ANN DAVIDSON Serge Wagner of the Bolton Heritage Association.has been planning several events and activities to keep his memory alive.Academic, historian and anthropologist, Serge Wagner, says that thanks to an $18,000 grant from the Canadian Heritage Foundation, his organization has been able to highlight Lieutenant-Colonel \u201cHarry\u201d Baker\u2019s life and accomplishments.The group, along with the BCHS Museum in Knowlton and the Sherbrooke Historical Society, will be presenting facets of Baker\u2019s military and personal life and the 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles Regiment that he founded and led to the front of World War I.Most people have already heard about the exhibit at the BCHS Museum commemorating 100 years since World War I when Baker, a Sweetsburg lawyer who had been elected Member of Parliament and who is remembered as the only Canadian parliamentarian who died in action.He is remembered for his efforts in forming the first mounted rifle regiment that was comprised of mostly Townshippers he had recruited.Though he died in June 1916 at the Battle of Mount Sorrel in Ypres, the resident of Sweetsburg who summered at his home called Glenmeare on Baker Pond in East Bolton, is also remembered for his \u201ccharge\u201d horse, Morning Glory, who was repatriated to Canada after the war and is now buried on the land he loved so much in East Bolton.Wagner especially wants people to know about the two lectures being given by Jim Manson at the Holy Trinity Church in South Bolton on July 10 and August 14, each to be held at 1:30 p.m.Manson has done substantial research on Baker\u2019s life.The first lecture, entitled Cont\u2019d on page 7 II5SAN pressjjm^/j Printed and distributed by PressReader Pres^R e a d er \u2022 Jj o\t?oRia+i1(ji ü ÜL.LZ COPYRIGHT AMD PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW 1 LOCATION -

Documentaries bring meaning to challenges of aboriginal people By Ann Davidson Amidst the exhibitions, demonstrations, and live performances, the month-long Aboriginal Arts Festival in Georgeville featured several compelling documentary films that clearly showcased the majesty of the northern landscape along with the challenges of Canada\u2019s first people who are trying to sustain their cultural identity in this rapidly changing world.In particular, one of the movies, \u201cOkpik\u2019s Dream,\u201d written and directed by neophyte film maker Laura Rietveld, is a gut-wrenching, heart-warming story about a man and his sled dogs.It highlights his own personal tragedies, including being sent away from family to an ill-reputed residential school, and then later from adapting to life after a serious accident.The award winning film is centred on the life of 62-year-old Harry Sam Willy Okpik, whose only dream to become a dog-musher was crushed by two major events in his life.Often mistaken for a wolf, the sled dog, or Qimmiq, Canadian Inuit dog, Canadian Eskimo dog or Canadian husky, have been an integral part of Inuit survival for thousands of years.Using Harry Okpik as an example, the film demonstrates the impact on the Inuit in particular during the years be- tween 1950 and 1970 when the federal and provincial governments tried to facilitate the assimilation of First Nations and Inuit cultures while taking away the semi-nomadic Inuit\u2019s traditional method of transport and means for hunting, caribou, seals, and whales.The mission of the governments was to see he people live in permanent settlements.It is alleged that the RCMP and the Quebec provincial government brutally slaughtered thousands of huskies, an act notoriously known as the \u201cDog Slaughter.\u201d Other contributing factors to the near extinction of the husky breed were the increasing popularity of snowmobiles as well as untreated canine diseases.Some dog owners and their families were left without a means of sustenance.Progress of the reintegration of the breed and the Inuit tradition of mushing can now be attributed to Ivakkak, the annual 600-km race from Hudson\u2019s Bay to Ungava Bay as seen in Okpik\u2019s Dream while Harry Okpik prepares to participate in it.Okpik recounts the evolution of change in a blend of stunning photography and videography directed by Alexandre Domingue, traditional throat singing by Sylvie Cloutier, and music performed by Jaaji Okpik, which held the audience riveted to their seats.What ANN DAVIDSON Laura Rietveld, right, writer and director of Okpik\u2019s Dream, was present at one of a number of screenings during Georgeville\u2019s first Aboriginal Arts Festival.Louise Abbott, coordinator of the festival and photo-journalist/videographer, at left, and in centre, Pépita Ferrari, film maker and executive director for the Documentary Organization of Canada who inspired Rietveld to pursue her interest in film making.followed the screening was a lively discussion with the young screenwriter.With a strong desire to explore thought-provoking, socially relevant stories, Rietveld says that she gave up her successful corporate career in media sales and publishing after taking a series of workshops in 2011 called The Art of Writing for Documentary: From Idea to Proposal.The program was offered through the Quebec Writers\u2019 Federation and animated by Fulford resident Pépita Ferrari, an accomplished documentary filmmaker and executive director of Documentary Organization of Canada.Until that point Rietveld had been an MBA graduate with a promising and successful corporate career in media sales and publishing.Only three years from that time when Cont\u2019d on page 4 Tour des Arts features two new members By Olivia Ranger-Enns At this 28th edition of the Tour des Arts, an art festival wherein visitors learn more about the techniques and know-how of local artists residing in the Eastern Townships, discover the world of two new members: Diane Guilbault and Naomi Pearl.Diane Guilbault is no stranger to exploration or adventure, having thrown herself body and soul into the often merciless world of abstract realism painting.Working with acrylic paints, brushes and spatulas, Guilbault likes to pay homage to both nature and to city landscapes in her work.\u201cI love the country just as much as I love the city,\u201d said Guilbault, who has resided in a number of different cities.Although she hails from St-Hyacinthe, a city in southwestern Quebec situated on the Yamaska River, Guilbault now divides her time between a pied-a-terre in Montreal and a house perched on the flanks of the Sutton mountain.\u201cI\u2019ve always loved to ski,\u201d shared Guilbault.\u201cThe beauty of nature has always intrigued me, but then so have large bustling cities like New York.\u201d At the age of six, Guilbault discovered her passion for art.She began to dabble and perfect her talents at drawing at college and at university.\u201cI always liked to draw characters,\u201d she said.\u201cI\u2019d observe people waiting for the elevator, that kind of thing.But slowly, my interests in that regard changed.\u201d Today, Guilbault digs deeper and deeper into the world of abstract realism, painting natural landscapes that are dotted by bright splotches of color like fire-red trucks or canary yellows.Whereas some paintings evoke calmness and serenity, such as a lakeside view or a field of poppies, others pay homage to the fiery oranges and reds of a Quebec autumn or to the misty greys of a Quebec winter.\u201cAbstract painting is fun in that you don\u2019t have to all agree on what you see in a painting,\u201d argued Guilbault.By pushing herself further to explore the limits and boundaries of abstract painting, Guilbault allows herself to discover new, exciting forms and new geometrical shapes in her work.Guilbault is not shy to play with color.Some natural landscapes are painted in soothing green tones whereas others tackle soft pastel hues that contrast nicely with dribbles of paint and zigzagging lines that dominate Guilbault\u2019s canvases.This is the first time that Guilbault is taking part in the Tour des Arts, opening up a new chapter in her career as a painter.\u201cMy partner and I are both artists, and we are usually solitary people, preferring to work solo.That being said, I love people and I\u2019m excited 'cemvei OLIVIA RANGER-ENNS Naomi Pearl\u2019s bowls can also be found at Le Comptoir de Marchand de Thé in

I hope that you will keep these in mind as to not have to start back at point zero by the time fall gets here.This month, let\u2019s talk about trying something new, something different, something out of our comfort zone.For those who read my articles or follow me on my social media, you are aware that in just over a week I will be heading to Costa Rica to try and get my yoga certification.Some would say \u201cBig deal, its yoga!\u201d Others, \u201cYou\u2019re crazy!\u201d What you need to realize is that for me yoga happens to be a challenge.I was introduced to it two years ago by a friend, but only started practicing in February of this year \u2014 one month after giving birth to Princess Sofia.First, I had to listen to my body, as it had just gone through tremendous changes.Second, I had to try to kick my ego out of my mind \u2014 that sucker is one loudmouth, even louder than me! Third, ADHD and yoga, owwlahlah! The point, life is not meant to just follow rules and regulations, work to pay bills, and then die.Life is meant to help us grow and become the best version of us that we can be.We go through events \u2014 good or bad, to experience new things.We learn our lessons \u2014 hopefully \u2014 along our journey.Each situation was carefully put in front of us as an opportunity to advance or improve our current self.I cannot say that I am religious, but I am spiritual.And have noticed that God or the creator \u2014 whomever you prefer to believe in \u2014 only gives us what he thinks we can handle or at least learn from.Every situation has a good or bad side depending on the angle we look at it from.For example, let\u2019s say you work at a job that you dislike.This could be because of the actual task, the people with whom you work, the pay, the schedule.At first you complain, but eventually everything about it pisses you off.One day, you get a pink slip, you get let go.First instinct \u201cWhy me, I\u2019m the best at that position.\u201d Wake up; you were just given an opportunity to change the situation that was making you unhappy.Some would see it as incredibly bad luck, others as a blessing.To get back to: me, Costa Rica, and yoga.I live to live.Let me repeat that for you \u201cI live to live!\" Over the years I\u2019ve noticed that if I stay put in a specific place for too long I get bored, I get cranky, and nothing seems to flow.Like in almost anything in life stagnation is not a good thing.When it seems that all events are negative or bring bad luck, that\u2019s God\u2019s way to tell you wake up and smell the coffee, or roses! As for me, I avoid the wakeup call like the plague, haha! I plan change in advance.I pick something hard, but in line with what my heart calls for.Then I figure out how I can make it all happen.Don\u2019t get me wrong, most of these events are crazy, expensive, and time consuming.But they are all worth my time and effort.I always meet new people, change my views, learn to appreciate my en- vironment, be grateful and thankful for all that I have because these events, made me, change me, and continually evolve me.This yoga retreat is a 200 hours course given in four weeks.Some say that I have balls to leave everything behind for that long, not taking care of what is important here at home \u2014 clients, kids.Truth is, I am taking care of me! I am worth the time that I give myself to grow.I believe that I\u2019ve always done my best to help others get where they need to be, sometimes physically, but also mentally and emotionally.Yoga isn\u2019t only about Asana\u2019s (postures/exercise), it\u2019s a very complex practice that involves many levels, like breathing techniques and meditation.This journey has taken quite a fair share of my time and money.Fortunately, soon I\u2019ll know a little more \u2014 hopefhlly a lot more \u2014 and will be able to share my new found knowledge with the people I care about.I guess it\u2019s a little selfish, but not really if you take a deeper look into the motive.Yes, the plan is to improve me, but the bonus is that I will be able to help you get to an even higher place than I could before.I will have one more tool in my tool belt.Man, my tool belt is getting heavy, whew! OK, let\u2019s wrap this up.I wish for you to wake up and notice all the signs that life is sending you.What are the events, situations and opportunity that are being unveiled to you?Are you learning your lesson, or are you simply redoing the same mistake over and over again?Are you stuck in a negative environment and if so, why?What can you do to get out or change the situation?Listen to me now! \u201cYou are a wonderful human being with tons of potential.Start moving forward towards a bigger, better version of the current you.It will not always be easy, but trust me when I say.It will be well worth your time and effort!\u201d I\u2019ll be back \u2014 maybe \u2014 by Brome Fair to help you get to a better place, if you can trust me enough to get you there.Until then, please have a great and fantastic summer.No complaining about the heat, heck it only lasts three months.Please keep in mind that Internet connection is not so great where I\u2019ll be, I may not reply to e-mails, but you can still get tons of free workout programs from my YouTube channel\there www.youtube.com/physikin-action please take full advantage of the free info.If you choose to schedule an appointment with me in September please write me at physikinaction@gmail.com or call 450-243-4162 Lots of love, Coach Cat xox \"CANADIAN Make a donation reoctoss or become a volunteer QMÏBCC\t \t \t l\t1\t santé et au t> i être I'MwflCTIOn Here's to hea Ï} Ith and ?11 being Catherine St-Pierre, B.Sc.Kinésiologue 63 Monte Carle, Knowlton, QC JOE 1V0 CALL: 450-243-4162\t(855) 312-2692 CENTRE DENTAIRE Caillé & Tremblay < New Patients are Welcome 485, ch Knowlton Knowlton Qc JOE 1V0 T.450-243-5591 Dre Julie Tremblay, D.M.D Dentiste Dre Danielle Caillé, D.M.D Dentiste 753, rue Principale Cowansville Qc J2K 1J8 T.450-266-2429 E 450-266-1830 Since 1935, because we care! % www.santecourville.com Quality nursing care 24/7 Respectful and caring staff Secure environment, fully equipped facility Spacious rooms with private toilets Home like environment & daily activities Santé Courville proudly serving the Haute-Yamaska, Brome-Missisquoi and Memphrémagog regions We provide nourishing and tasty homemade meals, while maintaining a dietary schedule for each resident based on their individual requirements as determined by a registered dietician.Special events such as holidays and birthdays may be celebrated with a party in a room reserved for this purpose.Activities are varied and carefully planned to fill the needs of all residents.We respect the individual choices of our residents, which helps maintain their dignity and enjoy life in our \u201cextended family.\u201d Maintaining open communications, updating conditions as needed and responding to concerns of the family are priority.With the goal of care and comfort we specialise in short and long term care.Beautifully maintained exterior environment compliments the calm neighbourhood settings of our Center.Family and friends are welcome to visit.For more information please give us a call, visit our website, or check us out on Facebook.5305 Courville Avenue, Waterloo, QC JOE 2N0 (450) 539-1821 J nd distributed by PressReader.com ?+1 604 HD PROTECTED BY y PressReaderN S04 2J8 4604 APPLICABLE LAW J page 6 Tuesday, July 5, 2016 Call Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: classad@sherbrookerecord.com OR Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 A.M.and 4:00 P.M.Brome County N CLASSIFIED Deadline: 1 p.m.Monday Or mail your prepaid classified ads to 5-B Victoria St., Knowlton, Quebec JOE 1V0 The Record, 1195 Galt St.E., Sherbrooke, Quebec JIG 1Y7 001 Property for Sale 095 Career Training CANCEL YOUR TIMESHARE.No risk program.Stop mortgage and maintenance payments today.100% money back guarantee.Free consultation.Call us now.We can help! 1-888-356-5248.035 For Rent KNOWLTON LARGE, SUNNY, CLEAN, 4 1/2 ($575) available immediately & 3 1/2 ($475) on main floor.Suitable for quiet, non-smoking couple.Near lake.References required.Call 1-416-533-1440.100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities Due to recent expansion Knowlton House has job opportunities for the following positions AUXILIARY NURSES Hold DEP in Health and Nursing Assistance Active member of I\u2019OIIAQ NURSE AIDES D.E.P./certification and / or experience would be an asset FOR BOTH POSITIONS \u2022\tCommunication oral and written in French and English \u2022\tFull time position - evenings / nights \u2022\tFull time position - nights / 8 shifts per 2 weeks \u2022\tCompetitive salary \u2022\tUniform allowance Fax CV to (450) 243-6465 Send by e-mail to: reception@maisonknowltonhouse.com Drop CV at residence: 401 chemin Knowlton, Knowlton QC JOE 1V0 Tel.: (450)-242-1621 155 Travel 440 Miscellaneous Death Death INTERIOR HEAVY EQUIPMENT Operator School.Hands-on tasks.Start weekly.GPS training.Funding and housing available.Job aid.Already HEO?Get certification proof!
