July 25, 2011 Sherbrooke man charged with police assault A stubborn and impatient 29-year-old man was arrested in Sherbrooke last week after impeding the worker of the city’s police force.On Thursday, officers were dispatched to the comer of Kingston and McManamy Street to settle a dispute between the man and his girlfriend.After assessing the situation, police chose to arrest the woman since she was showing outward signs of intoxication and had been creating a public disturbance.As his girlfriend was placed in the police cruiser, the man protested but was ultimately ignored.Upset, the suspect walked on foot to the nearby police station and waited in front of the garage for the cruiser to arrive.When the garage door opened, the suspect slid inside the station to continue his protest.At a certain point during the incident, the man became physical with one of the officers.Having cause, the police promptly arrested the suspect and charged him with impeding the work of a police officer, assaulting a police officer, and breaking probation.While he spent the night in jail, eventually given his conditional release the following day, his girlfriend was released once she had sobered up, just a few hours after her arrest.% Motorcycle crash on College Street Operator in stable condition AI BARBER ' * -SÜ.I The operator of this motorcycle was taken by ambulance to the CHUS Thursday afternoon after a collision with a car.The rider was determined to be in serious condition, but has since been upgraded to stable.By Corrinna Pole I.ENNOXV1LLE An accident between a motorcycle and a car on College Street in Lennoxville Thursday afternoon has left one driver in serious condition.According to reports, a man in his fifties was riding his motorcycle on College when the driver of an oncoming car turned left onto Oxford Crescent and into the path of the bike, causing the rider to lose control.The rider was admitted to the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CHUS) in critical condition.By Friday morning he was listed as stable.The road was closed to traffic for more than four hours as police attempted to reconstruct the accident.which was eerily similar to one that took place close by around the same time last year.On July 14, 2010, Marcel Nadeau, 73, was riding his motorcycle up College, when a car turning onto Archie-Mitchell Street cut him off causing him to collide with the vehicle.In that accident the Sherbrooke man lost his life.A hot afternoon in North Hatley Tom Cavanagh’s procrastination Page 6 V Page 2 Monday, July 25, 2011 ’t miss

unleashed his documentary, “Laughology,” at the Toronto Hot Docs Festival.The Globe and Mail called it “a hit,” and the National Post said it was “screamingly funny.” “Laughology” tells the story of the rise of the worldwide laughter movement and the new science about the health benefits of laughter at a time when the world needs a good laugh.It also features the man with "the most contagious laugh in the world.” The film chronicles unusual laughter phenomena such as Holy Laughter, Laughter Parties and the Tanzanian Laughter Epidemic.It is produced by Elevator Films, which operates out of Lac Brome, Quebec.As humorous as the idea sounds, Nerenberg’s study of laughter is a serious pursuit.His documentary chronicles many examples of the physiological benefits to be derived from laughter, not the least of which is the miraculous story of Norman Cousins, who claims to have cured a debilitating form of arthritis with laughter.“I made the joyous discovery that ten minutes of genuine belly laughter had an anesthetic effect and would give me at least two hours of pain-free sleep,” he reported.“When the pain-killing effect of the laughter wore off, we would switch on the motion picture projector again and not infrequently, it would lead to another pain-free interval.” Nerenberg, a Townships resident, journalist and laughologist, has been studying and disseminating laughter for years.And his latest project is sure to provide the healthy benefits such as those gained by listening to Doug Collins, the man with the world’s most contagious laugh, also featured in “Laughology.”

fighters crack up during the pre-fight stare, he got a crazy idea.“Instead of an ultimate fighting championship, what if you held an ultimate laughter championship?” he pondered.So began an unprecedented odyssey into the nature of violence, laughter and Quebec.The goal was to create the world’s first laughter championship and to find Quebec’s best laugher.While many consider the concept impossible and/or idiotic, the Laughologist inadvertently stumbled onto what may be an entirely new sport with revolutionary and hilarious results.And the first annual competition led to winner Nicole Veil-lette from Ste.Eustache taking the cup at Montreal’s Ultimate Laughing Championship.The second annual Montreal Ultimate Laughing Draw results: 2011-07-23 Championship will take place at this year’s Just for Laughs Film Festival, as a double header with the new documentary “Rire Extrême,” Nerenberg’s hilarious new film about the Montreal origins of the international competitive laughter trend.If you want to compete in this competition, you could be declared Best Laugher in Canada 2011.To check for details go to the Juste Pour Rire website at www.hahaha.com/fr/festival-du-film/longs-metrages#rireextreme.As Nerenberg’s documentary pointed out, “Plato hated it, the Bible discouraged it, scientists avoided it, psychologists once thought if it didn’t kill you, it would drive you insane,” but laughter is still one of the best ways for humans to connect and there’s no doubt that a good laugh is a tonic for almost any ailment.• v tFJ r.¦ • ê'

Cuba will be featuring sculptures and paintings.Some of his work will be available for sale even though the general purpose of the event is to be a gallery rather than a market place.There will be a wide array of works from the art world in the way of sculptures; paintings, photography, costume design, theatre, short film documentary, and poetry.Pastor Steven Black from the Greenridge Baptist Church says, “We aren’t doing a good job in the Lennoxville community around the arts for Christians, so some of us got together and decided to have this event to celebrate artwork from Christians.The common denominator is that all the artists are Christians who enjoy art work.” Included among the artists are some who attend Champlain as well as Bishop’s College School.The Pastor, says, “The theme for the event is taken from Luke 19:40 where it quotes Jesus saying the stones will cry out.Each artist is preparing artwork from his or her field to add to a collage that will be created at the end of the day.” People of all ages are invited to attend the event and fake a look at the fine artwork at no cost.Sylvia.recordlink@yahoo.ca im'w Special guest artist Pavel Moraquez from Cuba will be

and jumping outside is fun, but sometimes it’s time for a quiet read.Here are a few fun books for six- to nine-year-olds (give or take a couple of years!).Scamp the dog is unhappy with his life, and finally runs away from his boy, Orvie.A witch takes pity on the poor sad canine, who wants to be a great and noble creature, not just a dumb ole dog.But the well-meaning sorceress doesn’t turn Scamp into a mighty Percheron — she grants his deepest desire by turning him into something fantastically magically one of a kind.Scamp becomes a truly special creature, a whingdingdilly.“Zum zum zaroot

Page 12 Monday, July 25, 201 1 classad@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record He said their obvious attraction was well known at the office.Dear Annie: “Don” and I have been married for 43 years.I thought we had a good marriage, but my trust has been shaken recently.Don retired four years ago.He told me a former co-worker, “Lulu,” had e-mailed to ask to meet for lunch and catch up on the latest office gossip.It sounded pretty innocent to me, so I had no objection.Then my world turned upside down.Last week, I ran into another of Don’s ex-co-workers, who informed me that Don and Lulu had been having lunch together a few times a week for the past four years.He said their obvious attraction was well known at the office.Annie, Don never once mentioned these lunches to me.When I asked him point blank, he became quite upset and said there was nothing going on.I said I wanted the lunches and e-mails to end.He replied that he won’t initiate contact, but if Lulu e-mails him, he will respond.I find this unacceptable.Yesterday, Don said Lulu invited him to the office picnic.He plans to go, but said I shouldn’t attend because I’d be bored to tears.I told him if he attended this picnic without me, I would have to consider my next step.He thinks I’m bluffing.My best friend says I didn’t come down hard enough.She thinks I should move out and then tell our children, who have always admired their father.What is your take on all this, Annie?— Nervous Wife Dear Nervous: Don doesn’t want you at the picnic because he wants to be with Lulu (assuming there actually is a picnic).You should insist on going with him.Whether this is an affair or just a flirtation, Don is showing appalling disregard for you.Out of respect for your marriage, he needs to stop all contact with Lulu immediately.Try not to bring the children into this mess.Your next step should be counseling.Tell Don the marriage is in serious trouble, and ask him to come with you.If he refuses, go without him and figure out what is best for you.Dear Annie: A few weeks ago, my older sister invited my children and me on a day trip.She also invited a bunch of other people and family members.On the day of the outing, she stopped by my house and asked me not to come.She told me she had invited my exboyfriend, a guy I had dated for seven years.We split up two years ago because he didn’t have the ability to remain faithful.My sister insists they are not dating, and that may be true, but it has really hurt me that she chose him over me.Knowing she had already invited my family, why would she ask him on the trip?She claims she did nothing wrong.My sister has always been my best friend.I am so upset about this.How does our relationship recover?— Miss My Sis in Pennsylvania Dear Miss: Your sister was both rude and inconsiderate.Regardless of what she says about not dating your ex-boyfriend, she is definitely interested in him.That may not be a wise move on her part, but she’ll have to learn the hard way.Tell her you are hurt, ask her not to do this again, and then try to forgive her.Dear Annie: This is in response to “Fed-Up Mom,” whose 18-year-old son refuses to brush his teeth.We had a similar experience.The lack of hygiene turned out to be the first warning sign that our son had mental illness.It took several years for mere symptoms to appear, and by then, he was over 21 and we could no longer force him to get treatment.I suggest these parents check with their local NAMI chapter about what to watch for.— Another Mom Dear Annie: My daughter, “Julia,” is 16 and has not one true friend.Her friends are all nice, polite girls and boys, but they ditch her on a regular basis.They cancel scheduled outings at the last minute or never show up.Julia is reliable, loyal and compassionate.She knows how to be a supportive friend.1 realize parents can be blind to their child’s weaknesses, so I asked Julia’s teachers if she is imperious or condescending or exhibits any antisocial behavior.They were equally baffled, saying she is an acknowledged peer leader and an excellent student, captain of the dance team and co-editor of the school paper.Yesterday, the girl Julia considers her closest friend once again failed to show up for a pre-arranged activity, never bothered to say she couldn’t make it and didn’t respond to Julia’s calls or texts for three hours.This is someone who has spent the night at our house, has been on our family vacations and who Julia has supported through many emotional ups and downs.This has gone on since elementary school, and Julia and I find such behavior puzzling and hurtful.I cannot tell if this is pervasive behavior with me-cen-tric millennials, or if Julia somehow attracts the wrong friends the way some really great women consistently attract the wrong guy.Julia has learned that when she confronts friends about their behavior, they punish her socially.How should I advise and support her?— Fuming Yet Again Dear Fuming: We agree that many kids these days are thoughtless about keeping appointments, but we find it more likely that Julia is hanging with a shallow, self-absorbed group.Teachers wouldn’t necessarily notice if her friends find her emotionally needy or somehow lacking in social status.But true friends do not treat you poorly and then ostracize you when asked why.Support Julia by encouraging her to befriend kids in a different crowd.She seems too mature for the friends she has.Dear Annie: We use a toilet brush to clean our dishes.It makes a nice, efficient scrubber, it is sold in our grocery store next to the brooms and sponges.There is a smaller brush sold in a different section that is specifically for cleaning dishes.Tell me, what makes a brush a “toilet” brush?The packaging and the words on the label?— Happy in the Kitchen, Bathroom (and Bedroom) Dear Happy: A brush is just a brush.How you use it determines its function.Most toilet brushes are so labeled primarily because they have longer handles (for obvious reasons).As long as you use separate brushes for the kitchen and the bathroom, it’s OK with us.Dear Annie: My heart goes out to “Numb in Nevada,” whose son’s girlfriend became angry when Mom showed up at the hospital when she gave birth, and now Mom has been cut off from her grandchild.We related to the hospital incident, rebuffs to seeing the baby, the long list of wrongdoings, the silent treatment and the declarations that they would dictate whether we would be allowed into their lives.It has been five years for us.The grief stages we went through in losing our son and his family were devastating.My advice: Forgive them, love them in your heart, but protect yourself from the cruelty they dispense.“Numb” and I should start a support group.There must be other parents reeling from this type of dysfunctional and damaging behavior.— Coping in California Dear Coping: There are too many parents whose children have cut them off.Fortunately, there is support through AARP (aarp.org) at 1-888-OUR-AARP (1-888-687-2277), which has an online community for grandparents in your situation.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column Annie’s Mailbox What is black and white, white, value read all over and serves as a great teaching tool?The newspaper, of course.Teachers can use the newspaper in a number, of ways in the classroom to enhance students’ education.They can cut several pieces of art from the paper and have young students just learning to write name them, or clip a feature story from the paper and have older students respond to it in an essay.Whatever the activity, newspapers benefit students.When used in the classroom, they improve students’ reading, writing and critical thinking skills, inspire them to participate in discussions and debates, and expand their knowledge of past, current and future events.mTHEmw RECORD The Record prod
