brain food Sheila Quinn Dishpan Hands I have a brain that seems to be constantly hungry.Feeding it consists of a rather wide variety of experiences.My brain loves innovation and creativity, so learning about those things keeps it happy.It also thrives on learning about culture, history, art, sports, people, and as many new perspectives on different things as possible.It thrives on spectrums.A lifelong learner, perhaps thanks to having such a bright, gifted teacher for a Mum, I am aware that this hunger is never going to truly go away.As a small person it was pretty hungry too.I fed it by reading, by crafting, playing, learning, obsessing in my own little ways about all kinds of different things.By having one of my brothers hold my legs while I dove into the big cardboard box (probably from a stove) that was full of books in our grandparents\u2019 attic, to pull out new ones, and poring over our grandfather\u2019s collection of original Popular Mechanics magazines, and reading our Dad\u2019s collection of books about the Holocaust, the devastation experienced by so many people worldwide and those ripple effects.Those left an impression that will last my lifetime.Sometimes I have fed it what might be perceived as less healthy snacks, devouring pop culture and fashion magazines, watching corny shows and movies \u2013 but in there were weird nuggets that lent themselves well to various moments, from bonding with fellow fans to being able to answer trivia questions.As online culture as grown as a popular vehicle for learning, TED Talks piqued my interest.According to their of?cial website, \u2018TED is a non-pro?t devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less).TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics \u2013 from science to business to global issues \u2013 in more than 100 languages.\u2019 These TED Talks were fascinating, but I was left still\u2026hungry somehow.In the last year-and-a-half or so, the trend towards learning-centric media has surfaced \u2013 mostly offered online, these classes typically use celebrity personalities from all walks of the world \u2013 and offer their classes, once exclusive to in-person seminars, retreats and cruises where participants spent their time immersion in the learning world of that leader.That\u2019s about as exclusive as it gets \u2013 you have to have the money for the course, the trip and the time.Enter MasterClass.While it\u2019s not the only out?t using this branding as a concept for their services, it\u2019s the only one whose brand name is exactly that.Offered online, MasterClass is one slick machine.Featuring a star- studded line-up of \u2018instructors\u2019, this online service isn\u2019t doesn\u2019t just have interesting content, it is sharp.Stylized.Beautiful.As I did a trial of the workings I was swept up by the carefully crafted show arranged for each presenter.They suited them so well! As my hungry brain demanded a bigger snack, bored of movies and Sudoku and some of my beloved series, having watched them several times, I decided I would take the plunge, make the investment and join one of these workshops.The content on MasterClass truly clicked when I perused the content, and with instructors like Anna Wintour (Editor of Vogue Magazine), David Sedaris (Writer), Helen Mirren (Actress), Neil Gaiman (Writer), Neil De Grasse Tyson (Astrophysicist), Margaret Atwood (Writer), Ron Finley (Gardener), Sheila E.(Drummer/Musician), Gordon Ramsay (Chef), Kelly Wearstler (Interiour Designer), Jeff Koons (Avant-Garde Artist), Diane von Furstenberg (Clothing Designer), Penn & Teller (Magician/ Entertainers), Bobbi Brown (Make- Up Artist/Cosmetics Specialist), Sara Blakely (Owner and Founder of Spanx undergarments company), and the magni?cent RuPaul Charles (Entertainer/Author/Drag Queen), I was sold.This wasn\u2019t an inexpensive adventure into learning \u2013 at roughly $260 for the year \u2013 yet, this was $260ish \u2026for the year.This is a gift that has kept on giving, as my imagination and awareness broadens, fed by people who\u2019ve crafted careers that have dipped, waned, soared, keened.Topics that didn\u2019t leap off of the webpage for me resulted in connection and new interests, new perspective.While today the investment in some kind of learning is that much more tempting, as we seek to better ourselves and not melt into the many screens talking at us, the opportunity to hear how such a range of interesting people have made their way in the world, how stumbles and hurdles have affected them is refreshing.They look into the camera.They speak about their journey.They give us ideas about our own.If your brain is feeling strange, hungry, squeezed, sleepy, exploring how you can feed it (and actually feel quite a lot better) is the ultimate adventure.MasterClass is working for me \u2013 what will work for you?Exploring how we can learn more can happen on the internet, in a library, with local teachers of all types of trades.Hobbies are our best friend now more than ever.Perk up that grey matter, learn something new.Happy Foraging!

events,\u201d said Robert Legault.Quebec rose to 686, an increase of three; and the number of people in intensive care increased by eight, to 183.In the Eastern Townships 31 new cases were recorded on Monday, but the overall number of active cases in the region decreased by 12, to 365.Although 141 of those cases are in the Sherbrooke area, the Du Granit and Coaticook sectors remain the areas with the highest concentration of infections in relation to their population.There were no new deaths in the region but the number of hospitalizations and people in intensive care both increased by two, for totals of 19 and six respectively.A total of 2,399,934 doses of vaccine had been administered as of Monday morning out of 2,836,485 doses received by the province in total, accounting for 28 per cent of the provincial population.Another 230,490 doses of P?zer are expected this week and 18,960 doses of AstraZeneca that were received last week are still in transit through the health and social services network.In the Eastern Townships more than one in four residents have now received at least one dose, with more than 1,000 people now having received their second.The Memphremagog area continues to lead the pack in terms of vaccine coverage, with 31.9 per cent of all residents partially vaccinated.The percentage of positive test results showing the presence of a variant in Quebec is now at 78.7 per cent, with 22,821 having been con?rmed across the province.Of those, 475 con?rmations have been in the Estrie region, where the average con?rmation rate of variants has been 73.8 per cent over the last week.AstraZeneca cut-off age CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 By Michael Boriero The Eastern Townships\u2019 sports community was rocked over the weekend, as members from hockey, football, and baseball organizations reacted to the sudden loss of local scorekeeper and announcer, Steve Gosselin.\u201cSteve will be greatly missed, not only as a volunteer, as a work colleague, but also, he was a brother to me and to so many people.We were privileged to share so many wonderful moments with him,\u201d said Robert Legault, public relations of?cer for the Sherbrooke Expos.Gosselin, who was in his mid-40s, was discovered in his home by the Sherbrooke Police Service (SPS) on Saturday morning.He had been in isolation for ?ve days after recently receiving a positive COVID-19 test result.According to Legault, Gosselin spoke to his parents and a friend on Friday evening.When his parents didn\u2019t hear from him the next day, they decided to call the SPS to check up on him.There will be a coroner\u2019s report to determine the exact cause of his death.Legault told The Record that he met Gosselin more than 30 years ago, working with the Sherbrooke Canadiens, a professional ice hockey team in the area.Legault said that Gosselin wore many hats; he was a scorekeeper, timekeeper, and an announcer.He eventually became involved with the Expos, the city\u2019s senior amateur baseball team, the Champlain College Lennoxville Cougars football and hockey teams, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League\u2019s Sherbrooke Phoenix, and the Pif Classique Softball Tournament.\u201cHe was the kind of guy that would say \u2018yes\u2019 and come and get involved in all kinds of events,\u201d said Legault.\u201cHe worked football games, hockey games, lacrosse games, softball; he did so many things in these areas.\u201d He was one of the main announcers at the Amedée Roy Stadium, home of the Expos, he continued.Gosselin started by replacing Legault, the announcer at the time, when he was sick or on vacation.When Legault left for Montreal, Gosselin became the go- to announcer.He was a consummate professional when it came to of?ce of?ciating.For the past three years, he has been Hockey Estrie\u2019s chief marker, responsible for overseeing and training all of the region\u2019s scorekeepers.Gosselin was part of the organization\u2019s overhaul plans.\u201cIt has been three years now that we\u2019ve made scorekeepers more of a priority, they were always volunteers that we didn\u2019t pay as much attention to, but with Steve we started giving more credibility to the work done by scorekeepers,\u201d said Director General Jasmin Gaudet.Gaudet added that he was shocked and saddened to hear the news of his death.He had a major in?uence on the organization\u2019s information system.They don\u2019t work with paper anymore, everything is digitized, and Gosselin had a hand in that process.The director general said he doesn\u2019t know if Gosselin had any underlying illnesses.He was passionate about sports, Gaudet continued, and for his job as an of?ce of?cial.He will be missed for his perfectionism, calmness, and approachable character.\u201cWe organize a lot of tournaments and Steve was a part of a lot of them here in Sherbrooke, so I knew him from all over,\u201d said Gaudet.\u201cHe\u2019s someone I saw frequently throughout the year, we spoke frequently, too.\u201d Champlain College Athletic Director Sylvain La?amme said his phone blew up on Saturday once the news started to trickle into the sports community.Gosselin was part of the school\u2019s sports scene for roughly 15 years, announcing and scorekeeping hockey and football games.\u201cHe was somebody that everybody knew [and] that everybody had a chance to meet,\u201d said La?amme.\u201cHe was a friendly person, you know, easygoing and everything, so it\u2019s a huge loss for the community.\u201d It was a complete shock, nobody wanted to believe it, he explained, and it\u2019s even harder because due to pandemic restrictions they won\u2019t be able to gather in large numbers to celebrate his life.He plans to do something special whenever restrictions are lifted.\u201cHe was just a great person, fun to be around, never complained about anything.He was more than just somebody that worked for us, he was part of the Cougar family because he\u2019s been with us for long,\u201d said La?amme.Sports organizations in the Eastern Townships mourn the sudden loss of Steve Gosselin Federal Budget 2021: Highlights from the Liberal plan tabled Monday COURTESY ROBERT LEGAULT Steve Gosselin (right) was discovered in his home by the Sherbrooke Police Service (SPS) on Saturday morning.The Canadian Press Highlights from the federal Liberal budget tabled Monday by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland: $30 billion over the next ?ve years, and $8.3 billion ongoing for early learning and child care and Indigenous early learning and child care.The plan would aim to see an average drop in fees next year by 50 per cent for preschooler daycare spaces and an average of $10-a-day care by 2026.$3 billion over ?ve years, starting in 2022-23, to Health Canada to

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Another take on death and taxes Although it\u2019s often attributed to Mark Twain, the certainty of death and taxes was originated by Benjamin Franklin.From another perspective two topics impact everyone: health and money \u2013 and both are sitting precariously on a balance board.On the health side, for the last year the world has been operating on the premise that a vaccine would be found to defeat the COVID 19 virus and that life would return to a semblance of normality in some reasonable time.A year after billions of dollars were plowed into ?nding a vaccine, success seemed to be upon us \u2013 not one but several vaccines with high ef?cacy were developed in record time, spurring hope that the decimation of both the economy\u2019s and individual\u2019s health would no longer be in jeopardy.These last few weeks are turning hope into hesitancy \u2013 PR stumbles in the communication of vaccine safety, delays in the rollout of global and nationwide injections, possibilities of serious side-effects and political gaffes in getting messages to citizens about their behavior has been weighing on the minds of people who had not made up their mind about getting a shot and changing the minds of some who had originally wanted to.With only 20 per cent of the population vaccinated at least once, the third uptick in cases caused by variants is not helping us move toward \u201cherd immunity\u201d.Two things are certain when we think about our health: the pandemic has advanced scienti?c innovation exponentially \u2013 our technological skills for discovering cures for diseases that have long plagued humankind have never seemed as honed.The pandemic has also laid bare the de?ciencies in our present systems designed to keep us healthy.How to ?x the way society organizes the delivery of healthcare is evident \u2013 more digitization, more community care, less fee-for-service, more patient- centred treatment by groups of professionals, more early education about illness-prevention, etc.What is not clear is whether governments will devote the same attention and resources to these once the crisis is over.The money side is equally confusing, bifurcated, worrying \u2013 pick your own descriptor \u2013 which will depend on whether or not you are one of the people who lost their job, their business, their education - pick your adjective.If you are, your plans for moving up the income and social scale have been derailed.If you are not \u2013 meaning you still have an income \u2013 you may be better off than before, because you have received pandemic ?nancial support, which you\u2019ve deployed to buy a bigger home or put in the stock market.So residential real estate and equities are going crazy higher every day, giving pause to many who see the bubbles and wonder when they will burst.I am whole-heartedly in the camp of Dave Rosenberg, a ?nancial blogger who wrote recently, \u201cIt is fanciful to believe that we come out of the ?rst global pandemic in over a century into a world of new-found sustainable in?ation.Or that a massive surge in public sector de?cits and debts, producing little more than a short- term sugar high, have assured us an economic future replete with the \u201cRoaring Twenties\u201d and a \u201cGoldilocks\u201d economic scenario.understand that excesses will always go further than you think (where we are now) but that no bubble ever corrected by going sideways (no sense timing it; just know that it\u2019s out there).\u201d In what we thought were more normal times \u2013 before 2020 \u2013 most of us went about our lives not thinking every day about our responsibilities as a citizen of this province and country.Our waking hours were ?lled with making a living and a life for ourselves and perhaps a partner and children.That may no longer be enough.The pandemic is weakening many of our societal norms and mores, like going to school and to work, not expanding the authority of police unduly, not abusing drugs and so on.Change is happening, like it or not.You may want to think about what you value of the old normal, and what you would welcome when the new normal comes.Dian Cohen is an economist and a founding organizer of the Massawippi Valley Health Centre.Cohendian560@gmail.com.Dian Cohen seniors safe and improve their quality of life.$2.2 billion in

COVID-19: Rising rates of domestic and social violence By Vivek Venkatesh UNESCO co-Chair in Prevention of Radicalisation and Violent Extremism; Professor of Inclusive Practices in Visual Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University Cécile Rousseau Professor, Division of Social and Cultural Psychiatry, McGill University David Morin Chair professor, Faculté des Lettres et sciences humaines, École de politique appliquée, Université de Sherbrooke Ghayda Hassan Professor, Clinical Psychology, Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its second year, evidence continues to grow that an unequal burden of illness and death has fallen on marginalized people.At the same time, the collateral damage of a year of shutdowns and con?nement \u2014 including economic dif?culties, social isolation and mental health problems \u2014 disproportionately affects racialized communities.Reports show an increase in domestic violence and possibly in child maltreatment during the pandemic.This is partially due to decreased access to protective family and social networks as well as school resources.Further reports show an increase in discrimination towards minorities, as well as a rise in hate speech and tensions that target racialized groups.Several violent incidents, including the mass shooting in Atlanta, have targeted Asian people.Increased risks and lowered resiliency Our team of interdisciplinary psychiatrists, psychologists, social scientists and education specialists has focused on assessing the social and cultural impact of COVID-19 on marginalized Canadian communities.Our results suggest that the pandemic has not only decreased resiliency for individuals as well as communities, but has also simultaneously increased risk factors for violence.For example, two key approaches to prevention \u2014 lockdowns and travel restrictions \u2014 have been topics for increasingly divisive political discussion.Meanwhile, there has also been growing anxiety surrounding economic uncertainty during the pandemic.Both of these factors have increased social polarization linked to race.The rapid online spread of conspiracy theories assigns blame to speci?c minority groups for the present crisis.Elsewhere, economic and social consequences of the pandemic are adversely affecting people who earn lower incomes.Social isolation or over-crowded housing and an increase in substance abuse amplify the fragile mental health of stressed individuals facing an uncertain future.These factors are also occurring in increasingly polarized political contexts such as the recent insurrection at the Capitol, which in turn increased the odds of inter-group violence.These phenomena are not unique to North America and Europe, with examples of organized violence by the public followed by state-led retaliatory action on the rise worldwide.Threats to civil liberty to enforce public health measures and control protest or dissent have exposed unaddressed, underlying grievances of systemic discrimination and fuelled sentiments of global injustice.Applying the lessons learned Public health policy can weigh the risks and bene?ts associated with potential COVID-19 transmission, with the effects of shutdown and con?nement on speci?c groups such as racial minorities.While pursuing control of the COVID-19 pandemic protection via vaccination programs, now is the time to promote a public health perspective based on human rights that emphasizes the interconnected roles of social policies, education and the media.Lessons learned during the ?rst wave of the pandemic can inform the plans for lifting lockdowns and restrictions, as well as approaches to prevention and resilience as the pandemic continues.These should include the issue of social and interpersonal violence prevention.Consultation with community organizations, faith- based communities and other local groups in advance of lockdowns being lifted can inform decisions about which groups are most in need of protection as restrictions lift.Research on prevention of different forms of violence reveals approaches that can help reduce discrimination and behaviour based on prejudice.These approaches include analyzing all perspectives before arriving at judgments and learning how to empathize with those who are less fortunate.An important role for health and education professionals is to advocate for Indigenous and racialized peoples experiencing the marginalizing consequences of the pandemic, such as its potentially damaging impact on their mental health.This advocacy may help preserve basic needs such as access to health care as well as social and community services and decrease psychological distress and reduce violence.While working to curb the current wave of the pandemic, governments and health systems can be be better prepared than they were for the ?rst wave.Beyond the physical health impact of COVID-19 on society, the related interpersonal and social violence can be devastating, and require immediate attention.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY

for most NHL games played The Canadian Press With ?les from Donna Spencer Patrick Marleau said he received many congratulatory messages, from former teammates to the legendary Wayne Gretzky himself, as he approached eclipsing the great Gordie Howe\u2019s record for NHL games played.He talked about one message in particular, from Gordie\u2019s son Mark.The younger Howe said his dad would have been proud to see his record broken by another player from his home province of Saskatchewan.The 41-year-old Marleau was set to suit up for the 1,768th time Monday, setting a new mark for NHL longevity, when the San Jose Sharks faced the Vegas Golden Knights.\u201cIt\u2019s something that I\u2019m pretty proud of, me being from Saskatchewan and Gordie being from Saskatchewan,\u201d Marleau, who hails from the small rural community of Aneroid, said before the record-setting game.\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty cool connection.\u201cPart of the message that Mark gave to me yesterday was that it\u2019s kind of ?tting that I am from Saskatchewan, and that (Gordie) would be very proud of me breaking the record tonight, being a small-town farm boy from Saskatchewan.\u201d Marleau\u2019s wife Christina and four sons are scheduled to be at the road game, which wouldn\u2019t be possible in San Jose, where fans still aren\u2019t allowed during the pandemic.\u201cMy wife, I couldn\u2019t have done it without her over all these years,\u201d Marleau said.\u201cShe\u2019s by far my biggest supporter.\u201cI can\u2019t thank her enough and I can\u2019t thank the boys enough.\u201d Since being picked second overall in the 1997 NHL draft by San Jose, Marleau has notched 566 goals and 630 assists.Apart from two seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and eight games with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Marleau has spent the rest of his career with San Jose.Marleau said by his ?fth year in the NHL he had an idea that he would be in for a long professional career.\u201cYou\u2019ve had some good years, you\u2019ve played a number of games, but you\u2019re starting to feel you\u2019re getting a really good grasp on the hockey lifestyle and what you need to do to be successful,\u201d he said.Told that the Golden Knights had spoken in glowing terms about Marleau\u2019s achievement before the game, the veteran Sharks forward said he was humbled.\u201cIt\u2019s super special to have that respect, and to have guys say such kind words,\u201d Marleau said after a pause.\u201cyou battle with these guys day in and day out.They know the grind.They know what it takes to play in this league.And for them to show their respects and have all these kind words, it\u2019s very humbling.\u201d Flames winger Milan Lucic, who was set to be honoured Monday night at the Saddledome for reaching 1,000 career games, marvelled at Marleau\u2019s mark.\u201cPretty awesome,\u201d Lucic said.\u201cIt goes to show how durable and great of a player he\u2019s been since he entered the league in \u201897.\u201cWhen you hit a thousand, you think back on how long and how hard it is to get to this mark.And then you add on another, what is it 760?That\u2019s another nine, 10 years there.\u201d Calgary coach Darryl Sutter, who was Marleau\u2019s ?rst NHL coach with the Sharks, said setting the NHL games record is more than a testament to Marleau\u2019s durability.\u201cWell, there\u2019s four or ?ve things (that) obviously go into (the record),\u201d Sutter said.\u201cNumber one you\u2019d say longevity, but you\u2019d have to say professionalism, training, healthy, play two positions, great attitude, great work ethic, not playing just for the money, playing because he loves the game.All those things go together.\u201cIt\u2019s just going to get added onto.Anyone who breaks Gordie\u2019s record, not including WHA games, it\u2019s signi?cant.\u201d Marleau also helped Canada win two gold medals at the Olympics in 2010 in Vancouver and 2014 in Sochi.Howe also played an 419 games in the World Hockey Association, which don\u2019t count toward his NHL record.San Jose Sharks center Patrick Marleau (12) works for the puck against Anaheim Ducks center Danton Heinen (43) during the second period

warning one to back off?Do you really need to push yourself to the point of pain for a good workout?Dear Reader: You\u2019re correct on both points.The idea of \u201cNo pain, no gain,\u201d which actually dates back to the second century, became widely accepted as an exercise mantra at the start of the 1980s.That\u2019s when Jane Fonda\u2019s exercise video empire brought aerobics to the masses.(People of a certain age may also remember \u201cFeel the burn,\u201d another popular phrase of the era.) And yes, the sensation of pain is part of the body\u2019s alert system.It instantly lets us know that something, somewhere, is amiss.Elite athletes and hardcore ?tness enthusiasts may continue to adhere to the \u201cNo pain, no gain\u201d way of training.However, when the goal isn\u2019t breaking records or winning medals but rather the pursuit of good health, we think that a more moderate approach works best for the rest of us.When having this conversation with our own patients, we always refer to the part of the Hippocratic oath that states, \u201cDo no harm.\u201d Note that when people talk about pain in relation to exercise, they\u2019re actually referring to discomfort.It makes itself known in the burning sensation you feel in the muscles or lungs during exertion, and the fatigue that sets in when you push your limits.The burning occurs because your muscles\u2019 need for oxygen exceeds the supply delivered in the blood; when that\u2019s the case, they switch from aerobic to anaerobic activity, which doesn\u2019t require oxygen.This leads to the formation of lactic acid, a byproduct of anaerobic respiration.The longer and harder you work while generating energy anaerobically, the greater the lactic acid buildup, and the greater the burn.Discomfort might also mean the stiffness and aches in muscles and joints that many people experience a day or two after a particularly vigorous or sustained workout.The delayed soreness is the result of microscopic tears in the muscles and nearby connective tissues.The gain part of that discomfort is two-fold.The accumulation of lactic acid plays a role in increased blood ?ow to the muscles, which helps with increased strength and endurance.Delayed soreness is believed to be a side effect of the healing process.It occurs as muscles repair themselves, and emerge stronger than before.Outright pain should never be part of your exercise routine.If you ever feel a sensation that goes beyond discomfort and ?rmly into the realm of pain - anything that\u2019s sharp, stabbing or sudden - it\u2019s a sign that something\u2019s wrong.Stop what you\u2019re doing so you don\u2019t cause more damage.The same goes for post-exercise soreness or pain that becomes extreme enough that you are unable to lift or use a limb.You need to stop that activity until you\u2019ve fully recovered, or else risk injury.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.)

hard to believe that March is now behind us.It was a month of re?ection for many as we marked the one-year anniversary of the pandemic.However, despite what is happening, the Wales Home team put together another special month for its residents.We are pleased to announce that a few volunteers have reintegrated into our home including volunteer visitors and piano music on the CHSLD units with Debbie Knowles-Johnston.Employees and residents enjoyed sugar on snow on the 11th.Residents received individual visits for their birthdays.Gifts and cards were provided by The St.Andrew\u2019s Church Women.This month we saw decorations change from St.Patrick\u2019s Day to Easter.Throughout the home we also enjoyed weekly movies and programming on our internal television system.Some of our activities included bingos, exercises, trivia, Friday afternoon treats, one on one visits, brunches, and to celebrate International Women\u2019s Day, we offered \u2018spa\u2019 activities with special treats for the ladies.Virtual concerts in celebration of St.Patrick\u2019s Day were offered by Lou Simon\u2019s and Laurent Hubert and France Thibault.In the CHSLD some of our activities included bowling, bean bag toss, colouring and disc toss.Door-to-door \u2018Friday Treats\u2019 continue to be distributed every week which the residents look forward to.The warmer weather offers a number of residents more opportunity to enjoy the outdoors which has been boosting spirits.Although the pandemic is still upon us, we are doing our best to keep residents active and as ful?lled as possible.Welcome to Audrey Lowe, Violet Thorneloe and John Walker.Our sympathies are extended to the family and friends of David Ryan, Marcel Wilson, Vera Armstrong, Margaret Stevens, Betty McConnell, and Agathe Morel.If you are looking for more information, you can visit our website at www.waleshome.ca and Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ ResidenceCHSLDWales for photos and news updates.Regulations change quickly but currently primary caregivers are permitted to visit so each resident has the chance to see two of their family members or close friends (one per 24- hour period).We are also offering video conferencing to allow the residents the opportunity to socialize with their loved one\u2019s face to face.Continue to watch our social media and website for more details and we\u2019ll publish another account of the home\u2019s activities next month.We look forward to seeing more ?owers bloom around the Home.As a workplace, as a community, province, country, and world, we continue to ?ght this pandemic.Together, we can, and we will succeed.Until next time\u2026.wishing you all a terri?c month.About to blow Dear Annie TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 2021 Dear Annie: I\u2019ve been married for 26 years.I have a 24-year-old son at home on the autism spectrum, and his 4-year- old daughter, of whom he has full custody.They get by with my help, and money, of course.I have always been a very loving and supportive husband.I cook, clean, do laundry and whatever else needs to be done.I\u2019m getting older now and developing arthritis.For a while, I would push through the pain to pamper my wife.Now, when we sit down, she throws her leg on me and says, \u201cRub my feet.\u201d I didn\u2019t mind when she appreciated it, but now that she expects it, this ruins it for me.If I say no, she gets upset.When I try to talk to her about it, she turns it back on me and says that I shouldn\u2019t blame her for my problems.She said that since I\u2019ve been doing it so long, she just expects it.This is not very comforting.She said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you have some alone time and do something that makes you happy?\u201d For 26 years, I\u2019ve never had alone time.I go to work, and then go home to my family.If I tell my wife I want to go somewhere by myself, she assumes I\u2019m going to meet another woman.Plus, after 26 years of only thinking about my family, I have no clue what makes me happy.I just know I\u2019m not.- Resentment Dear Resentment: No one likes to feel unappreciated.Your wife ordering you to rub her feet sounds like she is acting more like a tyrant than a considerate, loving partner.Then again, you have allowed this reign of terror for quite some time.Instead of brewing like a little teakettle that is going to blow, just tell her exactly how you feel.It is understandable that her lack of appreciation has made you not want to do nice things for her, but you have to tell her that.Couples therapy could help ease this conversation, so that pent-up resentments could be dealt with calmly.Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from the 63-year-old mother whose children felt she was wasting her money by going back to school and ?nishing her degree.I dropped out of college to put my husband through school when his father became ill and could not help him ?nancially anymore.After four children, two of whom got college degrees, I decided to go back to college and ?nish my degree.I chose to major in accounting.I graduated cum laude at the age of 56.It took me seven months to get the job of my dreams, but after eight years of working, my husband and I were able to pay everything off, accumulate a great nest egg, and now we can travel wherever we want.Better yet, our children don\u2019t have to worry about taking care of us if things were to get bad.Our children would not have dared to tell me I was making a mistake, even though my husband had a nice pension in addition to Social Security.I don\u2019t know what this woman\u2019s situation is, but she is making a great choice to go for what she wants.I hope she ?nishes what she started.- Happy I Went Back to College Dear Happy I Went Back: Thank you for sharing your letter.You set a wonderful example that it is never too late to ful?ll your dreams and that taking risks can pay off.Congrats again.In addition to the ?nancial security that you have achieved, you have the knowledge that you acquired by going back to school.I am reminded of a family saying: \u201cYou can lose your money, your looks and your youth, but no one can take away your education.\u201d \u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

choose a security answer that someone cannot easily guess; safely share the answer with the recipient.This means do not share it in the email noti?- cation message.2.The importance of protecting personal ?- nancial information It may be tempting for your teen to download and use a third-party ?ntech app to help manage their ?nances like their student budget, get rewards or check their credit score.Here are some general principles you can share with them.It\u2019s their responsibility to keep their personal ?nancial information con?dential.Sharing personal ?nancial information could mean that no matter what security features the app has in place, the ?nancial institution may hold them responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions.3.The importance of reading bank account agreements Bank account agreements contain important information, such as fees for certain types of transactions and the steps that your teen must take to protect themselves from authorized use of their account.For example, it\u2019s important that your teen read their bank account agreement to know what fees are associated with each type of transaction, such as e-transfers.3 things parents should teach their kids about money PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 12 Tuesday, april 20, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Your Birthday TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 2021 If you spend too much time pondering over what to do, you will miss out on some valuable opportunities.Domestic matters, once resolved, will give you the freedom to adopt your lifestyle of choice.Make peace of mind a priority.Stick to the un?ltered truth.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Listen carefully.Giving others the chance to explain themselves will make it easier for you to keep the peace.Take the high road, and you\u2019ll have no regrets.Personal growth will lead to better decisions.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Your curiosity will get you into trouble if you don\u2019t abide by the rules and regulations.Think twice before you get involved in something questionable.An impulsive move will limit you.CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Money will be tight if you haven\u2019t saved for an unexpected expense.Don\u2019t feel you must buy someone\u2019s love or purchase things for others.Keep your life simple and moderate, and live within your means.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) - Mixing business with pleasure will put you in a vulnerable position.Don\u2019t share personal information or give anyone insight into your feelings.Time is on your side;

You can probably ?nd a small jar in your supermarket - look for a bright, yel- low-colored lid.(There is an Australian version called Vegemite, but it is a very poor cousin.) The oldest world bridge champion was Boris Schapiro, who won the Senior Pairs in 1998 when 89 years old.His partner was Irving Gordon from Scotland.They scored a cold top on this deal.Two hearts showed opening values with hearts and either minor.Three clubs was an inquiry.North\u2019s ?rst double indicated clubs; his second, extra values.South ran to four spades, but when doubled, retreated to the better ?t.A diamond lead would have been lethal, but West chose a heart.Schapiro ruffed on the board and played a trump to his queen and West\u2019s ace.Again, a diamond shift would have been effective, but West thought from the bidding that South had four spades (so no discards) and was worried that he had the diamond jack.So West switched to a spade.South won, drew the missing trump and ran the spades, discarding a diamond loser.Schapiro lost only one trick in each minor.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW BromeCounty News Tuesday, april 20, 2021 Estrie, Montérégie, Greater Montreal Residential, Commercial \u2022 English, Français, Italiano Chartered Real Estate Broker AEO, B.Ed, MFA, CMA 1.800.528.3533 \u2022 joanne.birtz@yahoo.ca Les Immeubles Coldbrook Inc., Real Estate Agency Bio: https://coldbrook.ca/en/agent/joanne-birtz/ Make it Happen!

grounds.Many customers came in and found unusual treasures at the rummage sale held on last Friday and Saturday.The ladies of the Brome Hall were very pleased with the results.It took a lot of time to get everything organized but it was well worth it.This coming Friday and Saturday, April 23, and 24, the garage sale will be happening.The opening hours on Friday are 1 p.m.to 6 p.m.and on Saturday it will be held from 9 a.m.to 3 p.m.There will only be one rack of clothes, mainly leather jackets, and then there will be sports equipment, kitchenware, toys, books, some furniture, and too many items to list.Everything must go as the renovations in the hall will be starting later this spring and there is no room for storage.The committee wishes to remind everyone that masks are obligatory and no children are allowed to come to the sale.Right: The ladies of the Brome Hall Committee were very pleased with the sales of over $3,000 at the rummage sale By Louise Smith After not meeting for a few months because of Covid restrictions, the Fordyce branch of the Women\u2019s Institutes of Quebec, has begun holding Zoom meetings for the past few months.On Wednesday, April 7, the branch meeting happened under the guidance of Michilyn Dubeau and it was chaired by the President, Norma Sherrer.In April two members are having a birthday, Elaine Bromby, and Evelyn Lewis.Evelyn Lewis will be celebrating her 100th birthday on April 20.Evelyn was able to join the meeting on her son\u2019s computer in Kirkland and it was great to have her as part of the gathering.It is not easy to raise funds during Covid times, but Michilyn has a special section in her store on the main street in Dunham from which proceeds from the sales go directly to the Fordyce branch.Information on four bursaries available to Massey-Vanier graduates has been sent to Tany Moreland at Massey-Vanier.There is a branch bursary, and a county bursary, and two provincial bursaries to which students can apply.Paulette Mahannah provided the program for this month on the importance of farming, in particular smaller farms, in the health and prosperity of all members of society.During the pandemic, the value of being able to grow food locally has taken on new meaning in the general public.Farming is staying in Paulette\u2019s family.Her daughter is a farmer and her granddaughter, Laurie Campeau, recently received an award in farming from McDonald College on the west island of Montreal.If meeting outdoors is once again allowed, perhaps the May meeting will be held at Davignon Park.Otherwise, it will be another Zoom meeting.LOUISE SMITH Bookworm To show its support for local independent authors, six Eastern Townships authors will take turns setting up shop in the window of the bookstore.Well known former Record journalist Maurice Cross?eld will be ?nishing up his second novel Borderline Truths.Knowlton Players playwright Roger de la Mare will be starting something new as he has just ?nished a novella called A Gift for Charlie.Historical novelist Meghan Redmile will be working on her third novel but will it be set in her signature period of the 30s?Poet and fashionista, Sheryl Taylor, will be working on her memoirs.Storyteller and lawyer Peter Turner will be looking wistfully out the window as he has just ?nished his new novel Linebound.A man with experience working at all levels of Canadian politics, Peter White will be working on his memoirs.Due to the pandemic, Brome Lake Books is not encouraging crowds to gather and watch these authors work.Instead, Record feature photographer, Ben McAuley, son of Brome Lake Books owners Lucy Hoblyn and Danny McAuley, will be posting photos and videos on Facebook and Instagram of the authors at work.Authors, illustrators and publishers from all across Canada will be getting together to mark CIBD and they will be offering drawings for prizes and personal virtual events for individuals who make purchases at

pasture meat producer at Cheeky Creek Farms.After getting together to discuss some of the issues they faced, which included lack of transport for their goods and lack of artisanal butchers, they knew that things needed to change.\u201cWe asked ourselves what it would be like if producers pooled their resources and invested in the infrastructures needed for our services.\u201d They decided to adopt the cooperative model with a board of directors made up entirely of local producers.\u201cThe cooperative is owned by the members and operated by the members,\u201d explained Gingera.\u201cIt\u2019s a producer cooperative and we offer our services to the community to support production.\u201d Le terroir solidaire started off with eight members and they immediately began holding meetings to discuss what they needed and how they could grow their businesses.\u201cThe goal with the cooperative was if we are all having the same problems, what can we do to solve our own problems.\u201d A major issue brought up at these meetings was the marketing of producer\u2019s products.\u201cFarmers markets all happen on the same day and producers can\u2019t split themselves to go to all of the markets.There is more dif?culty in reaching our customers.We don\u2019t sell enough at the market to justify hiring an employee.\u201d That winter, Le terroir solidaire organized its own kiosk at the Sutton winter market that carried all of the different products of its members.\u201cWe had a rotating schedule for members in the coop to volunteer to do different markets.We split up members to be able to do more than one market.\u201d Le terroir solidaire ended up doing six different markets in its ?rst year which allowed members to get their products out to the community on a vaster scale and the coop to make important investments in equipment, like a new freezer and a fridge.A certain percentage of the pro?ts generated from sales goes back into the coop and a certain percentage goes back to the producer.\u201cAny pro?ts that are generated become pro?ts of members and we decide together where to invest it.\u201d Gingera emphasized that an important aspect of establishing the coop was to help make its members more pro?table.\u201cIt\u2019s a goal for the coop to make a pro?t to continue to invest in our members businesses or returning it to members so that they can be more pro?table in the end.\u201d Gingera explained that it is hard for a small, ecologically responsible producer to maintain their production in an industry that is continuously being taken over by large corporations.\u201cWhen you have giant corporations that own 99% of agricultural services, you are at the mercy of a system that isn\u2019t stable and no one is at that mercy of that system more than the farmer.\u201d Le terroir solidaire continued to grow and it went from eight to 18 members before the COVID-19 pandemic hit Quebec last year.\u201cWe weren\u2019t certain if the public markets would happen or if they did happen they wouldn\u2019t be looking the same at all.We quickly decided to set up a website to do orders online.It\u2019s a need that members want to ?ll and we set up an online platform where orders can be placed and delivered to customer\u2019s homes.\u201d Launching the website appeared to be the right decision, with produce selling out and coop membership jumped from 18 members to 29 members.Despite new members joining the coop all the time, Gingera said that they have standards for who they welcome into Le terroir solidaire.\u201cWe established a Charter of Values that focuses on regenerative farming practices.We want products that are truly local and sustainable.Members have to abide by certain production standards.\u201d For example, meat producers are expected to have animals that are pastured and grazed and vegetable farmers need to be cautious about the pesticides they use and cover their crops for biodiversity.These standards are set in place because Le terroir solidaire is not only about helping the producer, but also about helping the consumer to make better food choices.\u201cPeople think that what they are buying isn\u2019t a big deal but they do make a big impact.Businesses have doubled their production and they still can\u2019t meet demand because people are making that choice and buying more local.We want people to understand that there are local options.\u201d She added that supporting local producers is like a \u2018trickle effect.\u2019 \u201cPurchasing from the coop supports 30 local businesses that then go and purchase their ingredients from other local businesses, and so on.It\u2019s such an impactful decision.\u201d Le terroir solidaire already has a project in the works for this summer after applying for a grant.\u201cWe worked all winter on grant applications for a food transformation project.One hundred per cent of the ingredients come from Brome-Missisquoi and it focuses on surplus and transforming them.It\u2019s a secondary revenue source and it helps producers waste less,\u201d explained Gingera.\u201cWe set a list of products that we can create, like personal frozen pizzas or soup from carrots that weren\u2019t sold.We have a chef that will be creating, freezing, and hydrating products.\u201d And of course, it wants to increase its visibility in the community, they are at the point where they need full time employees at the summer market\u2019s, and continue to support its members and customers.\u201cIt\u2019s a solution owned by members that they can be proud of and make a real difference.\u201d COURTESY COURTESY Le terroir solidaire CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY

era of empowering people about helping our planet, I ?nd that kind of advice far from being durable.Of course in that kind of article, we can see the car parts industry pushing to sell more wipers.Just try to imagine if every driver in Brome-Missisquoi was doing as suggested, twice a year they would throw away almost 100,000 perfectly good wipers.How big a pile is that ?The durable and wise way to address poor performing wipers is to take care of them by wiping the rubber blades twice a year with rubbing alcohol and a soft rag.I do that and both my vehicles have 5-year-old wipers that perform as new ones would.When the blade can\u2019t be restored anymore, no need to throw away the whole wiper if it\u2019s not rusted or in bad shape.On many wipers, all you need is a new rubber blade insert.For the sake of our planet, could you please pass on this info to your readers.Thank you.JEAN GAUDET Brome County News welcomes your letters to the editor.Please limit your letters to 300

Bouchard, research advisor at the Cégep de Granby, in collaboration with partners from the college community, received a grant from the Secrétariat sur la conduite responsable de la recherche du Canada (SCRR) to develop a workshop on the ethics review of student research.A team composed of Bouchard, Marie Briand from Cégep de Jonquière, Marie-Chantal Dumas from Cégep Garneau and Lynn Lapostolle from the Association pour la recherche au collégial, will be designing an online ethics training activity intended to be held on Sept.23 and it will be offered across Canada.\u201cThe support and expertise of the Association pour la recherche au collégial is essential to the realization of this project and to the support of the partner colleges,\u201d said Bouchard.Each year, colleges offer pre- university and technical courses in which professors introduce thousands of students to research.According to the press release, while these are educational activities, it is important that the research conducted by college students be guided by ethical principles, such as respect for people and their well-being.\u201cThrough teaching, students will be immersed in ethical principles, which is part of their training as citizens.These are principles that can be found in other ?elds, for example in administration, health or education, and which will serve them throughout their lives,\u201d explained Vincent Larose, Director of Studies at Cégep de Granby.\u201cSociety must do everything possible to ensure that research involving human beings is done ethically in order to preserve public trust.The responsibility of evaluating the ethics of student work must be shared,\u201d explained Bouchard.When a researcher is looking to study a particular topic or issue, the project must ?rst be submitted to a research ethics board (REB).The REB protects the participants of the research by ensuring that ethical rules are respected.Cégep de Granby\u2019s REB was established in 2018 by its board of directors and it examines the ethics of each research project involving humans, weighing its advantages and disadvantages, before granting authorization to begin the work.In the case of research activities that are part of a course and whose primary purpose is pedagogical, however, the REB may delegate the review to the faculty.\u201cThis project is a very good example of inter-institutional collaboration and a much-awaited initiative by our REB, which will give us the appropriate tools to further our training and information mandate in the area of research ethics,\u201d said Marie-Josée Turgeon, Chair of the REB at Cégep de Granby.COURTESY Members of the research ethics board at Cégep de Granby from left to right : Jérôme Bourassa (Physics),

working at Knowlton Academy (K.A) since the start of the 2020- 2021 school year and this summer she is looking to take her experience in the classroom to her family\u2019s farm where she will have a bilingual day camp for children between six and 10 years old.Taking note as to how much her kindergarten class enjoy their Forest Friday outings at K.A., Mason wanted to provide children with the opportunity to get back to nature this summer all while taking advantage of the farm that has been in her family for two decades.\u201cEvery Friday we go to the woods in back of Knowlton Academy and it\u2019s very child-driven.They do what they want to do; some of them like running down the hill all day, we play hide and seek, we build forts, we identify bugs and plants,\u201d said Mason.\u201cI really love doing it.I want to bring what I\u2019ve seen and how happy those kids are.I want to bring that to the summer and give them the opportunity to go with that.\u201d Aware that other day camps exist in the area, Mason\u2019s day camp will be unique, providing children with the chance to engage with nature on a farm that has been in her family for more than 20 years.\u201cI have such a beautiful spot for them to go out and play and I have animals.With Covid, everything is so hard and I thought about doing something outdoors so that kids don\u2019t have to worry so much,\u201d explained Mason.\u201cSo many kids are stuck inside nowadays and Covid made it so there\u2019s nothing to do on the weekends and we spent all winter locked up.This way, kids get to go out and remember what it\u2019s like to play outside.They are learning to love to play outside, to love nature, and to explore the world around them.\u201d Mason\u2019s grandmother purchased the farm where the family had a cow barn up until her father transformed it into a horse barn.\u201cSince then we have had all kinds of horses there.We had draft horses for my whole childhood that we used in shows and for sleigh rides and wagon rides at home.Summers we were there all the time swimming in the pond.\u201d As a teacher, she recognizes that not every child gets to have an experience growing up surrounded by animals and the outdoors which she hopes will only make it that much more exciting.\u201cI will have horses to play with, bunnies, and I\u2019m hoping to get chickens to collect eggs.I am big on art so I want to give them crafts to do.I want to plan things whether outside, in the woods, or we use the hay mounts and do some crafts for part of the day,\u201d said Mason.\u201cSome kids live in apartments or they haven\u2019t been around animals or farms so I thought that it would be special.It gives them a little piece of the country.\u201d The vast property gives a lot for children to explore.\u201cWe will de?antly go out and walk the horses.There are creeks on the property to explore and we have a pond so we can go frog- hunting and ?shing.It\u2019s all just about being outside.\u201d She also plans on bringing children to explore the woods to identify different bugs, trees and plants, getting them involved in different science projects, painting, arts and crafts, yoga, and dance.\u201cI love making them do science experiments, like making our own bubbles, doing art with water and paint and using nature to make art.I think that\u2019s really cool.I really want the kids\u2019 input too about what they\u2019re interested in and I\u2019ll go with that.\u201d While the farm provides a lot of opportunity for fun, Mason emphasized that the day camp will be a balance between play and education.\u201cThe fact that I\u2019m a teacher gives me background, so I can teach them along the way.Kids don\u2019t get to do whatever they want when they are here.They are here to learn and to grow together in a way that\u2019s playful and with a chance to explore.\u201d She wants children to leave the day camp with more knowledge than they came with.\u201cI want them to come out of the summer camp having learned something about the world around them and about themselves.There are no mind-numbing activities, I want to engage their minds and get them thinking outside the box.\u201d Mason will have the help of a friend with experience working on a horse farm working with the children and she hopes that other members of her family will be involved.\u201cI love being home and near my family and that\u2019s why I love the farm.It\u2019s a place to gather and I can always go back there and my family is there.\u201d The summer day camp will start on July 5 and run to Aug.20 with 15 to 20 spots available and it will be bilingual.\u201cAll the kids need is to come with their healthy lunch, I\u2019ll make them a morning snack, and I\u2019ll be the one buying the materials.They should bring extra clothes too because they should plan on getting dirty.\u201d COURTESY COURTESY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604

By Louise Smith Cory Sylvester had his business on Albert Street for three years.He needed to expand, and a new location was found in the mini mall complex that houses the Lucky Dragon Restaurant on rue Principale.In the old location he could only have one customer at a time because of the small space and now ?ve customers at a time can enter the premises.The store is well laid out and the prices are exceedingly reasonable.Cory accepts donations of sporting equipment and now he is expanding to include some furniture.He is accepting donations during Covid times.He can be reached at 450-531-4975.The store\u2019s operating hours are designed to cover everybody\u2019s work schedule.It is open on Wednesdays to Fridays from 9 a.m.to 2 p.m.and Saturdays from 9 a.m.to 5 p.m.and Sundays from 9 a.m.to 4 p.m.Right next door to Deuxieme Tir Au But, at 350 rue Principale, suite 145, is Coiffure Spectrum, owned by Tonya Harvey.Her hair salon is suited for the whole family.She also offers hair services for people with special needs, mainly people with autism, ADHD, and for people with mobility issues.They even offer services for those who cannot get out.Coiffure Spectrum\u2019s goal is to adapt as best as possible its services to meet individual needs.Right: Owner Cory Sylvester is very happy in his new expanded premises.Deuxieme Tir Au But, the \u201cSecond Time Around\u201d store, has a new location New family literacy programming available We often hear that a parent is a child\u2019s ?rst teacher.That can be daunting for new parents, especially since those early years are busy, and families are juggling a lot of responsibilities.Add to that the extra stress during COVID, and young families are feeling stretched.Parents want to do the best they can for their children.However, they may not always feel equipped or con?dent, or know where to start.Parents certainly don\u2019t need another to do list to add to their family routine.The Yamaska Literacy Council (YLC) and the Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB) have teamed up to offer family literacy activities for families with children (0-5-years) that are accessible, ?t naturally into a family routine, are fun and FREE.YLC and ETSB are partnering to offer 2 programmes: YES, YOU CAN Yes, You Can is a series of a series of 5 interactive 60-minute workshops for English-speaking parents and their child(ren) aged 0-5 years that starts on May 3rd.The workshops offer tools to help parents and children be ready-to-learn! Each workshop will include a story time, a creative time and a relaxation time\u2026and of course good times! The workshops will be led by Sonia Baillon, teacher and yoga instructor.\u201cIt\u2019s so important that early learning activities be fun and creative and that they meet the child where they are at developmentally so that the experience can be a success.Success builds on success, so supporting parents in their child\u2019s early education is really bene?cial.Very young children learn a great deal through movement and their ?ve senses in a safe and supportive environment.In fact, studies have shown that movement anchors learning, for all ages.Positive emotions and making a personal connection play a big part in harnessing attention, so cultivating a nurturing and enjoyable family reading routine supported by practices that help both children and parents feel calm and centred is the key to success!\u201d says Sonia Baillon.Each family that registers will receive a free Yes, You Can bag (delivered to you!) that contains: the book that will be featured each week the materials for the craft local resources for families, and information about educational opportunities for adults a gift card to a local grocery store so that you can enjoy some health snacks during the workshops.Workshops will be virtual, and they will be recorded, so you can watch them again at their convenience.If you don\u2019t have access to Internet, YLC will ?nd a way to help you access the sessions.Who can join?English-speaking parents, grandparents and caregivers of children 0-5years, residing in Brome- Missisquoi & Haute-Yamaska.How do I join?Email Sonia at ylc.yesyoucan@gmail.com or call YLC at 450- 263-7503 Parent Workshops A series of workshops aimed at addressing needs identi?ed by parents with young children will be offered, including: Stress & Anxiety, Resilience and Helping your Child overcome Challenges.Details will be shared as soon as all workshops are con?rmed.Workshops will be held virtually and will be recorded.For more information about these workshops, follow the Yamaska Literacy Council on Facebook, call us at 450-263- 7503 or email info@yamaskaliteracy.ca The Yamaska Literacy Council, a community-based literacy organization, welcomes many parents who sign up for literacy services when their own children are ready to start school.\u201cHaving children can be a big motivation for parents to re?ect on their own experiences.Maybe they struggled with learning, or didn\u2019t have a positive experience at school.We often hear from parents that they want to support their child at school, and that they don\u2019t want their child to struggle like they did\u201d, says Wendy Seys, YLC Executive Director.If you have questions about the activities, or about pursing your own learning path, contact, YLC for info.We can connect you with local resources.For more information: Wendy Seys, Executive Director, YLC 450-263-7503, info@yamaskaliteracy.ca Submitted by Yamaska Literacy Council LOUISE SMITH PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 8 Tuesday, april 20, 2021 bcn@sherbrookerecord.com Brome County News PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Brome County News bcn@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, april 20, 2021 Page 9 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 10 Tuesday, april 20, 2021 BromeCountyNews VIA ZOOM* ASSEMBLÉE GÉNÉRALE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 27 MAI 2021 / MAY 27, 2021 17h00 / 5:00 PM ORDRE DU JOUR / AGENDA Procès-verbal de l\u2019assemblée générale 2020 / Minutes of the General Meeting 2020 Bilan ?nancier 2020/ Financial Statement 2020 Message du président / Chairman\u2019s Message *Les membres sont les bienvenus / Members welcome.Pour les détails d\u2019inscription, veuillez appeler / For registration details, please call : 450-243-6128 Avant 17h00, le 26 mai / before 5 :00 p.m.May 26 BIBLIOTHÈQUE COMMÉMORATIVE PETTES PETTES MEMORIAL LIBRARY About Townshippers Considering a career in health and social services?We can help you!

So I can understand why many photographers become discouraged but hey, it\u2019s all part of the game.I keep telling myself if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.Luckily there is an alternative for those who haven\u2019t had a great deal of luck in the ?eld.My preferred place is the Ecomuseum in Saint-Anne- De-Bellevue.It showcases Quebec\u2019s wildlife in a natural setting.It\u2019s a great way to spend the day alone, or with the family.On your walk through the forest, you\u2019ll see Red and Arctic Fox, Canada Lynx, Gray Wolves, Eastern Coyotes, River Otters, Black Bear and dozens of other mammals.They also feature birds of prey, namely four species of owls (Great Horned, Barred, Snowy and Northern Hawk) Bald eagles etc.For the beginning photographer, it\u2019s a place to really hone your skills.You can shoot your subject in a natural setting, the trick is to capture your mammal or bird without background objects such as fences or even other visitors.Equipment-wise the magic here is you can use virtually any decent lens as your subject is relatively close.I suggest bringing a monopod or tripod to assist in getting a clearer photo.I prefer monopods as they are much easier and lighter to carry.I\u2019ve visited this nature reserve many times over the past ?fteen years.When I started doing wildlife photography, it really helped me understand the inner workings of my camera.I quickly understood the importance of depth of ?eld, shooting parameters, shutter speed and bracketing.I was able to take a pic, check it in my view?nder, then make the necessary adjustments.I can\u2019t begin to emphasize how much easier it was when I was back out in the ?eld now that I understood my camera much better.The Ecomuseum is roughly and hour and ?fteen minutes from Lac Brome and well worth the trip for both photographers and wildlife enthusiasts.For those willing to travel even further, there\u2019s also Parc Omega in Montebello Quebec.Much like the Ecomuseum, this is a walk-through zoo as well only much larger.Some really great photo opportunities here, especially the artic and grey wolves.I can pretty much guarantee you will not be disappointed with either outdoor zoo, both are well managed with the security and well-being of the animals is at the forefront.These are just a couple of examples, go online and you\u2019ll ?nd many more in both Quebec and Ontario.Finally, I received a private message earlier this week asking me where to ?nd Red Foxes to photograph.Personally, I\u2019ve seen them everywhere.On back country roads, on my property, in the city as well strolling down the street.When I lived in Robinson\u2019s Bay, we had a family of foxes that would walk though our property early in the morning and return at dusk.I went out during the day when I knew they wouldn\u2019t be there searching for their den.At the very bottom of our property I discovered a huge boulder with a large entrance hole underneath.I was pretty sure I\u2019d found the den, so I returned home and got a few things I needed to set up a blind roughly forty feet away.A perfect spot hidden by a large brush.There I waited, sure enough around 7 p.m.that night they returned.I was only able to score a couple of pics as they scurried into the den when they heard the shudder of my camera in the otherwise quiet forest.Look for these large openings in the ground, hollowed out bases of large trees and preferably near a water source.Most Red Foxes build their dens close to a steam or pond.Ecomuseum Darren Murphy Behind The Lens DAREEN

selecting quality meats and cheeses involves any less intuition and skill.One of the most popular styles of sandwiches goes by many names, and what you call the sandwich may let others know which part of the country you call home.Each May, people pay homage to the \u201choagie,\u201d which is the name that people from Philadelphia and southern New Jersey bestow on a long, cold-cut sandwich.But these sandwiches can be enjoyed any time of year.There are many theories surrounding the origin of this sandwich\u2019s name, which is known as a submarine, grinder, hero, or torpedo in other regions.According to the food resource TheKitchn, this sandwich got its name from Italian immigrants who worked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, which was once known as Hog Island.Workers were known as \u201choggies,\u201d which eventually became \u201choagies.\u201d The name soon was extended to the sandwiches these workers frequently ate.Anyone can craft a delicious sandwich at home.Enjoy this

everything was re-used or put to other use - garbage would not have included plastic, for example, or many items we discard today.Was my grandmother not afraid, I asked?No, she had said, if you weren\u2019t afraid, you wouldn\u2019t get it.Somehow, the family escaped the illness.Submitted by Margaret Fordham Fulford News F500 HONDA ROTOTILLER for sale, 6 hp, 24\u201d till.Very good condition.Call 450-531- 5838.WANTED: 28x48 Dion thrashing machine or 28x46 McCormick thrashing machine.International or John Deere grain binder.Phone evenings 905-983-9331.300 Machinery By Tara Deschamps For Jason Kucherawy, dinnertime requires serious organization.The Toronto tour company owner will try anything, his wife mostly sticks with a vegetarian diet but will eat chicken and their kids\u2019 tastes are anyone\u2019s guess.\u201cI always have a backup plan: a pot of macaroni and cheese on the stove,\u201d said Kucherawy.But before he resorts to the backup plan, he often uses meal kits, which offer pre-portioned ingredients and recipes that can frequently be cooked in 30 minutes or less.While the kits make cooking simple, arranging them for a family, a solo diner or those with dietary restrictions takes strategy - something more Canadians have discovered during the COVID-19 pandemic.Twenty-two per cent of Canadians who purchased food like groceries or takeout online in 2020 also bought meal kits, up from 14 per cent in 2019, said Vince Sgabellone, an industry analyst for the NDP Group research ?rm.Almost half of Canadians who bought food online plan to purchase a meal kit in the next six months, he said.They\u2019ll have plenty to chose from as grocery chains like Loblaw and restaurants branching out during forced closures joined the meal kit trend during the pandemic.Kucherawy encountered a plethora of options about two years ago, when he tried his ?rst meal kit, Chef\u2019s Plate.He usually toggles between Chef\u2019s Plate, Hello Fresh, Good Food and some local options, depending on which menu his kids like best or is offering savings that week.He\u2019s found most meal kits cost between $70 and $80 a week for three meals of two servings each.Many services will provide meals for either two or four, which means those ordering for one or families with more than four members must do some extra planning.While Kucherawy\u2019s family has four members, he doesn\u2019t order meals for all of them because he never knows when a picky eater will strike.\u201cIf I were to order for four people, there\u2019s a chance that I\u2019d be stuck with something that I would have to eat four portions of, so I generally just buy meal kits for two,\u201d he said.He often ?nds two meals are enough to cover the whole family, if he and his wife each eat two-thirds of a portion and give the remainder to the kids.If the kids aren\u2019t appetized, he cooks them something else, but if they\u2019re sure to eat a particularly successful kit meal, he stretches it with extra ingredients.\u201cI\u2019ll go and buy an extra chicken breast or two.and if it\u2019s a rice dish, then I\u2019ll tweak the recipe and add some more of my own rice,\u201d he said.Becky Brauer, a co-founder of Fresh Prep, knew others with strategies like these, so her B.C.-based meal kit company sells extra servings of protein for between $4 and $9.Customers can choose from options including sockeye salmon, shrimp, beef, pork, chicken, marinated tofu and even plant-based burgers or Italian sausage.While there are meal kits geared towards kids or services that offer options just for children, the approach families take with other meal kits is often based on age.\u201cWith a younger child like a toddler, you\u2019re OK with still just ordering a two-serving plan,\u201d said Brauer.\u201cThen when you get into older kids or kids that need actually a portion of your serving size, we see families sort of scaling up.\u201d Meanwhile, many who order for one embrace leftovers.\u201cThese clients like to order the two- servings plans, so then they\u2019re cooking once, but they\u2019re eating multiple times from that meal,\u201d Brauer said.To determine which meal kit is the best ?t, Kieran Alkerton suggested using online reviews or seeking ?rst-time order discounts, which companies frequently offer on social media or their websites.\u201cYou can spend a good six to eight weeks just having very discounted meal kits,\u201d said the founder of Crisper Kits, a Toronto-based meal kit service that reduces waste by using reusable containers.Alkerton recommended people with dietary restrictions or preferences use that period to examine how accommodating a service is before locking into a subscription.Meat eaters, for example, often ?nd they have 20 options, while those who are vegetarian or vegan sometimes only have four or ?ve, he said.It\u2019s also important to look closely at cost because introductory deals won\u2019t last forever.Kucherawy pays Hello Fresh almost $80 for three meals.Some think that\u2019s pricey, but he say the kits saves on time, planning and sourcing ingredients.\u201cAnd I\u2019m making things I wouldn\u2019t think of on my own,\u201d he said.\u201cI can con?dently say I\u2019m a good cook now and wear my apron with pride.\u201d (The Canadian Press) Strategize when ordering meal kits for one, families, picky eaters and special diets PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW BromeCountyNews Tuesday, april 20, 2021 Page 15 Jean Blizzard- Martin February 29, 1928 -
