The City points out that the choice of new names for boroughs # 1 and # 4 was made with the help of the public by means of a recent online survey.The proposed choices had also been the subject of consultation with the public who had been invited to submit proposals.

New Sherbrooke regulation requires shoreline restoration by October 2019 Record Staff SHERBROOKE The City of Sherbrooke has adopted new regulations requiring property owners to restore the banks of local waterways to a natural state by October of next year.In order to maintain healthy ecosystems, shorelines must be restored over a distance of five meters for gently sloping land and 7.5 meters on steeply sloping banks.Approximately 3,500 landowners whose properties are crossed or bordered by a waterway will have to comply with the new regulations.Initially, the new rules required the completion of the natural restoration of shorelines by October 31 of this year but the City Council has agreed to postpone the deadline a year so that property owners have two summers to comply.The natural restoration of shoreline forces owners to stop cutting grass along the water\u2019s edge and to plant native species adapted to shoreline conditions so as to cover the entire area of the artificial shore.This planting work requires a municipal authorization certificate that is issued free of charge.The City of Sherbrooke will undertake several actions to support property owners in their efforts to revegetate their shorelines.Most owners affected by the new regulations will receive an automated phone call, followed by a letter and a guide in mail in the coming weeks.This detailed guide explains the regulations and gives planting tips.It can also be consulted online at sherbrooke.ca/rives.At this same address, Sherbrookers find a lot of relevant information (in French), including an interactive waterway management map that locates and identifies waterways on their property.In addition, the City will distribute plants to property owners.Each owner affected by the new regulation will be eligible to receive a tree and four or five shrubs free of charge.The distribution of these will take place on two Saturdays, May 26 and June 2, from 9 a.m.to noon, at the Jean-Charles-Côté Centre, at 555 Grandes-Fourches St.South.This activity will be combined with training workshops and information booths for homeowners.\"I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019m saying it again: I have the protection of the environment at heart,\u201d said Mayor Steve Lussier.\u201dThe natural restoration of our shoreline will require some effort on the part of the owners, but we will do our utmost to help them improve our waterways so that the entire Sherbrooke community benefits.\" Wednesday , May 16, 2018 Page 3 \"I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019m saying it again: I

Lennoxville community is mourning following the news that longtime volunteer firefighter and community barber Terry Beattie has died.A familiar face behind the grill on Friendship Day or serving up pie in one of the bays of the Lennoxville fire station at the annual Harvest Festival, Beattie was a consummate Lennoxville personality and a key player in the local community.\u201cTerry was a wonderful guy,\u201d said George Martel, who fought fires alongside Beattie for decades.\u201cHe was always a real helping hand for the association,\u201d the retired firefighter added, speaking of the Lennoxville Volunteer Firefighters\u2019 Association and the work they continue to do in the community.Martel said that he and Beattie spent a lot of time together through their work on the fire department, but shared that their friendship also included time spent in the barber\u2019s chair.Former Lennoxville Mayor David Price called the local fire department Beattie\u2019s \u201csecond family\u201d and, like Martel, praised Beattie\u2019s work on local events.\u201cHe was involved in everything,\u201d said Price, noting that the former firefighter was a humble helper.\u201cTerry never liked to be in the spotlight,\u201d he added.Price remembered Beattie as a lifelong friend and said that it had been hard to know that his health was failing.\u201cWe went to school together,\u201d the former mayor said, \u201cI\u2019ve known him all my life.\u201d Beattie retired from his firefighting duties in the summer of 2011 and stepped back from the barber\u2019s chair in the summer of 2015.Later that same year he was immortalized by local painter Denis Palmer, who painted him into a mural commemorating the Beat- tie barbers of Lennoxville as a part of a local mural festival.That artwork has been on display since that time on the side of 111 Queen Street.In response to a post on Facebook Monday night about Beattie\u2019s death by local production company Firehouse Productions, people from all parts of the community have shared memories and thoughts of a man who was kind, caring, appreciated by all who knew him, and who will clearly be missed.\u201cHe was involved in everything,\u201d said Price, noting that the former firefighter was a humble helper.\u201cTerry never liked to be in the spotlight,\u201d he added.RECORD ARCHIVES City ecocentre distributing inexpensive wood chips Record Staff The City of Sherbrooke is offering the public the opportunity to purchase wood chips at a reduced cost at the Michel-Ledoux Ecocentre.Beginning today, May 15, until mid- October, those interested must make an appointment with the staff of the Michel-Ledoux ecocentre (819-822-6010).The distribution will be held Tuesdays to Thursdays between 7:45 a.m.and 2:30 p.m.A fee of $5 per visit will be collected (direct payment only: credit or debit), regardless of the quantity carried.Each person has 45 minutes to gather their chips and must have a trailer, bags or containers to transport them.The City does not allow the use of motorized equipment for loading, but does provide shovels and rakes.Fragmented ramial wood is a mixture of shredded residue from fresh wood twigs and the young branches of several species reduced to chips.It is used for a number of purposes, including mulch in horticulture.It also reduces water requirements and minimizes weeding. The \u201cmain man\u201d, Homer While the animal rescue world can be extremely stressful and emotional for Jen Young, founder of The Pet Connection, a not- for-profit animal rescue and sanctuary, it does come with beautiful moments and beautiful stories.Stories of animals once abandoned and unloved, who went on and found true companionship with humans who not only take their responsibility as a pet owner seriously, but humans who love and depend on their pets as much as their animal depends on them.In its\u2019 8 years of existence, Young says there are many stories of the like, and one of them, is the story of Homer and his humans, Samantha and Scott.A story of an older cat and his younger humans who love each other unconditionally.\u201cHomer was one of the very first animals, in the very beginnings of The Pet Connection, that we tried to help,\u201d said Young.\u201cHe was older, eight years old, so not many people expressed any interest in giving him a good home.He was so very very lucky that his present humans saw him, loved him and wanted to give him a home to call his own.\u201d According to Lennoxville native Samantha LePoidevin, Homer has been her \u201cmain man\u201d for the past 8 years and she treasures all of her time with him.\u201cWe adopted him April 2011,\u201d she recalls.\u201cMy boyfriend, Scott (now husband) wanted a kitten and kept begging me for one.I wasn't ready for a pet commitment quite as long term so met him in the middle and said we could adopt a mature cat.As soon as I told my mom, she told me to come meet Homer.I was as taken with him as she was and I brought him home.\u201d Young says, thankfully Samantha\u2019s mom, Dayna, is a supporter of the cause and when she saw Homer at The Pet Connection, she told her daughter right away.Once Homer was home, with Scott and Samantha was where he was meant to be and the past eight years has brought all of them many adventures.\u201cHe has always come to his name, we taught him to sit and shake paws,\u201d Samantha says.\u201cHe loves to be the little spoon and sleeps on our bed just about every night.He loves being brushed.He only walks on the pavement, hates grass.He lived with me at 2 different apartments in Montreal and we moved to St.Catherine\u2019s (Niagara Falls) four years ago.I take him on walks around the block and he walks right alongside me like a dog.He is the favourite cat among all of our friends, the first one that gets a hello when anyone comes to visit.He sits on everyone\u2019s lap and purrs so loud he coughs sometimes.He is full of character and couldn\u2019t be more loved.Got us through our 20\u2019s and has always been a great support, shoulder to cry on, and source of laughter.\u201d Three years ago, Homer gave his young owners a big scare.He decided to wonder away from home and he had his owners frantic trying to find him.They put up posters, made numerous phone calls, watched social media like a hawk, they searched and worried for days.Samantha and Scott followed all tips, called all authorities they could and thankfully after two weeks found him.They never gave up and found their Homer over 15 kilometers away.His tag now reads, \u201cI\u2019m old, maybe lost.Call my Mom.\u201d As animals get older, Young says, they can show signs of aging, similar to humans.They can show signs of senility and wonder away from home.Their organs start to function at a lower capacity and they need extra care.Homer, now at 16 years old, has been showing all these signs, and according to Samantha and Scott, every day they have with him is a blessing.\u201cA couple of weeks ago he got sick,\u201d says Samantha.\u201cHe wasn\u2019t able to walk or lift his head.I thought that was it.Suddenly, I realized that he won\u2019t be around forever and I was heartbroken.I took him to the vet and he\u2019s now on potassium supplements and is almost back to normal.It was a harsh reminder that my guy\u2019s getting old.I am truly treasuring our time together now.\u201d While Samantha dreads the idea, she says Homer\u2019s life expectancy is not much longer, but while they have him, they will continue to love him as the treasured family member, confident, best friend, he has been for the past eight years.Young says that when it is time for Homer to leave this world, she knows that Samantha and Scott will be heartbroken, but she hopes that they remember to celebrate.Celebrate what they gave him when no one else wanted to.Celebrate the fact that for 8 years he was given everything and more that a pet deserves.Celebrate that Homer was loved, just as much as he loved them.She says, \u201cIn what I do, I know that so so many never get that chance.Never feel that unconditional love.Never get what Homer was given.And that, deserves to be celebrated.I can say that Homer is one of the luckiest cats I have ever had the privilege of knowing, and I know that he knows as well as I do, how lucky he is that Samantha\u2019s mom saw him at The Pet Connection.\u201d This page is provided by Blue Seal - The Animal Nutrition Centre and The Pet Connection.G R O O M I N G Our professional team\u2019s #1

Rescued Who The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Wednesday , May 16, 2018 Page 5 City continues ?ght against ragweed and Giant Hogweed Record Staff Sherbrooke\u2019s Department of Urban Planning and Sustainable Development submitted its plan for the control of ragweed and another for the eradication of giant hogweed to the City Council Monday night.Ragweed In 2017, the City received a $31,000 grant from the Department of Health and Social Services to implement a partner mobilization plan to fight against ragweed.This grant also resulted in the development of a new informational pamphlet for the public and the training of municipal staff in the Parks and Green Space Division to identify the plant.Every summer since 1997, the City has organized a campaign to detect ragweed in its territory.The goal is to reduce the density of the plant in urban areas, as well as to raise awareness of the public health problems it can cause.During the 2017 campaign, students covered 680 km of roadsides, or 29.2 per cent of the city\u2019s territory.On 120 km of roads with low to high infestations, ragweed harvesting cleared nearly 81 km, mostly in areas of medium to high infestation.Giant Hogweed The Giant Hogweed is native to Asia, but began to show up in Sherbrooke a few years ago.This plant is dangerous because contact with its sap by the skin causes serious burns when the skin is exposed to the sun.The City has awarded a five-year contract to pest management company Acéri-For to carry out a management plan and to begin the eradication of giant hogweed on private land.Interventions were carried out on the nine colonies (1,000 plants) that were found within Sherbrooke\u2019s city limits.These actions will have eliminated many plants.However, an inspection in August showed that new plants are growing due to the presence of seeds in the soil.The eradication activities will continue in 2018.Two pilot projects to fight other invasive species In 2018, the City of Sherbrooke will launch two pilot projects to control or even locally eradicate buckthorn and Japanese knotweed, two plants that are found everywhere in the territory.Both of these plants were introduced to Canada as ornamentals.Glossy Buck- thorn is commonly found in woodlots and forests, while Japanese Knotweed grows mainly along roads and trails.These invasive species pose a significant threat to local biodiversity.(WIKIMEDIA) Giant Hogweed can cause serious burns if it comes into contact with skin.Kidney Foundation holds 12th Sherbrooke Kidney Walk Record Staff SHERBROOKE Kidney disease is on the rise in Quebec.The Kidney Foundation - Quebec Division is organizing its 12th annual Kidney Walk on Sunday, May 27 to support all those living with kidney disease.The number of people undergoing dialysis treatment continues to increase and kidney failure can strike no matter what age or situation one is in.Globally, one in ten people suffer kidney failure.In Quebec, one in fourteen people is affected.In Sherbrooke, it is estimated that more than 1,000 people are affected by kidney failure and over the past two decades, the number of people treated for end-stage renal disease has increased dramatically.Factors such as the aging of the population, as well as an increase in the number of cases of diabetes and high blood pressure, mean that kidney failure continues to gain ground.An important aspect of the fight against kidney disease is the need to improve organ donation rates.For people waiting for a transplant, it is their only hope to find a better quality of life.The Foundation has been advocating for many years for an increasing number of kidney transplants, which is the best treatment for many patients.The latest statistics are encouraging.The waiting list for a cadaveric kidney has greatly diminished to 493 days last year while it stood at 1,220 days in 2012.Despite this improvement, the fact remains that Quebec can do better.As of December 31, 534 people in the province were still waiting to receive a kidney.In an advanced stage of the disease, only dialysis or transplantation can ensure survival.Funds raised during the Kidney Walk will allow thousands of people with kidney disease or who are waiting for a transplant in Quebec to hope for better days.The Foundation focuses on research, but also on innovative services for patients and their families, as well as prevention and early detection.This year\u2019s Sherbrooke Kidney Walk takes place on Sunday, May 27, at the Lu- cien-Bouchard Woods.Walkers should arrive around 9 a.m.for a 10 a.m.departure.Those wishing to register can do so online at marchedurein.ca To raise awareness of kidney disease and the importance of organ donation, the Kidney Walk will be held in 22 Quebec cities, including Sherbrooke, on May 27.But what exactly do you know about the kidneys?It's time to check your knowledge! TRUE OR FALSE: Every hour, our kidneys filter a liter of blood.FALSE! - Our kidneys filter a liter of blood every minute.One of the main functions of the kidneys is to remove waste from the blood and return purified blood to the rest of the body.TRUE OR FALSE: The kidney is one of the organs that can be donated while alive.TRUE - We are born with two kidneys, but the body can live with only one.Anyone in good health can decide to donate a kidney.QUESTION: What is the alternative to dialysis for people with end-stage renal disease?ANSWER -: When the kidneys are functioning at less than 15 per cent of their capacity, only dialysis or transplantation can ensure the patient's survival.TRUE OR FALSE - The success rate of kidney transplants is 85 per cent.TRUE.Overall, the success rate of kidney transplants is very good.The success rate of cadaveric kidney transplants is 85 to 90 per cent in the first year.This means that after one year, 85 to 90 grafted kidneys out of 100 continue to function.TRUE OR FALSE - Money raised during the Kidney Walk will be invested in medical research.TRUE - and more: The money raised will also be used for programs and services for patients and their loved ones to improve their quality of life.Kidneys 101: Test Your Knowledge! Biodiversity survey yields positive results Record Staff SHERBROOKE At the request of the City of Sherbrooke, Nature Cantons-de-l'Est organized its first \u2018Bioblitz\u2019 on September 7 and 8, 2017, carrying out an intensive inventory of living things at Deux-Ruisseaux Park.The objective was to identify the species of fauna and flora in the area and to give a snapshot of local biodiversity.During the exercise, 241 species were identified by the nine experts and the 72 volunteers who took part.Workers identified 19 species of birds, 10 species of mammals, two species of fish, four species of amphibians, 65 species of arthropods, one species of crustaceans, 112 species of plants, and 28 species of mushrooms.Among the species catalogued were maidenhair, ostrich fern, and cardamine diphylla; all plants registered under the Endangered Species Act.This is also the case for the silver-haired bat, that was also detected.Given the positive result, a second Bioblitz survey will be organized on June 8 and 9.For more information, visit na- turecantonsdelest.ca and facebook.com/naturecantonsdelest. By Louis Volante, Professor of Education, Brock University Don A.Klinger, Dean of Te Kura Toi Tangata Faculty of Education; Professor of Measurement, Assessment and Evaluation, University of Waikato Dr.Melissa Siegel, Professor of Migration Studies and Head of Migration Studies at the Maastricht Graduate School of Governance and UNU-MERIT, Maastricht University Canada is consistently one of the top 10 destination countries for international migrants.More than 7.5 million foreign-born Canadians entered the country through the immigration process, according to 2016 Census data \u2014 representing more than one in five Canadians and more than one third of school-aged students.Canada was also the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as an official policy.There are provisions within its Charter of Rights and Freedoms that protect the rights of minority groups.One might wonder \u2014 has Canada\u2019s Multiculturalism Act had the desired effect of promoting positive outcomes for immigrants, particularly immigrant student groups?One study, a large-scale review published in 2015, suggested that out of a group of 38 industrialized nations, Canada ranked first in the world for anti- discrimination policies for migrants.The same report also suggested Canada has favourable education policies in four key areas: Access, targeted needs, new opportunities and intercultural education for all.However, this report did not delve into education policies within specific provinces.Canada is rather unique in the Western world, in that it does not possess a federal department of education.Each province enacts its own education policy.Provincial approaches Are there tangible examples that demonstrate the expression of \u201cmulticultural friendly\u201d education policies within provincial education systems?Senator Paul Yuzyk is seen in a copied photo.Yuzyk was a Canadian historian and Senator remembered as the \u2018father of multiculturalism.\u2019 (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick) Our own research, which has examined the relationship between provincial education policies and immigrant student achievement outcomes, suggests that the answer to this question is a resounding yes.Consider the largest province, Ontario, which provides policy guidelines to teachers regarding \u201cCulturally Responsive Pedagogy,\u201d \u201cAntiracism and Ethnocultural Equity in School Boards\u201d and \u201cOntario\u2019s Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy.\u201d Similarly, consider British Columbia, which developed a \u201cDiversity in B.C.Schools\u201d framework to safeguard against discrimination, harassment and violence.Or Alberta, which provides a curriculum framework containing provisions for belonging and identity that underscore its efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in its multicultural and pluralistic society.Immigrant students outperform their peers In which provinces do immigrant students thrive?Our research takes a longitudinal approach, which means we look at student achievement outcomes over multiple years and based on various achievement tests.We have examined achievement results from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) \u2014 which is regularly used as comparative measure of student achievement for 15-year-olds around the world in reading, mathematics and scientific literacy.The most glaring results from PISA 2015 indicated that both first- and second-gen- eration immigrants in British Columbia and Ontario outperformed their non-im- migrant counterparts in science literacy \u2014 which was the major domain tested in the most recent survey.The available data suggested that other provinces such as Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick also displayed favourable results for first- or sec- ond-generation immigrant student groups when compared to their non-immigrant counterparts.Collectively, Canadian findings are surprising \u2014 given that the vast majority of immigrant students around the world possess a significant performance disadvantage.Across OECD countries, this difference is approximately 33 points, which is equivalent to more than one year of formal schooling.It is worth noting that B.C.and Ontario have the highest proportion of first- and second-generation students within Canada, at 39.4 per cent and 37.1 per cent respectively \u2014 which suggests immigrant students can thrive in provinces with diverse student populations.Of course, Canada\u2019s strong performance may be partially attributed to its immigrant selection policies.For example, prospective immigrants receive points for job skills, education levels and proficiency in English or French \u2014 the two official languages.Overall, the Comprehensive Ranking System favours immigrants who are more likely to easily integrate into the Canadian economy.Nevertheless, there are many instances around the world where immigrants who share the same cultural background and family characteristics do markedly better or worse in different national contexts.Research suggests that Canadian immigrants do particularly well even after controlling for the pronounced influence of socio-eco- nomic status.The \u201caccommodation approach\u201d Collectively, a broad scan of provincial education systems suggests a marked preference for culturally-sensitive integration approaches that preserve the cultural identities of diverse populations.This is in direct contrast to the assimi- lationist approach to immigration that existed in Canada before the 1960s.In many respects, education policies tend to underscore a preference for fairly broad accommodations within provincial school systems.This approach is also reinforced by teacher education institutions across the country, which emphasize the importance of teaching practises (or pedagogy) and curricula that respect ethnic and cultural diversity.Canada is best characterized as a culturally pluralistic society, in that minority groups are able to maintain their unique cultural identities and values within the dominant culture of non-immigrant Anglophones and Francophones.Although our non-immigrant population is fairly dispersed \u2014 particularly within Canadian urban centres \u2014 it would be naïve to suggest teachers\u2019 pedagogical approaches are not geared towards this dominant group.Indeed, the famous Russian cognitive psychologist Lev Vygotsky astutely noted almost 100 years ago that the practice of pedagogy has always adopted a particular social pattern in accordance with the dominant social class guiding its interests.How teachers, school administrators and provincial education systems address the challenge of promoting culturally effective pedagogy, through the promotion of evidence-based policies and against the backdrop of international achievement standards \u2014 this remains a pressing challenge for our future.EDITORIAL Page 6 Wednesday , May 16, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record The same report also suggested Canada has favourable education policies in four key areas: Access, targeted needs, new opportunities and intercultural education for all.2018 Fundraiser for (ASPE) Estrie Multiple Sclerosis Association DEAR EDITOR: MAXI Richmond Volunteers: The Estrie

strong words as Knights down Jets to even series 1-1 By Joshua Clipperton THE CANADIAN PRESS Jonathan Marchessault gave a blunt assessment of the Vegas Golden Knights' pedestrian effort in Game 1 of the Western Conference final.The winger backed up his strong words in impressive fashion Monday to help write the latest chapter in the first-year club's surprising story.Marchessault scored twice and Marc-Andre Fleury made 30 saves as Vegas defeated the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 to send the best-of-seven series to Sin City tied at a game apiece.After the Knights fell behind 3-0 early in Saturday's 4-2 loss to open the third-round matchup, Marches- sault stated: \u201cWe're going to see what kind of team we are.\u201d Vegas weathered another early storm in Game 2, but steadied things to grab a 2-0 lead before responding with Marchessault's second of the night just 88 seconds after the Jets got to within one midway through the third period.\u201cWe definitely showed up,\u201d said the 27-year-old, who was plucked from the Florida Panthers in the expansion draft last June.\u201cWe showed the hockey world that we own the right to be here.\u201d The Knights, who swept the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the playoffs before downing the San Jose Sharks in six games to advance to the conference final, continue to defy the odds in a stunning inaugural campaign that saw them top the Pacific Division with 109 points.\u201cEverybody sees the opportunity here,\u201d Marches- sault said.\u201cWe were just a bunch of hockey players that wanted to find a home, and we did.\u201d Tomas Tatar came out of the press box to open the scoring for the Knights, while Reilly Smith added two assists.Kyle Connor replied for the Jets, who got 25 saves from Connor Hellebuyck.Winnipeg has now lost three of its past four games at Bell MTS Place in these playoffs after compiling the best home record in the NHL during the regular-sea- son at 32-7-4.\u201cWe were chasing the game again,\u201d Jets captain Blake Wheeler said.\u201cWe just couldn't get any momentum going.\u201d Games 3 and 4 go Wednesday and Friday in Vegas.Game 5 will be back in Winnipeg on Sunday afternoon.Fleury, who has four shutouts in these playoffs, picked up the 71st post-season victory of his career to pull even with Jacques Plante for ninth on the all-time list.\u201cEverybody steps up at some point,\u201d Fleury said.\u201cEverybody is contributing to the success of the team.That's why we've been consistent.\u201c The Jets beat the Knights to open the series some 48 hours after disposing of the Presidents' Trophy-win- ning Nashville Predators 5-1 on the road in Game 7 of a second-round series that never saw a team win two straight.Winnipeg came out fast with three goals in the first eight minutes in that one against Vegas, which had a five-day break following the defeat of San Jose, prompting Marchessault's strong post-game statement.\u201cWe kind of just dipped our toe in the water, a little bit of a feeling out process,\u201d Knights winger James Neal said.\u201cWe didn't go after it.We knew what to expect tonight.We were better.\u201d After the Jets had a number of chances during an early push Monday _ including a shot from Mark Scheifele that nearly squeaked through Fleury's pads and a Nikolaj Ehlers shot off the post _ Winnipeg sagged a bit before Vegas opened the scoring with 6:37 left in the first.A healthy scratch for seven of the Knights' 11 playoff games coming into Monday, Tatar scored his first of the post-season off a slick feed from Shea Theodore at the side of Winnipeg's net.The veteran forward's initial shot hit the post, but a great second effort saw him jam the puck past Hellebuyck on the follow up.\u201cThis locker room is really special,\u201d Tatar said.\u201cThere's a lot of great guys and we battle for each other.\u201d The visitors made it 2-0 with 2:38 left in the period when Smith stripped Connor in the neutral zone, leading to a breakaway for Marchessault, who made no mistake through Hellebuyck's pads for his fifth.Erik Haula nearly put the Knights up 3-0 seconds later, but he hit the post on another break before the puck bounced off Hellebuyck's back and went just wide as Vegas outshot Winnipeg 8-0 in the second half of the period until Brandon Tanev's 70-foot wrister with five seconds left.The Jets got some momentum off a penalty kill following the intermission, but couldn't solve Fleury on any of their eight shots in a second that also saw Andrew Copp hit the post.Winnipeg broke Fleury's shutout bid at 7:17 of the final period on the power play when Connor's shot from the bottom of the left faceoff circle somehow leaked through Fleury for his third.But Marchessault scored his second of the night and sixth of the playoffs just 1:28 later when he took a nice pass from Smith and beat Hellebuyck with a backhand to wrestle away home-ice advantage and send the series to Vegas knotted at one.\u201cIf you're going to talk out there in the media that you have to be better, I think you need to lead by example,\u201d Marchessault said.\u201cI tried to do that tonight.\u201d Notes: Game 6, if necessary, will be May 22 in Vegas, while a potential Game 7 would go May 24 in Winnipeg.Tatar was acquired before the trade deadline from the Detroit Red Wings for three draft picks, but had just four goals and two assists in 20 games for Vegas in the regular season.Tatar was pointless in the playoffs before Monday.Tomas Nosek, another former Red Wings forward, also drew in on the fourth line for Vegas.David Perron (illness) and Oscar Lindberg were scratched.Winnipeg Jets' Adam Lowry (17) and Vegas Golden Knights' Deryk Engelland (5) battle in front of goaltender Marc- Andre Fleury (29) during second period game 2 NHL Western Conference Finals action against the Winnipeg Jets, in Winnipeg, Monday, May 14, 2018.THE CANADIAN PRESS/TREVOR HAGAN Humboldt Broncos face off against league in trademark ?ght for #HumboldtStrong The Canadian Press The Humboldt Broncos hockey team is facing off with its own league over the #HumboldtStrong slogan and several others related to the fatal bus crash last month.The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League has applied to trademark the phrases, but the team said those who have suffered most from the tragedy should benefit from the phrases associated with it.``The Humboldt Broncos' focus and priority remains, as it has from the very beginning, on supporting the families,'' Broncos president Kevin Garinger said in a statement Monday.``That means, in part, working with our families directly .to together protect the 'Humboldt Strong' legacy that has emerged in the wake of the loss of our loved ones, and for those whose lives have been changed forever.'' The phrase #HumboldtStrong popped up on social media soon after the April 6 crash, which killed 16 people and injured 13 others when the team bus and a semi- truck collided at a rural Saskatchewan intersection.People rallied around the team, raising more than $15 million in a GoFundMe campaign for survivors and the families of those killed.They also showed support for the Broncos by putting hockey sticks on porches, wearing jerseys and memorial ribbons, and holding other fundraisers.Within weeks, the league applied to trademark the phrase, as well as seven others associated with the tragedy including #sticksontheporch.Bill Chow, president of the league, said they applied on April 20 to make sure the brands were protected.``I thought it would be important that somebody have control, if possible, of those trademarks,'' he said Monday.``Because the league already has control of proprietary rights and broadcast rights for all of the teams in the league, I thought this might be something the league would take under its umbrella as well.``At some point in time, the Humboldt Broncos could do what they want to do with it.'' Chow said he's hopeful they can clear up any concerns being raised by the Broncos.``I don't think it's the intention of the other teams or the league to try to make any money off of this.'' A few days after the collision, the junior hockey league partnered with 22 Fresh, a Regina-based clothing company, to sell #HumboldtStrong T-shirts.They said the proceeds would go to an assistance program created after the crash to provide support to its players.The Broncos organization said they haven't endorsed those fundraising efforts.``Any suggestion that the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League's fundraising efforts are supporting or endorsed by the Humboldt Broncos is misinformed,'' said Garinger in the statement.?`To date, the SJHL has not directed any funds they have raised, whether through direct solicitation or merchandise sales, to the Humboldt Broncos organization.'' He said they will try to resolve the issue with the league and its board of governors.
