[" Bombardier museum Page 3 Meet Heidi RECORD T The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 75 CENTS + TAXES PM#0040007682 Tuesday, May 24, 2016 Exploring the Eastern Townships online By Rachel Newcombe Special to The Record The Eastern Townships Resource Centre (ETRC) is ready to unveil a project that has been in the works for over a year.The archives of the ETRC and its members have been digitized and uploaded to an online database for everyone to access.Jody Robinson, ETRC archivist, explained the database as multi-institutional.Members who have joined the ETRC include Brome County Historical Society, the Eaton Corner Museum, and the Stanstead Historical Society.\u201cAny public users can go on,\u201d Robinson said.The site is already up and running, and has over 2,700 hundred digital objects ranging from documents to photographs.People are able to search based on any number of criteria, from names of people to towns.The digital object count doesn\u2019t include the archival descriptions.These archival descriptions are very specific and very extensive.\u201cIt\u2019s our entire collection of archival descriptions,\u201d she said about the database.\u201cWe hope it will continue and grow with time,\u201d Robinson said.This is one of the reasons that the ETRC is hosting a launch event at the Foreman Art Gallery on the Bishop\u2019s University campus on Thursday, May 26.The goal of the event, which is scheduled to take place at 5 p.m., is to generate widespread interest in the ETRC and the history of the Eastern Townships.\u201cWe\u2019ve had some interest,\u201d Robinson said.There will be information packets for the public as well as information on becoming a member.\u201cTo work with other historical societies in the area, we loved that idea,\u201d Robinson said of the project itself.\u201cWe Cont\u2019d on page 3 At RRHS, history is written on the Grad wall GORDON LAMBIE Ellen Perron and Ursula Cadeau, the two students working on this year\u2019s grad wall, standing in front of their work so far By Gordon Lambie Walking through the halls of Richmond Regional High School is not very different from a stroll through either of the Eastern Townships other English high schools, or from any other high school in Quebec, really.The view is a bit different though.In the weeks leading up to the end of every school year, a small group of students from RRHS\u2019 graduating class paints a mural on the wall.On the night of their graduation, the whole class will sign it, leaving a mark of their choosing that will last as long as the paint and permanent ink allow.It is a tradition that goes back decades that has transformed the hallways of the school into a colourful living history of the school.\u201cSome are better than others, but I love looking at the grad walls,\u201d said Ursula Cadeau, one of two secondary five students working on the class of 2016\u2019s mural.\u201cI know my dad has one downstairs.It\u2019s fun to have a part of you stay in the school.\u201d Cadeau is the assistant to her classmate Ellen Perron, whose idea of a knight (the symbol of the school) riding a horse through a grassy field was chosen by a vote of her peers.\u201cI never really thought it would be chosen,\u201d Perron said, \u201cI\u2019m the only one who\u2019s crazy about horses, but they chose it.\u201d The artist said that the idea for the image came mainly from her own mind, but Perron said she did take a look at some of the other murals around the school in preparation to submit her design.\u201cThere are no two walls that look the same, it\u2019s different every year,\u201d Perron said.\u201cIn some it shows that (the students) didn\u2019t really try, but others I just cannot compete with.\u201d Cont\u2019d on page 5 ¦ THE\" RECORD GET a 7 DAY TR1AL ONUNE SCRIPT*01* ¦ Take The Record anywhere with you with an online subscription! iPads, tablets, iPhones, Android phones, laptops!

said, Bombardier museum bursts into the 21st century By Gordon Lambie T|he Bombardier Ingenuity Museum in Valcourt reopened this past weekend after undergoing a significant renovation.With its exhibit on the history of the Bombardier company and its founder, Joseph-Armand Bombardier, now redesigned with an eye for interaction and creativity, the museum\u2019s Director Carol Pauzé said that the hope is to inspire innovation and entrepreneur-ship in the children who are building the future of the world.\u201cThe museum was completely reinvented with the goal of offering a more up to date experience to visitors and give them access to the second part of the story of our most celebrated inventor,\u201d Pauzé said at the new exhibit\u2019s official inauguration.\u201cThanks to these new installations, we are convinced that the museum will become an unparalleled cultural and tourist destination in the Eastern Townships.\u201d While still filled with the Skidoos, storytelling, and historical components familiar to anyone who has visited the museum in the past, the newly redesigned exhibit has benefitted from the creative minds of a number of Quebec innovation firms.Included on the list is Moment Factory, now famous in the Townships for their work creating the Foresta Lumina attraction in the Coati-cook Gorge.The museum maintains its collection of snowmobiles and Ski-Doos from across time, while also integrating exhibits on Bombardier\u2019s work in the field of mass transportation and aeronautics.In the halls of the museum visitors can step into a life-size model of a train, take an up-close look at the undercarriage of a Montreal Metro car, fly a C-series jet in a full-size flight simulator and create their very-own \u201cvehicle of the future\u201d in a prototype lab.The exhibit also features two elaborate multimedia presentations on the history of both Bombardier himself and of the company he founded.In addition to the new exhibit, the newly renovated museum now also includes what\u2019s known as a \u201cfab lab,\u201d a workshop space equipped with a range of equipment from laser cutters to 3D printers that can be used to bring a creator\u2019s ideas to life.According to Fab Lab coordinator Marc-Olivier Ducharme, spaces like the Fab Lab allow people to engage in the creative process in a way they never would have been able to before not just by giving them access to modern day mass production tools but by connecting them to roughly 400 other labs linked across the globe.Ducharme said that maker spaces like the Fab Lab are less common in rural areas, even if the concepts behind maker spaces are actually really well suited to more remote communities.\u201cMy favourite one is in Alaska, right in the middle of three indigenous communities,\u201d the coordinator said, \u201cthey can come together and mix their cul- tural heritage with new technology and bond across generations.\u201d Between the 20th and May and the 31st of August the museum will be open every day from 10 o'clock in the morning till 5 o'clock p.m.The Fab Lab is open Saturdays from 10 o'clock to 5 p.m.or upon reservation.More information about the museum and its exhibits can be found at http://www.museebombardier.com/en GORDON LAMBIE \"Fab Lab\" coordinator Marc-Olivier Ducharme explaining the equipment in the Bombardier museum\u2019s new high-tech workshop Bike accident on Route 243 Record Staff A motorcyclist is in critical condition after losing control of his bike Saturday afternoon in Cleveland, near Richmond.A native of Saint-Félix-de-Kingsey, the fifty-year old man was traveling on Route 243 northbound when he somehow lost control of his bike 2:30.\"Neither alcohol nor speed appears to be the cause,\" says SQ spokesperson Christine Coulombe.The man was taken to hospital where he remains in critical condition.An investigation into the cause of the mishap is ongoing.Exploring- Cont\u2019d from page 1 started the process in December,\u201d she added.While the creation of the physical database started in December, \u201cthe idea for the project had been around for a year or more,\u201d Robinson commented, and the application to Library and Archives Canada for a grant took place in September.\u201cIt\u2019s been a large focus,\u201d Robinson said.\u201cThis is probably the biggest project we\u2019ve undertaken,\u201d she added.The majority of the work was the sheer number of archival descriptions and digital objects to upload, all while mastering the archival management software.The database is a newer version of a printed book of archival descriptions that the ETRC had created.Before the online database, it was the one place where everything was gathered.\u201cIt was an interesting learning curve,\u201d Robinson said of the technological aspects of the database.Robinson, who has been a part of the ETRC for ten years, said that the database was a lot of work, but since its completion in March, it has been a great resource.\u201cWe\u2019re just continually adding things,\u201d she said.Members are able to scan documents and photos or add archival descriptions to the database\u2019s server any time.Therefore it is constantly changing.Robinson said that she hopes the event will spark interest in the history of the Eastern Townships and develop the archival collection of the ETRC even more.The web address for the archival database is townshipsarchives.ca.For more information about the launch event, email the ETRC at etrc@ubish-ops.ca.Compton County Agricultural Society BEEF &
