added.\u201cWhat we need is volunteers.\u201d Lennoxville garden seeks loving By Gordon Lambie he garden at the corner of Hunting and Speid streets in Lennoxville is looking for a few helping hands.After years of diminishing support from the original partners, the remaining caretakers at Saint Antoine Elementary School are looking to assemble a volunteer committee of five or six people who will help ensure that the project continues.\u201cAt the beginning it was a project meant to include many different groups,\u201d said Josée Glaude, who teaches at Saint Antoine and has helped oversee the project for the last five years.\u201cWe had Townshippers\u2019 with us as well as the curator of The Bishop's Art Gallery; there were many partners.\u201c Although caring for the collection of edible plants has been a positive volunteering opportunity for some thirty students at the elementary school every year, their teacher shared that, for a variety of reasons, the garden has become increasingly the school\u2019s responsibility.Following the recent decision on the part of the city of Sherbrooke to save money by cutting back on the horticulture budget, that situation became even more challenging.\u201cLast year the city told us that we had to manage it ourselves and they would no longer provide materials,\u201d Glaude said, \u201cbut as a teacher I don't have the funding for that.\u201d The teacher said that the community committee was the proposed solution; a small group of people from the surrounding streets who can be available to provide ongoing support to the garden itself while also helping to draft a project proposal that could be granted funding from the city on an annual basis.\u201cWe're not looking for money (from the community),\u201d Glaude added.\u201cWhat we need is volunteers.\u201d The teacher explained that the students at the school will continue to be involved in the project as well, but that the garden has changed since the first cohort of student volunteers was in charge.\u201cWhen we started out, each student was responsible for one plant.They had to know about it how to care for it and look after it over the course of the year.\u201d Glaude said, reflecting that now the plants are well established and the care is more a matter of general maintenance.Anyone interested in volunteering for the new committee is invited to contact Learning Bar CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 opportunity to explain the security features in place that protect the privacy and anonymity of the data collected.One of the biggest concerns raised, according to Young-Lai, was that parents felt left out of the process and not properly informed.\u201cI think they really turned a corner on being heard on that,\u201d Young-Lai commented.\u201cThere were some great ideas,\u201d he said, regarding what could be done to strengthen communication and ensure that students are aware that the survey is completely voluntary.ETSB Chairman Mike Murray also believed the meeting was constructive.\u201cThey (The Learning Bar) laid out the entire survey, its purpose, the mechanics of it, and the benefits,\u201d Murray said, feeling everyone in attendance was satisfied.\u201cThere seemed to be a broad consensus,\u201d he commented, with the exception of one parent who Murray said \u201cclearly wasn\u2019t listening to what they were being told.\u201d The message received by the board, according to Murray, was that the survey was not the issue so much as the way it was being administered.Parents were worried that it was not made clear to students that they were free to opt out of participating.In a previous meeting, the board adopted a resolution to suspend the TTFM survey until May 4, after the meeting with parents and representatives from the Learning Bar.When asked if they now intend to move forward with the survey, Murray said that even before the meeting, the board had decided not to rush to get it done by the end of the school year.There are pedagogical advantages to administering the survey in the autumn, Murray added.Murray said the board will spend the coming months to address any lingering concerns, and focus on the way the survey is implemented in ETSB schools.\u201cWe acknowledge that we can do better,\u201d Murray said, wanting parents and students to be at ease with the process.Murray pointed out that the various committees involved in the TTFM discussion are consultative bodies.The decision regarding whether or not the survey will be used in ETSB schools ultimately lies with the board.The Record contacted two parent commissioners for their perspective on the meeting, but they could not be reached over the weekend for comment.SS lives here.just one person.It affects the entire family.1 1-800- Multiple

by port attractions to part passengers of their dollars, it is the ships and crew that account for the majority of on-shore spending.Fuel, food, hotel supplies and port fees account for nearly a billion dollars spent in Canadian ports of call.While Quebec City is the most popular destinations in the province by a wide margin, Montreal and smaller ports like Gaspé and Saguenay still share in a goodly part of the cruise spoils.In 2016, passengers spent $13.4 million in Montreal, $18.3 million in Quebec City, and $4.5 million in other ports.It should be noted that cruise ship traffic to Montreal is vulnerable to the height of bridges, tides and water levels.The Veendam mentioned above, for example, has to time its passage under the Quebec Bridge at half- or low-tide.Some ships are just too big to make it under any of the St.Lawrence bridges, the Queen Mary 2, for one.Even Gaspé, one of the earliest destinations of European visitors.is cashing in on the cruise craze.Thirty ships visited the historic port last year, including the Queen Mary 2, bringing a total of 20,600 passengers and 12,000 crew.Gaspé, incidentally, will be one of the several stops an international flotilla of tall ships will be making along the St.Lawrence this summer, as they sail their way to the big Rendez-vous 2017 regatta in Quebec City in July.The 40-ship parade is said to be the largest gathering of sea-going vessels in the city since 1984.That summer some 67 ships gathered in the place to which Jacques Cartier, who gave the St.Lawrence its name, navigated the Grande Hermine in 1535.Flood fighting continues in Central, Fastern and Western Canada The Canadian Press cross the country, thousands of Canadians are spending the week- nd in a desperate struggle with rising floodwaters caused by unusually persistent rainfall.Floodwaters in Quebec are expected to peak today due to continued rain in most of the affected areas.THE 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIM 2E2 Fax: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON McCulLy PUBLISHER STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN ee (819) 569-9511 ce (819) 569-6345 cee (819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .vvieieinninnnnnn (819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .covvvvunnnnnn.(819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION .cvvvvunnnn.(819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM .covvnvunnnn.(819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VicroriA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, JOE 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST 6.78 13.53 356 710 1.81 3.60 TOTAL $155.91 $81.85 $41.57 135.60 71.19 36.16 1 YEAR 6 MONTHS 3 MONTHS QUEBEC: ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS 1 YEAR 71.50 3.58 7.13 $82.21 1 MONTH 649 032 0.65 $7.46 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.QUEBEC: The Record was founded on February 9, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA In total, nearly 1,900 homes are flooded in 126 municipalities.More than a thousand residents were evacuated and more than 400 roads are affected.The Canadian Armed Forces today says it will double its staff to help flood victims in Quebec.More than 400 army personnel were deployed to the western and central part of the province Saturday as high water threatened hundreds of residences, including some in the Montreal area.Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre says the city has 30 Canadian Forces personnel helping firefighters and other emergency responders with the flood response.The town of Rigaud near Montreal has been the most affected and a state of emergency has been in place for several days.Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard visited the town Saturday and urged people to heed authorities if they recommend they leave their homes.In Atlantic Canada, New Brunswick has taken the hardest hit with 100 millimetres of rain falling in some areas in just two days _ and Environment Canada warns there's more to come today.In British Columbia, rain combined with warm temperatures have accelerated the melting of the snowpack, which has resulted in flooding and mudslides throughout the province.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter!

Apple Cider Vinegar\u2019s Benefits Still Not Fully Known ASK THE DOCTORS By Robert Ashley, M.D.Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off Text only: $16.00 (includes taxes) WEDDING WRITE-UPS: Dear Doctor: What are the benefits of apple cider vinegar?I hear about it on social media, but I don\u2019t understand how vinegar can lead to weight loss or help me control my blood sugar.Dear Reader: My mom is a big proponent of apple cider vinegar.She likes to put it on her salads and vegetables, or just drink a spoonful of it.I am somewhat dubious about her claims of its health benefits, but I am also skeptical of my own resistance to accepting her belief.Vinegar is created by the fermentation of many natural substances, including grapes, sugar cane, rice and, in this case, apples.The fermentation process produces acetic acid of various concentrations.With apple cider vinegar, the acidity is fairly high \u2014 at a pH of about 3 on a scale of 0 to 14 (a pH of 1 to 7 1s acidic).Apple cider vinegar also contains many polyphenols, or plant-based compounds.These antioxidant compounds have been shown to decrease blood pressure in laboratory animals, improve the ability to metabolize sugar and have beneficial effects on cholesterol.Now let\u2019s analyze the potential medical benefits of apple cider vinegar.In one interesting study, researchers removed the ovaries of mice to increase their oxidative stress and to mimic BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 40¢ per word.Minimum charge $10.00 ($11.50 taxes included) With photo:

another group was not.The mice given apple cider vinegar had improvements in their cholesterol; a decrease in the oxidation of LDL, the so-called \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol; and an increase in the antioxidant glutathione.However, there were only 10 mice in each of the groups, so the numbers don\u2019t carry much power.In a French study of rats fed a high-fat diet and apple cider vinegar, researchers found a decrease in blood sugar and benefits in all cholesterol numbers \u2014 triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol.Researchers also found in the apple cider vinegar group a decrease in food intake and a decrease in body weight.The authors proposed that apple cider vinegar had an effect of reducing appetite.Again, the number of rats in the study was small, with only six in the apple cider vinegar group.Obviously, rodents are not humans, but that said, many studies of humans have shown that vinegar reduces the glycemic response and the glycemic index of sugars and carbohydrates.Vinegar itself may help lower blood sugar, but the mechanism of action is not understood.Along those lines, a 2004 study looked at 11 patients who had insulin re- RATES and DEADLINES:

diabetes.Compared with a placebo, apple cider vinegar improved patients\u2019 insulin sensitivity, meaning that it improved insulin\u2019s ability to bring sugar out of the bloodstream and into the cells of the body.Also, apple cider vinegar decreased the rise of both sugar and insulin when the subjects were given a bagel and orange juice \u2014 normally in- sulin- and glucose-spiking foods.Lastly, in a Swedish study of 12 healthy males given bread both with and without white vinegar, those who consumed the vinegar showed a lowering of blood sugar and insulin.Those who consumed the vinegar also felt full more quickly.So the benefit of apple cider vinegar may be in vinegar itself, not anything specific to the vinegar from the fermentation of apples.But because the studies above didn\u2019t all concern humans and weren\u2019t conducted long-term, it\u2019s difficult to make a conclusion about the benefits of apple cider vinegar or any other vinegar.(Robert Ashley, M.D., is an

65.So why do many drivers try to merge at 50 or 55?It increases the risk of an accident.At the bridge table, though, if you are playing against a speedy opponent, do not try to match him.Take your time; do not be rushed into a mistake.In this deal, for example, how should East plan the defense against three no-trump after West leads the spade nine, and South immediately calls for dummy\u2019s singleton?South has a normal-looking two-no- trump opening, although his ace-king count is high.If you take two points for an ace and one for a king, the opener will normally have seven points; this hand has eight, which is the usual number for a two-club opening followed by a two-no- trump rebid.But it would be quite some upgrade to open two clubs.After North\u2019s thin raise to game, East might have risked a double, which would have said that he had a solid suit and hoped partner could find it.Typically, though, this would have been a major suit because the responder had not used
