GORDON LAMBIE By Gordon Lambie Just alongside North Road in the municipality of Austin is Shappie Trough Park, which appears at ?rst glance to be just a roadside picnic spot with a small plaque about local history.Just a few steps into the forest from there, however, is a hidden treasure that Lisette Maillé, the Mayor of Austin, says she hopes will soon attract families from across the region: the Trail of Children\u2019s Rights.Austin\u2019s trail is one of several similar but distinct pathways around the world and one of only two recognized at this point in North America.The local version highlights ?ve of the rights outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: the right to play, the right to be protected, the right to speak out and to be heard, the right to learn, and the right to be different.These rights are represented in ?ve stations along a short path, including an elaborate outdoor theatre space, an outdoor playground made of ropes and wood, and information panels with idea of activities and questions CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 2 Tuesday, August 3, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Ben by Daniel Shelton The Record e-edition There for you 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week.Wherever you are.Access the full edition of the Sherbrooke Record as well as special editions and 30 days of archives.Renew or order a new 12-month print subscription and get a 12-month online subscription for an additional $5 or purchase the online edition only for $125.00 Record subscription rates (includes Quebec taxes) For print subscription rates, please call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com 12 month web only: $125.00 1 month web only: $11.25 Web subscribers have access to the daily Record as well as archives and special editions.Subscribing is as easy as 1,2,3: 1.Visit the Record website: www.sherbrookerecord.com 2.Click e-edition.3.Complete the form and wait for an email activating your online subscription.Weather TODAY: SUNNY HIGH 25 LOW 14 WEDNESDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH 25 LOW 11 THURSDAY: SUNNY HIGH 28 LOW 14 FRIDAY: SUNNY HIGH 28 LOW 14 SATURDAY: CHANCE OF SHOWERS HIGH 25 LOW 15 I heard you on my wireless back in \u201852 Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you If I was young and didn\u2019t stop you coming through Oh-a, oh-a\u2026.That is like an echo through time now\u2026the opening lines of The Buggles\u2019 hit song Video Killed The Radio Star was the song that light- sabered its way through the airwaves and straight onto our television sets as MTV broke through the static just after midnight on August 1st, 1981.You got that math right.Somehow, MTV (Music Television) just turned 40 years of age, tacking four decades onto the OG (original) veejays (video jockeys) Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, Mark Goodman, Martha Quinn and JJ Jackson.So yes, 40 years - well, sort of.You see, it seems that maybe reality tv killed the video star \u2013 for many years MTV\u2019s content turned to reality television programs to ?ll its content, as music videos went out of style and demand.Gone are the days when kids sprawled around one another\u2019s living rooms, pupils and pulse in time as bands took four minutes to tell a small (and usually slightly messy) story.The impact of MTV can\u2019t be denied though, although for many of us, it was just something we hungered after \u2013 because for many of us, we never really actually got to watch MTV.MTV was this thing that many kids of the 80s pined after, felt like we needed, and had a profound awareness that we were missing out on.It was the channel that occasionally a friend from a slightly more well-off family had a satellite dish and access to MTV, but that was all we had access to \u2013 the story of the friend who was able to watch it.Somewhere on their property, a device that now resembles an actual military tool, a satellite dish the size of a mini-van, pointing off into the wild blue yonder.They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine and new technology And now I understand the problems you can see It was three years later that CBC television producer Sandra Faire brought Video Hits to our small, after- school screens, weekdays where we had a tiny segment of time compared to the 24-hour MTV, but we took what we could get and ate it up, writing in to win t-shirts and other merch, and as we got a little older, watched Good Rockin\u2019 Tonite Friday evenings on CBC.Video Hits was hosted by Samantha Taylor, then Bryan Elliott and Dan Gallagher, whereas Good Rockin\u2019 Tonite was brought to us by boy next- door, curly blond-haired veejay Stu Jeffries.Oh-a oh-a I met your children Oh-a oh-a What did you tell them?Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Oh-a-a-a oh Five years, one month and one day after the arrival of MTV, on September 2nd, 1986, Quebec had its own video channel \u2013 Music Plus, brainchild of Moses Znaimer and Pierre Marchand (recognizable by its MP logo \u2013 I see what you did there Moses and Pierre), rocked its way into Quebec homes, launched with Catherine Vachon, Marc Carpentier and Sonia Benezra as its original vj crew, that grew to include Claude Rajotte, Paul Beauregard, Geneviève Borne, Louis-José Houde, among many others.And now we meet in an abandoned studio We hear the playback and it seems so long ago And you remember the jingles used to go And reminisce they did.On Sunday, August 1st, 2021, Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, and Martha Quinn reunited from their posts as the veejays now working as deejays on Sirius XM\u2019s 80s on 8 channel to remember the times \u2013 the uncertainty, the beginnings and the stories of those ?rst days.Somehow, radio lives on \u2013 something like the rise of the synthesizer only to see the piano prevail\u2026.but left behind \u2013 because that\u2019s how nostalgia works - the 80s kids remember how our parents \u2018wanted their Mapo\u2019 and we \u2018wanted our MTV\u2019.Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star In my mind and in my car We can\u2019t rewind we\u2019ve gone too far Pictures came and broke your heart Put the blame and VCR\u2026.If we\u2019re lucky, our youth is preserved in the archives \u2013 although rumour has it that there is not a single tape saved from the Video Hits television series, a rarity at CBC \u2013 theorized to have been destroyed to avoid copyright issues.In stride with his US veejay counterparts, CBC\u2019S Good Rockin\u2019 Tonite\u2019s Stu Jeffries made the shift to radio as well, a decade under his belt at Toronto\u2019s BOOM FM helming the 5:00 \u2013 9:30 a.m.shift, still as boyish as ever, albeit with three growing boys of his own.The music was clearly the driving force, and that lives on, as that ?ashing, pulsating, other-worldly (well, at least space, given the astronaut featured on the original MTV logo) slice of time that was the music video heyday celebrates 40 years since its inception.Gratitude goes out to those veejays who made the shift, rockin\u2019 out still, at the mercy of the music\u2026.Happy Birthday, MTV!

the region due to the virus.As of Monday morning, 74.3 per cent of the total population had received at least one dose of vaccine and 68 per cent of the population eligible to receive a shot is considered adequately vaccinated.An update on the vaccination campaign in the Eastern Townships is expected Tuesday, but as of last Friday\u2019s update 80.7 per cent of the local population had

each stop.\u201cWe chose the ?ve of them which are, in our opinion, most applicable here in Austin,\u201d Maillé said, explaining that the idea for the trail ?rst came from Sylvie Des Roches, the wife of one of the municipal councillors, as far back as 2009.Des Roches, who is also the President of a group called the Société pour un monde digne des enfants, which translates to the society for a world worthy of children, had recently been involved in getting a trail of children\u2019s rights installed at the Salamander Park on Mount Royal in Montreal.\u201cThe trail of children\u2019s rights is a promotional tool that aims to educate and raise awareness in children themselves, but also parents, guardians, and all other people who are in contact with children about the rights of the child,\u201d Des Roches said, explaining that although her group is relatively small, it attempts to work with municipalities to encourage the creation of policy that operates with the wellbeing of children and families in mind.Austin signed on to the society\u2019s pact for a world worthy of children in 2017 and adopted a policy of families and seniors which Maillé said ended up playing an important role in making the trail a reality, even if it didn\u2019t end up being inaugurated until November of 2020.\u201cWe had children participate and tell us what they wanted to see in this park,\u201d the mayor said, expressing a hope that the park will become a space that people in the community come back to again and again.\u201cWe opened it last fall and the plan is, when we get out of this pandemic, to have activities there frequently.\u201d This approach re?ects exactly what Des Roches said that the Société pour un monde digne des enfants is hoping for.\u201cEvery trail of children\u2019s rights needs to re?ect the will and the creativity of its municipality,\u201d the president said.\u201cIf every trail was systematically the same, with the same illustrations, it would not inspire the same interest in the general public.\u201d Des Roches noted that she was ?rst inspired by a trail set up by the International Institute for The Rights Of The Child in Switzerland, and another in Luxembourg.\u201cI thought, if they could have them there, why not in Quebec?\u201d she said, sharing that she would welcome a call from any local municipality interested in following Austin\u2019s lead and creating a trail of their own.\u201cOne day I would love to see them in other municipalities,\u201d Des Roches said, sharing that the Cherry River Marsh in Magog is already engaged in a process of creating one of their own.Anyone looking to get in touch with the Société pour un monde digne des enfants is encouraged to contact Des Roches directly at (514)

stated that, in the event of a heat warning from Environment Canada, it is not mandatory to wear a quality mask outdoors even if physical distance cannot be respected.This is a temporary measure, however, as soon as temperatures return to normal \u2014 below 30 degrees Celsius \u2014 Quebecers will be required to put their masks on outdoors when they are unable to respect the one-metre distance rule.\u201cThe measure announced today applies only on declared heat wave days.Although several reliefs have been announced recently, we must act with caution.The health and safety of everyone is at stake,\u201d said Labour Minister Jean Boulet.The CNESST suggests taking frequent breaks to remove the mask and ?nd places to cool down.People can also consult a fact sheet provided by the Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail, which proposes solutions to improving comfort.The CNESST made the announcement following discussions with Quebec\u2019s public health authority.The standards around wearing a mask, and other personal protective equipment, established throughout the pandemic will continue to apply.\u201cThe relaxation announced today will make it possible to continue to take preventive action during periods of heat waves by avoiding heat stroke,\u201d said CNESST Chief Executive Of?cer Manuelle Oudar.Quebec begins Granby bridge

Tuesday, August 3, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record How much money do you need to be happy?I was about 13 when I realized that one of the things that would make me happy was if I didn\u2019t have to do everything my parents wanted me to do.There was a certain amount of compromise, but since time immemorial, who pays the piper calls the tune.Meaning: the person who provides the money for something decides what will be done.I got a job at a snack bar, but that kind of money wasn\u2019t going to get me out of my parents\u2019 home.I had to get an education and then a job to be able to be independent and support myself.It took me maybe two decades to accomplish that.I\u2019m sure I thought about being rich, but I have no recollection of ever having a conversation when I was young about what \u201cbeing rich\u201d meant and how to achieve it.Having now ?gured out the relationship between happiness and wealth, let me save you a lot of time and trouble.First, money can buy happiness.It all depends on de?nitions and measurements.Most of us, when we get around to thinking about it, want to be independent \u2013 that\u2019s why we get an education and a job.Of course, in 2021, it\u2019s not quite as simple as it was when I was young, because getting and education and a job used to be sequential and you only needed to do it once.Today with change being the only constant, young people almost certainly will have to get re-educated a few times and may end up with half a dozen careers or gigs.Getting an education and a job is only the beginning of the story.Getting a job that covers your basic expenses and maybe a little more is exhilarating.But even after achieving a certain amount of ?nancial security, I realized that my life and lifestyle still was not in my own hands \u2013 they depended on my boss.And even after I started my own business and was able to pick the work I wanted to be paid for I was still not independent \u2013 my customers became my bosses \u2013 their decisions meant I had to work many more hours than I wanted to, their decisions determined how I fared.I re-de?ned \u201cindependence\u201d to mean being able to control my own time.There are two sides to the money- happiness equation.There is the making money side.And there is the lifestyle side.Both require some skills, but the lifestyle side is by far the easiest and totally within your control.Let\u2019s start with the making money part of the equation.You get a job and you start saving.You need savings before you can start investing.And you need to invest in order to have your money working for you while you\u2019re still working for your money.The most important thing about earning a living is that you can create a pool of money by not spending everything you earn.Once that pool of money is invested, it works for you on its own, making more money.The earlier you start, the earlier you can enjoy the miracle of compound interest and sharing in the wealth-creation of successful investible corporations.When this side of the equation is providing a substantial amount of your living expenses, you\u2019re on your way to wealth.Embedded in the paragraph above is the phrase \u201cnot spending everything you earn\u201d.That\u2019s the lifestyle side of the equation.So now you must work on your own de?nitions of what lifestyle you need to be happy.I\u2019m not talking about being cheap.I\u2019m talking about a lifestyle that does not require the kind of conspicuous consumption that signals a constant need to impress your neighbors.Most lessons on ?nancial independence focus on growing your income.Clearly, this is something that you have to do.Never forget, though, that learning to be happy living with less has exactly the same effect as growing your income.It\u2019s much more in your control and a lot easier to achieve.Dian Cohen is an economist and a founding organizer of the Massawippi Valley Foundation.Cohendian560@gmail.com.Dian Cohen Activities on the Rivière des Nations and Lac des Nations popular this summer Record Staff The Club nautique de Sherbrooke inc.is in full swing this summer

one of three women who started a petition to stop Ayer\u2019s Cliff from going through with an apartment building project, believes the town council is not listening to its residents.Last week, Mayor Vincent Gérin told The Record that the council has been transparent about the proposed building on Scott Street, which will hold 32 apartments.But according to Martineau, the project remains shrouded in mystery.\u201cWe don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to be low cost, or high cost, or if it will be a condo after some years as apartments,\u201d she said.\u201cWe don\u2019t know yet.\u201d The petition garnered over 100 signatures, and it was presented and accepted by council members.However, it has not stopped the town from moving forward with a project proposal.Martineau is worried about the safety of her children.The construction is going to cause heavy traf?c in the area, much like the Ripplecove Inn development currently underway, she explained, and they are going to cut down more trees.She does not believe a small village needs to erect a large apartment building.\u201cIt\u2019s going to be horrible,\u201d said Martineau.\u201cRight now on Ripplecove Street I don\u2019t even send my children biking on that street because there is too much traf?c.\u201d There is one councillor opposed to the project, she continued, but that is because they live in the area.The rest of the council live in neighbourhoods that won\u2019t be affected by it.Their decision to pursue the apartment building is abhorrent, she said.She started the petition with Janie Fontaine and Melanie Osborne.There are roughly 400 residents in the area that would be affected by prolonged construction.And while they got more than 100 signatures, Gérin told Martineau that apartments are necessary.\u201cThe mayor told us that there aren\u2019t enough apartments, and he told us that there are a lot of workers that need apartments, but there has not been any research, or analysis, to support his opinion,\u201d she said.Gérin said the council will present a more thorough plan at Monday\u2019s town meeting.He also said that residents have every right to sign a registry, and force a referendum.Martineau and the rest of the opposition group have every intention to ?ght the project.However, in an email, she said pushing for a referendum is just going to be a waste of public funds.There is already a majority of people against the project, she added, and some residents have stated that they will leave the town if the council green-lights the building.Martineau also noted that one resident reached out to a licensed appraiser, and was told that her home would decline in value if the town went ahead with the 32-unit apartment building.But concerned residents have struggled to get through to council members.\u201cIt is not easy to attend the meeting of the municipal council, since it is sometimes necessary to wait up to 10 minutes before being admitted in the Zoom,\u201d she said.She has already spoken to a legal team about what steps they can take to stop the council from following through with the project.She added that there might be personal feelings involved in the apartment building, and they are ignoring the desires of the community.Martineau has exercised her rights as a resident, putting a petition together, and reaching out to council, but she feels as though her arguments against the project have fallen on deaf ears.The opposition group believes council is taking personal opinion over residents.\u201cWe\u2019re going to do all we can to block this project.We\u2019re not against development, we\u2019re for it, but we\u2019re not for such a big development,\u201d said Martineau.Request pending to increase levels of glyphosate on Canadian food By Arianna Myers Special to The Record Glyphosate, the most commonly used herbicide in Canada, is used to control a wide variety of invasive weeds and toxic plants.It plays a key role in land management, ensuring that crops are healthy and that there is enough food for Canadians to enjoy all year round.In 2017, Health Canada conducted an extensive scienti?c re-evaluation and concluded that the current levels of glyphosate found on food in Canada \u201care not a risk of concern for humans.\u201d However, many Canadian organizations, researchers, and activists remain concerned about the harmful effects on human health such as cancer, infertility, and liver disease.Moreover, glyphosate may not only hurt human health, but may also have detrimental effects on the environment and the species that form the bottom of the food chain.Nevertheless, this past May, Health Canada\u2019s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) announced that it received a request for an increase in the maximum residue levels of glyphosate.Following the request to change the regulations, the PMRA has the legal obligation to analyze and consult with the public before making a ?nal decision.However, many Canadians are concerned because, under the proposed change in regulations, the levels of glyphosate residue may increase more than threefold, depending on the type of crop.According to the Government of Canada\u2019s website, in parts per million (ppm), oats and bran will increase from their current maximum residue levels of 15 ppm to 35 ppm, lentils will increase from 4 ppm to 10 ppm, peas will increase from 5 ppm to 10 ppm, nuts will increase from 0.4 ppm to 1 ppm, and beans will nearly quadruple from 4 ppm to 15 ppm.\u201cI know of a few small farms who use glyphosate responsibly,\u201d shared Chris Maynard, owner of La Ferme Topher, a certi?ed organic farm in Waterville.\u201cBut there\u2019s a difference between a big farm that can use and abuse it, versus a small farm that tries to use it as little as possible.\u201d Therefore, Maynard, like many other organic farmers in the Eastern Townships, believes that increasing the maximum residue levels of glyphosate is a matter of concern and that Canada should be trying to phase out its use, not increase it.According to Maynard, controversial herbicides such as glyphosate almost always carry a negative connotation, and many farmers in the area may avoid publicly disclosing that they use them due to the fear of receiving backlash from local consumers.On Saturday, Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri- Food, explained in a brief statement that while she shares much of the population\u2019s concern with the proposal to increase the maximum residue levels of glyphosate in Canadian food, the responsibility rests with the PMRA.Nevertheless, \u201cno decision will be made for several months,\u201d shared Bibeau.\u201cThe PMRA is currently analyzing the scienti?c data and consulting the public.\u201d Therefore, the public is invited to comment on the proposal to the PMRA to increase the levels of glyphosate allowed on Canadian produce until Friday, Sept.3 via the following link: http://pest-control.canada.ca/./ forms/consultation-comment.COURTESY View from Scott street View of the land where Ayer\u2019s Cliff\u2019s new apartment building will

eliminating viral epidemics?By Laurie Edmiston I don\u2019t need to remind anyone about the immeasurable losses that COVID-19 has brought upon us.Record levels of illness and death, not to mention the impact on our economies, social lives and mental well-being.We have seen some silver linings from our unprecedented response to COVID-19, such as the implementation of mRNA vaccine technology.This would not have been possible without a signi?cant investment of funds and human resources for research and development \u2013 at a scale and intensity we have never seen before.And it is now likely that mRNA technology will be deployed against other illnesses.But there have been many other successes in the COVID-19 response \u2013 some more hidden than others \u2013 that we can also credit with slowing or reversing the course of the pandemic.And we could leverage them to eliminate other viral epidemics in Canada.One of the most burdensome infectious diseases in Canada \u2013 to the health of individuals and to our healthcare system \u2013 is hepatitis C.Fortunately, there is a cure.Unfortunately, many people live with this infection for years before being diagnosed, with the virus wreaking havoc on the liver in the meantime \u2013 leading to liver cancer, cirrhosis and even death.The only way to eliminate hepatitis C is to ensure everyone at risk has access to testing and curative treatments.But how would people know to get tested if hepatitis C often shows no signs or symptoms?Offer testing more broadly Historically, hepatitis C testing has been offered when a healthcare provider believes a patient is currently at risk of infection.The problem with this approach is that healthcare providers don\u2019t always know their patients\u2019 past or present risk factors.The patients themselves may also have overlooked a potential exposure decades ago, such as sharing drug, tattoo or piercing equipment in their youth, or receiving medical care in another country with less rigorous sterilization practices.We saw similar dynamics at play with the COVID-19 pandemic: initial screening practices recommended testing only those who met very speci?c and obvious criteria, such as people with symptoms who had travelled to high- prevalence countries or regions.Part of this was due to rationing limited testing supplies and lab infrastructure, but this approach resulted in many cases going undiagnosed.Now that we know more about the role of asymptomatic spread of COVID-19, a broader offer of testing has helped to stop some outbreaks in their tracks.Similarly, hepatologists and liver experts have been advocating for a broader approach to hepatitis C testing.Rather than limiting the offer of hepatitis C tests to people with symptoms or with current risk factors, Canadian liver specialists have advocated that everyone born between 1945 and 1975 also be offered a one-time hepatitis C test.This approach, they argue, could put a dent into the large proportion of people living with chronic hepatitis C who don\u2019t know they have it, and could destigmatize the offer and the request of a hepatitis C test.Focus on priority populations At the same time that COVID-19 testing criteria have been broadened, public health measures have become targeted.The pandemic has exposed longstanding social, racial and class inequities that make some people more likely to have poor health and less likely to access healthcare.Some public health authorities recognized this, scaling up vaccine clinics and outreach in the neighbourhoods, workplaces and communities hardest hit by the pandemic.The strategy has paid off by focusing resources where they will have the most impact and breaking down barriers to healthcare services for Indigenous, Black and other marginalized communities.Similarly, health advocates have been calling on governments to adopt a \u201cpriority population\u201d approach to eliminate hepatitis C.This means acknowledging the communities most affected by hepatitis C \u2013 including older adults, Indigenous communities, immigrants from countries where hepatitis C is common, and people who inject drugs \u2013 and prioritizing them for awareness-raising, testing initiatives and culturally relevant information in the languages they speak.It can also take the form of a micro-elimination approach, such as dedicating the healthcare resources to completely eliminate hepatitis C from prisons, where hepatitis C is known to be easily transmitted.We have learned from COVID-19 that we can\u2019t pretend all populations are at the same level of risk or receive the same level of healthcare access.We will only be effective if we adopt tailored strategies to address the unique factors that result in higher prevalence in certain communities.Tackle social risk factors Before the availability of safe and effective vaccines, most COVID-19 prevention measures were behavioural: avoiding close physical contact, wearing masks, and washing hands.We also acknowledged the medical risk factors that could make a person more likely to become severely ill.But another welcome development in the COVID-19 pandemic was the decisive action taken by some governments to address the social determinants of health.Concerned that homeless people may be more vulnerable to COVID-19, some jurisdictions proactively offered temporary housing for people living in shelters, on streets and in parks.But the idea of offering housing as a public health measure is not new.Decades of research have shown that a lack of stable housing is associated with a greater risk of hepatitis C, among other health conditions.This pandemic has proven that we have the collective resources to house people when we want to prevent and eliminate a respiratory infection.Why can\u2019t we muster the resources to house people when we know it will also prevent and eliminate other infectious diseases?The social determinants of health extend beyond housing: income, access to education, food security, social inclusion and more.These are all effective public health measures that can\u2019t be left out of our response to hepatitis C and other viral epidemics.Act now, save later The economic cost of COVID-19 is unparallelled.Jobs have been lost, trade has been hampered, entire industries have collapsed.The trickle-down effects on tax revenue and public spending are yet to be tabulated.Hindsight is always 20/20, but you would be hard pressed to ?nd an economist who would not see the value in governments having invested in stronger and more effective public health measures before the pandemic began.We can\u2019t change the past, but we can learn from it.Looking forward, some have described hepatitis C as a \u201cticking viral time bomb\u201d because the number of undiagnosed infections could lead to an unmanageable prevalence of liver disease and costs to the healthcare system in the future.Hepatitis C in Canada currently costs us $160 million per year, and this number is expected to increase to $260 million by 2032 when current cases develop complications.But if we changed our approaches now \u2013 broadening our testing strategies, focusing prevention efforts on priority populations, and ensuring everyone gets access to curative treatments \u2013 epidemiologists project that Canada could actually eliminate hepatitis C as a public health threat by 2030, saving millions of dollars in averted healthcare costs.The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us what can go wrong when we don\u2019t take action, and what we can achieve when we do.Whether decision-makers learn these lessons remains to be seen.Laurie Edmiston is executive director of CATIE, Canada\u2019s source for HIV and hepatitis C

weekend, as they lost to the Acton Vale Beavers 7-5 in extra innings on Sunday evening.The Expos started on the right foot Saturday afternoon with a sound victory, 7-4, over the Shawinigan Cascades.Sherbrooke pitcher Ismaël Pena picked up his ?rst win of the season, propelling the team into second place in the Louisville Slugger Division.Pena allowed one hit and struck out seven batters, according to a press release.The Expos exploded in the second inning, putting up all seven of their runs in front of a raucous crowd at the Amédée-Roy Stadium.Tommy Reyes-Cruz and Tyler Havlena hit two one-run singles.Benoit Émond provided a two-run single, and Pena notched a double a few batters later.Kyle Hazel completed the scoring barrage with his second double of the inning.The Cascades scored three runs in the seventh, and ?nal, inning, peppering Sherbrooke reliever Reyes- Cruz.However, a comeback was not in the cards, as they ran out of steam.Shawinigan\u2019s Michel Dagenais was the last out of the game with a line drive to centre ?eld.The Expos followed up a dominant performance with a nail biter against the Acton Vale Beavers.Sherbrooke pitcher Samuel Greene was lights out, despite eventually losing 7-5 to the Beavers.Greene struck out 11 batters in eight innings on the mound.Samuel Brousseau replaced Greene in the ninth inning, however, where the league follows international rules.Runners were put on ?rst and second base for both the Beavers and the Expos.Brousseau and Reyes-Cruz allowed ?ve runs, giving Acton Vale the win.The Beavers capitalized on some miscues, as Sherbrooke hit one batter, and allowed three walks with bases loaded.The Expos scored three runs in their last at bat, but it was not enough to overcome a late de?cit against Acton Vale.Sherbrooke fell six wins and eight losses on the season, slotting them into third place in their division.The Beavers snuck into second place with the win.The Expos are back in action Tuesday against Saint-Jérôme.They face Drummondville on Friday, and Montreal on Sunday.VINCENT L.ROUSSEAU A top-30 ?nish for Colleen Loach Record Staff After the ?nal jumping phase of eventing competition at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Japan on Monday, Dunham-based Olympian Colleen Loach and Qorry Blue d\u2019Argoug- es ?nished in 28th place overall.According to a press release issued by Equestrian Canada, Loach was sitting on 42.80 in penalties after the dressage and cross-country phases of the three-step event and ?nished the jumping quali?er in 75.33 seconds, almost four seconds under the time allowed.Unfortunately, contacts with two of the fences added eight penalty points to the pair\u2019s total and bumped them out of the top-25 cut off for the Jumping Individual Final.\u201cI had hoped for a little bit better results, to be completely honest, but I\u2019m thrilled with my horse and it\u2019s just where I\u2019m at and where he\u2019s at right now,\u201d Loach said.Despite the early end, the result does represent an improvement over the pair\u2019s performance in Rio 2016, when they ?nished in 42nd place.Individual gold went to Germany\u2019s Julia Krajewski and Amande de B\u2019Neville on a ?nal score of 26.00 penalty points.Tom McEwen of Great Britain rode Toledo de Kerser to the silver medal position with 29.30 penalties while bronze medallists, Andrew Hoy and Vassily de Lassos of Australia, followed just 0.30 penalty points behind.Great Britain secured the team gold (86.30 penalties), with Australia capturing silver (100.20 penalties) and France rounding out the podium in the bronze medal position (101.50 penalties).MACMILLAN PHOTOGRAPHY & MEDIA SERVICES PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL

you recently talked about sleep problems, but I\u2019m having trouble and hope another question is OK.I read that some foods make it harder to for you to sleep well.What are they?If you cut them out of your diet, will you start sleeping better?Dear Reader: Getting a good night\u2019s sleep has always been a popular topic of discussion in this column.And with the stresses and uncertainty of the last 18 months, the volume of questions about sleep has increased.People for whom nighttime is a battle are likely familiar with the standard advice about good sleep hygiene.This includes a cool and quiet bedroom, a regular bedtime that you actually stick to for more than just a couple of days, daily physical exertion, and avoiding screens and other bright lights for at least two hours before retiring.Now, thanks to some recent research, the food-sleep connection is emerging into the mainstream, as well.The idea that food can affect sleep has deep roots.The practice of sipping a cup of warm milk to encourage drowsiness dates back centuries.And most of us know that a rousing jolt of caffeine, while welcome in the morning, negatively affects sleep when indulged in too late in the day.Over the last decade or so, a number of studies have focused on the food-sleep connection, with interesting results.Although their methodologies differed, the researchers came to similar conclusions.They found that when the study participants ate a diet that favored fresh and ?ber-rich fruit, vegetables and leafy greens, as well as unsaturated fats, they reported an improvement in their overall sleep.This included falling asleep, staying asleep and quality of sleep.A diet high in sugar, salt, ultra- processed foods and saturated fats, on the other hand, was associated with both lower sleep quality and an increase in sleep disruption.Dietary choices also turned out to have an effect on daytime alertness, with the less healthful diet taking a negative toll.The Mediterranean diet, with its focus on fresh fruits and vegetables, healthful oils, beans and legumes, seafood and lean proteins, was seen to be especially bene?cial to the sleep patterns of middle-aged and older adults.A study that focused on fatty ?sh, which is a good source of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, found that it appeared to help with sleep ef?ciency.Interestingly, carbohydrate consumption that was too low also appeared to negatively affect sleep.And while some of this is related to blood sugar control, researchers now believe the more healthful way of eating, which has a positive effect on metabolism, also plays a role in resetting our body\u2019s circadian clock.Unlike the one-and-done nature of sleep medications, we approach good sleep hygiene on multiple fronts.It takes discipline to stick to a regular bedtime, to put away our phones and screens, and to say no to a sugary late-night snack.But it\u2019s over time and with consistent effort that we get our best shot at something many of us crave, which is a restful and refreshing night\u2019s sleep.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist

what card?By Phillip Alder Douglas Jerrold, a 19th-century English playwright and humorist, wrote, \u201cHe was so benevolent, so merciful a man that, in his mistaken passion, he would have held an umbrella over a duck in a shower of rain.\u201d Now, of course, you can deduce the key play in today\u2019s deal.The duck was certainly benevolent to the defending side, but the declarer felt it was malevolent.Against three no-trump, West led the heart king.Declarer ducked the ?rst trick but took the heart-10 continuation with dummy\u2019s ace.The simple line was to play a spade to hand and take the club ?nesse.If West had the club king, the contract would roll home with overtricks.However, South had an imaginative idea.At trick three, he played a diamond to his king.But West was ready: He ducked smoothly.The defense collected the next seven tricks.South ran his club nine, losing to East\u2019s singleton king.West took two heart tricks and the diamond ace, then East won three more diamond tricks.Along with trick one, that spelled down four.Note that if West wins trick three with the diamond ace, the contract should make.As West didn\u2019t open the bidding as dealer, he cannot hold the club king in addition to his heart honors and the diamond ace.South will have no option but to play a club to dummy\u2019s ace, with benevolent results to the declaring side.Always consider withholding a winner that cannot run away if the duck might mislead an opponent about the lie of the land.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL

career off cruise control TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 2021 Dear Annie: I\u2019ve been working at the same car dealership for ?ve years, since I graduated high school.When I started, it was just a job.I thought I would do this and then ?gure out what I really want to do.Then I started to make some money, and I got decent at selling.A week turned into a month, which turned into a year, and here I am at 23.I got married last year, and my wife and I now have a 6-month- old baby girl.She is the love of my life, and I wouldn\u2019t trade her for the world.But part of me regrets that I never went to college before starting a family.I don\u2019t want to be a car salesman my entire life.I\u2019d really like to pursue a degree and study business.I am only 23 and know that I have a long way to go, but the past ?ve years have ?own by so quickly, and I want to make sure that I am not on a path I will regret.I love my daughter and her mother.I don\u2019t hate my job, but I can\u2019t imagine doing this for the rest of my life.What should I do?- Stuck Salesman Dear Stuck: Car salesmen get a bad rap, but really, it\u2019s not an easy job.They have to be persistent, quick-thinking and good with people.If you have the ?nesse to be a good car salesman, you can probably do pretty much anything you set your mind to.Look into seeking a degree online or through a local college that offers night classes so you can continue working and supporting your family while laying the groundwork for a new career path.The U.S.News University Directory can match you to a reputable online program that meets your needs.The skills you\u2019ve honed over the past ?ve years will take you far.With real-world experience plus a degree, you\u2019ll be ?ring on all cylinders.Dear Annie: I have two healthy, beautiful kids - one boy, one girl.My daughter is 6, and she is really into reading.She can\u2019t wait to go to bed and devours her nighttime reading material.She was reading on her own before kindergarten.She sounds out words and sits and listens and ?gures things out.But my son is 4 and can\u2019t sit still.I open a book and he gets up.When it\u2019s bedtime, he has zero interest in any of the books on his bookshelf.We\u2019ve tried every book there is, from Dr.Seuss to Eric Carle to Shel Silverstein to Mo Willems.These kids have the same genes.How can one be so into books and the other want nothing to do with them?- Reading Rain-bro Dear Reading: You\u2019re raising siblings, not clones.Of course they won\u2019t have identical aptitudes.Although there\u2019s no de?nite \u201cright\u201d age by which all kids should be reading, it usually happens around age 6.It sounds as if your daughter was a bit of a prodigy.As long as your son is in the healthy range of his age group and is getting a hang of the pre-reading fundamentals (such as identifying letters), he should be ?ne.Don\u2019t give up on trying to get him excited about books, though.Read to him for short periods of time to hold his interest.Pick stories about subjects he loves.Your son may never be the bookworm your daughter is, but the bottom line is he will go to college knowing how to read.Send

Stanbridge East By Louise Smith In Still Life by Louise Penny, in the second chapter, The Old Mill is a featured building.It is based on the Cornell Grist Mill, built in 1830 and located at 2 River Street in Stanbridge East.It currently houses the Missisquoi Museum.The mill hugs the banks of Pike River.The museum itself has reopened for the summer but the Hodge General Store down the street will not reopen until next year.The current exhibition in the museum is called Faces Across Time: A Brief History of Early Photography.Photography began in the early 1800\u2019s.This exhibit showcases a history of the region told through photographs.Each photo can tell a story but the interpretation is left open to the viewer.Most of the museum\u2019s collection lack details and descriptions of the people in them, however these faces are connecting with us from across time.These are vivid testaments of people who once lived and breathed in our region.For more information, contact Pamela Realffe at 450-248-3153.Only one of Louise Penny\u2019s books was ever ?lmed.Still Life was released in 2013.All of the exterior shots were shot in and around Stanbridge East.It is a town where historic buildings abound.It is well worth a walk up and down the streets of this little town just minutes away from Bedford and Dunham on highway 202.No one town represents Louise Penny\u2019s ?ctional Three Pines village, but Stanbridge East comes very close.There are three churches whose architecture can be admired and interesting cemeteries with monuments revealing hints to the stories of past residents.Many of the historic buildings date back to the 1800s.Some are residences and others have been converted into pottery shops or bakeries.If you have seen the movie, you can recognize buildings which have served as backdrops.Upon arrival, the town crest greets you with the town\u2019s motto, \u201cGrind Slowly.\u201d To get a good product from a mill, care has to be taken not to hurry with the process, but it is also a lesson in life.We need to take things a bit more slowly in this rushed world of ours.The pandemic has taught us the value of taking time to see what is around us.The town of Stanbridge East wants us to never forget that valuable lesson.PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUISE SMITH An antique store takes on added charm when housed in a house over a century old.The front of the Cornell Grist Mill is the entrance to the Missisquoi Museum.The town sign welcomes you and reminds you to \u201cGrind slowly.\u201d PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604

that it was local history and community that drew her to Brome-Missisquoi.\u201cI enjoy local heritage and history so that drew me here.I was in the Knowlton Players for a bit and I graduated from Massey-Vanier so I did all of my elementary and high school in the area.Then I moved away and found my way back.I like how the community and its history are closely connected.\u201d Of?cially taking on the role as the new curator of BCHS July 12, Lambie already has many things in the works.\u201cThere are a lot of things that are already in motion that I am just getting my bearings on.I am continuing work that has already been started.There is talk of an Abenaki exhibit that I will do next year.The idea is there, we have some artifacts in our collection that have First Nations\u2019 connections.\u201d The Abenaki exhibit is an important one for Lambie and the BCHS.\u201cBecause our area is Abenaki territory, that is already a very important subject to deal with, especially with everything that has been happening surrounding residential schools.We need more education on our First Nations\u2019 communities; it is imperative I think.\u201d She is also hoping to get a project off the ground surrounding British Home Children; an immigration scheme that involved sending children living in a dif?cult situation from the United Kingdom to Canada to live with farm families.\u201cPersonally, I am fascinated by the Home Child connection to Knowlton and I am hoping to explore that a bit on my own.It\u2019s a bit of a pet project and there are always things to ?nd out or to build on.I\u2019m hoping to do a little bit more looking into that, but there is lots to do and lots to continue.\u201d Lambie hopes to get BCHS more involved in collaborations with the local elementary and high schools.\u201cConnections with schools and pedological tools, that sort of area, that kind of work is something I am hoping to bring.I want to ?nd out what teachers are looking for, especially under pandemic conditions when it\u2019s not always easy to visit museum in person.It would be really great to make connections with local elementary school and highs schools to help foster an interest in history.\u201d Giving teachers the right tools is important.\u201cIt probably won\u2019t be ready for this year but it\u2019s something to work towards to create those connections with the schools and help the teachers have the tools, visual aids, and physical aids to teach their subjects.There could be digital aspects too if it makes more sense to have videos or something.\u201d What makes history interesting for Lambie is the stories that it aims to tell.\u201cPart of what has been interesting for me is the fact that it\u2019s not just words on a page or pictures in a book.It\u2019s people\u2019s stories and trying to communicate them.The stories of the people around you, your neighbour\u2019s grandfather.It\u2019s sharing not just objects that belong to these people but the legacies of these people themselves.It\u2019s the human element.\u201d Having worked in various museum institutions, Lambie said that what makes local museums like BCHS unique is the all-around working experience and she is looking forward to ful?lling her new role.\u201cThe wonderful thing about working for a small museum is that you get the opportunity to do so much of the work of a museum.If you work in a large institution you may work in one department and do one thing.In a local museum, you get more hands- on time with every aspect of the museum and that is a great pull and something that interests me a lot.I\u2019m excited for the new things that I haven\u2019t done before.It\u2019s a wonderful experience and really such a great opportunity.\u201d In a parting statement to BCHS, Reeves said that BCHS will always be special to him.\u201cThe BCHS will always hold a special place in my heart, and it has been an honour to work for its advancement over the past three years.I have the utmost con?dence that Rachel Lambie will be a tremendous curator and will continue to showcase the history and heritage of Brome County in the best light possible.I wish her and the rest of my colleagues at the BCHS the best of luck.\u201d Two groups tee off to support sport activities for people with physical disabilities BCN Staff The Adapted Sports Foundation and Les Brasseurs de West Shefford are joining forces to present a unique golf tournament with all of the proceeds donated to the Adapted Sports Foundation in order to help ?nance its sports

Shefford, as well as Steve Charbonneau, director of the Adapted Sports Foundation, are inviting citizens and businesses to take part in this event to help reach the goal of $40,000.\u201cI invite people to participate in large numbers and help the Adapted Sports Foundation to pursue this wonderful mission which is to enable people with disabilities to participate in outdoor sports,\u201d

made hats to the countryside \u2018We want it to become an accessory that will transcend through time and have its own identity\u2019 By Taylor McClure Special to Brome County News Fumile Chapelier.è.r.e, a custom- made hat business located in Frelighsburg, opened its doors three months ago and owners Alex Surprenant and Mélodie Lavergne are hoping to educate Brome-Missisquoi on what makes a custom hat unique, and how to incorporate it as a \u2018must-have\u2019 in an everyday wardrobe.Surprenant and Lavergne ?rst established a boutique for their hat-making business in Montreal in 2018 when they wanted a bigger space outside the city.Attracted to what Lavergne called the enchanting village of Frelighsburg, they are now hoping to bring a unique craft to the countryside.\u201cLavergne says she has done a bit of everything since coming from design school.\u201cI was more into clothes and hair accessories and my partner Alex, had nothing to do with anything artsy or creative, but he was interested in hat-making,\u201d explained Lavergne.He discovered this woman in Montreal who offers introduction to hat-making and he was hooked.Already having experience with her own business where she revamped second-hand clothes and made hair wraps, Lavergne and Surprenant opened their own custom-made hat boutique in the city in 2018.\u201cThat was the beginning.Montreal was great; it allowed us to be in contact with a lot of people, but it was a very small space and we needed to grow.We also had kind of a calling to go back to nature in a smaller town.That was another plunge, leaving the big city, but it was the right time and with everything going on, it was the best thing we could have done.\u201d They settled on Frelighsburg, where their space is four times larger and acts as a \u2018showcase\u2019 of their work.They hope to reintroduce Quebecers to the unique craft behind hat making, and how to make a statement while wearing it.\u201cThere are very few of us making hats and there\u2019s a reason.People stopped wearing hats for a while, especially in Quebec, but in the United States it\u2019s more popular.With experience,

want to bring new ideas to it.Hats didn\u2019t really evolve with fashion that much as an accessory so we play with a lot shapes; like the fedora.With the pointy shape, since we mold it all by hand, we will do little twists in the fedora.We want to bring other models that are innovative in design and colour, texture of fabrics, doing different dyes, adding some re?ned jewelry into the bands, things like that.\u201d The partners make what were traditionally men\u2019s hats, such as the Peruvian bowl, the eastern, the western, the cattle man, for everyone.\u201cThere really is no limit.We make berets and beanies, that\u2019s more of our niche side.We have customers who love that style, but it\u2019s not our main product.We are also developing more fabric hats, like caps and bucket hats, but that\u2019s a whole other craft when you hand-make them.\u201d It\u2019s all about bringing the style of hat \u2018outside of the box\u2019 so that it makes its own statement.\u201cIt becomes a hat that\u2019s a classic.We don\u2019t want it to be a trend this year and next year, we want it to become an accessory that will transcend time and have its own identity.Yes, it\u2019s a fashion accessory, but let\u2019s detach ourselves from the fashion sense of it and see it as a must-have in your closet.\u201d To make their hats, they use top quality straw and felt.\u201cWe work with artisans in Ecuador who hand weave so its natural straw woven in a circle.It creates these bodies that we can mold and shape our hats from.Creating those bodies, there is a lot of work behind it and they can\u2019t be machine- made.That\u2019s what determines the grade of your hat and the price point.We try to ?nd the best materials to produce quality and sustainable hats.\u201d What distinguishes their hats from othersis their signature scar.\u201cWe cut into the felt and stich it so that it looks like a scar.That\u2019s our philosophy; that we all of have scars and shouldn\u2019t be ashamed to show them.We should own our past and who that makes us, that is parallel to wearing your hat.You have to own your hat and own who you are.The hat is an extension of your identity.Once people start wearing their hat, especially a custom one, it\u2019s an extension of who they are.\u201d Already busy and looking to hire a third person to join their team, Lavergne and Surprenant are looking forward to establishing themselves in Brome-Missisquoi.\u201cWe have an amazing space and the community too is amazing.We have been super busy, we haven\u2019t had a chance to really connect with people around here yet, but at the end of the day love it here.\u201d Fumile Chapelier.è.r.e CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 6 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604

if you can\u2019t ?nd orecchiette, small shells and cavatelli work well, too.Don\u2019t forget to reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.You will need it to build the sauce.Orecchiette with sausage and arugula Start to ?nish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 to 6 Kosher salt 1 pound orecchiette pasta 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to serve 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casing removed 2 bunches scallions, sliced, white and green parts reserved separately 4 medium garlic cloves, chopped 2 teaspoons fennel seeds 1/4 cup dry vermouth or white wine 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 5-ounce container baby arugula, roughly chopped 1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese, ?nely grated ( 3/4 cup), plus more to serve In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a boil.Add 2 tablespoons salt and the pasta, then cook, stirring occasionally, until just shy of al dente.Reserve 1 cup of cooking water, then drain.Return the pasta to the pot.While the pasta cooks, in a 12- inch skillet over medium-high, heat the oil until shimmering.Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small chunks, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes.Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel_lined plate, then pour off and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.To the fat in the pan, add the scallion whites, garlic and fennel seeds.Cook over medium, stirring, until the scallions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes.Add the vermouth and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until most of the liquid evaporates, about 1 minute.Stir in the reserved cooking water, the lemon zest and half of the scallion greens.Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.Pour the mixture over the pasta, then add the sausage.Cook over medium, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.Add the arugula and toss to wilt.Off heat, stir in the Parmesan.Serve sprinkled with the remaining scallion greens and drizzled with oil; offer additional Parmesan on the side.How to be a great campsite cook Nature enthusiasts often cherish the time they get to spend around a camp?re.Whether you\u2019re telling scary stories, having a few drinks after a long hike or just relaxing and gazing up at a starry sky, time spent around a camp?re is a unique experience that can make for an ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life.There\u2019s much campers can do around a camp?re, and that includes cooking.Camp?re cooking may not require campers to learn advanced techniques practiced by their favorite celebrity chefs.However, there are a few tricks campers can try as they attempt to create a well- balanced, nutritious and delicious camp?re meal.· Create a menu and gather ingredients ahead of time.No one wants to take a spice rack with them into the woods.But that doesn\u2019t mean camp?re cooking has to lack seasoning and other special touches that are easy to add when cooking at home.Make meal planning part of your pre- trip preparation.Measure out ingredients ahead of time and store spices and other items in their own sealed and labeled ziplock bags.· Pack some fresh ingredients as well.Fresh ingredients like garlic cloves can be brought along without taking up much space.Vegetable lovers can chop their greens the night before their trip and store individual servings in their own labeled ziplock bags to ensure ?reside meals are as nutritious as they are delicious.· Bring some small tools along.Small cooking tools that won\u2019t take up much space can be brought along to up the ?avor factor even more.For example, a garlic press is about the size of a screwdriver and can be used to peel, crush and mince fresh cloves.The garlic can then be added to the pan in which you\u2019re sauteing some fresh vegetables for some instant, easily created ?avor.Another small and handy tool to take along is a portable digital food thermometer.This can ensure meats and poultry are cooked to perfection, helping campers enjoy foods that don\u2019t dry out over the ?ame.· Don\u2019t forget foil.It\u2019s easily overlooked, but aluminum foil is a useful commodity for a camp?re cook.Camp?re cooking surfaces may not be large enough to prepare every camper\u2019s food all at once, forcing cooks to cook courses or sides one at a time.Aluminum foil can keep cooked foods hot while the rest of the meal is still over the ?ame.Foil also can be used as a way to cook foods like vegetables over a ?ame without causing them to wither or dry out.Camp?re cooking can be taken to a more ?avorful level with a few simple tricks.(Metro Creative) EMAIL YOUR CLASSIFIED TO US!
