a thrilling journey with illusionist Ted Outerbridge and lead assistant since 1999, his partner off-stage since 2006, Marion Outerbridge.Performing around the world for three-and-a-half decades, Ted Outer-bridge has received impressive praise -\u201cTouring Artist of the Year\u201d (BC Tourism Council), Award of Excellence 2011 (Ontario Contact), \u201cCrazy, Impressive, Fantastic\u201d (Global News Toronto), and \u201cMost Successful Professional Magician in Canada\u201d (The Gazette), and continues to be nominated for recognition, recently, \u201cOutstanding achievement in the pursuit of the impossible\u201d (nomination for an Allan Slaight award, by Phil Matlin).While the Outerbridges\u2019 performance is designed for a large stage show, on this occasion they take on the most risky illusion work in this Sunday afternoon\u2019s dramatics - by staging a performance intimately surrounded by their audience -the mark of true craftsweavers; requiring the ultimate in precision and timing.Designed for the family, the Outer-bridges\u2019 large scale theatrics bound into the magical stature of the Lakeview Inn has been rumoured to involve an audience member or two in its acts.Audience pus, rather than gatherings all over town.The arrival of Champlain students presents a unique challenge, Price said, explaining that a significant number of the students are under age and could be away from home for the first time.\u201cLocal establishments are very careful about that,\u201d Price assured, insisting that they are trained to ask for at least two pieces of ID before serving or selling alcohol.Provigo owner Robert Lafond said the return of the students to Lennoxville brings the town back to life.\u201cIt\u2019s a fun dynamic,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s a big difference, you have to plan for it,\u201d Lafond said, adding that it means hir- COURTESY Ted and Marion Outerbridge members may choose from a 2:00 p.m.performance; or an evening show at 7:30 p.m.Add to the fun with dressing up in style for this all-ages show, come ready to be transported where only the Outer-bridges can take you.To reserve tickets, please call 450-242-1412.ing more staff.Lafond has owned Provigo for the past six years, and is now used to the huge influx of shoppers in the fall.\u201cThe majority aren\u2019t back yet,\u201d he said, explaining that Champlain is just the tip of the iceberg.\u201cNext week will be busy,\u201d Lafond said.When asked if the arrival of the students meant changes on his shelves, Lafond said Provigo keeps the same variety of products 12 months a year; he did, however, add that there would be an increase in the volume of some of his orders, based on what consumables the students gravitate towards.\u201cIt\u2019s good for the town,\u201d Lafond said, happy about the population boost.GRANMA,MY legs realty HURT/, \"hum Ben by Daniel Shelton IP SAY GIVEN ^ YOUR AGE, THESES' NOTHING TO MURRY ABOUT.,, THESE ARE prosasly growing FAINS.ITS PERFECTLY NORMAL WHEN OUR ROPES UNPEROO CHANGES LIKE THAT/, IN THAT CASE, GIVEN M AGE, THESE MUST EE SHRINKING ©UWST\u201e oressl^AHJ Printed and distribut PressReader.com ?ad by PressReader + 1 604 278 4604 ND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW A The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, August 23, 2016 Page 3 ^QCAI The 2016 goal having been set at last year\u2019s high-water mark of $50,000, the fundraiser fell short by nearly $13,000.Frédérick Duguay bike tour brings in $37,000 By Gordon Lambie The fourteenth annual Frédérick Duguay bike tour wrapped up on Friday afternoon, raising just over $37,000 for the ongoing fight against muscular dystrophy.According to Sherbrooke firefighter Bruce Porter the tour went very well this year, with 17 cyclists riding for the full three days of the tour and an additional ten signing on for the last day, 150 kilometer loop.Those who rode the whole way travelled 410 kilometers across the eastern townships in the name of their cause.\u201cThere was not too much sun and not too much rain,\u201d said Porter, who helped to raise nearly $2,000 for the event in addition to travelling the full route.\u201cIt was really good.\u201d Porter spoke highly of the support given to the bicyclists over the course of their travels by local fire departments in communities like Sherbrooke, Drum-mondville, Victoriaville, Coaticook, Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Magog, Ascot Corner and Richmond, among many others.The 2016 goal having been set at last year\u2019s high-water mark of $50,000, the fundraiser fell short by nearly $13,000.That difference didn\u2019t bother the organizers, however, who hailed the event as a success nonetheless according to Porter.\u201cLast year we were very lucky,\u201d the firefighter said.\u201cEvery year is a little different and there are a lot of causes out there.\u201d Porter, speaking on behalf of all the bike tour\u2019s participants, expressed thanks to all the event\u2019s sponsors and donors for their continued support.\u201cOver the 14 years the bike ride has existed, close to $485,000 have been raised to support Muscular Dystrophy Canada and the 15,000 people affected by neuromuscular disorders in Quebec,\u201d Porter shared, adding that although the ride is over, people interested in making a donation can still do so by visiting the bike tour\u2019s website, www.tourcycliste-frederickduguay.com, and clicking on the \u201cFaites un don\u201d tab.The bike tour was started in 2003 and carried out in honour of young Frédérick Duguay, whose uncle was one of the local firefighters and who lived with the struggles of muscular dystrophy.Duguay died in early 2015 at the age of 21, but the event carries on in his memory.Report from the Cookshire Fair By Claudia Villemaire Cookshire CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE Mary Kirby - Quite satisfied with her display and conference on Pollinators Sunday at the-Cookshire Fair.¦ I We won't break any attendance 1 records this year but we won't be far off,\" said Cookshire Fair president Robert Addiss late Sunday afternoon, citing the hot, dusty weather as a potential factor in lower attendance to the fair this year.By late Sunday afternoon, as clouds seemed to be rolling in threatening rain, a steady stream of horse trailers, trucks and visitors were making their way to allotted space on the grounds in preparation for the traditional closing event, the heavy horse pull.As exhibitors prepared to load up gear and livestock, the mood was almost reluctant as they didn't seem in a hurry to begin packing up.In the show tent where Mary Kirby had organized and presented a seminar and display on pollination, there were still folks asking questions and watching, mesmerized, as bees in the display hive seemed to work non stop, fanning incubating 'bee ba- bies,' guarding their queen and feeding newly hatched bees.This excellent demonstration of the importance of pollinators of all kinds attracted quite a number of folks who went home with a new appreciation of the pollinators important role in food production.Flowers, plants, small trees and accompanying documentation in conjunction with Chuck Neville's conference provided a new and different experience at this county fair.\"Im quite satisfied,\" Kirby commented as helpers began to dismantle displays.\"It's lots of work but that's okay when the final outcome is quite satisfying,\" she said, turning to yet more visitors looking for information on honey bees.Kirby stresses the fact that pollinators include insects, birds and some animals who either visit flowers for the pollen or travel over or through the plants, carrying off pollen as they go.Heavy horse classes were varied and interesting with Sunday's final class being an eight-horse hitch class.Grandstand spectators held their breath as turns and corners were expertly manipulated in the showing area, barely large enough for such a long hitch.Corners and figure eights were manoeuvred without mishap, bringing to a close the traditional competitions, in time to prepare the track for the evening's horse pull.\"It's been another good fair,\" said Robert Addiss as pulling horse trailers began to jam up the entrance to the grounds.\"If the rain holds off for a couple more hours, we won't be far from breaking record attendance again - it's that close.Many, many thanks to our directors, volunteers, exhibitors, sponsors and visitors.It takes many, many good-hearted folk to prepare and participate in an event like this and I thank one and all.\" CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE Howard Beaton received the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Rivet family.Beaton, now into his eighties remarked that he probably had been at every fair since he was born.The Beaton is remembered for his support and enthusiasm for the county fair, serving as president and director through the years.;SfeiS& CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE Six-horse hitches -

of young girls in Senegal.Unitarian Universalist Church North Hatley How to avoid being attacked by wild, little girls when travelling in Africa,\u201d is the tongue-in-cheek subtitle of the presentation that Jonathon Ellison will be giving in North Hatley next Sunday.The title of his talk is \u201cClown\u2019s Travel Log - Chapter 2.\u201d And the travels involve drilling wells for women\u2019s cooperatives in Senegal, and making a film about his experiences and how they changed his life.Put all those aspects together, and you\u2019ve got a take on humanitarian work in West Africa that will exercise your right brain.In his clown persona, Ellison has established close ties with women and children in several women\u2019s cooperatives.Working alongside them in their gardens and carrying water with them, he learned firsthand about their lives and needs.He says his work is \u201cfirst and foremost about listening to women.\u201d Those encounters led to a plan to drill wells for the women\u2019s groups that would be close to their fields and gardens, and electrical pumps that would ease the work of pulling up water by hand.The first well has been completed.It\u2019s for a three-acre garden, run by almost 150 women and girls, serving a village of about 2000 people.Other wells are foreseen, dependent on funding.Ellison already has support from two organizations and UUEstrie, the Unitarian Universalist Community in North Hatley.He is also seeking other sources.His project is called \u201cWater for Women.\u201d And then he\u2019s working on a documentary film about his encounters with women in Senegal.He already has video footage that he will share with his audience on Sunday.He will also share his thoughts on how that process gets him closer to what he calls \u201cthe soul of humanity.\u201d And then there\u2019s the remarkable story of Queen Aline in Senegal, who stood up to the French army in 1942.And the present-day queen, not to mention the five-year-olds.Ellison hails from Ayer\u2019s Cliff, and has a distinctively creative bent, first as a landscape architect, then a clown, and now as a filmmaker.He will be speaking at UUEstrie, 201 Main Street, North Hatley, at 10:30 a.m.on Sunday, August 28.His talk is open to the public and admission is free.Donations will be accepted for his project.For information, visit www.uuestrie.ca,

communities usually bear the brunt of resource development.Science Matters Clyde River Inuit fight to protect territory and livelihoods from big oil By David Suzuki The Arctic\u2019s Baffin Bay and Davis Strait region is home to seals, bow-head whales, polar bears and up to 90 per cent of the world\u2019s narwhals.The area\u2019s marine waters also provide habitat for 116 species of fish, such as Arctic char, an important dietary staple for Nunavut\u2019s Inuit communities.Although the area is crucial to Inuit for hunting and other traditional activities, the federal government has approved underwater seismic blasting by a consortium of energy companies.They plan to fire underwater cannons from boats to map the ocean floor for oil and gas deposits, in preparation for offshore drilling.The blasting, approved by Canada\u2019s National Energy Board in 2014, is meeting fierce opposition.A lower court affirmed the NEB decision in 2015, claiming Inuit were adequately consulted on the project \u2014 something Inuit dispute.To prevent destruction of their hunting grounds, the remote hamlet of Clyde River in Nunavut and the Nam-mautaq Hunters and Trappers Organization appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, which agreed to hear the case later this year.A positive decision could halt seismic blasting and affirm the right of Indigenous peoples to decide their own future regarding resource development in their territories, which is central to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, of which Canada is a signatory.This case is in an isolated region.But the threat of massive development in yet another traditional territory is not an isolated case.Indigenous peoples are on the front lines of environmental change around the planet.Ever-expanding resource developments are degrading traditional territories that have sustained communities for millennia, from Arctic tundra to primeval rainforest to arid desert.They\u2019re criss-crossed with roads, transmission lines and pipelines, and pockmarked by pumpjacks, flare stacks and other infrastructure for drilling, fracking and strip-mining fossil fuels.Most developments proceed without consent from local communities and with minimal benefit to them in terms of jobs, training and economic prosperity Numerous studies show that Indigenous communities usually bear the brunt of resource development, from declining water quality to destruction of traditional hunting and fishing grounds.The social consequences are devastating.Earlier this year I participated in the Canadian Indigenous Health Conference, which brought public health experts together with Indigenous elders, political leaders, youth, hunters and trappers.Many First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities\u2019 social problems \u2014 including alcoholism, physical abuse, depression and suicide \u2014 are linked to the vacuum left when communities can no longer hunt, fish, trap, gather berries and otherwise live off their lands as their ancestors did.Despite living in one the world\u2019s wealthiest countries, Inuit face chronic food insecurity.Nearly 70 per cent of households in communities like Clyde River struggle with getting enough nutrition to stay healthy, compared to eight per cent for the country as a whole.Traditional activities like hunting and fishing are critical to Indigenous communities\u2019 food security, but they also support a holistic approach to the overall health and well-being of Indigenous peoples.A David Suzuki Foundation study on the importance of caribou hunting to First Nations in the boreal forest found \u201charvesting as a practice is not solely a process of obtaining meat for nutrition.With each hunt a deliber- RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke,

When South sees the 4-1 spade break, he does best to shift to clubs or diamonds, settling for down one.If he plays a third spade, West wins and leads his last heart to remove South\u2019s final trump.Then the contract is in tatters.West 4 A 6 3 2 Y Q 10 6 3 ?873 492 CROSSWORD Across\t39\tSuffix with Japan or Brooklyn 40\tWater conduit\t26 What Brinker\u2019s boy plugged with a finger\ttwice 44 Cambodia\u2019s continent 1 Opinion piece\t41 Greek war god\t27 Score-producing MLB stats\t45 Knocked down 6 Resident\u2019s winter expense\t42 Entertained with a tune\t30 Is able to\t46 Done for 10 Formal agreement\t43 Unfavorable reputation\t31 \u201cGet lost!\u201d\t47 Helpful 14 Apartment agreement\t46 Oslo attraction honoring Heyerdahl\u2019s\t32 Words from Wordsworth\t48 Jack Sprat\u2019s diet restriction 15 Waist-measuring unit\texpedition\t33 Church recess\t49 High-IQ group 16 River through Spain\t50 Run\tof the law\t35 Online message\t53 Actress Novak 17 Missouri\u2019s largest metropolis\t51 Old Norse explorer\t36 Corporal or colonel\t54 Sci-fi aircraft 19 Israel\u2019s Barak\t52 Ball of smoke\t37 1958 Chevalier musical\t55 \u201c\tseen worse\u201d 20 Costa\t\t53 \u201cRoots\u201d hero from Gambia\t38 Half of Mork\u2019s sign-off\t56 Penpoint 21 Cooking-with-garlic enticement\t59 Mil.flying branch\t42 Fills with feathers, as a pillow\t57 Greek cross 22 First leg of racing\u2019s Triple Crown\t60 \u201cSay that\u2019s true .\u201c\t43 Richard who married Liz Taylor .\t58 Subj.with writing exercises 26 Prepare for the gala 28\tSignaled on stage 29\t\u201cSure, sure\u201d 30\tSagan of \u201cCosmos\u201d 31\tPlace to relax 34 1990 comedy about a detective posing as a teacher 61\tWater from France 62\tVietnamese holidays 63\tHaunted house sound 64\tFix errors in, as software Down P A C ACHE N E ALL R [Â\tH\tE\tm| k\tE\tN\ta1 \tR\tO\tc ¦\to\tC\tH E\tD\tH\tO T\t1\tG\tH\tT A\tD\t1\tE\tU R\tY\tB\t'V' vV\t \tL\tE\tT\ts BOAT T E D R I N B__E R M E A P A N D T E S D L U M A I R C 0__N__S_ [W 0 E _0_| T E R \t\t\t\tGg)\tu\tN\tT\tW\tH A\tV\t1\ts\t¦\tH\tO\tH\tO\t¦ S\t1\tD\tE\t0\tR\tD\tE\tR\ts A\tT\tO\tL\tL\t1\tu\tS\tM\tA P\tO\tS\tS\tE\t\tH\tE\tS\ts T\tJv\tm\t(y) H\tE\tR\tE '\tV\tA\tN R\tE\tS\tT A\tR\tE\tA 1\tAntlered grazer 2\tAegean, for one 3\t__Bernardino 4\tBraying beast 5\tLongs (for) 6\tMinor setback 7\tRoom-size computer introduced in 1946 8\tPerform on stage 9\tBiblical \u201cyour\u201d 10\tLooked intently 11\tHate 12\tSpeck of bread 13\tStart of the rest of your life, so it\u2019s said 18 In__: as found 21\tOne-named singer 22\tNew Hampshire city 23\tFounded: Abbr.24\t1980s Chrysler line 25\tMongolian tent 1\t2\t3\t4\t!
