KS: Given I have a 18 month-old, I spent the ?rst six months of this pandemic at home on maternity leave.When I went back to work in the emergency room it was an eye opener to not only \u201cwhat is COVID\u201d in terms of real life people and their symptoms but also a great relief as we had put in place proper PPE (personal protective equipment) in order to protect the staff.It is an interesting time to start something new, but i feel with everyone being obligated to stay home , many are looking to spend money and ?nd experiences we can do during COVID, such as gardening, working out from home, going back to school online, and getting piercings.SQ: How have you found the experience since your grand opening?KS: My grand opening was Friday, May 22.When I announced we would do a 2 for 1 on that day the response was incredible and within 48 hours the day was booked, thus I opened a 2nd day of 2 for 1 Saturday, May 29.I cannot speak for other piercers but given i am only doing this a few times a month I wanted them to be as FULL as possible.For example just Saturday I did over 19 piercings from 9:30 a.m.to 4:00 p.m.I am set up within my father in laws tattoo shop which you may know is connected to their home, so my mother-in-law took care of her grandson/ my son the whole day, so i could pop in and say hi, and have lunch with him.SQ: Who are your supporters?KS: My supporters are de?nitely Mike and Beverly (her father and mother-in- law) who backed me in order to get the piercing course and helping me set up a place within their shop -Gipsy Tattoo.And of course my ?ancé Bryan who helps me non-stop whether it is to set up my shop, organize tiny jewelry or getting me lunch on the day I\u2019m working.Friends and family have quickly liked my Facebook page and shared my content to help me.My Facebook page is called: Piercing In?rmary - Katalina Smith - obviously a nod to my nursing career.SQ: What are your goals?Do you have many piercings yourself by the way?KS: My goal is to continue to be available to our community for their piercing needs whether that is to create a new piercing, change jewelry or even a contact for reliable information on healing process, signs of infection and recommendations.I know that my limited scheduled may make me unavailable to some people and that is really unfortunate but as I mentioned, my main career and full-time job is to be a nurse and I don\u2019t see that changing.As for piercings I used to have many in which I removed due to poor healing but I was young and didn\u2019t know what I know now about healing, though I do have many holes in my ears including helix and conch.Not to say that I won\u2019t get more, as working as a piercer makes me want some! Wishing Katalina Smith best of luck with her new business.Piercing In?rmary is located within the Gispy Tattoo shop, located at 1495 Boulevard Jean-Jacques-Bertrand, Cowansville, Quebec.For more

people working together as a community, also served as a kind of healing experience for people who have felt bottled up and isolated over the course of the pandemic.\u201cIt\u2019s time now to celebrate that we have a place where we can see each other safely and feel like we belong to a community again,\u201d she said.Lennoxville Borough President Claude Charron, who also took part in the project day, said that the plan is to put plants in the earth this coming Saturday.Looking back on the work from last weekend, he expressed appreciation for all who came out to help but added an extra word of thanks for Mathieu Poisson and Jim Davidson whose excavator equipment helped save many backs from being overworked in the process of moving large amounts of earth.In-person fall semester Square Queen CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Over 100 cattle perish in Stanstead East barn ?re By Michael Boriero The Régie intermunicipale de prévention et de protection incendie Memphrémagog Est sent 40 ?re?ghters to Stanstead East early Friday morning to contain a ?re that had engulfed a large cattle barn located on the grounds of Grenier Farm.The ?re completely destroyed the barn, killing around 140 cows trapped inside.The ?re department received a phone call at roughly 2 a.m., according to Battalion Chief Chris Goodsell.A passerby made the call after noticing something unusual in the distance.\u201cThe ?re had been burning for quite some time before we got alerted, before anyone saw it,\u201d said Goodsell.\u201cIt\u2019s at the end of a dead end road and if you look on google maps, the dead end road is not too far from the highway.\u201d Grenier Farm is visible to motorists driving along highway 55.However, with the curfew still in place overnight on Thursday, the roads were mostly unoccupied, Goodsell explained, which is why it took a while for someone to spot the ?re.According to the battalion chief, along with 40 ?re?ghters from Stanstead, Stanstead Township, North Hatley and Ayer\u2019s Cliff, a group also came in from Derby Line, Vermont.The American ?re?ghting unit brought in an extra tanker for support.\u201cWe have a great mutual aid agreement with the Americans,\u201d Goodsell said.\u201cWe have for close to 40 years, if not more, so any time there\u2019s any type of emergency across the border, we\u2019re allowed to go back and forth.\u201d There were 12 trucks in total at the scene, he continued, and it took roughly eight hours to contain the blaze.Goodsell told The Record that ?re?ghters in the region prepare speci?cally for these types of situations, as farms are rarely located nearby a ?re hydrant.He said ?re?ghters also complete preventative visits in the event they need to ?nd a water source.The ?re?ghters used about 45,000 gallons of water to combat the burning barn, taking advantage of a pond down the road to replenish the tankers.\u201cIn this particular call we never ran out of water once, our water source was about a kilometre up the road, there was a pond, so we were able to set up our pumps from there and ?ll our tankers and do what we call a tanker shuttle,\u201d said Goodsell.While they managed to contain the spread of the ?re, the barn was a total loss, entirely razed to the ground.Once the ?re?ghters got their bearings, it was mostly a defensive operation, Goodsell added, as they pushed the ?re towards the middle of the building.\u201cIt was a very long barn, so we had to set up basically at both ends and work our way towards the middle,\u201d he said.\u201cOur ?rst priority when we got there was to protect exposures because there were two other buildings close by and we wanted to make sure they didn\u2019t catch.\u201d Goodsell believes the ?re started on the south side of the barn, but he is waiting for the complete investigation.He mentioned that several neighbouring farmers came over to help the Grenier family.A few cattle escaped the ?re, so they needed a place to stay.\u201cThey always help each other, there were some cattle that [survived], but they no longer have the facility to hold them, so they work together to bring them to a different location,\u201d Goodsell said.PHOTOS COURTESY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL

classad@sherbrookerecord.com before June 8, 2021 The mood is brightening Terrasses were packed this past weekend \u2013 people are demonstrating how much we are all social animals and need to talk, touch and socialize in person.And all I hear about these past few days is getting back to the of?ce.Funny thing about that.From the beginning of agriculture to the Industrial Revolution and development of the of?ce, the way we work has, is, and will continue to change over time.The of?ce as we know it is barely 200 years old and is unlikely to survive much longer.The changes wrought by the pandemic have been sudden and dramatic.And before I launch into a diatribe about how we\u2019ll work in the future, let\u2019s consider for a moment, the questions on the minds of many people whose entire work experience except for the last year or so has been in an of?ce.There is no set \u201cre-opening\u201d date for everyone and no one is expecting that there will be an immediate or even gradual return to a pre-pandemic schedule.Statistics Canada tells us that at the beginning of 2021, 32 per cent of Canadian employees aged 15 to 69 worked most of their hours from home, compared with only 4 per cent in 2016.Of all these new \u201cteleworkers\u201d, 90 per cent reported being at least as productive, i.e.accomplishing at least as much work per hour at home as they did previously in their usual place of work.More than half (58 per cent) reported accomplishing about the same amount of work per hour while roughly one third (32 per cent) reported accomplishing more work per hour.Various other surveys over the last year as well as executives and other employees I\u2019ve talked to are almost unanimous that the presence of everyone who was in an of?ce in March 2020 is no longer necessary or feasible.People who work have not been idle about acting on their newly- articulated preferences.A sizable number have moved farther away than a commute.Four out of ?ve told StatCan that they would like to work at least half of their hours from home once the pandemic is over.Corporate executives are now having to come up with ?exible schedules that will accommodate their own beliefs that face-to-face time is valuable for collaborating and mentoring and the preferences of their employees who want to work from home.This is a fascinating development.Bosses are having to think about what\u2019s good and inclusive and right for their employees as well as what\u2019s good for the business.They are having to dwell much more than they may have in the past on the fact that their employees are unique and valuable.Clearly, there are occupations where such ?exibility is much more dif?cult or even impossible \u2013 think teachers (they told StatCan they want to go back to school) and other service workers.These people have past grievances about their status on the \u201crespect\u201d scale of pay and working conditions \u2013 now they hold a crucial role in how the post-pandemic return to work will play out.Is the teachers\u2019 support service workers strike the canary in the coal mine?Lynda Gratton, professor of management practice at London Business School, says that \u201cgiven the astonishing speed with which companies have adopted the technology of virtual work, and the extent to which most employees don\u2019t want to revert to past ways of working, executives are seeing a once- in-a-lifetime opportunity to reset work using a hybrid model\u2014one that\u2026 will allow us to make our work lives more purposeful, productive, agile, and ?exible.\u201d As of right now, only one in seven people feel that they have a meaningful job.Liselotte Lyngsø, co- founder, Future Navigator believes that \u201cthe upcoming generations want to be a part of a meaningful journey.They will either want to ?nd ways to make large sums of money in a short period of time so they can be free to enjoy other aspects of life, or they will want to be a part of a movement that creates a better world\u2026 They will decide when, how and where to work.\u201d The mood is de?nitely brightening.Dian Cohen is an economist and a founding organizer of the

Way\u2019s Mills United Church proved to be a great success over the weekend.Gathered outdoors in the sunshine, spectators watched from above as the small colourful birds dodged the rocks and shoals of the Niger River to make their way from start to ?nish.\u201cWe are very happy\u201d said organizer Nicole Poitras, noting that between the initial sales of the ducks, donations received, and proceeds from the hot dog and plant sales that took place as a part of the event, the fundraiser managed to raise well over $2,000.According to Poitras, it was a duck purchased by Chanelle Coates that crossed the line in ?rst place netting her $500 that the winner was apparently going to use to help offset the recent purchase of an electric car.Poitras herself won the second-place prize of $300 and Serge Merineau and Anne Leydet came in third, netting $200.The organizer said that she isn\u2019t doing anything special with the money except paying off some of the expenses she incurred getting the event together, and also buying more ducks for next year.As for the third-place pair, Poitras pointed out that as they paid for 11 of the $20 ducks, they actually ended up in the same ?nancial situation as if they had bought one duck and not placed.Although a few of the ducks eventually had to be rescued due to the relatively low water level, almost all of them eventually made their way down to the ?nish line, which bodes well for the possibility of repeating the event.Duck race brings in more than $2,000 GORDON LAMBIE The 3rd place duck Sherbrooke resident completes double marathon for multiple sclerosis By Michael Boriero Fernand Courchesne completed another gruelling challenge on Sunday, running a double marathon to raise awareness, and donations, for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.The Sherbrooke resident, and health services auxiliary in Magog, started his double marathon at 6:15 a.m.and ?nished at roughly 9:15 p.m.He told The Record that it was about 10 hours of actual running and walking, but he tacked on an extra ?ve hours for rest and food.\u201cIt went well, the ?rst 45 km was relatively easy, but I did 84 km in total, which is the equivalent of a double marathon, and it was dif?cult, especially in my legs,\u201d he said.\u201cI slowed down a lot near the end, I started walking more than I was running, but I still completed my goal.\u201d Courchesne has been on a life changing journey over the past two years, shedding weight, getting active, and using his new-found love for running to raise money for various causes.Last year, he ran up and down Mont Orford for more than 30 hours.He was raising money to purchase an adapted wheelchair called a Kartus.Courchesne works with people who have limited mobility, and he wanted to give back in a way that would allow them to experience an outdoor activity.The Sunday double marathon took place on World Multiple Sclerosis Day.What made his event unique is he had six volunteers throughout the day sitting in a Kartus.He pushed each of them for an 11.5 kilometre loop around Lac des Nations.He completed eight loops in total.According to Courchesne, Sherbrooke MP Élisabeth Brière joined him for one full loop during the day.Geneviève Brisebois, a woman living with MS, also participated in the event.She ran alongside Courchesne for roughly 23 kilometres.It was her longest run since receiving her diagnosis, he said.Courchesne had a lot of time to prepare for the double marathon, but he needed to re?ect on his past achievement in Orford.Although he ?nished that challenge, Courchesne injured himself along the way.\u201cI prepared a lot this year and the difference was I had more experience with avoiding injuries,\u201d said Courchesne.\u201cI got injured in the past, but not this year, that\u2019s why I slowed down my pace the last 20 km, and especially the ?nal four kilometres.\u201d He plans to re-do his Orford challenge, which was also dubbed the Everest challenge, in September.However, he is still ironing out the details, as he plans to run and hike for more than 50 hours.This time around, though, his sole focus was for people battling MS.His goal was to raise $3,000 in the month leading up the double marathon.He has raised just over $2,300 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada to date.But people can still donate, he explained, they have until the end of June.Anyone who would like to donate to Fernand Courchesne\u2019s campaign and to the Multiple Sclerosis Society visit the MS walk website and ?nd Courchesne\u2019s fundraiser, listed

latest, and largely supericial, constitutional gambit By Andrew McDougall Assistant Professor, Politics, University of Toronto Québec Premier François Legault recently shocked the Canadian legal community when he unveiled his new proposed Bill 96 on protecting the French language in Québec.Among other proposals, Le- gault announced the province plans to move forward with a constitutional change to the Constitution Act of 1867, with two clauses: \u2022 Québecers form a nation.\u2022 French will be the only of?cial language of Québec.It is also the common language of the Québec nation.His basis for proposing these changes was to change Québec\u2019s own provincial constitution, which can be altered with the so-called \u201cunilateral\u201d amending formula in Sec.45 of the Constitution Act of 1982.The idea appears to have come from Patrick Taillion, a professor of constitutional and administrative law at Université Laval, who made the proposal earlier this year.To those familiar with the constitutional wars of the 1980s and 1990s, this cuts awfully close to the \u201cdistinct society clause.\u201d It was at the heart of the failed Meech Lake Accord, which didn\u2019t obtain the required unanimous provincial consent.Fears of another constitutional crisis now loom.Despite this, there is probably less to Legault\u2019s gamble than ?rst appears.Here are some answers to commonly asked questions about Legault\u2019s move: Can Québec act unilaterally?With the usual caveats that experts will always disagree and no one can predict what the courts will do, the answer is almost certainly no.As many commentators have already noted, these changes go beyond what the Constitution\u2019s unilateral amending formula allows Québec to do.The clauses don\u2019t pertain to the internal constitution of the Québec state, but would make a change to the constitutionally recognized nation of Canada and otherwise affect guarantees for of?cial languages.Making these changes would likely require, at a minimum, the use of the Constitution\u2019s 7/50 amending formula for the ?rst proposed clause, and the consent of Ottawa for the second.The bilateral amending formula, incidentally, was how New Brunswick entrenched its bilingualism in the early 1980s.And yet Québec\u2019s unilateral move has, after some silence, been accepted by the federal government and all of the federal parties as within Québec\u2019s jurisdiction.When the House of Commons faced a Bloc Québecois motion supporting Legault\u2019s move, only Independent MP Jody Wilson- Raybould objected.There appears to be no provincial opposition.So is that the end of the story?Again, no.Legault\u2019s proposal is likely to fail in the courts if the proper procedures are not followed.Nor could the argument be made that the rest of the country has already \u201cconsented\u201d via news conference.This kind of change to the written Constitution would require a legislative act.Notably, Ottawa has accepted a unilateral move by Québec to do this, but hasn\u2019t said it would consent to the change if consent is eventually required.But Legault is probably not trying to trigger a constitutional crisis.He\u2019s trying to avoid one.He\u2019s still the Québec premier.Being seen as tough when it comes to French language rights is central to his job.And don\u2019t forget he\u2019s up for re-election next year.His unilateral move has effectively let the rest of the country off the hook and avoided a major political collision.By merely asserting his right to do it, Legault has signalled he\u2019s not interested in involving anyone else in Canada.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\u2019s nod to his claim leaves this discussion for another day.For now, Legault can claim victory and move on to other topics that are bigger priorities.If Legault had really wanted to trigger a constitutional crisis, he would have asked for a constitutional conference with Ottawa and the rest of the country.There is no appetite for that.Keep in mind the context of Legault\u2019s proposals.They were announced in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.There was a curfew in Québec, and these proposals were made less than a week before Legault was due to announce the reopening of the province.The minds of the public are very much elsewhere.Then why do it at all?Legault is responsible for assuring Québecers about the linguistic security of French in Québec and standing up for his province.But it\u2019s easy to forget that Legault is also a former PQ minister who swore off ever holding another referendum.He\u2019s come a long way on federalism, but he needs to ?nd balance.This proposal has been characterized in Québec as Legault ?nding a middle ground between federalist and separatist voters.What\u2019s to lose?If Legault has read Québec voters correctly, he\u2019ll be a political hero.But if \u2014 or when \u2014 this dies in the courts, there will be no other politician or other level of government to blame.And that keeps a lid on constitutional politics.For better or worse, the rest of the country appears more than willing to play along with Legault\u2019s game.PRINTED AND

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday , June 1, 2021 Page 7 \u2018Beginner\u2019 mistakes that every angler should avoid For much of eastern Canada, May and June coincide with the ?rst inklings of summer, as well as the opening of ?shing seasons for well- known species like bass, pike, and walleye.Anglers who associate ?shing with more generic activities like boating and cottaging normally \u2018dust off\u2019 or purchase ?shing gear at this time, but they make some predictable mistakes when doing so.Avoiding these pitfalls will thoroughly improve your ?shing experience this summer.Around this time last year, many of us were emerging cautiously from our pandemic hideaways, hoping to recreate safely in an outdoor setting.Perhaps unsurprisingly, ?shing license sales and participation increased in many regions last spring and summer\u2014a trend which has been somewhat persistent.As an avid supporter of recreational ?shing, this excites me, but I also worry about the beginners who will inevitably be disheartened by learning pains and unsuccess.Having worked in a variety of ?shing and outdoor stores for more than a decade, I\u2019m aware of the ill-informed purchases and ?rst forays into ?shing that result from not receiving proper instruction.Hopefully, I can help some of you avoid these.\u2018Beginner\u2019 mistakes begin at the tackle shop.Actually, these mistakes occur most frequently at big box stores.If possible, avoid purchasing your ?rst rod and reel \u2018combo\u2019 from stores from stores that don\u2019t specialize in ?shing.The best starting place for a beginner is a small store where you\u2019re most likely to receive high-quality, tailored advice.This will be your ?rst and highest priority, and it is worth any minor inconvenience.When in doubt, simply direct your questions to the tackle shop employee! This saves time and money, while preserving your mental and physical health.Next, avoid purchasing beginner \u2018kits.\u2019 These are rarely and/or minimally functional, and contain gear that is all but useless.Instead, purchase a medium-light action spinning rod, and an open-face spinning reel.Ask the shop owners\u2014or, in their absence, a more experienced angler\u2014to recommend a reliable rod and reel that are at least one tier above the \u2018beginner kit.\u2019 Combos in this tier are signi?cantly more functional, and, in my experience, sell almost instantly on Kijiji after a 30 per cent discount is applied.Used beginner kits are more dif?cult to sell, and will cost you more time, storage space, and money if you decide that ?shing isn\u2019t your thing.It\u2019s also important to accept that your ?rst rod and reel won\u2019t \u2018work for everything.\u2019 This isn\u2019t the goal, and\u2014despite what you may think\u2014is neither realistic or important.Novice anglers are like novice golfers: the ?rst step is learning to swing a club, and this requires only a ?ve iron.A medium-light spinning rod and reel are the ?ve iron of freshwater ?shing tackle, and provide maximal function and ?exibility\u2014no pun intended.Next, purchase high-quality mono?lament ?shing line in 8-10 lb test, and, if possible, have the shop workers or a more experienced angler spool it for you.Watch closely, and take mental or written notes.Other equipment such as terminal tackle, lures, and bait are also best purchased with a shop worker or experienced angler\u2019s recommendation and blessing.Chances are, if a lure is ?rst marketed in an infomercial, it\u2019s a gimmick and a waste of money.Time- tested and proven tackle may not be eye-catching to a novice angler, but the opposite is true for ?sh.Find out what tackle is effective and relatively easy for a beginner to use, given your spectrum of potential target species.A lure or bait is only effective if the angler can utilize it effectively! As a general rule, bad tackle is made to catch customers, whereas good tackle is made to catch ?sh.To be continued\u2026 Part 1 of 2 Andrew Howarth On The Hook ANDREW HOWARTH Bass, pike, and other popular warm water species have a reputation for being relatively \u2018easy\u2019 to catch.This may be true, but only if you can avoid making a suite of \u2018rookie\u2019 mistakes.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 , June 1, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 40¢ per word.Minimum charge $10.00 ($11.50 taxes included) Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off With photo: additional $18.50.DEADLINE: 11 a.m., day before publication.BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY & GET-WELL WISHES, ENGAGEMENT NOTICES: Text only: $16.00 (includes taxes) With photo: $26.00 ($29.90 taxes included) DEADLINE: 3 days before publication.WEDDING WRITE-UPS: $26.00 ($29.90 taxes included) WITH PHOTO: $36.00 ($41.40 taxes included) Please Note: All of the aforementioned (except death notices) must be submitted typewritten or neatly printed, and must include the signature and daytime telephone number of the contact person.Can be e-mailed to: classad@sherbrookerecord.com -

and worldwide - vaccination campaigns.The last natural outbreak of smallpox in the United States occurred in 1949, and the disease was declared eradicated worldwide in 1980.No cases of polio have originated in the U.S.since 1979.However, the disease is still a threat in some countries, which is why the polio vaccine continues to be recommended.While it\u2019s theoretically possible to reach herd immunity through antibodies conferred when enough people have become sick and recovered from a disease, this takes a steep toll in terms of illness, suffering and lives lost.When it comes to reaching herd immunity to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, we face several complications.One is the fact that the contagiousness of a virus impacts the percentage of the population that must become resistant to it in order to stop its spread.It was originally hoped that immunity to the coronavirus by 60% to 70% of the population would be suf?cient.However, the continued emergence of highly contagious variants of the virus has raised that estimate to at least 80%, and perhaps higher.This makes both the pace and the scope of vaccination programs all the more important.Unfortunately, due to uneven vaccination availability worldwide - and persistent vaccine hesitancy - that goal isn\u2019t being met.Half of all adults in the U.S.have now received at least one dose of a vaccine, but those rates have begun to slip.Also, some people are skipping the second dose of the two-dose regimen.Rather than herd immunity, we\u2019re faced with the prospect of COVID-19 becoming a manageable illness.Thanks to the vaccinations that have taken place, as well as advances in treatment of active disease, we can expect future outbreaks of COVID-19 to be smaller and less deadly, according to of?cials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.And as vaccine development and vaccination campaigns continue, herd immunity sometime in the future remains a possibility.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.Send your questions to askthedoctors@mednet.ucla.edu, or write: Ask the Doctors, c/o UCLA Health Sciences Media Relations, 10880 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1450, Los Angeles, CA, 90024.Owing to the volume of mail, personal replies cannot be provided.Datebook TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 2021 Today is the 152nd day of 2021 and the 74th day of spring.TODAY\u2019S HISTORY: In 1792, Kentucky was admitted as the 15th U.S.state.In 1796, Tennessee was admitted as the 16th U.S.state.In 1980, the Cable News Network (CNN) began broadcasting.In 1990, President George H.W.Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev signed an accord to halt production of chemical weapons.In 2009, General Motors Co.?led for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS: Brigham Young (1801-1877), religious leader; Andy Grif?th (1926-2012), actor; Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962), actress; Pat Boone (1934- ), singer-songwriter; Morgan Freeman (1937- ), actor; Brian Cox (1946- ), actor; Jonathan Pryce (1947- ), actor; Ronnie Wood (1947- ), guitarist; Powers Boothe (1948-2017), actor; Heidi Klum (1973- ), model/TV personality; Alanis Morissette (1974- ), singer-songwriter; Amy Schumer (1981- ), actress/comedian; Justine Henin (1982- ), tennis player; Tom Holland (1996- ), actor.TODAY\u2019S FACT: The Beatles\u2019 \u201cSgt.Pepper\u2019s Lonely Hearts Club Band,\u201d released on this day in 1967, was the ?rst rock album to win a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.TODAY\u2019S SPORTS: In 1925, Lou Gehrig pinch-hit for the New York Yankees, marking the ?rst game in Gehrig\u2019s record-setting streak of 2,130 consecutive games played.TODAY\u2019S QUOTE: \u201cI wish people could achieve what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that that\u2019s not really what happiness is.\u201d -

If declarer ruffs low in the dummy, East overruffs, and later South loses a club trick to go down one.If he ruffs high, he will concede both a spade and a club trick.Instead, declarer must discard a club from the dummy - a loser-on-loser play.He wins the next trick (perhaps overruf?ng East if West perseveres with a fourth diamond), draws trumps and takes a safe club ruff in the dummy.Declarer\u2019s 10 tricks are ?ve spades, two hearts, two clubs and the club ruff.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday , June 1, 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 , June 1, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Go grocery sho pping with diet itians.When you choo se products with the Health Chec k symbol, it's like shopping with t he Heart and Str oke Foundation\u2019s die titians, who eval uate every partic ipating product b ased on Canada 's Food Guide.www.healthche ck.org REALITY CHECK HERMAN ALLEY OOP ARLO & JANIS THE BORN LOSER FRANK AND ERNEST GRIZZWELLS THATABABY 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 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday , June 1, 2021 Page 11 Call Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: classad@sherbrookerecord.com or Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 a.m.and noon CLASSIFIED Deadline: 12:30 p.m.one day prior to publication Or mail your prepaid classi?ed ads to The Record, 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 275 Antiques WE BUY from the past for the future, one item or a household, attic or basement, shed or garage.We like it all, give us a call.819- 837-2680.290 Articles for Sale Make your ClAssIiED stAnD out, add a photo for $10.per day.Deadline: 2 days before publication.Drop by our ofice in Sherbrooke or Knowlton.819-569- 9525.ClAssAD@ sHErBrookErECorD.com Unfriended by my husband Dear Annie TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 2021 Dear Annie: My husband and I met in high school and have been married for 23 years.Before we were married, we broke up several times and dated other people.He joined Facebook last year, at the end of August.He friended an old girlfriend from high school.I got mad, and he responded by blocking me.I have never felt the need to check his phone, but something didn\u2019t seem right, so I gave in.I checked his phone without his permission.I found out about a week after joining Facebook that he had sent a message to someone he used to work with before we were married, and he asked this person if he knew how to get ahold of an ex-girlfriend he had dated at one of those times when we had broken up.In the message, he told this person he wanted to see this ex-girlfriend and that he really missed her and has never forgotten her.I am devastated and not sure what to do.I want to confront him.All these years, I thought we had a good marriage.We have two beautiful teenage children.My heart is broken.I need your advice.- Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: Trust is a fundamental pillar in a marriage, and he has broken that.It is understandable that you are devastated.You and your husband desperately need marriage counseling, whether he admits it or not.If he refuses to go, then tell him what you know about his desire for his old girlfriend and ask him why he is so unhappy in your marriage.Ideally, you can confront him about his text messages with a counselor in the session so there will be a moderator in what is likely to be a heated exchange - with the goal being to get your marriage back on track.He has to stop bullying you by doing things like blocking you on Facebook.You are supposed to be on the same team.Dear Annie: I wrote this when my mother was alive, and I want to share it with you and your readers.Sad to say, she passed away in 2009.I still miss her.God took a dash of wisdom and patience, and to this, he added a loving heart.He took the stars from heaven and put a twinkle in your eyes.We call them mothers, but they are really ANGELS in disguise.I love you, Momma.- Sweet and Sassy Dear Sweet and Sassy: You and the great Abraham Lincoln had the same thought: \u201cAll that I am, or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.\u201d What a gift it is to have a loving and caring mother.We all recently celebrated Mother\u2019s Day, but I like the idea of celebrating our mothers every day.Dear Annie: I have a family situation that I am not sure how to handle.My middle daughter lives in another town, where she is attending graduate school.In three weeks, she will begin a summer internship in her hometown, where her mother and I live.I have not asked her where she plans to live for the summer, due to her busy exam and study schedule.We want her to stay with us - except for her dog, which she rescued from a shelter about three years ago.The dog and my daughter are very attached to each other, and in general, the relationship has been very good for both of them.The problem is that her dog is hyper and has had problems cohabitating with the two other dogs living in my house.We have had my daughter and her dog at our house several times before, and we also kept him once for a week when she was traveling.My wife and I cannot handle the stress of her dog and his destruction for the summer.We would like to offer our house to our daughter, knowing she will still be required to pay rent at her school apartment and likely cannot afford rent during the internship in another town.How do we approach her about her summer living arrangements before we get this sprung on us a few days in advance of her start date, knowing she probably does not have an option for the dog?- Not Quite the Empty Nesters Dear Not Quite the Empty Nesters: In order to avoid \u201cRovergate,\u201d you must act swiftly and directly.Speak with your daughter about possible dog trainers or videos and books that could help her train the dog to not have destructive behavior.Before your daughter moves in, go for walks or fun outings with your fur babies and hers.That way the dogs can hopefully establish a friendship outside the home, on neutral territory.Dear Annie: I am the mother of four adult children.I have many happy memories of all their childhoods, including birthdays, graduations and other milestones.I feel I have wonderful relationships with three of them (and their spouses).The fourth has been challenging, to say the least.He rarely visits and seems uncomfortable and angry around me.Everything I know about his life I ?nd out from his siblings.He has some substance abuse issues that he refuses to acknowledge - I think that\u2019s part of what is going on.It\u2019s certainly not where I imagined we would be at this stage of our lives.How do I proceed?He doesn\u2019t seem open to, or capable of, letting me in.Is there hope for a relationship when it\u2019s one- sided?Do I just ignore the behavior and hope he comes around?I love him dearly, but liking him is becoming more dif?cult.- Sad and Hopeless Dear Sad and Hopeless: Where there is love, there is hope.Your relationship with your son can certainly be saved.Since your three other children have a good relationship with him, ask them whether they can help him acknowledge his substance abuse issues.He must be treated for that, ?rst and foremost, because until then, you are not dealing with him but the substances altering his brain and personality.Ignoring his behavior won\u2019t do him any favors.It sounds like he is hurting, and when someone is hurting, there is nothing like a family member showing they care.Maybe your other children will be able to get through to him.Even if he continues to push you away, just come back to him with love.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

which has shown support for the store over many years.Last week, after the article in the Brome County News pro?led their services and book offerings, the store took to Facebook to say thanks, and also came up with a plan for English customers.For the next little while, a two-sided book cart, full of hard cover English language books, will offer books for as low as one dollar per book.Anyone who has not been to the store should make the trip to see all that is available.The store is not open on Sundays.Former Cowansville resident graduates from George Brown College with honours By Louise Smith Wendii Gwen Fulford, the daughter of Ingeborg and Jim Fulford, graduated last week from a Personal Support Worker Program at George Brown College in Toronto.The graduation ceremony was held over Zoom.Gwen had come home to help with her mom\u2019s care for two weeks.It was special that her mom was able to \u201cattend\u201d the convocation.Her mom had last seen Gwen at an award ceremony when she graduated from a Photography Certi?cate Program at Ryerson College.In these Covid times, personal support workers are in high demand in all Canadian provinces.Gwen\u2019s motivation for entering the program was both her mom and dad.They had a car accident in 2016 and Ingeborg still requires daily assistance in the mornings and evenings.Gwen wanted to understand the correct procedures to assist someone with her mom\u2019s needs and her goal is to take her skills into the community around her in the Toronto area.It also means that she can be part of her mom\u2019s support team when she comes home for visits.Gwen was very pleased with the program.It not only covered the basic procedures in support work but many other areas as well.The program included learning about organizing operations at institutions, nutrition information and dietary planning, the management of time and resources, and learning how to cooperate and work as a team member.Gwen worked hard in her yearlong program and excelled.The awards committee at the college met and decided to give Gwen the Extendicare Paramed PSW Award for outstanding commitment and achievement in the program and in her stage placement.She has a job in the Toronto starting in June.Gwen will continue to pursue more learning online.She has found a program on being a medical transcriptionist.It is being offered by Canscribe College in British Columbia.She sees it as a compliment to the knowledge acquired this past year at George Brown College.Ingeborg is happy to have Gwen home for these two weeks.She is proud of Gwen\u2019s achievement and was glad to have been able to be part of Gwen\u2019s graduation.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY

councillors want to inspect the building to see what could be done with it for municipal usage for it, but unfortunately the building is quite small and it couldn\u2019t serve our purposes,\u201d explained Jacques Drolet, Mayor of Bolton- Ouest.To make matters more complicated, Drolet explained that the St.Andrew\u2019s Church needed to be moved if the municipality were to take on the necessary renovations and repairs, but they don\u2019t own a piece of land that they can move it to.This is what really pushed the municipality to move forward with the idea of moving the building to the property of the BCHS.\u201cThe piece of land of where it is located cannot support the construction.There is no water, no sewage system, or electricity, and there is a marshland under the church.The ?oor itself will have to be totally replaced.\u201d The building has been in the area since 1914 and originally served as the schoolhouse of the early pioneers to Bolton-Ouest before it became home to the Anglican parish.It was eventually sold to private parties and was declared a heritage building by the town in 1994.The maintenance of the building was supposed to be undertaken by former parishioners.\u201cThe former parishioners of that church were initially supposed to maintain the building which has not been done for 15 years or so.It is not very good at present time and it needs major repairs.\u201d With time running out to save the building, the BCHS approached the municipality and offered to move the building to its property, where it would join the like of the famous Paul Knowlton Home and the former Knowlton courthouse, where it would restore the building.\u201cBy keeping the historical value of the building itself and moving it to the museum property in Knowlton, that will be the best way to preserve it for many years to come.\u201d Drolet emphasized that it was important to the municipality to ?nd a way to keep the building around for future generations.\u201cWe have to preserve the work of pioneers in this area.There are not many that are left so it\u2019s a good thing to recognize what had been done by them at that time and their efforts to put together that building.That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to preserve it as much as we could.\u201d The BCHS already has plans to use the building for its temporary exhibitions and Drolet thinks the group will help give the building a new lease on life.\u201cThe society itself has plans in order to make a temporary exhibition in there of the artifacts they have at the museum,\u201d said Drolet.\u201cThere are a lot of people that are going in front of the museum property so there is a much larger audience for that building itself but where it is now its almost impossible to see because there are so many trees that block the views.It\u2019s only people with bicycles that can see it, it will be a renewed interest in the building at the new location.\u201d While the responsibility and restoration of the building would be in the hands of BCHS, the municipality would be there for support if needed.\u201cThe municipality will certainly consider any demand from the society in this regard.\u201d Before the municipality moves forward with any plans, they have been consulting its citizens to ensure that they would support the initiative.\u201cWe are in favor of it but decided we would consult our people to see if they would be in agreement with us at the time.So far, they have all been in favor except for one and that\u2019s 80 people that con?rmed that.The consultation will end on June 4 and the answer from the village county will be rati?ed at the council meeting on June 7.\u201d For more information and to stay updated on the situation, visit

anniversary of the Town of Brome Lake By Taylor McClure Special to Brome County News Isabelle Daval, owner of Hors-Cadre, Annie Gosselin, owner of Ma Ani, and Michel Gamache of Art Lab, have joined forces to organize a community project in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Town of Brome Lake called 50 pieds carré de creation pour le 50ième anniversaire.The project involves getting the participation of citizens from the seven villages that make up Brome Lake, Knowlton, Bondville, Fulford, Foster, West Brome, East Hill, and Iron Hill, to create a piece of artwork that will be unveiled during the 50th anniversary celebrations.The group is now seeking the creative input of the local community.After reaching out to people in the community for ideas on how the 50th anniversary of Brome Lake could be celebrated, the town approached Daval asking her if she would be willing to organize the artistic project that she suggested.\u201cI was looking, looking, looking, and we have three galleries in Knowlton so I thought it would be good for the three of us to work together on the project.\u201d After ?nding her collaborators, Daval, Gosselin, and Gamache slowly started to organize the project.To get the project off the ground, 50 pieds carré de creation pour le 50ième anniversaire needs the participation of artists, or anyone wanting to participate, from the seven villages that make up Brome Lake.\u201cIt\u2019s not just Knowlton,\u201d emphasized Gosselin.\u201cIt\u2019s not just because our galleries are in Knowlton that we are going to exclude others.\u201d The project involves painting 576 4x4 squares that will come together to create a ?nal piece of artwork.\u201cThe three of us will manage the artists and they will have three pieces to paint, but if we don\u2019t have enough artists we will start to go through students at the schools,\u201d explained Gamache.The 4x4 squares will be made available for pick-up up at any of the three galleries and give the participating artists the freedom to paint whatever inspires them about the region.\u201cThe themes that touch Brome Lake can be exploited according to their inspiration and Jeremy from the museum will prepare a list of historical facts that can also be used if people don\u2019t have ideas or if they are missing information,\u201d said Daval.\u201cThe only thing we ask is that everyone use the same medium which is acrylic\u201d added Gosselin.\u201cWe don\u2019t want a mixture of oils, pastels - everyone does acrylic.It\u2019s not a very expensive medium and artists can use base colors like red, orange, and blue.\u201d Gosselin said that while artists can use whatever colors they want to paint their square, they will be designated a speci?c accent color to work with.\u201cWe know how many squares we need of what color for the ?nal unveiling.\u201d Once the 576 squares have been completed, Daval, Gosselin, and Gamache will put together the ?nal piece of artwork, which will measure eight feet by eight feet, to be unveiled as part of Brome Lake\u2019s 50th anniversary celebrations.\u201cIt will be magical,\u201d said Daval.Gosselin also hopes that by organizing the project, more artistic links will be developed within the community.\u201cIt will help create an artisitc community.Connections between artists already exist but we will be able to have a bank of artists in Brome Lake with their implication in the project.\u201d Artist or not, whoever participates in the project will leave a signi?cant mark in the community and they can always remember their contribution.\u201cThey will have the opportunity to be a part of history just by participating,\u201d said Daval.For more information on how to participate, artists can reach out to Daval at info@hors-cadre.ca or 450-242- 1908.Artists can also join the Artists of Brome Lake Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/artistsofbrome PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604

better but they can make it at home.\u201d By opening up Mission, Cote also hopes that more people will be interested in being coached.\u201cBy coaching I mean that I am guiding them on what to do, what to eat, what do drink, and how their meal plan should go depending on what their goal is.I guide them with what is best for them and if they are interested in exercising then we do have challenges that we do and it\u2019s motivating and keeps them interested.\u201d Through her coaching, Cote has seen the difference the products can make in the life of her clientele.\u201cIt makes you feel good.It\u2019s a healthy lifestyle, it\u2019s not a diet.It\u2019s not something that you\u2019re going to do for a month and stop.You change a little bit of everything and it makes a big difference in your life.The women I\u2019ve been coaching started feeling better about themselves and it\u2019s nice to see them feel good in their skin and it\u2019s very inspiring.\u201d Cote organized two VIP tastings over the last two weekends and business was non-stop.Before she even organized these tastings, there was a lot of hype on Mission\u2019s social media pages and the community was excited for the business to open its doors.\u201cI was really surprised, I wasn\u2019t sure how people would react.\u201d Mission Knowlton Bar Santé of?cially opened its doors on May 31.On a

the Knowlton Literary Festival The Knowlton Literary Association recently recorded a presentation given by guest author Donna Morrissey, on April 23, about her upcoming book.If you missed the live presentation, or you would like to see it again, you can now watch the recording at your leisure.The presentation is on YouTube.Pluck: A Memoir of a Newfoundland Childhood and the Raucous, Terrible, Amazing Journey to Becoming a Novelist, is scheduled to be released this fall.It is a deeply personal re?ection of a woman who left her isolated Newfoundland community at age 16, eager to explore the world.Her path was dif?cult, from the death of a teenaged brother who followed her to Alberta\u2019s oil?elds, to mental illness, marriage, divorce and working in a ?sh processing plant to support her two young daughters.Ultimately Morrissey landed on her feet as one of Canada\u2019s most prominent writers, having penned six national bestselling novels.Many of Morrissey\u2019s stories are drawn from her own varied life experiences, combining darkness and light, levity and sadness into her tale, as the indomitable spirit and humour that sustains her.An inspiring and insightful memoir, Pluck illustrates that even when you ?nd yourself unravelling, you can ?nd a way to spin the yarns that will save you- -and delight readers everywhere.The live presentation was sponsored by the Writers\u2019 Union of Canada.To view the presentation, click on the link: https://youtu.be/ CQy2gzOCIEI The Knowlton Literary Festival wants to host this year\u2019s literary event in a safe,

D\u2019Ici du Lac-Brome, the local farmers\u2019 market, will celebrate its opening weekend on June 5.Organized by les Marchés D\u2019Ici for a third year, the non-pro?t organization supporting local agricultural production and a good standard of living for farmers, is celebrating 20 years this year.The market will once again be held in the parking lot of Theatre Lac-Brome.The market plays an important role in the community and organizers are hoping for a successful year with some new additions.\u201cOften farmers\u2019 markets are young, they have three or four years of life, but Lac-Brome is about 10 or 12 years old and since the very ?rst day it started, people went to that market,\u201d said Diane Seguin, founder of les Marché D\u2019Ici and the head of its board of directors.\u201cIt\u2019s a really good market for producers because it\u2019s important for them to have direct contact with their clients to explain what they do.When you\u2019re a client and you speak to the producer you can understand all the work there is to produce a carrot, a steak, a meal.\u201d Seguin emphasized that it\u2019s important for the community to know the people behind the product.\u201cThey will be there each week and if you are not satis?ed or have a question they are there to answer.You have a guarantee and more security about who produces the product.There is traceability; who made the product, who they are, and where they are.That is a guarantee and that is important for me.The campaign in Quebec to buy from local producers is all about that.\u201d The market is also an important space to educate the community about local agricultural production.\u201cFarmers\u2019 markets are so important because people understand why they cannot have tomatoes the ?rst week of June.That\u2019s not the way the ground works, it\u2019s not the way they grow.We educate people at the same time and they understand why agriculture is important.It\u2019s a place where people exchange with one another and understand that there is work behind the product and that there is a person and an enterprise too behind the product.It\u2019s important to the survival of a region to have a good farmers\u2019 market.\u201d Marché D\u2019Ici du Lac-Brome will once again be located in the spacious parking love of Theatre Lac-Brome after moving there last year due to Covid restrictions.\u201cThe producers were too close to one another at our other location and clients couldn\u2019t respect the two meters distance, so we moved to the parking lot of the theatre.It\u2019s fun because the real place for a market to be is in the heart of the village.\u201d One of the characteristics that makes the market in Brome Lake special is that it\u2019s had the same producers since Day one, who are either from Knowlton or its surrounding villages, but like Seguin mentioned, the market needs new things too.\u201cWe have something very special this year.It\u2019s called Passion Recolte, brought to the town by a young girl who went to Vietnam for three or four months and realized that youngsters over there and families worked in ?elds and picked cashews.She saw how they were treated and she wanted to help them.She structured their enterprise and she goes and lives there three to six months a year and comes back with cashew nuts.She also brings back pepper; top quality pepper.\u201d Club Mijoté, a new enterprise that makes ready-to-go meals and provides vegan and vegetarian options, will also make its way to the market starting on July 3 and Paradis des fruits Duham, a fall fruits producer, will participate in the market near the end of August.Despite the Covid restrictions, Marché D\u2019Ici du Lac-Brome had a successful year last year and Seguin hopes that will continue in 2021.\u201cIt\u2019s a gift during the summer to have the farmers\u2019 market and we really think it\u2019s important.\u201d She added that she wants to see the market play a role in the experiences of visitors to Brome Lake.\u201cI\u2019m trying to tell people that it\u2019s a double experience.Come to the market but after go to for a picnic, go in the village to buy from the boutiques and stores.Our campaign is to live experiences and Lac-Brome is a gift because it\u2019s so nice and there are lots of things to do.\u201d Marché D\u2019Ici du Lac-Brome starts on June 5 and runs for 19 weeks until Oct.9.It will be located at 9 Chemin du Mont-Écho, Knowlton.MARCHÉ D\u2019ICI DU LAC-BROME MARCHÉ D\u2019ICI DU LAC-BROME Terrasse season is upon us! By Louise Smith It does not matter if it has been cool the past few days.Now that outdoor seating is allowed people are willing to brave the colder temperatures just to be able to have the opportunity to sit outside once more.The provincial Covid caseload on Sunday for the province was just over 300.That\u2019s great news.Ice cream places and restaurants all have the go ahead for terrasses, but bars are not included yet.We are so used to saying terrasse that it has replaced terrace.It is similar to how going to the local \u201cdep \u201cor depanneur has become part of the English vocabulary in Quebec.It\u2019s quite something when you visit in Ontario and say that you are going to go to the \u201cdep\u201d.People wonder what we mean.Local businesses in the region are supporting each other as best as possible.Valentine Restaurant on Rue Riviere in Cowansville is using the next-door pool hall terrasse until the bar can reopen.Warmer weather this week will mean that the outdoor spaces will seat as many people as is permitted.LOUISE SMITH PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL

Strategic Fund o?ered jointly by the O?cial Language Minority Community Media Consortium and the Government of Canada Mrs.Lily Butters, having been trained as a nursing professional, emigrated from England with her family shortly after the First World War.The war had left her country & their farm in a desolate condition.They were bene?ciaries of the Colonial Settlement Act which netted her family 200 acres along Lake Memphremagog, a horse and an ox.Unfortunately, the land was on the wrong (non-lakeside) of the road and essentially a huge rock inappropriate for farming crops.The family survived through the depression on farm animals, vegetable gardens & Mrs.Butters\u2019 work as a maid in hotels along the lake.At the outbreak of World War II, most of the family, including Mrs.Butters, enlisted.Enlistment opened up a new life for her and her children.After the war, Mrs.Butters did not want to go back to life as it was before the war, so she started a business: taking in intellectually handicapped babies, mostly from Montreal.She soon saw there was a huge market for this service, but she needed more space, so she added new sections onto her original farmhouse.As her service grew, so did her house.By 1955, she was forced to incorporate.Expansion continued relentlessly.Mrs.Butters accepted all children that came to her door, regardless of ability to pay, and for whom many had no other option.By 1968, her original farmhouse now had over 325 occupants and experienced a complete overall, (see contrasting photos).Other buildings began to dot the 35-acre institutional property.By 1972, the Quebec Government had nationalized the institution.Mrs.Butters was retired and reluctantly moved to a beautiful home built expressly for her on the grounds of the hospital.Mrs.Butters started her postwar business at 48 and was retired at 72.In 1982, her former workforce was faced with a dif?cult problem.The Government was worried that their non-ambulatory residents would be severely compromised if the building and the establishment was allowed to remain open, due to serious structural issues, i.e.what to do in the event of a ?re.After consulting the union, it was decided to offer unionized workers the voluntary right to go home, with full bene?ts, with two clients of their choice, for the winter.Shortly thereafter, 32 residents left, and the 3rd ?oor was emptied.The government soon after acquiesced and issued a permit for 250 residents.Those multi- handicapped clients who wintered in the community never returned to that building.Mrs.Butters\u2019 army responded to the problem with imagination.Lily Butters ran that institution as a military operation, but one with heart.She was tough but generous.She wanted, albeit demanded, that her employees care for their clients, sometimes with less than enough resources.She hired people from her community; and gave them a vocation.If not for her, these people would have had to work the rocky ?elds of Austin or the ?oors of Dominion Textile in Magog.By 1972, the Cecil Butters Memorial Hospital was the largest employer in Brome County with over 100 stable government jobs.In 1972, Lily Butters was awarded the Order of Canada for her work with disabled children.Mrs.Butters lifted families in the area out of poverty, opened up new opportunities for their children and gave a hand to families that had no option but to give up their child, most of the time at the advice of their family doctor.In 1976, friends and family created the Butters Foundation as a lasting legacy to her important and valued work in the community.The foundation continues, to this day, to support families who have chosen to raise their handicapped child at home, and to support the provision of housing for those who had to leave it.Lily Butters: A model for today CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 11 COURTESY In 1972, Lily Butters was awarded the Order of Canada for her work with disabled

Much has been argued regarding whether to shoot digital images in RAW or JPEG ?les.There are literally dozens of forums on the internet where this subject is debated and even argued over.At the end of the day, the decision comes down to what you plan on doing with the photographs you take.Personally, I have shot in both modes, depending on the type of picture I\u2019m taking.For example, I recently took a picture of a chestnut tree on our property to send to a friend.As this was just to show this person the tree (no post processing in Lightroom), I sent a JPEG ?le.As a wildlife photographer, knowing I\u2019ll be processing and even selling my pics, I always go RAW for the best image quality.The advantages of RAW, shooting parameters such as white balance, sharpening and tone can be adjusted in your selected program.I have always used Lightroom, as I believe it to be much more advanced than the other choices out there today.I can dress up my picture without losing any of the original quality.Color conversion is managed resulting in a more ?nished, quality photo.You basically achieve results you couldn\u2019t possibly get with a JPEG ?le.Another bonus is you can create a JPEG ?le from a RAW ?le, but you cannot do the opposite.You can compress a large ?le to make it smaller, but once the JPEG algorithms have discarded their data, that particular information is lost forever.JPEG images have their advantages as well.For example, they are smaller in byte size so they take up much less room on your memory card.If you have a memory card with not much storage, this could become a huge problem.I remember when I bought my ?rst camera, the card I bought had very little storage.I was in the ?eld shooting snowy owls when I ran out of room on my card.Panicking, I had to go back through the view?nder and erase what I deemed to be inferior shots.Not a problem today as the memory card I use now can hold thousands of pics.Of course, like everything else this came at a cost! Another advantage is because JPEG ?les are smaller in size, they are much easier to send over the internet.Much faster than doing with RAW images.The good news is today, many cameras allow you to save a picture in both the JPEG and RAW format at the same time.Yes, you will have a much larger ?le size, but you\u2019ll have one image you can instantly send over the internet, and another high- quality image you can blow up using your Lightroom or Photoshop program (there are many more) should you decide to frame and sell your image.You may have heard of TIFF ?les as well.TIFF ?les are processed in-camera and are large in ?le size, even bigger than a RAW ?le.It is the standard ?le type used in publishing, but there is little or no reason to shoot in TIFF as you can accomplish more with a RAW ?le.A RAW ?le can be saved as a TIFF after processing and provides much greater ?exibility with what you choose to do with it.Finally, I was messaged last week asking where one can ?nd osprey to shoot.The answer is I\u2019ve seen them everywhere, from Lac Brome, to the Missisquoi river in Bolton all the way to Lac Memphremagog.An osprey is our only raptor that plunges into the water as it feeds primarily on ?sh.The ?rst time I saw one was at the northern end of Fitch Bay one August morning.It was circling about eighty feet above the shallow end of the lake and suddenly folded its wings and plunged talons ?rst into the bay.It disappeared for a few seconds, then came to the surface.It appeared to struggle to get its wings ?apping, but a few seconds later left the surface with what appeared to be a bass in its razor-sharp talons.Quite the thing to witness.You\u2019ll ?nd these birds either hovering above a body of water, or sitting on a branch of a tree along the shoreline searching for its next meal.You should be able to get fairly close without entering its circle of fear, just remember to bring either your 300 or 400 telephoto lens.File types Darren Murphy Behind The Lens DARREN MURPHY 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 Prop.Darren Paige & Carolyn Lemaire For all your automotive and tire needs 450.243.0763 554 ch.Knowlton \u2022 Knowlton, QC J0E 1V0 info@garagedcs.com TIRES (NEW AND USED) \u2022 TIRE STORAGE GENERAL MECHANICS ALIGNMENTS SUSPENSION BRAKE SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONING ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS For all your advertising needs, call Jesse Bryant Sales Manager 450-242-1188 jbryant@sherbrookerecord.com Make it Happen!

it adds both body and ?avor to the dish.Every bit of this hearty braise is infused with allium pungency thanks to four whole bunches of scallions.That may seem like a lot, but they give the braise ?avor and a vibrant color.Just remember to keep the green parts separate from the white parts; they\u2019re added at different times.Serve with rice, roasted potatoes or warmed ?atbread.CARDAMOM-LIME CHICKEN AND WHITE BEANS Start to ?nish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunks Kosher salt and ground black pepper 3 tablespoons salted butter 4 bunches scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts reserved separately 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 tablespoon garam masala 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom 1 teaspoon ground turmeric Two 151/2-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained, liquid reserved 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth 2 teaspoons grated lime zest, plus 1/4 cup lime juice Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.In a large pot over medium- high, melt the butter.Add the chicken and scallion whites, then cook, stirring once or twice, until both the chicken and scallions begin to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.Add the tomato paste, garam masala, cardamom, turmeric, 11/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds.Add the bean liquid, broth, and lime zest and juice, then bring to a boil.Reduce to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer, until the chicken is opaque when cut into, 5 to 7 minutes.Stir in the scallion greens and the beans, then cook until the beans are heated through, another 2 minutes.Taste and season with salt and pepper.(The Associated Press) Spice cabinet shortcut speeds up this Kurdish braise By America\u2019S Test Kitchen This quiche\u2019s velvety custard makes it perfect for an elegant affair or a laid- back brunch.Store-bought pie dough, partially baked and still warm, can be used in place of the homemade crust.LEEK AND GOAT CHEESE QUICHE Servings: 6-8 Start to ?nish: 3 hours 30 minutes (plus 2 hours, 45 minutes chilling and cooling time) Crust: 3 tablespoons ice water, plus extra as needed 4 teaspoons sour cream 1 1/4 cups (6 1/4 ounces) all- purpose ?our 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4 inch pieces and frozen for 10 to 15 minutes Filling: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 pound leeks, white and green parts only, chopped ?ne 3/4 teaspoon salt 5 large eggs 2 cups half-and-half 1/4 teaspoon pepper 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (1 cup) 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives For the crust: Whisk ice water and sour cream together in bowl.Process ?our, sugar, and salt in food processor until combined, about 3 seconds.Scatter frozen butter over top and pulse mixture until butter is size of large peas, about 10 pulses.Pour half of sour cream mixture over ?our mixture and pulse until incorporated, about 3 pulses.Repeat with remaining sour cream mixture.Pinch dough with your ?ngers;
