MATTHEW MCCULLY By Gordon Lambie There was another ?re in Bury on Sunday night, this time at the canteen building in Memorial Park along the village\u2019s Main Street.This marks the fourth ?re in the small community since May 18, and the third since last Thursday, raising concerns in the community about the likelihood of arson.Sûreté du Québec (SQ) spokesperson Aurelie Guindon said that like the three previous ?res, there is no known cause for the Sunday night ?re yet.All four ?res remain under investigation, with no further information available at this time.Bury Fire Chief Edward Jacklin told The Record that the most recent ?re got started around 10:15 p.m.Although the structure of the canteen was not completely destroyed, Jacklin said that it will have to be rebuilt to be functional.On Monday afternoon Bury Mayor Walter Dougherty said that so far the only people who have reached out to him about the ?res were reporters.He went on to say, however, that he had noticed people around town taking steps like parking their cars in neighbours\u2019 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 Page 2 Tuesday, June 2, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Ben by

the brainchild of Virginia Wilson.\u2018I am a native Townshipper that grew up in a family of 5 on the countryside of Dunham, Quebec.My father, Norman Wilson, was a janitor at Heroes Memorial School when I was young and became a carpenter later in life.He was a continually active community member and volunteer that taught my sisters and I about our social responsibilities at a young age.\u2019 Losing her father had a tremendous impact on her life.\u2018He passed away when I was ?fteen, so I became self-suf?cient and entrepreneurial at a young age and tried to never to lose these great values.I went to school at Massey-Vanier and then Montreal, but my heart has always been in the Townships.\u2019 When post-secondary school was complete, Virginia \u2018escaped the city, and moved back to the country where she belonged.\u2019 Virginia is a renaissance woman \u2013 much of her resilience and need to forge ahead has become a great slice of her life\u2019s purpose.\u2018I have family in Knowlton and decided to move my own young family to Brome Lake from Frelighsburg in 2006.There is something special about Brome Lake and the people that live there.The sense of community and support is indescribable.I began volunteering and helping with Canada Day and the Duck Festival.These were activities near and dear to my heart growing up and I loved that they brought our community together.I worked for a few years at the Brome County News and The Record and became involved in local and federal politics.I grew close to the merchants and spent a lot of time going door to door promoting our Shop Local campaign which was organized then by the Brome Lake Chamber of Commerce.I knew my passion was to help the community, promote businesses and link people together.There were a lot of hardships and challenges and budgets were not exceptionally large.I wanted to do something to help improve communications in town and help the businesses, so I created the Facebook groups Knowlton.Com and later, Sutton.Com, Job \u2013 Emploi Brome-Missisquoi and others, but these projects did not pay the bills for my family and me, so I needed a plan B.\u2019 There is ?exibility woven into Virginia\u2019s resilience, determination and also drive to set an example for her two teenage daughters.\u2018I went back to school to study marketing in Montreal 3 nights a week and landed a couple of great positions in large companies that taught me a lot, but something was missing.I wanted to ?nd a way to merge my passion for helping the community and the businesses in the Eastern Townships with my passion for marketing and sales.I decided to take a chance and launch my own marketing company Lead Prospect in January 2020.With my background and skill set, I was able to win some larger contacts right away.This was better, but I was still missing something.I had always dreamed of united the best of the Townships in one location and have a place where the community could easily ?nd what they need or wanted in one place.My goal was to launch my project eTownships inSeptember of 2020\u2026but COVID 19 had other plans.\u2019 So many projects, plans and businesses have been derailed or rerouted by the current pandemic.\u2018When COVID 19 struct our community, I decided to put my project in override and launch it earlier than expected.My goal was to have Facebook groups and create an e-commerce platform where the community could start shopping for local products in the Eastern Townships and have them delivered or shop for the same products that we offer online at our physical store.I launched the Shopify platform E-Town- ships right away in March, bought a trailer and began picking up inventory from some of my favourite vendors and artists.The problem I was having was locating the perfect location for our physical store.\u2019 The tricolon \u2018location, location, location\u2019 is often misattributed to Lord Harold Samuel.Whoever originally af- ?rmed this was making an important point.A large part of success isn\u2019t just the right place at the right time\u2026\u2026but where is that place?\u2018I reached out to the community and received a tip of a location near the Knowlton Pub on Knowlton road.It was perfect.I could have a portion from my marketing company and the rest for the eTownships physical store.It is amazing the feeling that comes over you when you know you have done the right thing.When I signed my lease, I felt it.It was ?nally all coming together.\u2019 That little strip of businesses is known has been known as the Boardwalk, and has featured many different small shops over the years \u2013 Pikenya\u2019s beautiful wares, a barbershop, Tammy Lace\u2019s thrift-shop, known as Karma.Virginia\u2019s trailer, with the eTown- ships logo boldly featured on the site is a perfect rolling advertisement for this new Townships business hub, and can now often be seen parked in the Boardwalk\u2019s strip of parking spots.\u2018I will be promoting products, producers, farms, artists, and businesses in the Eastern Townships full-time.My store will be located in the heart of my favourite town and I will be doing what I love 7 days a week with my team.I will be hiring and shopping locally and offering paid training to my employees to help them get ahead and gain valuable experience in marketing, communications, event planning and sales.We are working hard to complete all the renovations and decorations for the launch of our new store which will take place on Canada Day \u2013 July 01 at 5pm.We may not be able to celebrate at Lions Park like we normally would each year, but I will do my best to incorporate some of that community spirit on my special day in July.\u2019 Now more than ever, such a commu- nity-spirited grouping of the best business the Townships has to offer is very welcome.When exploring how to shop local and support our local businesses, look no further than eTownships.For more information on eTown- ships, to have your business featured and to learn more about how you can support Townships businesses, (and to contact Virginia Wilson), please visit the e-Townships Facebook page,

Reporter One of the most popular beers in Lennoxville is getting a local makeover after Bishop\u2019s Arches Brewery teamed up with Brasserie 11 comtés to bring Quebecers a new twist on the university\u2019s Tropical IPA.Bishop\u2019s Arches, an extension of the up-and-coming Graduate Certi?cate in Brewing Science program and part of the chemistry department, developed the campus-favourite beer four years ago, during the program\u2019s ?rst year in existence.It became an instant hit, according to Giovanni Venditti, Brewing Science program lead and coordinator.The beer remains a go-to choice for students on campus, but he has been trying to ?nd a way to properly commercialize the product.Venditti realized the best course of action, while simultaneously growing the program\u2019s international appeal, was to engage a local brewery, so he broached the topic with 11 comtés Brewmaster Mathieu Garceau- Tremblay.\u201cOn site at the university, I don\u2019t have the infrastructure, but the university gave me the go-ahead to go commercial and it makes a lot of sense to partner with a brewery,\u201d he said.Venditti said that Garceau-Tremblay, who also moonlights as the brewing program\u2019s hops teacher, accepted the proposal with open arms, but it came with a small caveat.11 comtés, which is located in Cookshire-Eaton, emphasizes Quebec-grown products.\u201cWhen I approached him about partnering, he said it\u2019s in our DNA to use local ingredients, that\u2019s their philosophy, it\u2019s what makes them different,\u201d said Venditti.The Tropical IPA utilizes ingredients from around the world.It became an intriguing challenge for both Venditti and Garceau-Tremblay to recreate the beers pro?le using Quebec grain and other ingredients.After months of trial and error, the 11 comtés team came up with the Lagarto.The brewmaster describes the beer as Belgian-like, which is a byproduct of using their signature house brand of yeast.The beer was never meant to be a carbon copy of the Tropical IPA.According to Garceau-Tremblay, this version has the same colour and density, but it has a spiciness to it.And the name derives from the ancient Spanish term for alligator.\u201cWe were looking for a name that was good in French and in English so we found out that using a name that is neither in French or English works perfectly,\u201d said Garceau-Tremblay, explaining that the alligator is also the university\u2019s mascot.The hops specialist added that he was supposed to take on several students for internship roles.They were going to help him with the production of Lagarto, but the COVID-19 pandemic derailed any ?rst-hand learning opportunities.\u201cIt was a special year, but it\u2019s the start of a partnership that\u2019s going to last a long time,\u201d said Garceau- Tremblay.\u201cWe\u2019re supposed to brew recipes with Bishop\u2019s over the coming years based on recipes by the students.\u201d While Brewing Science is still small at the university\u2014 there were only nine students last year \u2014 it\u2019s being praised as one of the best new programs in Quebec, and in Canada.The university also decided to expand the brewing capacity to two chemistry labs.Now closed for renovations as they stock and re?t another lab with brewing equipment, Venditti and the rest of his staff are waiting for Lagarto\u2019s launch in the coming weeks.The success of this partnership will dictate the program\u2019s future.\u201cIf this works then we\u2019re going to look at other recipes students have come up with and commercialize it and it could be with other breweries, not necessarily 11 comtés,\u201d he said.COVID-19 cases CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 government for funding.\u201cFor all the artists, if you have projects, it\u2019s time to bring them forward,\u2019\u2019 Legault said.Meanwhile, COVID-19 indicators in the province continued their downward trend Monday.Quebec recorded 20 more deaths over the previous day, the lowest number of reported deaths over a 24-hour period since April 5, bringing the provincial total to 4,661.There were 295 new cases of the disease, the lowest daily number since March 26, for a total of 51,354.The number of cases in the Estrie region is stable at 934.Additionally, there were 13 fewer patients in hospital with the virus, for a total of 1,185.And 16,597 patients are considered to have recovered.Many services and business across Quebec reopened Monday after several weeks of pandemic-induced shutdowns.Daycares are now open in the greater Montreal area and in the administrative region of Joliette, a town about 65 kilometres northeast.Courthouses across the province were also permitted to reopen gradually, starting Monday, with limited seating capacity and Plexiglas barriers protecting clerks and judges.Camping is now allowed outside the Montreal and Joliette regions, as are country home rentals.Shopping malls, nail salons and other personal care centres are also reopening, but only outside Montreal.Education Minister Jean-Francois Roberge announced earlier in the day that public health of?cials have signed off on a special activity for graduating elementary and high school students that respects COVID-19 safety measures.Roberge said in a statement that many students had urged the province to act, wanting one last chance to see their friends and teachers.The ceremonies will allow for a memorable event to mark the end of their school year, including of?cial photos or a chance to sign yearbooks, Roberge said.While elementary schools have opened outside the greater Montreal area, high schools in the province are shuttered until September.The home at 621 McIver Street

meeting stay in a Zoom meeting?By Linda Knight Seccaspina For many of us, the coronavirus reality will have some memories of: \u201c6 feet apart or 6 feet under\u201d, \u201cthe toilet paper panic\u201d and\u2013 you may have found yourself entering the world of video conference calls.Years ago as a child I used to watch the Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night without fail.Walt was always full of surprises, and one evening in the 70s he showed his viewers a telephone that one day would show the caller\u2019s image while talking.Sure enough he was right, but what he didn\u2019t prophesize is how everyone\u2019s live image would adding a continuous element of self awareness.In fact each time I am on a Zoom meeting I remember the old popular TV show Hollywood Squares and am grateful I am not Paul Lynde the centre square.Disney\u2019s telephone models were career gals dressed to the nines even though we could only see them from the waist up.You knew they were not looking like they had just been a cast member from Survivor or the ?lm Castaway.So what do you wear to a Zoom meeting?The good news is you only have to dress the upper half of your body as it\u2019s really what\u2019s showing above the desk that counts, and pants are optional.I try to look halfway decent, but again I am dressed from the waist up and no one is really asking me if I have underwear on that day.With me, you get what you see, but since I began attending Zoom meetings I have never really looked at my face for such an extended amount of time.For the ?rst time I have noticed that I do have reminders of my past strokes on my face.I can see how the left side of my lip droops.In reality I never noticed that before Zoom meetings and sometimes I ?nd myself trying to adjust my lips throughout the meeting with no success.No one notices though.But, maybe they have and are just too polite to say anything.Most people have \u201cresting coffee faces\u201d on Zoom, so my lip droop just adds to the expression list.I never think about what I am going to wear at a Zoom meeting.This morning I got ready in 5 minutes ?at.I threw a mesh jacket over my PJs and topped it with one of my hats and necklaces.If people only knew.I was wearing bright and happy on the top and cozy on the bottom thanks to Hanes.Yes, Hanes.Of course some feel they don\u2019t need to see the other participants so they put up a virtual background of landscape, or Hogwarts, or just their name.They ?gure it\u2019s nobody\u2019s business to see the clutter on their desks or have people in the community gossip how bad they look in Zoom meetings.Some adjust their lighting for their best look, and I wonder if my ?ve burnt out lights in the kitchen make me look better with dimmed lighting?Sometimes I wish someone would just upload a photo of their clean living room to give me some inspiration.Does anyone notices the crumbs of my mini Ritz crackers I am munching on?What if I suddenly choke while drinking water if it goes down the wrong way?One thing is for sure\u2013 after a couple of months of no hair dye the top of my head I sport the same hair colour tones as a Yorkshire Terrier or maybe more like Big Foot.Casual Fridays have reached a new level on Zoom and every day seems to be just another day, and another Zoom meeting.I just wish I had been clever like Walt Disney to realize all this was going to really happen\u2013 that and have the notion to buy stock in Lysol Wipes and Charmin\u2019 or Cottonelle.I guess I just didn\u2019t wish upon a star hard or long enough to know what was coming.None of us did.Quebec Maple Syrup Producers set new record for maple syrup production this year The Canadian Press Quebec Maple Syrup Producers say they set a new record for maple syrup production this year.The group says this year\u2019s harvest is estimated at more than 175 million pounds of maple syrup for all of Quebec, an average yield of 3.59 pounds per tap.They say the addition of 2.3 million taps in the last two years and a chilly April help explain why this season was so successful.The organization says the pandemic had an impact on processes and methods, but the syrup kept ?owing.Changes affecting the delivery of maple syrup barrels, farm gate sales, equipment cleaning, and travel between regions were introduced, the producers say.The Quebec Maple Syrup Producers represents some 11,300 producers and 7,400 businesses.\u201cThe resilience and ingenuity of our maple syrup producers during the pandemic has certainly paid off, and I couldn\u2019t be happier,\u201d Serge Beaulieu, president of the Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, said in a statement.\u201cThis most unusual year is one we won\u2019t forget.It will go down in the history of our organization.\u201d Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter! sherbrookerecord @recordnewspaper The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, June 2, 2020 Page 5 Crises as a catalyst for change \u2013 Government really matters This week I want to back-track and dwell on a couple of issues we barely touched in past articles.Let\u2019s start with how we\u2019re governed \u2013 something we don\u2019t think about very often.It\u2019s important, ?rst because whether or not we succeed in transforming the economy depends on what kind of government we get after this crisis - one that wants a speedy return to the old \u201cnormal\u201d that rebuilds the economic structures that marginalized or discredited many Canadians - or one that wants to remake the fundamentals of our social and economic life so that everyone has a home they can afford to stay in, food to nourish them, and means to acquire the necessities of life.In other words, a society that works for everyone.As an authentically global crisis, this is also a global turning point.In Canada we need a government - in alliance with the emerging businesses that challenge the existing system \u2013 to move Canada in the direction we need to go at the rate necessary to overcome the time wasted when important decisions were kicked down the road and the game was rigged to satisfy the ruling party bagmen.So who gets elected matters \u2013 a lot.And how government policy gets implemented matters a lot too.So let\u2019s take a quick look at the public service \u2013 Canada\u2019s single largest employer, with 289,000 employees last year and Quebec\u2019s single largest employer with 78,000 employees.They run the country and province day-to-day and implement government policy.Your tax dollars and mine foot the bill not only for their salaries but for about 5 million square meters of of?ce space.Why?The public service has been creaking- ly slow to embrace technology \u2013 some systems are more than 50 years old and on the brink of failure; taxpayer money pays to maintain them.But for the last several weeks and possibly the next few months, public servants are working remotely from home.What an opportunity this is to jolt the bureaucracy into new ways of working \u2013 rethinking the need for massive of?ce buildings and embracing digital government.Historian Guy Stanley, author of Rebuilding Liberalism: Social Justice with Individual Freedom says, \u201cCanada is way better off than a lot of countries in that many Canadians are actually looking at ways to achieve the forward bounce the country needs.Creating the new institutions and making them work effectively will not be easy.But the good news is that some re?ection is taking place.Some politicians are beginning to understand the problem, but they are still missing important points like the necessity of ensuring some competitive national capacity and capability at each point in the design, build, operate, cycle for the key elements of the new 5G Industry 4.0 set up.\u201c Ann Fitz-Gerald, Director of the Bal- sillie School of International Affairs adds, \u201dThe COVID-19 outbreak has not only demonstrated the value of strong and competent government institutions and public con?dence in those institutions, but also the importance of policy informed by evidence-based analysis\u2026 This requires countries to identify what sort of civil society organizations they require and would therefore support.This will need to be done in a context where the bigger question is \u201cwhat sort of society do we want?\u201d Dian Cohen is an economist and a founding organizer of the Massawippi Valley Health Centre.Cohendian560@gmail.com Dian Cohen CARTOON BY INGRID RICE Julia Caron named new host of Quebec AM By Gordon Lambie Last week CBC Quebec named Julia Caron as the new host of its morning radio program, Quebec AM.Although the appointment is technically new, regular listeners will already be very familiar with Caron from her time spent as interim host of the show over the last several months.\u201cI never, ever, in a million years thought I would be applying to host a morning show during a pan-demic, but doing this kind of work, being a journalist but also being a voice that people want in-formation from during a pandemic really cements why we do what we do,\u201d she told The Record on Monday, sharing that the process of stepping into the host\u2019s chair has been very af?rming for her.\u201cI came on and initially thought it would be a month, then one month turned into two, and then three, and now here we are,\u201d she added with a laugh.One of the interesting ironies of her new role is that Caron has more or less switched places with former host Susan Campbell, who has started serving as a roving reporter in much the same way she was prior to taking on the interim hosting duties.\u201cI remember the ?rst time that Susan was bringing me a report from out in the ?eld, I heard from more than one listener that it was so funny to see the tables turned,\u201d she said, crediting Campbell with teaching her much of what she knows about the job.\u201cWhen I moved to this province and would turn on the radio in the morning it was still co-hosted with Tim Belford in the Eastern Town-ships.I can\u2019t believe that someone could be moving to the city now and be fumbling through the radio dial and stumble across my voice.It feels like an immense privilege and not one that I take for granted, for sure.\u201d Asked about what led her to the host job after having worked as a researcher, technician, producer and guest host on both Breakaway, the afternoon program, and Quebec AM, Caron described the chance as a once in a lifetime opportunity.\u201cHost jobs don\u2019t open up every day,\u201d she said, explaining that she got a taste for the position after having applied for the Breakaway job that ended up going to Alison Brunette in Sherbrooke a few years ago.\u201cThat was the ?rst time I had a long stint as a guest host and I realized how much I like it.\u201d While Caron said that being \u201cfront and centre\u201d is a very different experience, it comes with an en-gaging set of challenges.\u201cIt really appeals to me in every way,\u201d she said.\u201cI get to learn about the province for three hours straight every morning.I love it\u201d No stranger to the fact that Quebec AM is tasked with covering stories from all over the province, Caron shared that trying to learn about and accurately share the realities of people across such a broad range of communities never gets and easier.\u201cThat\u2019s part of what I love about the job; the challenge of trying to re?ect the diversity of stories within this gigantic beautiful province of ours,\u201d she said, sharing a particular fondness for history and stories that challenge assumptions of what it means to be an English speaking Quebecer.\u201cI love ?nding stories that re?ect the history of this province and the diversity of people who have made it what it is today.\u201d Quebec AM airs on CBC Radio One on weekdays from 6 a.m.to 8:30 a.m.COURTESY Page 6 Tuesday, June 2, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record EDITORIAL In addition to greatly increasing funding for long-term care, Ottawa should provide income

QCNA RECORD THE SOURCE Canadian Association of Journalists The Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) is outraged after hearing CBC journalist Susan Ormiston\u2019s report that U.S.police shot at her with rubber bullets and Radio-Canada journalist Philippe LeBlanc\u2019s report that police slashed his tires.Both journalists were reporting on protests sweeping across the country in the wake of George Floyd\u2019s death.\u201cSome of?cers are purposely injuring reporters.It\u2019s positively nightmarish; they are out of control,\u201d says CAJ president Karyn Pugliese.\u201cWe\u2019re not armed and we\u2019re not dangerous, unless you believe the truth is dangerous.So, I\u2019m begging police, please stop.\u201d These are not the only Canadian reporters who have had problematic interactions with police while covering the protests.Barbara Davidson, a Pulit- zer-prize winning photojournalist, said she was pushed from behind by police after identifying herself as a journalist.\u201cI was hit so hard that I went ?ying before crashing to the ground and hitting the back of my head on a ?re hydrant.Protesters picked me up, preventing me from being crushed,\u201d tweetedDavidson.Many reporters have been injured and arrested while covering the protests.Linda Tirando, a freelance journalist who has written for the Guardian, was blinded in one eye after being struck with what she believes was a rubber bullet.Last week, Canadian journalists collectively watched with utter dismay as CNN journalist Omar Jimenez was arbitrarily detained by the Minneapolis police force.As Minnesota\u2019s Gov.Tim Walz stated in a press conference held on Friday, the arrest was \u201cinexcusable\u201d and \u201cwe have got to ensure that there is a safe spot for journalism to tell this story.\u201d While that kind of full-throated apology is welcomed, authorities must do more to keep journalists safe.The CAJ supports the Committee to Protect Journalists\u2019 call that authorities across the United States tell police not to target journalists.\u201cJournalists never want to make ourselves the centre of a story, but we\u2019re seeing oppression of media that is unheard of in a democratic society.Every citizen is relying on media to be their eyes and ears during this crisis.Let us do our job,\u201d says Pugliese.Canadian authorities, too, need to do more to protect journalists.At its annual awards ceremony (held virtually) on Saturday evening, the CAJ recognized three of the journalists who were either detained, removed or threatened with arrest by the RCMP in the course of doing their jobs in Wet\u2019su- wet\u2019en.Photojournalists Amber Bracken and Jesse Winter, as well as reporter Jerome Turner, were honoured with the association\u2019s highest honour - the Charles Bury Award - which is given under circumstances of exceptional merit to those who have made a signi?cant contribution to Canadian journalism.\u201cHaving guns pointed at you is something that was novel for me, in life in general, but I was honoured to be there and honoured to have some sort of public record,\u201d Turner said while accepting the award.The CAJ is monitoring reports of Canadian journalists facing issues with the police, regardless of what country they\u2019re in.Incidents can be shared with admin@caj.ca.The Canadian Association of Journalists is a professional organization with more than 600 members across Canada.The CAJ\u2019s primary roles are public-interest advocacy work and professional development for its members.Police must stop attacking journalists covering protests in the U.S.Turning local environmental problems into global issues By Kevin McCann Full Professor, Biology, University of Guelph The current coronavirus pandemic is a poignant example of our hyperconnected planet.A small, localized infection in Wuhan, China, rapidly spread around the world on transcontinental ?ight paths in a remarkable and transformative fashion.The consequences of a massively connected globe are real and, unfortunately, not limited to disease pandemics.As an ecologist who studies landscape connectivity in natural environments and those altered by humans, I think about how human activities establish new connections across the Earth and reinforce others \u2014 and their consequences.One of the foremost human impacts on the planet comes from land modi?- cation, where large-scale conventional agriculture replaces high-diversity ecosystems with low-diversity crops.At ?rst glance, one might imagine that this fragmentation of natural habitat reduces connectivity.But a closer look reveals that the modi?cations act to move nutrients from fertilizers across farmers\u2019 ?elds and into rivers, lakes and oceans with dramatic outcomes.Flowing water, ?owing fertilizer: Conventional farm ?elds often use a system of below-ground pipes to drain wetlands and to avoid soggy landscapes.The combination of these drain tiles, lost wetlands and absence of trees and other plants (called riparian buffers) mean that unused fertilizer and sediment move rapidly into streams and rivers.These stream and rivers are often channelized (straightened and sometimes recast in concrete or metal) to move water rapidly across a region.But they also wind up rapidly shuttling excess nutrients to large water bodies, like a lake or an ocean, where they come to rest en masse.In this distant ecosystem, the fertilizer does as it is designed to do: drive the exponential growth of plants, but in this case it\u2019s feeding algae in the coastal ecosystem.In nature, this runaway growth is a hallmark of ecological instability.Because the algae are inedible to animals, they accumulate and form large green mats in the surface waters.The algae then die and sink slowly into the depths of the water, where in the dark, bacteria proliferate on the dead algae.These huge densities of bacteria make the deep waters devoid of oxygen, forming \u201cdead zones,\u201d and kill much of the local aquatic life.Connected aquatic ecosystems: Dead zones are increasing in number and size globally on the planet, producing a pandemic of diseased ecosystems.Notably, this excessive algal growth is also further fuelled by climate warming.Once again, nature\u2019s profound con- nectedness may not stop here.Other even larger impacts can occur, as coastal zones may be connected to ocean currents that gather and move the fertilized algae across the globe.Tourist hot spots in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico have mysteriously found sargassum, a macroalgae, gathered in gigantic and costly piles on beaches for almost a decade.Using impressive satellite pictures, scientists have shown that the sea- weed-laden beaches are likely driven by actions far away in the Amazon coined the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt.The story is familiar.Agricultural run-off from the ?elds in the Amazon River watershed enter the ocean and, in a warming climate, fuel the exponential growth of sargassum seaweed.This time, the large algae get picked up by an oceanic current system that moves it thousands of kilometres to the Caribbean, Florida and Africa.Other instances of macroalgal beach deposits, now collectively called green and golden tides for the colour of the algae, appear to be populating the globe with increasing frequency.Gluttonous snow geese: Other distant impacts driven by nutrients and nature\u2019s connectivity are also occurring.Migrating snow geese arrive at Middle Creek Wildlife Area in Lancaster County, Penn., in March 2015.(AP Photo/Penn- Live.com, Sean Simmers) Snow geese populations, for example, that overwinter in the southern U.S.and eat cereal crops have grown enormously since the 1950s.Scientists documented the rise in snow geese parallel to the increased application of industrial nitrogen as a fertilizer.While news of the globe\u2019s hypercon- nectivity is grim, it also holds in it a simple and hopeful solution.The ?ip side of nature\u2019s connectivity is that \u201cacting local\u201d is indeed \u201cthinking globally.\u201d Importantly, farmers recognize these problems.Farming groups like ALUS in Canada take the state of the environment seriously and play a leading role in agricultural land-use approaches that tackle these serious problems.In a time where the ill effects of an over-connected planet are abundantly clear, we also need to slow the transmission of nutrients that expand the planet\u2019s diseased ecosystems. The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, June 2, 2020 Page 7 Run-n-gun brookies The volatility of spring weather in Canada is comical\u2014and the impetus for an in?nite stream of bad jokes and small talk\u2014but does anybody else, like me, feel that we missed out on spring almost entirely in 2020?Abbreviated transitional seasons and extreme weather are quietly becoming the \u2018new normal.\u2019 In eastern Canada, the current spring season has been characterized by unusually low water and hot weather in various locales.In response to mother nature\u2019s swift movement from snow ?urries to heat waves, I\u2019ve shifted my angling efforts from the lower reaches of local watersheds to their headwaters.As usual, angling success this spring will hinge on adaptation\u2014to low water and warm temperatures, in this instance.Generally speaking, trout ?shing is good in water temperatures from 45- 65, where insect and aquatic ecosystem activity, ?sh metabolism, and comfortable weather overlap.When water temperatures exceed 65, trout metabolism and activity begin decreasing signi?- cantly, and selective angling becomes problematic due to the signi?cant physiological consequences of catching and releasing trout in warm water.Trout anglers who want to extend their season can continue to ?nd cold water by shifting their efforts further upstream, to areas where the sun\u2019s warmth is still ?ghting a losing battle.Headwaters are often home to the crowd-pleasing, challenging, and yet forgiving adversaries that are brook trout.In brook trout ?shing, there\u2019s a special game to be played that I\u2019ve referred to previously as \u2018ditch-hopping,\u2019 which is motivated by the prospect of ?nding a \u2018hidden gem.\u2019 If catching big ?sh is your ideal, your approach to brook trout ?shing in our region\u2019s streams is probably mistaken.Brook trout have a unique connection to our landscape: they\u2019re native to our numerous overlooked \u2018trickles,\u2019 unlike brown and rainbow trout.It\u2019s a great accomplishment to discover a population of pure, wild brook trout that has gone unimpacted and relatively undetected after more than a century of land development and angling\u2014 perhaps much greater than catching a transplanted brown or rainbow trout of a much larger size.For ditch-hopping, there\u2019s no better tool than an ultralight spinning rod, which affords anglers versatile bait and presentation options, casting accuracy, and portability.Part of the allure of ditch-hopping is its simplicity: when ?shing (conventional) gear, I\u2019ve rarely found it helpful to carry anything beyond small in-line spinners, split shot, and bait hooks.Even the best live bait options (e.g., worms, grasshoppers) are abundantly available on-location.Moving between spots is made easy and pleasurable by carrying only what you can ?t in your pant pockets.Deadly as the UL spinning rod is, the resurgence of ?berglass ?y rods has dramatically increased the fun that can be had while prospecting for stream trout.A 7\u2019 2wt \u2018glass\u2019 rod creates surprisingly fun ?shing opportunities under circumstances that might otherwise be considered boring.Simple, buoyant dry ?ies like the Yellow Sally and Goddard Cad- dis are virtually all that\u2019s needed when ?sh are willing to move, and some basic streamer and nymph patterns can be added, rounding out a rustic Altoid tin ?y selection.Anglers with an appreciation for ?nesse will enjoy ?ipping spinners and skating ?ies around timber and undercut banks\u2014?y anglers in particular should familiarize themselves with the \u2018bow and arrow\u2019 and/or \u2018sneak\u2019 cast.Terms like \u201chidden gem\u201d and \u201cspot-hopping\u201d may give this away, but my approach to ditch-hopping involves much moving around.Ditch-hopping can be passive or active, and is made possible by always keeping a rod and some basic gear in your car\u2014prospective trout streams tend to pop up during all types of travel, especially to higher elevations.Background research and a good local tip can provide good initial leads, and you can organize your explorations by constantly working outward from your best clue at a given time.After you\u2019ve identi?ed a sure-?re starting point\u2014by a reliable ?rst-per- son account, ?nding premium habitat, or actually catching a trout\u2014you can explore outward by checking peripheral spots within an incrementally wider perimeter.Water temperature is an important variable to consider in your search for trout habitat, and relates closely to elevation.If you have access to a topographic map, you can identify other stream areas that may contain brook trout by following a contour line which intersects prime trout water in another location.When conditions are favourable, a good presentation is often rewarded quickly, as small stream trout are rarely in a position to pass up a potential meal.If the presence of trout isn\u2019t evident, move quickly to the next promising spot\u2014this is where the run-n- gun philosophy comes into play.The best anglers from every generation have been persistent in their efforts, and disciplined in their record-keeping.Take pride in the growth and sophistication of your angling database! Your return to a brook trout stream that is all but unknown outside of your private records will provide ample validation for your efforts.Andrew Howarth On The Hook PHOTO CREDIT: ANDREW HOWARTH Can you spot the brook trout?Though bright and beautiful when held, brook trout are virtually invisible in-situ.Like an experienced angler\u2019s secrets, brook trout are naturally ?eeting.

in the case of a downpour, the plants will drink up what they need and allow the rest to run off.Do Just One Thing The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, June 2, 2020 Page 9 TOWNSHIPS\u2019 CRIER ONLINE Townshippers\u2019 Association presents Looking Ahead: Living wills and mandates, Friday, June 5, 10 a.m.to 11 a.m.Free online or phone-in activity.To reserve, email: mlj@townshippers.org.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 Dear Annie TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 2020 Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 43 years.I have a good life, or so I thought.I recently found out that he has had an affair.When I asked him about it, he told me that it was only for eight months.And he said the reason was because I would not initiate sex.Ha, that is a two-way street.Anyway, I did some checking and found out that it was for two years.He has seen her on Christmas and New Year\u2019s Eve.And he even met with her on OUR anniversary.Then I found out that he went to see her a few hours after I had major lung surgery.He has cried and told me how sorry he is.And how dumb he was for doing this.Every day since I found this out, he has said he is sorry.But here is my problem.First, he lent her some money - not much, but $400, and she paid back $100.He has been calling her wanting the rest.I found out he called her, and he told me yes, he wants his money.I told him to forget it.Second, he has had back surgery three times.The last one left him with numbness and weakness in both legs.And he now has some kind of erectile dysfunction.So I am wondering if he stopped seeing her to come to me so I can take care of him.We have had sex, but he is different somehow.It is not the same as it used to be, and it really makes me wonder.How do I get over this feeling that he may still be seeing her and talking to her?I found a burner phone with her number on it.I broke it.I don\u2019t want to go to counseling.Just some easy steps to get over all this garbage.- Sucker- Punched in Indiana Dear Sucker-Punched in Indiana: It\u2019s time to start punching back.Not literally, of course, but through your actions.You might not want to go to counseling, but you really don\u2019t have a choice - for your sake, not his.Your husband has treated you very unfairly, and you deserve better.Trust your gut.If you feel that things are different, then chances are things are different.Different can be OK.While change is scary, it can also be wonderful for transformation.But you have to do the work.Figure out what makes you happy and what you want out of life.Hopefully, through therapy, you can learn to forgive your louse of a husband for what he did and move on - with him or without him.In the end, that will be your decision.But in the meantime, it is very important for you to focus on yourself.Sadly, there is no quick ?x, but if you do the emotional work each day, you will get better and better.Eventually, you will be so far removed from the feelings that he has in?icted on you that you will wonder how someone as wonderful as you ever dealt with a partner who lied and betrayed you.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

After a black-suit lead from West, declarer might just draw trumps and, knowing that West has at least eight major-suit cards, play a diamond to dummy\u2019s ace.He will have no more worries.A much more successful choice by West is the heart ace.When East follows with the jack, West, hoping that his partner\u2019s card is a singleton, continues with the heart 10, a suit-preference signal for the higher-ranking of the other two side suits.East ruffs this trick and, as requested, returns a diamond.West trumps that, gives his partner another heart ruff and trumps the second diamond to take the contract down two.In the next cartoon, Snoopy gives his mechanics a dressing-down.Woodstock then asks something.Snoopy answers, \u201cWell, with three kings, I\u2019d have gone right to six spades.\u201d That might have referred to yesterday\u2019s deal."]
