On Saturday evening, June 8 the Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) Youth program held its annual youth talent show in Potton at the Mansonville Elementary School.With close to fifty youth ranging in ages from 1-13 years old performing, the show was a roaring success.With 200 in attendance the evening blended a tribute to, The Greatest Showman a film about P.T.Barnum and his circus performers and was also laced with a variety of hip hop dances, performances of the past, tributes and more\u2026 Performers included youth from Potton, Bolton-Est, Cowansville, Sutton and Montreal who all came together as one big group to collaborate, cooperate, communicate and celebrate through performing.There was a place for everyone and a supportive hand to hold as many performed for the first time while others are almost seasoned to perfection.Door prize draws were drawn between performances and donations of prizes from: Bijouterie Danis-Cowans- ville, DJ Jerk, NexKemia Petrochemicals, Giroux and Giroux, FamiliPrix Phar- macy-Mansonville, Virgin Hill Coffee, De- panneur des \u201c13\u201d, June Peacock, Toro Graphix-Knowlton, Laurie Hastings and Paul Boivin, and Garage JF Giroux (Shell).Refreshments were purchased through donations from the parents and prepared by Epicerie Jacques Ducharme (Richelieu) with the store donating all of the juices for the evening.The CABMN youth centre staff, parent volunteers and friends provided the dressing room changing team that also did hair and make up as well as those who tended sound, lighting, scenery, chairs, decorations and more\u2026 This was a team effort all the way and many hands did indeed make light work.The stars were bright as each youth beamed with pride and excelled with the delivery of 20 dances with many youth in of them.A sprint after each performance to the dressing room for a hectic change of costume with a refined walk back to face another challenging blend of movement and memory made for admiration and applause as the audience watched in awe.This was indeed, \u201cthe greatest show!\u201d In a time where computer devices, cell phones and quick access entertainment makes way for most youth to find their time and efforts gobbled up as they sit with screen in hand far, far away on the sofa with little motivation; these youth have been meeting for the last nine months creating, practicing, refining and perfecting their performances for three to four hours every week.Their only motivation is to perform for an audience which brings them the greatest of all highs.As emcee for the evening, I stood at one point looking out at the crowd following the performance of, \u201cThis is Me,\u201d a number from the Greatest Showman and I could almost see Hugh Jackman and PT Barnum beaming from the back of the room as they marvelled at Pot- ton\u2019s youth who not only performed numbers from the show but who seem to live the message.\u201cLook out 'cause here I come, and I'm marching on to the beat I drum.I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies, this is me\u201d Mable Hastings The Scoop PHOTOS: MABLE HASTINGS AND SARAH JERSEY Monday, June 10,

included in communities.\u201d LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 periods after incidents, and reduce after-affects that, for example, occur during cerebrovascular accidents,\u201d explained Berthold.\u201cI want to salute those who took great care of us for so many years, our local firefighters.Your impact on our community will remain for many years to come.You delivered the most valued and dedicated work to our community,\u201d mentioned Charron.\u201cI hold a personal memory from your service.One day a doctor told me that there wasn\u2019t much hope for recovery for my son who got into an accident.Today, he is in the Armed Forces, living a regular life.Our local firefighters made that difference in my son\u2019s life by responding to the call.\u201d Charron also thanked borough councillors Jennifer Garfat and Bertrand Collins for their support throughout this project.\u201cWe respected our budget and our schedule for the fire hall,\u201d said Si- moneau.\u201cThe two-storey building is over 800 square meters and the garage can welcome two fire trucks very comfortably.Its location is strategic in order to answer the population\u2019s needs, and the building is highly functional and optimizes the space.\u201d The biggest change for this new fire station was the arrival of permanent employees.The City of Sherbrooke had to hire a dozen new firefighters to be up to standard, but also had to unfortunately let go of 15 part-time, previous volunteer firefighters.\u201cIt is bittersweet.Every single part-time firefighter really helped to the fulfilment of this fire hall and community,\u201d remarked Simoneau.\u201cThe biggest changes don\u2019t come from the people who were hired but comes from the different structure and status within the station and the fact that there will be people here 24 hours a day, seven days a week,\u201d explained Scott Passmore.\u201cWe will have a much quicker response time.Over and above all that, the new first responders service will really be beneficial to Lennoxville, especially with the Renaissance home, the schools in town, and more.\u201d Passmore transitioned from a volunteer firefighter position, to a part-time firefighter, and has been a permanent employee for 12 years as a firefighter.He now works at the Lennoxville fire hall.\u201cEvery firehouse in the city has a specialty.Ours will be off roading,\u201d he said, pointing to the station\u2019s new all-terrain vehicle.\u201cIf someone gets hurt on a bike trail, or a skidoo trail, or out in the woods and our trucks can\u2019t make it, we will have this vehicle to access a person.We will be covering all of Sherbrooke calls that require this vehicle.\u201d There will be an open house for the general population on September 14.Cutline: Jennifer Garfat, Bertrand Collins, Danielle Berthold, Stéphane Si- moneau, and Sherbrooke mayor Steve Lussier inaugurated the Lennoxville fire

fire station on Friday.Friendship Day PICTURES BY GORDON LAMBIE By Gordon Lambie Agathering of people from the group that calls itself \u201cLe collectif Ensemble avec les personnes migrantes contre le racisme,\u201d or \u201cthe collective together with migrant people against racism,\u201d held a demonstration in front of Sherbrooke\u2019s courthouse on Sunday to voice their ongoing opposition to the Coalition Avenir Quebec\u2019s Bill 9, on immigration, and Bill 21, on religious symbols.\u201cWe have a responsibility to oppose these bills,\u201d said group spokesperson Guillaume Manningham, calling the government\u2019s proposed bills irrational, discriminatory, and the complete opposite of what is needed in modern society.\u201cAn attack against anyone among us is an attack against the entire population,\u201d he added.\u201cWhen the CAQ attacks religious and cultural minorities, they also attack the kind of society in which we want to live.\u201d Manningham explained that the group was formed last fall in response to the positions of the new provincial government.Since that time it has held public actions in the months of December, February, and May that were meant to express solidarity with migrant people who stand to be impacted by the bills, should they become law, but also clarify information about the realities of religious and cultural minorities that they feel are being misrepresented in public discourse.\u201cWe consider immigrants to be more than just merchandise,\u201d he said.\u201cThese are human beings with needs who are looking for an open and accepting society where they can be included in communities.\u201d The group has prepared a list of concerns which can be found online (in French) at https://contreleracisme.wixsite.com/collectif.The list underlines the collective\u2019s position that the new laws suspend rights and freedoms with the claim that doing so will somehow produce a more just society.Asked if the CAQ\u2019s majority position creates concern in the group that the bills will be passed regardless of opposition, the spokesperson said the group is not unrealistic about the position they find themselves in.\u201cWe are concerned, but that will not stop us from making ourselves heard,\u201d he said.\u201cEven if a bill is passed into law; that does not automatically make it right.\u201d According to Manningham the group means to continue actions over the coming weeks and months to make clear their ongoing opposition to the proposed laws, including participation next Sunday afternoon, June 16, in the annual \u201cSoldarité sans frontières\u201d march in Montreal.Sherbrooke group protests against CAQ immigration, religious symbol bills Page 4 Monday , June 10 ,

residents enjoyed hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill outside the dining room, prepared by the staff members.Réjeanne Frémont, Jean Kerr, and Barbara Moore were three of many residents gathered for the festive lunch.\u201cIt\u2019s quite appreciated by everyone,\u201d said Moore, who has been living at the Renaissance for four years.\u201cIt really means that summer is coming.Hamburgers are my favourite, but for some reason, we\u2019re all eating hot dogs right now.I think we were hungry,\u201d she chuckled.Frémont praised the regular food services as well.\u201cUsually we have the salad bar where we go help ourselves, and that is really appreciated.We also have soups and then our main meal.But for today we are really enjoying our barbecue food,\u201d she explained.Frémont has been a resident at the Renaissance for six years now and is the volunteer who welcomes all new residents to help them integrate into the establishment.\u201cWhat she does is amazing,\u201d mentioned Kerr, who was welcomed by Frémont two years ago when she arrived at the Renaissance.All three ladies now call Lennoxville home, but neither grew up here.\u201cI\u2019m from New Brunswick, and when I got married, my husband and I went to teach French up North in indigenous communities.Somehow, we ended up here, and I think I have spent more time of my life in Lennoxville than anywhere else,\u201d remarked Frémont.Moore came to town over 20 years ago when her husband was transferred out of Montreal into Lennoxville.As for Kerr, she lived in the country in Cookshire for as long as she can remember.\u201cIt\u2019s really nice here.I love to go out after lunch and sit on the veranda and admire the scenery.The view is great from my room.I see everyone on Queen walk by,\u201d added Frémont.She was looking forward to watching the busy street for Saturday\u2019s Friendship Day celebrations.Frémont also makes jewelry out of her apartment, which she then likes to distribute among her friends.She keeps a room in her two-bedroom apartment specifically for her crafts.\u201cWe have so many activities here.I really like when we have our monthly birthday party to celebrate everyone\u2019s birthday,\u201d said Moore.\u201cThe sing-along activity is so great.You can see how helpful it is for people,\u201d chimed Frémont.As for Kerr, she loves the bilingual aspect at the Manoir, one she says is very unique to the Lennoxville community.Gabriela Rotariu, director at the Manoir, explained that the barbecue is an annual tradition.\u201cWe do it every year before Father\u2019s Day.We try to make the summer come sooner,\u201d she mentioned.They also held their first bocce game of the year after the barbecue.Bocce is very popular among the residents, and they play every Monday as long as there is good weather.\u201cWe have a lot of activities here, some organized by the residents and some organized by the staff,\u201d she explained.\u201cWe have music for our non-autonomous citizens, Wii bowling, art crafts, and zootherapy once or twice a month.Zootherapy is so beneficial to our residents, we can see how it lights up their day.They really love holding the piglet.\u201d Rotariu has been director at the Manoir for two years now, and previously worked in the hotel industry.\u201cI truly love what I do here.I used to say that I now have a house full of grandparents.I didn\u2019t have any as a kid, and now I have hundreds.It is so rewarding to work here.You manage to know your clients in a way that you can\u2019t in the hotel industry.You can really build relationships at the Manoir.That\u2019s the biggest difference,\u201d she concluded.EMILIE HACKETT Réjeanne Frémont and Barbara Moore are two of the many residents who enjoyed the Renaissance Manoir St-Francis\u2019s annual barbecue. Anyone taking bets on who will end up winning the U.S.Democratic Party\u2019s presidential nomination?Oddsmakers must truly be at odds trying to handicap a field as vast as amber waves of grain.Twenty-four candidates have declared for the honour of running in 2020 against President Donald Trump - assuming he is still the choice of the Republican Party a year from now (and not in jail or in self-exile on some tax haven island).Remarkably few oddballs or single issue fanatics are among the double dozen Dem hopefuls.That\u2019s partly because the bar to enter the race is high enough to discourage all but the very monied nutter.Candidates must have the support of at least one percent of respondents in three recognized polls or have received financial contributions from at least 65,000 \u201cunique\u201d donors with at least 200 in each of 20 states.Got that?The first two candidates debates, split into two groups of 10, will be held later this month in Miami, and in Detroit in July, cities in states the Democrats could have and should have won in the 2016 election.While it is indeed an exceptionally large group of candidates in the hunt for the Dem nod, it is almost normal for there to be more than a dozen lining up at the start of such a marathon in American politics.We need look no further than Trump who emerged from an initial pack of 16 candidates who made it to the debate stage.Here in Canada, no less than 17 candidates initially entered the 2017 race to replace Conservative leader and former prime minister Stephen Harper.Four dropped out (including former TV Dragon Kevin O\u2019Leary, and exposed sex- ter Tony Clement) before the final debates and voting.After the 13th ballot was counted Saskatchewan MP and former House of Commons speaker Andrew Scheer edged out former Harper minister and frustrated libertarian Maxime Bernier by 17,222 to 16,577, or 50.5 per cent to 49.05.Bernier, now the leader of his own party, beat Scheer on the first ballot in all provinces except Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, and was dominant in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec.Whether or not \u201cMad Max\u201d and the People\u2019s Party of Canada will end up cashing in on some of that support in the October federal election is anyone\u2019s guess.There is, of course, another important party leadership race underway, but you\u2019d hardly know it.A year from now the venerable Quebec Liberal Party will select a new leader.The vote will be in the Spring but no date has been set yet.So far the list of possible candidates declining to run far exceeds the list of those in serious reflection, as they say.We do know with virtually certainty one of the candidates will be Dominique Anglade, former minister of Economic Development in the Philippe Couillard government, and, not that it really matters, a former candidate and party president of the the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ).Others mulling a run are also former high profile Couillard ministers, Gaetan Barrette and Carlos Leitao, and rookie MNA, Marwah Rizqy.All these folks hold seats on or around the Liberals\u2019 island fortress of Montreal.The party only has three of its 29 seats outside the Grande Metropôle, and none of those MNAs is planning to run.Such initial reluctance to take the plunge is understandable considering the challenge that comes with assuming the Liberal leadership: Less than three years to rebuild a party erased from the regions, polling near single digits among francop one voters, and facing a governing group that seems to have tapped into a neo-conservative mother- load in Quebec\u2019s heartland.Throw in a new complicated electoral system as proposed by the CAQ government, and the task gets even more daunting.Inevitably a new Liberal leader will come forth, and, in the style of Ontario\u2019s Doug Ford, Donald Trump and possibly Andrew Scheer, maybe pull off a surprise.(As a post-script, the Ontario Liberal Party, with only seven MPPs, is in an even worse sport than the QLP, leadership- wise).À suivre, as they say.EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , June 10, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Bernier, now the leader of his

History Tidbits: Nanking Cafe Although not a memory, as legend has it the old platform scales used for weighing incoming produce during the early years of the Nanking are now being used every fall for weighing squash up at MacDonald's farm.MIKE MACDONALD TO THE EDITOR, Last night I found myself in a brief conversation about electric cars and their carbon footprint.This morning I was up relatively early and noticed a jogger going by.It was hard not to admire his carbon footprint.Later in the morning it was motorcycles I noticed, lots of them, including the three-wheeled variety, because it was a nice day and what can be better than a Sunday drive?As long as you\u2019re not concerned about increasing atmospheric CO2 levels, of course.On the radio I heard about the Montreal Grand Prix, the Women\u2019s World Cup of Soccer, the NBA playoffs, the NHL playoffs.The excitement in the announcer\u2019s voice for all these events was palpable.It seemed a shame that he wasn\u2019t followed by a reporter who might have calculated, in metric tons, the enormous carbon footprint of any one of these events, just so we could put into perspective what our little games are doing to our planet.If

Montreal Alouettes have \u201cparted ways'' with head coach Mike Sherman, the team announced Saturday, less than a week before the start of the new CFL season.Montreal says offensive co-ordinator Khari Jones will serve as interim head coach, combining both positions.Sherman spent just one season as head coach of the Alouettes, guiding the team to a 5-13 record in 2018.Montreal opens its regular season on Friday at Edmonton.\u201cWe would like to thank Mike Sherman for his hard work and dedication with our team,'' Alouettes GM Kavis Reed said in a statement.\u201cWe would have preferred a different turn of events, but we believe that we are making this decision with the best interest of our organization and our team in mind.\u201cWe had identified some key elements from last year where we wanted to see some changes, but unfortunately, these adjustments did not materialize.These decisions are never easy to take, but we believe that this is the right one to make.Our team is in good hands as Khari showed great things in 2018 and has a very solid experience in the CFL.'' Jones will be starting his second season with the Alouettes.He worked with the team's quarterbacks last year.Jones began his coaching career in 2009 with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, where he led the quarterbacks in his first two seasons before being promoted to offensive co-ordinator the following year.He coached the Saskatchewan Roughriders' QBs in 2012 and 2013, winning a Grey Cup in his second year.The 48-year-old from Indiana spent 11 seasons as a CFL quarterback, playing for the B.C.Lions, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Calgary Stampeders, Edmonton Eskimos and Tiger-Cats.\u201cThis is a tremendous honour,'' Jones said in a statement.\u201cI would have liked this announcement to occur in different circumstances, but I am ready to take on this new challenge.We have a great coaching staff and a group of hard working, talented players.I am looking forward to seeing our players come together as we all work with them with one goal in mind.''

One of the secrets to Toronto's success in this historic playoff run, they say, is their ability to remain level-headed.Part of that mentality comes from their unflappable superstar Kawhi Leonard.The

Cleveland, Quebec on June 5, 2019.He was the son of the late Rev.David Lloyd Griffiths and Catherine Ann Johns.He was the loving husband of the late Margaret Harding of Saint John, N.B.and the devoted father of sons William and John (Penny). He was the grandfather of Elizabeth (Rick), Evan, Sara and Meredith (Phil), and the great-grandfather of Peyton and Xavier.He will be fondly remembered by all his nieces and nephews, and good friends.Griff was born in South Wales, U.K.The family moved to Canada in 1927.He was educated at the Academy in Huntingdon, Qc.Following graduation, he entered the employ of the Canadian Bank of Commerce (now CIBC).All of his managerial appointments were for offices located in the beautiful Eastern Townships of Quebec: Thetford Mines, Richmond, Farnham, and finally the senior branch in Sherbrooke from which he retired in 1978.He served in the RCAF during World War 2 and returned to the Bank in 1945 at the close of hostilities.Throughout his long business

wishes, there will not be a formal funeral.A graveside service directed by a member of the clergy will be held shortly at the family plot in the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Saint John, N.B.

favorite author, said, \u201cI know I was writing stories when I was five.I don\u2019t know what I did before that.Just loafed, I suppose.\u201d He certainly didn\u2019t loaf after that, writing almost nonstop until he died at the age of 93.There is a well-known adage in bridge that the five-level belongs to the opponents.In other words, do not bid five over five.However, as is usually the case with our game, there are exceptions.What do you think about the auction in today\u2019s deal?What is the best defense against five spades?This deal was played 16 times at Bridge Base Online and featured seven different contracts with 11 different results! In this auction, East was not enthusiastic about his second-seat weak two, but that is the modern style.The rest of the auction was self-explanatory until South\u2019s decision to bid five spades despite his partner\u2019s double of five clubs.If South had allowed North to double five hearts, East-West would have been plus 650, losing tricks only to the major-suit aces! So, South judged well to bid five over five.If West had led the heart king, the contract would have surely made with an overtrick, declarer losing one club after drawing trumps and being one useful diamond spot from taking all of the tricks.But West led the club ace and continued with the club three, a suit- preference signal for diamonds.East ruffed and returned a diamond, which West ruffed to defeat the contract.

I felt sorry for this large man.He was very nice and embarrassed about the whole situation.It had to be extremely uncomfortable for him to squeeze his body between those armrests.As bad as it was for me and for the woman in the aisle seat on his other side, this guy had it worse.He should never have been booked into such a ridiculously narrow seat with virtually no legroom.His knees were pressed against the seat in front of him the entire time.Why don\u2019t airlines have size limitations for middle seat passengers?\u2014 Recovering from an Unbearable Flight Dear Recovering: You are not alone in wondering what airlines are thinking by reducing the width of their seats and the amount of legroom.They create a great deal of resentment of their brand.In theory, many have policies stating that obese people should buy two tickets so they can spread out, but since more than a third of Americans are called \u201cobese,\u201d they don\u2019t insist on this policy.Air Canada says that obesity can be a disability and, with a doctor\u2019s note, will grant the obese passenger two seats for the price of one.Air France offers a 25 percent discount on the second seat for an obese person and will refund the balance of the fare if the ?ight has empty seats.Politicians have passed various versions of a \u201cBill of Rights\u201d for airline passengers, but having airplane seats like the old days \u2014 with plenty of width and legroom \u2014 are not considered essential.However, I agree with you, and I would encourage you to write a letter of complaint to the airline you used.Dear Annie: This is response to your column about the 88-year-old mother whose daughter didn\u2019t feel it was safe for her to drive.Please let people know that if they feel a person is an unsafe driver, they can report them to the DMV anonymously.The DMV will call them in for a driver\u2019s license test.I wish we had known that was a possibility.After various mishaps, we had asked my stepfather not to drive.Unfortunately, one day he decided he wanted to get behind the wheel.One person was killed instantly (my mother).Thank goodness the family in the car he pulled out in front of were only injured and all recovered.If the 88-year-old mother frequently falls, she should not be behind the wheel of a car.Not only for the safety of herself and her son, but the safety of others on the road.\u2014 Mindful Motorist Dear Mindful Motorist: Thank you for this tip.It might help keep our roads safer.Dear Annie: I was an animal control of?cer for six years and a pet sitter for 16 years.I just read the two responses to \u201cMissing Out on Friends,\u201d and neither one of them mentioned that 95 percent of shelters require that animals that are adopted from them be returned if, for any reason, the adopter can\u2019t care for them.Our local shelter took back two 12- year-old cats they had adopted out as kittens when their owner died and there was no one else to take them.One of them had diabetes! I know because I was the woman\u2019s friend and returned them.So, if \u201cMissing Out on Friends\u201d adopts, then they should make sure the cats could be returned to the shelter if they can\u2019t care for them.And then they should let family or friends know about the situation.\u201cMissing Out on Friends\u201d could also set aside some money for their care, if able.An estate planner can help.I know the shelter would appreciate that! \u2014 Lover of Pets and People Dear Lover of Pets and People: Thank you for this tip, and thank you for taking care of so many stray animals.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
