of the 27 public markets that exist across the four corners of the region.\u201cMarkets are excellent showcases for local producers and a very good way to encourage people to buy local,\u201d said Ghislain Lefevre, Director of the Conseil de l\u2019industrie bioalimentaire de l\u2019Estrie (CIBLE) a group focused on the promotion and development of local agricultural products.\u201cWe are very proud to once again be a partner of the markets this year.\u201d Diane Goyette, President of the Compton night market, praised farmers\u2019 markets as a drawing point for people seeking exciting new discoveries.\u201cThere is an important awareness issue for consumers in the importance of visiting their local market regularly,\u201d Goyette said, pointing out that the practice can encourage healthy eating habits and stimulate the local economy.In order to help connect the public with a growing number of local markets in the Townships, the local tourism agency has introduced several tools.Among these is a postcard created under the theme: \u201csee you at the market\u201d that can be distributed near and far.Nearly 35,000 have been printed for distribution.The agency has also developed a special map identifying the location of each market, which can be found online at createursdesaveurs.com/fr/marches- publics-marches-solidarites.Farmers\u2019 market season underway COURTESY TOURISME CANTONS DE L\u2019EST Bishop\u2019s Bridge to partially reopen Record Staff According to the most recent notice from Quebec\u2019s ministry of Transportation, the Bishop\u2019s Bridge is expected to re-open one lane to traffic as of this coming weekend.In a message sent out Friday afternoon, the ministry indicated that the work currently underway on the bridge will be finished on Saturday, June 30.Following the reopening, traffic will alternate on the one open lane for an unspecified period of time.MATTHEW MCCULLY Every once in a while, along comes a summer that is a 'gap' summer - a time of living between two phases of life, sometimes two different places altogether, where we find ourselves split between reminiscing about the all-too- recent past, final moments of one era on a cooling rack before permanent storage, and contemplating an approaching future, somewhat unpredictable, yet that we divine none-the-less.Those are the moments so many folks have written about - gap summers are born of nostalgia and brevity.There is a radiating of feeling rippling from the person most affected by the shift - who is truly between two worlds and the folks closest to them.Example: Boy graduates from high school.Finds thoughts wandering through the years leading up to the end, and likely quite intensely the moments that took place right at the end itself - say the last week, and through what is to come - ie.post secondary studies, leaving home, other changes to come.The boy is at the core of the feeling.The next layer up we might find his mother, contemplating the same times.Gap summers hold sweeter things - taste buds work differently, sensory experiences are more ripe.Pain is different, time moves strangely, sometimes oozing around in slow-moving circles, and then picking up.Mornings and late evenings tend to last longer than usual.Strangers are more commonly crossed during gap summers, often their identities revealed.Old friendships have to work harder to remain vital - but rarely die at this time.Breezes are more musical, storms more bruised and thunder more dry, strawberries are the mark of summers always, but in gap summers their taste and texture are more acute.This is a time of soundtracks - and the songs are forever imprinted with all of the feelings, as though the pieces are rerecorded, threaded this time with something else beyond the needle, something that is alive in the listening.Skin is different - freckles, oddly- shaped sunburns of haste, a certain smell of salt and oil, florals, heavy with the year like the bouquet of wine to a trained nose.Everything seems to be coming-of-age, no matter the age.In this time decisions ripen, while others dry up or fail to thrive, and the way of this folding dimension is slowly revealed - partly designed by the person at the core, but only partly, as the will of bigger things makes its way, only nudged in its growth.Something usually fades or dies.There is a sloughing away of what is now compost for new growth - some things and people are relegated to photographs, later found in shoeboxes of memorabilia.Thus come the next steps.Gap summers are precious gifts, and should be treated as such - the blue moons marking the shift between phases and places, as we slowly moult on to the next set of cells, the new us, the new set of circumstances that make life what it is.And gap summers come with unending possibilities and loopholes, taking the brave game-changers on to different, unexpected and almost always exciting paths.There is a higher rate of successful results and a greater cushion in failures, as the level of opportunities is also exponentially greater - the gap summer's design features increased personal potential.While this fruitful season can be ignored, with the sweetest bounty simply falling to rot, it is clearly visible on every timeline - although it inevitably fades, and is never seen again in the same form.When you know that you are steeping in it, surrounded by the stirring of growth, be brave.Change and transition does still require courage, and always will.No technology can reproduce these conditions - they can only grow organically and on their own.Move around and say yes to new life, allow some out-dated and overgrown paths to go to seed, for someone else to walk down.Stop and feel the warmth.Believe that you were meant to.Ben by Daniel Shelton Page 2 T uesday , June 26, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Weather TODAY: SUNNY HIGH OF 22 LOW OF 10 WEDNESDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF

THE CANADIAN PRESS Justin Trudeau will skip Canada Day festivities on Parliament Hill this year.Instead, the prime minister will be on the road, celebrating Canada's 151st birthday in three cities in three different regions.Trudeau is scheduled to visit Leam- ington, Ont., Regina and Dawson City, Yukon - all on July 1.He will still put in an appearance on Parliament Hill, but it will be via video from Leamington.Spokesman Cameron Ahmad says Trudeau wants to spend Canada day with \u201cCanadians and their families\u201d in parts of the country he doesn't often get a chance to visit.But in at least two of the three cities, the tour seems designed to reflect the looming trade war between Canada and the United States.Trudeau will meet steelworkers in Regina, who've been hard-hit by President Donald Trump's imposition of crippling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.And in Leamington, he'll be meeting workers at the factory that produces the tomato paste used in French's ketchup.Ketchup and other tomato sauces are among the many U.S.goods upon which the Trudeau government intends to slap $16.6 billion worth of retaliatory tariffs, starting on July 1.The Leamington visit appears aimed at reminding Canadians they can still get made-in-Canada tomato sauces, on which no tariff will apply.Trudeau will spend Canada Day on the road visiting three cities, skipping Parliament Hill festivities T uesday , June 26, 2018 Page 3 According to MFWP biologist Éric Jaccard, the number of sightings reported to the ministry has been similar to those of previous years.LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Foresta Lumina brings its magic to downtown Coaticook By Ocean Francoeur Special to The Record For its fifth year of enchantment, Foresta Lumina has decided to expand its course and plunge visitors of Coaticook Gorge deeper into the mysterious story of Margaret and the Devil in order to become \u201cthe Walt-Disney of nature\u201d.Last Thursday, June 21, the director general of La Gorge de Coaticook, Caroline Sage, announced new additions to one of the region\u2019s most famous tourist attractions, which in 2018, cost around 1.3 million dollars.Foresta Lumina\u2019s otherworldly magic now extends to the downtown square, Place Tillotson, thanks to a new projection mural.The mural, created by Moment Factory, overlooks Place Tillotson and appears to be a regular illustration during the day, but at night it comes alive with music and projections, giving a glimpse of the story of Margaret and the Devil, the story which imbues the Foresta Lu- mina experience.The idea, said Sage on opening night, was the result of listening to Foresta Lu- mina customers.\u201cWe have spent many sleepless nights bringing our project to the third phase,\u201d said Sage.\u201cWe have taken into account the recommendations of everyone who passes through Foresta Lumina.\u201d Besides the mural, the entire downtown has a touch of the attraction: little glowing lanterns serve to light the area and now, from Place Tillotson, visitors can get onto four buses that pass every half hour, to bring them to the Gorge to begin their journey.Once on site, veterans of the course will recognize a new rest area, dubbed \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Lair\u201d, where visitors can sit by a fire and watch a projection which explains more of the story and the relationship between the main character and the devil that haunts the forest.Still very much an attraction for kids, the ambient music and pretty lights will capture the wonder of all, and kids will especially appreciate the enchanted trail\u2019s interactive musical section.The \u201cstoryboard\u201d section of the trail has also been revamped, providing further background of Foresta Lumina\u2019s lore.OCEAN FRANCOEUR Beaudry St.?re heavily damages apartment block Record Staff SHERBROOKE Aviolent fire that erupted Sunday afternoon in an apartment building on Beaudry Street in Sherbrooke was caused by an electrical failure.The incident sent six people to the Red Cross for food, shelter, and clothing, although a majority of the building\u2019s residents were able to return home.About 30 firefighters were on the scene to fight the fire that completely enveloped one of the apartments.A total of 40 people were evacuated at the time of the fire.Damage to the building is estimated at more than $200,000.The fire broke out on the fourth floor where an electrical outlet jumped, sending smoke coming out of from the wall.The building\u2019s concrete construction prevented the fire from spreading to adjacent dwellings.Préma-Québec Walk for Preemies coming to Sherbrooke Record Staff Préma-Québec is inviting the population to register for its 10th annual Walk for Preemies on September 8 in six cities across Quebec.People of every age are expected to attend this unifying event, to be held at the same time, from 9 am to 12 pm, in Chicoutimi, Longueuil, Quebec, Rimouski, Rouyn-No- randa, and in Sherbrooke in order to highlight the bravery of these little warriors and to send a message of hope to their families.This annual provincial Préma-Québec fundraising event takes place on Quebec Prematurity Day, and aims to collect $40 000.With the profits of the event, Préma-Québec will continue to offer a financial aid to families from all over the province who are likely to suffer from the financial stress caused by unplanned costs involved in staying with their premature child while hospitalized.Founded in 2003 by Ginette Mantha, following the premature birth of her second child at 31 weeks of pregnancy, Préma-Québec\u2019s mission is to improve the quality of life for premature children by offering educational, psychological and financial support to their parents.The association is supported by doctors, nurses, and other professionals working in neonatology.It is the only organization in Québec to support the parents of preemies from the moment of birth until their return home.Each year, 1 out of 10 babies is born prematurely, that is before the 37th week of pregnancy, resulting in 6,000 families in Quebec being affected by a premature birth.Fundraising activities like the Walk for Preemies allow Préma-Québec to offer quality services to the families of a premature child in the Quebec six neonatal units that provide intensive care.The services include educational and informational material, discussion groups in hospital settings, a hotline and voicemail available 7/7, financial support, specialised breastfeeding support and bereavement support.The Sherbrooke walk will take place at Jacques Cartier Park to register and/or to make a donation consult https://www.jedonneenligne.org/pre- maquebec/campagne/la-marche-pour-les- prematures/.Participation costs $30 per adult, $10 per child 6 years of age and over or $65 for a family.Local bear population normal, expert says By Matthew McCully Following the numerous recent black bear sightings in the Townships, The Record contacted the Ministry of Forestry, Wildlife and Parks to find out if there was cause for concern.According to MFWP biologist Éric Jac- card, the number of sightings reported to the ministry has been similar to those of previous years.Jaccard said the black bear population is relatively stable in hunting zone 6, pointing out that there are areas like Stanstead Township, which have more bears than the regional average.The wide use of agricultural land as well as the large forested areas in the Township account for more frequent bear encounters in that area, he said.

Opting for a less sedentary lifestyle will likely increase the lifespan of any individual and the CABMN Senior Service Coordination team is working to find a variety of fun ways to expand upon its already popular Viac- tive program attended by many seniors from the area.Starting Wednesday the 27 of June, the walking group will give seniors in Mansonville the opportunity to participate in a social activity while benefiting from the physical necessity of being active.The walk will be easy and adapted to the physical condition of those who are participating.For sure, a person who has been sedentary will in time find that their physical condition and capacity to move will improve and likely increase as well as their psychological health and outlookl.Monique Gilbert (an accredited Kine- siologist), was hired at the CABMN three months ago to work as a Coordinator of SAPA senior services alongside longtime Coordinator, Angelle Laplume.Monique\u2019s background and training is a great asset to the CAB\u2019s program for seniors.\u201cIt will be possible for those who wish to use walking poles,\u201d explained Gilbert.\u201cThe walking poles have been furnished by the Municipality and will add to the program by increasing the propulsion motion of moving forward.\u201d It is important to note that this initiative will benefit the physical conditioning of those taking part as well as building muscle strength in the upper and lower body reducing stress and diminishing the risk of injury regardless of the different type of terrain.\u201cThis is a pilot project and we are targeting a group of 10 to 15 seniors maximum,\u201d said Gilbert.\u201cThe session will include information, will incorporate core strength exercises as well as the walk and the class will not exceed 50 to 55 minutes.The session will take place from 10 to 11am on Wednesday mornings and the group will meet in front of the Town Hall in Mansonville in the park,\u201d she added.For more information, please contact Angelle or Monique at the CABMN Main Office at 450-292-3114 extension 103.The weekly Vieactive exercise program for seniors offered through the CABMN throughout the year from fall to early summer breaks during the summer months.The walking group will provide an opportunity for those who wish to continue being active to choose to and will take place while the weather is ideal and people want to be outside enjoying nature in the good company of friends.Why not take a step in the right direction and join the Potton group as they take the high road to good health.Mable Hastings The Scoop New walking club for Potton seniors COURTESY Monique Gilbert is getting ready for her first Walking Club for seniors in Potton.Gilbert (an accredited Kinesiologist), was hired at the CABMN three months ago to work as a Coordinator of SAPA senior services alongside long-time Coordinator, Angelle Laplume.Sylvie des Rosiers receives National Assembly medal Pierre-Alexandre Morier, Presideent of the École Montessori board of directors, Sylvie Des Rosiers, Principal of École Montessori and Orford MNA Pierre Reid COURTESY There\u2019s this supermarket in the city where they keep slabs of beef in a display case under lock and key, like in a jewelry store or antique boutique.It\u2019s not clear whether you have to show the butcher your stock portfolio or credit rating to get a slice or two of the sensually marbled, richly aged meat, but it seems that way.As we, the carnivorous connaisseurs of charred animal flesh, fire up the barbie and contemplate what to grill, choosing steak or hamburgers gives one pause.The fact is beef nowadays is pricey, very pricey, at least compared to other popular and versatile meats such as pork and chicken.This comes as no surprise to anyone who has done the groceries lately and done a double-take upon seeing the price sticker on a package of steaks.A decent cut of beef fit for the grill, enough to feed a family of four, could easily set you back $30 to $40.A nice prime rib roast is yours for a mere $36 a kilo.Even ground beef for BBQ patties is expensive, routinely priced in the $15 a kilo range.You won\u2019t save much by opting for the frozen industrially processed version.Economy packages, with burgers extruded from who knows what anatomy of the animal, are anything but economical, namely a six-pack for $10.Beef, at least the desirably grillable variety, has become pretty much a delicacy in this part of the country.No wonder consumption of the meat has been dropping steadily in Quebec, and elsewhere in Canada.The explanation for this phenomenon lies in the quirks of supply and demand, and the workings of international traffic in bovine flesh.The short answer is most beef sold in the big grocery stores in Quebec is imported.Quebecers are more likely to savour a steak from a cow slaughtered in the United States, Australia or New Zealand, than one fattened on home soil.It\u2019s hard to find data on exactly how much Canadian beef makes it to Quebec shelves and freezers.Alberta, by far Canada\u2019s largest beef producer, exports mostly to the States.American beef accounts for about 60 percent of the meat imported into Canada.(Don\u2019t tell the president, but Canada has a modest net trade surplus in beef with the U.S.) Quebec producers united under the Boeuf Quebec banner, have mounted a campaign to combat the stampede of foreign beef into the Quebec market.Consumers may have noticed the appearance of stickers on beef proclaiming its Quebec source in the meat section of IGA, the province\u2019s largest grocery chain.IGA says it did a survey that found more than 60 percent of consumers would choose Quebec-produced beef if they were given a choice.Nearly 300 of the Sobey\u2019s-owned groceries will be selling Quebec-raised and processed beef, initially ground beef and steak, to capitalize on the summer BBQ frenzy.Boeuf Quebec says more cuts may be made available come the fall.Boeuf Quebec says the campaign launched a year ago has led to a major spike in production.Producers have set a target of a 50 percent increase in production by 2025.That goal fits into the Couillard government\u2019s plan to expand Quebec\u2019s home-grown production of all sorts of consumables through its $5 billion biofood policy, unveiled in April.(Legislative changes to implement the biofood policy died on the order paper at the end of the National Assembly session last week.) Producers have committed themselves to the expansion, visions of speciality Asian markets in mind, aware that beef production has a bad reputation, with mad cow disease and slaughterhouse horrors high in the public mind.To that end, Boeuf Quebec has signed on with the Verified Beef Production Plus programme which governs beef production elsewhere in the country.The group, representing the province\u2019s feedlot operators, says this year all beef cattle in the province will be raised under the health and humane guidelines of the policy.If all this talk of consuming meat on the hoof makes you queasy, consider this: A&W will be launching a new burger in a couple of weeks, made with Beyond Meat, a plant-based meat-tasting product, whose investors include Bill Gates and Leo DiCaprio.Great idea, but does Beyond Meat have that sensational sizzle on the barbie?EDITORIAL Page 6 T uesday , June 26, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record IGA says it did a survey that found more than 60 percent of consumers would choose Quebec-produced beef if they were given a choice.Today is the first day of summer.It is a crystal clear day in North Hatley, the sun is warm, the breeze is light.Lake Massawippi is shimmering beneath blue skies.Boats are on the lake.People with private access to the lake are sitting in the sun, listening to the water lap against their docks.Those who do not have private access to the lake look at it from a bridge or from afar.They cannot sit on a beach or a dock by the lake because the Public Beach is Locked.Not a soul is inside the fence that surrounds the public beach, playground and boat launch.They are locked out.Signs posted say \u201cDANGER\u201d \u201cDefense de Passer\u201d.North Hatley is a popular tourist town, and has long been a destination for holidays by the lake with opportunities for summer and winter sports, for swimming and picnicking by the lake.But this is not possible for people who would like to be by the lake on this first day of summer.It is not possible for people who pay a membership fee to use the beach, or for tax payers who pay the municipality to provide public access to the water.Scores of volunteers have worked hard during the past 50 years to collect thousands of dollars annually to provide amenities at the recreation center and the public beach, but they cannot enjoy the lake on this first day of summer.This summer the Town Council of North Hatley has instituted restricted access to the public beach.The gate will be unlocked for a few specified times in late June and early September and during certain hours during July through late August.This is contrary to community spirit and to the very notion of living by a lake.It is sad, frustrating, disheartening.The Town Council states that they are protecting public health and safety, but their new restrictions are contrary to 50 years of a safe, open public beach in North Hatley; contrary to common practice at all other regional town beaches.The new restrictions are putting an arrow through the public spirit of the town.Faith McClellan LeBaron North Hatley Letters It\u2019s BBQ time, but where\u2019s the (Quebec) beef?6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 FAX: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON MCCULLY PUBLISHER .(819) 569-9511 MATTHEW MCCULLY ASSOCIATE EDITOR (819) 569-6345 GORDON LAMBIE ASSOCIATE EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-4856 JESSE BRYANT ADVERTISING MANAGER .(450) 242-1188 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .(819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .(819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION .(819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM .(819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, J0E 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 FAX: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST T O T A L QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 155.00 7.75 15.46 $ 1 7 8 .2 1 6 MONTHS 85.00 4.25 8.48 $ 9 7 .7 3 3 MONTHS 44.00 2.20 4.39 $ 5 0 .5 9 ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 71.50 3.58 7.13 $ 8 2 .2 1 1 MONTH 6.49 0.32 0.65 $ 7 .4 6 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA RECORD THE The Record welcomes your letters to the editor.Please limit your letters to 300 words.We reserve the right to edit for length, clarity, legality and taste.Please ensure there is a phone number or email where you can be reached, to confirm authorship and current town/city of residence.Names will not be withheld but the address and phone number of the writer are not published, except by request.Preference is given to writers from the Eastern Townships.Peter Black We want to thank all those people who have supported our group in its endeavours over the years.T uesday , June 26, 2018 Page 7 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Austin Women\u2019s Institute closes its doors Submitted by Elizabeth Goodwin on behalf of all members, past and present, of the Austin Women\u2019s Institute It is with great sadness that the remaining members of the Austin Women\u2019s Institute (AWI) voted to close this branch at the end of 2017, due to dwindling numbers and the aging of its members.This branch of the Quebec Women\u2019s Institute has played an active role in the activities of the community of Austin since its inception in 1926.Initially its meetings were held in the one-room Currier Schoolhouse, which was used for many social functions.In 1942 this group initiated the Austin Garden Party which was held for many summers and was a major event in the community.The Garden Party was first held in the schoolhouse then, later, moved to the Austin Town Hall.Over the years the AWI has raised money through its social activities for bursaries to help young people with their studies, as well as many other worthwhile causes.In the 1960s funds were raised for a special project.The AWI ladies felt strongly that books should be made available for people in the community and so, through the hard work and dedication of the AWI members, the original Magog library had its start.At the beginning, the library was located in Austin but it was soon moved to a space on the top floor of the old Post Office in Magog.Wouldn\u2019t those hardworking ladies of the \u201850s and \u201860s be amazed if they could see how their library has evolved into its present day location in Magog\u2019s beautiful Ste-Marguerite Church \u2013 surely beyond anything they could have imagined! In recent years, the group has lost many members, some passed away, some moved.There were too few left to organize and hold activities and support the causes that are still dear to our hearts.And when our most stalwart member, Betty Telford, left Magog to move to Cornwall last fall, we lost our Treasurer, our Publicity person and the person who faithfully kept us organized by writing up our agenda booklet every year, by remembering all of our birthdays with cards and good wishes, by phoning to make sure we didn\u2019t forget a meeting.Without Betty to guide us, that was our sign that it was time to say goodbye.We thank you, Betty, for taking such good care of us through the years! The AWI never stopped giving and will be remembered for those looking because reports and memorabilia have been donated to the Brome County Historical Society archives.As well, the municipality of Austin plans to have the history of the AWI written.We want to thank all those people who have supported our group in its endeavours over the years.We have been so fortunate and we will miss the special friendships, and the fellowship of our monthly meetings where we would recite together the Mary Stewart Collect whose last line summed up the essence of our group by the reminder \u201clet us not forget to be kind.\u201d Austin Women\u2019s Institute By Elizabeth Cochrane Telford A starts off Austin, where this group began, U means United, and that\u2019s how we stand, S stands for

Mountains By Jackie Heim Montreal resident and documentary film maker Martine Breuillaud, founder of the Alaya Foundation, first travelled to Nepal in 2009 as part of a women\u2019s trek in the region of Jumla.Inspired by the Nepalese women she met there, she was moved to put together a documentary film called \u2018Women of the Mountains\u2019 about the story of three sisters who travelled throughout their country of Nepal and saw how hard women work.They decide to set up a school to empower women and train them to be trekking guides, formerly a job that was for the men only.Since that time Breuillaud has made several trips to this country she had fallen in love with.In April 2015 a massive earthquake struck Nepal 80 km west of the capital city Kathmandu and again almost one year later \u2013 May 2016.These earthquakes were so powerful, tremors were felt as far away as China and India.During these tragedies, more than 9,000 people died and over 600,000 homes were damaged or destroyed.Having survived the 2015 quake while in Kathmandu, Breuillaud saw first-hand the suffering and devastation caused by these events and it was impossible for her not to return to assist her Nepalese friends in the recovery and rebuilding of their communities.It was then the idea of the Alaya Foundation was born, which means \u201cthe house where on feels good\u201d.The three objectives of the Foundation are: to alleviate poverty, promote education, and develop new training programs.Focusing on the village of Budhathum 6 situated 140 Km Northwest of Kathmandu, this small hamlet of 600 inhabitants saw 110 homes damaged or destroyed, including the only school.The objective is to build a multi-purpose community center where the school once stood that would meet the educational and social needs of children and adults.Nepalese engineers skilled in anti-earthquake construction are involved and are in turn, passing their knowledge and training to the local workers, providing new skills which will allow more people to obtain gainful employment in the future and to increase their self-sufficiency.As part of the current exhibition on now at the Vieux Forgeron art gallery in Stanstead (June 14 \u2013 July 1) the work of the Alaya Foundation is highlighted, with photographs from Nepal and many handmade items for sale \u2013 all proceeds going directly to the Foundation.As part of the fundraising efforts, the Centre des Arts de Stanstead will show a screening of Breuillaud\u2019s documentary film \u2018Women of the Mountains\u2019 in English at the Vieux Forgeron Art Gallery in Stanstead on Saturday, June 30th at 7 pm.Martine Breuillaud will be on hand to tell us more about the Alaya Foundation and to answer any questions.This event is by donation and all proceeds will go directly to the Foundation to help meet the costs of construction of the community center.Gallery hours: Thurs-Sun, 11-6 pm.www.levieuxforgeron.com COURTESY Page 8 T uesday , June 26, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record The story of EmmaAlbani (1847-1930) The ?rst Canadian soprano to achieve international fame Jean-Marie Dubois -Université de Sherbrooke Gérard Coté-Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society In 2014, the City of Sherbrooke opened a street in the Rock Forest area where several streets recall famous Quebec artists.The street is named for a pioneering artist from our own country : Emma Lajeunesse, whose stage name was Albani.Emma Lajeunesse was born in Chambly in 1847.She was the daughter of Mélina Mignault (1827-1856) and of Joseph Lajeunesse (1818-1904), who was a professional musician and music teacher.It was her father who taught her the basics of music.She went first to an English school in Plattsburgh, New York and in 1858, to Sacré-Cœur du Sault-au- Récollet Convent in Montreal, where her father taught music.In 1856, she had already given her first public concert at the Institut des artisans de Montréal.In 1865, her family settled in Albany, New York.In 1868, she went to study in Paris and Milan.There, she adopted an Ital- ianized family name, Emma Albani, having in mind her adoptive city, Albany, NY.In 1872, she settled in London, joined the Covent Garden and went on to lead a singing career on the most famous European stages.She was the first Canadian soprano and pianist to become an international star.In 1878, in London, she married Covent Garden director, Ernest Gye.And in 1891-1892, she had an engagement with the New York Metropolitan Opera.She retired from opera in 1896, having played in 43 important roles, but continued to go on tours, including in Canada in 1901, 1903 and 1906.In 1897, she was awarded the Beethoven Golden Medal by the London Royal Philharmonic Society as well as Queen Victoria\u2019s Jubilee Medal of Honor.Albani often came to Sherbrooke.Following one trip in February 1896, a choir was organized in the East Ward, the Cercle Albani that continued until 1903.In 1925, King George V honoured Albani with the title of Dame Commander of the British Empire.She died in 1930 in Kensington (London), Great Britain and was buried in London\u2019s Brompton Cemetery.In 1980, on the 50th anniversary of her death, Canada Post issued a stamp in her honour.LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES CANADA The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com T uesday, June 26, 2018 Page 9 Vesele is approved by Health Canada as a Natural Health Product for the following indications; L-Arginine supports production of nitric oxide, a molecule involved in vasodilation.With the Viagra Patent About to Expire, a New Sex Pill Takes the Spotlight A patented pill costing less than $1 a dose stands to help millions of men with failing sex lives; no prescription will be required By Ray Wilson Associated Health Press TORONTO?A new sex pill is set to take the spotlight with the Viagra patent about to expire.But unlike the former, it won\u2019t require a prescription and is priced just under a $1 a dose.The new pill called Vesele is part of a new class of performance enhancers for men, which work instantaneously on the body and mind triggering arousal and ?rmer, harder erections.Formulated with a special compound known as an \u201caccelerator\u201d, Vesele can transport its active ingredients faster and more ef?ciently into the blood stream, where it begins to work its magic.The patented ingredient blend initiates a process known as vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels throughout the body to expand.This allows blood to ?ow directly to penis and genitals, resulting in harder erections which last longer.Cialis and Viagra are based around a sim- lilar concept.But what makes Vesele so remarkable, and what these other sex pills can\u2019t do, is that also directs a small portion of this blood ?ow to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal.In laymen\u2019s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on.This is why the makers of Vesele say their pill has worked so effectively in clinical trials.It stimulates the two most important organs for great sex, the penis and the brain.The Brain Erection Connection Until now, medical researchers did not fully understand the brain-erection connection.It has now been made clear with Vesele.When both are supplied with a constant blood ?ow, men are harder and ?rmer for longer.and have unbelievable sex drives.\u201cMost of the research and treatment methods for men\u2019s sexual failures have focused on physiological factors and have neglected the emotional ones.For the leading sex drugs to work, like Cialis and Viagra, you need visual stimulation\u201d explains Dr.Henry Esber, the creator of Vesele.\u201cAnd although they work for some men, the majority experience absolutely no ful?llment during sex.According to research published by the National Institute of Health, 50% of men taking these drugs stop responding or can\u2019t tolerate their side effects.and on top of that they spend $50 per pill and it doesn\u2019t even work half the time.This is what makes Vesele so different and effective.It ?oods the blood stream with key ingredients which cause arteries all over the body to expand.The patented accelerator speeds up this process even more.The result is a rush of blood ?ow to the penis and brain, helping to create an impressive erection and a surging desire for sex.Often, this is all men need to get going.And when taken regularly, many men say they are energized and aroused all day.\u201d Great Sex At Any Age With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr.Esber and his team are now offering Vesele in Canada.And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.Men across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be.In the trial above, as compared to baseline, men taking Vesele saw a staggering 85% improvement in erection hardness over a four- month period.Their erections also lasted twice as long.These same men also experienced an astounding 82% increase in the desire for sex (libido/ sex drive) and an even greater improvement in overall satisfaction and ability to satisfy their partners.Many men taking Vesele described feeling horny and aroused through the day.The anticipation before sex was amazing.They were also easily turned on.Their moods were more upbeat and positive, too.Faster Absorption into the Blood Stream Vesele is made up of three specialized ingredients: two clinical strength vasodilators and a patented absorption enhancer often called an accelerator.According to an enormous amount of clinical data, each is very safe.Research shows that with age, many men lose their desire and interest in sex.They also struggle to produce an erection ?rm enough for penetration.And although there are many theories as to why this happens (including a loss in testosterone) one thing is certain, inadequate blood ?ow is virtually always to blame.That\u2019s why sex drug manufacturers focus on blood ?ow, it makes your erection hard.But what\u2019s more surprising, and what these manufacturers have failed to consider, is that lack of blood ?ow can also kill your sex drive.That\u2019s because blood supplies energy for the brain.This energy is required for creating brainwaves that cause excitability and arousal.Studies show the Vesele stimulates the entire cardiovascular system, including the arteries that lead to both the brain and penis.The extreme concentration of the ingredients combined with the accelerator ensures that this process starts quickly.The sexual bene?ts of Vesele are also multiplied as its ingredients build up in the system over time.This is why many men take it every single day.Recent Studies Show Positive Effects on Women In the same study referenced throughout, Ve- sele was also shown to have an amazing (and somewhat surprising) effect on women too.That\u2019s because the same arteries and vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the brain and genitals are the same in men and women.\u201cIn our most recent study, women taking Vesele saw a stunning 52% improvement in arousal and sex drive.Perhaps more impressive, they also experienced a 57% improvement in lubrication.You can imagine why some couples are taking Vesele together.Everything feels better.Everything works better.Everyone performs better.It\u2019s truly amazing.\u201d A New Frontier of Non-Prescription Sex Pills With daily use, Vesele is helping men (and women) restore failing sex lives and overcome sexual lets downs without side effect or expense.Through a patented absorption enhancer, the Vesele formula hits the bloodstream quickly, resulting in phenomenal improvements in erection ?rmness and hardness.By boosting blood ?ow to the brain, users also experience sexual urges and arousal they often haven\u2019t felt in years.How to Get Vesele in Canada This is the of?cial release of Vesele in

Local Sports Brettell inscribed the initials of his sister Emily, who died suddenly at age 17 two years ago, on the custom-made glove he used for his junior season at Central Michigan University.By Melissa Couto THE CANADIAN PRESS Michael Brettell took his late sister\u2019s memory with him every time he stepped onto the mound for his college team last year.The Canadian right-hander plans to keep doing that as he begins his professional career in the St.Louis Cardinals\u2019 organization.Brettell inscribed the initials of his sister Emily, who died suddenly at age 17 two years ago, on the custom-made glove he used for his junior season at Central Michigan University.While he won't be able to use the same glove in the pro ranks - there\u2019s a Canadian ?ag stitched on it and MLB prohibits the use of gloves with different colours in game action - Brettell will write E.R.B into the palm of his new glove once he gets it.\u201cI\u2019ll carry her with me every game,\u201d Brettell told The Canadian Press in a phone interview from Johnson City, Tenn., the home of St.Louis's rookie- league af?liate.\u201cI also wear a chain that has a cross with her initials and her ?ngerprint on it, so I keep her nearby every time.\u201d Emily was a promising young rower on her high school team and the South Niagara Rowing Club when she died while working out in the Brettell family's basement in Fonthill, Ont., in August 2016.Michael was home from school following his freshman season with the Central Michigan Chippewas when it happened.His family still doesn\u2019t know what caused Emily's death.\u201cIt was not anything anyone expected because she was so healthy and in such great shape,\u201d Brettell said.\u201cIt\u2019s still undetermined.There was no underlining issue, nothing like that.\u201d Emily\u2019s death was the second tragedy to hit the Chippewas team that year.Two months earlier, the mother of Bret- tell\u2019s teammate, Colton Bradley, died in a bicycle accident.Brettell had been living with the Bradleys in their Michigan home while playing summer ball when the accident happened.He said the bond between him and Bradley began to solidify at that time, and was further strengthened when Emily died and Bradley made the 600-kilometre drive to Fonthill to be with the Brettells.\u201cSeeing him go through that was heartbreaking, just awful, and then with what happened with me, it was something else that we connected over,\u201d Bret- tell said.\u201cIt was de?nitely a nice feeling, knowing his support was there.That\u2019s not a short drive.It was nice to see him make that trip to come and support my family during that time.\u201d Bradley said he wasn't thinking about the distance when he hopped in his car.\u201cI wanted to make sure I was there for him like he was there for me,\u201d Bradley said.\u201cSeeing the way he was there for me through the loss of my mom.if we needed to go to the grocery store he would help out with that kind of stuff.He\u2019d just do whatever he could to take our minds off it.\u201cAnd so when I heard the news about his sister, I got in the car and drove out to his house.\u201d Brettell was drafted in the 15th round by the Cardinals earlier this month and reported to their rookie league team last Saturday.A ground-ball pitcher with a full arsenal, the six-foot-three, 210-pound Bret- tell said he was thrilled to be chosen by an organization that has produced some of the game\u2019s top arms in recent years.He's not sure yet if he'll be used in the rotation or bullpen just yet, but Brettell said he'll be happy either way.\u201cI know they pride themselves on ground-ball outs and working quick in the count, and that's what I try to do as well,\u201d said the 20-year-old, who throws a sinker, four-seam fastball, change-up, slider and splitter.\u201cI\u2019m de?nitely excited to be part of this organization and I'm excited to see where this takes me.\u201d Bradley\u2019s excited to see that too, calling Brettell's talent \u201celectrifying.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s got phenomenal stuff, and on top of that he works harder than anyone,\u201d said Bradley, adding he\u2019s seen Bret- tell touch 95-96 miles per hour on the radar gun.\u201cIt's really impressive to see what he can do and I know he's only going to get better.\u201d Brettell was with family and friends at his girlfriend\u2019s home in Michigan when he got the call from St.Louis on Day 3 of the draft three weeks ago.While he celebrated his accomplishment, he thought for a moment about what his sister might have said to him had she been there.\u201cMe and her had a weird relationship - she was into rowing and I was into baseball and neither of us liked each other\u2019s sports,\u201d Brettell said with a laugh.\u201cBut she would have de?nitely been proud of me.\u201cI know she would have been progressing quickly in her rowing career too, so we would have been proud of each other.\u201d Cardinals Canadian draft pick Brettell honours late sister on mound By Lori Ewing THE CANADIAN PRESS Bridget Carleton had a set of keys to the gym of her high school in Chatham, Ont., and would spend hours shooting on the court, with just the janitors to keep her company.The 21-year-old Carleton, who's currently at the Canadian women's team camp in Edmonton, said the self-disci- pline she learned during those solitary shooting sessions has proved invaluable.\u201cI think that\u2019s kind of been a huge part of my basketball career so far, especially coming from a small town, and there's no Team Ontario, or national team coaches, there's none of them in my city,\u201d Carleton said between training sessions in Edmonton.\u201cSo (Canadian coaches) had kind of given me ideas of things to work on and then I had to take ownership of that myself and go do it.And when I\u2019d see them, they expected me to have it down.So I think that's where I found the love of my game, because if I didn't love it, I would- n't have done that stuff and I wouldn't have gotten to where I am for sure.\u201d Carleton\u2019s mom Carrie, who played at the provincial level, is a phys ed teacher at John McGregor Secondary School, and if she wasn\u2019t free to rebound balls for her daughter, her keys to the gym were always available.Carleton was part of the Canadian team that won its second straight FIBA Americas championship last summer.The six-foot-one guard carried that success into this past season at Iowa State, starting all 31 games, and averaging a team-best 19.2 and 6.5 rebounds.She also led the Cyclones in steals, blocks and three-pointers made.She arrived at Canada\u2019s team camp earlier this month \u201cmuch further ahead than she was last year at this time with us,\u201d said Canadian coach Lisa Thomaidis.\u201cI have just that much more con?- dence coming into the national team stuff because I was put in such a good position last year to improve on things I needed to improve on, and kind of learn how to score a variety of different ways,\u201d said Carleton, whose parents regularly made the 11-hour drive to Ames for games.\u201cI was being guarded by some of the better athletes in the Big 12 every night almost.So it was just cool to play against some great players and be the go-to player on the Iowa State team, which has helped me a lot coming into this camp mentally.\u201d Carleton is among Canada\u2019s pool of 26 women battling for a spot on the team for the FIBA women\u2019s World Cup in September in Spain.The women - minus WNBA players Kia Nurse (New York Liberty), Natalie Achonwa (Indiana Fever), and Kayla Alexander (Indiana) - are in the ?rst of three phases of summer training.Phase 1 culminates with three exhibition games against Turkey at Edmonton's Saville Centre.The face of team has changed since Canada was eliminated in the quarter?- nals and ?nished seventh at the Rio Olympics.Several veterans retired leaving a young core that is fast and athletic.\u201cA lot of younger girls who are just athletic and can get to the rim, and be creative off the dribble, and so it's fun to be a part of that, kind of changing styles of play from what it was a couple of years ago,\u201d Carleton said.\u201cIt\u2019s a completely new look these last couple of years, with the athleticism of the team, and doing different things .just playing more up-tempo and being more creative with what we can do offensively, and putting the pressure on defence.\u201d Thomaidis said the team tested out its new up-tempo style, built around the type of players she knew she'd have available, last season, and found success.\u201cWe were really putting an emphasis on pace and speed and pressure .faster pace is the big one, and utilizing our athleticism and dynamic ability,\u201d she said.\u201cWe\u2019ve got to keep ratcheting it up for sure.It's all a process in terms of integrating these athletes when we get a chance to spend time with them, and showing them a different way of playing, and seeing how we adapt.So far so good.\u201d Kim Gaucher, who's 34 and made her senior team debut in 2001, is back after taking a year off national team

of the C.T.Q.ASK THE DOCTORS By Eve Glazier, M.D., and Elizabeth Ko, M.D.Dear Doctor: It seems like every time I turn on the news someone\u2019s freaking out about ticks and mosquitoes.Haven\u2019t they always been around?What\u2019s with the alarm bells all of a sudden?Dear Reader: The reason you\u2019re hearing so much about ticks and mosquitoes these days is because of a worrisome spike in the number of people becoming infected with the range of diseases these creatures cause.(We can\u2019t say \u201cinsects\u201d because, while mosquitoes do fall into that category, ticks don\u2019t.They\u2019re actually arachnids \u2014 like mites, spiders and their larger cousin, the scorpion.) According to a report released by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in May, the incidence of disease spread by ticks and mosquitoes has more than tripled between 2004 and 2016.In just 13 years, the number of tick- and mosquito- borne illnesses in the United States has ballooned from 27,388 reported cases in 2004 to 96,075 reported cases in 2016.Even more concerning is the fact that more than half of that increase occurred between 2015 and 2016.And the key word here is \u201creported.\u201d Not every tick- or mosquito-borne illness is identified or gets reported, so the number of people made ill by a tick or mosquito bite is quite likely higher.(The CDC\u2019s report also covers fleas, with a total of 89 reported cases of plague over the 13 years of the report.) Lyme disease accounted for 82 percent of the increase in tick-borne illness, according to the report.A closer reading of a breakout of the data reveals some troubling trends.For example, babesiosis, a malaria- like illness carried by deer ticks, went from zero cases in 2010 to more than 1,900 reported cases in 2016.Anaplasmosis, also caused by a bacterium carried by the deer tick, jumped more than 650 percent, from 875 cases in 2004 to 5,750 cases in 2016.If left untreated, the disease can cause internal bleeding, difficulty breathing, neurological problems and kidney failure.When it comes to mosquitoes, the report offers both good and bad news.Cases of Zika have gone from zero in 2015 to 41,680 the following year.Virtually all were reported in Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the U.S.Virgin Islands.West Nile virus, meanwhile, which hit a high of 5,674 cases in 2012, dropped by half by 2016.In addition, the CDC reports that nine new germs that are spread by ticks and mosquitoes have been identified since 2004.Scientists say the rise in disease rates, as well as the widening of their geographic scope, is due in part to the warming climate, which expands the pests\u2019 habitats.Global trade and travel also play a role.Our aim here is not to alarm, but to stress the importance of vigilance in protecting yourself and your family.Bottom line: Create a barrier between yourself and the potential threats.That means appropriate clothing to cover you when spending time outdoors, bug repellent for a chemical shield, and regular visual checks of your skin, scalp and clothing.And don\u2019t forget about the pets \u2014 a range of excellent meds are available to keep your furry companions tick- and flea- free as well.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.Incidence of tick and mosquito-borne illnesses growing rapidly Page 12 T uesday , June 26, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record TOWNSHIPS If you want to drink, that\u2019s your business.If you want to stop, we can help.Call Alcoholics Anonymous 1-888-424- 2975, www.aa.org LENNOXVILLE Men\u2019s general meeting, A.N.A.F.Unit 318, Wednesday, June 27 at 7 p.m.on the main floor.NORTH HATLEY Naomi Bristow, The Yodelin\u2019 Cowgirl, at The Piggery Theatre on Wednesday, June 27 at 8 p.m. Come and hear music of Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Patti Page and many more. Tickets are available by contacting Janet McBurney at 819-565-9716 after 6 p.m. Proceeds to benefit Plymouth- Trinity\u2019s UCW.GEORGEVILLE Strawberry Social at Murray Memorial Hall , June 29, 7 - 9 pm.Strawberries, biscuits, ice cream, cookies, etc.Tea & coffee.Admission charged.Benefit Georgeville United Church.AYER\u2019S CLIFF A friendly Meet & Greet organized by MP Marie-Claude Bibeau and the Federal Liberal Association of Compton-Stanstead.  4 to 6 p.m.- Thursday, June 28th at the Auberge Ayer\u2019s Cliff, 1087 Main St.All are welcome!
