MICHAEL BORIERO By Michael Boriero Champlain College Lennoxville students walked out of the campus\u2019s main building on Friday morning to thunderous applause and cheers in celebration of a dif?cult year marred by the COVID-19 pandemic.The nursing students were the ?rst group to make their way through the school and into a foray of parents, family, and friends.Cheryl Kidd was emotional when she spoke to The Record about her daughter\u2019s graduation ceremony and what it means to her.\u201cMy daughter impresses me every day; her bravery and courage to do all of this online.She is very tough.She took it very well, doing all of her schooling online,\u201d said Kidd.Kidd, holding back tears, was beaming with pride.Her daughter, who graduated with top marks in her class and landed a scholarship, also worked throughout the year, adding to the pressure of completing school assignments and studying for exams.\u201cShe succeeded with 90 and plus in all of her marks and she even got a scholarship to go to Bishop\u2019s next year because of all of her grades,\u201d she said.Sylvain Letourneau stood alone among the crowd, watching the ceremony via Facebook live, which CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 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 2 Monday, June 14, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Ben by Daniel Shelton The Record e-edition There for you 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week.Wherever you are.Access the full edition of the Sherbrooke Record as well as special editions and 30 days of archives.Renew or order a new 12-month print subscription and get a 12-month online subscription for free or purchase the online edition only for $125.00 Record subscription rates (includes Quebec taxes) For print subscription rates, please call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com 12 month web only: $125.00 1 month web only: $11.25 Web subscribers have access to the daily Record as well as archives and special editions.Subscribing is as easy as 1,2,3: 1.Visit the Record website: www.sherbrookerecord.com 2.Click e-edition.3.Complete the form and wait for an email activating your online subscription.Weather TODAY: 60 PER CENT OF SHOWERS HIGH OF 22 LOW OF 14 TUESDAY: SHOWERS HIGH OF 20 LOW OF 12 WEDNESDAY: RAIN HIGH OF 16 LOW OF 8 THURSDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF 22 LOW OF 8 FRIDAY: CLOUDY PERIODS HIGH OF 25 LOW OF 12 Mable Hastings The Scoop On Thursday, June 10 Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) Coordinator of senior services, Monique Gilbert and long time CABMN senior services worker, Angelle Laplume organized a special celebration for volunteers who made calls to check-in on seniors living in the MRC Memphremagog Ouest (Potton, Bolton-Est, Saint-Etienne-de Bolton, Stukely and Eastman), throughout the Covid pandemic.The CAB\u2019s Project VIGILE, a pilot project that screens, informs, liaises, and intervenes on behalf of seniors aged 70 and over, living in the territory served by the CABMN was already implemented and had just begun when it was affected by COVID-19.For this reason, the SAPA staff team recruited a group of extraordinary volunteer callers who knew how to make a difference and was able to make individual interventions in supporting seniors.The celebration on June 10 was held at the Multi-functional shelter in Potton\u2019s Parc Andre Gagnon and included a lunch prepared by the Depanneur Bonisoir staff and included fresh sandwiches, salad, veggies and more.While not all of the volunteers could be present the group of twelve that gathered were a joyous bunch with wonderful experiences and feedback to share regarding making the calls to so many of the areas precious population.Regarding the calls, it was shared that while some whose age de?ned them as \u201cseniors,\u201d were surprised to get a call, the majority appreciated being checked on during a time where no one was sure what the next month, week or even day might bring.There were heartfelt stories shared but the greatest joy seemed to come from connecting with so many new friends and hearing a bit about their ways of beating the Covid blues.For Gilbert and Laplume the pride and gratitude they felt for the contribution this group of volunteers had provided was immense and so appreciated.Gilbert had prepared a fun trivia game with facts about the calls which during some weeks totalled close to 1000 phone calls! Even the group who had made them all happen, working at different times and on various days were surprised to hear how many calls and how many people they had connected with.Prizes were awarded to each volunteer at random.These prizes were donated by businesses and individuals including: FamiliPrix Pharmacy in Mansonville, Brome Bird Care in Knowlton, Owls Head Golf as well as Sylvie Boisvert and Claude Bedard.The prizes were a wonderful touch and created some fun excitement for those gathered.In its Annual General Meeting report of activities, the CABMN Senior Services boasts the following accomplishments for the past year: - 202 Individual interventions - 241 Services provided - 24 Workshops, trainings, and conferences (1241 participations) - 9046 COVID-19 calls (400 volunteer hours) - 110 Buddy Calls (55 volunteer hours) - 269 VIGILE Heat wave emergency calls - 45 Newsletters - 586 participations in Heart & Energy group, and Walking Club.For more information

afternoon to share their concerns and raise awareness about a proposed project to expand the capacity of the Trans Québec & Maritimes Pipeline (TQM).The protestors called for local governments to hold off on support for the project, which would allow Alberta-based Pieridae Energy to transport lique?ed natural gas to the Goldboro natural gas terminal project in Nova Scotia.Pipeline protest in Sherbrooke GORDON LAMBIE The number of deaths in the region remained stable at 350, and the number of people in hospital for reasons linked to the virus fell to 15, one of whom was in intensive care.So far, a cumulative total of 6,711,682 doses of vaccine have been received by Quebecers, 382,546 of whom are in the Eastern Townships.Total ?rst dose coverage in the province now sits at 68.6 per cent.The province is still waiting on more Moderna doses to begin the process of moving up the second dose schedule for that vaccine, but this week people 35 to 59 who received a P?zer shot for their ?rst does will be able to move up their appointment if desired.This process begins on Monday with those 55 and older, and proceeds by ?ve year intervals each day.The public health authority is strongly recommending the use of the Clic santé website to move up appointments, but assistance is also available if needed at the vaccination clinics in Magog, Sherbrooke, Val-des-Sources (formerly Asbestos), Cowansville, and Granby over the course of the day on Monday.The CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie \u2013 CHUS is also working on advanced second-dose appointments for those who received the AstraZeneca vaccine, with new dates and locations to be announced as they become available.By Gordon Lambie For three decades, Lennoxville\u2019s home-grown holiday, Friendship Day, was one of the signs of the start of summer in the community.From the morning parade to the evening ?reworks, the festival was a celebration of everything that makes the town-turned-borough a friendly place to live and work.Asked about what is happening behind the scenes as Friendship Day settles into its second year of Covid- based hiatus, planning committee chair Ryan Smith shared that no one need be concerned that the local celebration is gone forever.\u201cWe are all looking forward to being back to easier times,\u201d Smith said, stressing that it was not easy to cancel the 2020 or 2021 events, even if it was the only choice that made sense under the pandemic circumstances.\u201cThe time \u201caway\u201d has also given us the opportunity to readjust and establish new goals and best practices moving forward with hopes of simplifying the entire process.A few key members stepped down following the 2019 event and this has given new and returning members the opportunity to move into new roles.\u201d The committee chair hinted at \u201cnew and exciting programs\u201d in the works for the next edition, and added that there is always room for more volunteers.\u201cWe are a very small group and are always looking for ideas and help,\u201d he shared.\u201cWe plan on using our social channels more often come the end of the summer to attract more volunteers, seek feedback and suggestions moving forward - this is an event for locals, put on by locals.\u201d Friendship Day committee looking forward to a future return RECORD ARCHIVES PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604

undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA RECORD THE Well, the folks managing the CN Tower in Toronto sure lit up irate Maple Leafs fans when they decided last week to light the spire in the red, white and blue of the Montreal Canadiens.(The Leafs, of course, conveniently lost to the Canadiens in the irst round, like pouty drama queens, competing for a fake pandemic Cup evidently being beneath them.) A tower oficial explained the move, saying the obelisk\u2019s lighting is used to promote awareness of \u201cregistered charities and causes.\u201d Presumably, in the case of the Canadiens, not being a charity, the cause for the tricoloured lashing was to cheer on a \u201cCanadian team in international sporting competitions.\u201d In other words, the last team based in a Canadian city still skating in the cross-border quest for Lord Stanley\u2019s silverware.As a monument belonging to the government of all Canadians, one supposes there is a certain mandate for the tower managers to use the iconic structure to root for the home side in the interests of national unity and patriotic spirit.Toronto Mayor John Tory, suggested, we assume jokingly, \u201cthere should be a full and complete investigation\u201d into Habs-Tower-gate.\u201cClearly somebody over there is a Habs fan and they had some kind of bet.\u201d We assume Tory was not himself wearing a Habs jersey when he made said declaration, having lost the Leafs-Habs series bet with Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante.Meanwhile, the appropriation of hockey partisanship by municipal oficials took a new twist in Quebec City when a serious candidate for mayor showed up at a news conference sporting a Canadiens sweater with Carey Price\u2019s number 31.Jean Rousseau, leader of Démocratie Quebec, explained the gesture as symbolizing how his party, like the Habs, is underestimated, yet they made it to the \u201cfour aces\u201d of the NHL play-off semi-inals.Though surely Rousseau\u2019s ambitions run beyond the semi- inals of municipal politics, it is a fact that, with longtime champion Régis Labeaume surrendering his chain of ofice come November, the ield is wide open for a less brash underdog candidate.Rousseau\u2019s bold embrace of les glorieux of Montreal, perhaps also signals something other than the triumph of the unlikely competitor.Is he suggesting it is now time to put to rest forever the hope of Quebec City getting an NHL franchise?With the expansion fee the Seattle Kraken just paid off a hard $790 million CDN, it\u2019s unlikely Vidéotron Centre operator Quebecor would pony up that kind of cash even if the league was ready to consider locating a 33nd franchise in la vieille capitale.At the other extreme of politicizing hockey, there\u2019s Luc Ferrandez, the former Projet Montréal councillor and mayor of the Montreal Plateau borough and now talk radio host.He tweeted, once it was conirmed the Canadiens would face the Vegas Golden Knights in the semi-inal: \u201cI sincerely hope for a loss for the Canadiens.I hope it hurts and that we tell ourselves forever that we could have won with more Quebec players.PS: I admit that I am less interested in hockey than in the attachment of Montrealers to their team throughout history.\u201d Ferrandez is right about the Quebecois count.The Canadiens only have one homie on the roster for the play-offs at the moment - journeyman centre Phil Danault.The Knights, by contrast, have four francos in the lineup, hailing from four corners of the province: Jonathan Marchessault (Cap Rouge), Marc-André Fleury (Sorel), Nicolas Roy (Amos) and William Carrier (LaSalle).Among the lood of reactions to Ferrandez\u2019s tweet was this snarky comment: \u201cWhat do you want, more Quebecers or a Cup?\u201d Another added, helpfully, \u201cIt\u2019s hockey, not politics!\u201d Another raised a prickly dilemma of partisanship: Which team will Céline Dion be rooting for?She, the longtime resident of Sin City, who famously donned a Golden Knights jersey during the 2018 play-off run when Vegas made it to the inal.She, who was also just as famously pictured in a Canadiens sweater embracing Habs deity Maurice \u201cRocket\u201d Richard.Whether or not Canadians in droves hop aboard the Canadiens\u2019 Zamboni-pulled bandwagon, you can probably lay a bet with a bookie in Las Vegas that die-hard Habs fans resent just a little bit such unabashed appropriation of their loyalty.When is it appropriate to appropriate hockey partisanship?Peter Black First thing I do in the morning is read the Record!

2021 a press conference was held at the Municipality of Potton\u2019s ecocentre in Mansonville to announce an exciting new initiative in the township.NexKemia Petrochemicals Inc.announced its pride in partnering with the Municipality of the Township of Potton as well as Eco- Captation, to make the recycling of expanded and extruded polystyrene (polystyrene foams) possible for the residents of the Municipality of the Township of Potton.NexKemia, as a leading producer of expandable polystyrene (EPS) in North America, is keen to help facilitate the recovery of this material, as it is 100% recyclable.\u201cThis is the ?rst of several announcements to be made in the coming months regarding NexKemia\u2019s involvement in the circular economy.These many actions will have a signi?cant and positive impact on our future operations,\u201d says NexKemia General Manager, Pierre Beaudry.Citizens can now bring their expanded and extruded polystyrene directly to Potton\u2019s ecocentre, operated by the municipality.The facilities, provided by NexKemia, are used to accumulate EPS foam before it is sent to Eco-Captation.Eco-Captation then pre-conditions the recycled EPS material and distributes it to companies using PS in their operations.This whole process ensures that EPS products are recycled, closing the loop.\u201cThis is a ?rst step in the right direction.The current polystyrene recycling model must be as close as possible to citizens so that it is easy for everyone to recover it.We thank the Municipality, as well as Eco-Captation for their help\u201d says Nexkemia\u2019s Business Manager, Stéphane Trépanier.Eco-Captation is a proud partner of this initiative.This company currently processes more than 300 tons of polystyrene annually, coming from several municipalities and ecocentres in Quebec and it plans to increase its recycling capacities signi?cantly in the years to come.Most recently, the latter has acquired cutting-edge technology using arti?cial intelligence in order to be able to increase their production capacity.By Michael Boriero After spending the past year interacting online due to the pandemic, Lennoxville and District Community Aid\u2019s seniors men\u2019s group met in the ?esh, and not behind a computer screen, at Centennial Park on Friday.\u201cThey have been meeting by Zoom for part of the past year, but not everybody was able to join in, so now they are all meeting together,\u201d said Sylvie Fowlis, director general at Community Aid, an organization that works with elderly folks in the area.The men\u2019s group gathered under the park\u2019s gazebo, sitting at a distance in foldable camping chairs, wearing masks and cracking jokes.They were accompanied by a Community Aid volunteer, who listened to their concerns and needs for the summer.It was a dif?cult process connecting the group online, according to Fowlis.They had a volunteer attend the Zoom meetings to help guide the men through the modern day communications platform.But not everyone was able to make it online.\u201cIt was a minority, maybe a third of the people that felt comfortable and got used to meeting, or had the equipment, or were connected to the internet, you know, it was all these various types of things that were happening and prevented them,\u201d said Fowlis.There were eight men at the park Friday, but the director general told The Record that the number can vary, it depends who wants to come out.And they are all in their 70s and 80s, she said.The OPALS group, which is mainly women, will meet a third time on Thursday.While the men\u2019s group is mainly catching up, discussing current events, and things they would like to see from Community Aid, the women\u2019s group holds social exchanges and exercise classes from time to time, Fowlis continued.Although they all need to continue respecting Quebec\u2019s health and safety measures, Fowlis said this is an important outlet for seniors in Lennoxville.They have struggled, like so many in the province, to ?nd freedom and stimulation.\u201cThey were struggling, and I\u2019m not saying necessarily the people that are there, but in general, a lot of people what they expressed was that they were struggling with the fact that they couldn\u2019t meet with people, keep in touch with people as much as they were used to doing,\u201d Fowlis said.However, she has noticed that while it has been rough for them, many seniors are taking the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously.They are extra cautious, she said, with several members refusing to meet in person until they receive their second dose of vaccine.\u201cThey have gone through a hard time, let\u2019s not forget that.We\u2019ve found it hard, but they have also found it very dif?cult, but they have been very good at it, too,\u201d said Fowlis.Community Aid seniors men\u2019s group meets for ?rst time in over a year The recycling of expanded and extruded polystyrene in Potton

DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES ASK THE DOCTORS by Eve Glazier, M.D., and Elizabeth Ko, M.D.Dear Doctor: Can you explain that study that says having too much sugar in your diet is going to make your body produce more fat?I always thought that the reason you gained weight was that you were eating too many calories.Dear Reader: We believe you\u2019re referring to a study published in the Journal of Hepatology in March.(Hepatology is the study of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas.) Because it focused on the ever-fascinating topic of the health effects of added sugar in the diet, the results received a fair bit of media attention.You mentioned calories and weight gain, but that wasn\u2019t the speci?c focus of this study.Rather, researchers in Zurich wanted to learn how sugar consumption affects the accumulation of fat in the liver.This may sound obscure, but due to a potentially serious condition known as fatty liver disease, it\u2019s an important area of inquiry.A healthy liver contains fat in small amounts.When fat begins to build up, though, it can cause inlammation.This, in turn, can lead to liver damage.One form of this condition, known as alcoholic fatty liver disease, is associated with heavy drinking.When fat accumulates in the livers of people who don\u2019t drink heavily, it\u2019s known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.It\u2019s estimated that 25% of people in the United States, including children, have some degree of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.For most, the condition doesn\u2019t cause noticeable problems.But for up to one-third of them, the condition can progress and affect liver function.Risk factors for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease include obesity, particularly when high levels of belly fat are present; insulin resistance; diabetes; elevated blood pressure; sleep apnea; and high blood lipid levels.And now, this new study suggests that certain types of added sugars can also play a role.The researchers had 94 healthy men add a beverage sweetened with 80 grams of one of three different types of sugar to their regular diet.That\u2019s the equivalent of two cans of soda.Using radioactive tracers, they monitored the effect on levels of liver fat during the seven weeks of the study.No changes to fat accumulation were seen in the men drinking glucose, which is the simple sugar our bodies produce and use for energy.But the group whose drinks were sweetened with sucrose or with a liquid form of fructose had double the fat accumulation of the glucose group.This effect continued for 12 hours after their last sweetened drink.The takeaway is that the added sugars we ?nd in so many of our foods may be adversely affecting us, often in ways we can\u2019t see or feel, and causing harm.The American Heart Association recommends that women and men limit sugar intake to 25 and 48 grams per day, respectively.That\u2019s about 6 teaspoons for women and about 9 for men.Sugar is so easily and widely available, it can be hard to avoid.But emerging research continues to show that, for your long-term health and well-being, it\u2019s an important step to take.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.)

One of my friends went one step further and called this extortion.What do you think, Annie?Is this the way things are done nowadays, and I am living under a rock?- Pushing the Envelope on Etiquette Dear Pushing the Envelope: Things are being done very differently during the pandemic.People are having to hold off on getting together for large parties such as baby showers or weddings.Not wanting to do a Zoom call or virtual shower party is understandable.I\u2019m not sure that you were compelled to send a gift just because you received an announcement card that your friend\u2019s daughter is having a baby.However, instead of focusing on all that your friend\u2019s pregnant daughter did wrong with this invitation, try to shift your focus to being happy for the couple.It will make you happier.Dear Annie: So many people write in about their grown children not communicating with them much.My question for them is, when your children were young, did you talk to them instead of at them?Did you talk with the 2- or 3-year-old when they talked about the same thing over and over?How about the 5- or 8-year-old?So many people talk at their children and never let the child just simply talk.People are so busy that they need to step back and enjoy their children instead of rushing around.Be involved in your child\u2019s life without the temptation to give advice or criticize choices.Let them come to you with their thoughts and ideas.Lead by example.How often did you speak with your parents or grandparents?Remember, actions speak louder than words.- Happily Connected to All Generations Dear Happily Connected: Thank you for your letter, which I am printing because you offer good suggestions not only for parents speaking to their young children but also for adults speaking to one another.Really listening to someone and not just waiting for your turn to speak, or to criticize, is truly a gift we can give to one another.I don\u2019t fully agree with you that the reason some adult children fail to connect with their adult parents is because they didn\u2019t pay enough attention to them when they were young.That puts a little too much pressure and guilt on young parents.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
