that carries her in its talons to a small tent near a towering scarecrow.Once in the tent, the audience is treated to a shadow play, lit from within, where Doltra undergoes a transformation of sorts, taking on a new and darker personality.In this scene two strange gargoyle creatures are born, and the three emerge from the tent, with Doltra reborn darker and more menacing.The three wind their way through to the edge of the property, where a spectacular dragon topiary serves as a stage piece.Doltra wears a hoop skirt lit with flames, waving a flaming handpiece as the gargoyles juggle flaming rods.Doltra lights trails of flame along the ground, cackling.A small dragon beast make its way on stage and follows Doltra away, where we learn that the play has ended, but the story goes on.Doltra is now bent on revenge, determined to make the villagers pay for how they rejected her from her beloved community.The audience has a year to wait for the next portion of the story, where we will learn more of the stories related to Sherbrooke fairytale characters Doltra, Foumar, Ali and Malvina.Kristelle Holliday, Director General for Théâtre des Petites Lanternes and artistic director for Rivieres de Lumieres explains the three-year process, \u201cThe first year, our funding didn\u2019t get through in time, so we did the project in collaboration with the Rendez-Vous de Howard and worked on a existing medieval tale which fused the story and lantern parade together.In 2016, it was the first time we sectioned it into different elements.We wrote a contemporary fairytale for Sherbrooke.People told us what they thought a devil was (Doltra - someone who is on a power-hungry quest who will stop at nothing to get what she wants, and possibly inspired by a certain US President) and what they thought a hero was Foumar - someone who allows us to see life differently (and loosely based on downtown Sherbrooke\u2019s famous former resident, the late Madame Boo).Last year\u2019s story explored Foumar, this year explored Doltra.When we started researching this year\u2019s story, it became the prologue to last year\u2019s story!\u201d Four activities took place over the course of this endeavour - lantern-mak- ing workshops, and a lantern parade through Sherbrooke (where the main characters were present and playing their parts), followed by a night market featuring 40 local producers and artisans, and then the play.Approximately 500 were in attendance for the lantern-making workshops.Near 1000 attended the lantern parade and then 1000 attended the night market for an impressive total of 2000, and approximately 400 attended the play\u2019s presentations over the course of Thanksgiving weekend.Looking forward to what is to come with Doltra, Foumar, Ali and Malvina, in our very own fairytale!

party ahead of next shuttle By Jocelyne Richer THE CANADIAN PRESS Couillard's main challenges as he prepares for his next cabinet shuffle will be to give his greying party a more youthful air.Couillard, who is said to be contemplating a shuffle in the coming days, leads a team that is more golden-aged than school-aged.According to data compiled by The Canadian Press, more than a third of his cabinet ministers are over the age of 60, Os of Quebec Premier Philippe Municipal elections 2017 CONT'D FROM PAGE 1 four of six councilors.Two seats are being challenged.North Hatley-Mayor

cent, are under the age of 50.After 3 1/2 years in power, the leader of Quebec's Liberal Party is looking to do whatever he can to counter the opposition's claims that his party is worn out.\u201cTransformation\u201d has been one of his refrains of late, and he's made no secret of his desire to disassociate his party from the one that governed for a decade under former premier Jean Charest.There are multiple factors to consider when forming cabinet, including representing all the regions.A leader must also try to balance men and women, age and experience, and everyone's political aspirations.But if Couillard is serious about bringing a culture of youth to his cabinet, birth date is going to have to become another criteria for advancement.People aged 65 and up - an age commonly associated with retirement - make up 18 per cent of his caucus, while those under the age of 40 make up only eight per cent.Ever since voters handed his party a crushing defeat in a byelection in the former safe seat of Louis-Hebert on Oct.2, rumours have been circulating that the premier will have no choice but to shuffle his cabinet to change his image, bring in new blood, and calm the grumbling in his caucus.But on a generational level, little separates the three leaders.Couillard, 60, began his political career in 2003, while Legault, also 60, was first elected in 1998.Lisee, 59, began working as a PQ political strategist in 1994, before getting elected in 2012.Rawdon-All council seats were elected by acclamation, all of whom are members of Equipe Guilbault -

2017 newsroom(@sherbrookerecord.com The Record ID IL) I | @ RR I A | Country music is often seen as the cultural home base for Trump\u2019s America.Shots 1n MIKE MCDEVITT nce again, the United States is O reeling in the aftermath of yet another mass shooting, this time featuring an abundantly armed \u2018loner\u2019 causing battle-worthy casualties in matter of minutes with what might as well have been a fully automatic machine gun.Using an accessory that allows a semi-automatic rifle to perform like a fully automatic machine gun, one Stephen Paddock took it upon himself to attack a country-music festival, killing 58 people and injuring another 500 or so.And so it goes.Sadly, the Las Vegas attack, which is being described as the greatest mass shooting\u2018(of white people) in the country\u2019s history, is almost par for the course in modern America with the \u2018greatest country in the world\u2019 living through its 273rd mass shooting in 275 days.This time, however, the symbolism, though unclear, is powerful.Country music is often seen as the cultural home base for Trump\u2019s America.It is replete with songs about traditional values, the purity and freedom of rural life, and the goodness of the fading American dream.It glorifies pick-up trucks, dirt roads and cut-off jeans \u2014 not to mention \u2018heroes\u2019 - and without a doubt represents a large proportion of American gun owners, for whom a fetish-like devotion to instruments of death is almost a requirement of citizenship.It is difficult to understand how American society has come to abhor even the slightest hint at government regulation of weapons, as historically speaking, it is a relatively new phenomenon.A half century ago, an \u2018unlimited\u2019 freedom to own and carry weapons would have been seen as ludicrous, even by the National Rifle Association, which once saw its mandate as the promotion of gun safety, awareness, and responsi- the dark bility.It was a supporter of America\u2019s early attempts at national regulation and, in 1934, its president, Karl Frederick, was able to state publicly, and without fear of disgrace, that \"I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons.I seldom carry one.\u2026 I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns.I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses.\u201d Times, apparently, have changed.Since the 1970s, the NRA has become entirely a lobbying arm of the arms industry, promoting the widespread and generalized use of weapons and has fumed irrepressibly against any suggestion that the government might have a role to play in curtailing gun violence.Instead, it has doubled down on its desire for a lethally armed America by opposing any legislation that might slow the sale of these weapons and has chosen to promote the inviolability of the second half of the Second Amendment, interpreting it to be absolute while suppressing any consideration of the first part, which qualifies the second.Arguments over the meaning of the Second Amendment have been going on for what seems to be an eternity and so far, nothing has really changed.After every horrific event, hands are wrung; thoughts and prayers distributed freely, and demands for action ring out loud and clear.In the meantime, calls for stricter controls are accompanied by record-setting intensity of gun and accessory sales.Everybody wants to stock up while they still can.And they still can.The pattern for this kind of controversy has now become cliché: Lots of people die in senseless violence.If the perpetrator is white, then he is portrayed as a \u2018mentally disturbed\u2019 individual.If the perpetrator is brown or darker, then he or she becomes a representative of their ethnic background and its generally untrustworthy world view.In either case, laws against the free range of lethal weapons are out of the question as the \u2018good guy with a gun\u2019 needs to be prepared to defend himself and everybody else from violent attack.This almost never happens, of course, and in fact results in even more senseless gun violence.A second response is that such massacres are the \u2018price we have to pay\u2019 in order to defend ourselves THE 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIM 2E2 Fax: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON

THE GLOBAL MARKET WITH LOW OIL PRICES?\u2014 WAS IT MISS SCARLET IN QUEBEC WITH MUNICIPALITIES AND FIRST NATIONS LEADERS?WAS IT PROFESSOR PLUM AT THE NEB WITH TOUGHER ENVIRONMENTAL RULES?.ui from the evil tyranny that waits right around the corner.Within days of each atrocity, political leaders - thoroughly in thrall to weapons manufacturer lobbyists and the NRA - step up to decry the tragedy and insist that this emotionally charged period is hardly the time to \u2018leap to conclusions\u2019 and to politicize gun rights.These are the same people, generally, who will gleefully lunge off to war at the slightest \u2014 or imaginary \u2014 provocation.After all war, like personal gun ownership, is good for the arms industry, just not so good for people.Even more ironically, those proponents of wide-open gun regulations are often the same people who support eagerly the suppression of other rights guaranteed by their sacred\u2019 Constitution, such as the rights to vote, privacy, equality, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, principles that have gone a lot farther in defining American \u2018greatness\u2019 than its deadly infatuation with guns, but regardless of this obvious fact, Americans remain doggedly devoted to their guns and are astonishingly reluctant to impose any kind of restric tions upon them, finding ways to ignore mass murder, tragic accidents, and suicide as \\the price they have to pay.\u201d It\u2019s pathological.It is also quintessentially American.Since the Second World War, Americans have taken their innate sense of superiority to absurd levels and have steadfastly refused to learn from social progress that has been demonstrated to work in other countries.America has its guns, but not its universal health care and neither situation is likely to change soon.A vast majority of Americans support both accessible health care and gun regulations, but Americans, per se, are not the ones who make the rules.Those who do long ago sold out to the \u2018special interests\u2019 and are actively working to deny \u2018the people\u2019 what they clearly want.So ingrained is the mythology they're selling, in fact, that even those who advocate for change have pretty much resigned themselves that \u2018nothing can be one.\u2019 | Something can be done, of course, but that doesn\u2019t mean it will be.Once the stories of dead housewives and children have been told, and the appropriate outrage expressed, it will be back to business as usual and toddlers will continue to shoot each other, families will continue to be devastated and the great American public will go back to watching television shows where guns are always solving whatever problem might exist.The Las Vegas massacre stands out not only for its violence and deadliness but for its perfect exemplary demonstration of America\u2019s gun problems.The gunman used legally purchased weapons and ammunition, and modified his guns with legally purchased accessories.He had

Kidding\u2019 35 Years Later TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2017 Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for more than 40 years.During the first five years of our marriage, he confessed to several instances of infidelity.He begged for forgiveness.I forgave him.Well, recently, I found out he was lying and never actually had slept with other women.He told me that he had been questioning my loyalty and made up situations to see whether I loved him enough to forgive him and that I had passed the test.Well, yes, I forgave him each time because I loved him, but my feelings about him did change a little from the hurt of the supposed infidelity.I went through hell internally back then, butI didn\u2019t let him know.I don\u2019t understand what would make someone do that.He has been an excellent husband for the past 35 years, but I could have had a much better marriage had he not lied the first five years.I can\u2019t stop thinking of how things could have been and what the real truth 1s.What would you suggest I do?\u2014 Happy or Sad Dear Happy or Sad: If he truly was making up these Dear Annie lies about cheating as some kind of test of your loyalty, that\u2019s pretty twisted.If he did cheat but now has decided to rewrite history and pretend he wasn\u2019t an adulterer, that\u2019s pretty twisted, too.Which is true?At this point, the more important question is why he would jerk you around like this at all.Such emotional abuse 1s unacceptable.Tell your husband that if you\u2019re to ever free yourselves from the tangled web he\u2019s woven, it will be through marriage counseling.If he refuses, I encourage you to attend counseling on your own.Dear Annie: \u201cOngoing Unhappiness\u201d wrote to you complaining that her daughter-in-law is a hypochondriac.She may not be.For 30 years, I suffered pain and surgeries that I later understood most likely could have been avoided had I had a true diagnosis of fibromyositis, now known as fibromyalgia.It took 30 years to diagnose.Pain happens all over.It can feel like a bruise when someone touches you.It can cause debilitating pain when you bend over \u2014 which is the impetus for unnecessary gallbladder or kidney surgery or a hysterectomy when a doctor is mystified by the pain.I became uninsurable because of those pained years.I was misdiagnosed numerous times, had surgery after surgery and took medication after medication.None of it stopped the pain.Too many people are considered hypochondriacs by those around them because they\u2019ve never had a day free of pain.That is not to say \u201cOngoing Unhappiness\u2019\u201d daughter-in-law is in that category, but it sounds as if she could be.\u2014 Been There, Understand That Dear Been There, Understand That: Chronic undi- agnosed pain can have an incredibly dispiriting impact on one\u2019s life and outlook.I'm glad you eventually got the correct diagnosis.Perhaps your letter will inspire someone suffering similar pain not to give up looking for answers.Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.Email your social notes to: classad@sherbrookerecord.com p pressreader | PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER
