We knew him, Bernard Soon-to-be-former borough mourned at city council By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke Though official business at Monday night\u2019s city council meeting never touched on the matter directly, the passage of Sherbrooke\u2019s municipal reform bill at the National Assembly came up repeatedly in both the public question period and the time reserved for councilors\u2019 personal remarks.The councillors and residents of the city who have spoken against the reform, which will centralize management of city services and reduce the number of boroughs from six to four by the next municipal election, each took their turn to eulogize the loss and publicly voice their concerns for the future.\u201cWe\u2019ve lost the battle, we\u2019ve lost Brompton,\u201d said Lennoxville Borough President David Price following the meeting.\u201cWe agreed not to separate from Sherbrooke in 2004 on the promise that the boroughs would remain.We were lied to.\u201d Price explained that regardless of any changes to municipal governance in the 11 years since, he feels the will of the council at the time should have been maintained.\u201cThe word was not given by any one person,\u201d the borough president said, \u201cit was given by the council.\u201d Price was joined in his sentiments by fellow independent councillors Nicole Bergeron, president of the Brompton borough, and Chantal L\u2019Es-perance, president of the Jacques-Cartier borough.Bergeron, on a similar train of thought, said that this course of action makes it clear to her that all Sherbrooke\u2019s boroughs will eventually disappear.\u201cIt\u2019s only a matter of time,\u201d the Brompton representative said, calling the conversation as a whole divisive.Five of the nine residents who spoke during the meeting\u2019s question period devoted part or all of their time to addressing the reform.Lynne Moreau, who identified herself as being from Bromptonville, questioned what value the \u201cspecial status\u201d granted to Brompton as a electoral district has, given that a future council could simply ask for that status to be revoked.She argued that Brompton was stripped of its voice by a council majority, and warned that citizens who do Cont\u2019d on Page 5 ¦ THE» RECORD The Record online is new and improved It is more up to date and compatible with the new modern devices To subscribe, go to www.sherbrookerecord.com, click on e-dition and follow the simple instructions.For information or assistance call 819-569-9528 billing@sherbrookerecord.com SPECIAL OFFER for Record print subscribers: Receive a full year\u2019s subscription to the online edition for only $5 with every new 12 month print subscription or renewal.Contact the office directly to take advantage of this offer.

it\u2019s a goldmine.\u201d Marc Denault, president of the Public Safety Committee, explained that the matter is due to come up at the next committee meeting, and that he has asked that a study be commissioned on the road to determine what would be best as a more permanent solution.\u201cIt could be something as simple as stamping the pavement,\u201d Denault said, speculating that a grooved road surface might help warn drivers to slow down and be more cautious.Lennoxville to receive ten By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke From Aug.21-23 the City of Sherbrooke will host its second annual Mural Art Symposium at the Marché de la Gare in downtown.As in the case of the first event in 2014, the symposium will include the on-site creation of ten works of public art to be displayed within the city.This year\u2019s artworks will find their homes on three walls in the borough of Lennoxville.\u201cI accepted the budget that went to East Sherbrooke last year provided that this year\u2019s would come to Lennoxville,\u201d said David Price, Lennoxville Borough President.\u201cWe\u2019ve pushed for this.\u201d Price expressed a hope for the murals to have a historical basis, but shared that he is concerned that artists coming to the community from the outside might not be on the same creative page as the borough.\u201cWe\u2019re a little worried,\u201d the borough president said, \u201cThey\u2019re given a theme, but when you give a theme to an artist, what you get isn\u2019t necessarily a picture of somebody in history.\u201d Price offered the example of the art installation at the Queen Street Gateway on the corner of Queen and Massaw-ippi Streets.When the sculpture was installed, the black metal cut out images stood in very low contrast with their surroundings, making the images hard to see from most angles.The city was eventually able to install translucent plastic in the open spaces to make the images more readable, but to do so they had to negotiate for close to a year with the artist, because the change compromised his original vision Serge Malenfant, president of the MURIRS public art collective who organize the annual conference, explained that the theme for the 2015 gathering will be that of \u201ccommunity\u201d inspired by what he called the \u201ctangible energy\u201d of the people in Lennoxville.\u201cThe idea is that the artists will all use something that comes to them out of that community to make their art,\u201d Malenfant said, stating that the works will be balanced between guidelines and points of reference provided for the artists, and the creators\u2019 own inspiration on the matter.The murals will be made by ten different artists; three from other countries, three from across Canada, and three from the local community, with the final one being contributed by MURIRS itself.While the ten works created at the 2014 symposium have each been displayed separately along King Street East in Fleurimont, the Lennoxville murals will be presented in clusters.Four will be placed on the wall of AFT opposite Global Excel on the south end of town, three will be placed on the open wall at 111 Queen, in the green space alongside the Saint Francis Manor, and three more will be installed on the northern wall of the building housing the Lennoxville florist, facing the Provigo parking lot.Malenfant said that the groupings will not be collaborative works, but that the murals will be matched such that they are interesting to look at together.Whether that matching comes because of colour, content, or contrasts remains to be determined.Though the mural project new murals and symposium were voted on favourably at Monday night\u2019s city council meeting, the matter did raise a few other concerns from local councillors.Hélène Dauphinais of Fleurimont expressed that she is fond of the murals in general, but does not see the smaller works produced by last year\u2019s symposium as having the same appeal as the larger \u201ctrompe d\u2019oeil\u201d works that Sherbrooke is known for.Jacques-Cartier councillor Pierre Tardif also raised concerns over the maintenance cost of the murals, pointing out that the more of them that there are, the more needs to be spent to keep them in good shape.To the former point, Destination Sherbrooke president Remi Demers suggested that the groupings planned in Lennoxville might help increase the impact of the new artworks.Price, meanwhile, responded to Tardif by saying that the maintenance costs are not to be ignored, but pointing out that the fact that the smaller murals are mounted on the walls, rather than painted directly onto them, means that maintenance will be simpler and less expensive, overall.The project has been budgeted to cost the city $175,000.Gordon Lambie can be reached at glambie@sherbrookerecord.com Paving closes bike path section Record Staff Sherbrooke The City of Sherbrooke is advising the public that paving work is being carried out today on an approximately 350-metre-long stretch of the Magog South axis of the Grandes-Fourches bike path network, between Lucien-Blan- chard Park and Sainte-Thérèse Street.The work will require the closure of this section from 8 a.m.to 5 p.m.today.A bypass will guide cyclist onto a slight detour through Roy and Pacific streets before rejoining the designated path.The city encourages users to take extra caution in this area.

People can get to know each other over a common task, one that is really universal, regardless of the what culture they come from.It is easy to get to know someone in a garden.What a great cure for loneliness.I have been perusing statistics on loneliness in North America.Turns out loneliness is on the rise.Duke University researchers report that, between 1985 and 2004, the number of confidants with whom the average person discussed personal and important matters dropped from three to two, and the number of people who said there was no one with whom they discussed impor- tant matters tripled.Individuals without a single confidant now make up nearly a quarter of those surveyed.One researcher defined loneliness as \u201csocial pain\u201d, and likens it to physical pain in terms of the amount of distress and suffering it causes.We are \u201cwired\u201d for connection, and being alone is actually considered an unnatural condition.Jesus taught on many subjects, but one of the issues closest to his heart was the plight of \u201cthe widow, the orphan, the prisoner, and the stranger\u201d, which I propose is a listing of the lonely and isolated.An important outworking of the Christian faith is the consideration of those who are alone, on the margins of society, who lack the resources available to everyone else.It flows from the idea that all people have fundamental value and worth for no other reason than that God loves them and they are made in His image.And how telling that it all started in a garden! Do come join us at Foundations for Farming on Queen St, in Lennoxville.Come work in the garden with us, and share the wonderful produce that emerges at the other end.The weekly Tea in the Garden starts up next Wednesday, June 24 from 9:30-11 a.m.Come along and see the garden, ask questions and meet some new people.You are welcome.Bromptonville Cont\u2019d from Page 1 not feel that they are being heard will be disengaged from municipal politics and community building.Pierre Meese, speaking on behalf of the Group Against the Disappearance of Brompton, personally thanked those councillors who spoke against the reform and said that despite the loss, the group would not be going away.Instead, he said, the Group Against the Disappearance of Brompton would continue to work as an advocacy group for the people of the district.Mayor Bernard Sévigny responded to Moreau\u2019s concerns regarding status by pointing out that the status granted to Brompton is a unique and unprecedented suspension of electoral revision, based on temporary protections offered to two other regions in the province.He said that Pierre Moreau, Minister of Municipal Affairs, had sought to amend the reform act to give such a status for only 10 years, and said it was only through the interventions that that time limit was removed.Regarding her concern that a future council could have the status revoked, he admitted that it was true, but said he could only Sutton - Cont\u2019d from Page 1 Citizens can only object to sections of the bylaws which would affect them directly.For example, a resident living in \u201cZone 3\u201d can oppose an item in the bylaw that affects that zone, calling for a register.Anyone living in the zone, or one adjacent to that zone, with the potential of being affected, can also participate in the register.The process essentially divides the town with the potential for countless separate referendums.\u201cPeople might not agree with one thing, but as a whole, we (referring to the entire council and also Réal Girard) feel we\u2019ve brought a positive change to the municipality of Sutton,\u201d Dandenault said.speak for the present council.\u201cI cannot see the future,\u201d Sévigny told Moreau.\u201cNothing is permanent in politics.\u201d The mayor responded to Meese by emphasizing that, in his view, \u201ccommunity\u201d exists outside of legal status, and that the community of Brompton existed before the borough, and will continue to exist after it.On the other side of the discussion, Fleurimont councillor Danielle Berthold took the opportunity to praise Bergeron for what she considered to be commendable and respectful behavior throughout the process, despite her disagreement with the matter at hand.Council President Serge Paquin made a similar statement on a broader level, emphasizing that he felt the conduct of the council on the matter had always been professional, even at times when the debate had become emotional.Price also made a rare use of the period for personal remarks to voice fears he heard from the residents of Lennoxville on Friendship Day this past Saturday regarding Moreau\u2019s ability to revoke bilingual status.He pointed out that the law only requires that a community\u2019s population be less than 50 per cent Anglophone, while Lennoxville currently sits at 53 per cent.\u201cIf they would consider students with leases, we\u2019d be 65 per cent English,\u201d Price said, arguing that the issue is tied to the death of the long-form census.The census, he said, provided information that is vital to communities, and without it the statistics necessary to defend the status are hard to acquire.In response to those concerns, Mayor Sévigny recalled the city\u2019s support of the Union of Municipalities of Quebec opposition of Bill 14, the former PQ legislation that would have made it easier to revoke bilingual status.Price seemed calmed by the reassurance, pointing out that any decision to revoke the status would first have to pass at the council level where, at least for now, Lennoxville\u2019s distinct identity in the city seems to be valued.Gordon Lambie can be reached at glambie@sherbrookerecord.com «THE* RECORD \u201cThe only English daily newspaper in the Eastern Townships\u201d For a 7-day free trial online, go to: www.sherbrookerecord.com, click on e-edition, then click on Free Trial and fill in the information.You will receive confirmation that your online subscription is activated.THERE FOR YOU 24-HOURS A DAY, 7-DAYS A WEEK, WHEREVER YOU ARE!

been a very interesting week in Canadian politics as Parliament prepares to break for the summer leading up to a general election this fall.Gilles Duceppe is back on the scene after a brief stint in the wilderness, the Liberals under Justin Trudeau are beginning to regret their leader\u2019s mitigated support for the increasingly unpopular rights-stripping Bill C-51, and the NDP under Thomas Mulcair are not just holding on to the support they received under the late Jack Layton\u2019s Orange Wave.Unlike the usual doldrums that usually accompany a summer recess, this summer promises to be replete with political theatrics, wild promises, and cynical opportunism.Busy playing the role of international statesman with questionable allies like Ukraine, Prime Minster Stephen Harper has been largely in the background as the homegrown issues he likes to ignore have taken centre stage in the national \u2014 or at least national media \u2014 consciousness.The Duffy trial, the future of the Senate, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report, and the Supreme Court rejection of some of his key policies have driven the PM to foreign lands where, usually, his gladhanding and tough posture guarantee positive coverage.Not this time, however, as the usual antics have been superseded by domestic issues and even his anti-terror campaign is beginning to lose its sheen.He\u2019s finally been convinced to take part in an all-party debate this summer, but it can\u2019t be one he\u2019s looking forward to.In response, his government is currently wasting time and money introducing legislation that will die with the Parliament, with no hope of being adopted.Pandering to his social-conservative base, these are in fact campaign promises that should be taken with the grain of salt his record in these matters have earned him.For poor Prince Justin, things have gone from not-so-good to worse.Hoping to draw some support from small-c conservatives by endorsing the anti-terror bill with the promise of eliminating some of its most worrisome aspects after his election, Trudeau appeared wishy-washy to the intended audience and treacherous to many of his own.He has lost key candidates as a result and his standing in the polls has dropped to second runner-up as a result.A recent promise to introduce proportional representation appears last-minute and desperate at this point, as left-of centre voters begin to look at the NDP\u2019s Mulcair as a serious candidate for the nation\u2019s highest honour.The recent victory of his Alberta counterparts in God\u2019s well-oiled country, has given him a national boost that has not yet begun to waver, and his Orange Wave stronghold in Quebec appears to holding, despite the messianic return of Gilles Duceppe in an attempt to revive the moribund, archaic Bloc Québécois.As for the latter, his return to the stage has been spectacularly less than spectacular.Accompanied by a small boost in the polls on the announcement of his resurrection, the shine almost immediately disappeared as his most notable public statement took the form of almost stereotypical whining about not being taken seriously enough.No one took that seriously.For Mr.Mulcair, things are looking pretty good indeed and, if he can hold his legendary crankiness in check, he currently looks as if he could very well be in a position to form the next government.His recent promise to abolish the Senate, based on the country\u2019s widespread disgust with some of that body\u2019s members\u2019 avarice and pettiness, is perhaps a little foolhardy, given the lack of consensus on the issue among the provincial governments \u2014 a concession necessary in order to modify the Constitution to make it possible \u2014 but doesn\u2019t appear to be the kind of trip-up that will actually bring him down.If the current dissatisfaction with Harper \u2014 and the disappointment with Justin \u2014 hold, another Orange Wave could be in the

unthinkable possible.As for our \u201cfearless leader,\u201d the stage has never looked so bleak.His traditional talking points have become tired and are delivered half-heartedly, while opposition to his remaking of the country continues to grow and remain solid.The loss of key cabinet ministers and veteran MPs keeps bringing up images of rodents fleeing an inundated vessel and is only adding to the government\u2019s apparent fatigue and loss of enthusiasm.It can\u2019t be easy being that hated, that often, and the strain is beginning to show.There are, of course, several months remaining before Canadians actually go to the polls and anything is possible in what is essentially a very long time in politics, but the momentum appears to be abandoning the Harperites and their never-ending deceit, science denial, and hyperactive bombast.A lot, of course, will depend on a national debate, where both Justin and Tom will have the opportunity to allay \u2014 or confirm \u2014 any concerns we might have as to their suitability to lead the country.Mr.Harper\u2019s leadership abilities \u2014 never really in doubt \u2014 may not be as helpful as they have in the past as more and more Canadians become disenchanted as to where they want to lead us.It should be fun.Letters Dear Editor: On behalf of the Friendship Day Committee I would like to thank everyone who helped make last

on the Bishop\u2019s campus, Magog native Nicolas Boulay has worked hard to maintain his spot for another year.The 6-foot, 220-pound tackle signed with the Alouettes in May 2013 after being drafted in the fourth round (30th overall, by Montreal).In his two seasons with the Als, Boulay has played in 20 games, recording 21 special teams tackles and two fumble recoveries.In December 2014, he signed a two-year contract extension, making him on of the veterans on the team.Boulay has realistic expectations for the coming season.\u201cHonestly my expectations coming into this season was to be able to have some defensive playing time this year,\u201d he said in an interview yesterday, after the Alouettes\u2019 last full practice at Coulter Field.\u201cWe have a great linebacking crew right now that\u2019s in front, but hopefully a package or something that will be in there every now and then to go stir some things up.\u201d Last year, Boulay spent most of his time on special teams, and was one of the Als\u2019 leaders, with 13 special teams tackles, a role he expect to continue.\u201c[I want to] be one of the top taclclers in the league for special teams.I think for right now that is about my plans.\u201d In the off-season the CFL has introduced new rules to create more room for a passing offence and kick returns.As Boulay sees it, the rules add more athleticism to the game.\u201cIt\u2019s going to make the game a little bit more explosive.We\u2019re going to have bigger returns on both sides of the ball, and I think it will make that best players actually come out and make more plays.That\u2019s what is really going to happen.You have to be the better team.\u201d The 26-year-old Magog native was a leader with the University of Sherbrooke in 2012, finishing sixth in the country for tackles with 58.5.Like his fellow former Vert & Or teammate Samuel Giguere, Boulay is happy to have camp so close to home.\u201cEvery year I love it.Being out here.My brother [former Bishop\u2019s Gaiter Mathieu Boulay] came here, I was at Sherbrooke and just to be down in the Sherbrooke area for me is amazing.I love it down here.\u201cI live in Montreal during the season and during the off season.Every time I get the opportunity to come down to ROGERIO BARBOSA - MONTREAL ALOUETTES $ Nicolas Boulay (#52), shown here at the Alouettes\u2019 intrasquad game in St-Hubert, has now become a veteran at the pro level Sherbrooke I do,\u201d Boulay said, one day after football is over \u201cI\u2019m going to move back here that\u2019s for sure.\u201d Aigles\u2019 Beauvais

the Windsor Aigles was named the first star in the Quebec Senior Lacrosse Circuit, as well as being selected as the third star in the Quebec Junior Lacrosse League last week.This is the third time the forward has been honoured in the senior circuit player of the week nods, having previously earned a first star on May 18 and a third star on May 4, and the first time he has been recog- nized by the

the week nod in his rookie season after putting up seven points, including six goals, in the Aigles\u2019 18-6 win over Wendalce.With these points he is now the top scorer in the senior loop with 31 goals and is second in points with 51.In the senior circuit, Vincent Dubreuil, a teammate on the Aigles picked up the second star of the week, while Nicolas Pouliot, the East Angus Wolfs goalkeeper who earned his first victory of the season last Saturday in their surprise upset of the Laval Milice, was third star.In the Junior league, Beauvais\u2019 third star came after a six-point performance, including three goals.He is currently fourth in points in the junior league with 30.Robin Boutin of the Sherbrooke Extreme picked up the player of the week nod in the Junior league after picking up seven goals and four assists in his two games during the last weekend.Boutin will not be able to repeat the feat this week, as he will begin serving a two-game suspension for getting into his second fight of the season, tangling with Marc-Antoine Houde of the Longueuil Patriotes on Sunday.Boutin\u2019s teammate, Xavier Perron, was awarded the second star of the week for his 12 point performance

The society is a great investment of time, energy and money as it all goes back to our community.\u201d Everyone is invited to a grand opening ceremony of the new location on Saturday, Aug.22 from 2 to 4 p.m.Everyone is invited to take this opportunity to be part of the activities and photo at this historic event.As for the RCHS, we expect that the manse will serve as our home for a good long time to come.The museum at 1296 Rte.243 opened in 1968, meaning it has served us for almost half a century.Although the archives have been moved to the new location, the artifacts remain at the current museum, which will be open Wednesday to Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m., from July 1 to Aug.9.Everyone is invited to visit and view the special Scottish heritage exhibit.Submitted by Beverly Taber Smith RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 400 per word.Minimum charge $10.00 ($11.50 taxes included) Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off With photo: additional $18.50.DEADLINE: 11 a.m., day before publication.BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY & GET-WELL WISHES, ENGAGEMENT NOTICES: Text only: $16.00 (includes taxes) With photo: $26.00 ($29.90 taxes included) DEADLINE: 3 days before publication.WEDDING WRITE-UPS: $26.00 ($29.90 taxes included) WITH PHOTO: $36.00 ($41.40 taxes included) Please Note: All of the aforementioned (except death notices) must be submitted typewritten or neatly printed, and must include the signature and daytime telephone number of the contact person.Can be e-mailed to: clas-sad@sherbrookerecord.com - They will not be taken by phone.DEADLINES FOR DEATH NOTICES: For Monday\u2019s paper, call 819-569-4856 between 1 p.m.and 5 p.m.Sunday.For Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday\u2019s edition, call 819-569-4856 or fax 819-569-1187 (please call to confirm transmission) ore-mail: production@sherbrookerecord.com between 9 a.m.and 5 p.m.the day prior to the day of publication.The Record cannot guarantee publication if another Record number is called.Rates: Please call for costs.

lover\u2019s lane holding his own hand.\u201d That\u2019s sad, and in bridge we have suit holdings that sometimes leave players feeling lonely.In today\u2019s deal, South is in three no-trump.How should he walk the walk after West leads the heart nine?Note that a nine lead is always top of nothing, unless you use coded leads, when a 10 or a nine shows zero or two higher cards and would be either top of nothing or from a suit headed by Q-10-9, K-10-9 or A-10-9.South\u2019s sequence indicates a balanced hand with a good 22 to 24 points.North raises to three no-trump, expecting his partner to waltz home.However, it is preferable to have 15 points opposite 14, instead of 23 opposite 6.With the points more evenly divided, moving between the two hands is much easier.South starts with seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs.From where will two more winners come?It will have to be diamonds \u2014 but how?West\tNorth\t06-17-15 4 8 5 2 y A Q ?\t6 5 3 2

2*\tPass 2¥\tPass 2NT\tPass 3NT\tAll Pass Opening lead: ¥ 9\t If declarer leads low to his jack, he wins when East holds the king and queen.But if South plays low to his nine, then low to his jack, he succeeds when East has the king-10 or queen-10, two holdings instead of one.That is clearly the right approach.Also, because declarer must lead diamonds twice from the dummy, he has to win the first trick with the heart queen.Then, after his diamond nine loses to West\u2019s queen, South takes the next heart with dummy\u2019s ace, plays a diamond to East\u2019s 10 and his own jack, and
