MICHAEL BORIERO By Michael Boriero It took nearly two years, but after overcoming several obstacles created by the pandemic, the Granby Hospital at last unveiled its latest addition: a brand new intensive care unit.The state-of-the-art upgrade from the previous iteration features eight beds, sophisticated technology to make it easier for technicians, professionals, nurses and doctors, and more privacy options for families visiting people in the ICU.According to a press release, the unit is an 1,158 square metre expansion located above the emergency room in the North wing of the hospital.The project provides more functionality, and safe spaces for users and staff.It also improves infection prevention and control.Four weeks now okay for second dose, says Dubé CONT\u2019D ON

stunning exhibition developed by Pointe-à- Callière (Montreal Archaeology and History Complex) in Collaboration with Museo Egizio (Turin Italy), adapted by the Canadian Museum of History.Queens of Egypt opens with a water effect, rippling and re?ecting along the dark ?oor and featured on-screen as the water laps on the banks of the Nile, immediately transitioning attendees from the bright open spaces of the museum\u2019s main entrance and central installations to the warm depths of ancient history, 3,500 years back, to the New Kingdom (1539-1076 B.C.).Showcased in dim, concentrated lighting, there is an element of archaeology, mimicking the darkness of caves and pyramids.More than 350 precious artefacts are showcased in glass columns topped with tall, rectangular screens, where the golden contours of the seven featured Queens themselves appear, blinking and staring at passers-by, until they glimmer and dissolve into sandy, glittery wind-strewn particles, emerging and dispersing every few minutes.Found within the glass columns are frescos, funerary objects, jewellery, monumental statues, and one of the most interesting, and remarkable features is the \u2018Harem Conspiracy Papyrus\u2019 \u2013 noting accusations, convictions and judgments aimed at conspirators who plotted the assassination of pharaoah Rameses III.Speaking of the harem, this is certainly a word that has been adopted and appropriated in Western culture to represent a twisted version of what it actually was \u2013 a royal institution reserved exclusively for women and children, where the Queen, noblewomen and the pharaoh\u2019s concubines ruled.Explanations of harem life and elements from such noble spaces have their exclusive section in Queens of Egypt.Massive screens run constantly in each section, showing village and marketplace life, sacred spaces, and even the occasional cat purring in the sun.The Queens, including Nefertari, Nefertiti and Hatshepsut, are depicted as sisters, mothers, daughters of pharaohs, and one of them as a pharaoh herself.As the exhibition winds on, museum-goers shift from the life and times of the Queens to death, funeral practices and the afterlife.Four canopic jars, each with a different head to top the container demonstrate how different parts of the body were stored following death.We watch as the animated sun god Ra, paddles his way from day to night, life to death.Perhaps the most breathtaking of this impressive collection of treasures are the elaborate, impressive sarcophagi, ornately painted with minute drawings, depicting the person\u2019s life, and the afterlife, including the under-side of the lids and inside of the main sarcophagus.An animated wall shows the story outlined on an ancient scroll, of the weighing of a deceased person\u2019s heart in comparison to a feather, and the ultimate judgment by the gods as to their fate, and large upright rectangular screens like those featuring the Queens at the outset of the show reveal the gods, who glow, glimmer and dissolve into digital dust, emerging again from the dark.Such powerful history, imagery, colours and depictions that are so recognizable to so many of us, it is incredible to witness such objects and treasures before our very eyes.A must- see this summer, running until August 22nd, 2021.Most of us haven\u2019t been anywhere in quite some time, but the drive to Gatineau is an easy stretch (try making the trip via Highway 30, but remember that there is a $2.00 toll to pay along the way).Tickets are very reasonable at $20 (18 \u2013 64 years of age), $18 (65+), $15 (student admission \u2013 13 \u2013 17 years of age, 18+ with proper student identi?cation), $13 (8 \u2013 12 years of age), $5.00 for 2 \u2013 7 year-olds, and under 2 years of age, admission is free.There are also special rates of $50.00 for families (further details online).They may be purchased online at https://www.historymuseum.ca/ queens-of-egypt/ or by their call

Dubé, the 18-29-year-old age brackets are the most concerning in the province when it comes to vaccination coverage, with 115,000 people left to reach the minimum 75 per cent target.to do so.This structural issue, he said, is what should be resolved as of Tuesday morning.The Province of Quebec reported 176 new cases of COVID-19 over the weekend, 49 of which were from Sunday.As a result, the total number of people infected since the start of the pandemic increased to 375,195, with 732 considered active.Only one new death was recorded, for a total of 11,218, and the number of hospitalizations decreased to 102, with 27 in intensive care.In the Eastern townships there were six new cases added to the overall total since last Wednesday\u2019s report, but the number of active cases in the region decreased by one to 13, with two in Sherbrooke, two in the Coaticook area, seven in the Haute-Yamaska, and one in the Pommeraie.There were no new deaths in the region and the number of hospitalizations remained unchanged at seven, with no one in intensive care.The total number of vaccine doses administered across the province of Quebec increased to 8,757,940 on Monday, of which 2,704,281 were second doses.As a result, 71.5 per cent of the population is now vaccinated with at least one dose (81.7 per cent of the population 12 and up), and 33.9 per cent are considered adequately vaccinated.According to Dubé, the 18-29-year- old age brackets are the most concerning in the province when it comes to vaccination coverage, with 115,000 people left to reach the minimum 75 per cent target.The health minister expressed a hope that the increased ?exibility in second-dose dates and an increase in drop-in vaccination clinics will help motivate stragglers.The next update on vaccination in the Eastern Townships is expected on Tuesday.François Bonnardel, Quebec\u2019s transport minister and minister responsible for the Eastern Townships, told The Record that it was dif?cult organizing the project and dealing with COVID-19 at the same time.He applauded the efforts made to ?nish the project on time.\u201cIt was quite dif?cult, but we started the project about 18 months ago and we ?nished the project in time, with a budget of $10.3 million, so we\u2019re quite happy about the situation and it proved that it can be done even if we have a pandemic,\u201d said Bonnardel.The Ministry of Health and Social Services invested $3,972,000 into the project, the Fondation du Centre hospitalier de Granby contributed $4.5 million, and the balance came from the CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie - CHUS.Hospital staff even pitched in to the foundation funds.The new ICU has eight beds, which is equivalent to the old unit, however, Dr.Marc-Antoine Rivard, a specialist in internal medicine at the hospital, said all of the beds can be used for intubated patients, or those in critical care, whereas it used to only be four.There are also bathrooms in each room, the doctor explained, which was not always the case.In the previous ICU, there was one bathroom for the entire ?oor.This is one of the many upgrades that the hospital\u2019s team believes will make patients feel more comfortable.The Record also asked Bonnardel about the ongoing negotiations between the Quebec government and the unions representing health professionals and technicians.The hospital is one of many throughout the province struggling to attract and retain staff.\u201cThey are demanding some more salary, and that\u2019s a negotiation that Sonia Lebel is having with all of the unions,\u201d said Bonnardel, adding that he would not speak on behalf of the minister responsible for government administration.Unions have vocalized their displeasure with the Coalition Avenir Québec government throughout the past year.Health professionals and technicians believe they are overworked and underpaid, which has subsequently led to a worsening worker shortage.\u201cI think it is a problem all over Quebec, it is not just here.We are trying to recruit [\u2026] but it is a very complex issue, and we hope that having a new unit will help recruit new people and that they are going to stay,\u201d said Rivard.He added that the hospital\u2019s administration is currently handling the worker shortage as best as it can, and the ICU will be up and running on Wednesday.Stéphane Tremblay, president and CEO of the CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie - CHUS, said the government has been transparent with unions.\u201cThere are a lot of discussions between the government and the unions, so I prefer to leave the discussions at the right place, but just to reassure you that I have exchanged with different unions, we have four unions, the collaboration is very good,\u201d said Tremblay.He told The Record that the new intensive care unit will at least improve the quality and security of health for every patient who needs intensive care.He said it is a big step for the medical and professional team at Granby Hospital.Tremblay said the hospital needed an upgrade as the population in Haute- Yamaska rises steadily every year.And there is a growing elderly population, he continued.There are also plans to follow the same ICU blueprint at the Fleurimont Hospital in Sherbrooke.\u201cWe are building an intensive care unit at Fleurimont for paediatric patients and neonatal intensive care and it will be following the same model, the same medical equipment and features,\u201d said Tremblay, adding that he expects that project to be completed by 2023.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Granby Hospital CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Second dose Police pursuit over the weekend in Magog Record Staff It was a busy weekend for the Régie de Police Memphrémagog (RMP).On Sunday, July 4 when patrol of?cers arrested three individuals trying to obtain refunds for items in the Rona home improvement store on Centre Street in Magog.The merchant noticed the abnormal transactions and immediately noti?ed the RPM of?cers.The three individuals were taken into custody and their two vehicles were seized as offence-related property.Two of the individuals related to the intervention appeared in court in the afternoon for breaches of conditions prohibiting them from being together for similar offences.On Monday morning, one of the three individuals was released from the RPM police station pending charges, but within minutes of his release, the 35-year-old showed up at the Ultramar gas station at 2380 Principale West to steal the vehicle of a customer whose car was at the gas pumps.Noticing the key was still in the vehicle, the individual boarded the vehicle and ?ed the scene in front of four customers who immediately alerted the owner inside the convenience store.As he drove away, the suspect backed into a truck that was parked in the yard and then the citizens intervened, attempting to stop the fugitive, but he ran into the customers and even ran over the foot of one of them.The citizens did everything they could to break the window and stop the thief, but without success.A 911 call was immediately placed and RPM police of?cers noti?ed their colleagues from surrounding police forces while heading down Highway 10 to try to locate the stolen vehicle.Two RPM patrol of?cers chased the fugitive as far as kilometre 85 in the direction of Montréal.At the Bromont exit police of?cers of the SM Bromont were waiting for him.The two police services pursued the fugitive on Chemin Saxby.At the Dennison intersection he lost control of the stolen vehicle, ran a traf?c light and ended up in the ditch of a nearby lot.Of?cers quickly arrested him, but since the suspect was injured he was transported to the CHUS for evaluation.The subject has a lengthy criminal history including two pending charges for hit and run as well as theft and is under a driving driving ban.The individual will appear at the Sherbrooke Court House on a number of charges including (at the discretion of the crown prosecutor) grand theft auto, hit and run accident, police pursuit, dangerous driving and driving while prohibited.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY

was wrong When Bill Gates was 20 years old he knew the right thing to do was to drop out of school and concentrate on building a computer and its operating system.He\u2019s been right about a lot of things in the 45 years since then: a Microsoft product is in more than a billion communication devices worldwide and Bill Gates is the fourth richest person in the world.But he was wrong when he said, \u201cI know there\u2019s a farmer out there somewhere who never wants a PC and that\u2019s ?ne with me.\u201d Or let me put in another way: farming, circa early 21st century, cannot be done sustainably or pro?t- ably without some sort of computer.That\u2019s the conclusion of a myriad of studies of the future of farming \u2013 from the World Economic Forum to the Action Canada Fellowship to the Royal Bank study called Farmer 4.0 - all of them suggest that with the correct mix of skills, agriculture could add another $11 billion to Canada\u2019s GDP and make the sector more productive than auto manufacturing and aerospace combined.Quebec is working on strategies to make it happen \u2013 some of them are forward-looking, others sadly not.Within the next ?ve years, one in four Canadian farmers will be 65 or older with more than 100,000 expected to retire in the coming decade.Meanwhile, fewer young people than ever are entering agriculture.These stats in themselves are not worrying \u2013 the number of farms and farmer jobs has been declining for years even as production yields have risen.More worrying is the lack of urgency with which tech-savvy-ness is being promoted.Farmers on tractors are still iconic images of \u201ccountry\u201d, but it\u2019s fast becoming a thing of the past - many farmers are already spending more time in front of screens.Autonomous tractors will soon pull or push machinery for ploughing, tilling, disking, harrowing or planting.All these devices and new technologies require farmer management.Identifying the right product ?t as a buyer, knowing how to operate new devices, and understanding the return on investment (ROI) that technology brings as part of their existing infrastructure is crucial.More and more tasks which used to be done manually are being automated.Weeding robotics can be incredibly accurate and reduce pesticide usage by 90 per cent with computer vision.Drones can help food growers monitor conditions remotely, and even apply fertilizers and other treatments from above.All these require a rethink of the relationship between humans and robots.In the period before tech platforms are completely intuitive and robots fully autonomous, the skills young farmers will need are platform orchestration and data management.Selecting, aligning and managing all the tools and platforms to increase productivity is still a complex task which requires signi?cant input from tech creators, vendors and farmers themselves.Digital tools such as arti?cial intelligence (AI), big data, blockchain and the internet of things (IoT) are crucial to entrepreneurs working in farming, especially considering the apparently irreversible trend of fewer and fewer people engaged in farming.Much of this cannot happen until rural areas are equipped with a high- speed broadband network.Quebec has promised this will be reality in September 2022.More than a decade ago, Quebec mandated the Commission sur l\u2019avenir de l\u2019agriculture du Québec (the Commission for the Future of Agriculture in Quebec) to assess the challenges of agriculture, analyse existing public interventions, and make recommendations based on the needs for agricultural competitiveness and social needs.The top three recommendations \u2013 get rid of the UPA monopoly, get rid of the monopoly- power of marketing boards and get rid of grants that guarantee the prices of certain farm products \u2013 have never been implemented, a nod to the power of the farm lobby, which even the government\u2019s own commission recognized cost Quebec consumers hundreds of dollars a year.On the other hand, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has said that Quebec\u2019s National Rural Policy (NRP) was \u201cone of the most advanced policy approaches to promoting rural development in the OECD area.\u201d An important part of the NRP is its labelling schemes, designed to highlight the various \u201cterroirs\u201d (regions) and their respective products (e.g.Charlevoix lamb, Montérégie and Canton de l\u2019est wine).Quebec\u2019s ag industry is a leader in organic production methods and support, has agri-environmental policies with a long-term focus tied to society\u2019s concerns and farmers\u2019 revenues, and had animal traceability and mental health awareness programs years before other provinces.Quebec\u2019s Centre for Agriculture and Agri-foods (CRAAQ) provides a continuum of services where support, knowledge and network access is shared by 5,000 professionals and 15,000 ag and food companies \u2013 it includes a land bank program to match new farmers to land and help transfer existing farm business to new operators.All involved agree that the cost of this regulatory framework is a prohibitive amount of paperwork.Disparate policies seek to balance our ability to feed ourselves with nutritious, environmentally sound and relatively cheap food and our ability to be an export powerhouse.We are transforming the way we produce and market food, but we need to do it faster.Dian Cohen is an economist and a founding organizer of the Massawippi Valley Health Centre.Cohendian560@gmail.com Dian Cohen William Farwell Jr (1835-1918): A prominent businessman and Sherbrooke mayor Gérard Coté (Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society) and Jean-Marie Dubois (Université de Sherbrooke) A street in the North Ward of Sherbrooke was named after William Farwell Jr in 1948.He was a businessman very involved in the economic development of Sherbrooke and of the Eastern Townships, in general.William Farwell Jr was born in Compton, one of a family of 9 children.He was the son of Harriett Carr (1809- ca 1880) and William Farwell (1804- 1876), a merchant He studied at Sherbrooke Academy, Hatley Academy and Bishop\u2019s College in Lennoxville.He began in business in 1852 in Melbourne and then, from 1854 to 1859, he was a general merchant for Kilborn & Morrill in Stanstead QC and Derby Line, VT.Later , he continued as an assistant cashier at the People\u2019s Bank (National Bank) in Derby Line, Vermont.In 1860, he married Elizabeth Jane Winn (1839- 1925) from Stanstead.They had two sons, both born in Sherbrooke: Edward Winn (1864-1932) and Charles Bowers (1868-1906).William Farwell Jr settled in Sherbrooke in 1861, where he was a cashier at the Eastern Townships Bank on Commercial Street (Dufferin Street since 1904).In 1879, he became the general manager of the bank, and then president in 1902.He held this position untill 1912 when the bank was amalgameted with the Canadian Bank of Commerce.He sat on the board of the bank untill his death.His picture appeared on the 1873 ?ve dollar bill of the Eastern Townships Bank and later, in 1906, on the six dollar bill.In 1896, Farwell was elected vice-president of the Canadian Bankers Association.From at least 1879 to 1902, William Farwell Jr lived above the bank.He eventually moved to 60 Dufferin Street (presently the 446 Duferin Street, and presently named the Ritchie Home).He remained there untill his death.His son Edward Winn Farwell lived with his father untill 1902.Around 1902, Edward Winn had become an inspector for the Bank and from 1909, he was manager of the Sherbrooke branch.Along with his banking work, William Farwell Jr was in 1870 one of the promoters of the St.Francis and Megantic International Railway, that became in 1879 the International Railway.This railway had started in 1871 at the Grand Tunk Railway in Lennoxville, gone as far as Bury in 1875 and Megantic in 1879.In 1887, it was taken over by the Canadian Paci?c.Between 1871 and 1877, Farwell was also involved in several Sherbrooke pulp and paper companies : Sherbrooke Paper Box Co., Smith, Elkins & Co., Sherbrooke Pulp & Paper Co.In 1892, he invested in the St.Francis Mills Co., the former C.S.Clark of Brompton Falls, that would be bought back in 1898 by the Royal Paper Mills in East Angus.Farwell was also president of the Sherbrooke Hospital from 1905 to 1913 and then honorary life president.He ?nally sat on many board of directors : International Coal & Coke, Canadian Rand Drill, Jenckes Machine Co., Consolidated Mining and Smelting, Drummond County Railway, South Eastern Railway, Empire Trust Co., Montreal Hospital for the Insane, St.Francis League for Prevention of Tuberculosis, Sherbrooke Railway and Power and Bishop\u2019s College.In 1903, campaingning against the municipalizarion of the electric power in the city, William Farwell Jr became the 25th mayor of Sherbrooke, which he was until 1904.He was alderman from 1904 to 1906 and was again mayor in 1907-1908.At that point, a referendum was held on the the municipalizarion of the electric power in Sherbrooke and the yes side won.While he was mayor, Sherbrooke gained home mail delivery service.In 1907, Bishop\u2019s Univerity awarded William Farwell Jr an honorary law doctorate for his banking career.He died in 1918 in his Dufferin Street home and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery with his wife and two sons.GAUDREAULT, AMÉDÉE (1954) LES MAIRES DE SHERBROOKE.SELF-PUBLISHED, SHERBROOKE,

new summer student at the Missis- quoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) where she will assume the role of Receptionist and multi-functional super girl for the next eight weeks.Aryane is the daughter of Yannick Bahl (WAX Ski Shop) and Fanny Boulais (Mansonville Elementary School Principal).She has one brother, Alexy and she proudly announces the addition of a family dog named Lylou.Given her family\u2019s interest is sports it is not surprising that she has been in the Owls Head ski Club for seven years and intends to continue for as long as she can.\u201cSkiing is a part of my life,\u201d shares Bahl.\u201cI\u2019m proud to say that I excel in my age group which is made up of both boys and girls.\u201d Aryane loves to read and enjoys spending hours shopping for books and added to her list of hobbies is : jewelery making, clothes shopping, music and she even played the piano and sang when she was younger.Aryane is a student going into secondary ?ve in the fall at LaRuche in Magog.She says that she has good grades but being top of her class in some subjects always varies from year to year.She is one of two students in the entire school who is in two different \u201c sport-etude \u201d programs (skiing and swimming).\u201cSchool is very important to me,\u201d says Bahl.\u201cI will always do my best to keep good grades and to pursue partaking my my favorite sports,\u201d she added.Bahl took part in the CABMN youth programs as a member of the Girls Group and also participated in Saturday Dance Group.She performed in some of the annual talent shows and was always a youth who supported others.Regardless of the age, Aryane was willing to work with all other members of the group and to offer her encouragment and help if needed.Pursuing her skiing meant that she could not always participate but when she could, she was there.\u201cI don\u2019t know exactly what I want to do in the future, \u201d she said.\u201cI still have time to ?gure all of that out.I do know that I want to live a little before starting a career (travel around the world, do some ski trips\u2026).Aryane is looking forward to learning about the CABMN Volunteer Centre, a non-pro?t charitable organization.She has already managed in her ?rst week at the CAB Main Of?ce to capture the respect and friendship of the staff.Quickly referred to as a multi- functional quick learner, Aryane is already a member of the team!

between the Summer of 2007 and the end of 2008 but said that, even in that short time, working for the paper proved to be an important steppingstone for future work.\u201cIt presented to me a really interesting challenge that I wanted to take on, but I remember feeling really nervous about that,\u201d she said, sharing that the job was her ?rst in Quebec.\u201cIt ended up being a really great way to improve my French and learn, because you\u2019re just sort of thrown into it.\u201d These days Rogers is reporting for Nunatsiaq News, which covers news for communities in Nunavut and Nunavik, but she said that she came to Sherbrooke from work in Alberta because her partner was from Quebec.\u201cI have some really good memories of being there,\u201d she said, expressing particular gratitude for the support and mentorship of veteran reporter Rita Legault.\u201cI was really lucky to have her as a mentor because she had been in the region for so long.\u201d Rogers said that Legault made a point of introducing her to other reporters and people in the community, which helped to show the value of being well connected in the work of a community journalist.After her time at The Record, Rogers said that her family travelled north because her partner got a teaching job in Nunavik.It was during this time, she said, that she ?rst made contact with Nunatsiaq News through various freelance contracts, although she didn\u2019t start working there full-time until after a brief return to Sherbrooke.\u201cI\u2019d had my second daughter at that point so it was a little harder to travel,\u201d she said, explaining that although her new baby was only three months old, the contract that came up to be the Townships reporter for the CBC seemed like one not to be missed.\u201cI had a neat time learning the ropes with radio,\u201d she said, noting that she was on the job with the national broadcaster at the time of the Lac- Mégantic explosion, among other local events.Ultimately, however, Rogers said that radio was not for her.\u201cI think at the end of the day I realized that I didn\u2019t like the public personality I had to have to work in radio,\u201d she said.\u201cI\u2019m really a print journalist at heart.\u201d Although the reporter said that she always imagined herself moving towards work for a larger daily newspaper in some big city or another, her experiences working in smaller communities have proven to be the most ful?lling.\u201cI think that\u2019s because of the advocacy you feel like you\u2019re doing for these often-underrepresented communities,\u201d she said, sharing that this is particularly the case working and living in northern communities.\u201cThere is very little media coverage and very few journalists present in the region.\u201d Looking back to that idea of getting to know community members in order to be able to tell their stories, Rogers pointed out that the way people talk about isolated communities is negatively impacted by long-distance reporting.\u201cThe journalism community in Canada has come a long way as far as how we approach stories about Indigenous or marginalized communities, but I still think there\u2019s a lot of stereotyping and really narrow ideas about what happens in the north,\u201d she said.\u201cIf you\u2019re a reporter based in Ottawa or Montreal and you\u2019ve never been to the north, and you\u2019re trying to report on it, it\u2019s really hard to get that full story.\u201d In terms of her time working for Nunatsiaq News, Rogers said that she spent some time living in Iqaluit and Nunavik, but also did a fair amount of travel back and forth.\u201cI\u2019d do ?ve or six trips a year, usually focused around covering a government meeting, then stay on for a week or so after,\u201d she said, explaining that it is in that time afterward that she could build the connections and relationships needed to provide a broader picture of peoples\u2019 day-to-day lives.\u201cIt takes a really long time to build up that kind of trust in communities.\u201d Asked about what she feels Canadians are missing in conversations about life in the north, Rogers said that reporting often highlights present-day issues without looking at the history and the trauma behind them.\u201cI\u2019m constantly faced with having to report on high rates of \u2018?ll-in-the- blank\u2019,\u201d she said, naming suicide, poverty, and high school dropouts as a few examples.Speaking at a time when many are becoming more aware of the ways in which Indigenous Peoples in Canada have been systemically mistreated or abused over the course of the country\u2019s history, Rogers added that, \u201cit always takes an awful traumatic event for people to dig in.\u201d School drop-out rates, or a reluctance to trust the healthcare system, look different, she noted, in a community that has suffered repeated intergenerational trauma through institutions such as schools and hospitals in the past.\u201cNow there\u2019s a few more people reading the ?nal report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission,\u201d she said.\u201cWe\u2019re understanding it better, but there is still stuff missing.\u201d Although Rogers remains committed to sharing the stories of northern communities, she shared that she is struggling a little bit at the moment due to the fact that she has been outside of the regions she reports on for two years now.\u201cIn 2019, I took a leave of absence to do a journalism fellowship at (The University of Toronto), and that ran into 2020,\u201d she said, explaining that once the pandemic hit, quarantine restrictions kept her away.\u201cIt has been hard to not be up north at all for two years, because every trip you do reinvigorates those connections,\u201d she said, sharing the hope that with a second vaccine dose now behind her, she\u2019ll be heading back soon, in person.COURTESY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER

were the best team in the NHL, having dominated in the regular season and run away with the President\u2019s Trophy.I was living in Toronto at the time, and (predictably) the Leafs didn\u2019t even make the playoffs that year.Yet this Canadian team out west was tearing up the standings.Bars in my neighbourhood were full of fair- weather Canucks fans.I became one myself.Walking the streets of Toronto that spring, you would think you were actually in Vancouver, with all the blue and green sweaters about.The daily temperatures were very agreeable, as though all us fair-weather fans had somehow made the weather itself more like Vancouver\u2019s.Of course, the Canucks\u2019 sunny Cup run that year ended in stormy disaster.The team lost in the seventh game of the Stanley Cup Final to Boston and the famous Vancouver riots ensued.A year or so later, I moved to the province of Quebec.And thanks to my previous bandwagon experience\u2014 and thus my cultivated hatred of the Boston Bruins\u2014becoming a Montreal Canadiens fan seemed like a natural next step.Of course, in becoming a Habs fan back then, I wasn\u2019t exactly jumping on any bandwagons.Not that the Canadiens were a terrible team.In 2014, for example, they made a respectably deep run in the playoffs.But since that time\u2026 not much to write home about.Until this year of course (but let\u2019s not get too far ahead of ourselves).Despite the Habs\u2019 poor record these past few years, I have elevated my fandom all out of proportion.No mere fair-weather fan am II don\u2019t just tune in for the playoffs.I follow the entire, absurdly long 82- game season.Whether they\u2019re winning or losing.(Especially if they\u2019re losing.) I sacri?ce sleep to watch road games out west.I tune in to the intellectual blackhole of sports radio.I listen to all that boneheaded, between-game analysis like it actually matters.Why do I do these things?Why does anyone invest themselves emotionally in a sports team?Only one team wins a Stanley Cup each year.That means 30 other fan bases are left disappointed.That\u2019s not very good odds.Even if your team wins the Cup, the victory is short-lived.In the off-season, your favourite players get traded away (typically because of contracts and money, as though these players aren\u2019t rich enough already).In the fall, your depleted team limps back onto the ice and the whole crazy process starts all over again.But the moment your team hoists the Cup, that\u2019s worth all the anguish, right?Some would say yes.Truly long- suffering Habs fans will talk about 1993\u2014the last time the Habs won\u2014with the kind of nostalgia usually reserved for memories of ?rst love.You would think that the Habs\u2019 miraculous playoff run this year has been a source of incandescent pleasure for fans like me.Yet my anxiety over this team has never be higher.Each time they won a round, I was happy, sure.But in the back of my mind was the nagging awareness that defeat might still loom.Unless they win the whole darned thing, of course.Which is the only outcome that can possibly scratch the sports fan\u2019s itch.In 2011, a friend of mine who grew up in Vancouver\u2014and was not just a bandwagon Canucks fan like me\u2014did not seem to be enjoying her beloved team\u2019s playoff run very much at all.In fact, she looked miserable.She could barely watch a game.She shut herself in her apartment whenever they played and forced herself not to check the score.\u201cYou have no idea,\u201d she told me gravely, \u201chow long we\u2019ve been waiting for this.\u201d The Canucks had never won a Cup, and they didn\u2019t that year either.After that calamitous game seven, my friend, who is Jewish, joked that she would now be sitting shiva.(Or maybe she wasn\u2019t joking?) As I write these re?ections, the Canadiens have lost three straight games to the despised Tampa Bay Lightning.Things are *not* looking good.Yet they were also down against Toronto and seemed defeated then.They bounced back and won.Hope tortures eternal.Of course, as you read this, on a Tuesday morning, the Canadiens may have already been swept and the whole accursed playoffs might be over.In that case, if you want me, I\u2019ll be home sitting shiva.Or at least until next season begins.The Record keeps me aware of local, provincial and Canadian national news.Interesting editorials I especially enjoy reading the \u201cMy Takes\u201d, and I respect their comments.As a Townshipper and longtime supporter of The Record, I enjoy the following: TALK: Your weekly guide to Townships Cuture and

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, July 6, 2021 Page 7 SPORTS Local Sports Expos steal win over Big Bill, collapse in loss against Pirates Record Staff Two weeks into the season, the Sherbrooke Expos sit at two wins and two losses, and they have already proved that they can swing for the fences with a high-powered offence and pull out ahead in a tight, defensive matchup.After being dominated by the Coaticook Big Bill in game one of the Ligue de Baseball Majeur du Québec (LBMQ) regular season, the Expos responded with a 2-1 victory over their regional rivals on Friday evening at Amédée-Roy Stadium.Tyler Havlena, a new addition to the squad this summer, propelled Sherbrooke over the Big Bill with a two-run single in the bottom of the ?fth inning.Havlena brought in Expos standout Ismael Pena and Nelson Ercia Jr for the win.Maxime Lavoie put the Big Bill ahead in the fourth inning with a single to the out?eld that helped Anthony Quirion reach home plate.However, Sherbrooke\u2019s starting pitcher Oscar Rodriguez was lights out on Friday, allowing only two hits for his ?rst win of the season.According to a press release, there were roughly 200 spectators at the stadium, despite the Montreal Canadiens playing in game three of the Stanley Cup Finals.The Expos followed up a stingy win with a tough 12-8 loss to the St-Jean-sur-Richelieu Pirates on Saturday.It was a game marred by errors, as the Expos blew two signi?cant leads.Sherbrooke was up 6-0 at one point, and 8-3 later in the game, but the Pirates clawed back, scoring six runs in the sixth inning.The Expos struggled on the mound, giving the Pirates some life.St-Jean-sur-Richelieu\u2019s Nicolas Loiseau led the comeback after he struck a ball to Expos second baseman Christophe Jutras.Jutras committed an error, which in turn allowed three Pirates\u2019 runners to get on the board.Expos pitcher Claudio Ortiz only gave up three hits to the Pirates before being pulled from the game.Sherbrooke\u2019s reliever Samuel Greene was given the loss.The Expos will have a week to regroup before taking on the Pirates again next Friday at Richard Lafontaine stadium.Sherbrooke will also face the Montreal Jets Saturday afternoon, and they take on a dangerous Thetford Mines Blue Sox team Sunday afternoon.Both games will be held at Amédée- Roy stadium.The Expos have divided the stadium into two sections of 250 spectators.Sherbrooke has also reminded its faithful fans to respect health and safety measures.People inside the stadium must wear a mask and maintain a physical distance in order for the team to continue the team\u2019s partnership with the city of Sherbrooke.VINCENT LÉVESQUE-ROUSSEAU PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL

League defeated the National League by a score of 4-2.TODAY\u2019S MOON: Between last quarter moon (July 1) and new moon (July 9).By Mark Kennedy The Associated Press You\u2019re at the supermarket and a recipe you\u2019re shopping for calls for rutabagas.Don\u2019t see any?Can you substitute turnips?While you\u2019re thinking about that, you\u2019ve also been asked to pick up some condensed milk.Isn\u2019t that really just the same as evaporated milk?The answers to those and other vexing kitchen-based questions can all be found in the insightful book \u201cWhat\u2019s the Difference?: Recreational Culinary Reference for the Curious and Confused.\u201d Author Brette Warshaw wades into the potentially fraught worlds of jam versus jelly, broth and stock, the various types of regional barbeque, pie versus tart, and the potentially combustible differences between grinders, heroes, hoagies and subs.\u201cI feel like this hopefully can help ?ll in the gaps for people,\u201d she said.\u201cAnd even if they do know the difference, hopefully there\u2019s some other fun facts they can take away to make their knowledge more well- rounded.\u201d The entries _ nicely illustrated by Sophia Foster-Dimino _ are short and tight, showing off Warshaw\u2019s journalist roots, and sometimes betraying the author\u2019s opinion.Take her entry on Parmesan versus Parmigiano-Reggiano.The latter is strictly regulated and refers to cheese from a speci?c Italian region, while the former has looser standards and doesn\u2019t even have to be 100% cheese.She notes grated supermarket Parmesan can have cellulose, an anti- clumping agent made from wood pulp.\u201cTo me, what felt egregious about the whole situation is that all sorts of stuff could be passing as Parmigiano- Reggiano and it\u2019s de?nitely not the same thing,\u201d she said.\u201cI de?nitely whip out opinions sometimes and that felt like an appropriate place.\u201d But she\u2019s not being judgy.Her ?ance has been known to sprinkle some grated Parmesan on his pizza and she says that\u2019s OK: \u201cThe crime is not actually eating it.If you want to eat it and you like it, no judgment there.\u201d Sometimes Warshaw\u2019s research discovered no difference between commonly confused items.Readers may be shocked to discover that button, cremini and Portobello mushrooms are all the same type of mushroom.Or they may be stunned to ?nd out that shrimp and prawns are completely different creatures but pretty much taste the same.\u201cThat\u2019s an interesting one, where it\u2019s like there is de?nitely a difference.But, in the end, it kind of doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d The book emerged from a newsletter Warshaw started in 2018 which addresses the differences between all kinds of things, like how sea lions and seals are not the same and why balconies are not terraces.It started with a simple question.\u201cI had been debating with friends about the difference between a sweet potato and a yam and realized I didn\u2019t know the difference,\u201d she says.\u201cI was kind of upset by that.\u201d Warshaw turns out to be a person who ?nds a gap in her knowledge and really doesn\u2019t walk away, shrugging.\u201cI did a little bit of research and then realized how many other questions I had that were of the what\u2019s-the- difference variety.\u201d For the book, Warshaw concentrated on food and beverages, leaning on her own food knowledge that she\u2019d built up at stints working at Food52 and Lucky Peach magazine.Karen Rinaldi, senior vice president and publisher at Harper Wave, helped convince Warshaw to focus the book as a culinary resource, calling her a creative and naturally curious person with a wide-ranging brain.Rinaldi cooks all the time and still ?nds things confusing, like the differences between IPA, pale ale and pilsner.The entry she most appreciates is on cobblers, crisps, buckles and crumbles: \u201cThat was the one that just delighted me because it slotted into a question that we have all the time.Now I know.\u201d One of the exasperating questions many consumers debate is competently dealt with: What\u2019s the difference between canola and corn oil, much less grapeseed, peanut, saf?ower and vegetable oils?\u201cSomething that a lot of people maybe don\u2019t know is that any sort of neutral oil is pretty much ?ne for the same sort of purpose,\u201d she said.\u201cI think that\u2019s actually a difference that hopefully makes your life a bit easier - to know the basics of what you really need and what can be swapped for each other.\u201d Oh, and for the record: Rutabagas are not the same as turnips, and don\u2019t confuse condensed milk with evaporated milk.One never-?nished entry still haunts Warshaw, the one that got away: What\u2019s the difference between frosting, icing and glaze?It seems basic but tons of her research hasn\u2019t produced an adequate response.\u201cI still don\u2019t really have the answer there or a de?nitive answer.The answer might be that there is no de?nitive answer.But that\u2019s a tough thing to accept.So I think I\u2019m still going to be trying to get to the bottom of that one.\u201d Datebook Yam vs.sweet potato: A reference guide to food differences PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY

did not have a good childhood; as we got older, our own dynamics grew toxic, and I had no choice but to keep her away.I was glad that we started talking again earlier this year, but since we have reconnected, I have noticed some quirks.She believes in a lot of conspiracy theories and practices a religion that has some strange beliefs.She says very hateful things about certain groups of people.Sometimes, we will be enjoying ourselves at the mall or at lunch, and seemingly out of nowhere, she will start espousing some of her crazy or hateful beliefs.She has also done this around my children.Another thing is that she randomly gets incredibly frightened and calls me crying and begging me to buy supplies for her in case it\u2019s the end of the world, or to loan her money to leave the country because she believes the government is trying to kill her.She gets all her information from videos she ?nds online.I have begged her to stop, and I try to be patient, but it\u2019s upsetting to me, and I stay stressed for days after one of her episodes.I don\u2019t want to lose my sister again, but our relationship is wearing me down.Can you help?- Sad About Sis Dear Sad: The internet has ?ooded the world with conspiracy theories.Millions are lost in that sea, while the rest of us, their friends and family, stand waiting at the shore.In your sister\u2019s case, it sounds as though there might be a deeper issue at play.Her extreme paranoia suggests an underlying mental illness.While you can\u2019t force her to seek help, you can encourage her to do so.First, empathize with her anxieties.The modern world can be an overwhelming, frightening place right now; history seems to be moving at an alarming clip.Technology does raise legitimate privacy concerns.You can understand where she\u2019s coming from without agreeing to where she\u2019s ended up.Ask how she\u2019s doing.Let her know that you\u2019ve been concerned lately, because her fears seem to be causing her a lot of distress - such as the times when she called you asking for money to ?ee the country.Encourage her to consider talking with a counselor.Whether or not she agrees to get help, you can help yourself by setting better boundaries.Let her know you won\u2019t tolerate any hate speech; the second she starts that up, ?rmly excuse yourself.For relief from the burden of shouldering this weight

don\u2019t want to see these items sitting carelessly out in the rain and snow for months between now and the time we move.How do I tell my neighbors that they cannot purchase any items?- Nervous Neighbor Dear Nervous Neighbor: You could try selling some of the furniture online, on platforms such as Facebook Marketplace or Nextdoor - but those can raise safety concerns.Ebay is another option, although the costs of shipping can be high.Of course, you can have a yard sale without any price stickers and give your neighbors an unreasonably high price point if they inquire.But the fact of the matter is that if you\u2019re going to sell something, you need to relinquish control of what happens to it afterward.Dear Annie: My longtime best friend of 15 years and I entered into a romantic relationship in March of last year.It was a nightmare from almost the very beginning.There were faults and failures on both sides, but ultimately, it ended when it came to light that he had not only been cheating on me but also gotten the other girl pregnant! The breakup has left me very confused and deeply hurt and traumatized.I miss my best friend more than anything.We\u2019ve had no contact for more than a month now, but lately the urge to reach out to him has been overwhelming.What do I do?Is it better to leave things as they stand?Is reaching out a bad idea?- Missing My Best Friend Dear MMBF: Wounds can get itchy when they\u2019re healing.That doesn\u2019t mean we should scratch them.The longing you feel to talk to your ex right now is an itch that shouldn\u2019t be scratched.Take time to mend and focus on your own mental health and personal development.Try new hobbies.Establish positive routines.When you feel yourself wanting to reach out to him, reach out to another friend instead.It won\u2019t be easy, but it will get a little bit easier every day.Dear Annie: The world is full of self- righteous people.I have a few strategies to avoid becoming one, which I thought you might share with your readers.First, I have learned that being empathetic - always trying to understand where the other person is coming from - and a good listener goes a long way, not just in con?icts but in everyday life.When a friend is venting about a problem, don\u2019t interrupt.Take a deep breath.Just listening will be much more helpful to them than armchair diagnoses.Second, I forgive myself and others in my life every day.I will myself to do so even when I don\u2019t feel like it.And lastly, I have a sign on my desk that I look at before I call anyone about anything.It says, in big bold type, \u201cNO \u2018YOU\u2019 STATEMENTS.\u201d I invite all to do the same.- Big T.Dear Big T.: I think your sign ought to come pre-installed on desks.Thanks for the thoughtful tips.Dear Annie: Your response to \u201cWrongfully Accused,\u201d the man in the long-distance relationship with a woman who wrongly accuses him of in?delity, misses another possibility.She may have a paranoid delusional disorder known as Othello syndrome.Those diagnosed with it are unable to distinguish between reality and their delusions that a spouse or partner is being unfaithful.My wife of 35 years is continually tormented by these thoughts, and it causes great stress in our marriage.But I would never leave her.- Faithful Husband Dear Faithful Husband: Until receiving your letter, I had never heard of Othello syndrome, which is \u201ca psychotic disorder characterized by delusion of in?delity or jealousy,\u201d as noted in the Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences in 2012.Although it\u2019s a rare condition, it\u2019s a possibility worth considering, for sure.Thank you for writing.Dear Annie: I believe you missed the tongue-in-cheek nature of the letter written by \u201cSimply Smitten.\u201d Clearly, the letter is written in the voice of the dog.There were several clues, not the very least of which is when the letter writer stated, \u201cI guess Laura is turned off by my puppy love.\u201d If you hadn\u2019t ?gured that out already, reread the letter with this in mind.- A Dog Lover Dear Dog Lover: Oh, dear.I think you\u2019re right - and in that case, I\u2019d like to take back my advice that he should seek therapy.Thanks for the reminder not to take everything so seriously.Dear Annie: When I was a child, I had many chilling things happen to me.I barely remember some incidents, and they don\u2019t seem to affect me now - well, other than the mental illness running through my entire body.Anyway, as a 47-year-old looking back, one thing still hurts me to the core and brings tears to my eyes as I write this: I miss my sister.And I miss her because there is this huge divide between us stemming from something that happened when I was 17.I was forced to reveal to her and my mother, at a psychiatric treatment facility for depression, that my mother\u2019s ex-husband had abused me when I was in seventh and eighth grade, and my sister ?at-out told me and the therapist that she didn\u2019t believe it.How do I repair our relationship if she never believed me to begin with?- Brokenhearted Dear Brokenhearted: You were very brave to tell your sister what happened.Sadly, it was too painful for her to say she is sorry for what happened.Hopefully, in time, she will gain strength and compassion for you, and you can begin to heal your relationship.But regardless of your relationship with your sister, your relationship with yourself and the trauma that you suffered are ?rst and foremost.I believe you, and I am sorry that happened to you.You can heal and become stronger than before, but the 13-year-old girl has to heal ?rst.Once you tell her that it was not her fault what happened to her, and your adult self starts to heal, your relationship with your mother and sister will shift.Even if they don\u2019t say they believe you, you will better understand that it is too painful for them to admit it.Best of luck to you, and my hope is that your heart begins to heal itself.You are not alone on this journey.I recommend reading \u201cThe Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma\u201d by Bessel van der Kolk.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

distant and the dif?cult is deceptive.The great opportunity is where you are.\u201d At bridge, you try to play correctly where you are - at the present trick - but you also wish to improve your chances of winning later tricks.In today\u2019s deal from an online duplicate, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest heart three and East puts up the jack?South assumed that North had a decent hand for a ?rst-seat weak two at adverse vulnerability, but if he had inquired with two no-trump, North would have rebid three spades to show his feature and a maximum.If one diamond ?nesse was working, declarer could see at least 10 tricks via two spades, two hearts, ?ve diamonds and one club.Additionally, there were black-suit ?nesses available.South won the ?rst trick and ran the diamond six.East took that trick and returned the heart seven (high from a remaining doubleton).What did declarer do now?It was tempting to trust the mathematicians, who say that one diamond ?nesse will win 76% of the time.Then, by taking the third trick and running the diamonds, declarer might have been able to read the ending correctly and win a lot of tricks.But since there were no guarantees, South played low and took the third heart.Then when he played his last diamond and West discarded a spade, declarer was relieved.Later, South took a winning spade ?nesse to land the valuable overtrick anyway.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY

offering Ninja warrior-type training, urban parkour, interactive games and trampoline activities since 2018 at Motion Parc Évolutif, and will launchiits second location at the park.According to the press release, the Motion at Yamaska National Park will offer a simpli?ed version of its indoor installations with a series of balancing obstacles, structural blocks measuring 12 feet long and four lanes wide, 10- and 12-foot inclined walls, as well as an airbag at the end.Everything is con?gured in a dual formula (side by side) in order to be able to experience racing against an opponent if desired.The activity lasts 30 minutes with a small number of participants at the same time in order to respect the necessary distance and optimize the experience.Online booking is strongly recommended.The site will be open from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m.Users of Yamaska National Park will be able to pay for the activity in installments.\u201cThe issues of temperature and delivery times put us under a lot of stress.We were lucky to build most of the obstacles.Structures are made to go in the rain, but installing them is another story.Once again, I was able to count on a motivated and involved team,\u201d emphasized Patrick St-Laurent, co-owner of Motion Parc Évolutif.To reserve your tickets, visit https:// www.sepaq.com/pq/yam/.Yamaska National Park activities this summer By Taylor McClure Special to Brome County News The Sutton Volunteer Centre (CAB Sutton), whose services include Meals on Wheels, the food bank, community cafés, the collective kitchen, intergenerational activities, family services, and outreach work, was gifted the Olivet Church May 16 to carry out its community project Maison des générations-Olivet House.Looking to create a new space that will support the needs of CAB Sutton while also allowing it to expand its programs and services, the group is now launching a fundraising campaign to adapt the building to better serve the communities of Sutton and Abercorn.The total cost of the project is $750,000 and the goal of the fundraising campaign is to raise $70,000 within the local community.Its ?rst fundraising activity is Go Bare Foot for the CAB and collaborating with Laure Waridel, eco- sociologist and spokesperson for the project, CAB Sutton hopes to enter a new era.\u201cIt\u2019s a very old building and not at all adapted to hold a food bank, collective kitchen, family and senior services,\u201d said Janna Hubacek, director of CAB Sutton.\u201cWe need to universal access for washrooms and the doors.The overall cost of the project is $750,000.\u201d This includes professional fees, bringing the building up to code for a public building, and adding outdoor gardens.The group has already raised almost half of the $750,000 thanks to grants from various levels of government and different organizations.\u201cThat\u2019s why we chose to launch with the public now; people need to see it\u2019s a realistic project and that there\u2019s some support behind it.People already started giving and we are quite con?dent.\u201d The fundraising campaign will run from now to December with the goal of raising $70,000 in the local community with the help of CAB Sutton\u2019s appointed spokesperson Laure Waridel, whom Hubacek met at a conference over a year ago and immediately knew she was the right person for the role.Laure Waridel was instrumental in the buy-local movement and was one of the founding members of Équiterre.She has written several books and holds conferences on ecology and the importance of community.\u201cThat\u2019s where our paths crossed; building connections in the community and a lot of the projects we are doing is around food so there is that aspect as CAB Sutton seeks to make new

Bulletin Board By Louise Smith It seems that every week new unmarked graves, near closed residential schools across Canada, are being discovered.Indigenous people have long known that they existed and now the proof is being revealed.On Sunday, June 20, a large gathering of close to 50 people came together in the Cowansville Cemetery beside Emmanuel United Church in Cowansville.Many were wearing orange, the colour to recognize the atrocities committed against Indigenous Peoples in residential schools.A moving commemoration was held to honour the children who had been lost to residential schools and to honour the survivors of the system.Prior to the day, children\u2019s shoes had been collected and were on display outside of the church.After the ceremony, Susan Burnham took the shoes home and cleaned them and passed them on so that children could bene?t from the shoes.The ceremony opened with Honour Parent-Racine and her mom, Lise, both of Mohawk descent, performing a smudging.A smudging is the spreading of fragrant smoke from the burning of a mixture of grasses.With a feather Honour spread the smoke over people.It is a form of cleansing and opening up the spirit.Drumming was coordinated under the direction of Susan Reininger.Retired United Church Diaconal minister, Sally Meyer, wrote a lament for this day.Her lament was followed by 11 different readers, who read the names of 215 missing Indigenous children whose names were taken from the national Memorial Register.Names were chosen randomly from the register because the names of the children whose bodies were discovered are not known.Each set of names was followed by a verse of the hymn \u201cGod Weeps\u201d.For the ?nal verse, Rev.David Lefneski joined in on his viola.The gathering closed with more drumming and Honour presenting a candle which symbolized the Three Sisters who are corn, beans, and squash.This candle was given as a gift to Emmanuel United Church as a thanks for this acknowledgement and remembrance.On Canada Day the new Champlain Bridge was lit up in orange to pay homage to Indigenous Peoples.This year Canada Day has become a day of re?ection, but representatives of Indigenous Peoples across Canada are saying that this is also a time for people everywhere to encourage their political representatives to take action to improve the situation of Indigenous Peoples.For many years the quality of drinking water has been a fundamental issue in many communities.How to ?x the problem has been known, but the political will to follow through has not happened, likely because the Indigenous Peoples represent a small percentage of voters.Anyone who wishes to write to the Prime Minister or to their Member of Parliament can do so.The address is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 80 Wellington St., Ottawa, ON, K1A O2A.No postage stamp is required.Just write FREE or write OHMS (On Her Majesty\u2019s Service) in the spot where a stamp would usually be placed.A

JOE 1VO 450 243-5591 \u2022 www.santedentairelacbrome.ca info@santedentairelacbrome.ca By Michael Boriero The town of Sutton recently announced that the Goyette-Hill Park chalet will be off-limits to residents from June 28 to Aug.22, as the local day camp overtook the facility to accommodate 95 children on Monday.While the surrounding park area will be open to everyone, the town also placed tempo tents \u2014 giant, gazebo- like ?xtures \u2014 in the dek hockey rink.And they blocked off a two-hour period, between 1 p.m.and 3 p.m., at the public swimming pool for day camp users during the week.The sudden decision has left many residents, mainly parents with young children, disgruntled and confused by the lack of communication from the town\u2019s municipal council.Caitlin Levesque-Pegg said the facility was open last summer at the peak of the pandemic.\u201cIt\u2019s the fact that we don\u2019t have access to somewhere that is shaded to be able to change, so we\u2019re going to end up doing the towel in the corner and changing our kids outside from their wet bathing suits or vice versa,\u201d she said.Levesque-Pegg has a four-year-old daughter who enjoys swimming in the summer.She noticed a schedule change at the pool on Saturday.Levesque- Pegg expected to bring her daughter swimming at noon, but it was booked up for adults lap swim.The online schedule had not been updated at the time.And although she lives a short drive away from the pool, she decided to wait outside for an hour before entering the swimming area.There is no place to cool down, she said, or to escape the sun\u2019s glare.\u201cI understand that we need to accommodate other groups, so these kids from the day camp do need shade and I understand they need some space that is cool, but I just feel like there is a compromise that we could ?nd,\u201d said Levesque-Pegg.The Sutton mother was one of many residents to join a chorus of complaints on the Sutton Locals Facebook page.She told The Record that there needs to be a way to make the space available for everyone in the town.Last year, certain lockers were reserved for camp users.The chalet has bathrooms, lockers and changing rooms for boys and girls.It will be strictly off-limits to non- day camp users.Resident cannot use it even on weekends.There are two public bathrooms outside, according to Levesque-Pegg, but it is a small consolation.Jasmine Lynn has lived in Sutton her entire life, and this is the ?rst time she has seen the day camp take over the park.Normally, it is located at the Sutton School.However, the town has stated that the school is currently undergoing renovations.\u201cThe thing is I understand, sure, ?ne, if you are doing renovations, you know, the kids aren\u2019t allowed to be in the school, however, the ?eld in the back, you know, they are setting up tents in technically what I feel is an area where they shouldn\u2019t be,\u201d said Lynn.Lynn has a three-year-old nephew, and she often takes him to the dek hockey rink.But she won\u2019t be able to do that this summer.Lynn said she brings her nephew to the park at least twice a week during the day.She believes the town should have consulted its residents.\u201cIt was kind of shifty how they went about it because I\u2019m sure that if they would have put out a call to the town\u2019s people [\u2026] I absolutely know it would have gone a lot differently, a lot more people would have protested it,\u201d said Lynn.She doesn\u2019t know how to break the news to her nephew.And although the pool is open on weekends, free swim is from 1 p.m.to 6:30 p.m., she told The Record that residents typically avoid going out on Saturday and Sunday due to the massive amount of visitors.According to Sutton Mayor Michel Lafrance, the decision was mostly based on the current pandemic situation, but also the lack of resources.They have struggled to hire staff members at the swimming pool.And the dek rink was the best option for the tempo tents.\u201cWell, there comes a point where we were elected to make decisions, so if you start consulting everybody then you accumulate delays, and so we had to act very promptly to make sure we got our camp off the ground on proper footing so we made the decision,\u201d said Lafrance.It is never black and white, he continued, adding that the town council will never be able to please everybody in this type of situation.But he ?rmly believes that this was the best decision for Sutton.The pool, for example, is limited to camp users for two hours to respect ratios.There were three options for the tempo tents: the skate park, tennis courts and the dek hockey rink.They chose to use the rink because the skate park turned out to be too small, and they deemed the tennis courts would be too dangerous for the children.He also addressed what he called \u201caggressive comments\u201d on Facebook direct towards the town\u2019s council.Lafrance is trying to keep the morale up in the town.He believes the comments were unwarranted and lacked research, so he decided to stand up for his colleagues.\u201cPublic of?cers are an easy target because they can\u2019t respond and I felt as an elected of?cial I had to speak for them.We don\u2019t need this at this time of year, so I had to defend our rights [\u2026] to make sure to let people know to be more tolerant,\u201d said Lafrance.Sutton municipal park restrictions frustrate residents PHOTOS COURTESY well,\u201d Hubacek said.To raise the $70,000 that is needed, CAB Sutton will be doing different fundraising activities throughout the rest of this year.Its ?rst fundraising activity is an online social media initiative called Go Bare Foot for the CAB with a set goal of $15,000.It will take place for the month of July.\u201cIt\u2019s a peer-to- peer campaign chosen to symbolize vulnerability in people and in organizations as well, because this project was also brought about by the fact that we needed to ?nd a new home, by bare feet.We are sending out the message to people that no matter their background, sex, or religion, deep down we are vulnerable and we all need extra support sometimes.In this case, CAB Sutton needs help from the community to help others.We ask people to take a sel?e barefoot with the hashtag #GoBarefootfortheCAB and to nominate friends to take on the challenge.\u201d The Go Bare Foot for the CAB fundraising activity has already gained many ambassadors and it is expected to gain even more to help spread the work.\u201cAmbassadors not only make a donation themselves, but give themselves an amount that they will raise in the community and that\u2019s where it becomes a peer-to-peer campaign.We have 15 to 20 people from the community, businesses, as well as the Anglican Grace Church that just joined us and the minister.They set themselves an objective to help us obtain our objective.\u201d Through its various fundraising initiatives, CAB Sutton hopes to better support the needs of its community members.\u201cEssentially, the present infrastructure we have access to has reached its maximum potential.This new space will really allow us to have more

in Knowlton.All proceeds from the sale will go towards the 2021 Women\u2019s Cancer Walk.The Women\u2019s Cancer Walk has raised thousands of dollars to directly buy equipment for the BMP Hospital over the years.The number of participants and the money raised has increased annually.This garage sale is a way to start the fundraising for the fall event.Last year the walk was held virtually with small groups walking across the region.Hopefully this year the in- person walk can occur.Anyone who wishes to donate items for the sale can drop them off at the addresses listed above on Saturday, July 10, from 9 a.m.to noon.For more information go to www.YVOC.ca.Donations needed for Yamaska Valley Optimist Club garage sale Along with many others, I was surprised to learn, just two days before our national day on July 1, that the Town of Brome Lake had cancelled its Canada Day festivities.This decision raises a number of questions: ?rst, on what basis this decision was made, and second, whether or not it was a good decision.Was this cancellation a result of some form of public pressure?Or widespread demands from a large number of residents?Or did the Town itself initiate some form of general public consultation?Was a formal resolution adopted at a special meeting of the municipal council?If so, were residents informed of such a meeting, as is the usual practice?If not, under what authority were the Canada Day festivities cancelled?As to whether or nor the decision was the best thing to do, there can of course be various opinions.I have no doubt that there were well-intentioned reasons for such a decision, namely, in the words of the Town\u2019s June 29 news release, \u201cin the wake of the tragic events of the past few weeks affecting Indigenous peoples, this is a time for re?ection and education, so that we can demonstrate our solidarity with Aboriginal peoples\u201d.But it is very dif?cult to understand how the cancellation of our very popular Canada Day festivities demonstrates anything of the kind.On the contrary, it appears to many of us to be another example of the pointless virtue-signalling that is so prevalent these days.It accomplished nothing concrete, while it disappointed hundreds of Town of Brome Lake residents \u2013 especially children.It provided no truth, no reconciliation, no reparations, no offer to return any stolen lands, no ?nancial contribution to indigenous reserves, nothing tangible of any kind.Rather than simply cancel our marvellous Canada Day festivities, the Town could have accompanied these festivities with something meaningful, something that would actually be of some help to our Aboriginal peoples, such as a fundraising campaign, a demonstration at the of?ce of our member of parliament, or a public information session on Zoom.The municipality of Hatley did not cancel its Canada Day festivities to demonstrate its solidarity with Aboriginal peoples.As far as I know, nobody suggested that any celebrations of la Fête Nationale, formerly known as Saint-Jean Baptiste Day, should be cancelled to demonstrate solidarity with Aboriginal peoples.La Fête Nationale was celebrated throughout Quebec as enthusiastically as ever, given the restrictions of the pandemic.Despite the obvious imperfections of every nation, no other country in the world cancels the observance of its national day because of its historical failures.We should not fall into the currently fashionable trap of denigrating our country at every turn, highlighting only our mistakes, and ignoring our great accomplishments.Canada is still the best country in the world, and Canadians are the most fortunate people in the world.We must never fail to celebrate those facts.None of us, I venture to say, would exchange this country for any other country on earth.We should never be ashamed of expressing our pride in Canada.A better approach might have been to hold our Canada Day festivities as usual, and to use the occasion for a public moment of re?ection, as we do each year on Remembrance Day.A speech by the mayor on such a well- attended occasion, accompanied by a speci?c project to actually assist Canada\u2019s Aboriginal peoples in some material way, would, it seems to me, have been far more effective, and more acceptable to the patriotic residents of our wonderful town.Submitted by Peter White Knowlton Why did the Town of Brome Lake cancel its Canada Day festivities?By Louise Smith A month ago, the odds that the Canadiens would be in the Stanley Cup Final Playoffs were low.Even though, at the time of this writing, the Canadiens are down by three games, the hockey games have been exciting.Across the region evidence of support for the team is wide spread.Car banners are out of stock in many stores.Some cars have one banner, while others have two, three, and sometimes four banners ?apping from windows.In Sutton, outside the Café de Village Cantons de l\u2019Est, on Principale Street, a huge Canadiens ?ag is on display.During the games, when the Canadiens score, joyous sounds reverberate from households and terasses.Groans also are transmitted when the Tampa Bay Lightning team does the scoring.It seems that this series has become a community event!

in my busiest year I made 25 pieces.\u201d Cast glass involves a long cooling process.\u201cYou have to cool the piece off very slowly.Usually three to four weeks depending on how large and how intricate the piece is.The more complex the piece, the longer it takes to cool down.\u201d James explained that if there is too much difference in temperature between the centre of the mold and the outside touching the mold, it can cause cracks.Fifteen pieces of his work, including never before seen pieces from his private collection, and Portal, the most valuable piece of cast glass created by a Canadian artist, will be exhibited at Arts Sutton from July 22 to Sept.5.\u201cIt\u2019s a survey of a range of my pieces created with materials and different styles.It\u2019s a selection of works trying to represent samples of my body of work over time.\u201d He will present various techniques, like clear colored glass, and works made from granite.\u201cI turned to granite and incorporate stainless steel spheres in my granite work.\u201d The goal with James\u2019 exhibition is to introduce people to an art form that is rarely seen.\u201cIt\u2019s a rare opportunity in the province for an up and coming artist to gain some experience, to gain some attention in the gallery world, and to gain con?dence in front of public.It\u2019s a re?ection of the vitality all of the community.\u201d Arts Sutton celebrates 40 years of creativity BCN Staff The Relève en urbanisme (RU) of the Ordre des urbanistes du Québec released their 2020 compilation of innovative urban planning projects and the MRC of Brome-Missisquoi\u2019s Housing Toolbox was one of the eight projects selected.This compilation aims to promote good practices across the province and inspire urban planning professionals to innovate in their ?eld.As outlined in the press release, the main objective of the Housing Toolbox for Dynamic and Innovative Living Environments is to offer support in terms of territorial d e v e l o p m e n t and to aid m u n i c i p a l i t i e s in the implementation of effective housing means and strategies, while respecting differences.This dynamic and informative tool is comprised of two parts: to invite municipalities to adopt a housing strategy using a six-step process and to propose inspiring and innovative ideas, examples of partnerships, case studies from here and elsewhere.This guide also offers a series of resources to support municipalities in matters of citizen consultation, adapted densi?cation, ?nancing and access to housing.The 2020 theme of the compilation, the levers for the reorganization of a city, consisted in highlighting the projects which have temporarily or permanently transformed the procedures, the territory or even pushed back the barriers to meet local challenges.The MRC guide was highlighted because it is an unprecedented project which, among other things, puts the population at the heart of the process.\u201cThis tool is all the more relevant as it now offers the support that may often be lacking in certain municipalities having to deal with migratory ?ows,\u201d mentioned the selection committee.Consult the Housing Toolbox for Dynamic and Innovative Living Environments, available in French only, to learn more about the project at https://mrcbm.qc.ca/common/ documentsContenu/MRC_BM_Guide_ FINAL_web.pdf.Brome-Missisquoi\u2019s Housing Toolbox highlighted for its innovation in urban planning projects PHOTOS: ANDRÉ CORNELIER Tranquility, blue Pnnacle PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW BromeCountyNews Tuesday, July 6, 2021 Page 7 h e Brome County News local news every Tuesday Your Community\u2026 Your Family\u2026 Your Interests\u2026 Yo ur Home\u2026 It\u2019s all a part of your l ocal newspaper!

its new giant zipline over the weekend making it the longest zipline in the Eastern Townships and one of the most impressive in the province.In addition to mountain biking, hiking, chairlift rides and camping at the summit, the giant zipline will establish Mont SUTTON as a four-season outdoor destination in the Eastern Townships, in Quebec and in Eastern North America.\u201cThe objective with this giant zipline project is to position Mont SUTTON even more as a ?rst class four season\u2019s destination.We are really proud of this achievement.It is a new milestone in the execution of our strategic development plan that will not only consolidate and annualize existing jobs, but also create more than 20 new ones at the mountain.This new activity will increase the tourist offer and favour more overnight stays in the region and for Sutton as a destination,\u201d stated Jean-Michel Ryan, President and General Manager of Mont SUTTON, in a press release.Building the longest zipline in the region with one of the steepest inclines in Quebec was a major undertaking that lasted almost eight months.By the fall of 2020, designers and employees were already hard at work putting in place the foundations for the start, mid-station and ?nish towers.This spring, as soon as the snow melted, the work began anew.Several hours of manpower and several helicopter hauls were required to complete this major project.Tons of beams and zipline material were transported from the foot of the mountain to two of the tower locations.All of this was done with respect for the environment, minimizing the impact on the mountain\u2019s appearance.The only one of its kind in Quebec, it will be distinct with its steep incline, and kilometre-long course and infrastructure designed to harmonize with the mountain\u2019s natural surroundings.This major project will allow thrill seekers to careen down the mountain in a different way.The adventure will start with a chairlift ride to the altitude of 680m.Once at this summit, one will be able to enjoy the magni?cent view of the Eastern Townships landscape.Then, after this moment of contemplation, one can move on to the action from the top of the zipline\u2019s impressive launching tower.This ?rst section of the new giant zipline is one kilometre long, offering a breathtaking incline and view.After this long descent through the canopy, another 400m descent on a second zipline, heads back to the base of the mountain.Once this second section is completed, adrenaline seekers will have covered a total of 1400m of travel through the air.Reservations can be made via the Mont SUTTON website and are strongly recommended, as availability can become scarce very quickly.All details and reservations at: montsutton.com/ zipline.BCN Staff In support of the Town of Brome Lake\u2019s initiative to improve local road network, Isabelle Charest, MNA for Brome-Missiquoi, announced that provincial government is granting the municipality ?nancial assistance of $849,556.According to the press release, this funds, from the Programme d\u2019aide à la voirie locale (PAVL) du ministère des Transports, will be used for the Johnston Road rehabilitation project, a gravel road that 6.1 km long, as well replacing culverts.The PAVL program was completely revised in February, 2021 and there are now additional components to meet new needs as well as the implementation of best management practices for some of them, such as calls for projects and selection criteria.In addition, the terms and conditions have been standardized, the requirements simpli?ed, administrative procedures, and better support is now offered to eligible organizations, especially to less well-off municipalities.\u201cWe warmly welcome this government ?nancial support, which will allow us to continue the long work aimed at refreshing our infrastructure and our road network.Our citizens will derive very concrete bene?ts,\u201d said Richard Burcombe,

received a letter from someone claiming to be a long lost relative?I am willing to bet that your irst reaction would be to assume that someone was trying to pull the wool over your eyes.In this column, we turn our attention to one of the most fascinating episodes in the life of Paul Holland Knowlton to explore why that initial defensive reaction might not be the best course of action.In the late 1830s, Paul Holland Knowlton was just about to enter the busiest period of his life.He had left his log cabin on the shores of Brome Lake to dedicate himself to the development of what would become the heart of Knowlton and had accepted to sit on the Special Council that governed Lower Canada after the rebellions of 1837-38.The latter won him tremendous praise in British newspapers and that praise set off the most interesting sequence of events in Knowlton\u2019s life.Sometime in early 1838, he received a letter from a certain Sarah Knowlton of Darley House in Derbyshire, England who claimed to be related to him.She was not wrong but erroneously considered Paul Holland Knowlton a descendant of her grandfather\u2019s brother when in fact their shared ancestor was further removed.While the Brome County Historical Society archives, that hold most of Paul Holland Knowlton\u2019s correspondence, do not contain Paul Holland\u2019s replies to Sarah, we know he wrote back many times.Sarah Knowlton is herself an intriguing historical igure, but a full biography is beyond the scope of this column.Sufice to say here that although she was known for her tremendous beauty, she never married and spent the later years of her life with her brother Thomas\u2014who was incidentally the only man to successfully cultivate pineapples in England according to one biographer\u2014and her many cats.The tone of their correspondence is dificult to pin down.Sarah repeatedly lamented that Paul Holland\u2019s letters were \u201cfew and far between\u201d and threatened to end their correspondence but never followed through on her threat.Similarly, while she constantly warned he would be terribly disappointed in her looks, she regularly pressed him to come and visit her\u2014something he seemingly did around 1844.Regardless, their relationship lasted until Sarah\u2019s death in March 1845 at which point one of Sarah\u2019s conidants wrote to Paul Holland informing him that she had left him Darley House and all her \u201cmoveable property\u201d.It is unclear whether Paul Holland knew prior to her death he had been named her primary heir, but Sarah had declared him a \u201ctrue Knowlton\u201d in 1843 and informed him in another letter written after his visit to her that she had rewritten her will and that she was \u201ccomparatively happy but would be more if I had you nearer to me\u201d.Paul Holland returned to Derbyshire to settle her estate as reveals a list, written in his own hand, detailing all the items shipped to Lower Canada from Darley House.Although the fate of Darley House is unclear, one can only assume Paul Holland sold it.All told, he left England with just over £3,800 (approximately $700,000 in today\u2019s money) and another £1,000 worth of china, furniture, books, natural history specimens, and other assorted objects including a beautiful portrait of Sarah Knowlton by Ramsay Richard Reinagle.In Canada, the portrait hung for many years at Darley Place, the house built by Paul Holland for HIS adopted daughter and named after the Derbyshire estate.The Reinagle portrait of Sarah Knowlton had since passed into the care of the Brome County Historical Society where it remains on display in the Old County Courthouse.The next time you walk by, consider stopping in and asking Sarah Knowlton to send you a
