She must get it from her mom (Laura Pleavin-Coley, also an AGRHS teacher), or grandmothers\u2026.or great-grandmothers.She\u2019s usually reserved and doesn\u2019t like to stir the pot.I\u2019m pleasantly surprised she\u2019s taking leadership roles.\u2019 There are few things as inspiring as watching a person taking an interest in social development.\u2018And taking action,\u2019 JF expands, \u2018She\u2019s trying to make things happen.Even running for Ministre de la Cour was a big step.She never thought people would vote for her, but she really wanted to do some things for her school.I helped her make her posters, but let her do and manage her own thing.\u2019 Becoming involved is not without its moments though.\u2018And of course there\u2019s occasional drama around it, people and opinions.But she\u2019s really good at trying to bring others in, and getting their opinions, their input.She wanted to bring \u2018her team\u2019 to any potential interview.\u2018 Via this role as Schoolyard Minister, Olivia has an opportunity to learn about politics.She is responsible for schoolyard activities, obtaining new equipment or installations, dealing with problems and so on, as well as passing on information to the powers that be (teachers, the Prinicipal).Her father is impressed with her continued work, \u2018She\u2019s been coming up with ideas for the yard, projects.She\u2019s doing fundraising for the yard for next year via a calendar project.She heard about anti-bullying at Galt and said, \u2018We should do that, some kids are bullied at my school.\u2019 That brings us back to the Powerpoint presentation she spent her weekend creating.\u2018She\u2019s a genuine compassionate person.She dishes it out to her brother, but other than that, she doesn\u2019t have a mean bone in body.She\u2019s just a really special kid.Very giving.Very caring.And now we\u2019ve added drive to the whole thing.She ?nds leaders inspirational I think.\u2019 Olivia Coley is in the throes of the most important part.It\u2019s not about announcing that École Plein Soleil has won with their entry in the video contest, it\u2019s about how youth got together and thought about basic things that they needed, created a plan and an idea of a budget, and enthusiastically recorded a video where they explained what they need.They are taking part in paying attention to how to improve their playtime and daily life at school.They\u2019re working together and that will get results, even if it\u2019s not in the form of this win, because they will keep going, keep trying, and keep learning how to make life better for one another.And THAT is inspiring.Sheila Quinn Dishpan Hands Olivia Coley is a ten-year-old current leader, who, mark my words, will be a future one. The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, February 25, 2020 Page 3 Local News \u201cIt is like Christmas in February for many elected of?cials,\u201d Bonnardel said of the annual announcement, pointing out that the ministry of transport is one of the ministries whose work impacts the population on a daily basis.Province to invest $166 million in Townships roads By Gordon Lambie Quebec Transport Minister François Bonnardel was in Sherbrooke on Monday for the government\u2019s annual announcement of investments in the local transportation network.A total of 103 projects were named as a part of the announcement, the majority of which fall into the categories of either road maintenance, structure maintenance, or improvements to the security of the road network.\u201cIt is like Christmas in February for many elected of?cials,\u201d Bonnardel said of the annual announcement, pointing out that the ministry of transport is one of the ministries whose work impacts the population on a daily basis.Among the major projects included in the plan is the provincial government\u2019s part of the funding for the Grandes-Fourches bridge project in Sherbrooke, the funding to rebuild the Main Street bridge in North Hatley, repaving work on highways 10, 410, and 55, as well as more than $17 million that has been set aside for the completion of the Highway 410 extension project.\u201cThe challenge is to have it done for Christmas,\u201d the Transport Minister said, reminding those gathered for the announcement that the work to extend the highway has been the largest public works project in the region in recent years, with $75 million having been invested in phase two since 2008, and more than 250 million for the whole job so far.Although the repaving work might be less ?ashy than the construction of a new highway, Bonnardel pointed out that people would do well to keep in mind that the section of Highway 10 between exit 68 and Bromont, as well as the section of Highway 410 from University Boulevard to the 10 and nearly 30 kilometres of highway 55 between Sherbrooke and Ulverton are set to be resurfaced over the next two summers.The work he said, will be signi?cant and disruptive to people in the area, even if the ultimate goal is an improved transit network.He said a similar thing of the work to rebuild the bridge in North Hatley, which will result in a signi?cant detour over a prolonged period of time.\u201cWe know it won\u2019t be easy for the people in the area, but we have no choice,\u201d the minister said.Bonnardel deferred to Sherbrooke Mayor Steve Lussier when it came to questions about the Grandes-Fourches bridge, and Lussier shied away from speci?cs about the work.\u201cThe ?le is moving along well,\u201d the Mayor said, sharing that the Provincial Government is contributing $26 million to the $36 million project.\u201cWe should make the of?cial announcement and have the groundbreaking soon.\u201d In a push for more transparency on the part of the ministry, Bonnardel also noted that the full listing of the projects in planning is available online (in French only) at https://www.transports.gouv.qc.ca/ under the \u201cprojets et infrastructures\u201d tab.CREDIT: GORDON LAMBIE CAQ MNAs André Bachand, Geneviève Hébert, and François Bonnardel in Sherbrooke on Monday Council of physicians, dentists and pharmacists supports CHUS Foundation fundraising campaign Record Staff The Council of Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists (CMDP) has announced its support for the CHUS Foundation\u2019s major campaign with a $180,000 donation.The donation is in keeping with the CMDP\u2019s actions in support of the Foundation over the past 25 years.During that time more than $2 million has been devoted by the CMDP to improving health care, medical innovation and humanizing care in the Estrie region.\u201cFor the CMDP, it is important to actively support the Fondation du CHUS because its contribution to our Sherbrooke facilities allows all of our members to bene?t from more ways to offer the best possible care and services to our clients,\u201d commented Dr.Valérie Bédard, President of the CMDP.\u201cWe are proud and grateful to be able to count on the unfailing support of the CMDP for 25 years now, through their major ?nancial commitment of course, but also through their great availability to support our actions, participate in our activities and meet our donors.Their contribution plays a crucial role in the quality of health care provided in the Estrie region,\u201dadded

Sherbrooke Citizen Évelyne Beaudin raised concerns about the abusive use of in camera sessions by municipal council.In a Facebook post published yesterday, she revealed that in 2019, the council sat in public only 37 per cent of the time.\u201cAccording to our calculations, elected of?cials are behind closed doors 63per cent of the time,\u201d Beaudin commented, in a recent press release.According to Beaudin, the overuse of secret sessions is a problem because it makes citizens feel excluded from decisions.\u201cI think it\u2019s reasonable to say that people don\u2019t have access to all the information.They don\u2019t get the issues explained to them; they don\u2019t really know what the people representing them think because everything is discussed and canned in advance behind closed doors,\u201d Beaudin added.The leader of Sherbrooke Citoyen referenced an incident at the last municipal council where the president, Nicole Bergeron, refused to take questions from elected of?cials during a public plenary session, claiming that they had had the opportunity to do so behind closed doors.\u201cThis shows that public meetings are seen as a waste of time, a necessary evil.Many elected of?cials do not see the relevance of holding debates in public and ?nd it much more convenient to discuss anything and everything away from the eyes and ears of the public, and especially journalists.\u201d Beaudin believes that the council needs to question its practices and look at models elsewhere, such as in Ontario where only human resources and legal issues are dealt with in camera.\u201cWe can go step by step, but I think it\u2019s important, at the very least, to have clear rules,\u201d explained the Carrefour district councillor.\u201cWe have just adopted a new code of ethics that insists on the duty of transparency of elected of- ?cials.It must be re?ected in concrete actions.\u201d Page 4 Tuesday, February 25, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Is a kiss REALLY a kiss if you are only seven?By Linda Knight Seccaspina We met one day in the sunshine while we were both picking raspberries from bushes so tall they seemed to touch the sky.I had just turned seven and he was barely eight.His body was hidden on the other side of the shrubberies but his voice hit me like a ton of rocks.The high volume of his vocals insisted I was not to pick from \u201chis\u2019 raspberry bush.He kept insisting that he needed a lot of berries so his mother could make him some jam.She had told him emphatically that he had better not come home unless that big silver pail was full.I pushed my blonde bangs out of my face and told him in a loud voice that he did not own the raspberries.His round face full of freckles had a look of de?ance as I saw him walk around from the other side of the bushes.He stopped dead in his tracks, put his pail down and wiped the sweat off his face with his blue checkered shirt.He smiled, and said he was sorry, and that he didn\u2019t usually yell at pretty girls.I looked down at my white sandals and socks that were now covered in dirt and berry juice and smiled.No one had ever called me pretty before so we began to talk and pick raspberries together.I had seen him in the school yard at recess and one day he had waved at me from his verandah as I walked home from school.When our pails were full and our lips bright red from eating fresh raspberries he held my hand as we walked home.We reached his house ?rst and before I could say a word he kissed me quickly on the lips.It tasted like a river of sweat combined with tributaries of fresh warm raspberry jam.He suddenly ran across the street and ?ew up the rickety stairs hugging his mother who was hanging clothes.He never did kiss me again, but I will forever remember that heartfelt affection as my ?rst kiss.Sixty two years later I wonder if he still picks raspberries.Maybe some days he thinks back to the day he kissed the little blonde haired girl with her stained red lips; because she still remembers that kiss to this day.It wasn\u2019t my lips he kissed \u2013 it was capturing a moment in time.Memories of Au Bon Marche in Sherbrooke This was

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, February 25, 2020 Page 5 Daycare shortage \u201ca big problem\u201d in Sherbrooke By Gordon Lambie This past weekend Shella-Ann Schinck of Sherbrooke coordinated a peaceful demonstration in front of the Rock Forest of?ces of Richmond MNA André Bachand to express frustration at the lack of daycare service for parents in the region.Attended by some sixty people, including daycare workers, parents, and other concerned citizens, the gathering was mean to raise the alarm about the childcare needs of parents in the region.\u201cParents are making tens or even hundreds of calls and there are very few options,\u201d said Schinck, explaining that she was inspired to organizer the event out of frustration one day at seeing the large number of Facebook pages dedicated to parents looking for daycare spots.\u201cParents are feeling the need to do more to be heard,\u201d she said, noting that the demonstration comes in addition to a letter-writing campaign and petitions that are circulating at the moment.The problem, according to Schinck, is broad.Although the province of Quebec has a service to help connect parents seeking childcare to daycare centres, it is not unusual for children to age out of the need before a call comes in due to the shortage of spaces available \u201cI put my name on the list as soon as I knew I was pregnant and I have not received a call,\u201d she said, pointing out that she knows parents with four-year- olds who have never heard from the service.Lacking access to a daycare centre, private and home-based daycares should be helping to ?ll the gap, but according to Schinck poor working conditions and challenging new legislation are leading a lot of home daycare operators to shut down, creating a shortage in that environment as well.\u201cIt\u2019s a big problem.\u201d The protest organizer said that she has yet to get an of?cial response from the government or Bachand\u2019s of?ce although she acknowledged that the event was on a Saturday.\u201cI assume that sooner or later I will receive an answer,\u201d she said.\u201cIf I don\u2019t then I will go back.\u201d In a written statement, Sherbrooke Quebec Solidaire MNA Christine Labrie lent her support to the group, saying that there is a signi?cant shortage of daycare spots at the moment, especially for infants.\u201cIn the Eastern Townships, we have more than 800 permits for subsidized family spaces that go to nothing because there are no educators to open these spaces.\u201d She wrote.\u201cIf it becomes attractive to be a family educator, I\u2019m sure we can offer them to families quickly, but with current conditions, we tend to have environments that close their doors.\u201d Like Schinck, the Sherbrooke MNA called for improved working conditions for educators.\u201cThey are the ?rst link in our education system, we cannot pay them like babysitters,\u201d she said.COURTESY OF SHELLA-ANN SCHINCK CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 organize a Shaved Head Challenge.Maryse Richard, a Special Education Technician at the school immediately jumped on board to help.While Cabana initially got the ball rolling, in the new year she was transferred to work in Salluit, Quebec with the Inuit community.\u201cShe gave us the choice to opt out,\u201d Richard explained, but the staff and students decided to follow through with the plan.\u201cWe started something, I want to go through with it,\u201d Richard said, moments before she lost her locks for the challenge.\u201cWe want to show how simple acts of kindness can go a really long way.\u201d Since launching the campaign in November of last year, the participants have been raising money and even those not shaving or donating their hair did their part.The whole school participated in a Leucan Tattoo sale in the fall, crazy hat day in January and a fun afternoon of skating in February.All money raised from the activities, along with donations collected, will be given to Leucan in the name of NHES.According to Richard, the original fundraising goal was $3,000.\u201cBy January we had already passed it, so we decided to go for $3,500,\u201d she explained.The tally at the end of yesterday was over $6,200.\u201cAnd there is more coming,\u201d Richard said, explaining there are still donations yet to add to the total.The entire school ?led into the gym just before 2 p.m.yesterday to cheer on the participants.\u201cThis is a big deal,\u201d Richard told the students, explaining the important role Leucan plays in helping families and children af?icted with cancer.The students had made signs to hold up and encourage the participants and applauded every time a ponytail was snipped.Three local hairdressers were on hand to do the head shaving and ponytail cutting.Five female students and one parent with long hair donated eight-inch lengths of hair, which will be used to make wigs for people in cancer treatment.Two male students shaved their heads completely, as did Richard.And something special happened.According to the Leucan representative, during a Leucan Head Shave Challenge, spectators can sometimes get the bug and decide to get on board.That was the case for one mom at the event, whose son shaved his head.The rule is anyone who decides on the spot to shave their head has to come up with a minimum $50 donation in order to participate.Rather than spare eight inches of her hair, the mother, likely inspired by the other participants, had her head shaved completely.Richard was last to get her head shaved.She had sold raf?e tickets to the students, and four winners each got the chance to cut off a length of her hair.Each of them thoroughly enjoyed their snip.Marie-Pier Cabana will also participate in the activity from 1800km away.While it is a bit cold up north at the moment, she plans to fundraise and then shave her head in June, shortly before coming to visit the NHES students.Following the event, Richard thanked the students, staff and local community for their support.\u201cNorth Hatley always comes together,\u201d she said, proud of the amount raised for Leucan Estrie.Students then surrounded Richard, hoping to get a chance to rub her bald head before heading home on the bus.This mom decided on the spot to get involved in the Leucan Head Shave challenge.PICTURES BY MATTHEW

Vancouver Island has relied on stable ocean conditions since 1989.But CEO Rob Saunders says those started changing a little over a decade ago.Measurements showed dropping pH levels, indicating increased acidity.\u201cWe started to notice our larvae weren\u2019t swimming very well; they weren\u2019t feeding.They were dying at a tremendous rate,\u201d he says.In 2013, acidity spiked near Quali- cum Beach and wiped out 10 million scallops, forcing the company to rapidly adjust.Heightened acidity is a well- known consequence of C02 dissolving into the ocean to form carbonic acid.\u201cThe focus for us now is to try as fast as we can to ?nd something that\u2019s going to succeed in that ocean,\u201d Saunders says.\u201cThere\u2019s no question that the atmospheric CO2 is increasing.\u201d Saunders isn\u2019t alone in noticing accelerating effects of climate disruption.People throughout British Columbia are witnessing profound changes.Salmon runs are down as rivers get warmer, lower or dry up altogether.Wild?res are becoming larger, more intense and frequent, threatening homes, businesses and ways of life.Insect outbreaks once kept in check by longer, colder winters have devastated millions of hectares of forest.People in the Okanagan have been hit with the double whammy of huge wild?res and ?ooding from rising lake levels.Climate chaos is costing billions.Ian Mauro, a University of Winnipeg environmental scientist, geographer and ?lmmaker, explores the climate challenges and opportunities facing B.C.in his latest work Beyond Climate, which I narrate.This award-winning ?lm takes the viewer past the headlines and into the heart of the issues.From Haida Gwaii to Kelowna, Vancouver and Whistler to Mount Robson, we heard from people whose world is changing around them.Their stories of struggle and their ability to adapt in the face of massive shifts are important, so we\u2019re offering the ?lm for free starting February 20.Past Haida Nation president Peter Lantin describes how low river levels from a historic drought in the archipelago affected everything from food to culture.\u201cI think at one point it was 36 days without rain.Haida Gwaii is a rainforest, so that has huge impact on us.\u201d Whistler Blackcomb environmental planner Arthur Dejong says that, despite the ski resort\u2019s high elevation, it won\u2019t escape climate change effects.\u201cFor every degree Celsius increase, the snow line will go up 120 metres.For over a decade and a half now, we have been putting lifts higher, [with] more snow-making, more summer grooming, as part of our adaptation to a future with less snow.\u201d Processing and transporting fossil fuels also poses risks.Still reeling from a spill of more than 100,000 litres of fuel and other pollutants when tugboat Nathan E.Stewart sank near Bella Bella in 2016, the Heiltsuk wonder how much worse it would be if a tanker loaded with diluted bitumen were to run aground.Salmon and other ?sh are being especially hard hit by fossil fuel impacts, affecting commercial and sports ?sh- ing industries, food supplies and ways of life for coastal and inland peoples, especially Indigenous communities.Salmon also feed bears, eagles and other animals and fertilize the magni?- cent coastal rainforests.Environmental planner Stephen Sheppard connects the dots between pipelines and climate.\u201cWe\u2019re moving massive amounts of carbon through this province, all largely invisible to people.These are pipelines to the sky .It\u2019s like taking carbon and sticking it in the air.Sooner or later, somewhere along the way, it gets burned; it goes up there.\u201d Fortunately, solutions are plentiful.In 2009, Vancouver implemented its Greenest City Action Plan.Compost programs, energy-ef?cient buildings, district energy, reduced reliance on private automobiles \u2014 all are putting the city on track to a greener future.Vancouver has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions per person of any major North American city.B.C.is the proverbial canary in the coalmine for many related issues that will de?ne our place in the world: reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, the clean energy transition (with concurrent continued fossil fuel development and transport), conservation, food production, changing industries and economic priorities.Listening to people experiencing rapidly increasing climate impacts and to those doing something about the problem is critical to our understanding of how to live better in this province and on this planet.David Suzuki

season for Magog Cantonniers Submitted by Robert Legault The Magog Cantonniers received the Hockey Québec - Mario De- guise trophy for the championship of the regular season, but it was one of the only moments of celebration for the Magog team, which lost 4-1 to the Chevaliers de Lévis over the weekend.After receiving the trophy from the Executive Secretary of the Quebec Midget AAA Hockey League, Michel Guillemette, the players of the Cantonniers saw their opponents dominate 24-11for shots on net.Only two shots on goal happened in the ?rst period and two more in the third period.It\u2019s rare to see the Cantonniers take so few shots.Antoine Gaudreau (5th) opened the scoring for the winners at 4:59 in the ?rst period.Mathis Poulin replied with his 14th goal of the season at 12:31 as the Cantonniers enjoyed a power play advantage.Jordan Côté (15th) and Elliot Lavoie (26th) sealed the second period.Lavoie\u2019s goal was scored with only two seconds left in the period and the goal was scored during a penalty to Justin Bergeron.Anthony Lavoie rounded out the scoring for the winners in the third period with his fourth goal of the season.Goaltender Rémi Delafontaine received 24 shots and let four slip by in the loss.Thomas Couture received all 11 shots from the Magog players.Before the game, in addition to the presentation of the regular season championship trophy, the Comptoir familial on Lasalle Street in Magog gave an amount of $800 to the DIM class at La Ruche High School.Of?cially, before this Sunday\u2019s game, the Cantonniers had scored 29 power play goals for a total of $725.Michel Brousseau and the Comptoir familial team decided to round up the amount to $800.The Cantonniers will complete the regular schedule this Friday at 7:30 p.m.when they will visit the Grenadiers in Châteauguay.The ?rst games of the playoffs, at the Magog arena, will take place on Monday, March 2 and Tuesday, March 3 starting at 7 p.m.The price of tickets will increase to $10 for adults and $5 for 12 to 17-year- olds for the playoffs.Admission will remain free for children 11 and under.At these prices, Cantonniers hockey games remain a very affordable sports entertainment option for families in the region.PHOTO CREDIT: JÉRÉMY ROBERT, MAGOG CANTONNIERS Caroline Dubois and Martine Drouin, educators in the La Ruche DIM class, and a

The next month, add something simple to your new routine, or create a second one for another time during the day.Also, look for ways to make simple tasks more physically challenging.Let\u2019s say you are picking up stray items around the living room.Pick them up one at a time, and sprint to put them away.By year\u2019s end, you will ?nd that you are leading a much more active life without putting in an overwhelming amount of effort.Your increase in energy and con?dence will help spur you to a more active life naturally.- Keeping It Simple Dear Keeping It Simple: I always love hearing from professionals who offer wise perspectives.Your advice reminds me of one of my favorite sayings: Life is a cinch by the inch and a trial by the mile.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
