[" T uesday , May 29, 2018 BromeCounty News By Ann Davidson Growing up, Alison Steel agonized over the reality that her mother was never able to recognize her as her daughter, and that from the time Alison was five years old.It was only when Steel was able to access her mother\u2019s medical records, much later on, that she realized what had happened to her mother and was able to forgive her.Over the years, the two had a relationship, but Steel describes her mother as being devoid of emotion.As was recently explored in a report by senior CBC investigative reporter Elizabeth Thompson, Steel\u2019s mother was one of the victims of a heinous human experiment conducted and supervised by Dr.Ewen Cameron at the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University during the 1950\u2019s.According to Thompson\u2019s report, and past reporting by former Fifth Estate host Adrienne Clarkson, many of the patients treated by Cameron and his team of psychiatrists were being used as human subjects for experimentation in a brainwashing project that was a collaboration of the CIA, McGill University, the Rockafeller Institute.Under the guise of Project MKUltra Cameron and his colleagues used an electro-shock therapy device called Page-Russell that was known for having been used to torture prisoners of war.The patients were given barbiturates like curare and LSD.Cameron referred to the procedure as \u201cpsychic driving\u201d.His \u201cdriving\u201d experiments consisted of putting a subject into a drug-induced coma for weeks at a time (up to three months in one case) while playing tape loops  of noise or simple statements.According to the Alliance for Human Research Protection these experiments were typically carried out on patients who had entered the institute for minor problems such as anxiety disorders and  postnatal depression; many suffered permanent debilitation after these treatments.Steel\u2019s mother became a part of the project when she fell into a long depression after the birth of Alison\u2019s younger sister, who was born with spina bifida and immediately removed from her care.Steel\u2019s sister lived at the Butters Home in Austin until her death six months later.In light of the horrific treatment she was subjected to, Steel says that she now understands why her mother came to behave the way she did.Although now she can forgive her mother for the \u201cdifferent\u201d behaviour she remembered from the time she was a young child until the day her mother died, she wants to work with other victims and co-victims to push the government for a public and formal apology.In the wake of the most recent set of news stories, Steel connected with Marilyn Rappaport whose sister was also a patient of Cameron.Rappaport had started a Facebook page called \u201cSurvivors Allied Against Government  Abuse\u201d (SAAGA) for victims of brainwashing experiments that were conducted at the Allan and, since December of 2017 over 40 individuals have come forward with similar stories.Driven by that momentum, the group is now building a class action lawsuit against both the Federal and Provincial governments, headed by Rappaport.It is thought that over 250 patients were used during the 1950\u2019s and 1960\u2019s for Cameron\u2019s testing despite having never given consent for these treatments.In victimology there is a principle that for every victim there is an average of fourteen co-victims.This principle is applied to those who have lost loved ones from murder.In the case of the MKUltra victims at the Allan, Steel believes the same principle should apply.Many patients were never able to remember who their family members were.So often they were never able to work or cope with day to day life management.Families were broken, with some children placed in foster families.Some of the fostered children suffered from abuse.Both Steel and Rappaport say that their loved ones never regained the ability to recognize the relationship with them.Steel\u2019s mother did not know that she was her daughter.Rappaport\u2019s sister, who is still alive at 77 years old, is adamant that Rappaport is not her sibling.\u201cMy sister\u2019s mind is her prison,\u201d Rappaport said, explaining that her sister has been institutionalized for most of her life after receiving 107 electric shock treatments of Page-Russell, PHOTO BY ANN DAVIDSON After recovering her mother\u2019s medical file several years ago, TBL\u2019s Alison Steel, was finally able to forgive her mother for a lifetime of not remembering who Alison was.Families of MKUltra victims taking legal action CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 BromeCountyNews PAGE 2 T uesday , May 29, 2018 Brome County Community Bulletin Board June 2 Knowlton Lions Club Community Wide Garage Sale.The sale will take place Saturday, June 2, from 8 a.m.to 2 p.m.at Place Knowlton (Depanneur Rouge), 483 Knowlton Rd.We will be accepting donations at our trailer located on the parking lot of Place Knowlton on Thursday, May 31 and Friday, June 1 from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m.For those who wish to encourage us, we accept just about anything in good condition: toys, curios, crockery, sporting and gardening equipment, etc.(please no books, ski equipment, TV\u2019s hide-a-beds, clothing or large appliances).June 2 Knowlton Harmony Band conducted by Susan Reininger, Spring Concert at 7:30 p.m.in Community Centre, 270 Victoria St., Ville de Lac Brome.Special guests student band from Heroes Memorial conducted by Laura Barr.Hum along to songs from Sound of Music and other popular tunes.Donation $10.June 3 The Sutton Junction Community Hall invites you to the launch of its 125th Anniversary, which will be marked throughout the year at community events.On Sunday, June 3 at 10:30 a.m.there will be the unveiling of a mural created by the artists belonging to the group \u201cLes Beaux Lundis\u201d, the launch of Héritage Sutton\u2018s 28th sketchbook, focusing entirely on Sutton Junction, as well as an exhibition of old photos followed by a \u201cSon et Brioches\u201d concert under the direction of Stanley Lake.Entry fee: $5.  Coffee, tea and pastries will be served after the concert.June 3 Legion 99 Cowansville, 120 Blvd.Davignon.Breakfast, June 3, 9 a.m.to 12:30 p.m.$8 per person.June 4 Monday, June 4, Avante\u2019s women under 40 \u201cHAPPY\u201d,  the documentary.1 p.m.FREE!

dies.It\u2019s the numbness, sadness, anger, regret all rolled up into one.It\u2019s the pain in your gut and a hole in your chest.Everybody grieves inside when someone they love dies.Grief is the natural psychological, behavioral, social and physical response which helps the mourner recognize the loss and get ready for the larger and often longer experience of mourning.To that effect, grief is actually the beginning part of mourning.How do you mourn?How to you cope with the loss, the grief, the pain?If you feel like you can\u2019t go through it on your own, there are precious resources that are offered free of charge to residents of the Brome-Missisquoi and Haute-Yamaska communities.L\u2019Équipe d\u2019accompagnement Au Diapson offers bereavement support in both English and French to adults, teenagers and children.The goal is to support and facilitate the grieving process by breaking the isolation.Whether in groups or individually, the sessions aim to help recognize, validate and express emotions that we feel and to develop a better knowledge and understanding of the normal stages of grief.Mourning is a universal phenomenon.It is necessary and painful and it will take the necessary time.It does help to talk about it, to exteriorize your feelings.It can help you cope with your grief.For more information on Au Diapason, visit www.audiapason.org.La Maison Au Diapason 50

professionnels agréés Chartered professional accountants corporation By Ann Davidson AMay 22nd announcement by the Town of Brome Lake (TBL) about plans to amend regulations related to the use of the boat ramp at Tiffany Park has caused a stir amongst local fishermen.The advisory stated that a new policy will lead to the closure of the boat launch near the small beach at Tiffany Park on Lakeside Road to motorized boats, prompting a strong reaction from members of the Eastern Townships Hunting and Fishing Club Facebook page.While the advisory suggests that motor boat owners head to the Knowlton Marina or Domaine des Érables and pay the necessary costs to launch, many have voiced the feeling that they should have a right to free access to Brome Lake.Some quipped about the \u201ctree-hugging hippies\u201d calling the shots, making reference to the town\u2019s decision to try to protect the natural habitat of several species of ?sh including the Yellow Walleye, and one person even suggested that poaching walleye is an excuse for the town to remove the only free access to the lake and make boaters pay $30 at the campsite.The TBL notice mentioned that \u201cSafety and aquatic wildlife protection issues have prompted the Town to adopt such a measure.The location is not under surveillance,\u201d but according to Pierre Beaudoin, spokesperson for local conservation organization Renaissance Lac Brome (RLB), the issue of wildlife protection is not the main reason.He cited the town\u2019s decision as being based on a combination of mainly for the safety of the users, with better use of the restricted parking space for non-motor- ized water activities and wildlife protection being secondary factors.The notice also mentions that there is already a regulation that prohibits motorized watercraft from navigating on the creek near Tiffany Park and that those who do not comply to the rules are subject to being ticketed.Although people with non-motor- ized craft such as canoes, kayaks, and Stand Up Paddleboards(SUPs) will still be able to navigate the water in the Quilliams stream and access the lake under the new regulation, TBL Mayor Richard Burcombe said that there is concern that boaters having to travel under the bridge to get to the lake raises the potential for \u201cunfortunate incidents\u201d.\u201cThe development of this site limits the possibilities and is a matter of concern for Council,\u201d Burcombe said, \u201cThat\u2019s one of the reasons why we are going in that direction.\u201d Beaudoin said that the project to close the boat ramp is strictly a decision by the town.The lake\u2019s watchdog association, which aims to protect the quality of the water for all aquatic and terrestrial beings, will not interfere with the Town\u2019s policy on this matter.Beaudoin added, however, that RLB has been conducting ?sh inventories at Brome Lake since 2011, including ones of Yellow Walleye populations in 2016 and 2017.Although the results are not yet completed, Beaudoin said that preliminary data indicates that the Walleyes in the lake are relatively young; younger than what is found in other lakes in the region, with very few being over four years old.That in mind, the RLB spokesperson said that the organization does believe that ?shing is putting pressure on the Walleye population.At this point, he said that they have not detected any particular problem in other species such as the yellow perch and small- mouth bass.A full report on the situation with the Walleyes is expected TBL plans to amend regulations at

from getting a job or living independently.\u201cShe became incontinent and put into a sleep room where she was administered barbiturates.This was done without parental consent.\u201d Rappaport\u2019s parents had to foot the bill for treatment on their daughter to which they never consented.In 1993 they were given $100,000 by the Ministry of Justice.Rappaport says that the amount barely paid for what her parents were burdened with, to say nothing about the lifelong emotional burden.\u201cIt\u2019s hard to visit her because she denies the relationship between us.They erased her memory,\u201d the SAAGA founder said.\u201cThis was not a healing treatment, it was an experiment,\u201d Rappaport continued, adding that it was only after her sister\u2019s memory was erased that she, still a teenager, was asked to sign a consent form.Both Steel and Rappaport are revulsed that their loved ones were tortured on Canadian soil, apparently with the blessing and knowledge of the government.Although the pair recognise that $100,000 in compensation was paid out to the families of 77 former patients, they estimate that the real number of patients was probably upwards of 250.According to Steel, letters to Members of Parliament have been drafted and sent by members of the newly formed SAAGA, including one to Brome-Missisquoi MP, Denis Paradis.They are seeking an apology form the government as well as compensation.Rappaport, meanwhile, said wants people to know what she and this group are doing and urges people to step up with their stories.The SAAGA Facebook page is public and is meant to be their first step as a way to connect to what has become a support group for the class action suit.At the same time, she said, there is a mechanism that will serve to protect anonymity and confidentiality.More information about the SAAGA group and the class action lawsuit is available on the group\u2019s Facebook page, Survivors Against Allied Government

our world has far too many differences brewing at the same time, all over the world.What will it take for those with the capacity to be welcoming, try a little harder to be accepting of those who arrive on our doorstep, with little in life except their being, and at times  even that is almost spent.Most people do not migrate through choice but through circumstance.Natural disasters, brutal regimes, or persecution for their religion head the list.Prosperous countries will be inconvenienced by having others arriving in great numbers, but those who should be willing to give up some of their wealth and comforts so that others can have better chance in life to succeed and contribute,  pay back, their hosts.Talent is not readily apparent, but those who must fight to live, have something in them that pushes them to be successful if given the chance.Canada has had its successes in being a host country, and it is now up to others to walk side by side in letting the unfortunates have what host countries enjoy.Freedom to breathe, to work, and be able to say thank you for your generosity.DAVID EDMOND Tiffany Beach boat ramp DEAR EDITOR: According to local paper La Voix de L\u2019Est, TBL is going to close down the only boat ramp that non-lake- side residents had to launch their boats.Tiffany Beach boat ramp will be closed by the town, their reason being is that a recent survey denoted that the seize of walleye had diminished, and by closing the Tiffany ramp it would discourage fishermen from going on the lake and fishing large walleye essential to reproduction.  Non-lakeside residents of TBL who wish to go fishing or boating on Brome lake will have to use the 2 private boat ramps located at either ends of the lake  at 30.00 a shot.Easy maths say  10 usages at 30.00 each = 300.00 .  20 launches in one season 600.00.Nice treatment on the part of the town towards the less fortunate non-lakeside dwellers.Mr Burcombe, what are the alternatives for these people?Do you really believe they are the ones responsible for the loss of large Walleye?How are you going to punish the 500 lakeside dwellers from using the lake and catching overseize Walleye?This is beyond your jurisdiction, control of fish catch and seize is the responsibility of the fish and game department, not yours or the towns.It is your responsibility however to report the incident to the authorities and to make sure they do something about it.Punishing part of the population by forcing them to pay 30.00  a shot to launch their boats is, in my opinion, selective taxing and should be stopped immediately.Most fishermen respect the law and its the fish and game departments job to make sure they do.Your job, Mr.Burcombe, would be to ensure the sewage pump house, on Lakeside, Victoria, and Bondville do not send raw sewage into the lake during severe rain fall.LARRY INGOLD Knowlton Once again this year the Knowlton Lions Club will be holding their very successful

ASK THE DOCTORS By Eve Glazier, M.D., and Elizabeth Ko, M.D.Dear Doctor: Years ago, I was told not to consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice with statins.Now I understand that this restriction no longer applies.Is this correct?Dear Reader: The reason people are warned to steer clear of grapefruit when taking statins, which are drugs that lower cholesterol, is that certain compounds within the fruit and its juice affect the way the medications are absorbed.Known as furanocoumarins, they interfere with the metabolic processes that break down a range of medications, including statins.And while you\u2019re correct that there are now a few brands of statins that don\u2019t interact with those compounds, it\u2019s important to check with your pharmacist or physician regarding your particular prescription before adding grapefruit to your diet.Statins are a class of drugs that get broken down with the help of an enzyme known as CYP3A4, which is found in the gastrointestinal tract and liver.It\u2019s a process that controls how much of a drug is released into the bloodstream, and it is factored into the calculations used to determine drug dosages.What happens in the presence of furanocoumarins, which are found not only in grapefruit but also in pome- los and Seville oranges, is the work of that key enzyme is inhibited.As a result, a larger amount of the drug than is intended enters the blood and accumulates in the body.In the case of statins, too much of the drug in the body can lead to grave complications, such as increased risk of damage to the liver and muscles, which can lead to kidney failure.Grapefruit is a good source of vitamin C and has a bit of potassium as well, so patients often ask if there\u2019s a minimum amount they can safely consume while taking statins.Unfortunately, with many statins, the answer is still no.That\u2019s because we each secrete a different amount of the CYP3A4 enzyme in the small intestine.The same glass of grapefruit juice that would be safe for one person would be dangerous for someone else.Interestingly, that same compound that generates an overabundance of statins in the blood will decrease the available amount of a few other drugs, including fexofenadine, an allergy medicine sold under the brand name Allegra.Apple juice and orange juice have the same effect on fexofenadine, which is why the labels on both the pre- scription-level and over-the-counter varieties of the drug carry a warning against taking it with any fruit juices.An estimated 20 percent of the population between the ages of 45 and 70 are prescribed statins, so the fact that several of the brands now available do not appear to affect the CYP3A4 enzyme is good news.The statins that remain on the no-grapefruit list are atorvastatin (Lipitor), lovastatin (Mevacor) and sim- vastatin (Zocor).And while the current literature suggests that rosuvastatin (Crestor) and pravastatin (Pravachol) as well as a few other statin drugs have limited or no interaction with fura- nocoumarins, we urge you to check with your pharmacist or physician before adding grapefruit to your diet.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.BromeCountyNews T uesday , May 29, 2018 PAGE 11 Talk to your doctor before taking a statin with grapefruit juice Death Death Death Death Cemetery Meeting Thérèse BERNARD (1931-2018) In Granby, on May 10th, 2018, Thérèse Bernard has passed away after a long illness at the age of 86, longtime resident of West Brome.She leaves three sisters: Marie Brouillette of Granby, Cécile from Brossard and Denise;
