GORDON LAMBIE Record Staff According to Tourism Eastern Townships, much of the region is in the prime time for the fall colours right now.At Mont Orford provicial park, red, orange and golden leaves were on full display this weekend, much to the delight of the large crowds of people who made the trip out to see them.Although the annual lea?ng activities that take place on Mountains and at ski centers across the Townships still have a few weeks left, the current burst of colour suggests that it might be best to get out sooner than later if an autumn stroll through falling leaves is in your plans.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

blood Twenty-four-year-old Mansonville native David Mierzwinski has been participating in motocross racing for many years and recently celebrated some amazing achievements in the sport.While he enjoys his \u201cday job,\u201d the wild side of extreme endure racing ?ows through Mier- zwinski\u2019s blood and the excitement is palpitating.Motocross enthusiasts will understand this while the rest of us may view the sport and ?nd ourselves burying our heads in fear as the roar of dirt bikes signal the start to an unpredictable adrenalin rush as a race commences.On Sept.4-5 Mierzwinski participated in the \u201cBattle of the Prospector\u201d event which is an extremely hard enduro race that took place in Murdochville, Quebec.A two- day event found the conditions on the ?rst day held in the mountains to be rainy with a total race time of 2.5 hours.Mierzwinski managed to pull out of the ?rst day with a ?rst-place ?nish in the intermediate class.The second day was a bit warmer taking place on an entirely new track on a different mountain with a 3-hour race time.\u201cI ?nished the second day with a ?rst-place ?nish,\u201d shared Mierzwinski.\u201cFinishing 1st overall in intermediate class for the two-day competition felt great,\u201d he added.On Sept.25-26 Mierzwinski was at yet another race held this time in Gooderham, Ontario called, \u201cThe Corduroy Enduro,\u201d also known as \u201cCanada\u2019s toughest race\u201d.Another two-day event totalling 264km of racing in about thirteen hours.Mierzwinski excelled yet again taking 1st place in the expert class on the Saturday and 1st place in the expert class on the Sunday; ?nishing 1st overall in the expert class over the two days! \u201cThis was an extremely gratifying result,\u201d shared Mierzwinski.\u201cI give credit to my amazing girlfriend, Megan Stone who not only puts up with this craziness but has also been a Star pit crew member.\u201d After doing a total of twelve races this season all across Quebec and Ontario Mierzwinski extends his gratitude to his sponsors that include: Duroy Motosports, Beta Canada, Bell Helmets, DP Brakes and Evo Suspension.\u201cI would never have been able to pursue my passion was it not for the support of my parents, Eddy Mierzwinski and Renata Frankiewicz,\u201d he said.Mierzwinski also races in the FMSQ Cross-Country circuit where he is ranked 6th place in the intermediate class for the 2021 championship.He has remained in the top 10 in every race.When looking to the future Mierzwinski is hopeful.\u201cI really hope my future in racing will bring me many podiums and maybe a championship also,\u201d he said while smiling.We may not understand it but I know few who do not witness a motocross race and walk away shaking their heads in awe.Athletes like David Mierzwinski ride these bikes like a rodeo rider might a steer.One need not question the passion but merely marvel at the ability.Mable Hastings The Scoop COURTESY COURTESY PRINTED AND

interest, especially during a pandemic, as one of the primary problems.Victims of the Lac-Mégantic tragedy set to receive $39 million Record Staff Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette has announced that the Quebec government is in the process of ful?lling its intention to redistribute nearly $39 million to those impacted by the Lac-Mégantic tragedy.According to a press release, roughly $20 million will given directly to victims identi?ed in the legal proceedings involving the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic (MMA) company.The funds will be added to the amount already received by individuals, and will be paid by the end of the year.\u201cThe redistribution of these sums aims ?rst of all to give them justice, but also to allow this hard-hit community to continue its reconstruction.We are very pleased with the outcome of this case,\u201d said Jolin-Barrette.The government will also invest approximately $19 million into the Lac- Mégantic community, funding projects that will bene?t residents living in the area.However, those details will be announced in the future.The Superior Court recognized the amounts to be redistributed last June, under the Loi sur les arrangements avec les créanciers des compagnies.The Court of Appeal has refused to appeal this judgment, and the time limit to apply to the Supreme Court of Canada has expired.Those who have changed their address since the original distribution in 2016, and who have not already updated their ?les, must contact Richter Groupe Conseil by email (mmaclaims@richter.ca) or by telephone (1-866-845-8958).Mégantic MNA François Jacques said he is relieved to see the funds will ?nally be redistributed to the victims and the community in the coming weeks, adding that the government\u2019s actions have always been to address the redistribution situation.\u201cThis ?le can therefore be closed in a fair and equitable manner for all those who have suffered the impacts of the Lac-Mégantic tragedy,\u201d Jacques said.Bishop\u2019s assistant professor not discouraged by low voter turnout By Michael Boriero After the recent federal elections produced nearly identical results as in 2019 \u2014 a Liberal minority government \u2014 Fair Vote Canada has once again asked the Canadian government to consider moving forward with electoral reform.Fair Vote Canada is an electoral reform advocacy organization.It has been preaching change for nearly two decades, demanding the government to ditch the ?rst-past-the- post system, and adopt proportional representation.They also want to increase voter turnout.\u201cOne of the reasons is they think that our current system encourages strategic voting and discourages people from voting if they think they\u2019re in a riding that is sort of a lost cause for their preferred candidate; the outcome is already known,\u201d said Dr.Jacob Robbins-Kanter.A newly minted assistant professor in Canadian politics at Bishop\u2019s University, Robbins-Kanter sits on the fence when it comes to altering the country\u2019s current electoral model.He told The Record that there are positives and negatives to any democratic system.\u201cI mean there are trade-offs with any electoral system, so our system de?nitely has drawbacks.You can point to the fact that you can have a majority government with 39 per cent of the vote and have all of the power that comes with a majority government,\u201d he said.The Liberals, for example, failed to achieve their goal of obtaining a majority government, however they managed to slide back into a minority with just 32.6 per cent of the vote share in Canada, compared to the Conservatives, who ?nished with 33.7 per cent.According to Fair Vote Canada, this a historic low for the Liberal Party, and the organization points to a lack of voter interest, especially during a pandemic, as one of the primary problems.The organization also noted that in Quebec, 38 per cent of the population did not vote.However, Robbins-Kanter believes the voter turnout had a lot to do with COVID-19.The number of voters in the country went up in 2019, he explained, but this year was a logistical nightmare for Elections Canada, as they needed to juggle polling stations.\u201cThey had to close some and sort of combine multiple polling stations into one in some cases, especially in large cities, so I think that did probably discourage some people from voting.There were reports of lineups in Toronto and Kingston that were three hours to vote,\u201d he said.While he is concerned with the decrease in voters in 2021, Robbins- Kanter said it isn\u2019t as dire as it seems, especially when taking mail-in ballots into consideration.And while Fair Vote Canada pushes for proportional representation, he is skeptical it will work.\u201cBigger parties would rely on smaller parties\u2019 support in order to govern and those smaller parties then would conceivably be able to ask for concessions from the larger parties [\u2026] and then again you\u2019re back in the situation where that\u2019s not quite democratic,\u201d he said.Fair Vote Canada argues that ?rst- past-the-post favours the country\u2019s two big parties \u2014 Liberals and Conservatives \u2014 but Robbins-Kanter contends that, given the number of political parties, there will need to be a coalition, if Canada switches to a proportional model.Robbins-Kanter reiterated that he doesn\u2019t fall on either side of the debate.He also noted that every party has a reason to be disappointed in this year\u2019s election.The Liberals failed to achieve a majority, and the Conservatives made no headway in gaining seats.He was surprised to see the PPC crumble the way it did, as the party remained without a seat in the House of Commons, considering the number of Canadians who opposed public health and safety measures.Meanwhile, the NDP stumbled down the stretch, after gaining momentum early on.\u201cThe NDP spent more money than they have ever spent on a campaign and their leader was really popular, but the NDP couldn\u2019t really make any gains at all, so I think they should be the most disappointed,\u201d said Robbins- Kanter.He also commented on the regional ridings, which in his opinion were far closer than he anticipated heading into the elections.The Bloc gained ground in Compton-Stanstead, while the Liberals faired well in Sherbrooke, and Brome-Missisquoi went down to the wire.\u201cThere were some interesting races in the region, but it\u2019s not super surprising I guess to see that the three Eastern Townships ridings with the largest Anglophone populations outside of Montreal ?nally ended up going Liberal at the end of the day,\u201d said Robbins-Kanter.Trudeau apologized to chief of Tk\u2019emlups te Secwepemc after Toino trip: PMO The Canadian Press Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\u2019s of?ce says he has apologized to the chief of a British Columbia First Nation which invited him to visit on Canada\u2019s ?rst National Truth and Reconciliation Day.Trudeau ?ew to To?no, B.C., last Thursday to spend time with his family on a day meant to mark the painful legacy of Canada\u2019s residential school system.Global News ?lmed the prime minister walking along a beach, and reports of his trip sparked criticism from Indigenous leaders who say it was disrespectful of him not to attend events honouring survivors.The Tk\u2019emlups te Secwepemc Nation, which earlier this year announced the ?ndings of more than 200 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school, shared on social media that it sent ``two heartfelt invitations\u2019\u2019 for Trudeau to join them on Sept.30.His of?ce says Trudeau reached out to Chief Rosanne Casimir on Saturday and offered his apology.A spokesperson for the First Nation con?rmed today that a conversation and apology took place, but offered no other details.Trudeau\u2019s of?ce says the prime minister looks forward to visiting soon.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

819-569-5666 \u201cLocals serving locals for more than 25 years.\u201d INVESTMENTS Wales Home expansion moving ahead on schedule By Gordon Lambie The Wales Home welcomed 70 people both in-person and online to an information session on Saturday for its newest expansion project, The Ross.Named in honour of former Wales Home Foundation President Charles Ross, the new building will feature 42 independent living apartments for people aged 55 and up, and is expected to be complete by the end of 2022.\u201cWe\u2019re very proud of the project that we\u2019re building,\u201d said Brendalee Piironen, the home\u2019s Executive Director.\u201cIt is something that is going to be very unique.\u201d The project, ?rst presented in public a few years ago, now has its ?rst of two planned phases underway.By the end of phase two, the goal is for the facility to have a net-zero carbon footprint by making use of rooftop solar panels, environmentally friendly engineering and design, and geothermal heating.For Piironen, though, the pride is rooted in what is being offered to the people who will live in the building.\u201cWhat we\u2019ve designed is really within the mission of the Wales Home,\u201d she said.\u201cWe\u2019re maintaining a really home-like, friendly environment which supports people\u2019s autonomy.\u201d The focus of this new living space is to offer a transitional space for people who are not yet in need of the care offered by the home, but who may be ready to move out of their own homes and into an environment with less personal responsibility.According to the Executive Director, the new apartments have been designed with long-term living and comfort in mind by providing a space that is open and adaptable to people\u2019s personal interests, but also has accessibility features that might become important as they get older \u201cIt\u2019s been designed for safety,\u201d Piironen said, while also underlining that the new building will not feature any of the additional care that people associate with seniors\u2019 homes.\u201cIf somebody wants to come for meals, they can purchase that, but there\u2019s no services.\u201d The new apartments will be available through two different models, a traditional rental system or what Piironen referred to as a \u201clife lease.\u201d This latter option involves the resident lending a large sum of money to the home on moving in, then paying a smaller monthly fee for services like electricity and internet while they occupy the space.When the person living in the apartment moves out or dies, that initial down payment is refunded.\u201cThe home continues to own the apartment,\u201d the executive director said, clarifying that the system is different from a condo development.On the rental side, the cost of the units will range from $1,575 a month to $2,200.In sharing that, though, Piironen pointed out that the payment is meant to be all inclusive, and also gives the residents access to amenities like the gym, sauna, pool, hot tub, bowling alley, and 22-seat cinema.At this point none of the apartments has been of?cially claimed, but Piironen explained that part of the point of the weekend information session was to share updates and detailed information about the project with those people who have already put their name on the waiting list.\u201cWe believe that all the 42 units will be occupied,\u201d she said, adding that, \u201cWe\u2019re on schedule and everything is going really well.\u201d Covid update Asked how the entire facility is riding out the pandemic, Piironen said that although the government measures change frequently, the staff are keeping their heads above water.\u201cIt\u2019s still a challenge to keep up with that, but we\u2019re managing,\u201d she said.Although the Wales Home is facing the same staf?ng challenges everyone else is right now, Piironen shared that the entire staff will be doubly vaccinated by the October 15 deadline.\u201cWe\u2019re very proud about that,\u201d she said.The executive director also said that she thinks the home is well set up for handling the need to check vaccine passports for visitors.\u201cI don\u2019t foresee any issues with it,\u201d she said.\u201cI think that most people are (vaccinated) and if they are not, well, they won\u2019t be allowed to enter the building.\u201d COURTESY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY

Week (MIAW): a national public education campaign to inform the general population of the reality of mental illness, to foster understanding and to reduce stigma.Established in 1992 by the Canadian Psychiatric Association, this annual event is now coordinated by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH) in cooperation with all its member organisations and other supporters across Canada.In recognition of MIAW 2021, throughout the week The Record will feature articles submitted by community members who have a lived experience of mental illness or who have accompanied their loved ones on their journey.It is our hope that these articles will shed some light not only on the reality of mental illness, but on the recovery of hope, and the hope of recovery.Millions of Canadians live with mental illnesses every day and when we include the impact on family and friends, the numbers continue to grow.The past 18 months have been particularly challenging for individuals, communities, institutions and organizations.For some the pandemic has exacerbated existing symptoms and for others it has led to new mental health challenges.The study conducted by the University of Sherbrooke in 2020 found that: \u2022 Quebec levels of depression and anxiety are considerably higher than what was observed pre-pandemic; \u2022 Young adults, Anglophones, and health care workers are the most heavily affected groups in the seven regions studied; \u2022 37 per cent of adults aged 18- 24 reported symptoms of anxiety and depression; \u2022 Anglophones are twice as likely as Francophones to experience anxiety and depressive symptoms.When it comes to mental health many suffer alone and in silence, until the situation has escalated to a point of desperation or crisis.Research indicates that early intervention leads to better long-term outcomes.The sooner one seeks help, the more likely one is to go on and lead a satisfying life.Most people who seek professional help recover.It takes courage but asking for help is a sign of strength! So where can we turn for help?Mental Health Estrie (MHE) MHE is a non-pro?t community organization committed to providing information, support, education and advocacy to English-speaking families and individuals in Estrie impacted by mental illness.Services are currently available by phone (819-565-3777) and email (mhe.info@bellnet.ca).We invite you to follow our Facebook and Instagram pages and visit our website at www.mentalhealthestrie.com.Finding a psychiatrist A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in the functions of the brain and can prescribe medications when necessary.Medication is often extremely helpful and can be an important part of the recovery process.A referral from a general practitioner is generally required to see a psychiatrist.If you have no family doctor, visit any walk-in-clinic to receive a referral.Finding a psychologist Psychologists provide talk therapy (psychotherapy) or counselling;

and Hillary.After his wife died in 1997, Cecil married Sylvia Louise Coates (1945-2009) in Cookshire.While acting as the exclusive Delco Auto Parts dealer in the area, Cecil Dougherty acquired the Auto Electric Associates Inc.store on King Ouest Street in Sherbrooke, in partnership with Aurèle Bélanger, Frank Edward, Newman Hunter and Edgar Martin.He was a member of the Lennoxville Optimists, of the Army, Navy and Air Force association and of the local Masonic Lodge.In 1955, he rallied 23 citizens to establish the Atto-Beaver Club and to open Atto-Beaver Park on St.Francis Street.Following this, he was elected, by acclamation, Mayor of Lennoxville, January 25, 1967, succeeding Archie Mitchell.He held the position until 1985, the longest serving mayor.Cecil died March 30, 2002 and was buried beside his ?rst wife in Malvern Cemetery; his second wife is resting in Riverview Cemetery in Scotstown.COURTESY OF SYLVIA COATES 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 6 Monday, October 4, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record EDITORIAL Though there are still plenty of hunters who bag game to supplement the family food supply, the vast majority of the Elmer Fudd crowd kill animals for sport, for the thrill of the chase.6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 FAX: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON MCCULLY PUBLISHER (819) 569-9511 MATTHEW MCCULLY MANAGING EDITOR (819) 569-6345 GORDON LAMBIE ASSOCIATE EDITOR (819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN (819) 569-4856 JESSE BRYANT ADVERTISING MANAGER (450) 242-1188 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING (819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING (819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION (819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM (819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, J0E 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 FAX: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS For print subscription rates, please call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 108.72 5.44 10.85 $ 1 2 5 .0 0 1 MONTH 9.78 0.49 0.98 $ 1 1 .2 5 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA RECORD THE The Record welcomes your letters to the editor.Please limit your letters to 300 words.We reserve the right to edit for length, clarity, legality and taste.Please ensure there is a phone number or email where you can be reached, to con?rm authorship and current town/city of residence.Names will not be withheld but the address and phone number of the writer are not published, except by request.Please email your letters to newsroom@ sherbrookerecord.com.Preference is given to writers from the Eastern Townships.Letters Pandemic may have produced bump in numbers of Quebec hunters I will never forget the one and only time I went hunting with my grandad, before he retired his trusty .22.No shotgun for him.They messed up the meat and you had to pick out the shot.He brought down a rabbit on a gravel bush road, and while it was practically still kicking, slit its belly open, clawed out the warm guts and peeled off the fur with his bare hands.It took about two minutes.He gave me a look.This is what killing a living thing means.I can\u2019t recall later partaking of any stew made with bunny meat, but I did realize gramps was so adept at killing rabbits, partridge, deer and moose because he had had to feed a family of three girls.He might these days be called a \u201csportsman,\u201d but he was a provider, as most of our ancestors had to be before the arrival of supermarkets and Skip The Dishes etc.Though there are still plenty of hunters who bag game to supplement the family food supply, the vast majority of the Elmer Fudd crowd kill animals for sport, for the thrill of the chase.One hopes and trusts that all that slaughtered wild meat ends up in the freezer and eventually eaten.Hunting is surely one of the most incongruous vestiges of our pioneering past; nowadays very few of us build our homes with our own hands, or feed our families from the vegetable garden, or churn butter, weave yarn or hue wood or haul water.Despite our obsession with digital devices, a steady number of people are still eager to get their digits on a ?rearm and stalk birds or beasts.Quebec, a veritable paradise for hunters with vast tracts of forest accessible by road, is home to an astonishing number of big game hunters - by big we mean deer, moose and bear.According to ?gures from the ministry of forests, wildlife and parks, last year there was an actual seven per cent increase in the number of deer hunting licenses issued.Maybe folks just wanted to head to the woods and blast something as a release from pandemic con?nement.Not a spontaneous thing to do given the highly controlled process to buy a gun, get a hunting licence and then a hunting permit.In 2020, the ministry issued a total of 136,000 deer hunting licences - imagine the entire population of Sherbrooke toting guns and skulking through the woods.Alas for many hunters, but mercifully for the deer, not everyone bagged their Bambi, with the total kill pegged at 43,500 white- tailed deer, an increase of six per cent over the previous year.Last year was the ?rst time hunters could apply for a second deer permit in the same season, the result being 21,000 hunters managed to bag themselves another 2,700 deer.The moose hunt was not affected noticeably by the absence of American hunters, of?cials say.Permits to hunt Bullwinkle that normally would have gone to non-residents were quickly snapped up by the locals.Consequently, about 170,000 hunters brought down about 20,000 moose last year, numbers comparable to recent years.The bear hunt is less of a mass slaughter than that of our cloven- hoofed friends.This fact is perhaps explained by the relative unpalatability of bear meat, given that bears, being omnivores, have a tendency to taste much the same as the last meal they ate, be it from a dumpster or berry patch.Still, there are some 5,700 fewer bears roaming the woods of Quebec after last year\u2019s hunt, the work of a small army of 17,700 licenced bear hunters and trappers.What about wild turkeys, which, since an introduction program about 20 years ago, have become somewhat of a plague in forests and farms?Hunters barely made a dent in the burgeoning population with 8,600 gobblers becoming Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.That harvest was a record since the hunt began in 2008.Alas, no ?gures are available for the bunny hunt, lumped together as hares are under the general small game hunting licence.Also on the extensive small game hit list are wolves, woodchucks and house sparrows?Really, house sparrows?That just doesn\u2019t seem sporting.Gramps would have disapproved.Peter Black Anglophone school board elections: a democratic de?cit After months of advertising for the three anglophone school board posts for elections held on September 26, voter turnout clearly demonstrates a democratic de?cit exists in the elected school board system.All other posts (about 95 percent) were acclaimed last year.Consider these numbers: Commissioner for English Montreal School Board - 9.8 percent; Commissioner for Lester B.Pearson School Board - 9.9 percent.Out of 43,131 eligible electors, only 3.27 percent bothered to vote for Chairperson of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board.It should also be noted this is the second back-to-back 7-year mandate for anglophone commissioners, which were designed by law to be 4-year mandates.No question, the numbers fall short of ful?lling the principles of democracy; they do very little for transparency and accountability in the system.CHRIS EUSTACE, RETIRED TEACHER MONTREAL, QC 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, October 4, 2021 Page 7 Nice land, indeed Like many outdoor enthusiasts, I\u2019ve been guilty of keeping \u2018secret\u2019 spots, albeit more selectively and less greedily than some of my peers.Few outdoor experiences are as rich and gainful as discovering your own paradisal ?shing, hunting, or camping spot, and it feels shameful to deprive any novice participant of this rite of passage.However, I\u2019m quite happy to point someone in the right direction.It\u2019s amazing how many Canadians\u2014certainly most urban Canadians\u2014don\u2019t know how much of our wilderness is available for public use.Sure, provinces like Québec and Ontario have densely-populated southern regions, but these areas are geographically dwarfed by the rural and wilderness regions to their north.In less than an afternoon of driving, many of us can access genuine wilderness\u2014a luxury that is not afforded to millions of urbanites elsewhere in the world.We are free to use these lands within a sophisticated yet reasonable legal framework, and I consider this a miracle of modern governance and natural resource management.Before embarking on a public land adventure, you need to verify that what you\u2019re planning/doing is legal.For beginners, this can be complicated, but it can be thought of more simply as avoiding a \u2018dishonest\u2019 mistake.If you know or suspect that what you\u2019re doing is illegal, you haven\u2019t done enough background work! In my experience, honest mistakes in public land recreation are forgiven, and dishonest mistakes sometimes aren\u2019t.Determining what is and isn\u2019t legal can be simpli?ed by working from general to speci?c: step one is about identifying public land, and step two is about determining what municipal and/or activity-speci?c restrictions, if any, may too affect your plans.Land use maps can be obtained from provincial governments, and are particularly accessible now via the internet.Using these maps to identify public land is a big subject, and one that I don\u2019t have time to describe in depth, but the key is to identify land that is both public, and accessible by a public route.It may be tempting to \u2018scurry\u2019 across a farmer\u2019s ?eld or cottager\u2019s back yard, but doing so is illegal and potentially dangerous.Public land can often be accessed by land, via forestry roads, and by water, via lakes and rivers that are navigable by boat.First-time public land recreationists can simplify their ?rst foray by identifying a forestry road, lake, or river that cuts across a large section of public land, and making this their starting point.Next, public land use information for the chosen area must be consulted\u2014often using the same map resource\u2014to verify that planned activities such as camping are permitted.Once you\u2019ve accomplished this, you\u2019ll have successfully completed step one.As mentioned previously, step two involves local and/or activity-speci?c restrictions.If your plans center on a municipality or \u2018special\u2019 land-use area, you\u2019ll want to verify that special rules don\u2019t prohibit or restrict your preferred activities.Overlooking something like an open ?re ban can have serious consequences.The internet is a useful resource at this stage too, but phone calls to a town of?ce or management agency may be necessary to verify your interpretation of the rules or answer tough questions.For more speci?c activities like hunting and ?shing, it\u2019s essential to check local regulations, and comply with all designated limits, seasons, sanctuaries, and gear restrictions.When you\u2019ve ?nally reached your destination, have a look around, and make sure that you haven\u2019t missed any relevant, partially hidden signage.To be continued\u2026 ANDREW HOWARTH The rewards for careful planning can be subtle: note the absence of other people and artiicial installations\u2014tents, boats, and cookware excluded\u2014at this typical public land campsite.The added silence and peacefulness are slightly harder to convey photographically.Part 1 of 2 Andrew Howarth On The Hook SPORTS 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 8 Monday, October 4, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Death BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 40¢ per word.Minimum charge $10.00 ($11.50 taxes included) Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off With photo: additional $18.50.DEADLINE: 11 a.m., day before publication.BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY & GET-WELL WISHES, ENGAGEMENT NOTICES: Text only: $16.00 (includes taxes) With photo: $26.00 ($29.90 taxes included) DEADLINE: 3 days before publication.WEDDING WRITE-UPS: $26.00 ($29.90 taxes included) WITH PHOTO: $36.00 ($41.40 taxes included) Please Note: All of the aforementioned (except death notices) must be submitted typewritten or neatly printed, and must include the signature and daytime telephone number of the contact person.Can be e-mailed to: classad@sherbrookerecord.com - They will not be taken by phone.DEADLINES FOR DEATH NOTICES: For Monday\u2019s paper, email production@sherbrookerecord.com or call 819-569-4856 between 1 p.m.and 5 p.m.Sunday.For Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday\u2019s edition, email production@sherbrookerecord.com, call 819-569-4856 or fax 819-569-1187 (please call to con?rm transmission) between 9 a.m.and 5 p.m.the day prior to the day of publication.The Record cannot guarantee publication if another Record number is called.Rates: Please call for costs.RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2021 Today is the 277th day of 2021 and the 13th day of autumn.TODAY\u2019S HISTORY: In 1535, the complete English translation of the Bible was printed for the ?rst time.In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the ?rst arti?cial satellite, into orbit.In 1958, trans-Atlantic passenger jet service began with commercial ?ights between New York and London.In 1965, Pope Paul VI became the ?rst reigning pontiff to visit the United States.TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS: Rutherford B.Hayes (1822-1893), 19th U.S.president;

We don\u2019t mind being the ones she calls for help and rides, but we do get angry that he won\u2019t take 20 minutes out of his week, or even his month, to see how she\u2019s doing.It would make her day to get a visit or a phone call, especially during the past 18 months.Our question is: Are we required to let him know when Mom really starts going downhill or if something serious happens to her before then?We\u2019re both feeling like he\u2019s lost that privilege, but it probably wouldn\u2019t matter to him anyway, considering his behavior up to this point.Also, there is no chance of a reconciliation.He and his wife are incredibly self- centered people who think they are saints.- Simmering Sisters Dear Simmering Sisters: I have no doubt that your brother and his wife are being sel?sh and think they are saints.But sometimes, when we point a ?nger at someone, there are three pointing back at us.See if you and your sister have exhausted all vehicles of open dialogue and forgiveness with your brother.Remember, you only have one brother, and he is your family.With that being said, no, you are not required to tell your brother if something goes wrong with your mom - but it is the right thing to do.She is still his mother, and if you have the heart and kindness to take care of her, then by all means, you should tell him.Dear Annie: A dear neighbor has just lost her husband.In addition to the shock and grief that she is experiencing, she has con?ded in me that she has no idea of how to manage the ?nancial aspect of her household.Her husband took care of all of that, and he is gone.Fortunately, she has children who I believe will be helpful to her, but can you please remind everyone that household ?nances, including mortgage payments and taxes, are the responsibility of both members of any partnership?In this case, my neighbor knew for quite some time that her husband was facing the end of his life, but apparently, the household ?nances are something that they never discussed.Yes, it is dif?cult to do, but I hope that, especially in these dif?cult times, more couples will address the ?nancial aspects of their lives, and if either of them has not made a will, there is no time like the present.- Concerned in Connecticut Dear Concerned in Connecticut: Thank you for your letter.Yes, everyone should make a will and have their ?nances in line, either by doing the accounting yourself, with your spouse or with professionals who have earned your trust.I hope your letter helps others who have not done so.Dear Annie: I am a single mom of four wonderful boys, two of whom are teenagers.I try my best to be good about discipline, and I take away their internet privileges when they don\u2019t do what is expected of them or when they stay up too late playing games online or chatting with friends.My two oldest sons also have phones, which I con?scate when they misbehave.It really seems to be the only thing that gets their attention and motivates them to get their act together.My oldest son, who is 17, bought his phone from someone a few years ago.It does not get service, but he uses Wi-Fi and apps to communicate with his friends.He also takes the family phone, which does get service, to school with him so he can text with his girlfriend throughout the day.This phone is meant to be left at home at all times.When I take his phone away, his argument is that he bought that phone himself and I have no right to take it from him.When I take the family phone away from him, his argument is that he needs it in case his boss tries calling him.He works on weekends; his job isn\u2019t even open throughout the week after he gets home from school, so that argument has no validity, in my opinion.I tell him that as long as he is living under my roof, he has to abide by my rules.I tell him there are consequences for his actions, which include losing his internet and phone privileges for a period of time.He tells me I\u2019m trying to control him and keep him from talking to anyone outside of our home.I tell him that\u2019s not true;
