At the end, after I nod my approval in the mirror, with René holding the hand mirror to remind me that the back of my head is funny looking, he\u2019ll ask, \u201cDo you want something in it?\u201d Sometimes I'll say yes, if I'm feeling gel-y, sometimes no if I want to let nature take it\u2019s course.One time we tried something called \u201cclay.\u201d One time.René asks after my family, I ask after his.He asks if I'm doing any shows at the Haskell, I ask if he\u2019s planning any traveling.We chat.And this is where things are going to get tricky when René retires.There are other places willing to cut my hair.But René\u2019s English is perfect.My French is not perfect.Whatever is the opposite of perfect, c\u2019est ça.Years ago, on a whim, I stopped for a haircut in the mall in Magog.A stranger sat me in her chair.She had many different colours in her hair, but I tried not to let that panic me.\"Est-ce que les mouches mangent les cheveux aujourd'hui, monsieur?\u201d she asked me, or something like that, or maybe she was talking to a streak-haired co-worker.\u201cOui?\u201d I replied.\u201cC'est du plastique arbitraire avec des billards supplémentaires,\u201d she said, maybe.\u201cHeh-heh.\u201d I replied.After that, we were quiet.The kind of quiet like a blind date that can\u2019t end too soon.The kind of quiet you can cut with thinning shears.Because clearly she was dealing with an imbecile.I\u2019m an imbecile in French.I'm an imbecile in English too but at least I'm an imbecile loquaciously.In French I'm just dumb and, well, dumb.The prospect of silently, uncomfortably sitting in a chair while someone trims my hair based on the guesswork of my rudimentary French instructions \u2014 that\u2019s too much.A haircut without chitchat is a procedure.And how do you say \u201cno clay\u201d?Consequently, if and when René retires, I will have to leave the province quicker than you can say, \u201cJean-Francois Lisée est un gros boob.\u201d Or I suppose I could just move to Montreal, where I could walk into any downtown salon, point at my head and say, \u201cBonjour - hair!\u201d WETLANDS ARE DISAPPEARING RA Xx Protect them.Become a member today.www.ducks.ca [ #1-866-384-DUCK@ Us Unlimited Canada UN Co 59 L + #7 Cr 4 IH NL A | \\ 0 hn el y SNL Rd] !

from the CNESST, Quebec\u2019s workplace health and safety board.According to CNESST spokesperson Julie Fournier, Powell, owner of the business Transport Powell, was alone in his garage on Monday evening.There were no witnesses to the incident, Fournier said.The last contact made with Powell was at 5 p.m.He was found at 6:30 p.m.by someone making a tire delivery.Powell was pinned under a piece of metal.According to Fournier, it appeared Powell was cutting a large piece of metal and it somehow fell on him, landing on his thorax.Powell was transported to hospital where he died of his injuries.Fournier said the CNESST is continuing the investigation in an effort to determine the circumstances surrounding Powell being pinned under the piece of metal.Ste Jeanne d\u2019Arc church in

Affairs.\u201cCompared to a swimming pool, which has to be manned by student lifeguards, a splash pad will be available for use longer and to more people.\u201d Dupuis and Hardy took questions from the school children for at least ten minutes following the conference, clarifying how the money was secured, what types of apparatus the town is looking at installing, and clarifying the fact that the installation of the new equipment does not mean the removal of any existing equipment in the park.One student congratulated the mayor and council on their decision, noting that water games were an appropriate choice for a town called Waterville.1970s.The congregation previously had a location on McManamy Street, and most recently a garage in Fleurimont, which they intended to renovate to suit

Montreal area each week to say mass, held Friday evenings at 6:30 p.m.and Sunday mornings at 11 a.m.The mayor also congratulated the students for their engagement with the project.\u201cI was very impressed by the work you did with your teachers,\u201d Dupuis told the students, explaining that although parents offered feedback during community consultations she found it very interesting to hear directly from the children who will be using the park.\u201cI found your research to be serious and a great source of motivation.\u201d The mayor explained that all of the students researched the question of whether a pool or splash pad would be better for the town and sent letters in to city hall to share their findings.After the letters had been received, Dupuis said that she got regular

doors to Phelps students on Tuesday, welcoming the grade 5 and 6 students from our Elementary Homework Program.We walked down the road from Sunnyside Elementary on our adventure, the students chatting about what types of questions they wanted to ask the residents of the Manoir and throwing the occasional snow ball.\u201cWhat advice do you have for young people?\u201d, \u201cWhere did you grow up?\u201d and \u201cWhat are your favourite activities at the Manoir?\u201d were particularly intriguing to the students.Once there, we were greeted by the staff and residents, and quiet curiosity descended upon the group.Teams of students sat with different residents and were intent on asking their questions and listening to the insightful answers.After asking all their questions, one group was able FRONTIER ANIMAL SOCIETY to help a resident finish a beautiful puzzle he was working on, while other groups had a chance to share some juice and cookies provided by the kind staff.The residents also took the opportunity to ask questions of their own; \u201cWhat do you want to do when your older?\u201d was a question that made the students stop and think about their futures.Intergen- erational activities like our field trip to the Manoir Stanstead are an opportunity for different groups within the community to learn from one another and build a relationship, and I believe we did just that.A big thank you to the Manoir Stanstead for hosting our group of students.Phelps Aide Phelps Helps is a rural community non-profit providing Stanstead area youth with free

her walks al- at once feels like an overabundance of most as much as she loves people.She cuteness and love.Jack (white with dark grey spots) and Jill are sweet little shih tzus who are happy, friendly and very good natured.These two buddies were dropped off at an in-home boarding facility and for some unknown reason, their former owner decided she didn't want them anymore.We can only guess that when she first brought them home, she hadn't quite clued into the concept that dogs are a lifetime responsibility and commitment.Jack and Jill are adjusting and we WILL find them a loving and permanent home but it always sad when any animal loses their home.Jack and Jill get along with cats and other dogs and are very people friendly.They love going out for walks and are lively and engaged.Jack is 8 and Jill is 6 so they have a lot of great years ahead.Although we recognize that placing two dogs together can sometimes take little longer, ideally we are looking for a home where their lifelong friendship can continue to grow.They are a comfort to one another and truth be told, they make for a very cute couple, under bites and all.We also recently welcomed Caty, who is an incredibly adorable mix.We're calling her a Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher becomes very attached so no doubt she'll quickly establish a bond with her adopter.Caty is affectionate and loves to be cuddled.She is good with other dogs but especially enjoys interacting with dogs her own size.If a big dog gets into her \"bubble\" and is a little excited, she will bark at him or her but we can't really blame her.Caty is great with cats and we are told she is comfortable and good na- tured with kids too.Kids do, however, need to understand how to properly interact with dogs.Caty is a real cutie who will be a great snuggle buddy through the long cold winter.All three are very trusting and just want to share their joy of life with the Tack and Jill B people in their presence.Their happiness is infectious.You can\u2019t help but be charmed by these truly sweet and loving little beings.Our hope is to find all of them a home before the holidays.To inquire, please send an email to

Gaelic version of Germany\u2019 sauerbraten.It is to the Scot what linguine is to Italy.And it is in danger here in Canada.Potential Hogmany haggis shortage TiM BELFORD knows we have enough crises on a daily basis to give us pause for thought.It\u2019s just that there\u2019s no way around it.We\u2019re facing a potential Hog- manay haggis shortage.For the initiated, \u201cHogmanay\u201d is the Scots term for New Year\u2019s and it\u2019s one of the primary feast days of that kilt-wear- ing, pipes-playing nation.It is followed a mere twenty-four days later by the other day of celebration, Robbie Burns Day.Robbie Burns being the brilliant and completely incomprehensible national poet of Scotland.Part of both events is the consumption of the national dish, haggis.Again, for those of you who claim no Celtic heritage let me explain.Haggis is to the Scot what Warwick poutine is to the pure laine Quebecois.It is genuinely, uniquely, unchallengedly an expression of the nation.It is Scotland\u2019s answer to the French coq au vin.It is the Gaelic version of Germany\u2019 sauerbraten.It is to the Scot what linguine is to Italy.And itis in danger here in Canada.Haggis, you see, is made in a particular manner with a precise selection of ingredients.First you mince and then combine the kidneys, liver, heart and lungs of a lamb.Mix in steel-cut oats, spices, herbs and chopped onion.This delightful mixture is then stuffed into a lamb\u2019s stomach - previously cleaned, washed and wiped of course - and then the whole thing is poached for three hours.The resulting delight has been compared to a fine pate, amongst other things.So far so good.That is until the Canadian government stepped in.According [iso want to create a panic.Lord to Canadian law, animal lungs can no longer be imported into the country for human consumption.In this sense the lamb\u2019s lungs have been placed in the same category as udders, spleens, pig intestines and genitals which have been similarly banned.As if any Scot would eat genitals in the first place.Oddly enough, animal lungs can and are consumed in this country and have been for many years.Apparently, it\u2019s just foreign lungs that our political masters are concerned about.Now, you may ask why does this outrageous and unjustified lung embargo create a problem in the first place?Well, it seems, strangely enough, that there is a decided shortage of haggis makers in our fair nation and we are forced to rely on imports.Yes, even though the number of those claiming Scottish decent in Canada now nearly equals the entire population of Scotland itself, there are but a handful of butchers and cooks skilled in this essential trade.Thus, even though this ancient food product is not exactly jumping off the shelf, there is still enough of a demand for the real thing that there is a danger that many of those celebrating the Bard\u2019s birth on January 25 will go without.To solve the problem, Macsweens of Edinburgh, a well-known purveyor of fine foods, has introduced its export haggis designed for the North American market.In place of the lungs Macsweens will use more heart in the mixture and in one deft stroke side step the Canadian health restrictions on lungs and, at the same time, supply the hundreds of diaspora Scots longing for this taste of home.Mind you, as is always the case, the purists will not be assuaged.Paul Bradshaw, a Toronto butcher of Scottish extraction and one who makes haggis the old fashioned way, was quoted in Maclean\u2019s magazine recently saying Mac- sweens was merely \u201c.exporting haggis- flavoured lamb sausage.\u201d The shame! All this being said, I suggest if you're planning a happy Hogmanay or a genuine Burn\u2019s Supper, get your order in quickly or you'll just have to do without.THE 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 STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .vvinininnnnnnnn (819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .covvvvununnnn.(819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION NEWSROOM ee (819) 569-9528 ee ae (819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE DB VicroriA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, JOE 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST TOTAL QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 135.60 6.78 13.53 $155.91 6 MONTHS 7119 356 710 $81.85 3 MONTHS 36.16 1.81 3.60 $41.57 ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 71.50 3.58 713 $82.21 1 MONTH 649 032 0.65 $7.46 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 4, CSS) THERE A GUY HERE WHO WANTS TO KNOW | IF YOU WANT TO BUY A USED [fg SUPERSONIC, UNTRACEABLE ell AIRCRAFT THATCAN JI Tis 2 FLY AROUND THE WORLD OT ; IN ONE NIGHT, - nT SAN \\ | | LA LA % RNR bb A Fer y imite NH NS A ; À I 1 : [7 IN = pe 4 re LÉ er Im Letters DEAR EDITOR; our (slightly belated) \u201cThank you\u201d to The Townships Tellers for the generous donation of $124 following their event on October 19.The Tellers are one of our much-appreciated community groups who hold their monthly meetings at Uplands, and we are deeply grateful for the generosity they have always shown.We look forward to many more years of sharing in this cultural partnership, which we believe is of mutual benefit to both organizations!

impact with the men's national team.\u201d Atiba Hutchinson named Canada's top male soccer player for sixth time By Neil Davidson THE CANADIAN PRESS Canadian male soccer player of the year for the sixth time.The 34-year-old midfielder from Brampton, Ont., helped Besiktas to its second straight Turkish league title in 2016-17.Hutchinson and Besiktas have also reached the round-of-16 of the Champions League after a Turkish- record performance in the group stage.Hutchinson leads the Turkish league in pass completion this season at 94.6 per cent.It's the fourth year in a row that Hutchinson has won the Canadian Soccer Association award, decided in voting by Canadian coaches and media.He also won in 2010 and 2012.\u201cObviously I'm very delighted,\u201d Hutchinson said in an interview.\u201cTo have done it six times is something very special .It's amazing.I'm very honoured and proud.\u201cI've put in a lot of work.To have people recognize it and appreciate what I've done, I'm very grateful for.\u201d The women's winner will be announced Thursday.Hutchinson finished ahead of runner- up Scott Arfield of Burnley and Alphonso Davies (Vancouver), Patrice Bernier ( Montreal), Milan Borjan (Red Star Belgrade) and Junior Hoilett (Cardiff City).Hutchinson, who made his debut for A tiba Hutchinson has been named Canada at the age of 19, has won 78 caps to tie Mark Watson for fifth on the all- time list.He has captained his country six times, most recently in a 2-0 win over Jamaica in September.\u201cHe is playing at the highest level competing against the best in the world and his stats place him among the best of the best,\u201d Canada coach Octavio Zam- brano said in a statement.\u201cWith Canada against Jamaica, you could just tell that his presence alone both on and off the field made a huge impact with the men's national team.He is at the top of the game and he is more than worthy of winning this award for the 2017 season.\u201d Besiktas made waves by winning its Champions League group with a 4-0-2 record, finishing ahead of Portugal's Porto, Germany's Leipzig and AS Monaco.The only other teams to emerge unbeaten from the group stage were Barcelona, Liverpool and Tottenham.The first Turkish team to top a group and qualify undefeated, Besiktas also set a record for most points (14), goals (11) and wins (4) by a Turkish team in group play.Its reward is a round-of-16 date with five-time European champion Bayern Munich.Hutchinson, known as the Octopus for his long legs and ability to shield the ball, led all Besiktas players in covering more than 50 kilometres over the five group games.The Black Eagles currently stand fourth in the Turkish Super League with a 7-2-6 record, five points behind leader Galatasaray (10-3-2).Hutchinson joined Besiktas in 2013 after three seasons with PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.In 2015, he signed a two-year contract extension.He started his career in Scandinavia with Osters

Edwards celebrated winning the MLS Cup final with Toronto FC.The 22-year-old wingback from Mis- I: been four days and three teams sissauga found himself _ briefly _ a member of Los Angeles FC when he was taken with the fifth and last pick of Tuesday's expansion draft.LAFC promptly flipped Edwards and Finnish defender Jukka Raitala, taken fourth from Columbus, to Montreal for star defender Laurent Ciman.THE CANADIAN PRESS/NATHAN DENETTE Toronto FC forward Raheem Edwards (44) celebrates a goal by Jozy Altidore against the Houston Dynamo during first half MLS soccer action in Toronto on Friday, April 28, 2017.On Monday, Edwards was celebrating a championship in a Toronto victory parade.Before dinner time Tuesday, he found himself a member of the Montreal Impact, TFC's fiercest rival.\u201cMy head's all over the place,\u201d Edwards told The Canadian Press on Tuesday night.\u201cIt's been a whirlwind obviously .A lot of emotions, but I'm ready to work wherever I go and it's Montreal so I'm ready to work for Montreal.\u201d Edwards had an inkling he could go in the expansion draft.After that, he knew anything was possible in Major League Soccer.Montreal was a twist, but he says he's ready to represent a new Canadian team.His message to Toronto fans was simple.\u201cJust thank you guys, man, for sticking with me and then all the kind messages.And how they welcomed me with open arms.It's just been unbelievable.I will never forget that.I will never forget them and obviously I love them to death.I always have love for Toronto FC.\u201d Edwards won a spot on Toronto's senior roster this year with a strong training camp.He went on to start 10 games and appear in 21, registering one goal and six assists.Able to play both sides of the field, he proved to be a difference-maker off the bench with his speed and crossing ability.Toronto signed Edwards in March, the 14th player in club history to sign for the first team from the TFC academy.The former Sheridan College player had signed a short-term agreement with the senior team in 2016, making his debut for the first team as a substitute June 29 against Vancouver in the Canadian Championship.He made his MLS debut July 2 that year against Seattle as a substitute.Edwards made 41 appearances for TFC 2, scoring eight goals with five assists.\u201cRaheem is a young, versatile, and exciting Canadian international that will fit in nicely with our group,\u201d Impact technical director Adam Braz said in a statement.\u201cHe is quick and crafty and poses a lot of problems for the opposition in the attacking third of the field.\u201d The Impact also upped their video game game.Edwards counted himself as one of TFC's best FIFA video game players.p pressreader PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY

autumn.TODAY'S HISTORY: In 1799, George Washington died at Mount Vernon, his home in Virginia.In 1819, Alabama was admitted as the 22nd U.S.state.In 1911, explorer Roald Amundsen and Beverley Anne (Haddon) Noble UPSHAW On Monday, December 11, 2017, Beverley Anne (Noble) Upshaw (née Haddon) of Strathmore, AB (formerly of North Haltey, QC) passed away peacefully at the Strath- more Hospital at the age of 78 surrounded by her children.Bev was predeceased by her husband H.Dean Upshaw (December 2013).She is survived by her son Christopher Noble, daughter Kerry Noble, stepdaughter Shannon Collens, grandchildren Mark Zanewick, Brittany Noble, Matthew Noble, stepgrandchildren Bobby Upshaw, Samantha Upshaw, Morgan Collens, Madison Collens, great-grandchildren Kelsey Upshaw & Hayden Upshaw, brother Ronnie Haddon (Lennoxville, QC), and cherished nieces and nephews.Bev taught for many years at North Hatley Elementary School, where she was known as Mrs.Noble, before moving to Strathmore, AB in September of 1980 to begin a new chapter of her life out west with her children Chris and Kerry.Bev was a strong and independent woman willing to take risks to support those that she loved.She immediately gained employment with the Wheatland School Division and taught at Westmount School, Samuel Crowther Junior High, and retired as Principal at Carseland School.After retirement, Bev remained an enthusiastic substitute teacher who was regularly called upon to fill in as her peers knew that she would make the students work.Bev demonstrated her strength and conviction in so many areas of life \u2014 she lived by her own standard and helped bring the best out in others through this.She most recently showed this courage during her battle with dementia in recent years, and was always able to find her own ways to meet her challenges head on as well as breaking through the confines of dementia and communicate.A firm, fair, and fun teacher, Bev touched the lives of many students throughout her years of teaching and from her enthusiastic role in the community.Bev volunteered each year at the Strathmore Heritage Days, and loved interacting and visiting with all people.Bev also helped anyone in need and shared her personal struggles to help motivate people to overcome theirs so they weren\u2019t alone.Many may not know today, but Bev pioneered the \u201cEastern Canada Trip\u201d where Strathmore students visit Quebec and Ontario, which still takes place every year.Although transplanted from Eastern Canada, Bev truly felt home in Strathmore and loved her community.Bev will be dearly missed - but fondly remembered - by all of the teaching family, friends, and loved ones in her life.A celebration of Bev\u2019s life will take place on Friday, December 15, 2017 at Strath- more Alliance Church (325 - 1 Ave, Strathmore, AB) at 10 a.m.Another celebration of life will be held in Lennoxville, QC in the new year.If you would like to make a

Husband\u2019s online activities causing insecurity THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2017 Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 22 years, and to my knowledge, he has always been committed to me and our family.However, recently he upgraded to a new phone, and I have found he is continually exploring porn and pictures of nude women.I know that all guys look at this from time to time, but now he carries around this mini computer and views it mostly at work.He has also gotten into Facebook.He didn\u2019t previously care what people were doing, but now, all of a sudden, he feels the need to friend everyone he\u2019s ever known.I\u2019ve talked to him about his time on Facebook, and he just brushes it off as \u201csomething new.\u201d I have never felt so insecure in all our years together as I have recently, and I'm at a loss as to how to get past his media cheating on our relationship.Why are most men this way?Can\u2019t we, the ones they vow to love to eternity, be enough?\u2014 Problems in Pennsylvania Dear Problems: Quit snooping, and start talking with your husband about your concerns.I see nothing wrong with his adding old friends on Facebook, but compulsive viewing of porn can lead to addiction and Dear Annie damage real-world relationships.And if he\u2019s doing this at work, he not only is putting his job at risk but also could face legal consequences if he gets caught.To navigate these volatile, sensitive issues in a way that feels safe for you both, enlist the aid of a marriage counselor.Ask your husband to attend a few sessions, with the goal of reaching an understanding.Dear Annie: I\u2019ve seen people writing to you about being bothered by the phrase \u201cno problem\u201d as a response to \u201cthank you.\u201d Here is something else to mull over: Why is it that store associates, restaurant servers and others feel the need to say \u201cyou guys\u201d to would be suitable?What\u2019s wrong with saying, \u201cCan I get anyone a beverage while you look at the menu\u201d?Leave the \u201cyou guys\u201d for your friends at the gym.\u2014 Not Fond of \u201cYou Guys\u201d on Cape Cod Dear Not Fond of \u201cYou Guys\u201d: \u201cYou guys\u201d is often regarded as the Northeastern counterpart to \u201cy\u2019all\u201d \u2014 a catchall way to address a group, meant to connote warmth with its casualness.Obviously, it\u2019s missing the mark with you, and l\u2019m sure you're not alone.l\u2019m not sure what the answer is except to make people aware that some are offended by the term.To that end, l\u2019m printing your letter.Send your questions for Annie Lane to: dearannie@creators.com.customers\u201d?For instance: \u201cCan I get you guys some beverages while you look at the menu?\u201d This is not just happening at fast-food places.It\u2019s happening in many other businesses in the Northeast.SUDOKU I am a senior woman, not a \u201cguy.\u201d The DIFFICULTY RATING: Yr dir yy servers probably think nothing of it other than as a way to say, \u201cCan I help you?\u201d But being 51 197 ] 48 called \u201cyou guys\u201d surely puts the hairs up on the back of my neck.Is there a response that

Don Watson introduced Nate Lavey, a film maker working for the Museum of New York City.He hopes to film some of the activities of our club and may even return for more filming at a later date.The kitchen staff and the White Knights were heartily thanked for their good work.Then our jokester, Dave Moore, told stories to make us laugh - one of a mountain man who joined the Marines, another of an intoxicated patron who was thrown out of a bar three times, and another of the Mayberry characters of TV fame and their antics.Next up, the winners of the door prizes were announced.Vern Dougherty and Gerald Parent were the fortunate two members to be awarded.This was followed by the sing-along with Jan Graham at the piano and led by Chorister Phil Kerwin and friends.Several songs were sung - the \u201cOld Grey Mare\u201d, \u201cPaper Roses\u201d, \u201cWild Irish Rose\u201d and \u201cHome On The Range\u201d followed by the spiritual \u201cThe Old Rugged Cross\u201d.Pictures of bygone days were circulated among the members and guests.Wendell Cass presented photos of a snowshoe club in Saranac, New York dated back to the 1890s, and a World War II photograph of his uncle in the Canadian Army prior to his death in 1944.Fellow member Chris Galvin also offered a photo of a troop ensemble in Europe dated 1942.Honorary Treasurer Jack Noble then presented the guest speaker for the evening, Brendalee Piironen, Executive Director of the Wales Home in Cleveland, Quebec.She has been involved with the Home for the past 29 years and as Executive Director for 10 years.She gave a brief history of the Home, founded in 1921 from the estate of Mr.Horace Pettes Wales.Its purpose was to provide quality care for the \u2018elderly of the English Protestant community.Over time a number of additions have been added to the original building, and over the last couple of years even greater changes have taken place.There are now plans to renovate & modernize several more of the older parts of the Home, redesigning rooms to provide private bathrooms, lifts, etcetera, creating one and two bedroom suites with kitchens.New triple glazed thermos windows, geothermal heating, extensive sprinkler systems and superior firewall protection will be part of these changes.In the final analysis, the Wales Home begins its second century of existence with a great deal to offer the English community, and is currently the only English seniors\u2019 facility to be government supported.Past President Don Watson thanked Brendalee for her most interesting presentation.The meeting concluded, members dispersed for the usual post-meeting activities.> Brersrooke Submitted by Don Parsons, SSSC Captain p pressreader PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY
