heels of Massey Vanier High School\u2019s most successful Kaleidoscope talent evening held the first weekend in May, Potton\u2019s younger youth ages 5-13 are putting the finishing touches on their Annual Youth Talent Show being held on Saturday, June 8 at the Mansonville Elementary School at 7pm (adults $5.00 donation and youth are free).An evening targeted each year at giving youth from Potton and surrounding towns, the opportunity to share their creative offerings with parents, family, friends and neighbours.These youth are elementary school aged or in their first year of high school and have spent Saturday afternoons creating these dance themselves, teaching their peers and working as a team to put on a show as part of the Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) Youth Program in Mansonville (a non profit organization).Anyone loving dance, music and a joyous celebration of self love and acceptance could not help but have been moved by the 2017 release of the movie, The Greatest Showman starring Hugh Jackman.For dance teachers, youth workers, and inspirational speakers\u2026this film was inspiring, captivating and motivating.For this reason, it is no surprise that it became the theme for many Talent Shows and presentations this and last year.Massey Vanier did an outstanding job with its show this year and should be congratulated.While on a much smaller production scale, the CABMN youth hold the same abundant joy, talent and enthusiasm for sharing the message from \u201cThe Greatest Showman\u201d with the public.Mixed with other dances and a variety of music, the show features more than 40 youth with special guests as young as three years of age.The CABMN Youth Program has always seen itself as \u201cdifferent.\u201d With a shoestring budget the program has existed for over 35 years with thousands of youth partaking in the weekly programs offered at minimal cost to all.Boasting no fences around Potton, the program accepts and welcomes youth from surrounding towns and this year has youth participating from Cowansville, Sutton and Montreal.The story and journey of PT Barnum (Circus promoter), a man thirsty for innovation and hungry for success that began with his creating a wax museum but ended up introducing never before seen live acts on the circus stage, as portrayed in the movie, left the youth mesmerized.Some called PT Barnum\u2019s wide collection of oddities, a freak show but as the story unfolds, we realize that even the oddest, most unique and peculiar of people have a place and that feelings, emotions, dreams and bonding happen for all if we see past our differences and overcome our fears.This message spoke volumes to the youth in the Saturday Dance Program as it resembles what they are taught within the Saturday program.The perfection of the set and stage and even the space for the many dancers performing (which is minimal) are secondary.The message that these young children and youth are delivering is powerful as through each dance, not only those from the Greatest Showman but all, are an expression of the youth and the time and talents they put into doing this show for those who attend.The audience now is the most important part for the kids.Those attending let the youth know that all of the positive energy, time and genuine desire to do something on their Saturdays as a group, working together and being creative is appreciated.Please, join the Saturday Dance Theatre Group of the CABMN Youth Program for this special evening as they present their version of, \u201cThe Greatest Show!\u201d For more information visit the cabmn website at www.cabmn.org or call the Youth Centre at 450-292-4886 or email Mable Hastings at m.hastings@cabmn.org Mable Hastings The Scoop PHOTOS BY

five students at Richmond Regional High School alke out of their regular classes in a climate strike on Friday morning inspired by the \u201cFridays for Future\u201d movement that has been sweeping the globe.Organized by Jessica Coddington and Laura Goulet as part of their Contemporary World class, the strike follows in the footsteps of Swedish student Greta Thurnberg's Friday Strikes for the Climate, which began in August 2018.The Richmond Regional students left the school Friday morning shortly after the school day began and marched to the parking lot near the local Maxi grocery store, where three students each gave a short speech.The participants also made signs and chanted environmental slogans along the way to make their message that action is needed on climate change now, clear.Earlier this spring, more than 1.6 million climate strikers took to the streets around the world for a global day of action on March 15.A second global day of action is planned for May 24, although many groups are choosing to protest on a regular basis.SHANNA BERNIER Intercultural buffet brings food of the world to Sherbrooke By Gordon Lambie The Service d\u2019aide aux Neo-Canadi- ens (SANC), the social integration organization that has been at work in Sherbrooke for the last 65 years, held their annual intercultural buffet on Saturday night.A fundraiser aimed at helping SANC in its mission of helping new immigrants to the region better integrate into the workforce and local society, this year\u2019s edition of the buffet sold out almost as soon as tickets became available.On Saturday evening the gymnasium of the Cégep de Sherbrooke, where the event was being hosted, filled up quickly with those who came out to support the event including representatives of local businesses, politicians, and regular old lovers of international cuisine.Over the course of the evening ticketholders were given the opportunity to sample traditional meals prepared by representatives of 28 different cultures from around the world who have made their home in Sherbrooke, while also being treated to music and cultural representations of all kinds.According to event organizers, the buffet is meant not just as a fundraiser but also as a unique opportunity in the region for different local cultural communities to interact and learn from one another.GORDON LAMBIE CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Following the funding announcement, Bibeau launched a \u2018Let\u2019s Talk Environment\u2019 green guide, addressing local priorities as well as the Pan-Cana- dian framework for clean growth and climate change.The guide highlights the four pillars of the plan; putting a price on pollution, complimentary actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adaptation and climate resilience and technology and innovation.The Compton-Stanstead MP added that she is creating a special section on her website related specifically to environmental matters.In conjunction with the green initiatives, Bibeau is also holding three public forums at the end of the month to discuss environmental matters.The forums will take place on May 21 at Collège Servite in Ayer\u2019s Cliff, May 22 at the East Angus golf course and May 23 at the University of Sherbrooke.All three forums will begin at 5 p.m.Leading by example, Bibeau organized a tree-planting activity to offset the environmental impact of her green guide on June 15 in East Angus.\u201cWe need to address environmental issues head on, and we need to work together,\u201d she said.\u201cI am taking action, and I hope that many local residents will join me in the coming weeks,\u201d she commented.MATTHEW MCCULLY Over the weekend Compton-Stanstead MP and Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Marie- Claude Bibeau announced funding

this year\u2019s Fonds des Millepattes\u2019s honourary president By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record Sébastien Roulier, high performance athlete and pediatrician at the CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie-CHUS, has been announced as Fonds des Millepattes\u2019s honorary president for the seventh annual Millepattes Race, held on October 5, 2019.He will also be this year\u2019s guest speaker at the Fonds des Millepattes\u2019s conference dinner, held on May 25.Fonds des Millepattes is a non-profit organization that supports families with children affected by rare autoimmune rheumatic disorders.The organization was created after the community organized a successful race in 2012, \u2018Abi et la Course des Millepattes,\u2019 which raised funds and brought moral support to Townships teen Abigaël Walker after she was diagnosed with relapsing chronic polychondritis.Abigaël was nine years old when she received the diagnosis.Her autoimmune disease causes severe inflammation in her larynx, trachea, and her bronchi.It is an extremely rare disease, as Abigaël is the only child in the province to be affected.During the May 25 dinner, Roulier will be giving a workshop on \u2018L\u2019attitude d\u2019un Guerrier: la voie menant à l\u2019accomplissement de défis extrêmes,\u201d where he will be discussing themes of resilience, perseverance, and self-discovery.Roulier is a Guinness World Record holder and has completed 57 marathons all while juggling being a doctor and father.\u201cWhile facing difficulties and adversity, we always have a choice: finding reasons to stop or finding reasons to keep going.Perhaps all these obstacles are not a duel against ourselves but a duel for ourselves.These obstacles define us, allow us to discover ourselves, and allow us to evolve and to surpass ourselves,\u201d he said, as a preview for the upcoming dinner conference.The buffet dinner will include soups, salads, spaghetti, dessert, and refreshments such as tea, coffee, and juice.The event will be hosted by 107,7 FM Estrie sports radio host Marc Bryson, and there will be draws and door prizes.For more information, visit www.abimillepattes.com/events/souper- conference/ Since 2013, Fonds des Millepattes has donated nearly $100,000 to families with children affected by rare childhood diseases, to the Kids on the Move Camp, an Arthritis Society initiative, and to the Regroupement Québécois des maladies orphelines (RQMO).Townships history tidbits By Taylor McClure Special to The Record Rector of the Lennoxville parish, Lucius Doolittle, would oversee the construction of the St- George's Church between 1845 and 1846.It was made from brick and it replaced the former St-James Church, which was made of wood, as it had too many repairs.The Church would be declared sacred in 1847 and would come to play a vital role in the Lennoxville community.Through our process of digitizing our photographs, we came across this photo of the St-George's Church experiencing a fire that is believed to have taken place in 1978.Do any of our readers have any recollection of this fire?If so, share your story or any information that you have about this fire with

Québec.That\u2019s the unusual case with Guy Nadon, the veteran actor, who has played a extraordinarily wide array of characters in a career dating back to his teens.Nadon, 67, plays President Jacques Hamelin, the fourth chief executive of the independent country of Quebec.It\u2019s 2016, and it seems that nail-biter of a referendum in 1995 was not tipped by money and the ethnic vote after all, and the Oui side won.Twenty years later, though, there\u2019s trouble in the Péquiste paradise, at least on TV.The half-hour comedy, called La Maison Bleue, started filming in Montreal last week.The title, of course, is a riff on the White House in Washington.The fictional official residence of the president of Quebec is situated in Sillery, where, nudge, nudge, the lieutenant-governor\u2019s stately domain used to be (now Le Parc du Bois du Coulonge).Nadon\u2019s turn as President Hamelin comes 10 years after he played Prime Minister Marc Lavigne in the political thriller series Trojan Horse, which was a sequel to the 2004 mini-series H2O, both co-written, produced by and starring anglo-Canadian actor and director Paul Gross.It might be a worthwhile trivia digression to note that a plot element of H2O involves the suspect canoeing death of a prime minister whose son eventually succeeds him, having given a eulogy that got people thinking dynasty.As an ironic cross-over plot twist between two very different shows, in H2O there is a successful referendum for Canada to join the United States; in La Maison Bleue, Prime Minister Hamelin, needing something to boost his popularity, proposes to the American president, played by Vancouver\u2019s Bruce Dinsmore, a deal to swap a swath of northern Quebec for a chunk of the Florida coast.The 10 episodes of La Maison Bleue, co-written and directed by Quebec City native Ricardo Trogi, are to air on Radio- Canada\u2019s Tou.tv streaming service sometime in the winter of 2020.Nadon has at least two other notable Quebec historical roles to his credit.He might be remembered for playing Marquis Louis-Joseph Montcalm in Canada: A People\u2019s History (2000), and Parti Québecois minister Claude Morin in René Lévesque - Le Destin d\u2019un chef (2008).Canada has a very modest history of TV shows or films based on politics, fictional or historical.Certainly, the True North can\u2019t compete with the likes of The West Wing or Veep in the U.S., or Yes, Minister and A Very English Scanal in Britain.That said, Canada can lay claim to being an early pioneer in the category of political dramas.Hands up all those who remember Quentin Durgens, MP.Considering there were few channels on television between 1965 and 1969 when it aired on CBC, if you were living in a house with a TV chances are it was pretty much required viewing.The series starred Newfoundland legend Gordon Pinsent as the MP from Moose Falls, which, though never specified, appeared to be in Northern Ontario.Also, though it\u2019s never specified, Durgens appears to have been a Liberal, the series more or less coinciding with the emergence of the trendy Pierre Trudeau.(In another prescient bit of trivia, Durgens first gets elected in a by- election to replace his father who died unexpectedly.) Quentin Durgens, MP, was daring for the time, hour-long scripted dramas being a new thing for Canadian television.It was also a bit of a pioneer in another way, as noted by then-Maclean\u2019s magazine TV columnist Peter Gzowski: \u201cAll of (the series) has been shot on videotape, rather than film, and most of it, in spite of the enormous difficulties that moving the cumbersome videotape equipment around must have posed, has been shot on location.The result is a feeling of actuality that television drama rarely achieves.\u201d La Maison Bleue may have no interest in reproducing the \u201cactuality\u201d of political drama - it is a comedy, after all - but there would seem to be juicy opportunities aplenty available to enterprising Canadian writers and producers to bring gripping, or hilarious, political yarns to the screen.Lately, there\u2019s been no shortage of real drama in Canadian politics to provide inspiration and material.EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , May 6, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record The half-hour comedy, called La Maison Bleue, started filming in Montreal last week.The title, of course, is a riff on the White House in Washington.La Maison Bleue comedy among rare Canadian political TV shows 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 FAX: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON MCCULLY PUBLISHER (819) 569-9511 MATTHEW MCCULLY ASSOCIATE EDITOR (819) 569-6345 GORDON LAMBIE ASSOCIATE EDITOR (819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN (819) 569-4856 JESSE BRYANT ADVERTISING MANAGER (450) 242-1188 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING (819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING (819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION (819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM (819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, J0E 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 FAX: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS For print subscription rates, please call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 108.72 5.44 10.85 $ 1 2 5 .0 0 1 MONTH 9.78 0.49 0.98 $ 1 1 .2 5 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA RECORD THE Peter Black Cookshire-Eaton water results expected today By Matthew McCully According to Town Manager Martin Tremblay, the results of the water testing done last week following the discovery of an unidentified substance in Eaton River are expected to arrive at the municipality today.The municipality draws its water from a well adjacent to Eaton River.Late last week, a citizen noticed a strange substance spilling into the river through a drain pipe, leaving a thin film on the surface resembling hydraulic oil.As a precaution, Cookshire-Eaton cautioned residents not to drink or cook with the water until the testing is done to determine if the water is safe.In the meantime, the town distributed water to local institutions and businesses, and set up a water distribution point at Salle Guy-Veilleux located 75, rue Castonguay where citizens could bring jugs to fill.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter!

Elias Theodorou has only been fighting in the UFC for five years, but Saturday the Toronto native found himself in the co-main event on the card.Theodorou (17-3) was hoping to crack the top-10 of the middleweight division when he took on American Derek Brun- son, but that will have to wait as he dropped a unanimous decision to Brun- son (19-7), who will undoubtedly rise from his current ranking of eighth.The crowd voiced their displeasure throughout the bout as both fighters seemed to do more moving than hitting, but the crowd of 10,960 went crazy when Brunson picked Theodorou up over his shoulder and slammed him to ground.\u201cHe was harder to hit than I thought he would be, but I was faster than him, so I just had to wait for him to try and hit me and then counter.I didn't really care how it looked, but he was mostly backing up and I was taking the centre and winning those exchanges every time,'' Brunson said.\u201cI just had to make reads out there and be the better fighter and I think I did that.'' Quebec City's Marc-Andres Barriault lost his UFC debut to the dismay of an Ottawa crowd.Barriault lost by unanimous decision in his middleweight bout against American Andrew Sanchez as part of the UFC Fight Night main card on Saturday.Barriault, who had an eight-fight winning streak coming in and was 11-1 overall, certainly had the crowd behind him as they chanted his name throughout the fight and roared with every punch he landed.The Canadian Tire Centre crowd erupted in disbelief with a chorus of boos after Sanchez (12-4) was awarded the win with all three judges scoring the fight 29-28.\u201cIt was very frustrating but at the end of the day it's the judges' decision.But I'm very proud of myself and I showed that I belong here that's for sure,'' Barri- ault said.\u201cIt was a good experience.I just need to look at the fight, continue to work and do the same things the next time.When I hit I can be dangerous.'' Al Iaquinta was to face Donald Cer- rone in a matchup of lightweight contenders in the main event later Saturday, while Derek Brunson and Elias Theodorou were scheduled for a middleweight bout.Bantamweight Brad Katona of Winnipeg suffered his first loss in the octagon, falling to 9-1 as he dropped a unanimous decision to Merab Dval- ishvili (9-3) of Georgia.In the shortest fight of the night, American Walt Harris needed just 50 seconds to improve to 11-8 with a first- round TKO in a heavyweight battle over Sergey Spivak (9-1) from Moldova.And Cub Swanson (25-11) lost a split decision against fellow American Shane Burgos (11-2).Swanson will likely see his No.10 ranking in the featherweight division drop following the defeat.The six preliminary bouts had eight Canadians as combatants, including Sarah Moras of Kelowna, B.C.in the women's bantamweight division Unfortunately Moras (5-6) took a pummelling at the hands of American Macy Chiasson, who won by TKO at 2:22 of the second round.That bout was followed up by another bantamweight tilt that saw Vince Morales (8-2) of the United States score a unanimous decision over Montreal's Aie- mann Zahabi (7-2).In an all-Canadian welterweight bout, Nordine Taleb (15-6) of Montreal earned a unanimous three-round decision over Kyle Prepolec (12-6) of Windsor, Ont.The third bout of the preliminary card was the first fight of the night not to go the distance as featherweight Matt Salvas of the U.S.won by submission at 3:16 of the third and final round with a head and arm choke over Kyle Nelson of Stoney Creek, Ont.Both fighters were in compromising positions on the mat in the first two rounds but were saved by the bell.Nelson (12-3) was not able to recover in the third round and tapped out, giving Salves (7-2) the decision.In the first heavyweight bout of the night, Vancouver's Arjan Singh Bhullar improved to 9-1 with a unanimous decision over American Juan Adams (5-1).The opening preliminary bout featured a pair of bantamweight Canadians going at each other and ended with a unanimous win for Vancouver' Cole Smith (8-0) over Mitch Gagnon (12-5) of Sudbury, Ont.New York City FC scores early, holds on to beat Montreal Impact 2-0 By Salim Valji THE CANADIAN PRESS Another early deficit was too much for the Montreal Impact to overcome.New York City FC capitalized shortly after kickoff en route to a 2-0 victory over the Impact at Saputo Stadium on Saturday afternoon.Argentinian midfielder Maximiliano Moralez found the back of the net six minutes in, pouncing on a rebound from Impact goalkeeper Evan Bush for his first marker of the season after an initial shot by defender Ben Sweat.\u201cOnce again we were down on the score early in the game, and it's never a good situation,'' said Impact head coach Remi Garde.It was the first goal Montreal had allowed at home this season.In the second half, it was more of the same.Forward Ismael Tajouri-Shradi found himself alone inside the box and made no mistake in the 49th, finding the top left corner on Bush for his fourth goal of the season to double NYCFC's lead.\u201cConceding a goal in the first six minutes is not ideal for any team,'' said Impact midfielder Michael Azira.\u201cThat gave them some stability.On the second goal, the ball bounced back to (Ismael Tajouri-Shradi).You can't do anything.'' The Impact registered a season-low zero shots on target, partly due to a crowded midfield.\u201cThey had five (players) in the middle, we had three,'' Azira said.\u201cThat makes it a little bit different.'' After NYCFC (3-1-6) dominated the first 30 minutes, while pinning the Impact (5-4-2) defensively, Montreal found its legs near the end of the first half.The Impact's best chance of the game came in the 36th minute, when Saphir Taider misfired on a beautiful cross from Zachary Brault-Guillard.\u201cI have the feeling that we could have deserved one or two goals in that game,'' Garde said.\u201cI think Saphir had a very good opportunity in the first half?it's not like we didn't create anything.'' The Impact were once again without star midfielder Ignacio Piatti, who has been nursing a knee injury for the past eight games.Garde acknowledged that the 34-year- old's absence is starting to be felt.Piatti has suited up for just three of the team's 11 matches, but is still tied with Taider for the team lead with three goals.At times on Saturday afternoon, NYCFC was able to assert itself by moving the ball at will through Montreal's midfielders.\u201cWe've missed our best player for a long time now,'' he said.\u201cWe can't forget that.It's difficult.'' Despite the loss, Garde was positive about the Impact's attitude and compete level during the match, noting that it had improved considerably compared to when he first assumed coaching duties in 2017.\u201cWe were quite confident at halftime that we could come back and score,'' he said.\u201cThe attitude was right, the desire to score and the desire not to concede another one.Even after 2-0, I saw many players that ran back with high intensity and defend for the team, which is good.In some games, we didn't have that.'' The coach feels the game was something to build off of as the Impact embark on a two-game road trip to face the New York Red Bulls and FC Cincinnati next week.\u201cYou cannot be pleased after a defeat, especially at home, but the collective attitude has been good tonight,'' he said.\u201cI'm really disappointed for all the players regarding the effort they have made.''

she was really just a dour person.She\u2019s also about 10 years older than me and not as pretty.(I\u2019m 32 and have never had trouble getting attention from men.) I can tell Todd and I have chemistry and just get the feeling that he\u2019d rather be spending time with me than his plain wife.He\u2019s invited me to a mixer with graphic design industry folks to ostensibly \u201chelp my career,\u201d but I know that\u2019s just a guise.I want to make a move after we leave.I talked to a friend about this and she told me that homewrecking is a sin.Well, in my view, you can\u2019t wreck a home that isn\u2019t already on shaky ground.If Todd strays with me, I won\u2019t be the cause of their breakup.I\u2019ll just be the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back.Do you agree?For what it\u2019s worth, they don\u2019t have any kids and have only been married a few years.\u2014 Ready to Pounce Dear Ready to Pounce: Keep your paws to yourself.Yes, good relationships should be able to withstand adversity, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s your job to deliberately dole it out.On top of that, I think you\u2019re setting yourself up for embarrassment.\u201cProlonged eye contact\u201d is a thing that people sometimes do in conversation.Todd\u2019s only interactions with you so far have been in the context of career help \u2014 help you\u2019ll lose if you lust after him.Limit your communication with Todd to strictly professional inquiries, and if you can\u2019t manage that, then discontinue contact altogether.Lastly, take a good long look in the mirror and do some serious reflecting, because your comments about his wife\u2019s appearance only make you look ugly.Dear Annie: On the subject of people resisting change \u2014 whether it\u2019s bad or good \u2014 I would like to offer the following statement: The end of the world as we know is also the beginning of the world as we don\u2019t know it.It might be better.It seems a simple enough idea, but whenever I mention it to another person, that person says something along the idea of: \u201cYou\u2019re RIGHT! I never thought of THAT!\u201d I\u2019m not sure why, but trying to figure out what will probably happen next is sometimes not intuitive.\u2014 Sara P.Dear Sara P.: Thank you for this beautiful sentiment and salient reminder to embrace uncertainty rather than shy away from it.As Deepak Chopra said, \u201cAll great changes are preceded by chaos.\u201d Dear Annie: I just turned 39 and am freaking out about my next birthday, when I will go from being a young person to a middle-aged person.I remember when I was a child everyone making such a fuss over my parents turning 40.And now here I am turning 40.Do you have any suggestions for coping with this monumental change of life?\u2014 Scared of Aging Dear Scared: It\u2019s as monumental as you make it, and try not to make a molehill into a mountain.Your actual age is nothing but a number, and, as they say, 60 is the new 40.And if you keep a good mental attitude and take care of yourself physically, you could feel even better at 60 than you do at 40.Dear Readers: Many of you wrote in about \u201cDeeply Hurt in Florida,\u201d who was offended by the way she was addressed on the invitation to her grandson\u2019s wedding.Here is a sampling of comments and advice: Dear Annie: My husband and I enlisted the help of friends to address our wedding invitations nearly 17 years ago.I remember that day making last-minute changes to names, and I\u2019m sure we made some mistakes.I also remember feeling stress because it was the first big project my fiance and I had ever tried to manage together.I hope \u201cDeeply Hurt in Florida\u201d will offer grace, much grace, to her grandson and his fiancee.Many weddings are needlessly stressful times for the bride- and groom-to-be.\u2014 Offering Perspective to Deeply Hurt Dear Offering Perspective: Thank you for sharing your story.The fact that your fiance is still your husband is what really counts when it comes to wedding planning, and I agree that much of the stress involved is needless.Brides and grooms frequently will have other people write the invitations.Whatever the cause, it is nothing to be alarmed about, as the next letter, from a grandmother and great-grandmother, points out.Dear Annie: I could not believe the grandma in Florida was so upset by her correct name being on the invitation.It could be that others were helping write the invitations and did not know her preferred name.As a grandmother of 21 and great-grandmother of seven, I would not let anything so minor affect my going to a family wedding.You were right.Ask that the placecard be corrected and enjoy the occasion.I have not written to a columnist before but could not believe the grandmother could be making such a mountain out of a molehill.Isn\u2019t she fortunate to see a grandson married?\u2014 Grandmother and Great Grandmother Dear Grandmother and Great Grandmother: You\u2019re the best! I love your attitude, which, as you can see, is shared by a reader from New Hampshire who wants nothing more than to have grandchildren.Dear Annie: Regarding \u201cDeeply Hurt in Florida,\u201d I find it sad that she may not attend her grandson\u2019s wedding over such a minor detail as being addressed as Judy instead of Chris.Does she know how fortunate she is to have her grandson in her life?Many of us don\u2019t have the pleasure of having grandchildren or great-grandchildren in our lives, and how heartbreaking that is.We have so much love that we cannot share with them.\u2014Heart- broken in New Hampshire.Dear Heartbroken: You address the real issue, which is love.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

Through resident purchases and generous donations, the beginning of the month was filled with the colour of daffodils everyway you looked, purchased in support of the Cancer Society.All thoughts turned to better weather as we watched the landscapers clear out the garden to prepare for the new growth, and we began growing morning glories to transplant when the weather warms.The gardens were filled with laughter (and beautiful sunshine) for our Easter Egg hunt where around fifteen families hunted for chocolate treasures while residents watched (and a few cheated, giving away some of the Easter Bunny\u2019s secret egg hiding spots).We began our Pathways Program (a video music therapy program) and many residents joined together singing familiar songs in the evenings after supper.Thoughts turned to Easter, as many gathered with family, and we held several church services over the course of Easter weekend, and chocolate consumption was probably at an all-time high.We were pleased to welcome country-gospel singer Ed Sealy as he shared his music and personal stories about his Faith with residents and community members at a well-attend- ed concert.The following day we had a Hymn Sing with a group of students from Word of Life Schroon Lake where we sang many familiar hymns and enjoyed a fellowship tea time together.We finished an art project with our BCS Bridges Program where we spent a few weeks contemplating the concept of \u201cHome\u201d and what that means to different people and different generations (a sample of which we hope to display at our Art Exhibit on May 25).April also presented us with Volunteer Appreciation Week and a chance to pay an extra thanks to our many volunteers who help in various areas including leading and organizing many of our wonderful activities.We are so grateful to everyone who makes Grace Village a lively, happy place to be!
