Centre(CABMN) Youth Centre a challenging and creative time for the Ethan Ball, Coordinator and Eleanor Cote, Animator of the programs offered through the non- pro?t.Being able to keep the youth interested and implicated has meant changing things up and ?nding new ways to stay connected to the youth in the community.One group that has maintained its involvement is the SADD chapter that has found a variety of ways to follow pandemic directives yet remain a congealed, active and supportive group in the community.With twelve implicated youth and two youth participants with part-time residence in Potton, the group ranges in ages from 11 to 16 with some dynamic participants contributing to its success and sustainability.On Saturday, June 5 the SADD group was invited to a special awards ceremony held at the youth centre located at 282 Principale in Mansonville.The event started at 4:00 p.m.and continued through to 9:00 p.m., with awards (the Ducky\u2019s\u2019), the awarding of the of?cial SADD member of the year plaque spanning three years of recipients being recognized, Kate Eldridge (2017 and 2018), Savannah Jersey (2019) and Nora Webster for 2020, as well as continued excellence in volunteerism certi?cates that was presented to members.For Inspiration and fun Youth Centre Coordinator, Ethan Ball presented each SADD member with a personalized prize recognizing individual characteristics of each youth: the always tardy award, the newbie award, the super model award and so on.It is impossible not to implement some fun in an activity when youth gather and therefore, a pizza dinner and a variety of Covid safe games were organized with a variety of prizes to win.The games included \u201cfear pong,\u201d \u201ccostume department improve\u201d and an impromptu auction of farm animals.The fun continued with spontaneous karaoke and outdoor antics when the downpour of rain permitted.Animator, Eleanor Cote was presented with an award of a set of baking dishes in recognition of all of her baking throughout the year that was delivered to SADD and MAYO/ JAM youth in some of their weekly at home delivery packages made by the duo of Cote and Ball throughout the pandemic.\u201cIn a year like no other,\u201d stated Ball, \u201cI truly feel that we have had the participation of youth like no others.Going forward I am con?dent that this group will continue to grow and inspire others in the community.\u201d Visit the Youth Centre Facebook page at: Mansonville Maison des Jeunes / Youth Centre-Missisquoi North For more information about the

Canada warned of a hot and humid air mass affecting Southern Quebec until Tuesday resulting in hot days and warm nights.Record Staff Deputy Premier, Minister of Public Security and Minister responsible for the Capitale- Nationale region, Geneviève Guilbault, granted $1,375,000 to municipalities across Quebec this week.The ?nancial support will go toward sponsoring 37 projects aimed at improving and strengthening security in the province.The grant comes from the Programme de soutien aux municipalités en prévention de la criminalité (PSM).Municipal organizations and Indigenous communities can use this ?nancial assistance to establish safer living environments for their citizens.According to a press release, it will hopefully improve the planning process behind crime prevention.\u201cYour government is committed to ensuring that our municipalities have the resources to improve their crime prevention services and programs.The safety of our citizens is non-negotiable,\u201d said Guilbault.Quebec invests over $1 million in security and crime prevention projects to be the area with the greatest number of active cases, at 53, followed by 41 in Sherbrooke, 22 in the Haute Yamaska, 20 in Memphrémagog, 10 in Coaticook, nine in Des Sources, six in the Haut-Saint-François, four in the Val Saint-François, three in the Pommeraie area, and one not associated with a particular area.There were no new deaths, and only one of the 25 people hospitalized in the region due to the virus was in intensive care on Sunday.Monday marks the day that those 80 years of age and older can start to reschedule their second vaccine dose after the time limit between doses was reduced to eight weeks last week.New appointment dates will open up for a new age group each weekday, with those 75 and up able to reschedule as of Tuesday, those 70 and up as of Wednesday, and so on.The process will continue in ?ve- year intervals up to June 23, at which point everyone 18 years of age and older will be able to reschedule their second dose, if desired.To date 6,085,750 doses of vaccine have been administered across the province, accounting for ?rst-dose coverage in 65.3 per cent of the total population.Of that total, 351,667 doses have been given out in the Eastern Townships.Reopening CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 developed all the coping mechanisms in such situations,\u201d the notice points out.To help control the effects of the heat, Public Health recommends that the population take steps like spending a few hours a day in a cool or air-conditioned environment, as possible; drinking plenty of water and not waiting to feel thirsty to do so; limiting physical activity; checking in with friends and loved ones; and taking a cold bath or shower as often as needed, or using a wet towel to stay cool.The health authority also recommends people be on the lookout for symptoms such as general discomfort, intense fatigue, dizziness, confusion, loss of balance or behavioural challenges, nausea, vomiting, unusual headaches, dif?culty breathing, swelling or ?uid retention in the lower limbs, chest pain, and sudden chills or fever.In children and babies, people are encouraged to be on the lookout for reduced or dark urination, dry skin lips or mouth, unusual irritability or confusion, rings around eyes, intense drowsiness, dif?culty breathing, abnormal skin colour, elevated body temperature, headache, vomiting, or diarrhea.The notice also takes into account the fact that many of those symptoms are also on the watch list for COVID-19, but encourages the use of judgment and observation to consider whether they may be a result of the heat.Shopping malls, movie theatres, museums and public libraries are offered as examples of public places where people may be able to cool down, although many have reduced capacity limits and require the wearing of masks at the moment due to control measures for COVID-19.Despite the discomfort associated with the wearing of a mask or face covering in the heat, the healthcare authority says that to date there has been no indication from health research that doing so signi?cantly impacts internal temperature, which is at the heart of the more serious medical concerns previously mentioned.In a special weather statement issued Sunday morning for most of the Eastern Townships, Environment Canada warned of a hot and humid air mass affecting Southern Quebec until Tuesday resulting in hot days and warm nights.The Environment Canada notice adds the note that children and babies should not be left alone in vehicles or poorly ventilated rooms, even for a few minutes.Anyone experiencing health concerns is encouraged to call 811, or 911 in the case of an emergency.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Heatwave Health and social services professionals on strike Record Staff The members of the Alliance du personnel professionnel et technique de la santé et des services sociaux (APTS) announced on Friday that they are planning four days of strike action on Monday and Tuesday, June 7 and 8, as well as on June 21 and 22.The pressure tactics are part of the negotiation process currently underway between the APTS and the Quebec government.Essential services will be maintained in the CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie - CHUS facilities as provided for by law.However, the population should expect slowdowns or postponements of certain services.Sectors will experience reductions or postponements of non-emergency services and activities such as rehabilitation, medical imaging and operating rooms for certain surgeries.Services related to the pandemic, such as screening and vaccination, as well as intensive care will not be affected by the strike.Unless previously noti?ed of a postponement, people should present for their appointments as scheduled.Emergency services, as always, will remain available to the population.The APTS includes psychosocial staff, nutritionists, special education technicians, medical laboratory technicians, medical imaging technologists, etc., some 4,500 staff members of the CIUSSS de l\u2019Estrie- CHUS.Happy birthday, Ferne Murray!

racetrack once in my life - Montreal\u2019s Blue Bonnets - and, to borrow from Carly Simon\u2019s You\u2019re So Vain, my horses naturally lost.It was a lot of fun, nevertheless, but gazing at the sparse crowd in the sweeping stands, there was the sense of the end of an era, of decline and doom.Doom did come for the \u201csport of kings\u201d in Quebec in 2009, with the bankruptcy and closure of the four major harness racing tracks in the province, in Quebec City, Gatineau, Trois-Rivières and the aforementioned Blue Bonnets, which a government agency bought and renamed the Hippodrome de Montréal.It hosted a U2 concert in 2011 before being demolished in 2018.It is now a huge shopping mall.Despite the death declarations a decade ago, horse racing did not actually expire.It rose from the ashes, so to speak, and now the last and only track in Quebec is the Hippodrome 3R in Trois Rivières.With the relaxed pandemic restrictions, racing resumed at the track on June 6.As a point of trivia, Jessica Turenne, 25, was to make her debut as a professional sulky driver on the same track where her father Serge died in a horrendous racing accident 20 years ago.In 2019, the last full season of harness racing at Hippodrome 3R before the pandemic struck, some 100,000 folks showed up for the races, with a total $3 million in purses.Plans were in place to double the number of cards from 40 to 80 for the coming season, to capitalize on what industry watchers say is a promising increase in both betting fans and horse owners, breeders and trainers.Off-track betting parlours around the province, and internet wagering around the world have been game-changers for Hippodrome 3R.This modest renaissance of horse racing in Quebec is in stark contrast to the full-blown crisis in the business south of the border, at the centre of which is a notable Canadian.A recent in-depth story in The New Yorker titled \u201cBlood on the Tracks\u201d delves into the horrors of the racing industry in the United States, with the appalling toll of dead horses.Belinda Stronach - you may remember her as a former Conservative MP and then briely a Liberal minister - owns, through the family conglomerate, most of the major thoroughbred horse racing tracks in the United States.One of them is Santa Anita, in California, where two years ago some 40 horses died in the space of 13 months, sparking calls for reform of the industry or an outright ban on the sport.The use of drugs and the quality of tracks are blamed.Stronach, in an Associated Press interview last year, noted the expired steeds represented 0.009 percent of the 420,00 horses who raced during the period of the noted fatalities.That said, Stronach says she is determined to spearhead a reform of an industry under assault, with race-day drug bans and better track maintenance.\u201cThere is an opportunity to evolve the sport and I think others are waking up as well and recognize that we have to evolve,\u201d Stronach said.Still, in the wake of the Santa Anita outrage, a Washington Post editorial called for the abolition of horse racing.\u201cNo other accepted sport tolerates the cruelties that routinely result in the injury and death of these magniicent animals.The rot in horse racing goes deep.It is a sport that\u2019s outlived its time.\u201d Harness racing does not face the same animal rights issues as thoroughbred racing.As much as a horse pulling a sulky is working hard it does not compare to the heart-bursting stress a ine-boned horse endures galloping at terrifying speed with a jockey on its back.The Quebec Jockey Club, which oversees harness racing in the province, introduced in 2019 strict new rules on the use of the crop on horses, in response to animal welfare concerns.The impact, club oficials say, was positive for bettors, spectators and race times.And, we imagine, the horses also approve.Quebec horses still racing despite track woes elsewhere Peter Black The Record welcomes

newspaper.I refer to the front page article of Thursday, June 3, 2021 by Michael Boriero.Under the banner headline \u201cWe need to know these stories\u201d, it reads \u201cCree Bishop\u2019s student speaks out on Kamloops mass grave discovery\u201d.I looked up the deinition of mass grave in several reference sources and the consensus seems to be that a mass grave is where multiple human bodies are interred together in one grave.My understanding is that the discovery of the unmarked graves are not in that category at all.I read somewhere that the Spanish Flue was hitting the residential schools particularly hard.Possibly this contributed to the interment of bodies without proper records being kept.Who knows how many other factors contributed to the existence of unmarked graves.It is not fair to casually throw the term \u201c\u2018Mass Graves\u201d around.Maybe Michael Boriero is too young to even remember the mass graves in the Balkans or even later in the Middle East.Those are easy to Google, as are the horrendous mass graves from the Nazi regime in World War Two.I am not defending the people who ran the Residential Schools.But the term \u201cMass Graves\u201d suggests open pits where numerous bodies of students were unceremoniously dumped with malicious intent.Until it is shown that such was the case I would appreciate the somewhat kinder term of \u201cunmarked graves\u201d.SIMON LANGEVELD, MELBOURNE, QC.Letters PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY

Michael Boriero Vincent Churchill \u201cManny\u201d McIntyre was the ?rst Black Canadian to sign a professional contract in baseball\u2019s modern era, when he inked a deal with the Sherbrooke Canadians, a farm team of the St.Louis Cardinals, in 1946 \u2014 75 years ago.McIntyre, who passed away in 2011 at the age of 92, grew up playing baseball and ice hockey near Fredericton, New Brunswick, but although he excelled in both sports, the hulking athlete failed to gain much recognition due to the colour of his skin.He was inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame in 1997, and posthumously inducted into Canada\u2019s Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.McIntyre also famously played hockey on the all Black line, or the Black Aces, alongside Herb and Ossie Carnegie.Before he connected with the Carnegie\u2019s to form the historic hockey trio, McIntyre featured in baseball and hockey seniors leagues across the Maritimes, Quebec, and Ontario.He was an inspiration to many people, including an 11-year-old John Lutz.\u201cWhen I saw him playing hockey, it was like in modern days they would say that was a \u2018wow\u2019 moment.It was a moment where he became a hero to me,\u201d said Lutz in a phone interview.Lutz used to watch McIntyre when he played for the Moncton Hawks, an ice hockey team in New Brunswick.He was enamoured by the athlete and his ability to play through adversity with a smile.McIntyre became Lutz\u2019s idol.The 82-year-old dealt with hearing loss at a young age.He always felt different from his peers.When he saw McIntyre play for the ?rst time, in a league dominated by White men, Lutz was struck by his resiliency and positivity.While Lutz closely followed McIntyre\u2019s career, it wasn\u2019t until decades later that he had a chance to meet his hero.Lutz\u2019s wife worked for the New Brunswick Multicultural Association.The president of the association helped him connect with McIntyre.Lutz told The Record that he was in his late 40s or early 50s when he was ?rst introduced to the aging baseball and hockey player.Although he was a grown man, Lutz said he reverted to his 11-year-old self the minute he was face-to-face with McIntyre.\u201cHe was a hero, right up there with Babe Ruth and Willie Mays and so on,\u201d said Lutz.\u201cAnd so once I got over that we related to one another as adults and then I got to know him.\u201d Lutz was awestruck.However, after shaking off the mental block, he began to dive into McIntyre\u2019s life.He wanted to know all about his playing days, what it was like teaming up with the Black Aces, and dealing with racism and discrimination.\u201cI went to his place and we talked about his career \u2014 his baseball career, his hockey career.He was not well recognized, it was not a time where Black athletes were so publicly recognized, as is the case now,\u201d Lutz said.The pair instantly hit it off.They were close friends up until McIntyre\u2019s last breath.Lutz even received the honour of delivering the eulogy at the athlete\u2019s funeral.He said that while Canada needs to remember McIntyre\u2019s athletic prowess, he was also a great person.\u201cHe had character, he had a sense of con?dence in himself, and he knew he was good, but he was also very friendly, and outgoing,\u201d said Lutz, adding that he could not imagine the amount of courage it took to play in a time where Black athletes rarely received a second glance.McIntyre\u2019s time in Sherbrooke was short-lived.He played 30 games and put up decent numbers, despite dealing with a hockey injury to his throwing arm.But he stepped away due to discrimination from his white teammates and racism when he crossed into America.He wanted to play in Canada, where he believed people were more respectful, Lutz explained.And he has heard from important National Hockey League (NHL) ?gures, like former Montreal Canadiens head coach Scotty Bowman, that the Black Aces should have played in the NHL.\u201cHe was passed over, the line passed over, for many opportunities to get into the NHL, it was pure, absolute pure, racism that prevented it,\u201d said Lutz, sharing that while McIntyre wasn\u2019t the most skilled player on the line, he was their protector, and often took care of their contracts.McIntyre was always loved wherever he played hockey or baseball, he continued.He was named the most popular player in the Halifax District Baseball League in 1944, which is voted by journalists and fans.And Halifax was notoriously racist at the time, Lutz said.He ?nds it dif?cult to imagine how McIntyre managed not only to survive in those days, but to thrive and be one of the most popular athletes.Lutz remembers his close personal friend as a caring, passionate and con?dent person.He was a good and decent man.He was also a superb athlete,\u201d said Lutz.\u201cHe had great communication skills, great human relationships skills; and he took time for people.\u201d Manny McIntyre wearing the

It brings to mind the early days of the gluten- free trend.Manufacturers of products that never contained gluten in the ?rst place - such as almond butter, popcorn and even water - suddenly began carrying gluten-free labels.The result is a lot of noise that can obscure an important topic.Let\u2019s start with a review of the basics.A microbiome is a unique community of microbes that are living together in a particular habitat.Microbiomes are found not only in and on the human body, but also in the world around us.This includes animals, plants, plant communities, the soil and bodies of water.Our homes, our workplaces and even our cars can each have their own unique microbiomes.When it comes to humans, we have distinct microbiomes in locations all over our bodies.Areas such as armpits, the scalp, our skin, feet, mouth and our navels all play host to unique collections of microbes.These days, though, the word microbiome has become a sort of shorthand that refers to the trillions of bene?cial bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses living in our gut.And that\u2019s where the terms that you\u2019re asking about come in.As we\u2019ve discussed here before, the word probiotics refers to the bene?cial microbes found in certain fermented foods and beverages, as well in specially formulated nutritional supplements.Prebiotics are the indigestible carbohydrates, typically soluble ?bers and resistant starches, that serve as a food source for the tiny inhabitants of your gut microbiome.And now, as you point out, we\u2019ve begun to hear about something called postbiotics.The term refers to the compounds that are created as microbes dine on those indigestible carbohydrates we just mentioned.Basically, postbiotics are the waste products of your gut microbiome\u2019s metabolic activity.That means that any fermented food that contains or was made by live bacteria contains postbiotics.That includes yogurt, ke?r, sauerkraut, certain pickled vegetables, tempeh, miso, kimchi and kombucha.As researchers began looking more closely at postbiotics, they came to suspect that these compounds have bene?cial properties.Initial ?ndings suggest that postbiotics may play a role in maintaining a balanced and robust immune system, support digestive health and help to manage the health of the gut microbiome.There is also evidence that postbiotics may help to lower in?ammation, and may have a role in improving the regulation of blood sugar levels.Rather than thinking in terms of supplements, add some fermented foods to your diet.And don\u2019t forget the fresh fruits, vegetables and leafy greens that are keeping the trillions of microbes in your gut healthy and happy.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.(Send your questions to askthedoctors@ mednet.ucla.edu, or write: Ask the Doctors, c/o UCLA Health Sciences Media Relations, 10880 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1450, Los Angeles, CA, 90024.Owing to the volume of mail, personal replies cannot be provided.)

When East plays low, declarer puts in his queen.After it wins, South crosses to dummy with a club.Now is the time for the heart 10, which here East will presumably cover.Declarer wins with his ace, noting West\u2019s discard.Back to dummy with another club, South plays a heart to his eight, draws the last trump and claims.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, June 7, 2021 Page 9 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 10 Monday, June 7, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Go grocery sho pping with diet itians.When you choo se products with the Health Chec k symbol, it's like shopping with t he Heart and Str oke Foundation\u2019s die titians, who eval uate every partic ipating product b ased on Canada 's Food Guide.www.healthche ck.org REALITY CHECK HERMAN ALLEY OOP ARLO & JANIS THE BORN LOSER FRANK AND ERNEST GRIZZWELLS THATABABY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, June 7, 2021 Page 11 Call Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: classad@sherbrookerecord.com or Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 a.m.and noon CLASSIFIED Deadline: 12:30 p.m.one day prior to publication Or mail your prepaid classi?ed ads to The Record, 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 275 Antiques WE BUY from the past for the future, one item or a household, attic or basement, shed or garage.We like it all, give us a call.819-837-2680.290 Articles for Sale 145 Miscellaneous Services Support the local businesses, services & professionals who serve our area where you live, work and play!
