OF 1 TUESDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS HIGH OF 19 LOW OF 3 The World of Katie Morag Children\u2019s Book Series, Reviewed by Shanna Bernier In my last Children\u2019s Lit Good Reads column, I shared some of my ongoing challenges of parenting during these weird times.In that edition, I reviewed a few titles from the fantasy genre, which for me is an obvious source of escapism.I do not believe, however, that it is necessary to invent a completely new planet or an alternate time-line to travel outside of your reality.Any well-constructed book setting can make you feel like you are sinking into a comfortable warm bath, brie?y immersing you in someone else\u2019s story.Perhaps a more apropos analogy for this week\u2019s weather would be a refreshing dip into a cool pool.As we settle into summer-time weather in this ongoing pandemic, taking time to sit in the shade of a tree to read a pleasant story can be a balm for the stinging stress of life.I decided to write about one of my favourite book series for young children, whose setting is still imaginary, but based on very real places.The Katie Morag stories by Mairi Hedderwick are a series of delightful books with a feisty young protagonist set on the Isle of Struay, a ?ctional counterpart of the real-life island of Coll where Hed- derwick has lived at various times for much of her life.A tiny rural Scottish Isle seems as good as place as any to let our imaginations escape to during this sticky week in Quebec.The title character, Katie Morag (nearly always called by her full name in the books) is a young girl with a great deal of swagger.She is bold and brash, dressed perpetually in an ancient jumper (sweater, for those not familiar with the colloquialisms of the British Isles) and a pair of Wellington boots under her skirt.She is a rough and tumble girl, fond of playing outside and having adventures.Her family lives in a ?at over the village general store, where her mother is the Postmistress and her father manages the retail counter.Katie Morag lives with Mr.and Mrs.McColl, her little brother Liam, baby sister Flora Ann and her two cats, Mr.Mistake and Fabbydoo.In addition, two \u201cGrannies\u201d are important in the story, the wilder, tractor-driving \u201cGrannie Island\u201d and the more demure and city-dwelling \u201cGranny Mainland.\u201d This family, along with other familiar faces and recurring neighbourhood characters make up the village life on the Island and set the scene for the everyday adventures.I like these books particularly for the masterful world-build- ing.We can see in vivid detail how the people of the Isle of Struay live, in part from the humorous people detailed in the text as well as from the whimsical details of the watercolour illustrations, also created by Hedderwick.My favourite story is Katie Morag and the Tiresome Ted.Written in 1986, this book picks up just after baby Flora Ann is born, and Katie is having a hard time adjusting.She is causing trouble and upheaval in her very freshly expanded family, so her exhausted parents send her off for a bit of time at Granny Island\u2019s house to give them some much needed space.Poor Katie is in a terrible mood for days, which matches the weather on the island, which ?nds itself held in a windy storm.In a ?t of frustration, Katie Morag tosses her old teddy bear \u201cTed\u201d into the sea.Fortunately, bad moods pass, as do storms, and miraculously Katie ?nds her old Ted while searching for treasures among the driftwood.This book manages to show a realistic emotional range of a child experiencing a major transition and shows us supportive grownups who, while struggling themselves, manage to ?nd a way to support Katie.I really appreciate a children\u2019s book that models supportive community.Hedderwicks\u2019 characters are positive, realistic and progressive role models for children for several reasons.Katie is a girl who enjoys unconventional activities and out?ts and is not afraid to get dirty and play with boys.Her mother works hard at the post of?ce and tries to ?nd work/life balance with domestic tasks.This book was banned/ censored from some American libraries because of frequent casual depictions of Mrs.McColl breastfeeding her baby.Mr.McColl is often shown caring for the children and the home in an equal partnership with his wife.Grannie Island is a single older woman who drives a tractor, wears work pants and de?es feminine stereotypes.The Isle of Struay is a small traditional Scottish community which values family, community and caring for one another.This summer I will not be venturing out to the real Scottish seashore.I will not even get to drive, as planned, to the shores of Prince Edward Island.I am tired, I must say, of counting the things that have been cancelled or postponed.Dipping my feet into the ice-cold hose water in my in?atable baby pool?Not cancelled.Talking a calming walk through the forest on a cool morning?Not cancelled.Escaping through words and brushstrokes to the idyllic shores of a small town in Scotland and looking through the eyes of a feisty and clever little girl?Never cancelled.Lennoxville Library Good Reads The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Friday, May 29, 2020 Page 3 Local News The goal of the Sherbybox campaign is to support health in the Eastern

jbryant@sherbrookerecord.com CHUS Foundation launches Sherbybox campaign Record Staff The committee of the CHUS Foundation has launched of the second edition of Sherbybox, gourmet edition this year.This gift boxs, produced in collaboration with Sherbrooke merchants, will be available for Father\u2019s Day and the proceeds from the sale will once again be donated to the foundation.The Sherbybox will be sold online for $65 and will allow the population to discover the artisans and creators of the region.To ?ll this year\u2019s box, the committee enlisted the help of several businesses, including Pizzicato and Westley restaurants, the Siboire microbrewery, the Silo bio-bulk grocery store, the Agropol urban farm, as well as Brûlerie Faro.The goal of the Sherbybox campaign is to support health in the Eastern Townships through the CHUS Foundation while encouraging the local economy.\u201cThe members of our committee and everyone involved in this project have accomplished a great feat with the ?rst version of the Sherbybox.It\u2019s encouraging to see their motivation to continue the project.We are very fortunate to bene?t from the support of such dynamic people.We hope that the Sherbybox- Édition gourmande will be as successful as the ?rst box, which raised $20,500 for our foundation,\u201d commented Martin Clermont, Executive Director of the CHUS Foundation.All orders can be placed online on the new website Sherbybox.ca.The boxes will be distributed on Saturday, June 20, between 9 a.m.and 3 p.m., at Siboire Dépôt.A can of beer from Siboire will be given as a gift.A delivery option is also available.More information is available on the Instagram and Facebook @LaSherbybox pages and at Sherbybox.ca.Virtual information session for Galt West project Record Staff The City of Sherbrooke will hold a virtual information and discussion evening regarding the Galt West project on Wednesday, June 10, at 7:30 p.m.Since gatherings are still prohibited by the provincial government, the session will be webcast live at sherbrooke.ca/GaltOuest.Participants will be able to ask questions and provide comments live via a web form that will be available at the same address.The Galt West project will involve a complete redevelopment of the section of the street located between Alexandre and Belvédère Street South.The municipal council approved the project\u2019s general plan last March.The intention of the project is to give more room to active and public transit, while taking environmental concerns into account.Other streets in Sherbrooke will be redeveloped in the same way over the next few years.As part of the Galt West project, on- street parking spaces will be removed to allow for the development of raised one-way bike lanes and a green central median.Sidewalks on both sides of the street will include green space to reduce heat islands.In addition, the intersection of Galt Street West and Belvedere Street South will be recon?g- ured to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety.Measures to improve traf?c ?ow will also be implemented on Galt Street West.Alfred-Élie-Dufresne Park will be expanded towards Galt Street West and electrical wires will be buried on part of this street.The project is already well underway with the demolition of the nine residential buildings that were located on the north side of the street.Le Parallèle de l\u2019habitation sociale, which is the real estate arm of the Of?ce municipal d\u2019habitation de Sherbrooke (OMHS), will build a six-storey building with 116 accessible and affordable housing units on this site.Decontamination of the land will follow in the coming months.Excluding the construction of this building, the Galt West project will require an investment estimated at $12.4 million, of which $10.7 million will come from the City of Sherbrooke.\u201cCystic ?brosis is with me every day\u201d By Gordon Lambie Like many of the other walks and runs for a cause that would usually be taking place this time of year, the 16th annual Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History has been forced to move its steps online this year.For 2020, The fundraising event has been transformed into a virtual challenge that aims to maintain a mission of spreading awareness about Cystic Fibrosis while also helping people avoid gathering in large crowds.Whereas in the past the walk would have called on supporters to come out to raise money and awareness on a given day, this year\u2019s event gives interested participants the freedom to choose their activity and leaves the timeline open, provided that it can be completed by the end of Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month this Sunday.The most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults, Cystic Fibrosis is a multi-system progressive disease that affects mainly the lungs and the digestive system.In the lungs, where the effects are most devastating, a build-up of thick mucus leads to progressive loss of respiratory function.Mucus also builds up in the digestive tract, making it dif?cult to digest and absorb nutrients from food.Although improved therapies have helped to address the malnutrition issues, ultimately most deaths related to cystic ?brosis are due to lung failure.There is no cure.Joanie Lévesque, 27, is the Sherbrooke ambassador for this year\u2019s event.\u201cCystic ?brosis is with me every day,\u201d she said, explaining that although some days are better than others because of factors like heat and air quality, she has a morning regime of nearly an hour and a half of treatment every day as soon as she gets out of bed.\u201cThere is no exceptional treatment,\u201d Lévesque noted, sharing that although she is on a good stretch at the moment, she is accustomed to a hospitalization about once every four months or so.Lévesque said that her case is particular in that she was diagnosed at age 14.\u201cFor the ?rst fourteen years of my life I always had health problems but we could never be sure of why,\u201d the spokesperson said, noting that the discovery of the real cause made a big difference to her life.There are currently 4,370 Canadians living with Cystic Fibrosis, and Lévesque said that from her point of view the most important aspect of an event like this walk, online or not, is to help others get to know what those people are experiencing.\u201cWhen I go outside, I will often need to cough, and in this pandemic time people are often afraid,\u201d she said.\u201cThey don\u2019t know about cystic ?brosis and what it means.\u201d If, even for a short time, Cystic Fibrosis can grab some of the spotlight from COVID-19, Lévesque said she feels like it will be a positive.More awareness, she argued, will lead to more support, which could lead to solutions \u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has been a game-chang- er for the charitable sector in Canada; we are expecting a decline in revenue of 40-60% this year,\u201d said Olivier Jérôme, Regional executive director for Cystic Fibrosis Canada in Quebec.\u201cThe pandemic will pass, but help from our community is needed now more than ever.\u201d This year, Cystic Fibrosis Canada will see signi?- cant declines in Walk revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.To secure its future, Cystic Fibrosis Canada is relying on the support of the community, volunteers, donors and supporters now more than ever to help achieve its vision of a world without cystic ?brosis.For the past 15 years, the Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History has taken place in over 70 locations across Canada where thousands of people walk for a cure or control for cystic ?- brosis (CF).Since its inception in 2005, the Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History has raised over $36 million to support research, advocacy, and quality individualized care.Canadians interested in joining the virtual challenge can still register at: cystic?brosis.ca/walk Daily COVID-19 stats Record Staff

Page 4 Friday, May 29, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record One column, four voices Open to the Spirit Today\u2019s word: Learning By Revs Mead Baldwin, Rabbi Boris Dolin Lee Ann Hogle, and Rev.Carole Martignacco 1) I love spending time with precocious children who ask challenging questions and have a deep passion to learn everything they can about dragons and butter?ies, ?owers and the stars in the sky.They ask questions and can\u2019t wait to learn more.I was that precocious child once.My favourite Christmas present at 10 was a World atlas.I got in trouble in Grade 4 for disagreeing with the teacher, and had to stand out in the hall.I was right though, and she later apologized.Even in college I registered for extra courses because there was so much more to learn.By contrast, many adults begin by thinking they know it all already, and challenge every new scienti?c fact, or people they disagree with.Some criticize the media and protect themselves by only listening to those who support their opinions.Jesus loved teaching new ideas about love, acceptance and forgiveness.People with a thirst for learning gathered to hear him speak.The leaders in that time had all the rules and teachings solidi?ed through time.They resented Jesus and were skeptical about his inclusive ideas.Jesus was a threat.New teachings were dangerous.300 years later, after the church became the of- ?cial religion of the Roman empire much the same thing happened.New teachings were called heresy, and people were expelled.In some ways things haven\u2019t change much in 2,000 years.New science about climate change is considered dangerous to the economy.In the nation to the south, ideas like Universal Health Care are labeled communist, and are vili?ed at the cost of human lives.Some faith communities are suspicious of university education.New teachings are called the tools of the enemy.Some kept their churches open recently in spite of all the science that warned of the dangers of the pandemic, at the cost of human lives.I love learning new things.I love the excitement of children as they discover the world they live in.Each new day is an adventure.What about you, our readers?What do you want to learn?It\u2019s never too late.2) There is a rabbinic text that describes well how we can learn from others, reminding us that everyone has something to teach: \u201cOne who learns from one\u2019s friend a single chapter, or a single law, or a single verse, or a single expression, or even a single letter, must show him or her honor.\u201d (Pirkei Avot 6:3).This important concept is both a lesson for how we should learn together, but also is a lesson for how we should interact with those who are most different than us.Imagine for a moment that you encounter someone who shares the most opposing view than you on a value or belief system that you hold dear-some- thing that you have always felt you simply knew was right.You have done the learning, you know the issues, and have had enough conversations to know where you stand.Then you are confronted with a new reality.We have all had this experience, those clashes of opinions that often times lead to more arguing and point-making than listening and accepting.Yet what if we really had to live by the words of this text?If the \u201cother\u201d makes even one small point, asks us one challenging question, even if we still think we are right, they deserve our respect and honor.Since we know that we will always receive at least the smallest new insight even from the most heated argument, we should have to start every interaction from this place of honoring and acceptance.Those that frustrate us the most, those who seem most different than give us that letter of learning just by being different and challenging us to look at ourselves and our beliefs.And this deserves respect.3) If Covid-19 is nature\u2019s way of teaching us something, what are the lessons we are learning?In bygone days when society experienced droughts, plagues or other wide-spread disasters people prayed to God for mercy and rescue.Many of us no longer consider reasonable the notion of a super-natural, allpowerful being that reigns down divine justice by picking and choosing who will be healed, when the rains will come or who will fall victim to Covid-19.But it is still tempting to think we are being punished by some higher power.Instead let us consider that the universe may be governed by a set of natural laws, with predictable consequences when these laws are broken.Apples don\u2019t fall upwards, plants can\u2019t grow without water, people get sick when we don\u2019t respect the creation we live within.Viruses cross the species barrier when wild animals are consumed.Chronic diseases are created when the skies, waters and earth become contaminated.We don\u2019t have to look any further than our own human actions to realize we are reaping what we have sown.Covid-19 has forced us all to slow down, to consider every action we do when we leave the house and to value our human relationships as never before.It has taught us to be more present, more mindful of the world we live in.It has led some of us to ask the deeper questions regarding the meaning of life and the values we hold most dear.And in this slowing down, in this state of mindfulness it has offered us the opportunity to experience the holiness of life itself.Thank you Covid-19.4) These days give us more leisure time than we may know what to do with.Amid the pandemic\u2019s challenges and disruptions, those who are home have time not just for boredom, but for exploring new ways of managing our daily routines, sweeping out the cobwebs in our internal attics, and taking small steps toward longed for changes.As the lockdown recedes, let\u2019s not lose the valuable opportunities for learning.Beyond the serious stuff, I\u2019ve begun to loosen up, use learning as entertainment.Since the whole world is our library now, there\u2019s more than ever to learn! And Zoom courses galore! So I\u2019ve taken to honing my writing skills.Online workshops can connect me with a geographically far-?ung community that literally (pun intended) spans the globe.Learning new meditation techniques and becoming addicted to silence.If I\u2019m lucky I\u2019ll have time to return to Spanish and pick up a bit of Italian beyond the greeting stage.It helps to ?nd a healthy obsession and exploit it for all it\u2019s worth - music, a new language, astronomy, watercolours.I used to challenge my girls growing up - and myself as well - to ?nd a growth-oriented addiction to pursue wholeheartedly, full out and with passion.These days our family gatherings now on Zoom are full of passionate preoccupation with learning and sharing ethnic cooking videos.Exchanging more \u201chealthier than thou\u201d recipes has become a competitive kind of sibling bonding.Your Covid curriculum need not all be planned - it\u2019s good to stay open to surprises! This morning for instance, following the online \u201cyellow brick road\u201d I happened upon a series of clips for a DIY mini loom, using old fabric scraps to create stunning pieces of wall art.Just what I need to get my head out of the heavy news! Maybe the Buddhist idea of \u201cwhen the student is ready, the teacher appears\u201d applies to lifelong learning.No assignments, no exams, no degrees either - just the joy of personal enrichment and sharing with others.One word, four voices - now we turn it over to you: What\u2019s next on your learning agenda?Rev.Mead Baldwin pastors the Waterville & North Hatley pastoral charge; Rabbi Boris Dolin leads the Dorshei-Emet community in Montreal; Rev.Lee Ann Hogle ministers to the Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Magog & Georgeville United Churches; Rev.Carole Martignacco, Unitarian Universalist is retired from ministry with UUEstrie and now resides in St.Andrews by- the-Sea NB, but keeps one foot in the Townships by continuing with this column.You can manage the threat of COVID-19 to maintain your workouts Staying in shape both body and mind is challenging during the novel corona virus, especially if the gym was where all your workouts took place.Perhaps your favourite running route is no longer possible with safe distancing guidelines.Your ?tness class is no longer an option; your routine has been scuttled, knowing the physical and mental health bene?ts you\u2019ve enjoyed are now unceremoniously ?nished.This concludes the negative aspects of trying to stay ?t during a pandemic.For positive solutions to the above scenarios, read on\u2026 There are plenty of ways to get back on track to a new exercise routine, some of which can be done inside your home, no matter the size or lack thereof, of your dwelling.The key to staying on track is focusing on what kind of new workouts you can do at this time.Gol?ng offers a good option with enough safe distancing; if you are walking 18 holes your shoes should be perfectly ?tted, stretch your muscle groups beforehand, and bring water or an electrolyte drink, as you will be covering up to four miles.Choose a different running route with wide open spaces, even if you have to drive to get there.Any large green space in a park is a good place to practice repeat sprint drills or strides.If too many people at the school track make physical distancing a nervous endeavor, some laps can be run in a large parking lot if no cars are present.The idea is to try workout options and have fun with it.Remember to consult with your doctor before taking on a new workout regime.Here are my tips to jumpstart your running and cross training: 1.Check for a road or trail that isn\u2019t heavily occupied.Choose a wide trail with no safe distancing issues.Choose to run, walk or hike when there is less traf?c.Don\u2019t forget to stretch, post run - choose an unoccupied space outside or do it inside at home.See below for creating your home gym space.Stretch all muscle groups such as hamstrings, quads, calves, hip ?exors and I.T.bands.Hold each stretch for 60 seconds.2.Cross training at home adds variety and improves your core strength and gets your heart rate up - you can Christine Blanchette A Runner\u2019s Mind CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 5 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Friday, May 29, 2020 Page 5 Workouts CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 4 create your home gym with very little effort by moving around some furniture, place a large towel and yoga mat over the ?oor.Setting up near a window or sliding door to get some fresh air will be very bene?cial.3.Invest in dumbbell weights from 5 lbs.to 25 lbs.and up, depending on your ?tness level.Use Google to learn all the exercises you can do for each muscle group.Jog on the spot for ?ve minutes, holding weights in a running pose after your weights routine.Rest for ?ve minutes, and then do a second set.4.IF you don\u2019t have weights, use soup cans or ?lled water bottles or anything with weight that you can comfortably manage.5.Body weight exercises \u2013 ?nd some online or participate in a virtual class.Speaking of classics, sit-ups and pushups are basic body weight exercises.Use Google to ?nd more.Focus on core exercises that suit your ?tness needs; for example, three sets of 35 sit-ups, three sets of 35 pushups with 5-10 minutes between sets.Do leg raises, scissor lifts and other core strengthening exercises between sets.Following a ?tness routine will ben- e?t your immune system and keep you ?t, body and mind, to take on whatever challenges are coming next.We know ceremonies have been postponed - and we want to honour the High School Graduates of 2020 The Record is inviting proud parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and neighbours to send a message of congratulations to a 2020 high school graduate.And graduates - at no cost, send us a photo of you in your prom attire before June 5 and we will publish it in a keepsake special section, set to publish June 16.Email your submissions to classad@sherbrookerecord.com by June 5, 2020 Collection of agricultural plastics resumes in Coaticook MRC Record Staff After more than two months on hold, the agricultural plastics collection service will resume as of June 4, 2020.In order to serve all farmers within a reasonable time frame, an accelerated collection schedule from June 4 to 12 has been planned: o June 4: Dixville, East Hereford, Saint-Herménégilde, Saint-Venant-de- Paquette;

We look forward to welcoming you safely to our home!\u201d CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 several times to schools and said some PPOs would likely be willing to help.The topic of sunscreen brought with it the concern that the board should have a plan in place for students who arrive at school without sunscreen.Secretary General Éric Campbell added that teachers should be sure students don\u2019t have allergies or issues with skin irritation before applying their own spray sunscreen on a child.On the topic of protection, the sun isn\u2019t the only worry the board has for the remaining 20 or so school days for the year.The new online distance learning platforms have brought up cyber-se- curity and privacy issues related to recording students and teachers.Seline asked the board\u2019s opinion regarding recording school online interactions.Murray said the board has not analyzed the situation in depth, but said consultants prepared the online learning guidelines with the best information available on the subject.Because inevitably some students will not be available during the scheduled time of a lesson, the only pragmatic way to make sure the lesson is available is to record it and make it available at a later date.Secretary General Campbell pointed out that any recording by a teacher is considered the property of ETSB and cannot be shared or used for other purposes without authorization.Seline asked that clear guidelines on the subject be made available to teachers.The board replied that the information, which will be sent to parents, administrators and staff, is being prepped.During the meeting the board approved the appointment of Donald Kerr to Principal Sutton Elementary.Kerr had been at the school since Oct.2019.Sunscreen in schools Page 6 Friday, May 29, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record EDITORIAL \u201cHolding school elections even once under Bill 40 will have damaging consequences on the English-speaking community.\u201d 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 FAX: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON MCCULLY PUBLISHER (819) 569-9511 MATTHEW MCCULLY MANAGING EDITOR (819) 569-6345 GORDON LAMBIE ASSOCIATE EDITOR (819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN (819) 569-4856 JESSE BRYANT ADVERTISING MANAGER (450) 242-1188 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING (819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING (819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION (819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM (819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, J0E 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 FAX: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS For print subscription rates, please call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 108.72 5.44 10.85 $ 1 2 5 .0 0 1 MONTH 9.78 0.49 0.98 $ 1 1 .2 5 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.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 RECORD THE Letters DEAR EDITOR: In addition to the Eastern Townships School Board which adopted a resolution at its May 26 Council meeting, the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board did likewise on May 27, to support a major resolution as reported in The Record on May 28: \u201cEnglish school boards to challenge Bill 40.\u201d Let\u2019s reel back On May 15, 2020, the Quebec English School Boards Association (QESBA), Lester B.Pearson School Board and a parent committee chairman ?led papers seeking an injunction to stop the anglophone school board elections scheduled for Nov.1, 2020.QESBA wants the hearing to be held in June.The elections are part of adopted Bill 40, which called for school board reform by transforming archaic elected school boards into modern educational service centers.Boards of directors will replace councils of commissioners to govern the new centers .The thrust is to give those who are closest to our children on a daily basis, greater decision-making power to better serve our kids\u2019 educational and social-emotional needs in our ever- changing world.That said, let\u2019s recall the CAQ\u2019s original education plan called for no elections.However, the QESBA raised a fuss saying the plan was trampling on minority-language educational rights.So the CAQ modi?ed the plan to include elections to satisfy what some perceive to be a constitutional matter.The case revolves around the Charter of Rights and \u201cthe health and survival of minority language and culture.\u201d QESBA states: \u201cHolding school elections even once under Bill 40 will have damaging consequences on the English-speaking community.\u201d Nonsense! After the elections, nothing will change There still be English schools, students using textbooks, taught by English-speaking teachers.For culture there will still be English radio, TV, newspapers, Centaur Theatre and the Montreal Holocaust Museum to sensitize our youth about \u201cantisemitism , racism , hate and indifference\u201d.and more.Keeping in mind, only about 16 percent of the anglo electorate bothered to vote in the 2014 elections with about 50 per cent of the seats acclaimed , I see no reason for the judge to overrule the majority democratically elected government - especially since the former Liberal government attempted to also clean up our education system with its Bill 86.Moreover, Bill 185 adopted in May 2018 called for elections to be postponed from Nov.2018 to Nov.2020.It\u2019s the law.Besides returning of?cers have been hired by the boards.We must ?ght to keep the Bill 40 anglophone school board elections set for Nov.1, 2020 CHRIS EUSTACE MONTREAL, QC The Record welcomes your letters to the editor.Please limit your letters to 300 words.We reserve the right to edit for length, clarity, legality and taste.Please ensure there is a phone number or email where you can be reached, to con?rm authorship and current town/city of residence.Names will not be withheld but the address and phone number of the writer are not published, except by request.Please email your letters to newsroom@ sherbrookerecord.com.Preference is given to writers from the Eastern Townships.DEAR EDITOR: I was very sad to hear about the death of Tom Cavanagh, but what a touching article about him in Thursday\u2019s Record (May 28, 2020).He had already retired by the time I had opportunity to meet him.Tom inspired me: his curiosity and love of learning were so evident in all of the conversations we had.I remember his telling me that after he retired he made up a \u201cTo Do\u201d list of things to accomplish before he died.One of the items on that list was to learn how to tap dance.I can\u2019t help but wonder if he was able to cross that off his list.Knowing Tom, he was! My condolences to his family and friends.MICHELE MURRAY SHERBROOKE DEAR EDITOR: In Tuesday\u2019s Gazette there was an article on \u201cthe lack of air conditioning in the CHSLDs, is inhumane\u201d! The headline seems to indicate that this is something new! This situation has been ongoing for many years; why is it just now that this is reported?Paul Brunet , the patient-rights advocate, head of the Conseil pour la protection des maladies, is calling the situation \u201c It\u2019s inhuman,, its unsafe!\u201d Just now ?Why have all the Health Care people, including the Minister McCann, and Premier Legault not realized years ago, how bad this situation is and remedied it ?Today on the news it reports they are scurrying around to ?nd and install the A/C units, without a budget! This problem is another one that is coming to light.Anxious to read what the Canadian Army\u2019s report will reveal about how bad and desperate the situation is, at the CHSLDs that they worked at.In Ontario, Premier Ford is aghast and heart-broken with the report on the Ontario senior residences.Last week, Premier Legault was thinking of nationalizing the private CHSLDS.Based on the past, there is no faith in the Dept.of Health.They should leave well enough alone, and improve those in bad shape ( a minority of all the CHSLD).Study how successful CHSLDS function, and use as a guideline for all.If many of the Health ministry were in the business world, they would be ?red for incompetence!

Sherbrooke QC PHONE: 819-564-1750 FAX: 819-564-4423 www.casshomes.ca By Luke Carroll Three months ago I watched the sunset in La Paz, Bolivia, thinking about how much the city must have changed since my grandfather lived there in the early 2000s.I never got the chance to talk to him about it.Thomas Kenneth Cavanagh (Tom), a former columnist with The Record, passed away on May 25 at the age of 87.Tom was a man who could talk for hours about world events, philosophy, culture and most importantly, history.He studied history at St.Michael\u2019s College at the University of Toronto and entered teaching shortly after graduating in 1955.He worked at countless schools across the globe, but ended up settling in Lennoxville in 1972 where he worked as a history teacher at Champlain College.He moved his way up to serve as Dean there for over 20 years.Along with being a teacher, Tom was a writer, who would discuss, often humorously, many subjects including politics, sports, parenting and his time abroad in his column for The Record and other publications.Although I would credit his writing with in?uencing my pursuit of journalism, it was his nomadic lifestyle that left the biggest impression on me.He lived and worked in numerous countries including Ghana, Malawi, Armenia, Russia, Guyana, Ukraine, England, Sri Lanka and Bolivia \u2014 a place where decades apart we both experienced debilitating altitude sickness.He was born and raised in Peterborough, Ont., the youngest child of three, and the son of an entrepreneur.He grew up following Notre Dame football, a passion he never lost.He ended up joining his high school football team where one of his favourite memories include winning a championship.The photo of his team sporting broad smiles under comical leather helmets still hangs on the wall of his old room.\u201cThere were only three teams in the league,\u201d he once said to me with a laugh, using his usual self-deprecating humour.The most iconic photo of Tom shows him taking one last drag of a Players cigarette before running a marathon.However, a bigger accomplishment than the marathon was later quitting smoking.Tom was a ?ghter \u2014 in the literal sense.I\u2019ll never forget when I was 12 and he drove me to a middle school dance, informing me how at dances back in his day, his friends and him would always end up scrapping with a rival group from the other side of town.I spent the whole evening on edge, glancing nervously at sinister looking pre-teens across the school gym.I de?nitely don\u2019t have his ?ghting spirit.Tom also fought for sport; he was a boxer while in university.This isn\u2019t to say he was only a jock, the man loved nothing more than to spend his free time playing guitar and singing \u2014 although his wife Rosemary was the family musician.Rosemary and Tom met in high school, where she was a cheerleader; it almost sounds too corny to be true that she ended up with a football player.They avoided the high school sweetheart cliche by getting together years after graduating.The two married in 1960 and had ?ve children, all who showcase the traits that de?ned Tom; intelligence, humour and occasional absentmindedness.Tom could not have been prouder of all of them and his many grandchildren.Although he always had the travel bug, his home was Rue Spring Garden in Lennoxville; the house at the top of the hill with the red door, where friends were always welcome.He always said of all the places he had lived, Lennoxville was his favourite.Tom was a world traveller, a family man, an academic, a musician, an athlete and one can\u2019t describe him without including that he was a devoted Montreal Canadiens fan \u2014 to him Guy La?eur should be on Quebec\u2019s Mount Rushmore.On Tuesday evening, after I had learned about his passing, I walked to a nearby hill to watch the sunset.Again I thought of him, it was the most beautiful one I had ever seen.Into the sunset for former columnist Tom Cavanagh THOMPSON, Stephen Douglas: September 11, 1960 \u2013 May 31, 2019.Loving Memories to my Darling Son To lose someone so special Is really hard to bear, It hardly seems believable That you\u2019re no longer there.You left me far too early Before your time it seems, And now you\u2019ll never have the chance To ful?ll all those dreams.However hard it is though I will take comfort in the thought Of all the memories I have And the happiness you brought.You always lived life to the fullest But mine won\u2019t be the same, Until the day when I can see Your smiling face again.YOUR
