Charging Station for electric vehicles in the heart of Mansonville The Scoop Mable Hastings Potton Township is located in the Eastern Townships and has become a real focal point for those who love an active lifestyle in the midst of nature.From its spectacular golf course, Owl\u2019s Head ski in winter, Vale Perkin\u2019s beach nestled on the shore of Lake Memphremagog or the meandering Mis-sisquoi River, the area offers the very best of outdoor life with something for all.Kayaking, canoeing, green moun- tain nature reserve, Ruiter Valley walking and hiking trails, the list activities continues.Now, the Municipality of Potton is breaking new ground with a charging station for electric vehicles in the heart of the village of Mansonville.On June 30th, the Municipality announced the installation of the charging station for electric vehicles (EV) and owners can now charge their vehicles in the parking lot located between the Tourist Office and Park Manson; a convenient location that is easily accessible.\u201cThis initiative is the result of a partnership between the Municipality and the organization, Roulez électrique,\u201d said Municipal employee Alexandra Leclerc.\u201cThe latter advising the Municipality on the type and ideal location of the charging station.\u201d The decision to offer the free charging demonstrates the willingness of the Mu- nicipality to accommodate and welcome visitors to the area.The charging station\u2019s location in the center of town encourages EV owners to take the opportunity to enjoy the area, visit local businesses and perhaps spend a night in Potton while their vehicle charges.\u201cOur Municipality had to offer the opportunity for visitors to charge their electric vehicles,\u201d stated Louis Veillon, mayor of the Municipality of the Township of Potton.\u201c Those planning an itinerary according to the ability to charge their vehicle will know they can come through our town and the 3 300 visitors who come to our tourist office each year will see the charging station and know that they can come back here even when they are an EV owner,\u201d he concluded.For more information about the EV station, contact Alexandra Leclerc, Municipality of the Township of Potton Tel: 450-292- 3313 email : leclerc.a@potton.ca COURTESY uéhic,Uharg@'T'ent mm tj4;\u2018 Ronald Nolet convicted of child

Meet Your Neighbours Linda Buchanan: Prepared to preach seriously, not literally niait se Unir |sS5l lemioxmlle Unit eb Church he Cennojfuille SUNDAY WORSHIP: 10 a.m.Rev.Linda D Buchanan BA, DipMin, MA ORGANIST - MARYSE SIMARD, R.A.Wc tAke the Bible seriously WWW.lennoxvilleun RACHEL NEWCOMBE Linda Buchanan has already felt the community spirit Lennoxville brings with it on Sundays, and is looking forward to experiencing more as she goes through a year of firsts in her new town.By Rachel Newcombe Special to The Record Despite the stacks of cardboard moving boxes piled haphazardly around the office at the United Church in Lennoxville, newly arrived minister Linda Buchanan already looks as though she has been here for years.In reality, Buchanan only officially arrived at the end of June.A life-long Montreal resident, it was really the luck of the draw that brought her to Lennoxville.\u201cI was finishing school,\u201d Buchanan explained.After a 24-month internship, and an eight-month placement at Merging Rivers, she was looking for ordination.To be ordained, you have to have a church.As a minister with the United Church of Canada, Buchanan could have been placed anywhere across Canada.That anywhere happened to be the Eastern Townships, and so far it seems to be a good fit.Buchanan had only positive things to say about both the community and the congregation.\u201cEveryone I\u2019ve met at the church has been very welcoming,\u201d she said with a smile.That smile grew when Buchanan brought up one of her favourite features of the United Church of Lennoxville; a message that appears on the sign out front.\u201cIt says, \u2018we take the Bible seriously, not literally\u2019,\u201d Buchanan said, adding that to her, it spoke to inclusivity in the church.As a recently engaged, openly gay female minister, inclusivity is the cornerstone of her belief system, and a big part of the belief system of the United Church of Canada.It is that message and feeling that Buchanan said she wanted to live by, and impart on her congregation and the community.When asked how she planned to do that, her answer was simple and honest.\u201cI guess just by being me,\u201d she said, pausing momentarily, framing her next words carefully to reflect her feelings on the subject.\u201cI think if we are honest, and courageous, a lot of awesome will happen.\u201d It is no secret that in the past and in the present, there have been contentions between religious institutions and the LGBTQ community.Buchanan herself mentioned the recent news surrounding the Anglican Church\u2019s vote concerning the same sex marriage resolution.Despite the divided opinions, Buchanan said she is happy that there is a progressing dialogue.Progressiveness was what attracted Buchanan to the United Church of Canada in the first place.According to Buchanan, the United Church of Canada has been ordaining openly gay ministers since 1988.\u201cIn a lot of ways, the United Church was the only place that would ordain me,\u201d she said.Buchanan believes that each person can have an impact on public perception, including within religion.\u201cMe being me can influence,\u201d she said, adding that, \u201ca lot of apprehensions are based on not knowing,\u201d or understanding the LGBTQ.community.Promoting understanding is what Buchanan will be doing in August when she marches with the St.James United Church in the Montreal Pride Parade.She explained that they give out hugs during the parade, and they were able to promote the acceptance of everyone.\u201cIt creates some good moments,\u201d she said, fondly remembering last year\u2019s event.Moments like that assured Buchanan that she had made the right decision about pursuing a career as a minister.Religion has always been a very big part of Buchanan\u2019s life.With a Roman Catholic mother and a Protestant father, Buchanan often attended two services every Sunday when she was younger.\u201cI like to say I was overly-churched,\u201d she laughed.This over-churching taught her the nuances of religion, and she found that she enjoyed the stories involved with it.\u201cI liked these stories,\u201d she said, reminiscing about the many times she had heard them.Buchanan added that she saw the stories, \u201cas windows into my own world.\u201d Now she wants to translate those long-lived stories into modern understanding.This is why she loves the sign outside the Lennoxville church so much.Buchanan explained that the world is changing so rapidly, and, \u201cfor me it\u2019s about seeing how these new stories interact with the old stories,\u201d without putting strict religious labels on the stories or the people who interpret them.\u201cWe\u2019re all just trying to figure it out,\u201d she said reassuringly.\u201cWe can\u2019t be afraid to ask questions.\u201d She explained that just because people have different views, it does not mean they cannot work and live together.\u201cWe don\u2019t need to agree on everything to sit next to each other on Sunday morning,\u201d she explained.Buchanan eloquently put into words the feelings she wants to share, and the understanding she hopes to give and receive by listening and learning from her congregation.The congregation itself is one that Buchanan is very happy with.She said that approximately 120 people attended her first sermon, between the Lennoxville group and the Plymouth Trinity congregation, who celebrate with them as part of a summer tradition.Buchanan joked that the large turnout was due to many of them wanting to see the new face in town, a reaction she readily understood.Her well-attended first sermon was centered on hospitality.It took a moment for her to recall, and when she asked for a moment to scroll through her cell phone and look for her schedule, she quipped, \u201cI\u2019m a bit of a millennial minister, as in all my things are digital.\u201d As a community that is used to longterm, older male ministers, Buchanan acknowledged that her appointment was, \u201cdefinitely a step in a different direction.\u201d Despite being a de- parture from the norm, Buchanan has not hesitated to dive right into the community.Right away Buchanan implemented a plan to help familiarize herself with Lennoxville life.Every Thursday in July, people are encouraged to go on a Walk with Linda, in a new direction each time.\u201cI wanted to get to know some people, and figure out the community,\u201d she said, adding she has been pleased with the turnouts so far.Having only been here

already she is fast on her way to being a neighbour everyone will want to know.When asked how she felt about her future in the community, she smiled and said, \u201cI am excited, and I am happy.\u201d

Tim Horton\u2019s store will soon be occupying the new building currently being built at the corner of Belvedere and Rand streets on the former site of Carrefour Bélvèdere, which was torn down in September 2014.The new building will include two commercial spaces, one of which will be occupied by the donut and coffee chain with drive-thru service.Franchisee Denis Bourque franchisee has confirmed rumours that have been circulating in recent weeks.Bourque could not confirm an opening date, but hopes for an opening before Christmas.The new franchise is expected to employ forty people.Rumours of a new Tim Horton\u2019s near downtown have been circulating for some time.\"It's a place that attracted us, where there was a need,\u201d Bourque told Sherbrooke\u2019s La Tribune, adding that he doesn\u2019t believe the new outlet will \u2018cannibalize\u2019 existing restaurants.The new building will be shared but the identity of the other tenant has yet to be revealed.According to the latest assessment roll of the City of Sherbrooke, the land is the property of First Capital.y PressReaderN 604 278 4604 APPLICABLE L AW J press nd distributed by

countdown to next year's municipal elections, is whether he will be made to pay the price for his failure to bring back the Nordiques.Catching up on the interim Peter Black The last such column, dated Sept.20, 2006, was about the debate over where Lord Stanley first made the speech promising a trophy for hockey supremacy.Was it Quebec City or Ottawa?- always the rivalry.One notes with some chagrin, though little surprise, that a certain team dear to your scribe's heart, has come no closer to claiming Stanley's silverware in the interim.One notes as well that in that interim, former Leafs' (and, okay, Habs') coach Pat Burns, who won Lord Stanley's cup with a team other than those two unfortunates, has ascended to the heavenly rink.His name lives on in the Hockey Hall of Fame and affixed to the brand new arena at Stanstead College, in the bucolic border town.(In a strange twist, I ended up with a special Burns memento as a result of another passing, a more recent one.Barbara Perry Cartmel, of Magog, who, knowing of my long suffering as a Maple Leafs fan, sent me a blue and white neck- tie Burns had given her late husband Bliss Cartmel, a long-time friend from the Townships.) And speaking of brand new arenas .In September, 2006, Quebec City's mayor, the ever-flamboyant Andrée Boucher, had less than a year to live before succumbing to a malaise in her sleep.Her sudden death set the stage for the hockey melodrama that continues to this very day.Ten years ago Regis Labeaume, buoyed by a stint as president of Festival d'été, was plotting his entry into elected politics.With long-time mayor Jean-Paul L'Allier retiring - another lamentably premature passing - Labeaume hoped to succeed him as leader.Thwarted in that attempt, he may well have chosen to brood on the sidelines.Fate intervened and he leapt into the vacuum Boucher's untimely demise created, ran as an independent and won the special election in a landslide.He went on to preside over the wildly successful 2008 400th anniversary celebrations.One wonders what would have happened had Boucher carried on and sought a second term as she had intended.It's a pretty safe bet Boucher, known for keeping a tight clamp on the municipal purse, would not have been a champion of a new arena to replace the crumbling Colisée.So, here we are 10 years later, step one of Labeaume's plan to bring back the NHL to Quebec City realized with a brand new $370 million arena, gleaming like an alien spaceship moored in the wilds of Limoilou.As for the team itself, unless there is some ultra-secret deal in place, it seems Quebec City and Québécor (with Pierre-Karl Peladeau back in the game, fresh from his adventure in politics) will have to bide their time indefinitely.The question for Labeaume, heading into the countdown to next year's municipal elections, is whether he will be made to pay the price for his failure to bring back the Nordiques.There's that and plenty of other games afoot, political or otherwise, that this space hopes to track more or less diligently over the next interim.Let's leave off for now with another flashback tidbit.The column for precisely this week 10 years ago made mention of someone who went on to, shall we say, spread some sunny ways on a political scene that was then into the first six months of Stephen Harper's Conservative regime.The column was about a central char- acter in the CBC TV movie The Great War, marking the 90th anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge.That character was charismatic Montreal lawyer Talbot Papineau, a descendant of Patriote leader Louis Papineau.He died at age 34 in the battle of Passchendaele.Sandra Gwyn, in her 1992 social history Tapestry of War, wrote this of Talbot Papineau: \"The easiest description of the loss Canada experienced by his death is that he was the Pierre Elliott Trudeau who never was.\u201d The \"actor\" playing Talbot Papineau was Justin Trudeau, who would two years later be elected in the Montreal riding of Papineau.The rest, as they say, is history, and history has a lot of \"what ifs.\" Royal Male Cont\u2019d from page 1 Though there will be no up-front fee to attend the concert, there will be a collection taken up for the local animal rescue organization, The Pet Connection.The idea to play again together was fuelled by the fun of the idea, but once the plan started to become a reality the members of Royal Male decided it would be best to use the event as a way to benefit a local cause.In that spirit, the band will not play alone on the evening of the 29th, but will actually be part of a lineup of three other bands.Cmon FM will open the show at 6pm, followed by a Chicago Tribute band (formerly known as Exit) at 7pm.Royal Male will then take the stage RECORD 1195
