The Good Reads review this week is by Juliette Welch, reviewing "Piranesi" by Susanna Clarke. Here's a sneak peek:

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke builds a labyrinth both on the page and in the mind. We open up with Piranesi (who gets the slight inkling that he actually has a different name, but we’re left just as confused on that topic as he is) telling us in exacting detail about his House. It has winding halls that open to the sea, large Grecian statues littered about, and a lot of birds. More birds than people. In Piranesi’s world there are 16 humans: himself, the Other, and 13 skeletons that he reveres and mourns, even if they’re left unnamed. The Other is the only Other living person that Piranesi knows, and he only sees him twice a week. The 16th person is you. Or rather, whoever is reading the journals that Piranesi is writing in. The Other has conscripted Piranesi to accomplish his life’s work: to find the forgotten knowledge that would allow him (the Other) dominion over “lesser minds”.

Piranesi is an unwilling accomplice. He doesn’t believe in the powers that the Other is searching for, and the Other’s base motivation of domination rankles Piranesi more and more as the book continues. Especially as Piranesi starts to realize that he has forgotten things, even with his intensely detailed journals logging every statue, every tide, and every step he takes in his House. We as readers get to follow him too, even if the developments are largely confusing. I think what makes the book still interesting to go through blindly is that Piranesi is a confident navigator in his limited reality. He knows where he is, even when we don't. He knows which halls flood, where the birds gather, when the tides come in, and where he needs to go to find food. The House is confusing to us, but it is home to him...

Cookshire native finds his calling in the classroom
By Rebecca Arnold
Local Journalism Initiative

Adam Veilleux remembers attending his mother’s graduation from teacher’s college as a teen.
“It was very long,” he laughed, sharing the story with The Record.
Sixteen years later, Veilleux just crossed the same Université de Sherbrooke stage, excited to begin his own career in preschool and elementary education. This proud moment marks the culmination of several years of soul searching and a few professional detours along the way.
“It’s not an easy task to decide what you want to do for a living when you’re so young and you don’t know yourself yet,” said Veilleux.
The new grad initially considered becoming a police officer, before pivoting to study graphic design, only to discover that commercial projects took a lot of the fun out of being creative.
Still drawn to the idea of playing a protective role in his community, Veilleux then trained as a security guard and worked at Bishop’s University for seven years. While he enjoyed the experience, he says it ultimately clarified that his true passion lies in helping people. The punitive side of security work? Not so much.
“After working several night shifts in a row, so many night shifts, I told myself: ‘Adam, you need to find something else. Something that you’ll be happy doing for the rest of your life.’”
Veilleux thought about retraining in social work, but ultimately decided to follow in his mother’s footsteps and apply to the Bachelor of Education program at UdeS. He would be one of relatively few men choosing the profession. In 2023-24, just 23 per cent of teachers in Quebec’s public school system were men, according to the Institut de la statistique du Québec.
“When I got my acceptance letter, I wasn’t sure if I would fit in,” he shared. “But it didn’t take long for me to feel like I belonged.”..

The Record visited the North Hatley Elementary School this morning, to celebrate the money they received from the North Hatley Recreational Society.

North Hatley Recreation Society supports elementary school skating program
By Mathew McCully

North Hatley Elementary received a $2,000 funding boost to support its fall skating program thanks to a donation delivered to the school on Thursday, Oct. 8 by Michael Munkittrick on behalf of the North Hatley Recreation Society (NHRS).
On the weekend of Aug. 1-2 the NHRS hosted a giant garage sale at the school, raising a total of $6,250, an improvement from last year, according to Munkittrick.
The local non-profit, which has been supporting recreational activities for decades in North Hatley, provided $2,000 to North Hatley Elementary which will support the fall skating program. An additional $1,500 will be reserved for renting the rink at BCS on Saturdays in October and November, Munkittrick said.
While presenting the cheque to the school on Thursday, the long-time NHRS member said over 50 volunteers helped with the recent fundraising sale.
“It seems the amount of time we put into this grows every year, but the volunteers are more than willing to give their time and support the causes,” Munkittrick wrote in a letter to members about the sale and donation.
“I would like to thank all the volunteers who helped; cashiers and salespeople, sorting of books into categories on the stage, cleaning and repairing items so they were presentable and pricing of items. There were several people who worked steadily for 5 to 6 days and I could not have done it without your help,” he said in the NHRS letter. “Aside from the money raised, this event is all about community collaboration and people look forward to it every year. I would also like to thank the school for making the gym available to run this event.”
North Hatley Elementary School Principal Tracey Harding said the donation is a big help.
“On behalf of the students, staff and families, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the North Hatley Recreation Society,” Harding shared in a statement provided to The Record.
“Thanks to their generous support, we are able to provided funded student transportation for our fall skating program at the Pat Burns Arena in Stanstead. Getting our students out onto the ice is a cherished tradition, and this grant ensures that travel costs do not pose a barrier to participation,” the principal said.

Carney announces $2B plan to cut home heating costs
By Rebecca Arnold
Local Journalism Initiative

Mark Carney held a press conference Thursday at Dettson Industries, a heating equipment manufacturer in Sherbrooke. He greeted the crowd on a light note, with a joke about our collective need for a Canadiens-Oilers Stanley Cup final.
But with winter approaching, the prime minister’s main focus was on keeping Canadians warm, as he unveiled a $2-billion investment in home improvements aimed at reducing energy consumption. The measures are intended to lower both heating costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
According to the federal government, over seven million households in Canada still rely on oil, propane, diesel, electric baseboards or outdated furnaces to heat their homes.
“These fuels are not just more polluting, they're less efficient,” said Carney, adding that in many cases this entails paying up to 45 per cent more than necessary to stay warm.
To encourage the switch to more efficient electric heat pumps, the Liberals are launching a new National Heat Pump Rebate program, intended to benefit up to 820,000 households.
Those earning below the median income could receive up to $10,000 toward the purchase of a heat pump, while others would qualify for $2,000. Both rebates can be combined with existing provincial subsidies to further reduce upfront costs.
The program is also designed to help Canadians avoid those dreaded winter emergencies. According to Carney, more than 80 per cent of heating system replacements occur when an old unit breaks down unexpectedly.
“Our new program remedies the situation. Applications will be approved within 24 hours,” stated Carney. Starting in January, households will be able to apply for the rebate through an online portal, with no energy audits required before or after installation.
When asked why he chose to make this particular announcement in Sherbrooke, Carney praised Dettson Industries as an example of local innovation, noting that the company employs more than 1,100 people nationwide...

A word from Frontier Animal Society Shelter - Ogden, QC:

MEET Opie!

Sweet, playful and full of personality, Opie is an adorable dilute tortoiseshell kitten who is ready to find her forever home!
Opie has been living in a loving foster home, where she has received plenty of affection, attention and socialization. At around five months old, she's everything you would expect from a happy, healthy kitten: rambunctious, curious and just a little mischievous!
She loves chasing toys, exploring her surroundings and playfully pestering her foster family's resident cat. But when playtime is over, Opie has a wonderfully affectionate side. She starts purring as soon as she sees her favourite people and is always happy to enjoy a little cuddle time.
Thanks to her young age and the socialization she's received, we believe Opie would adapt well to a home with other cats or even a friendly dog.
Opie has been vaccinated and spayed, and now all she needs is a family to call her own.
If you think you can be the one to give Opie the loving forever home she deserves, please send an email to [email protected]
