experienced by seniors in various communities.For the last few months, an active \u201cActs of Love\u201d group of volunteers has joined forces with the Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) Senior Services \u201cVIGILE\u201d program to extend loving acts toward seniors in the Potton area.The most recent initiative was an effort made in June by the combined groups to deliver plants as a gesture to lift the spirits and bring some beauty during the summer months to seniors either living alone or those 85 and over living in Potton.Approximately seven volunteers plus the two CABMN Senior Services staff delivered to 109 of the 115 seniors identi?ed in the above categories.Nine routes were mapped out and SAPA staff and volunteers drove to the homes of the seniors to spread some cheer.\u201cWe found many of those we delivered to out working in their own gardens,\u201d shared Monique Gilbert, CABMN Coordinator of SAPA Senior Services.\u201cWe took the opportunity to deliver a beautiful plant along with information pamphlets about the CABMN services for seniors and another on the Prevention of Fraudulent Acts,\u201d she added.The volunteers who delivered the plants and pamphlets were happy with their experience and enjoyed connecting with Potton seniors as well as the opportunity to brighten someone\u2019s day.The experiences also lead to the recruitment of two new CABMN volunteers, Suzanne Cote and Louise Boileau, both of whom took part in the deliveries.Throughout the pandemic, the CABMN has strived to ?nd ways to maintain strengthen and adjust seniors programs to continue to remain an important part of the lives of seniors living in the western sector of the Memphremagog MRC.\u201cThe Acts of Love group connected with our organization at the perfect time,\u201d shared Angelle Laplume, SAPA senior services team member for the CABMN for over 25 years.\u201cActs of Love is a compliment to our already abundant services and the volunteers added to our senior services support through this initiative have been extremely positive.\u201d The Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre has a variety of senior services and programs lined up for the fall and the coming year promises to continue to emphasize meeting the needs of seniors and improving services while maintaining a personal connection.If you would like more information about the CABMN Senior Services or for information on anyt of the many services provided to a diverse clientele visit: www.cabmn.org .The CABMN encourages all to sign up for the weekly electronic newsletter to

d\u2019action populaire en réaménagement urbain (FRAPRU), a national organization that ights for the right to housing and promotes social rights, there are 244,120 Quebecers suffering from a precarious living situation.Sherbrooke housing groups demand national public inquiry By Michael Boriero The Association des locataires de Sherbrooke (ALS) and Projet Appart have called on the next federal government to hold a public inquiry into the housing crisis across Canada.According to Projet Appart spokesperson Samantha Watson, there are still 40 people in Sherbrooke that are either homeless or temporarily displaced since July 1.They are handcuffed by landlords imposing strict rules, and soaring rent prices.\u201cMost of the time if you go on Kijiji for Sherbrooke, you can see the apartments, you can get a loft for $1,000 each month, it\u2019s too expensive.You can easily imagine a ?ve and half it will be more expensive than $1,000 each month,\u201d said Watson.There are 13 large families in the mix, too, she added, and many landlords are refusing to accept children in their buildings.The city of Sherbrooke has attempted to accommodate low-income families by building habitation à loyer modéré (HLM).HLMs are low-income housing units.However, the city\u2019s efforts have been slowed down by time-consuming bureaucratic procedures.The funding has not been authorized by the Quebec government, she explained, so Sherbrooke has not been able to start to the project.\u201cThey bought an old church because they wanted to build apartments, but it\u2019s not done.They were supposed to build an HLM three years ago, but it has not been started,\u201d said Watson.She told The Record that this was one of the worst years for families seeking low-income rentals.There were 70 people left without a home by the end of June.Projet Appart, in collaboration with ALS, managed to ?nd housing for 30 tenants.The rest, though, have been placed in a temporary hotel provided by the municipal council.The families were supposed to leave those rooms on Saturday, but one of Sherbrooke\u2019s elected of?cials decided to extend their stay until Aug.15.While this is a generous gesture, she said, it is unlikely that these 40 people will ?nd suitable, affordable, and liveable housing by the end date provided by the council.If they can\u2019t ?nd anything, Watson told The Record that these families will end up on the street.\u201cThey are stressed right now, and school is starting soon, on Aug.26 [\u2026] and they can\u2019t ?nd an apartment, they are too expensive, or we don\u2019t have apartments for them, so it\u2019s very stressful, they are getting anxious, they are crying, it\u2019s very hard for them,\u201d Watson said.According to the Front d\u2019action populaire en réaménagement urbain (FRAPRU), a national organization that ?ghts for the right to housing and promotes social rights, there are 244,120 Quebecers suffering from a precarious living situation.FRAPRU has voiced its concerns about the government\u2019s promises to invest in social housing.The organization also slammed Quebec\u2019s program to create 500 new units in four years.They claim that it is not nearly enough to provide a roof over everyone\u2019s head.FRAPRU has demanded that the government build 50,000 social housing units over ?ve years.And they suggest that the best way to do this is through the socialization of the rental housing stock.Projet Appart has been preaching the same message for years.The group has been helping people ?nd affordable housing for roughly three years.And in that time, Watson has seen a signi?cant jump in tenants stuck in a vulnerable situation.The number of residents seeking aid has more than tripled since 2019.\u201cThe idea is that we want solutions, this is why we want a public inquiry.One of the solutions is to socialize the rental housing stock, to socialize housing, create more budgets for HLMs, and to create larger spaces for families,\u201d said Watson.New businesses rolling into Ayer\u2019s Cliff By Arianna Myers Special to The Record The quaint village of Ayer\u2019s Cliff is seeing a positive trend: a number of new businesses are opening up in the centre of town.Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, for two years now, the Ayer\u2019s Cliff Rodeo and the Ayer\u2019s Cliff Fair have been cancelled \u2013 major annual events that usually draw thousands of tourists to the small town \u2013 dealing a major blow to many of the local businesses.Nevertheless, the pandemic\u2019s impacts are seemingly temporary and this summer, the streets of Ayer\u2019s Cliff have been ?lling up with a few new businesses.Two of the new businesses include a beauty salon and a quilting boutique and workshop.On Wednesday, July 28, KDM & Cie.celebrated the grand opening of their second beauty lab, and their ?rst in Ayer\u2019s Cliff.Offering numerous services such as hairdressing and haircare, complete and personalized makeovers, manicures and pedicures, and other cosmetic procedures, KDM & Cie.has ?lled a need in the local community.The new beauty lab, which doubles as a boutique, also offers its clients a wide variety of skin, hair, nail, and makeup products.Just one door down, and one day later, Lily Atelier Boutique also opened its doors to the local community.At Lily Atelier Boutique, proprietor Lily Legault Murphy curates a wonderful assortment of quilted products, handmade mostly by herself and other talented local artisans.Legault Murphy has been dreaming of opening up her own boutique in Ayer\u2019s Cliff since she returned from the Middle East nearly four years ago.\u201cI\u2019ve been sewing all my life, but my passion for quilting started while I was living in Dubai,\u201d shared Legault Murphy.\u201cWhile in Dubai, I became part of an international group of quilters that was made up of around 100 people from 40 different countries.\u201d Therefore, according to Legault Murphy, when the opportunity came to buy the building in the centre of town this year, her dream quickly became a reality with the launch of Lily Atelier Boutique.Moreover, COVID-19 lockdowns that con?ned city dwellers in restrictive urban spaces for months at a time have also seemed to make the small- town lifestyle extra appealing this year.Therefore, small towns, such as Ayer\u2019s Cliff, are seeing an increase of new residents who are now seeking a slow living lifestyle.To accommodate new residents in Ayer\u2019s Cliff, earlier this summer, an old building that had been sitting empty on Main Street for years was renovated and restored into a modern, multi-unit apartment complex.Therefore, if you are thinking of opening up a new business in a small town, or moving from the bustling city to a smaller community, then the charming village of Ayer\u2019s Cliff is the place to be this year.ARIANNA MYERS Lily Legault Murphy, owner of Lily Atelier Boutique in Ayer\u2019s Cliff.PRINTED

QCNA RECORD THE With a few strokes of politicians\u2019 pens, belugas, birds and a whole range of other aquatic life living in and around two of Quebec\u2019s major waterways can now breathe a little bit easier.Those strokes were rendered by the federal Minister of Environment John Wilkinson in June, tanking the $775 million Laurentia container terminal project in Quebec City, followed quickly by Quebec Environment Minister Benoit Charest\u2019s spiking of the $17 billion liqui?ed natural gas (LNG) terminal planned for up the Saguenay fjord.The rejection of both these major projects, essentially because of their potential negative environmental impact, means, among many other things, there will be somewhat less shipping traf?c added to the ever- increasing volume in the Saguenay fjord and particularly the St.Lawrence River.The LNG plan involved tankers loaded with frozen and pressurized natural gas plying the Saguenay to transport the fuel to far ?ung parts of the planet.The gas would have been pipelined into the terminal from fracking operations in Alberta and B.C.The Énergie Saguenay plant, according to Charest, failed the test of lowering greenhouse gas emissions and helping the transition to greener forms of energy.It also required adequate public support, which it didn\u2019t appear to have judging by the mobilized opposition.While the promoters of the project say they were surprised and disappointed by the Legault government\u2019s decision, particularly since it initially supported the scheme, it\u2019s possible they may spare a very private thought that they have been unwittingly saved from ?nancial disaster.The current global picture for the natural gas market sees huge surpluses in the face of stagnant demand, and with a bunch of new LNG plants in the works in places like Russia, Qatar and Australia, all of which are closer to completion and to the promising Asian market than Quebec\u2019s.The Oracle of Omaha, legendary investor Warren Buffett, saw the LNG future and yanked his support and money from the Saguenay project a year ago.As for Laurentia, a humongous hub of loud and dusty activity being located literally across the fence from Quebec City\u2019s only of?cial riverside beach was not exactly good optics for the project.The expected soaring traf?c of trucks and trains into the site was unappealing enough, but the added parade of giant container ships plowing through ?sh and birds going to and from the terminal, mostly for the bene?t of Chinese shipping interests, virtually guaranteed Laurentia was dead in the water politically.The greener-than- thou Liberals were never going to let it happen in a city where they covet a few seats towards a majority.If you needed a glimpse of what the future might have been with Laurentia built in Quebec\u2019s port, check out MCS Melissa, the largest ship to ever sail the St.Lawrence, that docked in Montreal a few weeks ago.The 304-metre long \u201cpost- Panamax\u201d class vessel is just the kind of ocean-going beast Laurentia hoped to attract to its deep-water terminal.The rejection of Énergie Saguenay and Laurentia, despite the loss of a smattering of jobs, would not seem to be crippling blows to the economies of either region.Neither scheme could be considered essential weighed against the potential harm to the already fragile environment in these areas.The question does arise, though, as to just what kind of big time project would pass the environmental test these days.One is left in awe, for example, of the audacity of the St.Lawrence Seaway project.When I was a kid we used to visit cousins in Cornwall, Ontario, and marvel at the vestiges of towns in the area ?ooded to raise the water level of the river.On July 1, 1958, a holding dam was exploded to release the water, which in the space of three days erased 500 homes in nine villages where 6,500 had lived.Most of that ?ooded territory, naturally, would have been the traditional home of Indigenous people.There is no question the Seaway was a game-changer for the economies of Canada and the United States, serving an area which collectively has a GDP larger than most nations of the world.Could the St.Lawrence Seaway get built today?Who knows?But luckily for its proponents they got it done before people started to give a hoot about the environment.Nixed gas and shipping projects give river dwellers a little relief Why I Love The Record We recently asked readers why they enjoy reading the paper every day.Here is what they had to say: Letters DEAR EDITOR : I\u2019m sending in

Gérard Coté (Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society) and Jean-Marie Dubois (Université de Sherbrooke) A street named for Nicolas Scheib was opened in 2012 in the North part of Sherbrooke.It was to be the beginning of a place names system for local long standing immigrant families.A second one was opened in 2017: Ralph-Steinman Street.But a new promoter came along and prevailed in having the place names system changed for one on Quebec artists, even though serveral other names had already been decided upon for different immigrants and simply returned tot he bank of future names.Nicolas Joseph Scheib was born in 1889, in Beirut, Lebanon.Wanting to escape from both the political turmoil of the Ottoman empire with their stranglehold on the territory of present-day Lebanon, and from the possibility of being a conscript in the Turkish army, he decided to come and join his sister Victoria who lived with her spouse Constantin Berberi in Saint- Georges-de-Beauce.In 1916, Nicolas settled in Sherbrooke where he rented a commercial spot at the corner of King Ouest and Alexandre streets.Her specialised in men\u2019s and boys\u2019 wear and also in footwear for the whole family.The building is presently the location of L\u2019Empreinte cafe.In 1920, he moved his store to 83 King Street Ouest where he stayed until 1989.It is now the location of Le Tapageur bar- restaurant.In 1922, Nicolas obtained his Canadian citizenship.In March 1930, he went back to Lebanon to marry Odette Rabbath (1908-1974) and returned to Sherbrooke with her.They had four boys: Vitol (1931-1991), Renaud (1933-2021), Lloyd (1938-2014) and Donald (1945-1991).Before being married, Nicolas lived above his shops.He started living in 1931 in a rented apartment at 17, Wolfe Street (now Belvédère Nord), in the former home of Mayor Hubert C.Cabana that was burnt down in 2004.In 1935, he bought a house better suited for his family on Wellington Sud Street, a house that was torn down in 1987 to make place for a new commercial building of Le Service de l\u2019Estrie (now Les Spécialistes de l\u2019Électroménager).Like many other well known Sherbrookers, he also had from1938 to 1970 a cottage in Deauville on what is now des Riverains Street.During 44 years, Nicolas went to his store at 7 a.m.and, on Fridays and Saturdays, often stayed until 11 p.m.to serve his customers.Nicolas retired in 1960 and handed over his business to his two sons, Renaud and Lloyd.He died in Sherbrooke in 1975 and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery with his wife and two of his sons, Vitol and Donald.Renaud continued his father\u2019s business after his death.As a matter of fact, after he had got his B.Ain 1954 from Bishop\u2019s University, he had helped out his father a clerk in the store and later as manager, while living with his parents.Vitol, had also helped out in the store from about 1948 to 1955 before going to live in Montréal.In 1965, in Ville Saint-Laurent, Renaud married Eva Duruncza- Lublinski, who came from Warsaw.They had three children: Joanna, James and Nicholas.As for Lloyd, he worked in the family business from 1955 to 1960 and was co-owner with Renaud from 1960 to 1963.He then went on to manage regional newspapers and radio stations and started different companies until he retired in 2011.In 1961, he had married Paulette Couture in Sherbrooke\u2019s St.Patrick\u2019s Church.They had two daughters: Lynda-Gayle and Lysa-Gyna.Lloyd divorced in 1987 and in 2012, he married Lyse Emond in Sherbrooke.She had been his partner since 1994.COURTESY OF

trust an opponent By Phillip Alder J.K.Rowling, in \u201cHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,\u201d wrote, \u201cNever trust anything that can think for itself if you can\u2019t see where it keeps its brain.\u201d At least a bridge player knows where his opponent\u2019s brain is kept.The difference comes in how ef?ciently it works at the game.The better it is, the more it can be trusted.(If you do not trust your partner, get a new one immediately - do not wait another trick!) However, when you are the declarer, you must be wary of the defenders.Sometimes, though, they can be trusted to supply the right clue.North\u2019s three-heart rebid showed a game-invitational hand (eight losers) with three-card support.Against four hearts, West guessed well to start with his singleton diamond.(It is rarely best to lead a suit bid by an opponent.) East, after winning with his ace, returned the diamond eight, a suit-preference signal for spades.So, West ruffed and shifted to the spade three.East took dummy\u2019s queen with his ace and returned the spade 10 to dummy\u2019s king.Declarer played a heart to his ace ad cashed the heart king, groaning when West discarded: down one.\u201cSorry, partner,\u201d said South.\u201cI mis- guessed.\u201d \u201cNo, you didn\u2019t,\u201d replied North.\u201cYou mistrusted.First, probably West wouldn\u2019t lead a singleton with queen- third of hearts.But more important is that if West had the heart queen, East would have led another diamond when in with the spade ace, aiming for a trump promotion.When he returned a spade, East could be trusted to have the trump queen.\u201d PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 10 Monday, August 2, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Go grocery sho pping with diet itians.When you choo se products with the Health Chec k symbol, it's like shopping with t he Heart and Str oke Foundation\u2019s die titians, who eval uate every partic ipating product b ased on Canada 's Food Guide.www.healthche ck.org REALITY CHECK HERMAN ALLEY OOP ARLO & JANIS THE BORN LOSER FRANK AND ERNEST GRIZZWELLS THATABABY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, August 2, 2021 Page 11 Call Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: classad@sherbrookerecord.com or Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 a.m.and noon CLASSIFIED Deadline: 12:30 p.m.one day prior to publication Or mail your prepaid classi?ed ads to The Record, 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 275 Antiques WE BUY from the past for the future, one item or a household, attic or basement, shed or garage.We like it all, give us a call.819-837-2680.145 Miscellaneous Services 125 Job Services Support the local businesses, services & professionals who serve our area where you live, work and play!

The administrators even sent instructions on how to give him a bath using Epsom salt for the wound.They know that we are both professionals with advanced degrees, yet they treat us like nimrods.- Capable With a Cub Dear Capable: Unless the school addressed the note home to \u201cMr.and Mrs.Nimrod,\u201d you\u2019re jumping to conclusions.I guarantee that the administrators were just trying to help.Your son really shouldn\u2019t wear shoes that are disintegrating - no matter what he \u201cprefers.\u201d A 10-year-old might prefer to eat pizza rolls three meals a day and play Xbox all night; that doesn\u2019t mean you let him.We make concessions where we can as parents, but some matters aren\u2019t up for debate.Make your son wear the new shoes, no matter how much whining follows.(I know, I know.Easier said than done.) Sometimes cubs need tough love.Dear Annie: My brother-in-law keeps borrowing money, and my husband just can\u2019t say no to his big brother.This wouldn\u2019t be a problem if we were Rockefellers.We\u2019re not.We both work full time.We have kids of our own to put through school.We are barely scraping by and even have debt.We\u2019re just not in ta position to lend money.Larry, my brother-in-law, seems to have a new career every year.This year, he\u2019s trying to get his real estate license.Last year, he started an online store, which never took off.In the past, he\u2019s tried photography and painting.It\u2019s hard to watch him fail, and I would feel sorry for him if I weren\u2019t so ticked off that he\u2019s ?ushed thousands of our dollars down the drain along with each of these new enterprises.And now I ?nd out that behind my back, my husband co-signed a loan, which his brother defaulted on, and we had to take out a second mortgage on the house to pay it.How can I get my husband to stop giving him money?How can I stop resenting both my brother-in- law and his wife for this?- Broke and Bitter Dear Broke: You\u2019re right.He\u2019s wrong.But you probably married him because you fell in love with his generous disposition and his desire and willingness to help others in need - qualities at play here.Recognize that big heart of his while also telling him it\u2019s unacceptable to make such decisions behind your back.Tell him that his continuing to do so would be a betrayal of your trust.Encourage him to support his brother in ways that have no bearing on your ?nances.He could help Larry work out a budget or set realistic career goals.In the long run, that kind of aid is better than simply handing him a check whenever he\u2019s in a pinch.Teach a man to ?sh.Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.To ?nd out more about Annie Lane and read features by other Creators Syndicate columnists and cartoonists, visit the Creators Syndicate website at www.creators.com.L E N N O X V I L L E P L U M B I N G .Domestic repairs AnD wAtEr rEinErs.Call Norman Walker at 819- 563-1491.SERVICES TLH.I have over 18 years of experience as a caregiver taking care of elderly, people living with a disability, young children.Able to provide: meal preparations, house cleaning, personal care, respite care and transportation to a appointment.Trustworthy, reliable, and responsible.Rates depend on service.In North Hatley area.By phone number: 8 1 9 - 5 7 1 - 8 9 1 8 , email address: Babygirl.64@hot- mail.com PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 12 Monday, August 2, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Do Just One Thing By Danny Seo If you feel you can no longer keep a gold?sh in your ?sh tank at home, please think twice before releasing it into the wild.As beautiful as they are, gold?sh are an invasive species that can wreak havoc in lakes and ponds.Recent reports have found giant gold?sh that are not only thriving in these aquatic habitats but are destroying them.Rather than releasing it, take care of your gold?sh, let it live out its natural life in your aquarium, and consider not buying another one in the future.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 "]
