Commonwealth First Book Prize for the Africa region, two Giller Prizes, and the Governor General\u2019s Literary Award for Non-Fiction.Vassanji is of Indian parentage, but he was born in Kenya, raised in Tanzania, and attended university in the U.S.A Canadian citizen, the author presently lives in Toronto, the setting of his most recent novel, Nostalgia, recently named as one of the five contenders in the CBC Canada Reads competition.Nostalgia.The word evokes pleasantly fuzzy memories and images from the past, seen through the rose-coloured lenses of elapsed time.We speak of certain events, sights, sounds, tastes, or smells as nostalgic, suggesting a time when the world was a simpler place, one which could be easily understood and enjoyed.However, in Vassanji\u2019s Nostalgia, the word has taken on a sinister, even threatening meaning.Set in the mid-21st century, the book introduces us to a world where the rich have gotten much richer, and the poor are now much, much poorer.Biomed- ical technology has evolved to the point where death has been defeated, but only for those who can afford it.Dr.Frank Sina, the protagonist, works in Toronto for a big-brother-style organization which carries out the life-prolonging procedures on those who opt for eternal life and can pay the hefty price tag.Frank\u2019s primary job is to treat those who have begun suffering from \u201cleaked memory syndrome\u201d, known as Nostalgia, whereby memories from their past lives begin impinging on their present, reconstituted lives, causing distress and °°9 confusion.One such patient in particular, Presley Smith, has begun experiencing bewildering, uncontrollable images.As Frank notes, \u201cThey\u2019re all a puzzle, each stray and escaped thought is only the barest tip of a universe that lies far beneath.How far do you reach inside to stem the leak?The deeper you dig, the greater the chance of falling into an endless pit\u2014a hazardous operation.\u201d Frank himself is a GN, or new generation person.He has new memories in a new body, although he admits that he feels the body-age sometimes, since it is a \u201cflawed immortality\u201d.(We only discover at the end of the book just how old Frank actually is!) Those who are not GN are known as GO, and there exists an uneasy rapprochement between the two groups.Frank is in a live-in relationship with Joanie, a GO or BabyGen, who has no previous life.BabyGens are born to be beautiful: symmetrical, smooth, and flawless (even though, in fact, Joanie snores).Frank is aware that she is seeing someone else, another BabyGen, but his life with her, while not perfect, is still sufficiently rewarding for both of them Frank continues to try to treat Presley\u2019s Nostalgia, and eventually finds that the rejuvenation organization, quaintly known as the Sunflower Centre, has a special interest in him.When Presley goes off the grid, Frank is asked to report any Presley-sightings, which he quietly refuses to do.At this point, a third significant character, news reporter Holly Chu, enters the picture.She is initially introduced as a casualty of the ongoing conflict between Frank\u2019s privileged world, The North Atlantic Alliance, and that of the war-torn Maskinia, that lies below \u201cthe Long Border\u201d separating the haves from the have-nots.This (fictitious) border serves as the construct for the discrepancy between the two worlds, one wealthy and overly civilized, and the other hostile and violent.Holly has apparently been killed and then cannibalized while on assignment in Maskinia, but her martyr\u2019s death, initially seen as a great tragedy, is ultimately revealed to be a fiction.She resurfaces in Maskinia, publicly supporting the rebellion among the residents of that benighted country.Her behavior is initially interpreted as Stockholm Syndrome, whereby the captive identifies with the captor, a la Patty Hearst, circa 1974.Although it takes a while to develop, the relationship among the three cens Nostalgia! Ta tral characters\u2014 Frank, Presley and Holly\u2014 is clarified in the last third of the story, and it is deeply significant.Along the way, several secondary characters are introduced, playing more or less important roles: Radha, the good-natured Krishna devotee who befriends Frank; Arthur Axe, head of the rejuvenation corporation Frank works for; and Tom, the computerized assistant Frank turns to for help who is oddly reminiscent of HAL, from the classic 2001: A Space Odyssey.There are many intriguing themes running throughout the book: Science versus religion; the complacency of the upper classes in the face of staggering poverty; the ethical limits of technology in \u201cimproving\u201d the human condition; the fluctuating nature of reality; and the importance of being true to ourselves when confronted with difficult, life-altering decisions.Vassanji handles them all with great style and beautiful prose.At 258 pages, it is an exceptionally readable book, blending aspects of psychology, philosophy, speculative fiction, mystery, and love story.You may not agree with the author\u2019s conclusions about what is important in life, but it is certainly worth the ride to see how he gets there! \u2014Melanie Cutting P.S.Bibliothéque Lennoxville Library\u2019s version of Canada Reads unfolded last Thursday, March 23rd, with great fanfare.Ross Murray\u2019s take on The Break by Katherena Vermette edged out the competition in a very lively debate!

Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ), will be holding several scheduled operations across the province from March 31 to April 6 as part of the province-wide concerted Ceinture 2017 operation Under the theme \"Fasten all the time\", the 10th Edition of the campaign aims to remind citizens of the importance of buckling seat belts for all occupants of a vehicle, at all times.Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of being killed or seriously injured in an accident by half.Thus, if all occupants of pis forces across Quebec, in col- vehicles were attached, many deaths and serious injuries would be prevented annually.The effectiveness of seat belts is reflected in statistics + From 2011 to 2015, an average of 70 people killed and 170 people seriously injured in an accident were not wearing their seat belts each year; + Year after year, approximately 30 per cent of passenger vehicle drivers and passengers who died in a collision were not wearing seatbelts; ¢ Men aged 25-49 are significantly overrepresented in fatal accidents involving the no-wearing of seat belts.Awareness campaign Each year, the SAAQ takes advantage of this campaign to remind people, through a new awareness campaign, that buckling up- is a simple action that can save lives.The campaign includes posters placed in sports bars and restaurants throughout Québec, a banner on networks and outreach websites, social media publications, and an electrostatic sticker for cars.For more information on seat belts and the awareness campaign, visit the SAAQ website at https://saaq.gouv.qc.ca/securite- routiere/comportements/ceinture-de-se- curite/.The campaign will also feature interventions throughout the territory.Pa- trollers and traffic controllers will intensify their interceptions and will pay particular attention to the non-wearing of seat belts during these operations.For those who are not complying with the law, the Highway Safety Code is clear: it 1s compulsory to wear a seat belt, on pain of being fined from $80 to $100 and 3 demerit points on one\u2019s driving record.This province-wide campaign was begun on an initiative stemming from a partnership among by the Association of Quebec Police Directors, the Sûreté du Québec, the Montréal Police Department, municipal police forces, and the SAAQ.To follow the Web awareness campaign, the public is invited to subscribe to the Sûreté du Québec's Twitter and Facebook accounts, as well as those of municipal police forces and the Société d'assurance automobile du Québec.30 months for

event because I felt that we needed more music in schools and I felt very alone as a music teacher,\u201d said Sherbrooke Elementary\u2019s Tracey Rivette.\u201cWe have seen music programs grow since

Nature has been awarded financial compensation of more than $700,000 from his attacker Pascal Privé.On July 31, 2010, the victim intervened in the Montagnes-Vertes Nature Reserve to advise a group of people riding ATVs to leave the trails, where motorized activity is prohibited.This intervention quickly degenerated into a physical altercation during which the volunteer received a violent punch to the back of his head, resulting in in significant injury, including a traumatic perforation of the eardrum, post-trau- matic stress disorder, and cranio-cere- bral trauma (concussion).He was forced A Mansonville man attacked while to leave his job as a teacher at the Cégep de Sherbrooke because of permanent damage affecting his concentration and memory.Claiming $1.36 million in damages, the plaintiff ultimately obtained approximately $728,000 to cover loss of wages, losses in future performance on pension funds, and moral injury.Justice Claude Villeneuve of the Civil Division of the Superior Court denied a claim of $50,000 for exemplary and punitive damages since his attacker had already served 90 days in prison for the incident.Privé, who lives in South Stukely, did not appear at the trial to explain himself.He is also awaiting trial for involvement in a drug trafficking ring dismantled in 2016 as part of Operation Muraille.\u201cBill Jarand (MVHS) does an amazing job at

asked if she ever thought the United in Music festival would grow into what it has become, Rivette said, \u201cI hoped it would; that was the goal,\u201d she said, adding that in its seventh year, word is spreading through the community.The concert will take place April 10 in the MVHS auditorium beginning at noon.Admission is free and members of the community are welcome, Rivette said.\u201cThis is an opportunity to bring music teachers together and show students that yes, music is cool and music can inspire,\u201d she said.\u201cFor me, music's mission is to inspire people to be better, stronger and kinder as their hearts open up to the beauty of young voices and musicians uniting.\u201d MATTHEW MCCULLY Your rights as user.- Be informed on the existing services and how to

MATTERS Facts and evidence matter in confronting climate crisis By David Suzuki e recently highlighted the faulty logic of a pseudoscien- tific argument against addressing climate change: the proposition that because CO2 is necessary for plants, increasing emissions is good for the planet and the life it supports.Those who read, write or talk regularly about climate change and ecology are familiar with other anti-environmental arguments not coated with a scientific sheen.A common one is that if you drive a car, buy any plastic goods or even type on a computer keyboard your observation that we need to reduce fossil fuel use is not valid \u2014 no matter how much evidence you present.Like the \u201cCO2 is plant food\u201d claim, it\u2019s a poor argument, but for different reasons.It\u2019s easy to refute the junk science claim with large amounts of available evidence.This one\u2019s simply a logical fallacy.The statement that gas-fuelled cars cause pollution is true whether or not the person making it drives a car, just as a claim that automobile emissions are harmless is false, regardless of the claimant\u2019s car ownership or driving habits.As well as being a faulty assertion, pointing out the many uses for fossil fuels in an attempt to reject the need to reduce reliance on them is actually an argument in favour of burning less coal, gas and oil.Fossil fuels are useful for many purposes \u2014 from life-saving medical equipment to computer keyboards \u2014 so why extract, transport and burn them so rapidly and wastefully?Supplies aren\u2019t endless.Perhaps some people haven\u2019t thought things through.Or maybe they don\u2019t have strong arguments against the need to protect the air, water, soil and biodiversity that keeps us healthy and alive.With a subject like climate change, it\u2019s somewhat understandable.In this \u201cpost- truth\u201d era of infinite information, it\u2019s difficult to get a good grasp on many subjects, let alone one as complex and massive as global warming.Most people don\u2019t have the time or expertise to read through and comprehend the massive volumes of peer-reviewed science on phenomena such as feedback loops, ocean acidification, extreme weather events, species extinction and sea level rise.Fortunately, some excellent resources provide information for people with varying levels of knowledge and expertise.Skepticalscience.com offers a big- picture approach by examining the peer-reviewed literature.It\u2019s \u201cMost Used Climate Myths\u201d section describes false claims and lets users click for \u201cbasic,\u201d \u201cintermediate\u201d or \u201cadvanced\u201d explanations of real evidence.You can also find accessible science on the U.S.National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Aeronautics and Space Administration websites.The American Institute of Physics offers a comprehensive history of climate science, as well as other information.Media outlets with considerable, credible coverage include The Guardian and National Geographic, and environmentally focused websites such as Grist, EcoWatch and the National Observer.Desmog Blog\u2019s timely articles and extensive database shed light on what\u2019s behind concerted efforts to downplay or dismiss the seriousness of climate change.Websites for environmental groups like the David Suzuki Foundation, Pembina Institute and others are also good information sources.Just Cool It!, a book coming out April 22 by Foundation senior editor lan Hanington and me explains climate change and

protection?It\u2019s hard to know.But for people who care and want to understand, facts are crucial to bringing about much-needed change.The silver lining of the irrationality that has descended on the U.S.is that it has sparked a growing movement to promote scientific evidence and science- based solutions.The March for Science, taking place in cities throughout the U.S.and beyond on Earth Day,

Imagine a collective evolutionary leap, fueled by one person at a time, making the commitment to love our neighbours and do no harm.The future of our human family depends on our learning to love beyond all differences.Let's do it! experienced a family tragedy.My aunt and her two young sons were killed in a car accident.Their sister was badly injured and spent a long time in hospital.My uncle was heartbroken.I had never experienced grief like that before.I do remember, however, the compassion we all received, so comforting and supportive.My uncle took early retirement and became a single parent to a six year old.He too received compassion from his community.He lived in British Columbia, but every summer some of us went west to stay with him and keep the family bonds strong.Compassion is not a few charitable acts.It is a way of life, and transforms the giver and the recipient.Over the past few weeks I have been in a study group where we are learning about \u201cThe Charter Of Compassion,\" based on the work of scholar of world religions Karen Armstrong, who has proposed that the world needs to learn radical compassion.As a group we are learning and sharing insights.I am so glad to be a part of a country where we offer hospitality and a welcome to refugees and new immigrants, and where we have universal health care and a strong social safety net.I know personally that when I reach out to help another person in need my heart rejoices, and when I share compassion I am the one most blessed.7 ) When I was a young teenager we ) We watched a lot of short National Film Board documentaries during my time in public school in the 1970\u2019s.One that I remember in particular featured a small duckling wandering around lost on a construction site.I don\u2019t remember anything about the point of it.Maybe it was about the destruction of animal habitat, or maybe it Was just a creative piece to get us writing stories that picked up where the film left off.I don\u2019t remember.I do remember that duckling.And remember the small boy who cried so hard while Speaks \u201c11 0» Ilanmnguages he watched it.I cried, too.The duckling was lost through the whole film, while he narrowly escaped one mishap after another.He was almost buried in a pile of dirt from a dump-truck, almost run over by numerous big machines, almost crushed by a pile of lumber.At one point he was scooped up with a pile of dirt and dropped.His frantic cheeping could barely be heard over the loud roaring of the various machines.This was filmed with a real duckling and the distress was clearly real.I'm not sure what kind of a sick person would make a film like that and I doubt it would be allowed today, but there we were, a group of eight or nine year olds, watching this poor creature, who looked in vain for his home.A few of the tougher boys, the ones who had learned their lessons, laughed.But this one boy, with a name I can\u2019t recall but a face I cannot forget, sobbed out loud.He was smaller.And gentle.I remember him daydreaming and doodling a lot during class.Probably he was an artist at heart, and in another time he might have been nurtured, his compassion seen as a gift.Instead, at recess, the other boys pounded him.They taunted him for crying and then for crying again while they punched him.As many disadvantages there were (and are) to being a girl, I was grateful that I was allowed to cry.The ability to feel compassion for our fellow creatures when they suffer is a beautiful part of being human, for women and for men.Through our compassion we are all linked and we are able to have open hearts for each other.I think about that tender, compassionate boy and I hope he turned out all right.I hope that he can honour his compassion as the beautiful part of himself that it is, and I hope that he can feel it without shame.I hope this for you, too.One word, only three voices this time - next week we'll be four again.We invite you to reflect with us on the question: What does it mean to live a life of compassion?Rev.Mead Baldwin pastors the Hatley, Waterville & North Hatley United Churches;
