rescue organization worked to spay, neuter, and otherwise care for the pets before sending them off to other organizations for adoption.The animals were collected from the community of Lac Simon approximately 30 minutes outside of Val-D’Or in Western Quebec last week after the housing director of that community sought the help of Washington D.C.-based Animal Rescue Corps (ARC).“In the entire community there was just over 200 dogs and some cats, I believe we were able to retrieve if not 100 very close to 100 of the animals in the Cont’d on page 5 Never to be forgotten RECORD ARCHIVES ISlSI

By Aaron Ries Although its home base is tucked away under the Foreman Art Gallery at Bishop’s University, the Community Art Lab is a borderless project, which uses art as a learning tool to reach the surrounding community.Three years young, the Community Art Lab examines how we learn from Art and its value in our everyday lives.Designed for both young and old, the Lab organizes events to engage the creative side of our Borough’s residents, and Sherbrooke as well.Last January the Art Lab created the ‘Living Libraries’ project, a collaboration with Literacy in Action.The project saw real people taking the place of books in a library, and we were all invited to explore the ‘stories’ of these diverse individuals who compose our community.Instead of just reading a book, guests could learn, interact and discuss with the live ‘books’ on a library’s shelves.The Community Art Lab is led by Yael Filipovic, the Foreman Art Gallery’s Curator of Education and Cultural Action.Originally from Saint-Sauveur, Yael’s passion for creativity led her to studies at McGill, and later the University of Toronto, working with galleries in both cities.While completing her Masters in Museum Studies in Toronto, Filipovic came to the realization that an art gallery could, and should, be about more than just art.It was soon after that the opportunity to return to La Belle Province arrived, and she begun to put ROBERT VITOLS Yael Filipovic, the Foreman Art Gallery’s Curator of Education and Cultural Action her beliefs into action.Without hesitation, Filipovic came to the subtle grandeur of the Townships in May 2010, and has yet to look back.Her next endeavor with the Art Lab is a Do-it-Your-self (DIY) radio workshop, where participants will experiment with sound and technology to make their own AM radios.Those brave enough to ride the airwaves will be led through a hands-on manipulation of art in action, and even get to take their creation home.Beyond broadcasting, and the making thereof, Yael and the Community Art Lab will explore academic taboo’s in De- cember, examining the place of‘Failure’ in education (more details to come).Meditating on the future of the Lab, Filipovic is excited for the coming years, filled with the launching of new themes, and the building of long term relationships with the community.Yael invites all to come learn and grow with the Lab, to bring Art to where it did not previously exist.Participation in the DIY Radio Workshop will cost $10 (includes materials and equipment) and will take place at 1:30PM on the 19th of November at ‘Le Tremplin’ (97 Wellington St.South).Silent Auction fundraiser in Bedford Returning for its 7th edition this not every other year, the Silent Auction very quiet Silent Auction is one of raises much

present By Corrinna Pole Across the country Canadians will stop today and share a moment of silence and, if they haven’t already, this weekend Royal Canadian Legion branches will host memorial services in honour of local soldiers who served and were lost.As time rolls on, fewer Legions have original veterans participating in the events.Although their halls were once filled with veterans of the two World Wars, time has seen membership dwindle and the Legions have had to redefine their purpose.“Like many clubs the Legion was a clubby affair that operated on the idea of members sitting around, sharing a drink and a few stories,” explains Burton McConnell, president of Sawyerville Legion Branch 165.“With less veterans the dubs have had to change and the role of the Legion has turned into more of a community service.Our [branch’s] modest contribution is to local youth and seniors.” Throughout the year, but especially during events like Remembrance Day, the Legion’s active members take on an even more valuable role by physically standing in for those who have passed on.This year’s services will be a little harder than most for the Sawyerville branch since it lost its last remaining World War II veteran, George Pinchin.The 98-year-old Bulwer resident passed away earlier this year.“He was our grand old man,” said McConnell fondly.“We presented him with a service medal last year, he was our secretary for years and years.When we gave it to him he was wearing all his other medals and he joked he wouldn’t have a place to pin it.I was driving him home and on the way I asked if he figured out where he was going to put it and he said on his pyjamas.He had a great sense of humour until the end.” Legion members are perhaps most noticeable for contributing to Remembrance Day services, but they play an equally important ambassadorial role by lending a voice that keeps the human experience of war from becoming nothing more than a historical footnote for future generations and new Canadians.McConnell and Sawyerville branch vice-president Colonel Jack Garneau have already spent time making their rounds to local schools.For about a dozen students at Sherbrooke’s New Horizons school, McConnell’s discussion about Canada’s role in World War I and how November 11 and the 11th hour came to be, was their first Canadian Remembrance Day experience since they arrived from the Middle East.Since Most Canadians know about Vimy Ridge, McConnell likes to share information about the Battle of Amiens.It’s a story he feels connected to after growing up hearing stories from his mother, grandmother and family about the uncle lost in the battle.“I try to personalize it by telling them about the family getting a telegram that tells them their loved one was dead.Back home they knew what was going on at the battlefield the next day thanks to the undersea cable.But it would take about two weeks for families to get a telegram.For wives and children back home you can image that was agonizing.” McConnell quickly points out that his family’s loss was not unique.Many of those in the Townships have been scarred by loss, physical or mental injuries caused in battles from WWI to the present day.When the Townships was made up of smaller clusters, the whole town or village felt the loss of one family member.“East Clifton is a small farming community.Eighteen men went overseas and five didn’t come back,” said McConnell.“It hits close to home when five people you knew all your life, were born with, grew up and went to school with, don't come back.” That personal connection is what motivated veterans like Pinchin, to lay wreaths year in and year out, until they were no longer there to continue.“I can’t remember one service where he didn’t lay the wreath at the cenotaph,” McConnell said of Pinchin.“We had services in rain, sleet, snow and wind and he was always out there.” While Pinchin’s passing is deeply felt, Sawyerville’s eight Legion members will continue on one of their busiest days of the year as they make their rounds to four cenotaphs - Sawyerville (11 a.m.), East Clifton (11:45), Cookshire (2 p.m.) and Island Brook (2:45).With a solemn parade, the Canadian and the British anthems, and the sombre bugler sounding The Last Post at each of the four stops, McConnell believes the Legion holds the most Remembrance Day services per member, and so far their claim has gone unchallenged.Taking the reins long held by Pinchin, Garneau and McConnell will alternate laying the wreath at each service, each time Remembering.Sawyerville Legion busy on November 11 Branch 165, Royal Canadian Legion, Sawyerville will be busy again on Remembrance Day, and probably setting a record for the most services per member in Canada.The Legion was chartered in 1946, and a Legion Hall was built in Sawyerville.While peak membership is unknown, in 1993 there were 40 members plus 27 Ladies Auxiliary.Interest dwindled however, the Legion Hall was sold and membership reached a low with five members two years ago, with George Pinchin as our last World War Two member.By his count over 90 members who were veterans of the two World Wars had been members, and he was the last.With his passing this year at the grand old age of 98 we lost our long-time Secretary, however there is evidence of continuity with the addition of four new members during the last two years.The eight members are committed to the continuation of four services on November 11 each year, a lunch at the Sawyerville Hotel, distribution of funds to local youth and seniors groups, teaching materials to local schools and the distribution of poppies at local establishments.The day will begin with a service at the Sawyerville Cenotaph at 1100 hrs, with the service including the local Elementary School children.Members will then travel eight km.south on route 253 to the East Clifton Cenotaph, where another service will be conducted at 11.45 a.m.This cenotaph, erected in 1920 is one of the oldest in Canada, and while it lists the names of four local lads killed in East Clifton Cookshire , •V' A- World War 1, there is a fifth soldier who is buried at the extreme southwest corner of the local cemetery, Sgt.JA.Giles, who is also often remembered.Sgt Giles, who was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal, committed suicide by jumping off the homeward bound troop ship as it neared Quebec City in 1920.Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was unknown back then, but it is a good guess that this motivated him to end his life.Of 18 soldiers from East Clifton, one was awarded the Military Medal twice, which only happened to 1 in 700 soldiers, two were awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal-1 in 300 were so .Island Brook honoured, and another received the Military Medal.The next stop is at the Sawyerville Hotel for refreshments and hot soup and sandwiches.In recent years David Price has been pleased to announce that Global Excel and the Allatt family would pick up the cost of the lunch, so a hat is passed around, the donations doubled by the Legion, and the result is that around $400 each year has been donated to the Eaton Valley Bible School to help with their annual summer camp for kids.At 1400 hrs, members arrive in Cookshire where again the children from the local school participate, and finally there will be travel to Island Brook for the last service at 2:45 p.m.Each service includes a short parade, O Canada and God Save The Queen, a bugler sounding The Last Post, but in other ways differs.Schoolchildren are only present at Sawyerville and Cookshire.Island Brook is special because the local ladies always provide hot coffee and other drinks plus delicious cookies, squares and cakes in the Town Hall behind the cenotaph.It is a fitting end to a long and often cold, sometimes wet day, but one, which our little band of eight takes pride in and plans to continue.We welcome visitors to each and every event and look forward to continued good turnouts.Furthermore, we claim to hold more services per member than any other Legion in Canada, and assume no challenge proves our case.Our main mission is continuation of the annual service at each of the four cenotaphs - WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.Story and photos by Burton McConnell.Sawyerville Dennis zos Chartered ACCOUNTANT Corporation Tax Accounting and

communities benefit from recycling funding A total of $2.75 million will be distributed to municipal organizations in the Estrie region that have assumed the cost, transport, sorting and packing of recyclable materials.The funds come from Eco Entreprises Quebec, the financial backer of RECYC-QUÉBEC, a provincial organization that has as a mission to encourage the re- duction of waste, and the reuse and recycling of residual materials.This distribution of funds, which total $51.3 million across the province, is provided under the Law on the compensation for municipal services offered in order to assure the recuperation and reuse of residual materials, passed in 2005.This particular mass of funding is in relation to collection and recycling efforts of these municipalities in the 2009 fiscal year.“Since the start of this program in 2005, over $190 million has been given [.] in compensation to municipalities,” minister of sustainable development, environment and parks Pierre Arcand said in a statement.“Their results, in re- lations to municipal selective collection, improves year after year, as shown by the residential recuperation rates which has reached approximately 65 per cent for 2010, a net progression on the rate of 20.5 per cent in the year 2000.” New website an information-base for immigrants Anew website targeting new immigrants and other new residents of Sherbrooke was launched Thursday by the city.The website, jesuissherbrookeois.ca, is essentially a special site featuring information, references and links to all kinds of information that may be valuable to newly settled residents in the city, everything from coordinates for medical services to a calendar of cultural and social events.Some aspects of the site are still under construction, but a short promotional video on the home page, which offers a short factual summary of Sherbrooke, is already up and running.Citizens can also sign up to receive an email message when information on the website is updated or added.The website was a project of the city’s committee on intercultural relations and diversity and cost approximately $40,000 to create, with 50 per cent of the cost covered by a financial contribution from the minister of immigration and cultural communities of Quebec.The head of the intercultural relations committee, councillor Nathalie Goguen, said that the site was essentially an online version of a notebook they had created for the same purpose.“In 2007 we published a special notebook grouping all the information necessary for new immigrants,” she said in a statement released Thursday.“But contrary to the paper support, the site profits from automatic updates completed on each of the other sites it links to.” Magog news briefs Investment of $1,2 million for the Memphremagog CSSS By Christine Lank Magog Magog residents will soon see major improvements to their Centre de santé et des services sociaux de Memphrémagog (CSSS) as a result of an investment of $1,2 million by the Quebec government.“These investments in the health and social services network reflect the commitment of our government to support both the economy through an aggressive investment program, but also the activities of health facilities throughout Quebec,” said Pierre Reid, deputy of Or-ford.The amount of $1,166,455 will be received during the course of 2012 and will be applied to minor building renovations and the purchase of new med- ical and office equipment.Memphremagog home care services receives subsidy A home care services organization, the Coopérative de solidarité de services à domicile Memphrémagog (CSSDM), has received a subsidy of $ 28,485 to help improve its facilities to better serve its growing clientele.The non-repayable subsidy was awarded through the CLD de la MRC de Memphrémagog’s Fonds de développement et de consolidation des entreprises d'économie sociale (FDCEÉS).The CSSDM’s'mission is to provide home services to the population of the MRC Memphremagog, such as light housekeeping, respite for caregivers, daily tasks, assistance with the prepara- tion of meals and other indoor and outdoor chores.It currently employs about one hundred employees and has approximately 1,500 customers located throughout the Memphremagog region.The organization will apply the subsidy to its renovation and expansion project totaling over $286,000 that includes the purchase of its facilities and adapting it for their growing needs and that of its customers.Snow removal savings of $3.25 million over 5 years By revising its snow removal contract strategy, the City of Magog announced this week that it will save $3.25 million over the next 5 years.“By subdividing certain areas, we have increased the competition and this has allowed us to get competitive rates,” explains Vicki May Hamm, Mayor of Magog.As part of their savings plan, a total of 122 km was assigned to the territory covered by city employees; this represents an increase of 20 km compared to previous years.“The sectors that have not been covered by a contract were given, in blocks of hours, to a private company who will be supervised by the City of Magog," assured the Mayor.The new strategy results in a savings of about $650,000 per year; a savings which will be extended to a total of 5 years because the contracts cover a three year term and include a renewal policy for an additional two years.Careers DESTINATIO > CHUS UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL IN EASTERN TOWNSHIPS A UNIQUE.ENRICHING AND SnMULATING ENVIRONMENT PROFESSIONAL CHALLENGES Temporary full-time

McDougall Danville Twenty seven residents face losing their homes if they do not settle their municipal tax bills with the town soon, warned mayor Jacques He-mond.“We understand that some people are facing hard times and we are willing to make financial arrangements with them, but they have to contact the town by next Monday, or we will start legal proceedings against them,” he told the Record.“This is the highest number of late tax cases 1 have seen in this town and we are paying tens of thousands of dollars in interest on this lost revenue.“We have been patient for a long time.Now that time is running out.” Town manager Michel Lecours said many of the 27 homeowners face tax bills dating back two years and have not negotiated any form of payment plan with the town.“The total tax bill owed is $86,925.” he said.“If nothing is done, we have the right to go to court and have the houses seized.” Lecours said after next Monday, the town will hire a lawyer to start proceedings in provincial court.He said within six months, the court could give the town the permission to seize the homes and at some point evict the tenants.The town then has the right to sell off the properties for the sum of the back taxes owed.The town did not reveal the names of the property owners, but issued the tax file numbers at last Monday night’s monthly public town council meeting. The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Friday, November 11, 2011 Page 5 Local students among those protesting tuition hike Thousands of students from across the province took to the streets of Montreal in a massive protest against tuition hikes yesterday afternoon.Among them were over a thousand Sherbrooke university and CEGEP students who piled onto 11 and six buses respectively Thursday morning to join their counterparts from Montreal and other regions of Quebec.The thousands of protestors caused traffic woes in downtown Montreal as they filled the streets on their way to the office of premier Jean Charest at the corner of McGill College and Sherbrooke Streets.Students are angry at proposed tuition fee hikes over the next five years which will amount to a hike of $1,625 at the end.Also participating in the Montreal demonstration was Sherbrooke’s member of parliament Pierre-Luc Dusseault who announced his support to the student movement in a statement released Thursday.“It is essential to maintain and improve the accessibility to postsecondary education, the students are asking for today,” he said in the statement.“What we’re trying to maintain in Quebec has been the model for decades for other education systems elsewhere in Canada.” Dusseault, who was studying at UdeS himself until he was elected last May, was joined by a number of other NDP MPs at the event.Before heading to Montreal, the Sher- brooke students had voted to approve strike mandates for Thursday and had protested in front of their own institutions earlier in the day and week.As for Bishop’s University students, a member of students’ representative council told Tire Record that they had nothing planned to protest tuition hikes because “most students at Bishop’s are from out of the province so they won’t really be affected by the changes.” A gro L\ stuc J AAnt group of Université de Sherbrooke students will be calling the itarctic their home for two months while they collect data that will help indicate the impact of climate change on the earth’s poles.According to a press release distributed Thursday, the students come from the school’s applied geomatics program and will be lead by professor Alain UdeS students travel to earth’s poles Royer.“We will seek to develop new methods to follow the evolution of climate changes using the method of remote detection,” Royer said in a statement.The professor and his team have already done one trip to the Barnes glacier cap in the Arctic in March of 2011.But now they will be heading to the earth’s other pole in mid-December in order to collect new data with which they will be able to compare the effects in the Arctic and Antarctic upon their return to Sherbrooke in February of 2012.“We will take the exact same type of measurements, in two completely different polar environments.This is the originality of this bipolar project,” Royer stated.The trip is not a short or an easy one.It will take ten days to travel the 20,500 kilometres to arrive at the pole, and another 1,110 kilometres to arrive at their home, the Concordia Dome.Despite the rough conditions, and weather that can regularly reach 30 degrees below zero, Royer said moral stays high among his team of students who are all passionate about their work.Rescue leads 100 dogs to Brome Cont’d from page 1 _________I COURTESY ‘j.„ 'V s*- * % 'T r.2' ., ‘ - .¦ - ’ .v In total approximately 200 dogs and a few cats were gathered by the Animal Rescue Corps in Lac Simon, Quebec.Around half of those were transported to the Brome Lake Fairgrounds, which graciously agreed to house the animals while they received medical care and were prepared to be moved to adoption organizations.community,” the group’s president Scotlund Haisley, said.They then set up a temporary shelter where residents of the aboriginal community in Lac Simon came and claimed about half of the animals, and where the organization spayed and neutered 90 per cent of those claimed.But that was only a small part of the operation.“I wanted to address the issue by creating a model or template other communities could follow,” Haisley said.“So I knew it needed to be a multi-faceted approach, it couldn’t’ just be a spay and neuter operation, it couldn’t just be capture animals and put them up for adoption, it couldn’t just be education.It had to be everything combined.” Part of that education came in the form of classroom speeches Haisley gave while in the community.Another part of that came in working with the “very willing" town council in Lac Simon, which agreed to use the $3,700 they were spending every year to kill the animals on a new paid position for someone who will deal with animal management.The group did not stay in Lac Simon because they needed to move somewhere with better access to volunteers and transit, which they did, about nine hours east to the Brome Fair grounds.“Brome, more specifically the Brome County Fair, was very enthusiastic about providing us the necessary accommodations to care for the animals,” Haisley said.“The fair grounds are the perfect place to house a large number of animals.” It was at the grounds where they were to perform the rest of the procedures, including the vaccination, medical examination and grooming of the remaining animals, and prepare the majority of them to be placed with partner organizations for adoption.And while the group took 100 or so animals with them to Brome, that number actually grew as a dog gave birth to 9 puppies on Thursday morning.While this $60,000 operation, which is now in its last leg, will have taken about two weeks to complete on the ground in Quebec, it is the culmination of months of planning, j j Haisley said he first heard about the mass killing of roaming dogs, that communities like Lac Simon had participated in, while on a puppy mill raid in Quebec in 2008.He immediately knew he wanted to try and get involved with this issue and said he had been looking for eight or nine months before selecting the Lac Simon community as the locale for this operation.Then, after approximately three months of logistical planning, part of the group drove over four days up from Tennessee in a U-Haul carrying all their equipment to Lac Simon, including the cages, crates, food and water bowls and cleaning and medical supplies, a trip they will have to soon make again in the opposite direction.They were met there by some of the nearly 50 volunteers who worked on the operation, and came anywhere from Nova Scotia to Texas.In Lac Simon and in Brome, the volunteers, none of whom are paid, have been working around the clock he said.“Overall it’s been an incredible initiative, an incredible effort with many people involved,” Haisley stated, adding that the people of Brome have consistently encouraged them and shown compassion for their efforts and for the animals.More information, photos and a video from the rescue can be found at the organization’s website animalres- Ticket Give Away!

federal government’s programs and services for veterans and their families ’ falls woefully short of meeting their needs.Looking after veterans: Federal government must do much better By Peter StofFer In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, our nations’ thoughts will turn to the contributions of the men and women who served our country and gave their lives in times of war, armed conflicts, and peace.Millions of Canadians will gather at cenotaphs, community centres.Legion and Army, Navy and Airforce Veterans halls to honour the living, remember the fallen and thank currently serving Canadian Forces (CF) and RCMP personnel.But rewind to November 5 when veterans across the country joined together for a National Day of Protest.This is the second year veterans have organized a protest against the federal government to fight for better disability benefits and more support.What has happened so that veterans’ must take to the streets to demand better federal government programs and services?Why in recent years have veterans launched four separate class action lawsuits against the federal government to try to get their issues resolved?It boils down to this - the federal government’s programs and services for veterans and their families’ falls woefully short of meeting their needs.Even though some improvements have been made in recent years, our federal government has not done enough.When in Opposition, the Conservatives promised they would make significant veterans’ reforms including resolving the unfair reduction of veterans’ disability insurance payments called SIS1P, extending the Veterans Independence Program for all widows, and holding a public inquiry and fully compensating all victims of Agent Orange.The Conservatives also promised to stop appointing their friends to the Veterans’ Review and Appeal Board and replace the Board with qualified members with a medical or military background.“Veterans of Compton-Stanstead and across Canada are still waiting for concrete actions on all of these promises” says MP Jean Rousseau “it is unacceptable to continue letting them live in a state of profound poverty considering the sacrifices they have made for this country.” The federal government is now proposing to cut an estimated $226 million or more from Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) and eliminate 500 employees.I am very concerned with how these cuts may impact on veterans’ health care programs and services especially since recent data shows demand for services is rapidly increasing for younger CF and RCMP veterans.Calls by the Royal Canadian Legion and National Council of Veterans Association to exempt the Department of Veterans Affairs from these cuts, like President Obama has done in the United States, have gone ignored.As the Official Opposition critic for Veterans Affairs, I have many examples of how the system of caring for our veterans is broken; the ex-soldier who suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and was denied access to his psychologist because the Department of Veterans Affairs would not cover the hour long travel costs for the appointment.Or the World War II veterans denied reimbursement for stair lifts to access the upper and lower levels of their homes as they are not considered essential living spaces.And the veterans who are denied care at a veterans’ hospital because only those who served overseas in World War I, II, and Korea are eligible to apply.We are also very troubled by stories of veterans going on hunger strikes to get better care from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the widows of soldiers killed in Afghanistan being denied help at home under the Veterans Independence Program.Veterans’ homelessness is also on the rise and more veterans are using food banks.In the Prime Minister's own city of Calgary, volunteers have organized a food bank specifically for veterans and their families.In 2005, it served 58 veterans and in 2010 it served over 200.New Democrats

access to veterans’ hospitals, reforms to the New Veterans Charter, an increase for funeral expenses, action on veterans’ homelessness and a public inquiry into the Department’s breach of privacy with veterans’ medical records.We continue to ask the government to end the clawback of retired and disabled CF and RCMP service pensions, extend the Veterans Independence Program to RCMP veterans, grant ‘marriage after 60’ pension and health benefits, provide better care for those suffering from PTSD, shorten wait-times for disability applications, extend vacation fairness for retired CF members, and eliminate or reform the Veterans Review and Appeal Board.The NDP have many more ideas to improve veterans’ benefits and we advocate for a system that would evolve with the changing health care needs of veterans and expand access to programs and services.The federal government must do much more to provide better programs and services for veterans, RCMP members, and their families and ensure they are properly cared for from the moment they sign up to the moment they pass Letter Dear Editor: On November 11 we pay tribute to the members of the armed forces who gave up their lives so that the rest of us could live ours in freedom.We might have expected that such ultimate selflessness and self-sacrifice might have conferred upon our societies the wisdom to truly value life and liberty.Unfortunately, after World War II, the West turned its back on its hard-won freedom and voluntarily succumbed to a dictatorship of relativism that recognizes nothing as being morally definitive.The result has been away.For these brave men and women.Remembrance Day is every day.Lest we forget.Peter Staffer is currently a member of the New Democratic Party caucus in the Canadian

newsroom@sherbrookerecord .com Friday, NovéMTrer 11, 2011 Phge-7‘ Columnist Remembrance is more mysterious to me today than ever.More personal.Darker.Solemn.Remembrance Day isn’t what it used to be Steven Black I’ve been trying to remember my first recollection of Remembrance Day.My memories are distant and foggy but the image that comes to mind is one of a solemn service in our home church on the Danforth, in Toronto.I don’t remember church services in those days as being particularly grim, but on this Remembrance Day it had a mystical and mysterious air.I remember the prolonged silence - hardly ever a willing experience for a child - with a big, stern man in a skirt and tall fur hat standing alert before us as if ready to smash any giggle, whisper or smile.His bagpipes’ skirl claimed the vaulted space and would tolerate no rival.Like my first experience watching a Communion service, both spoke of lives lost for our freedom and the sober ritual impressed me that remembrance was a sacred thing.As childhood progressed tales of war and times of remembrance became something exciting as we recalled heroes, sacrifice and victory.Churches displayed their “honour rolls” and cities cared for their cenotaphs.Emblems, I thought, of majesty.I learned that my grandfathers were veterans of WWI.My Grandpa Black took me to my first military tattoo where hundreds of pipers and drummers marched in precision and movement and rhythm pulsed through my little body amid the thrilled spectators.I sensed my grandpa’s strength and wondered at what it was like in the trenches of northern Europe.Later, I learned that a friend’s father piloted Lancaster bombers in WWII.I became fascinated with the air war and the London Blitz, building airplane models, carefully painting them in appropriate camouflage or invasion stripes, scarring them with signs of battle damage.With British roots I came to love the heroics of little England that stood alone against the ruthless enemy.Or so I thought.Tales of North Atlantic convoys and the perils and discomforts that were required to supply the little island immersed me in my childish imagination.WWII became the war that justified war.Could there have been a more noble cause than to defeat Adolf Hitler?The costs were great but so was the cause.Standing in remembrance seemed then to be all about honouring the fight for freedom and justice.It was about heroes and sacrifice and victory to the good guys.Through this time the Korean War and its deadly toll didn’t even register for me.I’m not sure why, except that perhaps we weren’t quite as confident about its nobility as we seemed to be regarding WWII.It was the era of the Vietnam War and the peace movement when even the act of remembrance was scorned by some as glorifying war - even justifying it.Korea, I guess, seemed very close to the same horrible war of Viet- Remembering shining brass uniform buttons By Claudia Villemaire Richmond During WWII, the soldiers would rally, filling the parade floor at the armory on Belvedere Street.Les Fusiliers de Sherbrooke, reservists who had enlisted and some who were not allowed to join the active force, would nevertheless, struggle through battlefield tactics and strategies, set up stuffed dummies at one end of the huge space, with obstacles set up between them and the imaginary enemies, a sound system with ear-piercing sounds of dropping mortars and shell fire, explosions and the deafening roar of armoured tank motors.The order would sound more like a shriek but it seemed to have the desired effect.Men in battledress with rifles at the ready and bayonets fixed would rush like a sudden flood out of their hiding places at the other end of the armory, rush and tumble over obstacles, themselves screaming their version of a war cry, and, reaching their target, begin the onslaught of hand-to-hand battle using their rifle like a club, hacking and jab- bing at the stuffed dummies until the order came to “stand down.” My dad, whose management position at a mill where government contracts required a steady supply of such things as uniforms, sewing thread, boots, belts and anklets, was kept at home, taking care of production and personnel.Personally, my role in the war effort was equally important, according to my father.My task was shining those endless brass buttons on his uniforms, battle dress and parade.There was always inspection on training days, men in uniform lined up in perfect position, every brass button glimmering under the lights, boots polished to a mirror finish.Now this was no easy task for a four-year-old.Uniforms were made of pure wool, heavy cloth, buttons were sometimes in double rows, and there must absolutely be no trace of the Brasso or stain of a damp cloth anywhere.He patiently showed me how to use the copper shield, about eight inches long with a slot opening up the middle of this essential tool, about four inches wide.If you bunched ConTd on page 8 nam and perhaps there was a certain embarrassment about it.1 don’t know, I was a child storming the beaches with John Wayne.Trapper John was years later.Canada was noted for its Peace Keepers - a noble force if there ever was one.They were a point of pride.Over time and into adulthood I got to know both veterans and civilians who experienced war first hand.I learned more of my own relatives’ stories.I heard a few of the memories sparingly offered to me as a person who had never experienced such things.I saw the way war might end but its scarring effect continued.These men and women would not permit me to remain in a world of romantic naiveté about war.There remained behind their photos and medals and brief glimpses, something far more monumental and brooding that I am glad I have not yet understood.As a pastor I was given responsibility for remembrance commemorations in church services and participated in public services on November 11.Each time I have wondered about what could be organized that would respect the tradition but in a fresh way to assure that it would be meaningful.I have put up crosses, taught children about the poppy, read poems, engaged veterans in readings and stood outdoors on gloomy, cold days in solemn company.I have also wondered about what could be said or prayed, or read that wouldn’t seem trite or disrespectful - grateful for the power of tradition to carry' such burden.Here I am half a century from my earliest memories and we have just concluded about 10 years in Afghanistan.This war doesn’t flatter us with the images of good vs.evil and a just war.This one was less pristine that my childish perceptions were of earlier wars.The cost in shear numbers was far lower than that of the two World Wars but we have been forced to see the cost to fellow Canadians and their families and the suffering of Afghanis themselves.The quiet scenes along the “Highway of Heroes” sadden me rather than embolden me.We have been unsure about the true motives of our western powers over and against our stated ones.Furthermore, we don’t have a “victory" to justify it.We see no signs that we will be friends like we have become to our former German, Italian and Japanese foes.It makes the cost of lives worse in a way.Wanting to honour our men and women, we fear dishonouring them by losing the war or questioning its merit.Remembrance is more mysterious to me today than ever.More personal.Darker.Solemn.Its wistful presence grips me as I wonder about the privilege of my life, and what it has cost to make it possible.The red of the poppy is worn today with thoughts of the sacred blood once bright, that was spilled.I will remember.Hey, Snowbirds!

I « • « • » Page 8 Friday, November 11, 2011 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com ; The Record Do you take the time.to remember?The Scoop Mable Hastings “In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row.” When I was a child, I remember memorizing this poem as part of Irene Bleser’s class at Sutton Elementary School, in honour of Remembrance Day.I remember learning in detail about Major John McCrae (November 30, 1872-January 28,1918), who had penned the poem in 1915.McCrae was second in command of the 1st Brigade Canadian Field Artillery during the Second Battle of Ypres in April and May of 1915.He was a Canadian military doctor and artillery commander.The red Flanders poppy as a symbol of remembrance was the inspiration of an American woman, Miss Moina Michael.It was on a Saturday morning, November 9, 1918, two days before the Armistice was declared at 11 o’clock on November 11.Moina Belle Michael was at the YMCA Overseas War Secretaries’ headquarters in New York.In a magazine Moina came upon the poem, “In Flanders Fields,” by Major John McCrae who had died a few months earlier.She was deeply touched by the last few lines of the poem: “To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Helds.’’ In her autobiography, entitled “The Miracle Flower,” Moina describes this experience as deeply spiritual.She felt as though she was being called in person by the voices which had been silenced by death.Moina made a personal pledge to “keep the faith.” She vowed always to wear a red poppy of Flanders Fields as a sign of remembrance.It would become an emblem for “keeping the faith with all who died”.Determined to make a note of this pledge she scribbled down a response on the back of an envelope.She titled her poem “We Shall Keep the Faith.” The first verse read like this: Oh! You who sleep in Flanders Fields, Sleep sweet - to rise anew! We caught the torch you threw and holding high, we keep the Faith With All who died.I remember as a child, the faces of those veterans I knew in my own area.I remember my mother telling my siblings and me that those were special people deserving of much respect and recognition.Each year, my mom would sit and compose a poem to put in the newspaper sharing her pride and thanks to those men and women who served our country and who often never returned to their families back home.I remember as an adult, my yearly poppy purchase from the late Doug Wighton who could be found throughout the area with his poppies each November.I remember too the impeccably dressed veterans who attended the Remembrance Day services held at our local cenotaph each year; their heads held high, their hearts heavy.Merton, Burton and Wilson Bailey, Garth Eldridge, Arthur Aiken and Brass buttons so many others.I was reminded too, as my own son left the house this past Sunday, age 14, to read at the Remembrance Day service held at the Anglican Church in Mansonville, that as a toddler, I used to take him to the cenotaph to find the names of our family members who served in the war.Ethan always looked for “D.Davis,” our Uncle Dick with such pride and enthusiasm.lt is up to us now to carry the torch in sharing the history, the names, the importance of Remembrance Day to our children, our grandchildren and so on.Recognizing what those brave men and women did for us and our country and taking the time to remember with respect and understanding seems so small by comparison.“To you from failing hands we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high.” Gerrard CAPfTAL 100% GUARAMTEED DISCOVER OUR LATEST PRODUCTS!

turkey on Thanksgiving?” asks Ina (“The Barefoot Contessa") Garten in her new book, “How Easy Is That?” (Clarkson Potter, 2010).Why indeed?Most of us think it’s just too much work.When we think “turkey,” we think “Thanksgiving dinner.” But we should think again: It’s the gravy, stuffing, sides and pies that are all the work at Thanksgiving (not to mention cleaning the house and setting the table).The turkey itself is a relative snap.Try it some time, without the holiday falderal: Stuff the cavity with some savory ingredients (onion, lemon, garlic, celery, bay leaf, peppercorns, what- ever), rub the skin with olive oil, salt and pepper, and chuck it into the oven.Baste occasionally, if you think of it.There’s almost nothing standing between you and a weeknight dinner of turkey.Nothing, that is, except time.Enter the turkey breast.Garten’s recipe for herbed roast turkey breast cooks in fewer than two hours.And instead of leaving you with an eternity of leftovers, it provides just enough to take turkey sandwiches to work the next day.A roast turkey breast is a great thing to cook when you have weekday company.It can also star at your holiday table if you are having a relatively small gathering, or if you are stocking a buffet and want to offer other choices, like ham or roast beef.When it comes to roasting poultry, Garten is a cook after my own heart.She eschews the high-heat roasting methods made popular a few years ago and advocates roasting in a relatively low 325 F oven, which makes for moist, tender meat.Serve this turkey breast with Garten’s celery-root puree (which can easily be made a day ahead of time), a simple salad or some steamed green beans.Baked apples would make a perfect, no-fuss dessert.You’ll be saying, “How easy is that?” Your guests?They’ll just gobble, gobble.HERBED ROAST TURKEY BREAST 1 whole bone-in turkey breast (6-1/2 to 7 pounds) 2 tablespoons good olive oil 1 tablespoon minced garlic 2 teaspoons freshly

RECORD TO BUY AN ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION, VISIT WWW.AWSOM.CA Preheat the oven to 325 F.Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan, skin side up.In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt and pepper.Rub the mixture evenly all over the skin of the turkey breast.(You can loosen the skin and smear half of the paste underneath, directly on the meat.) Pour the wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.Roast the turkey for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 F when inserted into the thickest, meatiest area.Check the breast after an hour or so.If the skin is overbrowning, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.When the turkey is done, remove it in the pan from the oven, cover the pan with aluminum foil, and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.SUce and serve warm with pan juices.Yield: 6 to 8 servings Recipe from “Barefoot Contessa: How Easy Is That?” by Ina Garten (Clarkson Potter, 2010) CELERY-ROOT PUREE 2 large celery roots (5 pounds) 2 tablespoons unsàlted butter 1-1/2 cups chicken stock 1-1/2 cups heavy cream 4 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Using a large, sharp French chefs knife, carefully peel the celery roots and cut in half.With the cut side down, chop into 1/2-inch dice, removing any brown spots.Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat.Add the celery root, and saute for three minutes, stirring to coat with the butter.Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 10 minutes.Add the chicken stock, cream, salt and pepper, and bring just to a boil.Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until celery root is very tender.Working in batches, transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth.At this point, it can be transferred to a container, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.Return the puree to the pot, and reheat gently over low heat.Taste — it should be highly seasoned — and serve hot.Yield: 8 servings Recipe from “Barefoot Contessa: How Easy Is That?” by Ina Garten (Clarkson Potter, 2010) INA GARTEN (CLARKSON POTTER.2010) - A turkey breast cooks relatively quickly and offers moist, delectable meat for a weeknight supper or a small holiday gathering.Photo credit: Photo by Quentin Bacon for "Barefoot Contessa: How Easy Is That?”
