Belt prices are soaring through the roof! People are even stitching their pants to their shirts!\u201d \u201cSew?\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t be impertinent, Detective! We have a pantsing panic on our hands.Don\u2019t forget this is an election year, and the last thing we need is voters accusing the commissioner of being soft on slacks!\u201d Back in the place where police do stuff, Marilyn was wracking her brain like a dog trying to figure out if it was the one that made that smell.\u201cThink, Marilyn, think!\u201d she found herself saying to herself as one does with oneself.\u201cThere\u2019s got to be a connection.\u201d And that\u2019s when she saw it: that M&M she had dropped, like, three weeks ago.Turning back to photos of the victims, she suddenly noticed, on each left hip, letters raised ever so slightly under the skin, the letters \u201cL-E-V-I-S.\u201d \u201cWait a second,\u201d Marilyn growled through gritted teeth that wouldn\u2019t be winning a prize for dental hygiene any time soon.She ripped a sheet of paper out of a notebook, ruining a perfectly good notebook, and wrote the letters down.She began unscrambling them: V- E-I-L-S.No, they were leg coverings, not face coverings.L-I-V-E-S.True, lives were taken\u2026 V-I-L-E-S.All those victims, without their pants on, pretty vile, sure, but\u2026 And then she saw it.\u201cSo obvious,\u201d Marilyn declared like a tax form.S-E-V-I- L.She picked up the phone, which was on the floor.She put it on the desk, then picked up the receiver and dialed a number, which for privacy reasons we can\u2019t reveal.\u201cGet me the next flight\u2026 to Spain!\u201d she shouted.Fourteen hours later, Marilyn walked through the arrival gate at the Seville airport.She pulled out crumpled note paper again, looked at it and said, \u201cOh.\u201d Fourteen hours later, Marilyn was back in the superintendent\u2019s office.She slammed the note on her superior\u2019s desk like she was placing a bet on how much hummus a hobo could eat.\u201cE-V-I- L-S!\u201d she imparted impatiently.\u201cSomething evil is pantsing the citizens of our unnamed city! And I plan to find out who \u2013 or what \u2013 it is.\u201d \u201cWell, you better hurry,\u201d said the superintendent, \u201cbecause you only have a few more paragraphs.\u201d \u201cYes, sir,\u201d said Marilyn, turning to the door.\u201cAnd Grendel.\u201d She turned back to her boss.\u201cMake them scary.\u201d Suddenly, at the exciting climax, Marilyn found herself pinned to the ground by an invisible violent presence outside the abandoned insane asylum that used to be a slaughterhouse and was now a portal to a dimension of terror (Forever 21).Her plan to lure the evil pantsing entity by wearing the latest in-style blue jeans had paid off, and now she was fighting for her life \u2013 and pants.\u201cWhat are you?\u201d Marilyn stammered unsymmetrically, clutching at her waistband with the determination of a dozen drunk frat boys.\u201cWe are the combined spirits of fashion critics and old-school tailors,\u201d uttered an otherworldly voice that hinted of a deep respect for hyphens.\u201cAnd what do you want?\u201d \u201cSTOP! WEARING! RIPPED! JEANS!\u201d As the entity attempted to de-pants the detective, Marilyn whipped out her cell phone and clicked open an Insta- gram account filled with nothing but young people posing in outrageously ripped jeans.Overwhelmed by the unholy holey-ness, the entity shrieked in agony and began to fade.\u201cDie, you sons of britches!\u201d screeched Marilyn.In the silence that was like the waiting room for a podiatrist with foot odor, Marilyn caught her breath, confident that the foul thing was gone.Disgusted with the ripped jeans she was wearing, she removed them herself and held them out before her, amazed that people would pay good money for what looked like a mistake.She could not help but be grateful, however, for the sturdy midsection that had kept her from being another victim of the pants- ing.\u201cSuch a waist,\u201d she said.Ben by Daniel Shelton Weather TODAY: 40% CHANCE OF FLURRIES HIGH OF 3 LOW OF -8 FRIDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH OF 2 LOW OF -6 SATURDAY: CLOUDY HIGH OF

those with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree found employment in Quebec as of March 31, 2018, compared to 85 per cent of those with a DEC in nursing LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Provincial nursing workforce increases Record Staff The Quebec College of Nurses (OIIQ) announced Tuesday that 75,042 nurses were registered on the roll in 2017-2018, a period that saw some 3,331 new licenses issued.This is the seventh consecutive year that the number of new nurses exceeded 3,000.In the Eastern Townships the nursing workforce has increased by almost seven per cent since 2013-2014 and as of March 31, 2018, 3,153 nurses were practicing in the Estrie region.This figure represents 4.5 per cent of the provincial nursing workforce.The region stands out with one of the highest growth rates in Quebec with about 200 more nurses than four years ago, a growth rate of 6.6 per cent, compared to 2.2 per cent for all of Quebec.In fact, the region has a rate of 9.6 nurses per 1,000 inhabitants, one of the best rates in Quebec.The College says the strong growth in the nursing workforce could be partly explained by the high rate of integration of graduates in the region.In fact, over the last five years, 74 per cent of newly graduated nurses trained at an educational institution in Estrie (notably Cégep de Sherbrooke and Université de Sherbrooke) have obtained employment in the region.In all regions of Québec, the average regional hiring rate is 64 per cent.For example, the nursing workforce in the Eastern Townships has a high proportion of young nurses (under 35 years of age), which is 38 per cent as opposed to 33 per cent Quebec norm.Provincial Portrait The number of members reporting a nursing job in Quebec increased by 0.6 per cent over the past year to 70,489, or 451 more than at the close of the previous count.Of the graduates who obtained a license in 2017-2018, 93 per cent of those with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree found employment in Quebec as of March 31, 2018, compared to 85 per cent of those with a DEC in nursing.The difference remains 8 percentage points between the two groups, a situation that has persisted for at least three years, despite a slight improvement of about 2 percentage points in the rate of employment of the next generation in 2017- 2018 for both levels of training.Over the last two years, the OIIQ has experienced a growth in the proportion of bachelor's degrees in nursing (including graduate studies and in 2017-2018, this proportion reaches 44 per cent, compared to 40 per cent in 2015-2016.However, considering that 80 per cent of the graduates have a DEC and that their bachelor's degree completion rate (DEC- BAC pathway) is around 52 per cent, growth is expected to slow down overall.The nursing workforce is getting younger On the one hand, the top of the age pyramid is now 35-44, which represented 19,140 nurses as of March 31, 2018, 2,400 more than in 2013-2014.On the other hand, 11,231 nurses were 55 years of age or older, 1,500 fewer than four years ago (2013-2014).It can be expected that retirements will decline.In addition, members under 34 years of age make up one-third of Quebec's nursing workforce.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 month\u2019s meeting.Throughout the meeting, many commissioners thanked the exiting parent commissioners for their contributions to the council over the last four years.Chairman Murray pointed out that Waterhouse and Laberge were the go-to tech experts, helping the board streamline internal communications and set up video patches for commissioners to attend meetings via Google hangout.He added that Gilman was always ready to \u2018bring us down to earth\u2019 with comments and suggestions to improve services for students.\u201cWe do struggle a lot here, but we get good things done for the kids,\u201d Gilman said, near the end of the meeting.\u201cYou have large shoes to fill,\u201d Murray told the incoming parent commissioners.During the comments and questions portion of the meeting, Commissioner Claire Beaubien pointed out that there is a lot of confusion in schools regarding what can be used for fundraising initiatives.She used the examples of chocolate and cheese.According to Beaubien, the unintended consequence of the court ruling in the recent class action lawsuit against school boards has resulted in a need for schools to fundraise to afford certain activities rather that charge a fee to parents.Beaubien suggested that the board provide clear guidelines to schools so that they are aware of what they can and can\u2019t sell.Chairman Murray replied that there has never been a prohibition on selling chocolate within the board.Anyone believing the contrary was reacting to rumours spread by word of mouth only, he said.Parent Commissioner Paul Laberge added that any schools unclear about what they can and can\u2019t sell must not have a representative on the Central Parents Committee.During the CPC meetings, Laberge said the rules regarding fundraising initiatives were made very clear.During question period at the end of the meeting, Appalachian Teachers\u2019 Association President Megan Seline pointed out to the board that Massey- Vanier High School had been rated the top high school in the ETSB thanks to its success rate over the last three years.Se- line asked if the board intended to promote the school in that regard.Commissioner Dan Brodie, Chair of the Communications Committee, said the board could look into that and possible arrange something.ETSB gets a clean audit report Record Staff In the midst of a year when the recycling crisis is in the headlines, the Regional Council of the Environment (CREE) is highlighting the 18th edition of Quebec Waste Reduction Week to raise awareness among citizens, municipalities, and businesses and encourage them to adopt consumption habits that generate less waste.\"The challenges of recovering material in our sorting centers are enormous and complex,\u201d said CREE Director Jacinthe Caron.\u201cAs a solution, the Estrie region wants to develop a circular economy so that our residual materials become raw materials for local businesses.The more the materials received at the sorting centers are homogeneous, the greater their value is.This is a fact that is accepted by all stakeholders in the field.The solution will inevitably come through efforts to improve sorting at source.\u201d Sorting at source consists of sorting the different materials separately before they are picked up.Although the \"pellmell\" recovery tank provides undeniable practical advantages, it has the disadvantage of reducing the value of some materials, such as glass, which breaks.Even though the 2M RESSOURCES glass conditioner is located in Quebec, it must get supplies from other provinces or the United States, which can offer clean, quality, source-selected glass.More efficient technologies The technology currently used in our sorting centers does not deliver the quality desired by companies such as Cascades or Kruger, who are eager to participate in the circular economy.In the regional reflection that must be made quickly on recycling, CREE wants elected officials and bodies responsible for the management of residual materials to be sensitive to the opportunities available to us, and especially to consider sorting at the source for certain materials, such as glass, and optimize sorting facilities with the goal that sorted materials are re-injected into the local economy.Environment Council urges better \u2018at source\u2019 waste sorting CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 and members of student parliament will volunteer with the food bank when they put together their annual Christmas baskets.Next up for student parliament is the very exciting and new event \u2018We Are Silent\u2019.This campaign will raise awareness and funds for the way too many children in the world who have no voice.Our younger students will take a vow of silence for a half hour and our older students will take a vow of silence for an entire morning and will participate in a March of Silence on Nov.20.A short candlelight vigil is planned during the march (more details to follow).To raise funds, student parliament will host two movie nights and give students a chance to win baskets filled with goodies.Students will also be accepting pledges to encourage their vow of silence.In other KA news, our wonderful garden project continues to be an amazing success.The students have enjoyed many snacks of healthy vegetables and have an even greater understanding of where their food comes from.On Oct.12, KA had the chance to learn from author and illustrator Werner Zimmermann.Mr.Zimmermann presented three different workshops and inspired us all to show our creativity.Another fun event was a bee presentation by MIEL MTL.All our students learned what bees do and how important they are to the environment.KA students raised over $2,000 for cancer research in our annual Terry Fox Run.The sports season got under way at the Cross Country running event with KA having a large number of participants from all levels of the school.The C soccer tournament was fun for the players and student coaches.The A and B tournament should be just as exciting.And last, but not least, our Principal, Mrs.Gore, and eight teachers journeyed to Montreal for a three-day conference on assessment.They all returned inspired and excited to share what they learned with all staff members.Page 4 Thursday ,

Emilie Hackett Special to the Record The city of Sherbrooke, Animation Centre-ville Sherbrooke, and the Granada Theatre announced yesterday the acquisition of 525 new seats that will be installed in the theatre\u2019s balcony section.The Saint-Augustin-de-Desmau- res city council, near Quebec City, accepted a $10,000 offer made by the city of Sherbrooke.The seats are new, and their value is estimated at over $75,000.The seats were previously located in the Jean-Marie Roy community center in Saint-Augustin, scheduled for demolition this year.The city of Sherbrooke had previously estimated the costs necessary to replace the equipment at the Granada theatre in the next few years.\u201cWe believed we would have to hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovate the Grana facilities.We are extremely lucky, as this purchase should significantly decrease expenses,\u201d explained Sherbrooke Mayor Steve Lussier.The transaction will be completed in the next few days and the city of Sherbrooke employees should begin replacing the seats within the end of the year.The Granada theatre was established in 1929.Purchased by the city of Sherbrooke in 1997, it was recognized as a Canadian historical heritage site.Managed by Animation Centre-ville Sherbrooke, the theatre will be celebrating its 90th anniversary next year.Granada gets new balcony seats Knowlton Academy Traf?c delays anticipated in major downtown Magog work Record Staff The City of Magog is advising citizens that traffic will be impeded at the intersection of Sherbrooke and Principale streets from Monday, Oct.29 to Friday, Nov.2.At times, there will also be barriers to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.Local traffic will be permitted on Principale St.(East and West) and shopping and parking will remain accessible at all times.All services will be maintained.This impediment is due to public work that will be carried out by Énergir, in anticipation of the downtown revitalization planned for 2019.The work will be done at the south end of Sherbrooke St., near the Town Hall.Locals can follow the signs and take the detour via Saint-Patrice St (East and West), between Saint-Pierre and Merry North streets.Adequate road signs will be installed.The City is aware of the inconveniences caused by this obstacle and encourages citizens to plan their trips and thanks them for their understanding. Thursday , October 25, 2018 Page 5 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Last year, students from Phelps Helps, Stanstead\u2019s Minor Hockey and Soccer leagues, and local firefighters joined in the campaign The Border Report Collège Servite partners with Phelps Helps for elementary tutoring By Jayme Marrotte Last week, Phelps had the pleasure of welcoming a new group of volunteers from Collège Servite.Four students from the high school located in Ayer\u2019s Cliff were accompanied by the principal of the school, François Leblanc.They arrived Wednesday at Jardin-des- Frontières to help support our local organization.Assisting the Phelps en français- Elementary Program, the volunteers played fun, active games in the gym with the Grades 5 and 6 participants.After some physical activity and a healthy snack, the volunteers, including the principal, were paired with the elementary students to work on their homework.Thanks to our volunteers, the students were able to benefit from one-on-one support with their work.The benefits are mutual.While Grades 5 and 6 students profited from the support of knowledgeable volunteers, the Servite students also built important leadership skills and learned about the value of volunteerism.This new partnership, which is similar to the one Phelps has held with Stanstead College since our founding in 2012, is important to ensure our programs to thrive.We look forward to welcoming the Servite group back every two weeks for the entire school year.Phelps was founded in 2012 and has grown organically from a single high school tutoring program to nine unique programs, providing the Stanstead area with free educational and career support.For more information or to volunteer, please email us at info@phelpshelps.ca, visit our website www.phelpshelps.ca or call our offices at 819-704-0799.COURTESY Olaf is a really nice dog who has been at the shelter far too long.When he first arrived it took some time for us to get to know him.He was a little aloof and it was a bit of a challenge to pinpoint his personality.There was, however, something very endearing about him.We recognize that a move to a shelter can be more difficult for some dogs and we knew that Olaf just needed a little time to settle in and figure out his place in this new and very different environment.Admittedly it took awhile, but now that he feels more at home, not only is he engaged but he is turning out to be quite the charmer.Now familliar with the daily routine, Olaf can't wait to go out for his morning walk.His anticipation is palpable as he cheerfully sings to encourage the volunteer walker to pick him first.He is so happy to be outdoors for his walks and he loves to run in our dog park.When given the chance, he also likes to roll in the grass.Olaf has come to really enjoy human companionship and he will lean- in for pets and cuddles.In a home environment where he is loved and has a consistent routine, we know he'll be a great companion.Because he tends to want to be your one and only, a home without other pets is required.He isn't good with cats.Not to worry though, he's got plenty of love to share.Olaf who is 5ish, is likely a husky mix, perhaps with Collie.He is a handsome fellow with one brown and one blue eye.If you think Olaf might be the right match, we'd love to hear from you.To find out more about him, please send an email to frontieranimalsociety@gmail.com or better yet give our adoption coordinator Brenda a call at 819.876.7747 any day of the week between 8 a.m and 8 p.m.Featured pet: Olaf Frontier Animal Society CAB Rediker trick-or-treating for Christmas basket campaign Two years ago Stanstead College students undertook a non-perishable food collection on Halloween night.The door-to-door campaign greatly benefited the Stanstead Volunteer Centre\u2019s (CAB) annual Christmas Basket and emergency food bank programs.Although this type of collection activity on Halloween exists elsewhere in Canada, it was a first in the Town of Stanstead.Last year, students from Phelps Helps, Stanstead\u2019s Minor Hockey and Soccer leagues, and local firefighters joined in the campaign.All those volunteers have agreed to meet again this year to participate in a third annual food drive on Oct.31.Participants will be identified by wearing badges that display the organizations involved in the food drive.In small teams, the volunteers will canvas the three villages throughout the evening.Donations can also be brought to the Fire Station in Stanstead or the CAB, 112 Principale Street in Beebe.The CAB will be open Halloween night between 7 and 8 p.m.in addition to its regular opening hours, to receive the collected items.Should any parents be available and willing, volunteers with vehicles are needed to serve as drop off points for the collected non-perishable food items.Anyone interested in helping or looking for more information can contact the CAB, 819-876-7748. Record Staff The City of Sherbrooke was hit with two major thefts Monday night, targeting an ophthalmology clinic and a hunting and fishing shop.Thieves broke through the window of a door at the Axe Visuel Clinic on Belvedere Street South at around 10:30 pm Monday night and stole equipment valued at $175,000.Two hours later, thieves broke a hole in the wall of the Lachance chasse et pêche shop on King Street East and emptied a gun display, stealing several types of weapons, ranging from 9 mm, 357s through to .22s.The theft is valued at several thousand dollars.An alarm that went off at about 12:30 am Tuesday alerted police, who arrived quickly to find the thieves had already left.Surveillance cameras will be analyzed by the SPS forensic identification service.Police are also examining similarities between the two thefts, which both appear to have been targeted and executed quickly.Police are asking anyone with information regarding these thefts to contact the SPS at 819-821-5555 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-711-1800.If, as the old saying goes, a camel is a horse designed by a committee, then the legalization of marijuana has turned out to be a three-humped dromedary designed by the inmates of your local asylum.I\u2019m not going to debate the pros and cons of changing the national anthem from O Canada to Puff the Magic Dragon here, since the media has been awash with doomsday predictions on one hand and a welcome to the brave new world on the other but I have to say nobody seems to have thought the introduction process through, particularly here in the distinct society.To give our government a little credit it has only had a mere three years to prepare for the process and, as we have seen in the past, three years is barely enough time to set up a royal commission to study the new law and no time at all to send out a consultation panel to tour the entire province village by village.So it\u2019s not surprising that how to implement the new law, who is going to sell the stuff, where you can smoke it and what to do about drivers, hasn\u2019t really been addressed.What has happened is that the Quebec Bar Association, the group that represents the province\u2019s legal eagles, threw a province-wide celebration the other day in honour of Prime Minister Selfie\u2019s new law since it virtually guarantees them employment for the next twenty or thirty years.Already, disgruntled citizens are lining up to file constitutional challenges on everything from the legal age limit to a ban against growing your own.And it can only get worse.One of the first problems is a promise by Premier François Legault to raise the federally accepted age limit for using cannabis from18 to 21 for those of us in Quebec.This would mean that an 18- year-old Quebecer could drive a car, swill beer, vote, serve in the armed forces, run for the provincial legislature, be a mayor or end up as an MP in Ottawa but still get picked up by the police for puffing a bit of grass.Legault also says that unlike citizens everywhere else in the country, with the exception of Manitoba, Quebe- cers will not be allowed to grow two or three plants for personal consumption.Quebec\u2019s First Nations have also given notice that they will not feel bound by any provincial decrees on the sale of pot.Using their own twist on the sovereignty argument, our indigenous friends have already said they will sell what they like, where they like and how much they like on their own territory and the province can take a hike.Things really get exciting when it comes to where we will actually be allowed to smoke the newly legal wacky weed.The province says the same rules governing normal cigarettes will be enforced but individual municipalities will be allowed to set their own rules.This will eventually result in the government publishing a user\u2019s guide to \u2018Pot and the Province\u2019 which will indicate the changes in regulations from town to town as you motor along.Sherbrooke is a good example.The town fathers have already published a list of places where puffing will not be tolerated.This includes streets, public parks, alleyways, any place closer than a stone throw from a building, hiking paths, parking lots, bridges, underpasses, outdoor stadiums, anywhere down wind of a gathering of more than one person, non smoking apartment buildings, inside your car if you\u2019re anywhere close to any of the above, and any boat closer than a hundred yards from the shore.In short, you will be able to light up inside your own home provided, I assume, that you have the doors and windows hermetically sealed.Thankfully, a lot of this is still academic since the province opted to control the sale and distribution of cannabis in the same efficient manner that it controls alcohol.The result so far has been, shall we say, not unexpected.The first day of sales resulted in endless line ups at the handful of outlets operating and an immediate shortage of available products.Meanwhile, the online sales department received some 30,000 requests and also ran out of bags to sell.All this makes you wonder if the im- plementers have already been sampling the product.EDITORIAL Page 6 Thursday , October 25, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Sherbrooke is a good example.The town fathers have already published a list of

selected to the all-Rookie team.The Future is bright, 3 Gaiters named to RSEQ all-Rookie team Canada faces stiff challenge at CONCACAF Men's Under 20 Championship By Neil Davidson THE CANADIAN PRESS Goalkeeper Alessandro Busti, who won his first senior cap against Dominica earlier this month, continues his Canada duties at the CONCACAF Men's Under-20 Championship, which serves as regional qualifier for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland next year.But five other teenagers who featured in John Herdman's squad for the Dominica international _ Alphonso Davies (age 17), Jonathan David (18) and Ballou Tabla, Zachary Brault-Guillard and Liam Millar (all 19) _ won't feature for Canada at the 35-team youth tournament that runs Nov.1-21 at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.They will likely be needed by Herd- man for a CONCACAF Nations League game Nov.18 at St.Kitts & Nevis.Prying them away from their club for an under- 20 regional tournament that doesn't fall in a FIFA international window was also an obstacle.``They're players that are now national team players,'' said Andrew Olivieri, who will coach the U-20 Canadians.``We're proud to have these young boys progress into the first team.'' Olivieri said he was denied access to a couple of players by their clubs.``I think it just gives some great opportunities for some other boys .to come in and give it a go and start putting their stamp on where they fit in the Canadian system,'' he said from Florida where the Canadian team is preparing.The Canadian team faces a tough test, both in the CONCACAF schedule and competition.``We're bringing in some quality players.We'll have a stiff challenge.We have some big games but we expect to be in the mix,'' said Olivieri.Canada will play five group matches in nine days, opening Nov.2 against Dominica before facing Guadeloupe on Nov.4, Panama on Nov.6, St.Kitts & Nevis on Nov.8 and Martinique on Nov.10.Canada has failed to qualify for the last five U20 World Cups.It last appeared at the tournament in 2007 as the host country, exiting after losing all three preliminary-round matches.Canada qualified in 1979, 1985, 1987, 1997, 2001 2003 and 2005.Its best showing was in 2003 when it lost 2-1 in the quarterfinals to Spain on a golden goal.Twelve of the 20 players selected have seen previous action in CONCACAF youth competition while 10 helped Canada finish sixth at the prestigious Toulon tournament in the summer.Busti, who plays for Juventus' under- 23 team in Italy, became Canada's youngest goalkeeper at 18 when he posted a clean sheet in Canada's 5-0 win over Dominica in CONCACAF Nations League qualifying play Oct.16 in Toronto.Montreal Impact midfielder Mathieu Choiniere has also already earned a senior call-up from Herdman.The field for the newly expanded CONCACAF U20 tournament is divided into six groups with the six group winners advancing to a second round-robin stage with two groups of three teams.The top two from the two groups will qualify for the FIFA U-20 World Cup with the two group winners playing for the North and Central America and Caribbean crown.The Canadian roster features six players from Toronto FC II, four from the Vancouver Whitecaps organization and two from the Montreal Impact academy.Olivieri has also invited five training players to a pre-competition camp that runs through Oct.30 in Florida.

place on the 1st beginning at 10:30 a.m.President Norma Sherrer welcomed everyone, especially June Lamey, who had missed a few meetings due to treatments.She then read the poem \"No moving parts, no batteries, no monthly payments and no fees.Inflation proof, non- taxable.In fact it's quite relaxable.It can't be stolen, won't pollute, one size fits all, do not dilute.It uses little energy, yet yields results enormously.Releases your tension and your stress invigorates your happiness.Combats depression, makes you beam and elevates your self-esteem.Your circulation it corrects without unpleasant side effects.It is, I think the perfect drug THE HUG (Author unknown).The Mary Stewart Collect, Salute to the Flag were repeated and \u201c0 Canada\u201d sung Motto \u201cConfidence is the best outfit, you can wear today\u201d and the Roll Call \u201cWhat's your favourite picnic food?\u201d The Minutes of the June Meeting were accepted as read by Secretary June Lamey.Correspondence was

gift.Grace was then said and the members enjoyed a delicious \"Pot Luck\" Lunch Thanks to Present Norma for these notes as I was unable to attend the meeting.Just a Chuckle - A Catholic family invited a Protestant boy to go with them and their young daughter to a beach.When they got there the little girl decided that she wanted to go in the water but didn't want to get her clothes wet she took them all off.The little boy looked at her as she ran down to the water and said \u201cBoy I didn't know that there was so much difference between Protestants and Catholics\u201d.A boy, who had just had his Bar Mitzvah, wrote to his rabbi \"Dear Rabbi thank you for all the nice things that you said about me.My mother didn't believe a word of it.\" These were taken from the book Faith, Hope and Hilarity
