winter begins to show up.To help remedy the situation, the Borough of Lennoxville offers its residents a collective cleanup activity to clean up its downtown and parks.Residents are encouraged to join in this Saturday, April 23 from 10 a.m.until noon, to help clean parks and public places in the district.The Borough also offers a free and secure deposit service for confidential doc- uments leading to their destruction.Citizens can deposit documents in secure containers that will be installed in the entrance hall of the community center.The Shred-it company will ensure their safe destruction

with a short interactive environmental workshop followed by the usual cleaning group.In addition, after the event, all are invited to relax with coffee, juice, and pastries.The Orford Arts Centre Renamed Orford Music Submitted by Zoé Achim Orford On the eve of its 65th year in operation, the Orford Arts Centre is changing its name to Orford Music.The decision comes after much careful consideration that was initiated as part of the organization\u2019s strategic plan.\u201cChanging our name and image is a sign of our renewed mission to inspire creativity in young musicians as they join the ranks of professionals and continue to develop throughout their careers,\u201d said Nicole Fontaine, President of Orford Music\u2019s Board of Directors.An amplifier for talent Since its foundation in 1951, the cor- poration has seen the emergence of one principal activity: to offer the best in classical music, from education to performance.The organization has become a leader among the world\u2019s top-ranked classical music institutions, and this is an achievement we aim to maintain.The organization worked with Cos-sette to redefine its brand image.The team wanted to highlight the unique spirit that inhabits Orford and is enjoyed by students and teachers alike.Thanks to exceptional teachers from around the world, the Orford Music Academy expertly amplifies the talent of its young musicians who, in turn, amplify the best of the great classical music composers.A new entity: Orford Music The new name is based on the key word \u201cOrford,\u201d since this element\u2014both rich and distinctive\u2014 is already strongly identified with the organization among our entire audience.\u201cFor example, speak with any of our students, who come from some 30 countries, and they\u2019ll tell you: they come to \u201cOrford,\u201d it\u2019s that simple!\u201d explained Wonny Song, Artistic Director of Orford Music.\u201cIn addition, our logo is based on the formal language of Orford Music\u2019s location, inspired by the peaks and valleys of Mont-Orford National Park.\u201cIt\u2019s as if the mountain has always been suggesting this new visual identity,\u201d added Wonny Song.Graphically, the letters 0 and M are set in topographical curves and are am- plified outward in a playful series of sound waves.Thus, the mountain acts as a springboard for Orford Music: a gravitational centre for the musical world that truly embodies an amplifier for talent.Today, in addition to the Orford Arts Centre becoming Orford Music, the organization\u2019s associated entities and activities will also undergo a name change:Orford Music is a non-profit organization headed by François Tétreault, Executive Director, and a Board of Directors composed of 15 volunteer members chaired by President Nicole Fontaine.The annual economic impact generated by Orford Music in the Eastern Townships is estimated at $2.5 million.Magog turns to Municipal Commission to help end dispute Record Staff Sherbrooke T|he City of Magog, frustrated by months of conflict between Mayor Vicki may Hamm and City Manager Armand Comeau, has turned to the Quebec Municipal Commission to find a solution.Council adopted a resolution on Mon- day calling on the Commission to help settle the situation, an approach that was endorsed by both Hamm and.Comeau.Hamm insists that the Commission is being called on to act as a facilitator, and not as a mediator as she originally thought.\"I refused because I misunderstood what the Commission offers.In mediation, I have already given enough that way,\" she said.Specifically, a Commission specialist will come to City Hall to meet with the council, the management team, and anyone else involved.Its mandate will be to identify the problems and put forward the potential solutions.The process should not affect the hearing to be held shortly to the Health and Safety Standards Commission, which will investigate the harassment complaint filed by Comeau against the City.Comeau and Fire Chief, Luc Paré were suspended with pay by the mayor on January 11, a decision subsequently endorsed by Council.Cops warn of \u2018phishing\u2019 scam Record Staff Sherbrooke Sherbrooke Police are warning the public about a pair of fraudsters who use international money transfer outlets to defraud their victims.According to police spokesperson Martin Carrier, a Sherbrooke woman responded to a private loan ad on the classified ad website Kijiji.\"The victim sent various amounts of money to open her file.Two amounts were sent to Benin and another to Can- diac on the South Shore of Montreal,\" Carrier says.Subsequently, a couple was picked up by surveillance cameras at the Candiac Western Union to pick up the cash.\"The suspects left in a black truck.We would like to meet with them in order to shed light on this matter.\"A lot of people send \u2018phishing\u2019 email or use Facebook asking for money to be sent abroad.You have to remain vigilant,\" Carrier concludes.Any information relating to this type of fraud can be reported to the SPS Investigations Division at 819-821-5544.COURTESY SPS Page 4 Wednesday, April 20, 2016

Bless the cities that have not banned them SMELL TEST WHAT smell?execs attend^ £JIVATE PARTES ,J?M FOR BY TA* WDUSTRY GROUPS AM) FIRMS By Scott Stevenson Clotheslines evoke spring.They speak of freshness and new life, the warm winds of good change, the outdoors, the sun and longer days, and green energy.And they are banned in some places.I once lived on Mount Road in Lennoxville, which is now part of Sherbrooke.I had a clothesline then, and I never questioned whether it could be outlawed or not.I couldn\u2019t imagine such a thing.The Borough of Lennoxville office will tell you that clotheslines are permitted in Sherbrooke, but one current resident of my old street had been told that they are not allowed in a heritage part of town.At press time, we were still waiting for clarification from the City on that possible restriction.I recently bought a heritage farm property in Newport, east of Cookshire, from a retired couple who, it happens, moved to what is now Mount Street in Lennoxville.One of the things they miss the most from their country property is the clothesline.Just a few houses down from where I once lived, they are no longer drying their clothes outside the way I did on the same street 15 years ago.Their old clothesline in Newport is indeed a good one, which I expect they built themselves: about 75 feet long, running southeast from five feet inside the old wood shed at the back of the house to a tall pole with spikes on each side of it so you can climb up when the line is in need of repair.The house end of the clothes line is attached to a sturdy cedar pole fixed well inside the wood shed so you can be out of the sun and wind when hanging laundry.And wind there is: the prevailing west winds whip across that line, making it much more efficient than a machine dryer.What with the woodstove warming the house inside in winter and the clothesline outside spring through fall, I\u2019ve maybe used the machine dryer twice in the four years I\u2019ve lived here.During a visit last week, my aunt was enthralled by two things at my home: the maple sap I was boiling\u2014and the clothesline.I hope the previous owners will be able to enjoy a clothesline eventually, at least, at their new home in an almost rural part of Sherbrooke\u2014and it wouldn\u2019t make sense to me if they can\u2019t.Clotheslines are as environmental and efficient as you can get: no machines, no electricity, no rivers dammed up somewhere, no emissions.They are permacul-ture at its best.Their displays may not be pleasing to everyone, but nor is the noise one can hear from one\u2019s suburban neighbours.If we\u2019re not allowed clotheslines because of aesthetics, then we should also be banning the noise of lawn mowers, music, and even conversation from our neighbours\u2019 backyards.All can be equally\u2014if not more\u2014disturbing than the clean laundry displayed on a clothes- line.American painter Norman Rockwell, among others, included clotheslines in his works of heritage America\u2014in part for their real-life beauty.In his painting \u201cTraffic Conditions,\u201d a white dove has just alighted from a clothesline in a busy city neighbourhood where conflict over a poorly located dog is about to erupt.Dogs and cats are something to make rules about where people live close to one another; clotheslines should be left alone.What is it in the human condition that brings out such crazy contradic- tions?People waste time and money driving to the gym for exercise but take the elevator and escalator when going up several floors at work, in the mall, and elsewhere.We demand more government services but agree to pay the renovator under the table to avoid taxes.We want to save the environment but ignore the incredible power of passive solar heat in winter when designing houses.And, too often we favour machine dryers over clotheslines.A lot of high talk is spent on protecting the environment.But the dollars and sense of action speak much louder.SEW, SCOTT STEVENSON ¦am&m TW'-S .I\" 'mv ¦
