Robinson?Over the years, as the Eastern Townships was settled and as the population shifted, the names of many towns and villages have changed with time.Cowansville was once known as Nelsonville, Ayer’s Cliff as Ayer’s Flat (even earlier, it was Lang-maid’s Flat) and Bishopton was once Bishop’s Crossing.Also notably, up until the early 1900s, the town of Bury was known by the name of Robinson.The origins of Bury’s original name are still somewhat unclear, but it has been argued that it was first named Robinson in the 1830s after a gentleman who was working with the British American Land Company.The town of Robinson was founded in 1839 with the establishment of a post office by that name.Although the Township of Bury was officially opened for settlement in 1803, it was not until the British American Land Company became involved that settlers began to immigrate to the area.Lemuel Pope and Thomas Stokes were among the first settlers in what would become the village of Robinson.Both the Pope and Stokes families left their mark on the town’s industries through the establishment of sawmills, a general store, a carriage factory, etc.In the 1870s, the International Railway constructed a rail line through Robinson, which eventually became part of the Canadian Pacific Railway.The train station built at Robinson was known as the Bury station and it is be lieved that this was the beginning of the end for “Robinson”.By 1911, the town was officially renamed Bury.To reach Jody Robinson at the Archives department, call 819-822-9600, ext.2261.etrc2@ubishops.ca

the union members, the union vowed not to hold any demonstrations during the bigger summer events in Sherbrooke.Blue-collars appear ready for action By Doug McCooeye The troops are getting restless, says blue-collar workers union councillor Michel Murray in a recent report.Last Wednesday, a day after saying the union would give the City of Sherbrooke more time to look over its final collective agreement proposal, the blue collar union’s administrative council held a general assembly meeting to explain to its members why they pulled their strike threat yet again.Workers were set to launch a general unlimited strike on July 10, until the union called it off to submit a final counterproposal to the city.They had given the city until July 13 to give an answer, however after the city asked for more time the union said it would give them until “early next week” - meaning either today, Tuesday, or Wednesday -to give their response.Eagerly await “We had to calm the troops,” admitted Murray in a recent report.“Many of the union members do not have the patience of the union.” In the spring of 2010, the 463 union members voted 98 per cent in favor of launching a general unlimited strike at the opportune time.The union reps say there are three major points that have yet to be resolved: the level and type of protection for the workers against subcontracting, alterations to the collective assurance for temporary employees, and increases to the retroactive salary compensation.While Murray says there are seven other points up in the air, the union considers them secondary, and believes that they will be easily figured out once the three main points have been settled.In contrast, the city contends that the union included new demands in their final counterproposal, and therefore need to take the time to properly city response analyze it.The city has said it will make no more offers.The union has given them the time, but Murray finds it bizarre that the city can’t give a quicker response.“They said that (our offer) is difficult to analyze.With the (resources) they have at their disposal, it shouldn't take that long to analyze,” he said at a press conference last week.In an address to the media last week, the city’s head of human resources Jacques Leduc said that there are more than three main points that are unresolved and the city needs to do a deep analysis of the blue-collars submission.Thè city plans to consult with actuaries to see if the contract proposed by the union is viable.“It is only after this complete analy; sis, scheduled for the beginning of next week, that the City of Sherbrooke will be able to quantify the gap that actually separates the two parties,” reads a post- ing on the city-run blog devoted to the labour struggle.Despite the evident restlessness among the union members, the union vowed not to hold any demonstrations during the bigger summer events in Sherbrooke.As of this writing (Friday) no demonstrations were reported at La Fete du Lac des Nations.Tension remains high between the two sides.At last week’s press conference, Michel Murray said that the city has been creating unnecessary controversy, adding that it was time to figure things out and stop playing politics.“You can spread (dirt) on the wall all you want,” he said, “but at a certain point someone has to clean it up.” The blue-collar workers have been without a collective agreement since December 31, 2007 - a period of over threeand-a-half years.Tax agency includes Sherbrooke in contracts probe The City of Sherbrooke could be asked to open up its books.Today, the Canada Revenue Agency will file a request with the Federal Court of Canada to get orders that will force 146 Quebec municipalities to disclose all of their payments made to contractors and consultants over the last four years.The court orders will target all of the big cities in the province, save for Montreal, which underwent a similar probe last year after questions of corruption regarding the awarding of construction contracts arose.Observers believe today’s CRA request has similar motives.Places like Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Re-pentigny, Saguenay, and Quebec City are among the large urban cities that are joining Sherbrooke in the request.A total of 3.1 million people live in the cities affected by the court orders.According to the Globe and Mail, who first reported the CRA probe, a similar order was already obtained by the agency in June for 88 municipalities in and around the Eastern Townships.The CRA will be seeking irregularities regarding how municipal contracts are awarded.Authorities will look for undisclosed income by comparing all municipal wages (other than salaries) with declared revenues on contractors and consultants’ tax returns.Every year, $8 billion worth of municipal contracts are awarded in Quebec.Price jumps at Townships pumps Gas prices jumped as much as 10 cents in some service stations on Thursday in Sherbrooke, moving from 127.4 cents-a-litre to 137.4 cents-a-litre.The increase comes at a time when oil prices went down on the stock market.The reasons for the increase remain unknown.According to a price calculator on CAA-Québec’s Info Essence website, the re- alistic gas price for the Eastern Townships’ region is 132.4 cents-a-litre.The CAA-Québec website says that possible contributing factors to gas increases include but are not limited to changes in climate, customer demand, state of the global reserve and production, national refinery capacity, price of the American dollar, and geo-political tensions.Beaulieu Farms Cont’d from page 1 construction happening and we had thought of ways to work around it, but I never thought it would get this bad”.With the construction taking place at the intersection where the Beaulieu’s market is, lanes on the routes have been closed, generally causing traffic jams and now making people wary of travelling in that direction “last Monday and Tuesday the traffic jams were so bad, you can’t blame people for trying to avoid being stuck in that” said Beaulieu.What the proud farm owner did mention however, is something that he believes people aren’t aware of “construction actually stops on Friday afternoon for the duration of the weekend, so on weekends there is no construction and all of the lanes are open for circulation”.Beaulieu is set to speak with the Quebec Ministry of Transport this week to talk about possible solutions to the problem.“All of our vegetables are ready and we will lose them all if things continue to go the way they are right now” he said, adding “the farm has been in our family for two generations and we’ve always just sold our goods at our market, we don’t outsource them elsewhere so our market is the only place for our sales to take place, we’re going to experience a huge loss of goods if something doesn’t change”.Corn season is also just around the corner and with their crops basically ready, the farm is worried the decrease in clientele could mean an important amount of leftover corn.Beaulieu Farms haven’t made any profitthis season and are just barely covering their expenses.Three workers have been let go already and Beaulieu admits that he would probably just stop his operations for the summer if it wouldn’t mean another five of his employees losing their jobs._____ .It’s a tale of unfortunate timing for Beaulieu, as had the construction began in the winter time these problems most probably wouldn’t be occurring.The constructions, which are supposed to take a total of four months, just so happen to be taking place during the same four months that represent Beaulieu’s major sales period and when he gains most of his revenue for the year.Beaulieu insists however that he is “I fully understand these are mandatory and important constructions, I just hope people are aware that we are still open and that our market remains very accessible even with the construction taking place at the intersection”.Beaulieu Farms are located at 3750 route 143 in Waterville and sell a variety of fruits, vegetables, homemade breads and pastries.not complaining about the situation

By Corrinna Pole Lennoxville Nearly two decades after it began, Bishop's-Champlain Refugee-Student Sponsorship Project is still going strong and preparing for the next two students to fill the seats this fall.Lissa McRae, who sits on the sponsorship committee with faculty, staff and students from both schools, told The Record the project is a “life saver” for former refugee camp residents to have a new lease on life.Bishop’s and Champlain are part of the sixty Canadian institutions to join the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) project to offer young refugees post secondary education.“They all come from United Nations refugee sanctioned camps.The problem is there are hundreds of qualified students but only sixty schools that take one or two students,” said McRae.This past school year the project brought two students from Rwanda and Burundi to study in Lennoxville.McRae, along with Heather Thompson, Mary Purky and Nancy Robichaud and the other 21 members of the sponsorship committee, keep a watchful eye on the students and help them adjust to the culture shock.“We help them learn to cook and buy food, the food is completely foreign to them, we help them choose their courses and we help them socially,” said McRae.“We know students are going to be lonely in the first few months so we have apple picking, rent them movies, organise activity’s to make sure they aren’t always alone.It’s not always easy because some are so shy.” After helping the students integrate and supporting them through their studies, the committee gets to see the positive effect of the project.McRae says at least two of the students in recent years have completed their masters and she’s seen several grow into successful adults raising families of their own.“These students work their butts off and they don’t take anything for granted,” said McRae.“They like freedom and that they are not starving.They don’t really like the food and the weather, but they like the freedom.” While the students tuition fees as well as room and board, are waved for the first year, they arrive with few personal belongings and the committee works to pick up slack with the support of the community.“Our goal is to raise $20,000 per student.That keeps them for 12 months and covers everything from eyeglasses to textbooks, to a living allowance and it covers their rent over the summer when school is out,” said McRae.The committee holds a variety of events to generate the funds starting in the spring with a massive garage sale that brings in between $10,000 and $12,000.“It was first started as a way to get inexpensive furniture for the students apartments but since, it has become really popular.It is our biggest fundraiser,” she explained.Sometimes the project gets a little nudge of help from other community members like Lennoxville’s St.Andrew's Church Sunday School who has decided to lend their support with a summer fitness event.“This is an amazing project in the community that has been going on for about 20 years We want to help out as much as we can and it’s a very worthy initiative," Reverend John Barry Forsyth told The Record.“Even if we raise everything we hope to raise it would only be a drop in the bucket for what they do.This is a small effort on our part.Our theme this year is ‘we try harder for our friends, for ourselves, for others in need.’ The thrust is to do more and try harder for those in our community." • After a successful first year run, the Sunday school plans donating the funds raised from their weekend try-athlon to the project.“You’ll notice its called a Try-athlon, its not a proper triathlon, I’ve participated in a few of those myself.There’s a fitness component and a break in between events, it’s a fun day with a challenge built in.” Over thirty Townshippers from children to an 80 year old participated in the friendly competition last year.This year, the event, which takes place rain or shine on Saturday, starts with a 8 a.m.adult swim and 8:30 kids swim and games at North Hatley Beach.At 10 a.m.participants will head to the Capelton Mines parking and cycle four, seven or 14 kilometres along the bike trail toward North Hatley.Anyone who would rather not bike can walk or run four kilometres in the same direction.An hour later the group will walk or run five kilometres on the trail towards Lennoxville to MacDonald Road and back.After all that effort, participants will celebrate the event with a noontime brunch, hosted by the Deacon's Court, at the St.Andrew's Church in Lennoxville.Participation in the Try-athalon is free and registrations will take place onsite.For more information or for participants to have themselves counted for the brunch, contact Reverend John Barry Forsyth at 819-346-2638 by July 20.The church is collecting donations for the refugee program which can be given to try-athalon participants or mailed to St.Andrew's Church, 256 Queen Street, Sherbrooke, QC JIM 1K6.Cheques should be made out to the "Sunday School Fundraiser" and tax receipts will be given for donations of $10 or more.Big crowds, different acts CONT’D FROM PAGE 1 As calm as the Coeur de Pirate concert was, the fireworks display that followed a half-hour later was very different.Put on by Alberta’s “Fireworks Spectaculars” and set to an all Bon Jovi soundtrack featuring some of their most upbeat songs.The ending itself was as climactic as any of the shows over the course of the week, as an incredible amount of fire- works flew off into the sky and across the lake in perfect synch with the bands hit “Wanted Dead or Alive”.DJ Champion took the stage following the fireworks as one of the week’s youngest and seemingly most energetic crowds gathered on the grassy area in front of the stage.The esteemed DJ didn’t come alone being backed by five guitarists and a bassist: they would put on what was easily the most energy filled and hectic performances of the entire week.Glow sticks and dance circles were abundant in the crowd as security did their best to keep everything under control as many fans were sent body surfing along the mass of people, some comfortably being brought down to the ground, others descending not so gracefully.The Montreal DJ would play an extended set going late into the night and leaving everybody exhausted from dancing and jumping as they made the walk off the site and back towards the entrance gates.Saturday night saw a much older and more reserved crowd on hand.The Bryan Adams themed fireworks display from Ontario’s “Garden City Display Fireworks” were a tamer affair than the pre- vious nights, not to say they weren’t as enjoyable but noticeably more calm being set to some of the artist’s slower ballads.The display to “Summer of ’69” was an undeniable highlight of the showcase, with a gigantic “69” logo being lit up by flairs on the lake.Those who stayed after the fireworks gathered by the Loto-Quebec stage once more for the Collective Soul concert, which gained an overall mixed response from the crowd.The bands true fans stood impatiently in front of the stage, but most still in attendance took their places in lawn chairs further away.Fireworks were lit on stage to announce the beginning of the bands performance, which consisted mostly of their original work but also an impressive medley midway through mixing Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” with AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” and “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”.The band gave their fans what they came to see, playing most, if not all of their radio hits including an acoustic version of “The World I Know” and ending their encore with their most popular hit “Shine” from 1993.i Drop by our office today and pick one up! 1195 Galt St.East, Sherbrooke 819.569.9525 5B

our pasts by threads varying both in strength and in form.Music, art and literature are sources of some of these threads; others arise because of family, friends or other personal relationships.The institutions with which we come in contact during our lives are also influential: schools, homes, clubs and social organizations, churches.Their influences are different for each of us, but they are part of our makeup nevertheless.But time changes things.We evolve to meet the demands of our lives, and the institutions which were once part of our lives also change, sometimes not for the better.Churches everywhere have felt this same evolution, as witnessed by the number of buildings abandoned, deteriorating and/or sold in the Townships alone.The Universalist church in Huntingville was no exception.In the mid-19th century the Universalist movement, which had taken hold in New England, began to spread into the Eastern Townships, and at one time there were perhaps as many as 50 Universalist societies in the region.Some met in private homes, others in existing churches, while some congregations were large enough to warrant their own buildings.Of those societies active 150 years ago only the Unitarian Universalist Church of North Hatley, built in 1895, is still operating.The Huntingville church has stood on a height of land on Route 147, not far from the junction with Route 143, for almost 170 years.A fine example of the old meeting houses which were built in New England in the 18th and 19th centuries, and whose style was carried to the Eastern Townships of Québec by American settlers after the opening of the area in 1792.The building stands today as a landmark in the Municipality of Water-ville, of which Huntingville is now part.It is the oldest existing Universalist church building in Québec and one of the oldest in Canada.The land for the building was donated by Seth Hunting; the foundation was 'The 167-year long thread' COURTESY Inside The Universalist church in Huntingville.laid in the spring of 1844.The structure was completed the same year, and the dedication service, led by Reverend J.W.Ford, took place on New Year’s Day 1845.The church has closed pews, each with its own door, and an upper gallery along the rear of the interior.It has the simple lines, bell loft and white-painted clapboards that identify its New England heritage.Once a very active church, the congregation slowly became too small to allow it to continue to function, and formal activities ceased there in the 1950s, though the building was used occasionally until the mid-1970s.In 1976 a letter was sent to the chairman of Canadian Heritage of Québec, a non-profit organization whose goal was to ensure the continued existence of heritage properties around Québec, seeking aid in maintaining the building.Canadian Heritage of Québec took over the property and some renovations were made, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the building eventually fell into disrepair.In the late 1980s and again in the early 1990s, the government of Quebec, in particular the Ministère de la Culture, prepared assessments of the cultural and historic values of a number of church properties around the province.Townships roadwork Motorists are asked by the regional Transportation Ministry to exercise extra caution on the road and take time to plan their commute as several roadwork projects are scheduled to take place this week in the townships.In Magog, repairs to the bridge on Highway 55 South, in the direction of Stanstead, at exit 121 from Highway 10 West in Magog, will continue until Wednesday, July 20.The work has caused the ramp leading to the bridge to be narrowed.Motorists are asked to respect the signs and barriers that have been set up around the site.Work that began July 13 on the route 141 bridge in Magog has also been extended.The speed limit on Highway 10 has been reduced to 80 km/h and westbound lanes, in the direction of Montreal, will be closed from 7 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.from today to July 22.At East Angus, the construction of a ramp at the intersection of route 214 and Angus Road is slated to start today and will continue until July 29.The right shoulder will be completely closed during the project, even after work hours.There will also be sporadic closures of one lane between 6 a.m.and 6 p.m.Monday to Friday.Flaggers will direct traffic.?at Bury between the St.Francis River in Westbury and Route 108, a lane will be closed for repaving work.From now until August 5 flaggers will direct traffic.At Sherbrooke, Émery-Fontaine Road, between Saint-Roch Street South and Conrad-Blanchet Road, will be closed today due to paving work.The City of Sherbrooke has announced commuters can detour around the street via Saint-Roch South, Bourque Boulevard and Bark Avenue.The work starts at 7 a.m.and is expected to be finished at 4 p.m.including many in the Eastern Townships.The heritage, historical and architectural significance of the church properties was rated on an “A” to “E” scale, “A” denoting the highest significance and “E” the lowest; the Huntingville Universalist church was placed in the “A” category on both surveys.The only other church building in the Sherbrooke region to receive the same classification from the Ministère was St.Mark’s Chapel at Bishop’s University.For anyone who is interested, the list and the evaluations of the church buildings can be found on The Quebec Religious Heritage Foundation’s website.The building continued to deteriorate, however, and in the late 1990s it was felt that something had to be done to save it.Patrimoine Huntingville - Heritage Huntingville was incorporated as a non-profit charitable organization in 1996 by a group of concerned residents of the village of Huntingville and other nearby communities with the goal of preserving some of the historic buildings and sites in the village.Its first project was the restoration of the Huntingville church.In the late 1990s, ownership of the property was transferred to Patrimoine Huntingville - Heritage Huntingville by Canadian Heritage of Québec for the nominal sum of $1.00.The Québec Religious Heritage Foundation, a provincial government body, committed a significant amount of money toward the restoration of the building.Canadian Heritage of Québec provided another substantial sum, while the balance came fr om individual and corporate donors in the region.Restoration began in the spring of 1998.The church was raised, moved off its foundation, and set to one side.The crawl space under the church was cleaned out and deepened, new sills were added, the structural beams under the church floor were strengthened, and the building was then put back in place.Considerable work was also done to renovate the interior, to update the heating and electrical systems and to repair the badly-damaged steeple.The building was re-dedicated in the autumn of 1998 by the then-minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of North Hatley, Reverend Clyde Grubbs.It officially reopened on Thanksgiving Sunday, October 8, 2000, with a full house of approximately 125 visitors.With restoration completed, it is hoped that the building will remain a special focal point for the community for many years to come.Patrimoine Huntingville - Heritage Huntingville has hosted ecumenical religious services in the church on special occasions, and has also held several musical events there.Amongst the artists who have performed at the church are The Montreal Welsh Male Choir (five times), The Lakeside Singers, the choir of Les enfants de la terre (the Waldorf School in Waterville), local bluegrass artists Terry Howell & Friends, threetime Juno Award winner David Francey, Le choeur des sangs mêlés of Sherbrooke (who will perform again on October 23), and The Mike Goudreau Jazz Trio.Upcoming events, including a Thanksgiving service, will be published in The Record as the dates are finalized.Should anyone be interested in booking the church for a wedding, baptism or similar event, the season normally runs from mid-April to early December each year, and your event should be planned accordingly.The seating capacity of the church is approximately 125 people.Patrimoine Huntingville - Heritage Huntingville can be contacted by email, regular mail or phone at the addresses given below: we look forward to hearing from you.And, if you would like to make a donation to help maintain this historic building, please note that such contributions are tax-deductible, and receipts will be issued upon request.Patrimoine Huntingville - Heritage Huntingville, 150 McKay Street, Box 2408, North Hatley, QC Canada JOB 2C0 819-842-3102.huntingville@gmail.com Do You Want a

the safeguard and promotion of its values on the world stage and will act unilaterally when necessary.Such is our current foreign policy, five years in the making under Prime Minister Harper.'Hi ere in lies an implied critique of the former Liberal Government’s approach to external affairs: Canada had no discernible position, sacrificing principle to economic interest or to the idea of international cooperation; it failed to assert its “middle power” status through military means; it antagonised its largest trading partner as well as its democratic ally in the Near East.Prime Minister Harper can pride himself on clarity, in his principled consideration of all facets of foreign policy.He may risk more pointed criticism at home and abroad for these explicit, unapolo-getic commitments, but surely he cannot be accused of ambiguity or softness as the Liberal Government regularly was - in occurrence, by Reformers and Conservatives.The incremental development of a distinct Canadian “realpolitik,” then, is out, and idealism is in.Kissinger is out, Wilson is in.Early from the formation of a Conservative Government in 2006, this political idealism was palpable, in the refrisai, for instance, to recognise Palestine’s Hamas-led government and in the imbroglio with China over human rights, later that year.Significantly, Prime Minister Harper would not apologise for his Government’s failed bid for a seat at the United Nations Security Council, last fall.As his advisors and ministers explained, such sacrifices were inevitable in the advancement of Canadian values.The same philosophy was already manifest in then-Opposition Leader Harper’s support for the Iraq War, in 2002-2003.Again, if nothing else, Stephen Harper has been consistent.It follows that Canada’s international reputation is in some measure expend- able.The Government’s approach to debates over climate change and asbestos is sufficient proof, and further, Prime Minister Harper’s unfailing opposition to a “bank tax” conveyed anything but deference to the concerns of other states.The pursuit of principle is commendable, but as President Wilson would find in Paris, issues and conflicts of international magnitude do not arise and develop along the simple and systematic lines of rational thought.Manichaeanism, by the very nature of its simplicity, is naive.It makes light of complex problems and, in its inability to adapt to on-the-ground realities, it leads to great inconsistencies.For instance, the failure to win a Security Council seat on account of greater rigidity is, concurrently, a lost opportunity to effect real change and to advance Canada’s position as a “middle power.” Canada is no longer an honest broker in Middle Eastern affairs.It may, as a result, have less influence over the peace process in Palestine and, worse still, face increasing diplomatic and economic marginalisation in the Arab and Muslim worlds.Attempts to mirror American policies, for their part, will do nothing to establish Canada as a distinct and necessary international player.The values espoused by the Conservative Government are not inherently wrong, or “bad,” but as always with Stephen Harper, it is the manner of addressing the issues, the process, that is problematic.It does not suffice to have admirable policies; a leader must know how to carry them out so as to effect the greatest change.To this end confrontation is seldom the ideal path.Pragmatism and dialogue, conversely, most often are.Nor has Canada’s opportunity to “punch above its weight,” in military missions in Afghanistan and Libya, all in the stated interest of democracy and human rights, yielded the expected results.And while defence takes a leading role in Canada’s foreign policy, diplomacy and development are impaired, especially if they occur in channels that run counter to official Conservative policy.The Government’s approach to Rights and Democracy and to Kairos is very telling in these regards.When Secretary of State Kissinger went to China, he had no illusions about i iTHE RECORD t.0.Box 1200 SbcrbroohcJlH 06 or 1195 Galt £, ShertrooteJlG 1Y7 Fax k* Nbwshoom omv;

to American interests in East Asia.Yet he knew that diplomatic engagement and trust were requisite if both countries’ interests, and in the long term, American values, were to be served.When Prime Minister Harper went to China, he alienated the awakening giant with moral bravado that undermined Canadian business opportunities as well as the possibility of meaningful suasion in the future.Canada cannot compromise on the world stage, and now helmed by a majority government, there will be no need for domestic compromise either.On the road to the last election, Prime Minister Harper consistently refused to reach out to the other parties, and so now, quite typically, he is blocking future avenues for dialogue in world affairs - and, possibly, economic opportunities as well.• Do Canadians support the pursuit of principle, Conservative principles specifically, at any cost?Let us suspect that as their country becomes more isolated and less engaged in the process of international cooperation and problem-solving, they will come to see the Harper Government for what it truly is - stubborn, ideological, and ultimately, ineffective.“Moral ambiguity, moral equivalence are not options, they are dangerous illusions.” So says the Conservative leader.Only a simple mind could interpret balance, negotiation, intellectual openness, and appropriately sophisticated responses to complex problems as ambiguity or as a moral failing.Patrick Lacroix is from Lennoxville.The switch to organic * I m Anna May Kinney Nature’s Way hr-ivery day more people are being 1—4 turned onto organically grown J—J fruit and vegetables.Many of us believe that the diet of the animal products we eat needs to be organic too, and that what they eat will eventually affect our bodies.Last year, researchers in the Netherlands found that organically fed chickens wind up having different genes than those fed a conventionally diet.Apparently from what I read in Natural News, this is something to take serious.The chickens fed organic feed developed genes with a higher expression for creating cholesterol, though the chickens do not wind up with elevated blood cholesterol.This study was done on chickens of the same age groups, one group eating conventional chicken diet, the other eating an organic diet.Even the researchers were shocked to find that the organic group had 49 genes that were regulating differently than their counter group.Times are changing People use to believe that eating/buying organic food was some thing only rich people did, but with more demand for organics over the last twenty years, the more large and small farms have gone organic has brought down the percentage of difference between chemi-cally/GMO laden Food and organic food.While we are right now seeing major crop failure through flooding in both the USA and Canada, and realize that this winter we may see prices we never could imagine in our wildest nightmares, you who have written me with fears of how you are going to feed yourself and your family are probably wondering why I’m at this time telling you to think about going organic?The secret to cutting the food bill is not making one’s family settle for chemically laden produce that may or may not be Genetically altered.It’s two fold, buying from local farmers in bulk you have a better chance of finding people who use organic methods, learn to talk to the fanner and find out how he farms.Surprisingly many small farmers are organic but do not want the hassle and cost of becoming certified as they only sell a little produce each year.And buying in bulk from locals, you save gas not having to run back and forth to the grocery store to pick up a few items at the store.The savings alone from the gas will be more than enough to pay for the little bit more you’ll spend to go organic.It’s called planning for the year, not shopping for the week Right now, during the growing season, is the right time to locate growers or suppliers in your area that carry the products your family wants.Whether it’s organic cheese, meat, fish, veggies, or fruit, most can be bought in bulk more reasonably than buying a little at a time.Buying in season makes a huge difference in price.But the biggest savings comes by learning to process and store what you buy or better yet grow it in your backyard.It’s much cheaper to buy a 22kg.bag of organic, whole grain flour instead of small bags as your family needs them.Most flours, will store about Five years without going rancid or buggy after being frozen for 48 hours, then kept off the floor, in a cool/dry room, but never the basement.Cont’d on page 8 The Record ne wsroom@sherbroolcerecord.com Monday, July 18, 2011 Page 7 THE Good Reads "X'y" Eleanor Brown Page 8 Linking

complications of the disease,” says Grey, “Not only am I doing this for her, but for everyone suffering from MS - to support a cause that has affected so many people personally.” A guest speaker from the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada has been invited to attend.Much information on MS can also be found on the website at www.mssociety.ca.There, it reveals that Canadians have one of the highest rates of the disease in the world.Every day.three more people in Canada are diagnosed with MS.Women are more than three times as likely to develop it as men.Symptoms can be loss of balance, impaired speech, extreme fatigue, double vision and paralysis.This Pink Angel event is near and dear to so many on the team.“Some of us have lost our sisters, mothers, friends -some of the team have MS.We as a community can help to find a cure.Please come and help us to party like my sister would.Raise your glass and please think pink,” implores Grey, referencing the popular hit song by the Pop group ‘Pink’.Anyone unable to attend the event can still show their support by donating money, or an item for the silent auction.Come out and have a great time with the Pink Angel Team and help fight

construction Sylvia Bullard No more excuses for jaywalking in Lennoxville, as crossing Queen St.from Provigo to Opto-Reseau or Tim Hortons should be a little easier now.Last week saw the beginnings of the new crosswalk.With summer holidays in full swing no one from Council was available for com- ment, however, most motorists know that where traffic signals are not in place, vehicles must stop and yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk by slowing down or stopping if need be.In other words, you’d better come to a complete stop whenever there’s a pedestrian in the crosswalk.In Quebec the possibility of applicable fines for jaywalking depend on municipal authori- ties - crossing a street at any place other than at a crosswalk may lead to a fine.Despite the fact that that motorists should stop for pedestrians, they may not always exercise the proper respect needed, therefore special care with regards to crosswalks should always be taken by pedestrians.Sylvia.recordlink@yahoo.ca

I want you to look nice, and you cannot wear a dark suit with a dark shirt.You’ll look like a pimp.” The boy calmly replied, “Well, in that case, I won’t go.” Whereupon the mother said she’d make him wear a dress to the wedding and called him a moron.At that point, I politely told her she’d have to leave, and* I escorted her out while she screamed that her son was an ingrate.Was 1 wrong to have escorted her out?My boss wasn’t angry, but I know he would rather have made the sale.I thought the woman’s behavior was inappropriate.- Sales Clerk in Kansas Dear Kansas: Screaming customers should be politely asked to leave, and that mother seemed particularly past coping.However, clerks need to be careful.It doesn’t help to take sides and become the paying customer’s adversary.You might have had better luck if you could have steered both of them toward an outfit that would have allowed for a compromise.Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Feeling Alone,” who has been married for 40 years and her retired husband is too busy to spend time with her.She wanted to meet an old flame for lunch.She got the same old advice from you: Tell your husband how you feel, find outside interests, or get counseling.You just don’t get it.I’ve also been married 40 years, and my spouse is recently retired.I still work full time.When he retired, he became even more involved with community affairs.He’s intelligent, well-spoken, a great problem-solver and a real “can-do” guy.The result is that I never see him.Even when he’s home, he isn’t really here — he’s on the phone or online, dealing with yet another committee or crisis.I have shared my feelings of loneliness with him.I am involved in other things.What I don’t have is a husband who is interested in me.I didn’t get married so I could become an expert quilter, gardener and volunteer.These spouses are addicted to their outside interests and give their marriages whatever time is left over.“Feeling” should decide whether she is better off with or without him, and then act accordingly.— Lonely but Staying Dear Lonely: We agree that each spouse must decide whether or not to stay in the marriage.Discussing it is the first step.Finding other activities is best for those who choose to stay.We recommend counseling in order to air grievances and make the best decision.Too often, neglected spouses expect the other person to change, when that is not likely to happen.We appreciate your input.Dear Annie: I’m not an expert, but I recommend that “Itching in Ky.” and other homeowners with bedbug problems place their guest bed mattress in a full mattress cover made of plastic or other non-penetrable material with a zippered closure.— Fellow Kentuckian Dear Fellow: With bedbugs such a problem, it can’t hurt to protect yourself before the critters move in.Some of these mattress covers also protect against dust mites and allergens.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.90th Birthday gf Wishes 3 V m Happy 90th birthday to Ron Taylor on July 18, 2011 )*.Love and best wishes ;

they have a special oil in their outer feathers so that they can stay dry even in water, while their inner feathers keep them warm: they have 3 sets of eyelids (one for sunlight, one for dust and fine particles, and one for looking underwater for food); they are very social animals and a group of them are called a Raft, Team or a Paddling.“Keep smiling it makes people wonder what you are up to.” Audrey Allan reported “Prime Minister Steven Harper” is going to pay a visit on June 24 to “Guy Couture Farm” on Johnson Road, Thetford Mines.Health & Community Living: Pauline Nutbrown gave us tips.Plant trees, shrubs and herbs that are native and generally require less care and water.Cover your pool when not in use to cut down on evaporation and keep the water clean and warm.Hang your clothes on the line instead of running the dryer.You’ll save electricity and the water it takes to produce it.Members were very pleased when Pauline gave each member a Canada Day flag and expressed their thanks.Education & Personal Development: Flora MacNaul told us school is out for the year and she had taken the pictures of the 30 graduates at A.S.J.Memorial High School.Publicity & Awareness: Dorothy Bolduc reported that Prince William and Kate Middleton will be touring for 5 days across Canada (June 30).The couple will be in Ottawa for Canada Day, visit a children’s hospital in Montreal, from there to the St.Lawrence, on to Quebec City and Levis, then to P.E.I.to visit Anne of Green Gables, then north to Yellowknife where the couple will go canoeing, then to the Calgary Stampede.Thinking of you cards were signed for Doris Stevens and Dale Nugent.The surprise gift was won by Helen Lowry.All enjoyed Pauline’s delicious refreshments and a social time together.Submitted by Audrey Allan The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, July 18, 2011 Page 13 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created Irom quotations by famous people, past and present.Each letter in the cipher stands for another TODA Y'S CLUE: G equals B “ O X R , OHT BCD IHRX RHPXGHUO HMXJDNSLA.INEX NR RLHJA.NA BCD BHPX CDU SH INFX C EXCALXJ ND A L X VNDU." - RLCDNC AVCND Previous solution - “The rockets and the satellites, spaceships that we're creating now.we're pollinating the universe.” - Neil Young Alley Oop ” IT MAXES ME WONDER WHM WE'RE 60tNe TO ENCOUNTER r HERE ON EARTH Z! r ^ K.IMDA WAKES ^ YOU WONDER WHERE > 602 CAME FROM, < DOESN'T IT?Z-J Arlo & Janis WE'LL SOME EATING DINOSAURS/ (C) 2011 by NBA, Inc.7-18 Kit n’ Carlyle IT SAID.'5AV& WAT6.R owefe WHEW IWA6IW COU.&&L i had a T-shirt j wore.ALL THE.TIME., WOULD YOÜ WITH AFRILWD/* /?HAVE.&eL)0 A 66LieVE SOPHOMORE.7 kitncariyle@comcast.net www.gocomics.com l Go WoNO^*2-lîïgyW At-WAys ^(l The Born Loser n FIRST, PRÛ FOOTBML 60£5 1 NOW, PRO 6A6RE.T&ML lb IN^ INTO As.WORK 5T0PPKGE.! k WORK.bTOPPAGC î blALLSHt ! | « 3 k F/kN STOPPKGL WUM'S NEKT ?r Frank And Ernest X DON'T cm HOIV M/lNY &Lf-VtF£NK youve 1 7/llCeN.ACTING K YOUR OlvN If 2/VYÉÉ 57/^2 | lu b PAV lt>tA COC/VTY COC/PT tim Distributed by Universal Udick tor UFS HERMAN TO Grizwells .I SUPPOSE Sire mw\) n m mm 1: AMHP TWEKiy ÿïÿif K'sS-’r Soup to Nuts CHOO AAAH © Laughingstock International Inc., Diet, by Universal Udick for UFS.2011 “There’s a new type of butter called I Can’t Believe It’s Not Margarine ’” sTr°M^.d $»jotue —.ne wHl« go Check a-Health Check” Diabetes ^ ^e" EPIDEMIC m Diabetes Québec Information and donations: (514) 2593422 or 1.800.361.3504 www.diabete.qc.ca '¦W yw/z/W/,//- page 14 Monday July 18, 2011 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 4:00 p.m.CLASSIFIED 001 Property lor Sale 050 Rest Homes 140 Professional Services 210 Motorcydes-brcydes 294 Events TIMESHARE CANCEL.Cancel your Timeshare contact now! 100% money back guarantee.Stop mortgage and maintenance payments today.1-888-816-7128 ext.6868 or 702-527-6868.035 For Rent CLASSIFIEDS ONLINE!

In today’s deal you get to face two slams for the price of one.How would you plan the play if you were in either six clubs or six no-trump after West leads the diamond 10?When you opened two clubs, strong, artificial and forcing, North immediately knew it was a slam deal.He responded two diamonds, planning to take control after finding out about your hand.Here, when you rebid two no-trump to show a good 22 to 24 points.North made a quantitative raise to six no-trump.You start with 11 top tricks: two spades, two hearts, three diamonds and four clubs.In six no-trump, you will probably have to find the heart queen.So, leave that suit until after you have tested the other three.Win the first trick and duck a spade, losing the trick that you must concede.Let’s assume the defender who wins that trick returns a diamond.Now cash your spade, diamond and club winners.What do you find out?That West started with two spades, five diamonds and two clubs — therefore, four hearts.Similarly, East began with five spades, two diamonds and three clubs — therefore, three hearts.The best North 07-18-n ?6 5 2 * A J 9 ?Q J 7 4 K J 9 8 West East ?Q 7 4 J 10 9 8 3 *8643 * Q 7 2 ?10 9862 ?IS 4 4 3 4 6 5 2 South ?A K 4 ?K 10 5 ?A K 5 4 A Q 10 7 Dealer: South Vulnerable: Both South West North East 24 Pass 2 ?Pass 2 NT Pass 6 NT All pass Opening lead: ?10 play is clear: Cash your heart king, then play a heart to dummy’s jack — and unluckily go down! In six clubs, though, you do not need to guess.Draw trumps, cash the diamond and spade winners, then lead your last spade.East has either to shift to a heart, finding the queen for you, or to lead a spade, conceding a ruff-and-sluff.CROSSWORD Across I Gold medalist’s place 6 Buddies II Use a stun gun on 14 Boise’s state 15 Saigon’s Vietnam War counterpart 16 had it!” 17 Penning ads and such 19 Wee one 20 PC key next to the space bar 21 Buttery and creamy, as pastry 22 Browsing the Web, say 24 When doubled, make light of 25 Church alcove 26 Mall habitué’s motto 32 Ending for micro- or oscillo- 33 Puppy’s protest 34 Big Band__ 35 Tackle box item 36 Equine, to a 19-Across 38 Odds partner 39 Like most codgers 40 Long-haul rig 41 Postal postings 42 Instrument Bob Dylan was once booed for playing 46 Gold medalist, vis-à-vis competitors 47 Egyptian snakes 48 “Cornin’ right up” 51 Part of a blind 52 “Unbelievable!” 55 Whopper junior?56 Race decided by a camera, or what the start of 17-, 26- or 42-Across literally is 59 Seasonal malady 60 Crowbar, essentially 61 How objects are seen through a mist 62 “Is it soup_?” 63 Skip the announcement, invitations, etc.64 Old Montreal team P A S Q u i N A D E M M A R S E X P U R G A T E S A L O U A L L 1 G A T O R S 1 D A M N T R A D E 1 L 1 E 1 E R A S B O S S H O L D ¦ J A M 1 E O S H T E N S E M O M E N T G E Y S E R s | D E c 1 D E S W E B ¦ IS ¦ N 0 N 1 T S A T 1 .1 A s T 1 C E S E T T H E S T A G E N A N A R E T E ¦ T R U E N A R C 1 S E E ¦ 1 S P E I R O D E L A i o F F T H E G R 1 D S L 1 M P l8 A L U S T R A D E O Y E s * O N E S T R 1 P E R Down 1 Payroll tax acronym 2 Teen favorite 3 Totally absorbed 4 Hardly outgoing 5 Line on a tugboat 6 Showy to a fault 7 “What__God wrought?” 8 Prefix with verse 9 Game with tiny hotels 10 Volunteers (for) 11 Penne relative 12 Skin So Soft maker 13 Townshend of The Who 18 Mob disorder 23 Was in front 24 Benedict I, e.g.25 Affirmative votes 26 Oar 27 Large crowd 28 Emotionally expressive, as poetry 29 Avis_Car 30 Tell the waiter what you want 31 Avoid flunking 32 Gin fizz flavoring 36 _Bernardi, who played Tevye on Broadway 37 Fail to mention 38 Diner sign 40 Church topper 41 Scary beach current 43 TV network with an eye logo 44 In great numbers 45 “Wild Blue Yonder” mil.group 48 Far from certain 49 River through Egypt 50 Be contiguous with 51 Aerobics accessory 52 Spineless one 53 Norway’s capital 54 __and wherefores 57 Lacto-_vegetarian 58 Put the kibosh on » 16 Monday, July 18, 2011 >Wr newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record SATCIUTE I A D IO ^boDaiaB jlplppiH, !?Élii -P illilskiiii!
