Had Dorothy\u2019s house not landed in Oz but rather in Potton over Halloween, she may have found herself trudging along with her friends while singing, \u201cLions and Tigers and Recycling bins, oh my!\u201d The Municipality of Potton like some other Townships made the decision to postpone Halloween Trick or Treating to November 1st rather than the 31st of October in hopes of avoiding the treacherous unpredictable winds and rain expected on Halloween night.While some families gathered and still went door to door as planned on the 31st, others felt it best to follow the directives of the Municipality and their prevention warnings and wait.\u201cWe had a great time,\u201d said one of the mothers who met friends and went out on the 31st.\u201cSome businesses and houses told us they were waiting until the next night but many gave regardless,\u201d she shared.For those out the following night, the wind, rain and flying debris were a concern.Trees had fallen, the water was rising, lines were down and, the power out.Mansonville was an eerie silent and dark town as families made their way using flashlights, the kids in costumes and the parents braving along at their side.\u201cThe howling wind and sheer darkness seemed to make our kids move along a little quicker than usual,\u201d laughed one father.\u201cWe didn\u2019t do as many houses but the kids were happy and people were generous and encouraging.\u201d At the Missisquoi North Volunteer (CABMN) Youth Centre, Former Youth Involvement (FYI) volunteers, Julia Eldridge and Rachelle Lachance were keen but sad.\u201cWe put a lot of effort into our haunted house each year,\u201d explained El- dridge.\u201cWe had to take it down earlier today and opt on the side of safety with no electricity and so on.\u201d The two however were there on a smaller scale at the door, in costumes, with props, waiting to greet the children on their most favourite night of the year.Lachance, Eldridge and volunteers do fundraisers to buy supplies, build props, purchase decorations and go and get the \u201cBIG\u201d chocolate bars thanks to the sponsorship of the Mansonville Optimist Club assuring that they have great candy to give out.Each year the group turns the Youth Centre into a themed house of haunt for the kids and their parents to enjoy.\u201cThis year, we had only 66 kids come by,\u201d said Lachance.\u201cA good year is normally double that number.\u201d With the loss of power, fallen trees and wires, damages to homes and cars as well as the debris that found neighbours with other neighbours recycling bins, lawn furniture and car tempos in their yards, the holiday somehow survived, tattered and torn but in tact.Likely no one will forget Halloween 2019 or the lack there of.With so many without electricity some three days later, right now\u2026.Halloween seems the least of our worries.Mable Hastings The Scoop PHOTO: COURTESY Julia Eldridge and Rachelle Lachance made the best of Halloween in Potton Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter! sherbrookerecord @recordnewspaper By Gordon Lambie Amassive storm tore its way across the Eastern Townships on Thursday night and Friday, first drenching the region with enough rain to spur flash flooding, then following that with high winds that toppled trees and took out power lines.In some parts of the Townships as much as 100mm of rain is reported to have fallen in a matter of hours, followed by winds in the area of 100km/h.As of this writing there were still almost 34,000 households across the Mon- teregie and Estrie regions that were still without power, according to Hydro Quebec, making up nearly 30 per cent of all outages across the province.At its peak, the storm left nearly 1 million households across the province in the dark, making this the most severe mass-out- age to hit the province since the 1998 Ice Storm, although teams from Hydro Quebec were hard at work throughout the weekend patching broken lines.In Sherbrooke the water rose fast from Thursday night to Friday.The Saint- Francis River rose nearly fifteen feet over the course of the day, eventually peaking at just under 25 feet around 4:30p.m.The first floor of the Champlain College Building sustained significant water damage during the flash flood on Friday and will be closed for the foreseeable future.No administrative services will be available at the College on Monday, Nov 4 or Tuesday, Nov 5, but classes are scheduled to proceed as usual on Monday.Bishop\u2019s University and Champlain college both cancelled classes on Friday in the midst of the flooding.The flood came on so quickly that one young man, sitting in the dark at a local car rental agency on frday afternoon, told The Record he had no warning.\u201cWhen I parked the care there you couldn\u2019t even see the water,\u201d he said, noting that when he woke in the morning the vehicle was submerged.The story was a common one that afternoon.In Bromont,a 63-year-old man was struck by a falling tree and killed on Friday.As of this point his is the storm\u2019s only known casualty.The fast moving water also resulted in road washouts and isolated landslides, including one on Fulford Road in the Town of Lac Brome less than a kilometre from a similar washout last year.The City of Magog opened up its cultural centre as a day-shelter on Sunday, offering those without power a space to warm up and recharge.Starting today, November 4, citizens in need of potable water can stop into any of the municipal buildings with a \u201cRemplis Vert\u201d sticker to do so (including the arena, library, and town hall).The sports centre of the La Ruche school will be open for people looking to have a shower Local health and safety agencies are reminding those still without power to be wary of food poisoning from spoilage and carbon monoxide poisoning as food gets warmer and people turn to generators for emergency power.Record Staff Although a call for appointments was already put out to the public, November 1 marked the beginning of this year's flu vaccination campaign.As a result, public health authorities of the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) are inviting people at risk of complications and their families and friends to protect themselves against this infection by getting vaccinated.This protection measure, which is offered free of charge, remains the best way to avoid complications from influenza.\"We invite those targeted as being at higher risk of complications and hospitalizations to be vaccinated,\" said Horacio Arruda, the Provincial Director of Public Health.\"If you live with diabetes, a weakened immune system, heart, lung or kidney disease, the flu could make you vulnerable.The vaccine is the best way to protect yourself against the flu and it is free.\" The risk groups targeted by this vaccination campaign are as follows: Children aged 6 months to 17 years with diabetes, weakened immune systems or heart, lung or kidney disease; Pregnant women in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of their pregnancy; Adults with diabetes, weakened immune systems or heart, lung or kidney disease (including pregnant women, regardless of the stage of their pregnancy); and people aged 75 and over.To reduce the risk of transmission, vaccination is also offered free of charge to relatives who live in the same household as a child under 6 months of age or a person at high risk of hospitalization or death, their caregivers, and health care workers.It should also be remembered that the vaccine is free again this year for children aged 6 to 23 months and healthy people aged 60 to 74 years.The MSSS has acquired a sufficient number of vaccines to meet the needs of all the clients concerned by this campaign, i.e.1.6 million doses.Complications that can occur as a result of influenza include breathing and heart problems, sinusitis or ear infection, or even hospitalization or death for those at higher risk.People who wish to be vaccinated can contact their health professional or visit Québec.ca/vaccingrippe to find out where the vaccine is available.Monday, November 4, 2019 Page 3 The fast moving water also resulted in road washouts and isolated landslides, including one on Fulford Road in the Town of Lac Brome less than a kilometre

For our 2019 Terry Fox Run, S.E.S ran 1 200 kilometers as a school team.This is almost the distance between Sherbrooke and Thunder Bay, Ontario.Next year, our goal is to run even further! Some of our students also ran at our second edition of the S.E.S.FUN RUN.This run or walk was to raise money for this year's sports activities for kindergarten to grade six students.A special thanks to Mr.G and Mme Geneviève for organizing this event.October was a busy month.Our cycle 3 students hiked up Mont-Orford, our cycle 2 students hiked up Mont-Pinacle and our Cycle 1 students hiked up Mont- Bellevue.The students had a blast! Last but not least, our Cycle 2 students are starting a new program called \u201cNager pour Survivre\u201d at Sherbrooke University.S.E.S News Grade Five students are reading the book called Front Desk.It is about a girl called Mia Yang that works at a motel with her parents.The manager Mr.Yao is really mean to the Yang family.He does not pay them a lot of money and his son Jason goes to the same school as Mia.Jason is mean to Mia.I like the book because I get to realize how lucky I am to have money and to be treated nicely.While we read the book, our teacher encourages us to reflect on our thoughts about the book.We look forward to seeing how the story will unfold.We are reading this book with the Global Read Aloud and classes all around the world are reading the same book at the same time.We mystery skyped with another class from the U.S.A but we did not know in which state they lived in.So we asked questions to figure out in which state they lived in.They live in St Louis, Missouri.We found out because we asked if they had an NHL team in their state and they answered by saying yes and that their team won the Stanley Cup.Now we have partners and we blog with them.We blog about the story.We say how we like the story, what messages and themes the story has and what techniques the author uses that we appreciate (or don\u2019t appreciate!) We respond to their blogs too.It is really fun! Sincerely, Makenna and Sierra Grade five students Cycle 1 at Mont-Bellevue Terry Fox Run Our Kindergarten boys during the S.E.S.FUN RUN Eighty years ago this week, Canada was eight weeks into a war it had declared on Germany.The declaration by then-prime minister Mackenzie King reads as less of a stirring call to battle than a wishy-washy promise: \u201cThe government, speaking on behalf of the Canadian people, announced that in the event of the United Kingdom becoming engaged in war in the effort to resist aggression, they would, as soon as parliament meets, seek its authority for effective cooperation by Canada at the side of Britain.\u201cIn what manner and to what extent Canada may most effectively be able to cooperate in the common cause is, as I have stated, something which parliament itself will decide.All I need to add at the moment is that Canada, as a free nation of the British Commonwealth, is bringing her cooperation voluntarily.Our effort will be voluntary.\u201d Got that Quebec?Voluntary.King, of course, was the consummate cautious equivocator, as he tried to balance the interests of Quebec and English Canada concerning the war.The \u201cvoluntary\u201d vow would come back to bite him, not mortally, of course, later in the war with the conscription crisis.King, to his credit, did lead Canada successfully through the six war years and beyond, though military scholars would probably give more credit to the generals and other leaders who took command for Canada\u2019s extraordinary war effort.Generally lost in the epic story of the Second World War is King\u2019s significant role in the failures and miscalculations that ended up unleashing the fascist dogs of war on the world.A new book out by former diplomat and federal politician Roy MacLaren takes a hard look at how King handled Canadian foreign policy leading up to the outbreak of the Second World War.Mackenzie King in the Age of the Dictators is a deeply researched and scathing assessment of King\u2019s politically scheming approach to global issues, specifically the mounting threat of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.The issue where King\u2019s misguided meddling and muddling proved particularly unfortunate, as detailed by Ma- cLaren, is Mussolini\u2019s threatened invasion in 1935 of the impoverished African nation of Abyssinia, now known as Ethiopia.Mussolini had coveted the territory to bolster Italy\u2019s other African colonies of Libya, Eritrea and Somaliland.Abyssinia pleaded to the League of Nations, of which Italy was a member, to step in and block an invasion.What followed was a tragi-comic series of diplomatic dodging and weaving by key League members on how to respond to the Abyssinian cry for help.Under the League\u2019s covenants member nations were expected to stand as one - collective security - against territorial aggression.League members contemplated military action, imposed economic sanctions, and debated stepping up the pressure with an oil embargo.As tensions mounted, King, on the election hustings in Quebec, vowed \u201cNo interest in Ethiopia \u2026 is worth the life of a single Canadian citizen.No consideration could justify Canada\u2019s participation, and I am unalterably opposed to it.\u201d As far as the oil embargo was concerned, King, once again playing the domestic card, was loathe to cripple Italy, where Mussolini had resolved the Vatican\u2019s long-standing plea for independent status.What\u2019s more, the fascist leader had made it known that cutting off oil supplies would be seen as an act of war.King\u2019s wavering on an oil embargo became a diplomatic triumph for Italy and ultimately a death blow for the League of Nations as an effective deterrent to aggression.MacLaren writes King had \u201cabandoned the League of Nations.The whole brouhaha became part of his increasingly convoluted balancing act between English Canada and French Canada.\u201d Had Canada lent firm support to the oil embargo the League of Nations may well have forced Mussolini to back down and, more importantly, given Hitler pause as well.MacLaren quotes Hitler\u2019s interpreter Paul Schmidt\u2019s recollection of Mussolini telling the Nazi fuhrer, \u201cIf the League of Nations \u2026 had extended economic sanctions to oil, I would have had to withdraw from Abyssinia in a week.That would have been an incalculable disaster for me.\u201d Schmidt adds \u201cHow different history might have been had the League been able to successfully bring Mussolini to heel.\u201d MacLaren writes \u201cKing had by his drift, procrastination, prevarication, caution, platitudes, evasions, indecision, and banalities kept Canada from dividing.\u201d One might add, while the world was torn asunder.EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , November 4, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Generally lost in the epic story of the Second World War is King\u2019s significant role in the failures and miscalculations that ended up unleashing the fascist dogs of war on the world.Letters Could King have helped League of Nations prevent Second World War?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 MANAGING 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 The Record welcomes your letters to the editor.Please limit your letters to 300 words.We reserve the right to edit for length, clarity, legality and taste.Please ensure there is a phone number or email where you can be reached, to confirm authorship and current town/city of residence.Names will not be withheld but the address and phone number of the writer are not published, except by request.Preference is given to writers from the Eastern Townships.Peter Black Subscribe today -

it could be a structural problem, like a deviated septum; or it could arise from a blockage, as from polyps.The good news is that allergies respond well to medication, and anatomical blockages can be surgically corrected.Something as simple as those nasal strips, which help keep the nasal canal open, can bring relief.We think it would be wise for you to see your family\u2019s health care provider to learn and address the underlying cause for your ongoing nasal congestion.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Nose breathing has more bene?ts than mouth breathing WETLANDS ARE DISAPPEARING Protect them.Become a member today.www.ducks.ca 1-866-384-DUCK The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday , November 4 , 2019 Page 9 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2019 Dear Readers: A great many of you wrote in expressing concern for Whiskers and her owner.Your letters bring up a number of insightful points about the correlation between animal abuse and spousal and child abuse.All of you warned that Tom\u2019s behavior should serve as a red ?ag that he could end up abusing his wife or their future children.I agree with all of you that, for everyone\u2019s safety, she must leave with Whiskers, and Tom can seek therapy on his own.Here are just some of your letters: Dear Annie: To the woman whose husband\u2019s behavior has changed toward her beloved cat: This is a giant red ?ag! Your suggestion, Annie, of telling her to leave makes the most sense.People can fake responses in therapy, and it sounds like this man probably won\u2019t go anyway.If he acts this way toward something that means so much to her, what will happen with children?If they have a child and the child resembles a family member he doesn\u2019t like, then what will be his reaction?What if he resents the affection and time given to the child?Wishing her the courage and strength she needs to move forward.\u2014 A Concerned Follower of Your Column Dear Concerned Follower: Thank you so much for your suggestions and praise.Let\u2019s hope she has taken our advice.Dear Annie: I am concerned about \u201cDepressed and Confused.\u201d Her poor cat cannot talk but is telling her the only way it knows how by hiding or running from her husband.That\u2019s about as clear a sign as she can have that the husband is abusive.I doubt counseling will help him because, for some reason, he thinks he has a right to abuse that poor helpless animal.I would never, ever trust Tom to be alone with animals.You bet I\u2019d get out, now! \u2014 Defending Whiskers Dear Defending Whiskers: Thank you for sharing your concern.Dear Annie: Please tell Depressed and Confused to run, not walk, out of that marriage.I, too, was in a similar marriage and wish someone had opened my eyes.Instead, I took his (verbal and cat) abuse for 29 years.Everything was always my fault.After years of therapy, I am ?nally free of him \u2014 going on 11 years now \u2014 and am very happy with my four cats.They bring me more joy than my husband ever did.\u2014 Cat Lover in Florida Dear Cat Lover: Thank you for sharing your story.Abuse is never acceptable, whether it is aimed at people or animals.I agree with you.Tom has got to go! Dear Annie: I am writing with concern about the husband who was mean to his wife\u2019s cat.When I was young, I had a dog named Holly.My parents had refused a dog for years, so when I ?nally got her, she meant the world to me.At the time, I was dating my husband and he would mock the dog, making fun of her and putting her down.Unfortunately, I dismissed this and married him anyway.Annie, you are absolutely correct.The way he treated Holly became the way he treated me.I had an awful marriage with him, and he was emotionally abusive.This woman must consider his behavior a giant red ?ag and leave that marriage as soon as possible.This is the behavior of a narcissist.They do not change.He cares only about himself.A caring person would manage to be kind to the cat, if only for his wife\u2019s sake.Consider yourself lucky to see the signs, because you could be in the cat\u2019s place soon enough.He is already disregarding you.\u2014 From Experience Dear From Experience: Yours is one of a great many letters pointing out that people who hurt animals will eventually hurt people.The reason I wanted to print yours is because you speak from experience.Thank you for sharing.Dear Annie: My husband and I went to dinner with his sister and her husband, who live in another state.We are all in our 70s.We have never been \u201cfamily\u201d close.We have children and grandchildren; they do not.We have pets; they do not.We run in different social circles.They are wealthy; we are comfortable.While at dinner having casual conversation, my SIL interrupted me and, with a sneer on her face and a nasty tone, said very quietly so our husbands couldn\u2019t hear, \u201cYou\u2019re stupid.\u201d It was like a slap in the face.I have not been able to overcome the insult.I have spent the last several years, with professional help, living with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem and had made good progress \u2014 until her remark.I know I\u2019m not stupid.I worked long hours at a challenging legal job for 40-plus years.I raised two children as a single parent; both are very well-adjusted adults doing well in their careers.While working long hours in the legal ?eld with a very demanding boss, I was also caregiver to both my parents and my husband\u2019s stepmom.I am my husband\u2019s fourth wife and, after getting married, discovered he was verbally abusive which contributed to my low self-esteem.But I took the \u201cbull by the horns\u201d and ?xed that problem because I didn\u2019t want another divorce.He is no longer verbally abusive, and we are happy.But the \u201cyou\u2019re stupid\u201d remark is something I cannot forget.I told my husband when we left the restaurant what she said and told him I would not go with him to meet them again.He called her the next day while I was out, and then she called me (crying) to apologize.But a forced apology cannot erase the words or the damage they caused.I am not interested in a relationship with this SIL.But I do need to get that remark and how I felt \u2014 and still feel \u2014 about it out of my head.It has brought my depression and anxiety back in full mode.I had to renew my meds because of it, and years of progress have been set back.Why does an adult woman who supposedly has better social skills than I do say something like that?And can it be forgiven and forgotten?Because I\u2019m having a hard time.\u2014 Feeling Stupid Dear Feeling Stupid: Your sister-in- law might as well have been talking to a mirror.Her remark had absolutely nothing to do with you and everything to do with her.A mentally stable person with normal self-esteem does not go around telling people, \u201cYou\u2019re stupid.\u201d She must, deep-down, feel pretty darn bad about herself to say such a thing to another person (let alone a family member).Whatever the reason, if this is the ?rst time she\u2019s said such a thing, and since she\u2019s apologized, I think you should try to ?nd it in your heart to forgive her.As you showed in your letter, you are an incredibly strong, intelligent woman.I applaud your return to therapy, rather than just resuming medications, as well.Hopefully, your sister-in-law will also seek counseling and sort out whatever would cause her to say such a thing in the ?rst place.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

walk the other day Along a country road.The radiant colours that I saw, Were a glory to behold.The Master Painter must have worked All through the long dark night, For one who never mixes paints The
