament builders, Gaétan Fortier, who passed away in October.He was the tournament president from 1987 to 1999 and he brought the tournament to an unprecedented level.There will be a ceremony before the ?rst puck drop on Nov.3 at 7:30 p.m.to honour Fortier and his family.His daughter, Geneviève, will be there to represent her father.Fortier was one of the people responsible for the creation of the Fonds du sport et du loisir sherbrookois.\u201cThe involvement and the legacy left by Gaétan Fortier are great,\u201d said Roy.\u201cHe took over the tournament at the last minute in 1987 to make it a major holiday event with teams from several countries.Our committee wants to pay tribute to this builder in a beautiful way.\u201d While the TIBS kicks off tournament season in the region, the Novice-O-Rama is also set to return in the new year for its 41st edition in Sherbrooke.According to a press release, the organizing committee is preparing for the arrival of hundreds of people from across Quebec.Steve Grimard, president of the Novice-O-Rama organizing committee, has noted that this year will be a challenge due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic health and safety measures.The committee is currently accepting registrations for the tournament.The committee also added that the tournament is competitive, regardless of level, and it will take place at the Centre Julien-Ducharme.The ?rst weekend of the tournament will begin on Jan.6, 2022, and the second weekend on Jan.13.Two local hockey tournaments return to Sherbrooke ARCHIVE PHOTO BY MICHAEL INNES Steve Grimard, president of the Novice-O- Rama

its author.\u201d A good trump split often makes life easy for the deal\u2019s hero, the declarer; but a bad split tells us the truth about the declarer\u2019s skill level.In today\u2019s deal, how should South play in four spades?West leads the club ace, under which East plays the queen, showing the jack as well.(Here, he could not have a singleton.) West continues with the club king and another club.South\u2019s two-club opening was strong, arti?cial and forcing.North\u2019s three-club rebid was the double negative showing a very bad hand.Regardless, South wasn\u2019t going to stay out of game with one of the best hands he had ever held.\u201cI did warn you, partner,\u201d said the dummy as he tabled his cards.After ruf?ng the third club, the declarer could have entered the dummy and taken a trump ?nesse, but he saw that there was little advantage in this play.It would be of bene?t only if East had king-doubleton.A greater risk was a bad trump break.South led the spade queen from his hand at trick four.If East had won with his king and played his last club, declarer would have ruffed with dummy\u2019s spade eight.Therefore, East ducked.But now South entered the dummy with a heart to the jack and took a trump ?nesse.When it won, he cashed the spade ace.The king didn\u2019t drop, but declarer claimed, stating that he would play his red-suit winners until East opted to ruff.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 10 Thursday, October 28, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Go grocery sho pping with diet itians.When you choo se products with the Health Chec k symbol, it's like shopping with t he Heart and Str oke Foundation\u2019s die titians, who eval uate every partic ipating product b ased on Canada 's Food Guide.www.healthche ck.org REALITY CHECK HERMAN ALLEY OOP ARLO & JANIS THE BORN LOSER FRANK AND ERNEST GRIZZWELLS THATABABY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday, October 28, 2021 Page 11 Call Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: classad@sherbrookerecord.com or Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 a.m.and noon CLASSIFIED Deadline: 12:30 p.m.one day prior to publication Or mail your prepaid classi?ed ads to The Record, 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities Job Opportunity Part-time Circulation Clerk The Record has an opening for a part-time clerk in the circulation department.The successful candidate would be responsible for preparing address labels, updating subscription lists, contacting subscribers and newspaper dealers, and assisting rEADErs In sEttInG up tHE pApEr\u2019s onlInE edition.The candidate would be responsible for handling delivery issues and dealing directly with subscribers so should have a courteous telephone manner and excellent customer service skills.The circulation clerk should be comfortable learning new computer programs, but would be trained in all aspects of subscription software.Those interested should contact Sharon McCully, Publisher, at outletjournal@sympatico.ca or by telephone at 819-569-9511 TOWNSHIPS\u2019 CRIER TOWNSHIPS If you want to drink, that\u2019s your business.If you want to stop, we can help.Call Alcoholics Anonymous 1-888-424-2975, www.aa.orgRICHMOND The Richmond-Melbourne United Church at 247 Principale Sud, Richmond, will be holding a Rummage Sale on Saturday, October 30 from 9 a.m.until 1 p.m.There will be something for everyone, so come ahead!
