Kidney Foundation Walk Page 5 75 CENTS + TAXES SPA brings down puppy mill PHOTO COURTESY SPA Record Staff On Friday, the SPA Estrie and the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food (MAPAQ), with help from the International Humane Society and the Sûreté du Québec, seized 12 cats and 220 dogs, including several pregnant females, from a large scale ‘puppy mill’ situated in the region of Bonsecours.All these animals were housed in a barn.“We sent ten of our staff, namely inspectors, patrol workers, veterinarians, as well as animal health technicians,” said SPA Estrie Communications Director Cathy Bergeron.“This intervention was conducted after a routine visit effected by our inspectors and is primarily due to reasons of general negligence and non-compliance with standards of care provided for in the regulations re specting the safety and well- being of cats and dogs.” The worst-off animals were immediately examined by veterinarians and animal health technicians.Due to the large number of rescued animals, dogs were immediately transported to the emergency MAPAQ shelter, while cats were directed to the SPA de l'Estrie.“No matter where these animals are kept, they will all be examined by a team of veterinarians and receive the attention which their state of health requires,” Bergeron says.“We plan to place these animals in new families eventually, by the time they get back on their feet and legal procedures are completed.” People interested in adopting can leave their name, phone number and email address to the SPA de l’Estrie at 819 821-4727, ext 129.THE RECORD Atkins and Bessette shine at XTRAIL The voice of the Eastern Townships si 'o O 1 Page 10 PM#0040007682 /nday.May 26, 2014 ‘Groundbreaking news' The Sunshine House in Potton is under construction MABLE HASTINGS MW te*- i'Mi »c.Pierre Reid, MP-Orford and Allison Leonard who is one of the future residents of the Sunshine House.By Mable Hastings Record Correspondent On Friday, May 23, the official launch ceremony in celebration of the Sunshine House located in Mansonville (Potton) was held as invited guests, board members, families and friends gathered at the site.Master of Ceremonies, Christine Meunier (Community Organizer for the CSSS Memphremagog) welcomed those in attendance and then proceeded to introduce the special guests who came to address the group: Pierre Reid, Member of Parliament-Orford, Louis Veillon, Mayor of Potton, Stanley Lake president of the Sunshine House board of directors, Philippe Siebes, Director General of Le Support - a foundation helping persons with intellectual deficiencies, Jocelyn Jussaume, Director of the CLD (social economy and special projects) and Gaétan Giguere, Board member of the Caisse Desjardins du Lac-Mem-phremagog.“It is with great emotion that we are gathered today to celebrate the construction of the Sunshine House; a housing complex in the township of Potton for persons with intellectual and physical disabilities,” said Potton Mayor, Louis Veillon.“This project has involved the efforts of the last three Municipal Councils and we are happy that it is in the final stages of being built,” he added.“We are very proud of the collaborative effort made in the realization of this project,” said Pierre Reid-Liberal MP Orford.“Thanks to all who contributed, the future residents of the Sunshine House will have a special place in their community where they can remain in the place where they feel most at home and this is a wonderful thing.” Cont’d on page 4 OSSS-**** Music Feet Ayer’s Cliff Fair Grounds May 31 & June 1,2014 www.themusicfest.org Info: 819-823-2009 Come meet our local 2014 wish child!

edition of the Leucan Head Shave Challenge at the Carrefour de 1’Estrie in Sherbrooke, including a team of five from the Eastern Townships School Board.Robbie Hinds, Cathy Watson, Catherine Brunet, Geneviève Brunet and Serge Béliveau, seen in the before and after pictures, all surpassed their fundraising goals to raise a total over $8,400 for team ETSB.The total amount raised by this year's head shave challenge was $162,312.12 It was an emotional day for the participants, all of whom had their own reasons for shaving their heads.The Brunet sisters wanted to pay tribur« to the strength of their older sister, a cancer survivor.“She was diagnosed at 40.She’s 51 now,” they said proudly.Cathy Watson joined the team in memory of a lost loved one.“They haven’t all survived, but having seen them with no hair, and maintaining a positive attitude.That’s what inspired me,” she said.Robbie Hinds had not cut his hair since his daughter Maya had received a cancer diagnosis three years ago.With the ordeal now behind them, the family wanted to contribute to the Leucan Foundation, which had been extremely supportive in their time of need.Robbie’s daughter Maya, and younger daughter Ella, stood

money for the organization.They held a 24 hour hockey tournament, where 20 adult teams and six youth teams played throughout the day and night.They were proud to present their cheque totaling $16,000, raised with the tournament.The day was an emotional one for many.One family took the stage early in the day.When their 9-year-old daughter agreed to part with her extremely long, beautiful hair, there was not a dry eye in the house, according to on-lookers.After a few tears, though, the show of solidarity and the donation of her hair for a wig for someone in need proved a worthy cause.PHOTOS BY

pals at the seniors residence, discussing the students’ perceptions of aging, and debunking stereotypes about older people.For most of the young authors, it is their second book.A previous LES publication tackled the issue of residential schools.The students invited a number of their own grandparents to visit their class to talk about the misconceptions people have about older people.During Thursday’s book launch, the students performed skits about aging, as well as a video presentation of interviews with grandparents, which took place in the classroom throughout the year.Following the

Lennoxville and the village of North Hat- ley; - The portion of the du Sommet axis between the base de plein-air André Nadeau and Ch.Sainte-Catherine.This area was supposed to be inaccessible until

tj»»****-": « :*s j T.; I The entire group gathered for the ceremony in celebration of the new "Sunshine House" in Mansonville.Cont’d from page 1 The Sunshine House Mansonville is a non-profit organization that is responsible for creating a permanent residence for four intellectually/physically disabled adult community members from Potton, assuring them a stable living environment, respect and quality of life.The project has been overseen by a board of directors made up of the following members: Nancy Poirier (who replaced Micheline Cardinal), Almut Ellinghaus, Colin Field, Lucette Field, Kenneth Jersey, Stanley Lake, Wanda Leonard and Ellen Riker.This project reflects a movement all over Quebec, in which families are creating proactive solutions for the future of their children with physical and intellectual challenges.At Sunshine House the residents be assured a stable, supervised living environment in which they will be able to remain for as long as the environment suits their needs.They will thus be able to remain in the community.The SHQ(Societe d’habitation du Quebec), a government agency that supports public and social housing projects, has given Sunshine House its fundamental support.The project has received grants from the township of Potton, Le Support, the Centre Local de Développement of the MRC Memphremagog as well as the Caisse Desjardins du Lac Memphremagog- “The response from the community has been overwhelming: Complete strangers have sent us cheques and notes wishing us the well,” said Stanley Lake, President of the Sunshine House Board of Directors and parent of one of the future occupants of the Sunshine House.“The objective is to have the house com- pleted this summer and the progress on the construction site thus far is amaz-mg.The first four residents are the adult children and/or sibling of the families who have been working on this project for over seven years.The project will provide a long-term residence into the future and will be able to help new clients from the municipality and surrounding communities as space becomes available.“This project reflects the desire of families in our community actively working to provide the best living environment and quality of life for their children," explained Lake.It is important to note that all the tenants of the Sunshine House are eligible to benefit from a rental supplement program that enables them to pay rent that corresponds to 25 per cent of their revenue.This additional financial assistance of some $86,000 over five years will be 90 per cent assumed by the SHQ and 10 per cent by the municipality.Stanley Lake noted the contribution and determination of all of the parents who have devoted their efforts to this project.He also thanked the community and the numerous individuals, businesses and groups who helped in a variety of ways.This is truly a community project and one that all of Potton should be proud of.Sunshine House is now actively looking for a live-in caregiver starting in September.With a decent salary and a separate two bedroom apartment upstairs, the caregiver is expected to live with the clients, help and direct them in their personal and household activities.Read all about it -Two decades of headlines compiled into 2 books The Record has scanned and digitized original copies of the front pages of our

Foundation president and transplant recipient Josée Parenteau, and Quebec Kidney Foundation treasurer Guy Langevin, and friends in the fight against kidney disease.Record Staff Sherbrooke Up to 110 walkers gathered Sunday morning at Sherbrooke’s Blanchard Park to Walk for the Kidney Foundation to fundraise in support of those with kidney disease and the promotion of organ donation.In the Estrie region, the Walk raised $8,285, well above the target goal of $7,000.The event was held simultaneously in 15 cities across Quebec bringing together more than 2,400 walkers to raise a total of $360,000 for research and the improvement of living conditions for people with kidney disease.Maurice Bernier, Prefect of the MRC du Granit joined this year’s Walk with his family.“I am currently going through a difficult period and I am being closely followed by the formidable team at the Prévoir clinic and the CHUS nephrology centre,” he confided.“While I am on dialysis, advanced research allows me to hope for a type of home dialysis -peritoneal dialysis.I can make the most of life despite the disease.It therefore seems quite natural to be here today to raise awareness of kidney disease and to support research.” Since its inception, The Kidney Foundation of Canada has allocated over $110 million for research into kidney disease and has enabled thousands of Quebecers to see their quality of life improve significantly.“Since 1964, the involvement of thousands of volunteers has enabled the Foundation to develop a number of programs in the areas of shortterm financial assistance, scholarships, the preparation of scientific information documents about kidney disease, the specialized managerial training in the field of kidney research, the creation of a summer camp for children on dialysis, and a website on nutrition for renal insufficiency” said Guy Langevin, secretary of the Quebec division of the Foundation.“We need financial support from the community to continue our outreach activities and to contribute to the advancement of research on kidney health,” said Josée Parenteau, President of the Estrie section of the Foundation.“The CHUS Nephrology Centre is the only place outside of Montreal and Quebec City where renal transplantation is done.We are fortunate to have researchers, doctors and committed professionals who have the health of their patients at heart but also their living conditions and quality of life.We must ensure that optimal conditions are met to continue their work and it is mostly through research that we contribute most.” As of December 31, 2013,1,047 people in Quebec were on the waiting list for an organ transplant, of which 78 per cent were awaiting a kidney.In some cases, the waiting period can be more than three years.A living donation is also a source of hope for many patients.“Giving an organ to a person I love and allowing him a new life is the most beautiful experience of my life,” said Monika Robert, who donated a kidney to her uncle by marriage in July of last year.Major haul from Lawrenceville bust Sherbrooke Last Wednesday’s raid in Lawrenceville in the Val-St-François by the Eastern Townships Regional Investigations led to the arrest of eight people and the seizure of a large quantity of drugs.Police seized about 4,400 cannabis plants in various stages of production, over 12 kg of cannabis in bulk, a large portion of which was trimmed and ready for sale, and about four pounds of hashish.Over $8,000 in cash was also seized.Frédérick Larose, 32, James Hardy, 64, Pierre Dupuis, 66, Martine Archambault, 53, and Stéphane April, 37, were charged in Granby Wednesday.Three women, were also arrested, but were released on promises to appear.The sophisticated grow-up was supplied with power by a diversion of electricity and the greenhouses had to be dismantled with the help of electricians, Hydro -Québec investigators, and a refrigeration technician to conduct the operation safely.The equipment used in the production of cannabis plants was also seized by police.The investigation is continuing and police will not rule out further arrests.La Pommeraie signs ‘social contract’ for seniors Record Staff The CSSS La Pommeraie and its users committee have announced the signing of a social contract for the elderly.Inspired by an initiative of the Quebec Golden-Age Federation (FADOQ), the CSSS has signed up for a Quebec-wide community mobilization effort.“The signing of this social contract for the elderly follows our strategic vision that includes the community as a key partner in our actions,” said La Pommeraie Chair Michel Lafrance.These principles challenge the users committee and its responsibilities in relation to the collective movement.The committee is responsible for: - Informing users and their parents about their rights and obligations; - Promoting the improvement of users’ quality of life; - Assessing the degree of user satisfaction; - Defending the rights and interests of users; - Advocating for the needs and expectations of users with management.The committee is able to perform its functions through its close collaboration with organizations, CSSS volunteers, and members of the community in keeping with its mission.Beginning this fall a training tour will be undertaken by the committee in collaboration with the CSSS La Pommeraie.A team consisting of a volunteer from the Quebec Coalition of users committees (RPCU and a CSSS worker will move into the community to meet with volunteers and those frequently in contact with seniors, such as municipal employees hairdressers, Meals on Wheels volunteers and adapted transport drivers.The team will train citizens and provide knowledge on two fundamental aspects: 1 The ability to detect cases of abuse and lead seniors to the appropriate resources; 2 A knowledge of the services available for seniors from both community organizations and municipalities, and the CSSS.“Through this social contract, we are committed to have a positive influence on all public policies and services offered on our territory,” said users committee chair Pauline Mercier.Career ÇJBCS

I * _ Gender, confidence and competence Tom Cavanagh I have written about gender before and will again especially given the ongoing feminist studies on the subject; Anne Marie Slaughter with “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All,” Sheryl Sandberg and “Lean In: Women Work and the Will to Lead,” and more recently Katty Kay and Clare Shipman with “The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance,” I find feminist writing generally tantalizing and more particularly where insights, allusions, comparisons, and commentaries touch on males.Like me.Furthermore, changes in women's roles and status are important and deserve high ranking on our agendas.In my own case with a wife, three daughters and four grand daughters it is quite significant.Of course I don’t write off males.We too are a serious and relevant part of the story.My comments are mostly based on the work of the authors, Kay and Ship-man in “The Confidence Code." But 1 begin with a quote from Anne Marie Slaughter.One can get off track about what it means to have it all.Slaughter agrees we have to be careful, but her career could serve as a definition.Huge salary; prestige; important work; respect; challenges; recognition; happy family; - and an overwhelming never ending schedule.Finally she simply walked away.This is how she explains: “Deep down 1 wanted to go home.I wanted to spend time with my children in the last few years they are likely to live at home, crucial years for their development into responsible, happy, and caring adults.irreplaceable years for me.” I agree totally.Many do not.‘The Confidence Code” authors address the topic from a different perspective than Slaughter’s.They ask how women get those good jobs in the first place?Tlte prestige, salary, and benefits are great, but why are so few females walking the corridors of power?Wiry is it so much harder for women to get aboard that ‘gravy train’?I acknowledge women’s recent progress.But there is not enough, and the questions remain.Kay and Shipman offer answers and there are many factors at play.The writers emphasize the issue of women’s confidence - and the lack thereof.In fact they see failing confidence as crucial.They have done their homework and make a convincing case.There is ample evidence and the thoughtful reader will find it convincing.In fact I found myself on the verge of quoting Shakespeare’s famous line: “Aye, there’s the rub.” Confidence! Initially I was not so positive.Is it solely lack of confidence that stifles careers and holds women back?Seemed unlikely.Many men also lack confidence.I’m one.But there are differences.With women it is a wider issue with far more detrimental results.And this is not a matter of opinion.The research covers years and involves thousands of participants male and female.I can hold an opposite opinion if I wish.But that’s all it is - an opinion.(I think I’m quoting from a Dirty Harry movie here, but no matter, it’s true.) Get your facts together.Perfectionism is harmful for many women and is tied in with confidence.They say there is no such thing as a happy perfectionist.Amen to that.I am a born perfectionist so 1 know of what I speak.Indeed I have a certain neighbourhood notoriety based on my fixation with clipping the long hedge in front of our house.It’s obsessive and senseless, but that’s the way it is with perfectionists.Things get out of hand.With writing things get worse.It’s finicky and potentially endless.Change a word here, an adjective there, delete a sentence, move a paragraph, revise, alter, find a better metaphor.Computers are a curse.They make it easier to Tf RECORD 1195 Gall Last.Sherbrooke.Quebec J IG 1Y7 Fax:819-821-3179 i~m.au : newsroom e sherbrookerecord.com WiiBsrn : www.sherbrookerecord.com Sharon McCuiiy Puiu.ishlk Daniel Coulomiu: Ni v, 1 mi ok Sn-miiN Blake Gorki mv liiirrok Serge Gagnon Chili Pklssman (819) 569-9511 .1819) 569-6345 .'819) 569-6345 (819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS Accounting .Advertising Circulation .Newsroom .(819) 569-9511 (819) 569-9525 (819) 569-9528 (819) 569-6345 Knowlton office 5B Victoria Street, Knowlton, Quebec, JOE 1V0 Tee: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GS T ES I T O T A I Qli* Id I Ak 135.60 6.78 13 VI $155.91 (¦ v.oMli' "1.19 :.5o 7.10 S 8 1.8 5 3 months • 36.16 1.81 3.60 S 4 1.5 7 ON-I INF SUBSCRIPTIONS 0 lid 1 '•LA!

food that’s sprouted, and not cooked.The extravagant poutine comes with confit of duck, goat cheese, pepper sauce, pearl onions, mushrooms and cognac And no, it’s not gluten free or any of those other healthy stuff.It’s poutine, after all.The filet mignon, on the other hand, has two little healthy icons - gluten-free and no milk products.It’s marinated Grade AAA beef, with grated blue cheese, fried onions, five-pepper sauce, potatoes and vegetables.These, plus some 60 other dishes are all on one extravagant menu.Not counting an array of desserts, coffees, smoothies, cold drinks and alcohol.This heavenly menu, where decadence and wholesomeness lie cheek by jowl, is at Le Cartier in Sherbrooke.Veronica Kaczmarowski has been the genius behind the menu of Le Cartier for almost a year now, and you can taste the difference.She’s given the iconic restaurant in Sherbrooke a new incarnation.It still has its unique ambiance, there on the western edge of the Jacques-Cartier Park.Its varied rooms and terrasses are sunny and gracious - café, bistro, pub, or private dining, as you like it.And the people who work there seem happy.You feel welcome.It’s a new generation of fine food that celebrates diversity.“We get a lot of office parties,” she said.“If just one person is vegetarian or gluten free, everybody can come here and get the kind of food they want.” Veronica is Le Cartier’s new co-owner, along with François Masson.Any way you slice it, it’s an ideal partnership.His background is as a barman, hers is as a chef.They’re an innovative team.But the real marriage, says their menu, is between “saveur et santé, beauté et bien-être.” That’s flavour and health* beauty and well-being.It has a nicer ring in French, but it tastes just as good in English, especially in a lively Australian accent.Veronica is from down under.She specialized in international cuisine when she trained as a chef.She began working in vegetarian restau- rants, and started one of her own in Brisbane, Australia.Then she worked in England - a large hotel in Surray and a small French restaurant.She came to Quebec 18 years ago, and studied languages at Laval University and had children.She had a son who was ill with allergies and intolerances.Looking for causes and cures led her to get a diploma in Applied Nutrition from the American Academy of Nutrition, and another in naturopathy with the Institut international de Naturopathie in Montreal.She also studied health kinesiology.Her burning question was the interaction between food and allergies and intolerances.“Food really plays a major role in all of this,” she said.“Environment, too.But food is a major factor, so I thought I’d work on what I can work on.” For the past decade and a half, Veronica’s been leading community kitchens, catering, and giving workshops and courses all over the Eastern Townships and in Montreal.Many were at Sherbrooke’s natural food store La Grande Ruche.She specializes in Dr.Jean Seignalet’s anti-inflammatory protocol.He’s a researcher in France who has developed a diet that avoids gluten and dairy products.It calls for cooking food at less than 110 degrees Celsius.That conserves nutrition and aids digestion, say reports on his work.The diet is also called ancestral or hypotoxic.It’s become popular in the last few years, but Veronica was there way ahead of the pack.She also coaches people with allergies.“I work with them to eliminate certain foods, and we’d get amazing results,” she said.And she caters for people with special dietary needs.“I specialize in food that’s gluten free, non-dairy, and without major allergens,” she said.“But I really specialize in having wonderful food where people would not have any drop in flavour or look.” All that is deftly spelled out on her website, www.artdelanutrition.com.But back to Le Cartier.What Veronica doesn't need to say is that everything on the menu is made with quality ingredients.You can taste it.It’s simply delicious.That's the only thing I’ve ever heard her clients say, and that’s been my experience on the five or ten occasions I’ve tasted her handiwork.“We’ve actually seen a real increase in raw food,” she said.“It's now the third best-selling category on our menu,” she said.The second big-selling category is the lunch-time menu, a list of eight interesting specials with soup or salad, dessert and coffee.The best-seller is Le Cartier’s burgers.“We do burgers with no fillers,” she said.“Just fresh herbs or some spices, no fillers, nothing else.So it’s really just good quality ground meat.” Veronica is setting her sights on more than just a restaurant.“I really have a goal of a lifestyle education centre,” she said.“We have beautiful rooms here.I’d love to have Tai Chi, running in the park, lectures on food and the impact it has on your long-term health.” “It’s really time the food industry caught up to what we know now about the impact that food has on our health,” she said.“I think people want something better.” And she’s doing her part.“It’s a real passion, and we really believe in it.We love making food that people really love.” Le Cartier is a gem for adventurous palettes and comfort-food palettes alike.And don’t be afraid.Living food does not wiggle on the plate.You’ll probably love fit.•iT* Restaurant Le Cartier Pub Saint-Malo is at 255 Jacques-Cartier South.Its parking lot is beside the restaurant.Phone 819-821-3311 for reservations.It’s open 11 a.m.to about 2 a.m.on weekdays, and 9 a.m.to about 3 a.m.on weekends, but the full menu closes at 10 p.m.t # ?

That’s what I wrote in The Record last December, soon after the power came back on.When spring finally came, our place still looked as if it was bombed.Broken branches littered the lawn.Several tree trunks were almost completely stripped bare.Yes, we had muscled the birch branches off the driveway.But our little electric chainsaw was just no match for the scale of the ice storm aftermath.And then came the friends.A whole crew of nine people with four chainsaws.They came on a Friday afternoon and they worked really hard.They gathered up a mountain of broken branches and DEBRA POUGÈRE Jackie Hyman and Rachel Garber, kneedeep in the aftermath of the icestorm.They're amid what was once an apple tree.i S’ Is*»*» «s* 1 enhancing minds ail across town.II m c V (0 t Km THE mi RECORD The more you read, the more you’ll know.Keep up to date with RECORD Subscribe today for our print or online paper! 819-569-9528 billing@sherbrookerecord.com carted them away.They raked.They sawed and stacked two cords of fire wood.Then we had supper together.It all happened in good old Mennonite barnraising style, except the scale was a bit smaller.Thank goodness! My Mennonite Community Cookbook recommends the following food for a barn raising: 115 lemon pies, 500 fat cakes (doughnuts), and 15 large cakes; Three gallons each of applesauce, rice pudding, and cornstarch pudding; 16 chickens, three hams, and 50 pounds of roast beef.And then on to gargantuan measures of breads, pickles, and potatoes.That would be enough food for 175 men, the book says.Our own nine angels of mercy were content with a slightly more modest supper of chili and rice and trimmings.So this is a note of sincere thanks to Debra, Rémi, Robert, Lyne, Denis, Judy, Jackie, Ken and Rachelle.May that mountain of branches behind the workshop shelter many wild friends, and enrich the soil as it rots into the earth.What better ice storm after-math could there be?Ra.writes@gmail.com EMAIL YOUR CLASSIFIED TO US!

packaged products are cheaper.Consumer Reports saw russet baking potatoes for $1.29 per pound sold individually but $2.99 for a 5-pound sack.— Capitalize on coupons.In 2013, consumers saved $3.5 billion by using coupons for packaged goods.Manufacturers distributed more than 300 billion coupons that year but redeemed “only” 2.8 billion, according to Charles K.Brown, vice president of marketing for NCH Marketing $ervices, a coupon processing firm.Don’t leave money on the table: Savings per purchase averaged $1.62, Brown says.For all the chatter about paperless coupons that are downloaded to smartphones, 91 percent of all coupons reached shoppers through newspaper inserts.— Shop early in the sales cycleTleven percent of readers complained about stores being out of advertised specials.The problem was worst at Pick ‘n Save, Pathmark, Meijer and Tops.Consumer Reports has had the best luck finding the type of bargains prominent in circulars at the beginning of the cycle (usually Friday or Saturday).— Be loyal.Many chains reserve their best deals for customers who enroll in loyalty- or bonus-card programs.And some have a fuel reward component; the typical discount is 10 cents a gallon at participating gas stations for each $50 spent at the store.Other possible perks: rebates based on purchases (usually $5 for every $500), coupon doubling and buy-one-get-one-free specials, coupons toward future purchases and the ability for those 60 and older to get extra savings on certain days.More than half of Consumer Reports' survey respondents belonged to bonus-card programs, and 84 percent were satisfied with the savings.WETLANDS ARE DISAPPEARING Protect them.Become a member today.www.ducks.ca 1-Q£ZÆ_*aP>l_r*M ir^K Ducks Unlimited Canada ¦ m.CANADA'S CONSERVATION COMPANY RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES BIRTH NOTICES.CAROS OF THANKS.IN MEMORIAMS.BRIEFLETS: Text only 40Ç 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: clas-sad@sherbrookerecord.com - They will not be taken by phone.DEADLINES FOR DEATH NOTICES: For Monday's paper, call 819-569-4856 between 1 p.m.and 5 p.m.Sunday.For Tuesday, Wednesday.Thursday or Friday's edition, call 819-569-4856 or fax 819-569-1187 (please call to confirm transmission) ore-mail: production@sherbrookerecord.com 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. Page 12 Monday, May 26, 2014 nevvsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record They had left Seattle and moved to Florida without a word of goodbye MONDAY, MAY 26, 2014 Dear Readers: Many of you will be enjoying your Memorial Day weekend with barbecues and picnics, but we hope you will also remember the purpose behind the observance: a day to remember those servicemen and women who died serving their country.Please consider taking the time to visit a veterans hospital or military cemetery and pay your respects.And if you have a flag, it is appropriate to display it at half-staff until noon.“Last Monday in May” by John T.Bird of Birmingham, Ala.We pause to remember those who died with so much courage so much pride.They’ll never come back but memories endure to remind us of freedom: fragile, pure.We Ye worthy of their sacrifice if we pause each day not just on the last Monday in May.Dear Annie: About five or six years ago, you printed a column about why we hand out poppies on Memorial Day.It had something to do with a poem from the first World War.At the time, I wasn’t that interested (sorry), but now that I have grandchildren old enough to understand history, I want them to have this information.Would you reprint it?— Not a History Teacher in Texas Dear Not: Happy to do it.This poem is quite famous and used to be well known in the classroom, but we don’t know whether it is still being taught as often as Annie’s Mailbox it once was.if not, we think it deserves to be resuscitated.“In Flanders Field” was written in 1915 by Lt.Col.John McCrae, M.D., a Canadian who served as a surgeon in the Great War.He wrote it after witnessing the death of a friend at Ypres, Belgium.McCrae died in France in 1918, at the age of 46, from pneumonia, an all-too-common battlefield ailment.“In Flanders Fields” In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.We are the dead.Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow.Inspired by McCrae’s poem, an American woman, Moina Michael, wore poppies to honor the war dead.She also began selling poppies to raise money for the disabled veterans of the Great War.This idea spread to France and England and then to Canada and the ITS, where it is still a tradition on Memorial Day.Dear Annie: For the past 30 years, my wife and I SUDOKU SUDOKU Difficulty: 4 (of 5) 5-23-14 ©2014 JFS/KF Diet, by Universal Uclick for UFS 5-24-14 ©2014 JFS/KF Diet, by Universal Uclick for UFS HOW TO PLAY: Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.PREVIOUS SOLUTION 4 5 1 2 3 8 6 9 7 3 7 9 6 4 5 1 8 2 6 8 2 7 1 9 5 3 4 5 1 3 9 2 6 4 7 8 3 2 7 3 5 4 9 1 6 9 4 6 8 7 1 3 2 5 2 9 8 5 6 3 7 4 1 1 3 5 4 8 7 2 6 9 7 6 4 1 9 2 8 5 3 HOW TO PLAY: Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.PREVIOUS SOLUTION 1 2 1 8 7 6 4 3 9 5 6 7 3 9 5 1 2 8 4 5 9 4 2 3 8 1 7 6 1 4 7 8 2 5 6 3 9 8 6 2 3 9 7 4 5 1 3 5 9 4 1 6 7 2 8 4 2 1 5 7 9 8 6 3 9 3 6 1 8 2 5 4 7 7 8 5 6 4 3 9 1 2 have enjoyed a friendship with another couple who are childless.They had no family nearby, so they were fixtures at our table for all of the major holidays.We genuinely liked their company.We vacationed together on several occasions, and we came to treat them like family.We hadn’t heard from them in a while, so I decided to phone.Imagine my shock when they casually mentioned that they had left Seattle and moved to Florida without a word of goodbye.Their coolness on the phone made it clear that they no longer have any interest in being in our lives.I am deeply hurt by their behavior and am at a loss to understand what on Earth we could have done to deserve this callous treatment.I will not attempt to rekindle this relationship, but I still find it distressing and unfathomable.What is your take on this?— Upset in Seattle Dear Seattle: We agree that this behavior is both surprising and unkind, but consider yourself well rid of a couple who obviously did not value the friendship as much as you did.Moving away without informing you means you are not very high up on the list of people they care about.Sorry.Dear Annie: I hope this may be of some help to senior citizens.My brother's wife died last year, and he has been lost ever since.He started calling me to ask what the date is.I came up with the idea of giving him an extra cellphone and charger that I didn't need.I showed him how to plug it in to charge every Sunday night.Now when he can’t remember the date, all he has to do is open the phone.It also helps in case of emergency, because the phone allows him to call 911.He can’t make any other calls on it, but he feels much more secure, and the phone does not need to be activated.— Cadyville Dear Cadyville: Some readers may ask how this is different from a calendar and a landline, but we think it’s a great idea because your brother can take the phone with him wherever he goes.(When calling 911 from a deactivated phone, however, the operator will not be able to determine your location without your giving it.) Dear Annie: I would like to commend “Newbury Park, Calif,” on his success in turning his life around by taking responsibility for his health and making the necessary changes for his weight loss.Having been an operating room nurse since 1979,1 have seen the results of our obesity epidemic.The health problems caused by obesity and smoking are debilitating to the person and extremely sad to see.Kidney disease, vascular insufficiency and cardiac disease are serious health problems that lead to myriad treatments with varying degrees of success.The best thing a person can do for themselves is exactly what Newbury Park and his wife did, which is take responsibility for their own health.I can only imagine how difficult it was for them to lose so much weight and change their eating and exercise habits, but the results speak for themselves.If more people were willing to take charge of their own health and help reverse the large amount of money spent dealing with these preventable diseases, we might help bridge the regrettable divide in our country caused in part by the issue of health care.— RN, CNOR, CRNEA Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

they are right.This week we will look at: Do not finesse against your partner.What is a finesse against partner?It occurs when a defender leads a low card in a suit, promising at least one honor in it, dummy plays low, and third hand does not play his highest card.In this deal, South is in three no-trump.West leads his fourth-highest spade.How should East plan the defense?When you open one or two no-trump, do not worry about unstopped suits.There are not enough words in bridge bidding to permit hands to be described down to the last atom.South will need to drive out the club ace to establish sufficient tricks for his contract.If he also loses at least four spade tricks, he will go down.However, an East who was born and raised on third hand high will put up his spade king at trick one and the contract will cruise home.East needs to realize that if he does play the spade king, South will get two spade tricks.Also, if West’s fourth-high- North .?A .1 5 V 7 4 2 ?7 6 3 2 ?J 9

third spade.West will win the next trick with his club ace and cash two spade tricks to defeat the contract.What if South has the spade queen?It will lose only a tempo for East to withhold his king.Here, finessing against partner is clearly correct.CROSSWORD Across I Bandage often signed by friends 5 Top NFL player II Piercing spot 14 Bjorn Borg’s org.15 Like tall wedding cakes 16 Reason
