November the Youth Centre in Mansonville will hold its largest fundraising initiative of the year with their Annual Rock-a-thon where participants get donations and then spend four hours rocking in a rocking chair while participating in activities.This is the one Youth Centre fundraiser per year where people are asked to make a contribution without getting something tangible back in return but rather just the knowledge that, by way of their donation, they have supported the youth programming of the CABMN in providing quality programs for youth.\u201cWe thank the volunteers, donors and attendees who made the Jewelery Sale fundraiser such a success,\u201d stated Eleanor Cote, Youth Animator.\u201cWe are very proud of the youth we serve and having the support of the community and

419,719.There were 13 new Covid-related deaths recorded over the weekend, bringing the total to 11,444.As of Sunday there were 303 hospitalizations as a result of the virus across Quebec, 76 of which were in intensive care.These ?gures are similar to where they were on Thursday.Friday marked the last major update in the Eastern Townships, at which point the region recorded 272 active cases.That number marked an increase from the previous day\u2019s 261, and included 78 cases in Sherbrooke, 74 in the Haute-Yamaska, 23 in des Sources, 21 in Granit,19 in the Val Saint- François, 18 in Memphremagog, 16 in Coaticook, 15 in the Pommeraie, seven in the Haute-Saint- François, and two not linked to a particular area.There were two new deaths due to the virus over the period from last

the other being the Toronto Maple Leafs-owned Newfoundland Growlers, based in St.John\u2019s, NL.Québecor also owns two Quebec Major Junior Hockey League teams, the Québec Remparts and the Blainville- Boisbriand Armada, as well as the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League, the farm team of les Canadiens.Coyly saying that it\u2019s always been his goal \u201cto be even more part of the joy of hockey,\u201d Péladeau said Quebecor\u2019s application for an NHL franchise is still on Bettman\u2019s desk.Without speci?cally stating he\u2019s ready to open his wallet to the tune of a billion smackers, Péladeau did allow that \u201cwe have a company with the ?nancial means and a broadcaster too.We continue to push our candidacy to eventually own a (NHL) hockey team.\u201d He added that Québecor board chairman and erstwhile Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney \u201ccontinues to work in that direction.\u201d So, let\u2019s take PKP at his word and assume the money would be there.What about political clout (besides Mulroney) to move the dossier forward?How about Quebec Premier Francois Legault, himself a fan and former player of the sport of rinks?The premier stickhandled his way into the topic of an NHL team in Quebec City a few months ago in the context of the shocking occurrence of the Canadiens icing a roster with not a single Quebecois in the line-up.Legault said that one way to ensure more Quebec player content on Quebec-based teams is to have an NHL team return to the capitale nationale.He said he would like helping bring the Nordiques back to Quebec City to be part of his legacy as premier.Having conquered the pandemic (but not yet all the unvaccinated), Legault might be looking for another big challenge.Gary Bettman and NHL governors, however, may be more daunting to conquer than a coronavirus.Covid conquered, could return of Nordiques be next on Legault\u2019s to-do list?Peter Black DEAR MR.MALTAIS, On behalf of those living distant from Owl\u2019s Head, I am requesting an additional polling site be offered in the downtown sector of Mansonville.Not only for Election Day, but also for the advanced polls.If the Town Hall is not ideal, the Mansonville (English) Elementary School is, since it is both: - handicapped accessible, and - has adequate COVID-safe space.It has also been used as a polling station for many other elections.Yes, the Owl\u2019s Head site will undoubtedly be popular with the residents living in Vale Perkins and Owl\u2019s Head.However, most (all?) own cars and are generally more able to travel, in contrast to those for whom the site will be dif?cult to access.This includes those living in town (Mansonville), as well as in Highwater and Dunkin, including the Ruiter Brook sector.If no in-town polling station can be arranged, a free handicapped-accessible shuttle service should be made available for those wanting to vote.I trust the administration wishes high-voter turnout.SINCERELY, MURIELLE PARKES POTTON Letters Open Letter to Potton Director General and Returning Of?cer 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 18, 2021 Page 7 Local Sports Jacob Gasperetti (Ottawa, ON/Notre Dame H.S.) scored ?ve times and added four helpers as the Bishop\u2019s Gaiters lacrosse team dominated Ottawa 19-5 on a rainy Saturday night in Lennoxville.Gasperetti scored twice in the ?rst quarter to pace Bishop\u2019s to a 3-2 advantage before they exploded in the second.They outscored the Gee-Gees 8-2 for an 11-4 halftime edge.After the break the rout was on as the Gaiters scored six unanswered goals in the third frame and two more in the fourth before Ottawa found the back of the net late to make the ?nal 19-5.Sam Firth (Ottawa, ON/Nepean H.S.) tallied six points, four goals and two assists.He currently leads all CUFLA with 38 points, 11 ahead of second place.His 24 goals are also tops in the league by eight.The win improves the Bishop\u2019s to 5-0 on the year and assures them a home playoff game in the CUFLA East division.It is slated for Oct.30.Before they get there, they will wrap up their regular season on Sunday, Oct.24 when the Queen\u2019s Gaels (3-1) visit Coulter Field with ?rst place in the division potentially on the line.Faceoff is set for noon.Submitted by Marty Rourke, Bishop\u2019s Sports Information Record Staff The Desjardins-Windsor Wild organization would like to provide an update on one of its players who suffered a signi?cant injury during Friday night\u2019s opening game.A few minutes into the ?rst home game of the regular season, team captain Richard Camiré left the game and was sent to the hospital.He later took the time to explain what happened.\u201cI slipped with my foot under my buttocks and when we slid into the corner, my foot turned upside down,\u201d said the team captain.I have a fractured ?bula,\u201d he said.I\u2019m still ?ne this morning,\u201d he said on Saturday morning.\u201cI want to thank the organization, the City of Windsor employees and everyone who helped me from the moment I left the ice until the paramedics arrived.\u201d The Windsor Wild hope that the recovery goes well and that the team can see their captain in action again by the end of the season.The Desjardins -

or any person who is important to me - down like that.Earlier this summer, I had asked him not to take a different family matter and discuss it with his staff, but he did.My husband is quite a talker.He says things that come to his mind and maybe thinks about them later.I am just the opposite.Many things come to my mind but only to think about.Later, he apologized.For the life of me, I cannot believe he threw me under the bus like that.The trust is gone, and I feel really hurt.We are working on rebuilding it with some help.I often stay in the garden, working on little things and crying.I have a dif- ?cult time forgetting and forgiving.I keep our discussions only on safe topics to avoid more trouble.Am I overly sensitive feeling this way?Is there a right or wrong in our situation?- Feeling Hurt Dear Feeling: It does not make you overly sensitive to feel betrayed, hurt and uncomfortable.Your husband violated your trust and exposed your private matters to his colleagues.Aside from upsetting you, this is also highly inappropriate and unprofessional as a leader.Arrange for the two of you to speak in the presence of a couples counselor.This is not the ?rst time your husband has turned chatty amidst a tiff at home, and it\u2019s time to break the pattern.A third party might help you feel more comfortable articulating your thoughts to him without feeling like you\u2019re causing \u201cmore trouble.\u201d It will also give him the space to talk these things out with the right people, keeping your personal matters between the two of you and out of the of?ce.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
