Mice will be circulating close to schools throughout the day to ensure the safety of students.They will also be paying particular attention to speed limits in school zones, pedestrian crosswalks and parking reserved for school buses.1,500 pot plants seized MÂXÏMÜM 30 7h - I7h LUX * VtN By Rita Legault Sherbrooke Provincial police officers from the Brome-Missisquoi detachment seized some 1500 pot plants from five different plantations on Wednesday marking a start to the fall harvest season for both cannabis growers and police.Every year from August till mid-October, growers are busy harvesting their illegal crops before the frost while drug enforcement officers take on their traditional role of hunters and gatherers, try- ing to snatch as much of the massive marijuana yield as possible before it ends up on the market.On Wednesday, officers from Brome Missisquoi raided five pot plantations, including one in Bolton East, one in Brigham, one in Pike River and two in Farnham, reported Sûreté du Québec spokesman Louis-Philippe Ruel.While no arrests were made, 1468 plants were cut down and seized by police.Marijuana is one of the most profitable crops in the Townships.see Ruel page 5 fame Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles page 8 Friday, August 29, 2008 • ¦THE — RECORD Community Forum The truth is the truth Sorry, I don’t feel a bit of remorse, regret, anguish or guilt.Of late, I have come down hard on the Eastern Townships Tourist Association (ETTA), the City of Magog and Federal authorities, and I have no regrets.From comments by readers of my letters, both here, in New England and elsewhere, annoyance caused by disregard for English, or the demeaning of the language is unacceptable and insulting.Showing some readers Magog’s elaborate unilin-gual French booklet on culture and recreational programs was galling enough.However, when reminding outside readers how insignificant use of English is here, reaction was, to say the least, putrid! Response from most of those outside of the Townships, was quick, cutting and not the least sympathetic to the Quebec language controlling authorities and their medieval feudalism.Their comments should send a message to those who steer tourism municipal programs, and especially the mustard-coloured ‘Office de langues français!’ Quebec is not so enticing and wonderful, that people are willing to come here and be insulted.Charles Catch paugh Magog to express their appreciation to everyone who helped make our Canada Day Pancake Breakfast and Flea Market such a success.Special thanks go to our caring staff and to the volunteers who devoted their time so generously and worked so hard for the home.St.Paul’s would also like to thank everyone who donated to our Flea Market in The Carriage House basement.Because the Home is a non-profit organization we really depend on the support of the community to make a comfortable home for our residents and to maintain our high standards.Special thanks to all our patrons too, who joined us for pancakes in the Carriage House and browsed for bargains at our Flea Market.In memory of Ken MacLeod three trees were planted bordering the driveway leading into St.Paul’s.We chose a Gingko and two Asur Maples to replace the mountain ash trees that had to be removed.Thank you so much to all of the gardeners who remembered St.Paul’s with their garden surplus.Our residents really enjoy the fresh vegetables.Mark Sunday, November 30, on your calendar for our Christmas Tea and Sale.Do you have something to donate to the Home for our Christmas Fund Raiser?Let Matron, Norma Wiley, know at (819) 872-3356.The Directors of St.Paul’s Home Muriel Fitzsimmons Bury Bury Home news The Directors of St.Paul’s would like Millies gets thumbs up A few weeks ago we read an article by Ellen Goldfinch about “Millies Diner,” ¦ ¦¦ THE ¦ RECORD 53760 ARTïÇT’Ç CORMQ Jcrerhy this Sun is So nice to See!

so they couldn’t leave even if they wanted to.There were no new double A batteries in this lab, but the researchers there weren’t worrying about their sudden imprisonment, as they were too busy worrying about other things, such as the rare and supposedly incurable disease that had popped up rather nervously at their doorstep an hour before.It was called Jounkytis, named after the sheer amount of junk emanating from the patients head, and a letter that were hanging around the broken paper shredder.The patient in question was a From the eyes of a 15-year-old Jonathan Lahue teenaged boy named Jonathan, and he was getting seriously annoyed at the - fact that being annoyed supposedly made his ailment worse.There is only one known cause of Jounkytis, and it is an ironic alchemy of mindboggleingly wonderful writing talent, and newspapers.Unfortunately the bodies of most columnists have not yet developed an immunity to the sickness, and the vaccine is a complicated, and sometimes deadly mixture of stale baking ingredients.The symptoms are mostly mental.A patient will be constantly outputting large amounts of information from their brains.The only problem is that all of this information is total, utter, garbage, with only very small portions that are recyclable.In fact, saying that it’s garbage would be an insult to garbage! It’s just that bad.But wait, that’s just the first stage of the disease; the second one is much worse.In the second stage, the patient no- Moments shared tices his ailment.This is particularly bad, as it will cause extreme frustration similar to that caused by some telephone operators, and that can only lead to further complications: stage three.Stage three is the worst.It is simply horrible to live with it at this point, because at stage three you become contagious, spreading it around to any writer you meet.Several writing organisations got together and decided that the only way to solve the problem (or at least solve it from their point of view) would be to blacklist any afflicted writers, so that they could not infect any of their members.They soon found this unnecessary, as stage four already included “unwanted exclusion”.Jonathan is at stage two, but the situation looks bleak, as no one has ever been cured before.The worst part is that labs can be boring.Especially if you’ve been specifically told not to touch anything and to just wait patiently for the test results to process.That is why he then decided to walk around.As a patient, he was not bound to respect the dead clock and stay in the room, so he leapt from his uncomfortable chair, made sure no-one was watching him, and zipped out the nearest door.It turned out to be a broom closet, but upon using the next door, he was successful.The kitchen.Now this was no ordinary kitchen! It was the kind of fully stocked kitchen that only the very most secretest and beforehand never even heard of universities could afford.While the scientists were busy solving a serious problem caused by alchemy, the young writer decided to play with it some more.He took all the stale, and disused ingredients he could find, not even skipping a beat at something labelled “a squash (we think) that was thought to be a watermelon by it’s disappointed picker”.After having fun with the waffle iron and pressure cooker, he decided to eat what he made.Amazingly, and although there were things like goats eyes and snake livers in it, it tasted quite good.It even made him feel good.So good in fact that he decided to write something entirely recyclable for once this week.At first the scientists were baffled, but after a bit of pondering the surveillance tapes, they came to this conclusion: sometimes you must fight fire with fire, in this case, it’s just some creative alchemy with more alchemy.They also concluded that the clock wasn’t working, and decided to start developing a universal battery right away.In the weeks to come the University of Mafaldespia discovered many more cures, but they did not tell a soul.Some people think it was because the goal of a university is to make people smart, and let them think for themselves.The real answer was much simpler.The clock was dead.a*e€n HOME CARE ASSISTANCE The photos depicting Ayer’s Cliff Fair memories, which have appeared throughout the week, have all been submitted by readers.The Record welcomes contributions and hopes to see submissions of other local events in which readers wish to share.These photos have been submitted by Wendy Luce.Thank you for sharing Wendy.Looking for work?Trying to choose a career?Job Links can help!

that was until CTV and TSN bought the theme song up.A move Coley sees as unwise.“It’s not right on another network," he explains, “You look at TSN or ESPN, they have very slick production, all very modern, very fast paced, the Hockey Night Song is the exact opposite of that, it’s slow, it just doesn’t fit at all.” To put it in hockey terms Coley said, “It’s like if Wayne Gretzkey went to play for Team USA because his wife is American after all these years of being the face of Canadian hockey.” In the end, Coley says he was mostly disappointed about the CBC losing the iconic tune, but feels that Hockey Night In Canada can live on without it’s original theme song.“It is a very well written piece of music,” Coley admits, “but look, it’s not essential to the functioning of the show, it’s like someone who drinks beer can drink beer without pretzels; it just might not be as good.” After the public outcry occurred over the loss of the theme song, the CBC realized they had a public relations problem on their hands, but decided quickly, to turn those lemons into lemonade.This is where musicians such as JF Coley step in to fill the theme song void, for good or bad.“The fact is, the song that wins this competition is not going to be a critique of great music,” he says.So why submit anything if you don’t think it’s great music?“Well, people kept sending me links to the compétition asking me to write something, it was like two months of nagging, I finally figured I would go for it.” After all, figures Coley, it is worth a shot.“It’s like they say, you can’t win the lottery if you don’t buy a ticket, I figured why not try it.” And just how confident is Coley in his submission?“Look it’s not great music, but it’s not supposed to be, it’s a theme song.” Coley has a point.By all listening standards, beyond its iconic appeal, the original- theme isn’t something we would all put on our Ipods, but it did its job perfectly, and that’s what Coley hopes his submission might do.As for those established artists writing theme song hopefuls, well Coley isn’t so sure it’s a good idea.“For any established group working on a theme song, man that is such a bad idea,” he says and he goes on to point out the danger at hand for anyone established trying to write a new iconic tune,“Let’s say a rock song, or any song with vocals, gets picked, people are going to be mad because it sounds so different from the old one, they’re going to rag on it.” As for an all instrumental tune in the same style as the original theme; well, according to Coley, that’s not a very good idea either.“People who liked the old one will rag on that as well.Really it’s a lose/lose for whoever wins.” So with all the possible negative outcomes, why would JF Coley contribute not one but two (he has worked on a second theme with fellow Galt teacher COURTESY OFJF COLEY Coley is more comfortable brandishing a guitar than a hockey stick, but wants to win CBC contest.Todd Winquist) songs to the contest?Like any other Canadian, Coley still thinks it would be pretty cool to have his song as the Hockey Night in Canada theme.So does Coley have any hockey roots or is he coming at this competition simply a musician?“I actually didn’t play any organized hockey as a kid,” admits Coley who was a competitive downhill skier in his younger days, “but I still get hockey sticks and a jersey every Christmas, then go out and play on the pond kind of thing.” There seems like no more iconic Canadian ideal than the young Canadian pond hockey player so Coley definitely qualifies, and now he does in fact play some organized hockey.“I started playing in an intramural league when I got to university,” explains Coley of his hockey playing career, “and now I am in two leagues, so I play lots of hockey these days.” While Coley is hoping either his own submission or the submission he and Winquist have recorded together does get chosen (he seems to actually think the duo’s effort is the better of the two songs), he also has his own ideas on what should be the theme.“I think Sam Roberts could probably actually write a pretty good one,” he says, referring to the Canadiens fan and Montreal rocker, but for his money Coley thinks Canada already has some well established hockey songs that could easily step in for the original theme."The Tragically Hip have ‘The Hockey Song’ and then of course there is Stompin’ Tom Connor’s ‘Good 01’ Hockey Game; I mean those are two of the best hockey songs ever.” Two of the best, but arguably, not The Best, and, whether it fits or not, CTV and TSN own that one now.You can check out JF Coley’s submissions on the CBC’s website: anthemchallenge.cbc.ca and simply searching Coley on the contest web 10th Anniversary tf9L DANVILLE Arts Symposium FRfDAY August 29th2008 Art exhibitions open from 2 p.m.until 8 p.m.SATURDAY August 30fh2008 Art exhibitions open from 10 a.m.until 8 p.m.Music with band "MoBlues” at the Symposium Bistro from 2 p.m.until 5 p.m.Guided tour of Danville’s churches and architecture with historian Robert Lemire leaving from United church at 2:00 p.m.FREE Beef BarBQ at the Canadian Legion, starting at S p.m.Cost : 15$ (includes dance) Poetry reading by Bruno Heureux from Belgium at 8:30 p.m.at the Symposium Bistro SUNDAY AugustS/st2008 Art exhibitions open from 10 a.m.until 8 p.m.Guided tour of Danville's churches and architecture with historian Robert Lemire leaving from United church at 2:00 p.m.FREE Music with "EnPortée” at the Symposium Bistro from 2 p.m.until 5 p.m.AAONDAYSeptember/st2008 Art exhibitions open from 10 a.m.until 4 p.m.Jazz Music with “Version Jazz” at the Symposium Bistro from I p.m.until 4 p.m.Drawing for honorary president's painting and official closing of event at 4:30 p.m.at the Symposium Bistro Many other activities for the whole family.Come see for yourself.* For more information'on any activities listed above, please contact: The Danville tourism office at 1-888-839-291 I http://www.symposiumdedanville.com/welcome.html a page 12 Friday, August 29, 2008 • ¦THE» I RECORD The week that was in the world of sports g_PE defiuôi 1903 UHC€ iU /O OFF CLOTHING IN STOCK |§|§ LA- 600 Compton St.East, Waterville (819) 837-2966 The ideal place for your family or group tournament! § An enchanting site that will charm you Charity Night Golf Hits Hole-in-One The night golf was a succès.We made at last count (people are still giving) $1,070.I want to thank all who participated and all those who gave.Donations: David McBride, Dan Major, RossAulis, Doug Guthrie, Marilyn Turner, Judy Munkittrick, Pam Graham, Jody, Tina, Cody, Summer Mcnab, Isabelle Taillon, Joey Sabo, Eddie Pomykala, Nathan and Sasha Taillon, Joanne Smyth, Emilie Vachon, The municipality of Bury, The caisse Populaire des haute boise.Time: Carole Taillon, Raymond Binette Players: Renee Martel, Stephen and Raphael Vachon, Terry Howell, Liz Harrison, Rick Laroche, Mark St.Laurent, Pete Murray, Chris Main, Marie Claude Mercier, Colby Main, Arnold Wmget, Mary Dezan, Bryan Perrault, David Taillon, Dana Lepoidevin, Keith Langevin, Steve Gillam, Sue and the winners with a round of even par Gary Barter, Mike Jones, Neil Fequet, Jimmy Crook.All of the people listed above are the reason it was such a success.I am already planning next year's so keep your eyes and ears open.Again Thank-you Very much.- Submitted by Solanges Griffin Taillon CGreat fairway & green conditions^ Come see our new inventory at the Pro Shop!

they get back together and have babies.We’re just like that.When we get back together we’re gonna produce.” - Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals on clicking with his teammates again on offense.Johnson also wants to legally change his name to Ocho Cinco (Spanish for 85, his number) so that he can wear his nickname on his back during games.The Putt: Vijay Singh sinks a long putt on the first playoff hole against Sergio Garcia to prolong the playoff.He would win it on the next hole and take The Barclay’s Classic for the fourth time in his career.The Host: Michael Phelps.Set to host season premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 13 with musical guest Lil’ Wayne.The Billion Dollar Golf Course: The Tiger Woods golf course and resort being built in Dubai.Estimated cost: $1.09 billion.Growing grass in the middle of the desert must not be cheap.Tiger Wood’s name probably doesn’t come for free either.The Expectations: High.For Alexander Galt senior football, who started practice this past week and, with plenty of returning players the team sees good things ahead in the upcoming season.The Same Expectations: See above;

a fender banger, lots of frayed nerves and results that were critical to those drivers vying for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.And if the Sprint Cup Series needed a rivalry, then look no further than Bristol’s 30th anniversary race where Carl Edwards’s suggested in Victory lane that perhaps a rivalry with series point’s leader Kyle Busch might have been born at the .533-mile bull-ring.“Rivalries are just fine.It’s fun to watch.You know.I know as a fan of other sports it’s always neat when there’s something going on, some story behind the scenes.” Unhappy with losing a race in the same fashion that he has used en route to Victory Lane, Busch bumped Edwards after the checkers and received an invitation to the sanctioning body's transporter after the race.“I tried to get him back,” admitted Busch, who has finished second to Edwards the last two races.“But Denny (Hamlin) got by me, and then I had to battle with him toward the end." Hamlin ran third, followed by Kevin Harvick and Jeff Gordon, as all three drivers posted much-needed top-five finishes to solidify their positions in the top 12.- Mike “Beetle” Bailey, who notched his first career win and Jamie Fisher, who had not visited Victory Lane since 2006 split a pair of 50-lap features at Thunder Road on Thursday night.The double-feature event tightened the Late Model points chase when points leaders Eric Williams and Cris Michaud failed to turn in stellar performances: Williams was seventh and 12th, while rival Michaud finished eighth and 11th.Williams leads the

needed.Following a Lap 226 restart in Friday night’s Nationwide Series Food City 250 at Bristol International Speedway, point’s leader Clint Bowyer slipped in turn two and opened the door for Keselowski to take the JR Motorsports No 88 to Victory Lane.The win was Ke-selowski’s second career victory and came from a 37th starting position.“We were dead equal, Clint and I, said Keselowski.“I knew I needed a break, and he gave it to me.All I could do is force him to run hard, and he made a mistake, I’m lucky.” Greg Biffle finished third, followed by pole sitter Cale Gale and David Stremme.Bowyer who has struggled as of late in the Cup Series couldn’t believe his fate, “I just can’t be lieve it.” I just got loose down there and made a mistake and gave it away,” said a very dejected Bowyer.Bowyer leads the series standings by 122 points over Ke selowski.Carl Edwards was a victim of a Lap 86 wreck.Edwards finished 37th, 90 laps down and slipped from second to third in the standings.- Kyle Busch continued his wining ways on Wednesday night taking the checkered flag at Bristol International Speedway in the O’Reilly 200 Craftsman Truck Series race.The win was the third for Busch this season in the series and his 17th overall in 2008 in NASCAR’s top three series.It came down to a green-white-checkered finish for Busch who had complained to his crew of the truck vapor-locking on previous restarts, an issue not readily apparent to those watching.But his final and most important restart was flawless, perhaps a blessing from the racing gods and he easily beat Todd Bodine.Busch led 145 laps and now has won in all three series-Cup-Nationwide and NCTS-at the .533 mile track.Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle previously captured Bristol’s national series “hat trick.” Johnny Benson, who was vying to become the first driver to win four consecutive truck races, finished fourth behind pole sitter Scott Speed and maintained his lead in the point’s standings over Ron Hornaday.- Mario Gosselin, a Quebec, Beauce region, native now living in Lake Wales FL drove to his first career Serie ACT Castrol Late Model victory at Autodrome Montmagny Speedway (Quebec) on Saturday night and followed up with a win in Sunday’s Montmagny 250 for a sweep of the Autodrome Montmagny Speedway’s double weekend.Gosselin, with career wins on the national ARCA RE/MAX Series superspeedways started 15th in the 22 car field and led the final 27 laps to post Saturday’s win.Donald Theetge finished second followed by Dany Ouellette who finished a season best third on Saturday night.Stephan Descoste of Oka, QC turned in a surprise performance on Sunday with a strong runner-up finish followed by stock car veteran Claude LeClerc in third.All wins have some degree of luck built in; Gosselin’s came when his No 12QC ran out of gas in the last corner of Sunday’s event.Gosselin was able to coast under the checkers for his second consecutive series win.Garage Garble - New Hampshire Motor Speedway’s economic stimulus package received another boost last week with the announcement that some lucky fan will drive off in a new 2008 Chevrolet Malibu following the Sylvania 300 on September 14 as the grand prize winner.In addition, twenty more speedway guests will share more than $6,000 of free Han-naford Grocery cards.The program will also award 10 lucky fans with a pair of tickets and prerace pit passes to the June 28, 2009 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at NHMS, the first event in the 2009 “Race to the Chase.” The grand prize winner will be announced as part of the prerace ceremonies at the race on Sunday, September 14.- Joe Gibbs Racing has giving the nod to 18 year-old Joey Logano to replace Tony Stewart in the No 20 Home Depot Toyota for the 2009 Sprint Cup season.Greg Zipadelli will continue as crew chief.I know Logano became the youngest winner in the Nationwide Series in June and I agree he will become a superstar but he has never driven a Sprint Cup race, never seen most of the tracks except on video games.What happened to earning your stripes?-Two Sprint Cup drivers- one an eight year veteran and the other, a Raybestos Rookie of the Year contender-made their Craftsman Truck Series debut at Bristol last Wednesday.Jimmie Johnson was the 10th different Sprint Cup champion to complete in a series race.John- son drove for Randy Moss Motorsports and ended the night in the garage after leading the event for 29 laps.Raybestos Rookie of The Year contender Patrick Carpentier made his attempt in a Bobby Hamilton Racing-VA Dodge.- NASCAR announced 2009 schedules for its Cup, Nationwide, and Craftsman Series last week.Of primary interest was a three-way date swap between Atlanta Motor Speedway, Auto Club Speedway (formerly California), and Talladega Superspeedway.Both Atlanta and Auto Club have suffered from the many fans dressed as empty seats syndrome the past couple of seasons and the move was initiated as a means to put paying butts in the seats.Atlanta should come out on top as it will get the Sunday .September 6, Labor Day weekend slot historically a Darlington date that was given to Auto Club a couple seasons ago.New Hampshire’s two race dates remain intact featuring both the first race in the “Race to the Chase” (Sunday June 28) and the first race in the “Chase for the Sprint Cup” (Sunday, September 20).- A milestone last weekend; for Kyle Petty who made his 50th career Bristol start on Saturday, the most among active drivers.- As previously rumored in RR&R Clint Bowyer will move to the new RCR team in the No 33 Cheerios/Hamburger Helper Chevrolet for 2009.The move opened the door for Casey Mears to take over the No 07 Jack Daniels Chevrolet.The announcement last weekend was a shocker for the balance of Bowyer’s team and crew chief, Gil Martin, who learned along with the rest of the world that they would not be moving with Bowyer.The announcement caused a stir among the No 07 crew; many of whom publicity said that they were not happy with the decision.Bowyer, who will have to earn his starting spots in the first five events next season (the points will stay with the No 07), more than a little disappointed by the move.“Its beats.beating out dents in the body shop," said Bowyer.plUS Phone a pair of tickets! al EALAXY *¦' CINEMAS f SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH 8 P.M.RECORD will draw 10 pairs

be proven wrong that there are no opportunities out there for you.It looks as if you’ll be joining someone with whom you were previously successful.This team will still have its magic.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Be discerning as to whom you disclose any sensitive information, because a shrewd operator may take this knowledge and use it to manipulate you in ways you can’t escape from.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Usually you are a reasonably disciplined person, but your defenses could be down and cause these sterling qualities to be absent.Steer clear of activities or circumstances that might tempt you.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - Should you have to lower your standards in order to profit personally in some manner, ask yourself whether it’s truly worth it.You’re the only one who will have to face this dilemma.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -You’ll like yourself better if you are a producer rather than one who merely ponders.Instead of searching for a reason why you shouldn’t do something, take positive action.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Usually you’re not reluctant to stand up for your rights if you feel you are getting the short end of the stick; yet that could be your tendency at this time.Get back in character.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — If you put too high a premium on your independence, you may be inclined to reject an interaction with someone who could help you.It’ll be your loss, not his or hers.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Associates and co-workers could have far greater respect and appreciation for your talents and abilities than you do.When others tell you how well you are doing, believe them.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — There are certain people to whom you have a tendency to feel inferior, especially in their presence.That will all change when you discover how highly they regard you.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t be overly concerned about doing things in ways that you hope will please others.It is much more important to please yourself in ways that you can feel good about.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Ifyou seek advice from too many sources, it could confuse rather than help you.Besides, in the final analysis, it will be a judgment call that will make that critical decision.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Before moving forward, don’t hesitate to ask the hard questions of those whose business tactics are dubious.It’s best not to take anything for granted.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — There is a strong possibility that you could be a bit more susceptible than usual to flattery, so be cognizant of anyone who might be aware of this; he or she may try to take advantage of you.Dear Annie; My husband and I have a single male friend who built a beautiful home four years ago.He’d have us over for a barbecue at his new place once or twice a year.Lately, though, it appears he has not cleaned the house since he first moved in.“Matt” has two dogs and there is dog hair everywhere.The rugs look like they have never been vacuumed.The kitchen countertops look dirty and 1 don’t even want to discuss the bathrooms.My husband and I have started making excuses not to visit and especially not to eat in his home.Matt lives in a remote area and cleaning help may be hard to find, but my husband would like to suggest he hire someone to do his housekeeping.Do you have any way to help us get this point across to Matt without hurting his feelings?— Matt’s Friends Dear Friends: Men are generally less sensitive about issues of housekeeping than women are.Next time you visit, we don’t think Matt would be overly embarrassed if you simply said, “Matt, you ought to get someone in here to help you dean up.Dogs shed a lot.” It would be even better if you had a name to give him.Do a little online research and see if there is a cleaning service in the area.Or suggest Matt ask one of his neighbors if they know anyone.You’d be doing him a favor.Dear Annie; I was recently diagnosed with the Epstein-Barr virus, which is a form of herpes.It is also connected to mononucleosis.The doctor made it sound like no big deal, even though he told me there is no cure.All he could recommend was to eat healthy, exercise and rest.I figured once we found out why I was constantly exhausted, I could get treatment.I was wrong.I feel so frustrated.Do you have any more information on 80th Birthday Please note time change The family of Patsy Millar wish to extend an invitation for a social gathering in her honor.To be held on the day of her birthday, Saturday, August 30, from 11:00 - 2:00 p.m.at the Ski de Fond Hall, 70 Lay Road, Melbourne, QC Best Wishes Only Annie’s Mailbox this virus?I have a wonderful husband and three beautiful children who need me.— Tired of Being Tired Dear Tired: While infectious mononucleosis tends to clear up on its own, the Ep-stein-Barr virus stays dormant in the system.It is actually quite common.Symptoms of infection can include a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, persistent fever and fatigue.Unfortunately, there currently is no specific treatment beyond your doctor’s recommendations.However, we suggest you contact the Chronic Ep-stein-Barr Virus Foundation at cebv.org for more information and the emotional support of others who suffer from the same diagnosis.Dear Annie: I read your response to “Sad Lady,” who is breaking up with “Joe,” the boyfriend who has lived with her in her home for five years.Joe had shared the bills and helped pay for some remodeling on the house, and now he wants to be reimbursed.You agreed.I feel you were too hasty in your response.She owns the house.Joe may have invested in some repairs and improvements, but he lived there for five years.Did he pay half of the house payment, or is the home mortgage free?Either way, he got a roof over his head for five years, and the fair market value of that should be used to offset his “investment.” Perhaps his share of the bills meets or exceeds the value he received.They need to sit down and figure that out or have someone help with the calculations.But in my mind, it is not equitable to automatically say she owes him some money.— Custer, S.D.Dear Custer: You make some excellent points.We don’t know if “shared the bills” means he paid half the mortgage or some other form of rent.If he paid nothing for living in her house, we agree that this should be taken into consideration when working out an arrangement regarding repayment for home repairs.Dear Annie: I’ve been married eight years, and the entire time there have been problems between my mother and my husband.I’m used to my mother’s rude, disrespectful ways, but my husband is not.To avoid constant criticism and bickering, we limit our contact with her.Mom complained about this, and I politely explained why she sees less of us.Of course, this didn’t help because she sees nothing wrong with her behavior.She said my husband made me say these things and he’s the one keeping us away from her.She refuses to see it’s her own doing.I’ve learned that Mom has cried to the rest of my family about how horrible my husband is, never missing an opportunity to badmouth him.I don’t see the rest of my family very often, and I hate to think they believe my mom.She can be very convincing.My main concern is that she’ll talk that way around my 6-year-old daughter, and I don’t think that would be good.It’s a shame that honest discussion has never helped and avoiding her is what works best.Should I suggest she talk to a therapist, or are some people just naturally unpleasant to be around?— Midwest Mess Dear Midwest: Oh, absolutely, some people are just naturally unpleasant, which doesn’t mean therapy won’t help them, but they are unlikely to recognize the need for it and do the necessary work to make it successful.You could ask your mother to go to therapy with you, together, to work on your problems.Still, it will help to keep in touch with the rest of the family so they can get to know your husband the way you do.And if Mom says one negative thing about your husband to his child, you should remove the girl from her presence and inform Mom that there will be no more visits with her granddaughter unless she can behave.Dear Annie: A very close relative is a kleptomaniac.She has stolen items from us, as well as from others in our family.I have caught her going through drawers and cabinets.It would be very awkward not to have her visit with the rest of the family, even though it upsets us every time she leaves and we find things missing.We would appreciate any suggestions you might have.— Ripped Off Dear Ripped Off: Your relative has a mental health issue and should be evaluated by a professional.In the meantime, you can have family gatherings outside your home — at a restaurant, park, community center, etc.And ifyou insist on entertaining her in your house, lock your cabinets and move your valuables into your bedroom and lock the door.We hope that helps.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.• Happy 80th Birthday Best wishes to Raymond Waterhouse who will be celebrating his 80th Birthday on September 6,
