Townshippers\u2019 Association for the next Community Health Education Program Videoconference \u2018Stroke\u2014Brain Attack\u2019 on May 13 in Bury, Magog and Waterloo.According to the Mayo Clinic website; a stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients.Within minutes, brain cells begin to die.A stroke is a medical emergency.Prompt treatment is crucial.The good news is that strokes can be treated and prevented.Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Canada and a leading cause of disability.There are an estimated 62,000 strokes in Canada each year.That is one stroke every nine minutes.Only one in two Quebecers recognizes the signs of stroke, and fewer know what to do.FAST is an approach that is being used by many countries around the world with positive outcomes.FAST stands for Face - is the smile drooping?Arms - does a raised arm drift downward?Speech- is it slurred or jumbled?And Time - think fast and call 9-1-1 right away.When recognizing the signs of stroke, the faster you act, the better your chances of survival and recovery are.\u201cTime lost is brain lost\u201d.The good news, 80 % of the stroke risk factors can be prevented by following a healthy lifestyle.The Heart and Stroke Foundation is pleased to bring you a free and interactive health education session with presenter Andréane Tardif, RD., M.Sc, Project Coordinator, Health Promotion Quebec - Heart & Stroke Foundation, designed to equip you with tools for greater knowledge of the stroke signs and risk factors.The learning objectives of the videoconference are to recognize: What is a stroke?What should we do when we recognize the signs?Is there anything out there in terms of rehabilitation after stroke?Join us for this interactive videoconference on May 13 from 10 am to noon at the Eaton Valley Community Learning Centre located in Pope Memorial Elementary School, 523

eliminated.As for the Municipal Beach park, just slightly upstream from the Rodrigue launch and on the opposite shore, more significant work needs to be done to meet the City\u2019s standards.At the second site, work will consist primarily of re-arranging the space to better manage access and traffic flow while properly maintaining the tariff system and overseeing required boat launch procedures and inspections.The launch itself will also be renovated and the number of parking spaces for vehicles with trailers will be increased.Fees will be different for the two boat launches given the different circumstances under which boaters will have access to them.In the case of Rodrigue park the residents\u2019 fee will be $30 per year whereas at Municipal Beach, the day rates will vary between $10 and $30 depending on the category of boat.Parking at the latter site will be set up on a similar scale, with the day rate varying between $10 and $15.The necessary modifications to the two

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Jean Côté makes art from chaos and soft-spoken man with expressive maroon eyes.He is more likely to touch a person\u2019s arm gently than shake hands, and the expressiveness of his personality translates directly to his work.\u201cI love abstract work because it raises so many questions,\u201d explained Côté.\u201cAnd I like using By Olivia Ranger-Enns Special to The Record Sutton Meet Jean Côté, an artist par excellence.Held at Sutton\u2019s Galerie Art Plus, the exhibition of Côté\u2019s work sheds light on a man literally driven by art.On a sunny May afternoon, Suttonites and tourists flocked to the small church show opening to admire Côté\u2019s artistic productions.Titled Quand le Khaos Devient Sujet (When Chaos Becomes Subject), the exhibition is hardly lean in terms of scope.Côté\u2019s 34 works include oil paintings as well as bronze, wood and stone sculptures, not to mention a number of lithographies, all created in the abstract genre.Roaming the room, visitors at the opening quickly picked up on themes that crop up in every one of Côté\u2019s works: the clever combination of colour with an injection of emotion, be it positive or negative.Every piece is impregnated with a commentary on life, whether tragic or comedic.The vibrant colours and zig-zagging dribbles of paint cause viewers to pause and reflect, contemplating Côté\u2019s works with a smile or a raised eyebrow.One side of the gallery is titled Grands Escapes (Big Landscapes), which were created in partial thanks to Côté\u2019s friend, the legendary Québécois artist Jean-Paul Riopelle.It was around 1989 that Riopelle, no longer dabbling in oil painting, gave Côté his 50 painting tubes.The pieces comprising Les Grands Espaces are minimal in philosophy but rich in meaning.Take \u201cMidi de minuit\u201d (1989), an evocative painting of swirling indigos and periwinkle blues.The large and daring dashes of ivory and cream create an atmosphere of mystery, as if the whites were trying to conceal the blues.Another canvas, titled Danse rituelle du feu (1990), is a virtual celebration of the colour red.Whites and blacks frame the picture, bringing out the richness and sensuality of the fiery colour.Other paintings are even less bracketed and more exhibitionist stylistically, like the canvas titled Equilibre (244 x 183 cm), which dominates the centre of the room.Very Riopelle-like, Equilibre features a confrontation of oranges, yellows and reds, accompanied by thick layers of white that bring to mind small volcano eruptions.On the other side of the room are the \u201cKhaos\u201d works, which could be said to celebrate the complexities of life.Danger and potential violence are predominant themes.Viewers face chocolate browns, russet oranges and royal purples both in-termeshed and confronted on canvases that range widely in size.Canard (2012) is an excellent example of Côté\u2019s mastery of colour and emotion.The painting being abstract, the viewer is presented to a world of whites and blues, deliberate dribbles and spills.Is this what a duck sees when it flaps in the water?Or is there more to the picture?At what point does conceptions point to reality?Can we ever be sure of anything in life?Up to you to decide.Jean Côté is a small framed SANDRA MIVILLE.SANDRA MIVILLE Artist Jean Côté

life.\u201d Having known Jean-Paul Riopelle for roughly 16 years, Côté was always impressed with him the first time the two artists met.\u201cI just knocked on his door one day,\u201d said Côté, cracking a smile.\u201cAnd he opened up and listened to me.Then he asked me to come back a week later, because he was busy with journalists.We have been good friends ever since.\u201d This exhibition is hardly Côté\u2019s first call to fame.Having done more than 125 group and solo exhibitions since 1979, Côté is also the first Canadian artist to be accepted in the Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Fine Arts Association.But Côté, who was born in the Lac Saint-Jean region, decided to call Canada home, having worked in his Granby studio for the last 15 years.Quand le Khaos Devient Sujet will be on display at Galerie Art Plus at 8 Maple Street in Sutton until May 31.The artist will be at the gallery every Sunday in May to welcome visitors.The gallery is open Thursdays to Sundays from 1 p.m.to 5 p.m.or by appointment at 450-521-3189.Just one of the many paintings of Jean Côté on display at Galerie Art Plus at 8 Maple Street in Sutton.

plates his creation.The contest pitted 11 chefs against each other to create a dish that highlights Quebec pork, with the winner being announced June 1.By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke In the lead-up to the \u201cSherbrooke t\u2019en bouche un coin\u201d food festival on June 12-14, Wellington Street\u2019s 0 Chevreuil restaurant was host to the \u201cCuisinez Cochon\u201d cooking competition on Monday afternoon.The challenge pitted 11 local chefs against each other with the objective of creating the best meal to highlight Quebec pork.The participating chefs, coming from noteworthy local restaurants like La Table du Chef, Da Toni, Le Bouchon, and the kitchen of The Ripplecove Lakefront Hotel, were tasked with crafting their original recipes two weeks in advance.On Monday, the recipes were then put to the test before the contest\u2019s four judges: Thierry Daraize, Jean Soulard, Roland Ménard, and Laura Martin; as well as four members of the general public who won a social-media based drawing.The preparation of each meal was timed, and chefs plated their creations before an audience of invited spectators.Each meal was then taken to the judges, with one plate being left on display for the general public next to each of its competitors.The winners of the competition will not be announced until June 1, but at that time two chefs will be named, each of whom will take home the \u201cgolden pig\u201d trophy.The porcine creations were evaluated based on a 40 point system: ten points to measure appropriate use of Quebec pork, five points for presentation in a way that distinguishes the chef, five points for originality of the recipe, and 20 points for flavor, broken down into subcategories for how well cooked the food is, the seasoning, the overall harmony of the platter and the balance of ingredients.The winning recipes will be presented on site at the festival on June 13 and 14.The overall winner of the competition will also win a week of training in Sherbrooke\u2019s sister city, Montpellier, France, including airfare and associated travel costs, accommodation, and meals and will also receive a $2,000 promotional advertising campaign on the radio station Rouge FM.\u201cSherbrooke t\u2019en bouche un coin,\u201d now in its second year, is a food festival that brings together the 20 best chefs in the region and five invited culinary guests from Montpellier, for three days of gastronomic exploration.fefcaaàa.QCGN seeks nominees for Goldbloom award Record Staff The Quebec Community Groups Network has opened nominations for the Sheila and

once again recognized by the people of the Netherlands for the role this country played in liberating that country from Nazi occupation on the 70th anniversary of the ending of the Second World War \u2014 a war fought to defend the principles of liberal democracy, the national right to self-determination, and personal individual freedoms.This marks one of the proudest moments in Canadian military history and the Netherlands and its people have consistently demonstrated their gratitude to the thousands of Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in this theatre of our country\u2019s last total war.The men who fought and died on this front following the Normandy invasion were not professional soldiers.They were ordinary citizens who either joined voluntarily or were conscripted into this global conflict that would embroil much of the Western world in a fight to the death against the militant nationalism that had enveloped Germany, Italy and Japan and their puppet satellites.From hindsight, Canada\u2019s decision to enter the war against Germany was a no-brainer.A frighteningly re-militarized Germany, under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler\u2019s Nazi regime had invaded yet another of its European neighbours in a self-declared determination to end the perceived \u201cabuses\u201d inflicted upon the German people by the Treaty of Versailles, which had ended the \u201cWar to end all wars\u201d that Imperial Germany had lost just 20 years earlier.By 1939, the Hitler regime had thrown out most of the restrictions imposed upon it by that treaty and had regained \u201clost\u201d German territory in Alsace-Lorraine and invaded and destroyed the young republic of Czechoslovakia in military-diplomatic successes that left western leaders intimidated, confused and terrified.In September of that year, however, Hitler attacked Poland after a false-flag provocation and enticed his ideological arch-enemy the Soviet Union to share in the spoils.A treaty of mutual defence, however, this time compelled both Great Britain and France to come to Poland\u2019s defence, surprising Hitler, and plunging the continent into a six-year all-out conflict.Canada, as a dutiful dominion within the British Empire, exercised its newly-won autonomy in Foreign Affairs by immediately declaring war on the aggressor, to be joined some two years later by our neighbour to the south whose dithering on the subject was quickly ended with the Japanese attack on colonial Asia and the American Pacific naval fortress at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.For six long years, Canada and its allies devoted almost all of their energy and resources to defeating the Axis Powers that threatened the very foundation of the modern world\u2019s international political structure.Hitler\u2019s ambitions, along with those of Japan, threatened the colonial basis of western wealth and power with the creation of new, merciless empires that had every intention of subjugating their conquered subjects to the political, economic, and cultural demands of their new masters.On another level, however, the Axis aggression and its initial successes threatened the very foundations of western society and the representative democracies that governed it.The ascending regimes were not only excessively aggressive against their neighbours, they took a rather strong stand against the very philosophical principles upon which western democracies were based \u2014 respect for individual rights, responsible government, and an impartial judicial system that protected citizens not only from each other, but also from the state itself.Within less than a decade of government by their new regimes, Germany and Japan had not only managed to emerge from a position of weakness, vulnerability, and humiliation to stand on the verge of world domination with a determination to impose their will upon lesser nations and their \u201cinferior\u201d inhabitants.It was against these corporatist, militaristic, and brutal regimes that Canada and its Allies entered into the 20th century\u2019s defining conflict.Its outcome determined the power relationships that have shaped our world unchallenged until recently and it was against not only armies, but the principles under which those armies were put to use that our righteous anger was directed.Today, however, as we bask in the reflected glory earned by our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, we might also stop to reflect upon the principles they were taught to fight for, risking everything not only for God, King, and Empire, but also for the principles of freedom and liberty that modern liberalism had embraced at such great cost.A lot has changed over the last 70 years.The old political empires of Britain, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Belgium have collapsed to be replaced by the economic imperialism of the United States, which like Canada, emerged from the war intact and industrially powerful, unlike the nations of Europe that, whether victorious or defeated, had been devastated by the violence.Once again, the West is faced by an implacable enemy, only this time we are facing entities that don\u2019t play by the rules, such as they are.ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and any number of other theocratic-militant organizations do not depend on territory to form their identities and use their ideological ferocity to entice support from the four corners of the planet and in doing so, have managed to create a sense of fear and loathing so intense that we are prepared to abandon many of the principles for which our heroes ostensibly fought and died.Individual rights and freedoms \u2014 and the limitations these impose on the power of the state \u2014 are all under concerted attack, in not only Iraq and Syria, but here at home as well.Desperately seeking an impossible sense of security in a very dangerous world, we are allowing our governments to erode the very things that make our country worth defending.At this moment, our federal Parliament is preparing to enact a piece of legislation that tears away at our basic protections after having already ensured that Canadians remain in the dark about most of what the government is up to.Our police forces and spy agencies are given even more powers with which to engage in their campaigns against citizens.Activist groups are silenced, demonized, defunded, and set upon by Revenue Canada, while our government brazenly defies the courts, whose job it is to ensure that governments live up to their constitutional responsibilities.Legitimate opposition is attacked, marginalized, and ignored, while a government formally opposed by a significant majority of the population assumes its electoral victories invalidate any opposing opinions and grant it absolute power.To top it off, our government has now all but declared war on the judicial system that remains our last bastion against the power-mad

of supply management as part of the TPP negotiations An open letter to the federal Ag minister By Pierre Paradis and the Hon.Jeff Leal T|he outcome of current trade talks between countries involved in the Trans Pacific Partnership is a key trade priority for both Québec and Ontario.We both support the objective of increased market access for goods and services being pursued under the TPP.Ontario and Quebec continue to work together, and with industry, to develop solutions to challenges and seize opportunities that international trade agreements create.Both our governments want to urge you to ensure that such an agreement is in the best interest of our Provinces.We are concerned to have read press reports from Prime Minister Harper in his address to the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities in which he spoke about difficult choices for Canada in these TPP negotiations while addressing issues about supply management.More specifically, he said \u201cbut we as Canadians, alone, cannot stop a deal from happening if we don\u2019t like it\u201d.These negotiations involve a wide range of interests including those of our supply managed sectors.On Nov.22, 2005, you personally and your party supported a motion in the House of Commons in respect of international trade.It directed, in part, \u201cthat at the end of the current round of negotiations, Canada obtains results that ensure that the supply management sectors are subject to no reduction in over-quota tariffs and no increase in tariff quotas.\u201d Our two governments urge you to recognize the importance of supply management as part of the TPP negotiations and wish to know if you intend to adhere to your past position of supporting the key import control pillars of the system.Both our governments support maintaining the integrity of supply management and, urge you to take measures that will uphold and maintain the system which positively benefits both producers and consumers.Your early reply about the future of supply management would be much appreciated.The authors are the agriculture ministers of Quebec and Ontario, respectively.This open letter, addressed to federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, was sent Monday.Doctor crisis for Potton\u2019s CLSC The Scoop Mable Hastings POTTON For over 20 years, the people of Pot-ton Township and many residents of surrounding municipalities Eastman, Bolton East and Austin have been receiving quality medical services through Potton\u2019s local CLSC.In 2008 a beautiful new building was erected and the future health care needs of the population seemed to be secure and well met.2015 finds some residents in Potton in a situation they would never have predicted.The medical services offered at the CLSC in Mansonville, which falls under the auspices of the Memphremagog health and social services centre, are in jeopardy following the recent loss of Dr.Jean-Louis Arsenau who died of cancer a few months ago.Saddened colleagues and Potton residents are now facing the dire need for a new doctor and the future is looking grim.\u201cUnfortunately, Sylvie Moreault, the acting executive director, despite her efforts in finding a replacement, does not expect to succeed,\u201d said Jacques Mar-coux, vice president of the local Mis-sisquoi North Volunteer Centre.\u201cThe medical services of our CLSC have decreased and many patients are left without a doctor.In addition, two of the three remaining doctors (they all work part-time) are close to retirement and their replacements are not assured,\u201d he added.Needless to say, Potton\u2019s CLSC finds itself in a fragile situation.With frustration mounting and the future uncertain, many who transferred their medical files to the local CLSC are wondering if their needs will be met any- MABLE HASTINGS «ST CLSC The Mansonville CLSC was built in 2008.While the outside is beautiful, it is the lack of doctors on the inside that is currently concerning local residents.time soon.\u201cAs one of Dr.Arsenau\u2019s patients I received a call from the [health and social service centre] a few weeks ago,\u201d said Henrietta Woodard.\u201cI was told that they were surveying his patients to determine the urgency of the needs and that it would likely be along time before he will be replaced.Personally, I was going through a major medical issue with Dr.Arsenau, a doctor I highly respected, and now I feel I have been abandoned by the CLSC to fend for myself with many needs still to be met.\u201d Like others, Woodard had transferred her file over to the CLSC when she came to Mansonville, feeling that finally she had found local medical care, within walking distance as she does not have a driver\u2019s licence.Now, with the remaining doctors overburdened and only accepting new patients in emergency situations, patients are feeling anxiety and frustration.Marcoux, among other community activists, very strongly urge Potton resi- dents to voice their complaints with the Complaints Commissioner of the Memphremagog health and social services centre, Isabelle Duclos, whose email address is iduclos.chus@ssss.gouv.qc.ca.A copy should be sent to Moreau at smoreau.mm@ssss.gouv.qc.ca and Pierre Reid, the local member of the National Assembly at preid@assnat.qc.ca.If there are doctors out there interested in helping out, you are urged to contact the executive director of the health centre.\u201cIf we want change, people need to voice their concerns to the proper individuals,\u201d stressed Marcoux.\u201cThe future of medical services in Potton is in crisis mode and we, as a population, must make ourselves heard.\u201d It is clear that the people of Potton and surrounding areas will not give up on this one.They are determined to be successful.¦ THE ¦ RECORD \u201cThe only English daily newspaper in the Eastern Townships\u201d For a 7-day free trial online, go to:

Young Mission accomplished It\u2019s an emotional week for all of us that have been helping this litter of 13 puppies that came to us five weeks ago.The litter, which has been a huge undertaking, came in sickly, suffered bacteria, viruses and birth defects and it has been over a month filled with worry and sorrow, but also joy and accomplishment.We lost one in the very beginning due to birth defects.Then we had Po to worry about.He underwent two major operations at two and at three weeks old.Then, for weeks, everyone showed illness off and on, but the entire litter has now made it to seven weeks old.I obviously don\u2019t have to tell everyone how so very important the foster homes have been during this rescue mission.There were a handful of fosters throughout the first month with them, and all of them excelled in caring for these pups.Despite numerous dewormings, antibiotics and treatments, the 12 pups that we set out to save, have been saved and I can now finally rest easy with a feeling of confidence that they are healthy and going to be OK.This week, we actively began interviews for new homes.It\u2019s a bittersweet process.These may be furry, but they have been treated and cared for as one of our babies would have been, so trusting them to another family is a difficult task.Not just for me, but for my fosters who have been fosters from the very beginning as well.My son, Cody Powell and his girlfriend, Shannon Lacroix and Rosemary Butler have been my sanity.They have been nothing but helpful and understanding from the very beginning.Not to mention that they raised beautiful puppies that now will get a second chance at life and love because of them.To date, all of our pups have per- spective interviews set up with interested families.Because the adoption process is a lengthy one, there is nothing saying that all of them will stay with the perspective families who want to adopt them; sometimes it\u2019s just not a good fit, but I can honestly say that making it to this point with all 12 of them is a huge accomplishment for all of us.Raising infant animals is not an easy task.Never mind the three-hour bottle feedings and stimulation just to keep them alive, there is also the very real threat of viruses and bacteria that so many infants are born with.Not having a mother\u2019s milk puts an infant animal at a much greater risk of health issues.It is nothing but a miracle that 12 of a litter of 13 two-week-old puppies survived.There were so many times in this adventure that had everyone not come together and worked quickly and effectively, we could and probably should have lost a few.But we didn\u2019t.Every single one of their little faces is cause to celebrate.I want to thank all of you who have sent in positive thoughts for this gang, and also everyone who pitched in to help with puppy milk costs.This mission was indeed a community effort, much like every mission we set out on.All 12 puppies and I thank you all.While I will not feel completely at ease until everyone\u2019s trials are a success and their microchip is inserted, after making it this far, I can honestly say, mission accomplished.Flea season I don\u2019t know where spring went.We kind of went right from winter to summer; that doesn\u2019t really work for people who love spring as much as I do, but I will not complain about having to say \u201cBon Voyage\u201d to the snow.Despite the temperature, there is one thing for sure, fleas are now extremely active.It is time to start your flea prevention and also be ready to recognize the signs.Itching behind the ears, biting on the back and licking of the stomach can all be signs of fleas.You don\u2019t have to see them for them to be there and contrary to common belief, your dog does not have to be out- doors to get them.Fleas can travel on people.If you have a friend with a dog or cat at home that has fleas, and they come to visit, a flea can very easily hitch a ride on your friend\u2019s clothes and voilà, you now have fleas.Prevention is always the best way to make sure your pet never gets fleas, but also being prepared and ready is also the best way to avoid infestation.An infestation is the term used when you actually can see the fleas on your animal.If you see one, count on there being dozens more that you don\u2019t see.And they also are hanging out in your house, in pet bedding, in dark corners.In the case of an infestation, don\u2019t panic.Go to your vet and ask for three months of Advantage.Once you treat the animal, the fleas in the environment will eventually need to jump back on your pet to feed and when they do, they too will die.In my experience, only Advantage from the vet will work to clear your home of fleas.Also allow me to remind everyone again to be very cautious in flea treatments.When treating a dog for fleas make sure that none of that product ever comes in contact with your cat.Dog flea medication will intoxicate your cat and very commonly result in death.When treating your dog, wash your hands well and avoid any contact between your dog and cat for 24 hours is possible.That being said, happy flea season.This page is

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Wednesday, May 6, 2015 Page 9 Quebec tables bill targeting e-cigarettes as well as smoking on patios By Sidhartha Banerjee The Canadian Press Montreal Ten years after it prohibited smoking in bars and restaurants, Quebec has introduced sweeping legislation that would extend the ban to patios and subject increasingly popular e-cigarettes to the same rules as other tobacco products.Flavoured tobacco would also be outlawed as would smoking in a vehicle if someone under 16 is present.\"We know that tobacco is the worst product that you can take,\u201d junior health minister Lucie Charlebois said Tuesday after tabling the legislation.\"I saw my father die of lung cancer because he was smoking too much.I don\u2019t have to explain to you how horrible it was.\u201cWe want to be the leaders in Canada and around the world in terms of less prevalence of tobacco.\u201d If it becomes law, Bill 44 would see e-cigarettes prohibited inside institutions and public buildings.The bill seeks to prohibit the sale of all tobacco products having a flavour or aroma, including menthol cigarettes and cigarillos.Electronic cigarettes are exempt because they\u2019re used by smokers seeking to end their addiction.\u201cI do not want to take away the opportunity for people to use this product to quit smoking,\u201d said Charlebois, herself an ex-smoker.The province also wants to ban smoking on bar and restaurant patios and within nine metres of a public building -unless that distance leaves smokers on the street.Bill 44 will be subject to extensive consultations and Charlebois said she doesn\u2019t know when it might become law.Anti-tobacco groups say the tightening of the province\u2019s tobacco legislation is long overdue, with the previous changes coming in 2005.\u201cWhen we initially adopted the Tobacco Act in 1998, we were under the impression this (revision) would be a regular process,\u201d said Francois Damp-housse, Quebec director of the Non-Smokers\u2019 Rights Association.\u201cIt\u2019s been 10 years since the last one, so we have to give credit to Lucie Charlebois for finally delivering and bringing it up to date.\u201d Damphousse said the timing is important given that Nova Scotia and Ontario are also getting ready to introduce new rules on flavoured tobacco products.Groups say they\u2019d like to see Quebec go further and introduce plain packaging for cigarettes.Currently, only Australia has the generic, logo-free packaging, but Damphousse says other countries are mulling it.\u201cWe\u2019re just hoping the minister will be open still to other suggestions,\u201d he said.Charlebois said 22 per cent of Quebecers smoke, a rate she suggested has remained stable for a few years.\u201cUltimately, what we\u2019re hoping for is a smoke-free Quebec,\u201d she said.Mario Bujold, head of the Quebec Council on Tobacco and Health, said he\u2019s happy to see e-cigarettes being subjected to regulations.\u201cBy including e-cigarettes in the tobacco act, we know that many teenagers use e-cigarettes and it needed to be more regulated and it wasn\u2019t at all,\u201d said Bujold.Charlebois said studies on electronic cigarettes are in their infancy and don\u2019t allow for definitive conclusions.The idea is not to try to ban the e-cigarettes, which are used as a way to stop smoking.But from a public health perspective, the government believes they should be subject to more stringent rules.\u201cWhat we are trying to do in the bill is protect young people, reduce the level of initiation to smoking,\u201d Charlebois said.\u201cWe\u2019re trying to make sure that people who used to smoke, like myself, don\u2019t get the urge to start again.\u201d Back in 2005 when the Liberal government banned smoking in bars, the health minister was Philippe Couillard, the current premier.Granby makes it illegal to insult its cops and workers online By Peter Rakobowchuk The Canadian Press Montreal A Quebec town has made it illegal to insult a police officer or any of its municipal employees on the Internet.Under a local bylaw, anyone who insults municipal employees in Granby could be fined between $100 and $1,000 for a first offence.It ranges from $200 to $2,000 for a second offence.\u201cFor at least 20 years, we\u2019ve had an article in a municipal regulation that forbids anyone from provoking, insulting, blaspheming or molesting a peace officer or a municipal officer in the exercise of their functions,\u201d deputy mayor Robert Riel said in an interview Tuesday.On Monday, town council unanimously approved an addition to the bylaw to include in- sults that show up on the Internet or social media.Riel said Granby is the first Quebec town to have a bylaw that extends to the Internet.Riel said the tougher regulation stems from a French Face-book account that was set up more than two years ago that referred to the \u201czealous police of Granby.\u201d The site disappeared a few weeks ago after an article ap- peared in a local newspaper.Insulting people online is no different than insulting someone who is standing right in front of you, he argued.\u201cIf, for example, on Facebook or Skype or elsewhere, I write on my keyboard it\u2019s almost like I\u2019m directly attacking you,\u201d Riel said.\u201cThe municipal council is there to protect our municipal employees and we can\u2019t accept that people are using social networks to tarnish them and their families.\u201d He added he understands lawyers might argue about freedom of expression.\u201cWe have a right to express ourselves, but there are things that not acceptable,\u201d Riel said, citing online intimidation.\u201cThat has to stop.I think our government leaders have to put their foot down.\u201d PADERNO MAY FACTORY SALE SAVINGS UP TO 76%!

in the junior league next year,\u201d Laflamme said Cougars to return to junior hockey in 2015-16 By Mike Hickey Special to the Record While there is much discussion about the future of the Champlain College junior hockey program, two things are certain according to athletic director Sylvain Laflamme; the Cougars will be playing in the Quebec Junior Hockey League next season while the college will ice a team in the revamped provincial CEGEP league in 2016-17.\u201cThe Cougars will be playing in the junior league next year,\u201d Laflamme said in an exclusive interview Monday.\u201cAnd the CEGEP will be putting a team in the RSEQthe following year.\u201d However Laflamme was quick to add that doesn\u2019t mean the end of junior AAA hockey in Sherbrooke.The team has tied to Champlain but is run by a corporation that is separate from the college.The Cougars, who have won three playoffs titles since joining the circuit in 2003, are coming off two disappointing seasons in which they won regular season championships but lost in Game 7 of the playoff finals.While the future of junior AAA hockey in Sherbrooke is in doubt, there is no doubt that the Cougars have left their mark.In its short history the Cougars were the class of the league, playing winning hockey on the ice and achieving success in the classroom.In 2002-03, after the demise of the first CEGEP league, newly appointed athletic director and former head hockey coach Sylvain Laflamme kept the programme alive by joining the Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League, the forerunner to the QJHL.He enlisted former NHLers Stéphane Lebeau and Sylvain Lefebvre to coach the team and the pair of instituted a disciplined style of hockey.Their tactics paid off as Champlain captured the Napa Cup (the league championship) and were then crowned Eastern Canada Champions by winning the Fred Page Cup.That victory gave the Cougars a berth in the Royal Bank Cup national championship tournament, where they finished with a 1-3 record.They lost in semifinals 2-1 to the Camrose Kodiaks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.They have two other league titles, in 2008 and 2009, and have come so close in the last two seasons.Last year it was the Granby Inouks who knocked off the Cougars in seven games and last month College Français of Longueuil downed the Cougars 2-1 on overtime in the deciding game after Champlain had jumped out to a 2-0 series lead.Now their tenure in the Quebec Junior Hockey League is in doubt.It is possible the city of Sherbrooke could field a CEGEP and two junior teams in 2016 and it would be a shame if the junior AAA team did not continue to function in the area.NHL slaps Prust with US$5,000 fine for calling out referee Brad Watson By Stephen Whyno THE CANADIAN PRESS Tampa, Fla.A public apology didn\u2019t prevent Montreal Canadiens forward Brandon Prust from being fined for calling out referee Brad Watson following a playoff loss.The NHL fined Prust US$5,000 on Tuesday, hours after he apologized publicly for his comments.\u201cBrandon Prust\u2019s post-game comments were both baseless and demeaning of a referee whose 20-year career in the league has been marked by pro- fessionalism, integrity and a high degree of respect from players, coaches and management,\u201d Colin Campbell, the NHL\u2019s senior executive vice-president, said in a statement.Prust said after Montreal\u2019s 6-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night Watson insulted him and swore at him.Following Tuesday\u2019s practice at Amalie Arena, Prust expressed remorse for revealing their on-ice interaction.\u201cI\u2019d like to apologize to Brad Watson and the rest of the officials in the NHL,\u201d Prust said.\u201cIt was uncalled for.\u201cWe got in a heated ex- change and that should have stayed between us.I\u2019ve always played by the code on and off the ice, I\u2019m a pretty honest player.On Sunday I crossed the line.\u201d Prust said he was agitated and emotional after getting into a fight late in the blowout loss.\u201cWe got heated and I should know more than anybody what happens out there stays out there and there\u2019s a code and there\u2019s an honour,\u201d Prust said.\u201cAfter the game I was not myself.\u201cI was fired up, I was out of my mind.If I could do it all over THE CANADIAN PRESS/RYAN REMIORZ Montreal Canadiens winger Brandon Prust (8) runs

interviews.But what\u2019s done is done, and we move on.\u201d Prust said he was expecting to speak with Campbell on Tuesday but added he didn\u2019t reach out to Watson directly.The 31-year-old hopes there\u2019s no fallout with the officials in Game 3 on Wednesday or later in the series because of his comments.Coach Michel Therrien said in French he wasn\u2019t worried about that because \u201cthe refs are professionals.\u201d Defenceman P.K.Subban also isn\u2019t concerned about Prust\u2019s comments having a negative affect on the Habs moving forward.\u201cThat\u2019s the integrity of the game,\u201d Subban said.\u201cThere\u2019s so many cameras, there\u2019s so many people with opinions, there\u2019s so many people watching, that\u2019s not going to happen.\u201cThe game\u2019s going to be called fair.\u201d Therrien met with Prust on Tuesday morning and was glad to hear of the public apology.\u201cBrandon Prust is a good person,\u201d Therrien said.\u201cHe\u2019s a guy that wants to win.\u201cLosing hurts him.He reacts with emotion.He apologized today, which I think was the right thing to do.But it doesn\u2019t take away from the fact that he\u2019s a good competitor.\u201d Prust acknowledged a history with Watson that boiled over Sunday night.It was not immediately clear if Watson will work Game 3, but Prust will be back on the ice and understands what he has to do better than Game 2, when he racked up 31 penalty minutes.\u201cI have to learn to be better that way and keep my emotions in check because it\u2019s not really helping anybody,\u201d Prust said.\u201cIt\u2019s definitely not helping me or my team.\u201d Stanley Cup Playoffs Division Finals Eastern Conference Atlantic Division Montreal (1) vs.Tampa Bay (2) Tampa Bay

Page 12 Wednesday, May 6, 2015 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record By today\u2019s standards, this was, I think, a clear case of date rape WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 2015 Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 30 years.Before we met, I coerced a woman into having sex.I did not use physical force, but she did not give consent.By today\u2019s standards, this was, I think, a clear case of date rape.I have never told anyone about this, and there is little chance that we will ever encounter this woman.So my wife will never find out.Do I owe it to her to tell her?I believe that to do so could cause serious harm to our marriage.\u2014 Anonymous and Conflicted Dear Anonymous: Society is much more sensitive these days (and rightly so) to instances of sex without consent, e.g., when the woman is drunk or when someone in a position of authority takes advantage of a subordinate.We are glad that this has been bothering you for 30 years.It shows that you have remorse.Ideally, you would tell your wife and have her support when you voluntarily go to the police, but you don\u2019t seem likely to do that.You can discuss this with your clergyperson or a therapist, although depending on the particulars of the date rape and the state in which it happened, there may be mandatory reporting laws, as well as no statute of limitations on the crime.(For information on these laws, contact RAINN at rainn.org, or see a lawyer.) A therapist also could help you decide how to broach the subject with your wife.Is there a way to apologize to the victim?This can be more healing than you know, for both of you.You might also contribute to an organization for rape victims.These things don\u2019t at all make up for what you did, but they are a step in the right direction and better than doing nothing.Dear Annie: You\u2019ve printed several letters about bridal showers and baby showers and other occasions where gifts are given.Let me ask these young women who expect their family members to give gifts for every one of these events: Do you ever give your grandparents a birthday present?Do you ever send the great-aunts a Christmas card?When your uncle is ill, do you send flowers or a get-well card?Life is not about how many gifts you can get.These young men and women should count the number of gifts they have received from their grandparents, aunts, uncles and other close friends and family members since their high school graduations and then consider Annie\u2019s Mailbox what they have given in return.\u2014 Tired of the Gimme Generation Dear Tired: Amen.Too often the recipients of largesse think the gravy train only runs in one direction and they don\u2019t need to show similar consideration to an older generation.But what relative wouldn\u2019t be thrilled to get a birthday card from a great-niece or a holiday card from a grandchild without prompting?If you have older relatives or friends and have never thought about sending them a card or a gift or making a phone call on their special days, please remember all of the considerate things they have done for you over the years, and ask yourself how you could express similar kindness.Dear Annie: This is in response to \"Also a Grandma-To-Be,\" who disliked the burden of being invited to \"sprinkles\" for second and third babies.I'd like to share a positive spin on this tradition.When I was pregnant with my third child, we didn't need any baby items.However, my wonderful sister-in-law, who is of the opinion that every baby should be celebrated with a shower, gave me a \"Diapers and Dinners\" sprinkle.This was a small party for close family and friends, and everyone brought a frozen meal, a restaurant gift card or a pack of diapers.Everyone had a fun time having brunch at the party, and it was a tremendous blessing to me after the baby was born to have food and diapers ready to go.It made those first crazy weeks so much easier.- Mom of Three Dear Mom: Your sister-in-law did it right: She only invited close family and friends who would not find this to be a burden, made it specific to your needs, and kept the gifting to a reasonable amount.We approve.Dear Annie: Several years ago, my then middle-aged husband worked for a company that employed several young attractive girls.He became friends with one of them, and they became texting buddies.Even when they both later left the company, they continued to text.I found this out after the fact.When I confronted him, he said they were \"just friends.\" I got him to understand how uncomfortable their contact made me, so he finally stopped.I also asked him to unfriend her on Face-book and remove her from his cellphone, and he did so.This woman is divorced and has kids.When I found out about the texting, I told her I knew all about it and that I do not like other women texting my husband.She was very cooperative and said she meant no disrespect.They never communicated again as far as I know.But this entire episode left me feeling insecure and jealous.I stopped trusting him.I think he became a little too involved in her personal life.The entire episode was out of character for a husband who's been faithful for 30 years.I think the texting was exciting and a safe outlet for him.I also think it became a habitual part of his day.But because it all happened behind my back, I haven't felt the same about him since.It hurt me terribly.Can a man be just friends with a female?And should I let this go?- Still Feeling Hurt Dear Hurt: Yes, men can be friends with women, and yes, you should let it go.You have a good handle on what happened: Your husband probably found this exciting, yet \"safe.\" And because you were unaware of the social aspect of the texting, it felt like a form of cheating.We'd add that the woman's age fed your insecurities.But it doesn't seem anything happened beyond texting, and both readily agreed to stop contact and have done so.Please explain to your husband why this hurt you so much.His protestations that \"nothing happened\" are insufficient.He needs to understand that you require reassurance in order to regain your trust.Dear Annie: I have a question about when someone gives something to another person.A cousin gave my sister several nice articles of clothing.After several years, the cousin now wants the clothes back.She even requested that the items be delivered to her house.My sister never asked for these articles of clothing to begin with.My cousin simply thought my sister needed them.Is it correct for my cousin to request the return of the items?- C.P.Dear C.P.: ft depends.When your cousin gave the clothes to your sister, did she say it was a loan?Did she say, 'You can borrow these\"?If so, she didn't intend for your sister to keep them.But otherwise, when someone gives something away, it belongs to the recipient, who is under no obligation to return it.Of course, if your sister wants to maintain a good relationship with this cousin, she might consider returning the items anyway just to avoid ill will.Annie\u2019s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Ladies Auxiliary Branch #15 of the Richmond Legion April

Shaw said, \u201cA life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.\u201d At the bridge table, it can be a mistake not to make an honor-able play when one is available \u2014 as in this deal.South is in four spades.West leads the heart ace.What should East discard?North, with six-card support, should shut his eyes and bid four spades.Who knows who can make what?East wonders if his side can do well in a minor, especially as North\u2019s jump to four spades suggests that West has some minor-suit cards, but the vulnerability is unfavorable.If East does bid, four no-trump should show both minors, not be Blackwood.Note that five clubs can be made unless the defenders immediately take their three diamond tricks.It is all right to discard a spot-card, but it is much better to signal with an honor-card \u2014 partner won\u2019t miss it.Here, East should pitch his club king, top of touching honors.This makes it easy for West to cash another heart trick and the club ace before leading a second club for down one.On any other defense, declarer has at least 10 tricks: six spades and four diamonds.True, if East discards the club eight
