because of the rain, but the weather was not enough to deter residents from celebrating the 25th anniversary of Friendship Day in Lennoxville.Some opted for the classic look of the Dollar Store poncho.The under-10 crowd incorporated the puddles into the fun, impervious to the wet and cold thanks to their Hatley rain gear.The parade was smaller than usual this year, but as the weather cleared, the crowds grew, making the rounds to familiar activities like the music and dancing in Centennial Park, the kids’ activities hosted by the Lennoxville youth centre, and the artisan sales and information booths in St.Antoine Elementary School gymnasium.Old friends and new faces rubbed rubbery raincoat elbows through Lennoxville Elementary for a silent auction, others made their way to Amédée-Beaudoin to see the latest works of the Lennoxville art Group.Food was an important part of the day.Some were loyal to Louis’ smoked meat, served at the Curling Club, but the line was long for burgers and hot-dogs grilled by the Lennoxville Volunteer Firefighter’s Association.Anyone with room for dessert headed over to the Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society cake and ice-cream social.In addition to providing entertainment, Saturday’s events were an opportunity for a number of fundraising Cont’d on Page 4 THE—" RECORD SPECIAL OFFER for Record print subscribers: Receive a

Ye Olde Blacksmith Art Gallery, 240A Dufferin St.in Stanstead, will be opening the summer season on Thursday, June 19, with an exhibition of new work by Hatley artist Caroline George, and works on paper by Sebastien Leblanc from Georgeville.In “The Centaurs”, George has used mixed drawing media to portray the image of this mythical creature - half horse, half human - a metaphor for thousands of years in Western art representing a struggle between two opposing forces.A series of large panels, the etheric quality of each textured piece reflects a time gone by.Born in Montreal, Leblanc has been exploring various creative outlets from an early age and is currently completing a diploma in welding.This most recent body of work was inspired by the necker cube, an optical illusion originating from crystallography where the shape can be perceived as a cube represented in either of two possible orientations.The ambiguous line drawing was then used in philosophy as a counter argument to naive realism (things are not necessarily as perceived by the senses).The exhibition runs from June 19 -July 6 with a vernissage on Friday, June 20 from 5 - 7 pm.All are welcome! Gallery hours are Thursday to Sunday, 11 a.m.- 6 p.m., and our summer season runs until September 7.If anyone would like to be on the mailing list to receive notices of gallery events, please call 819-876-2282.Source: Ye Olde Blacksmith Gallery V W T v !

According to Deshaies, the group arrived at the at the Station Depot bus station slightly before the bus driver on Wednesday night.When the driver arrived, he stopped the group at the door of the vehicle, asking if Costanzo’s dog was a MIRA seeing eye dog.“We told him that Patsy was not a MIRA dog but a certified psychiatric service dog,” De- shaies recalled, “The driver looked puzzled and confessed he never heard of a psychiatric service dog.He told us as far as he knew only MIRA seeing-eye dogs were allowed on the bus.” Despite the fact that another passenger on the bus, a student who works at the Bishop’s library, stood up to vouch for Patsy’s legitimacy at that point, the driver called in his supervisor.In Deshaies’ estimation, the official showed up within two minutes.“He refused to give me his name or the bus driver’s name at the time of the encounter," Deshaies said, explain i,g that the supervisor remained in his car the entire time.“He asked if Patsy was a MIRA seeing eye dog.To which I answered no (.) he answered that they only accept MIRA dogs.” Deshaies says he pointed out the fact that service dogs are specifically trained and certified for this and should have the same rights of access to public transport as any person with a disability.STS bylaws established in 2004 grant exactly that.Section IV, subsection 8a of rule R-006 states that animals are only permitted on STS vehicles if they are guard dogs or service dogs.City Councillor David Price, who sits on the board of the STS, explained that the issue is a matter of proper identification.“Anybody having a dog like that has a card from an organization that gave them the dog, even if the dog is in training.There are several recognized organizations that produce these cards,” Price explained, after having consulted with those involved in the situation at the bus company.“These students didn’t have a card, they couldn’t produce anything.” The three involved maintain that they were never asked to produce Patsy’s certification, but Costanzo admitted that she did not have the dog’s papers on her that evening.She asserted, however, that just the dog’s specialized and highly visible harness should be enough,and always has been in the past.“I have never had a problem on STS before, and I have been riding the bus with my service dog for a year,” Costanzo explained.“Before he was certified, I rode with him as a service dog in training, which is protected under (the STS’s) own policy and the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.” According to Deshaies, the concern on the part of the supervisor was of fraud.The STS employee told him that drivers have had issues with people trying to pass off untrained dogs as guide dogs using fake bandanas.Costanzo, however, pointed out that the harness that her dog wears can’t just be purchased anywhere.She theorized that because Patsy does not look like the traditional image of a service dog, the STS employees simply assumed she was faking.“Patsy is a shepherd collie spaniel mix, is approximately 35 pounds, and knee height,” She said, “(Labradors) are often chosen as service dogs because their temperment

train, but there are also lots of retrievers, shepherds, burmese mountain dogs, and even pit bulls in the U.S.who are trained as service dogs (.) it ultimately depends on the temperment of the dog in question.Some breeds are more likely to have that temperment, and that's why they are chosen more, but Patsy passed all his tests and certification with flying colours.” While being refused from the bus forms the basis of the students’ complaint, all three also expressed frustration and disappointment with the way they were treated, saying that the supervisor was rude and seemed disinterested in helping.Deshaies emphasized the re- fusal of the STS employees to reveal their names and pointed out that the only place they were directed to voice their concerns was the phone number that is publicly available on the bus company’s website.“We ended up being lucky enough to get in contact with someone we know who lives in Fleurimont who was able to come and get us,” Rutberg said.“Otherwise we would have had to wait for the next bus (over an hour of waiting) and hope the next bus driver was different.” The Bishop’s alumna pointed out that while Costanzo is moving away to pursue graduate studies, there are currently several other students at Bishop’s who have service dogs whose rights need to be preserved and respected.Since making the complaint on Thursday morning, the students say that they have received affirmation from the STS that psychiatric service dogs are allowed on the city’s busses, provided that certification can be show proving that they are legitimate, trained, service animals.France Croteau of the Regroupement des utilizateurs du transport adapté de Sherbrooke Métropolitain, a group advocating for the rights of those requiring adapted transport in the greater Sherbrooke area, said that she has never heard of service dog access being an issue in the city before.“It’s not permitted in any public space to deny a service dog access,” Croteau said, “the driver probably didn’t know, because the he STS knows that the laws need to be upheld.” Pedestrian, bike accidents up in region Gas leak in Lennoxville Record Staff Sherbrooke The Eastern Townships was the only region in Quebec to see an increase in road accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians last year, according to the latest road safety report by the SAAQ the Quebec automobile insurance corporation.In 2013, 83 pedestrians were involved in road accidents, up from 74 in 2012.Four people died as a result of these incidents.Bicycle accidents went from 51 to 56 over the same period.The report was issued during Highway Safety Week.As reported in The Record on Friday, the Sherbrooke police department organized an outreach program last week to encourage pedestrians to adopt safe practices with regard to buses.“We want to make them aware that the blind spots are not the same as for cars.For buses, they are much larger, hence the importance of making eye contact before crossing to be sure you’re seen.Just because we can see the driver doesn’t mean that he can see us,” says SAAQ safety consultant Marie-Eve Laforest.Pedestrians are also being reminded that crossing streets illegally (“jaywalking”) is subject to a $40 fine.Last week, a 31-year-old mother of three was struck and killed by a semi-trailer on the corner of King and Saint-François, renewing concerns over cycling and pedestrian safety within the city.“It seems to have had an impact in the minds of people to see that, yes, accidents with heavy vehicles do happen,” Laforest says.While last week’s fatal accident has spurred calls for increased safety at crosswalks and more bike paths, the campaign is aimed to remind pedestrians and cyclists that they have an important role to play in their own safety through their behaviour.Record Staff A gas leak closed sections of Speid, Church, and Hunting streets in Lennoxville Saturday, just after the borough’s annual Friendship Day.According to authorities,

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, June 16, 2u Page 5 Sutton council expediting town hall renovation MATTHEW MCCULLY • ¦ i nn "! Æ I Sutton town council held a special meeting on Thursday evening to make a notice of motion for a borrowing by-law for major renovations to the town hall.A second special meeting will take place Monday at 7:30 p.m.to present the motion.By Matthew McCully Special to The Record Sutton A special meeting of the municipal council of Sutton was held last Thursday, June 12, where main item on the agenda was the notice of motion for a borrowing bylaw in the amount of S3,950,000 for the renovation of the town hall.Another special meeting of the council is scheduled to take place tonight at 7:30 p.m.to present the borrowing by-law.The renovation, a point of contention with the previous council, is back on the table despite campaign promises made by newly-elected Mayor Louis Dandenault to maintain the building as an administrative centre and stagger repairs as needed.Councillors Serge Poirier and Kenneth Hall were absent from the meeting, which roughly 50 residents attended.The first item on the agenda was the modification of Pleasant Street, previously one-way, which will be returned to a two- way street.Councillor Veerle Beljaars explained that signage will indicate that the area is a residential zone, no heavy trucks will be permitted on the street, and the speed maximum will be 30 km/h.Beljaars said that once the street becomes two-way, if residents complain that there is too much traffic, a counter will be put on the street to survey circulation.A notice of motion for a borrowing by-law for $978,000 for paving work on Dyer Road, Woodard Road and the parking lot at Veteran’s Park was stricken from the agenda at the beginning of the meeting.Some residents questioned if the work mentioned in the bylaw would be carried out eventually.Mayor Dandenault said that the motion was stricken after discussions with council earlier in the day, in favour of other projects.Councillor Winston Bresee said he was optimistic that the work, agreed to be a necessity, would eventually be done.The notice of motion for the $3.95 million for renovations to the town hall bylaw was adopted.During question period a number of concerns were raised.The proposed renovation is being planned under the assumption that the town will qualify for a 65 per cent subsidy for the project.One resident pointed out the criteria for the subsidy require that the building in question have issues of structural integrity, and pose health and safety hazards, and asked whether the town hall would qualify.Bresee and Mayor Dandenault referred to studies presented by the previous council.“Those were all discounted by you to get yourselves elected,” said another resident.Dandenault stood firm in his position, stating that the town hall renovation, an issue that has been ongoing in Sutton since the 1990s, is a necessity, and will benefit the community as a whole when completed.Because it was a special council meeting, and only topics up for discussion were those on the agenda, when the meeting came to a close Dandenault said the council would be willing to discuss other topics with the citizens informally.An issue of great concern to a number of citizens was the addition of Hydro Quebec smart meters on homes in Sutton.One resident alleged that the smart meters pose health risk, due to electro-magnetic radiation, and invited the town to join a class action suit to bar the meters from being used allowed in the municipality.The conversation evolved into a debate as to whether it is part of the town’s mandate to involve itself in individuals’ decisions.The Record would like to take this opportunity to ask readers to share their views, between now and June 30, on their daily newspaper to ensure this 117-year-old paper continues to respond to the needs of the community.At the close of the survey.The Record will randomly select the names of three respondents who will win a copy of The Record history books 1911-1920 and 1921-1930.Where do you live?How do

involved in a series of preventive measures initiated following an observed irregularity in the handling of a surgical instrument used during arthroscopic knee and shoulder procedures.The measure affects 98 patients at the hospital between June 2013 andJanuary 2014.There have been errors in the handling of a trocar during the cleaning, brushing, and sterilization process.“The problem didn’t affect the sterilization itself, but the dismantling of the instrument,” insists CSSS La Pommeraie Director Bruno Pétrucci.Faced with a difficult situation, the hospital has undertaken to reach all the affected patients and offer them a blood test.A team has also been es tablished, with the participation of a microbiologist and infectious disease specialist from the hospital and the collaboration of the National Institute of Public Health, to address risks inherent in this mishandling.“The risks are clinically very low, but there is always a risk, which is why we are being proactive,” Pétrucci says.The hospital says the special measures, blood sampling, and reporting of results should be completed by the end of the month.Welfare fraud earns free accommodation Record

Page 6 Monday, June 16, 2014 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record DITORIAL We need to do more than just get off fossil fuels, although that’s a priority.We need to'conserve, cut hack and switch to cleaner energy sources.Yes, pipeline spills are good for the economy By David Suzuki Energy giant Kinder Morgan was recently called insensitive for pointing out that “Pipeline spills can have both positive and negative effects on local and regional economies, both in the short- and long-term.” Tire company wants to triple its shipping capacity from the Alberta tar sands to Burnaby, B.C., in part by twinning its current pipeline.Its National Energy Board submission states, “Spill response and cleanup creates business and employment opportunities for affected communities, regions, and cleanup service providers.” It may seem insensitive, but it’s true.And that’s the problem.Destroying the environment is bad for the planet and all the life it supports, including us.But it’s often good for business.The 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico added billions to the U.S.gross domestic product! Even if a spill never occurred (a big “if,” considering the records of Kinder Morgan and other pipeline companies), increasing capacity from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels a day would go hand-in-hand with rapid tar sands expansion and more wasteful, destructive burning of fossil fuels — as would approval of En-bridge Northern Gateway and other pipeline projects, as well as increased oil shipments by rail.The company will make money, the government will reap some tax and royalty benefits and a relatively small number of jobs will be created.But the massive costs of dealing with a pipeline or tanker spill and the resulting climate change consequences will far outweigh the benefits.Of course, under our current economic paradigm, even the costs of responding to global warming impacts show as positive growth in the GDP — the tool we use to measure what passes for progress in this strange worldview.And so it’s full speed ahead and damn the consequences.Everything is measured in money.B.C.’s economy seems sluggish?Well, obviously, the solution is to get fracking and sell the gas to Asian markets.Never mind that a recent study, commissioned by the Canadian government, concludes we don’t know enough about the practice to say it’s safe, the federal government has virtually no regulations surrounding it and provincial rules “are not based on strong science and remain untested.” Never mind that the more infrastructure we build for polluting, climate-disrupting fossil fuels, the longer it will take us to move away from them.There’s easy money to be had — for someone.We need to do more than just get off fossil fuels, although that’s a priority.We need to conserve, cut back and switch to cleaner energy sources.In Canada, we need a national energy strategy.And guess what?That will create lasting jobs! But we must also find better ways to run our societies than relying on rampant consumption, planned obsolescence, excessive and often-pointless work and an economic system that depends on damaging ways and an absurd measurement to convince us it somehow all amounts to progress.It’s not about going back to the Dark Ages.It’s about realizing that a good life doesn’t depend on owning more stuff, scoring the latest gadgets or driving bigger, faster cars.Our connections with family, friends, community and nature are vastly more important.Yes, we need oil and gas, and will for some time.Having built our cities and infrastructure to accommodate cars rather than people, we can’t turn around overnight.But we can stop wasting our precious resources.By conserving and switching to cleaner energy, we can ensure we still have oil and gas long into the future, perhaps long enough to learn to appreciate the potential of what’s essentially energy from the sun, stored and compressed over millions of years.If we dig it up and sell it so it can be burned around the world, we consign ourselves to a polluted planet ravaged by global warming, with nothing to fall back on when fossil fuels are gone.Scientists around the world have RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke.Quebec JIG 1Y7 Fax:819-821-3179 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com VVtBsm:: www.sherbrookerecord.com Sharon McCully Pdhushek .(819) 569-9511 Daniel Coulombe News Editor .(819) 569-6345 Stephen Blake Corresp.Editor .(819) 569-6345 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman.(819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS Accounting.(819) 569-9511 Advertising .(819) 569-9525 Circulation .(819) 569-9528 Newsroom .(819) 569-6345 Knowi.ton OFFICE 5B Victoria Street, Knowi.ton, Quebec, JOE 1 VO Tel: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST IOTA L 1 YEAR 135.60 6.78 13.53 S155.91 6 MONTHS 71.19 3.56 7.10 S8 1 .85 3 MONTHS 36.16 1.81 3.60 S41.57 ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS 1 YEAR 71.50 3.58 7.13 $82.21 1 MONTH 6.49 0.32 0.65 $ 7.46 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was (bunded on February 9.1897.and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record.1195 Galt East.Sherbrooke.QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA TO BE OR NOT TO BE.NORTHERN GATEWAY PlPEUNE DECISION APPROACHES been warning us for decades about the consequences of our wasteful lifestyles, and evidence for the ever-increasing damage caused by pollution and climate change continues to grow.But we have to do more than just wean ourselves off fossil fuels.We must also look to economic systems, progress measurements and ways of living that don’t depend on destroying everything the planet provides to keep us healthy and alive.Written with Contributions from David Suzuki Foundation Senior Editor lan Han-ington.Learn more at www.davidsuzuki.org.Letter Dear Editor: We now have about half a million pieces of junk orbiting the planet.This will increase and sooner or later will become a big problem.So perhaps we should consider forgetting about space travel (this is boring) and create a protective shieldc or halo around our planet.This could be done by putting all our garbage, j unk and stuff that doesn’t sell at garage sales into orbit.So any aliens who try to reach our planet would be simply blown to pieces by all our garbage and stuff.It might also block enough sunlight so as to prevent global warming.And Mr.Harper;

the first ever.Politics, nationalism, war -they all played a role in the short-lived road.A military force built it in 1810, under the direction of James Henry Craig, Governor General of the Canadas and Lieutenant Governor of Lower Canada.Born of Scottish parents in Gibraltar, Craig was a former military officer.He died in 1812.But his last hurrah - the great Craig’s Road - essentially died before he did.“By the spring of 1811, nature’s reality confronted the stage coach operation with the spring thaw.Combined with the severe hills of the portion from St.Sylvestre and Leeds to the Trout Lake, and the low-lying regions which flooded the corduroy sections of the road, the stage coach quickly became dysfunctional.In addition, no infrastructure such as inns of note existed, and when they did, they were of questionable repute and quality.” That’s how Steve Cameron described its demise.He’s co- RA GARBER TÊ Aft HA'âggl pPPI Vx-v Steve Cameron points out the little 100-foot stretch of original Craig’s Road in Saint-Sylvestre, Quebec.For about a year, the rocky track was part of a stagecoach road from Quebec City to Boston.But for more years than that, it conducted European settlers -

and there were others you're, ‘OK,’ - Montreal Alouettes head coach Tom Higgins —.Sophomore Masoli rallies Ticats to exhibition CFL win over Alouettes By Dan Ralph The Canadian Press Hamilton, Ont.Jeremiah Masoli made an impressive pitch Saturday to move up the pecking order with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.Masoli threw three second-half touchdown passes to lead Hamilton past the Montreal Alouettes 28-23 in the CFL exhibition opener for both teams Saturday.The sophomore completed 9-of-13 passes for 137 yards and also added a game-high 28 yards rushing on six carries.“We're all competitors and we all want to play, right?” Masoli said.“No dif: ferent for myself, 1 want to play every game.“I definitely feel better than last year.Part of that is being confident with being back again in this system.” Masoli put Hamilton ahead 28-23 with a 16-yard TD pass to Sam Giguere at 9:21 of the fourth quarter before 5,573 spectators at Ron Joyce Stadium.Montreal led 23-21 on Delbert Alvarado's 26-yard field goal at 2:27.Masoli gave Hamilton a 21-20 advantage with two third-quarter TD strikes.He hit C.J.Gable on a six-yard pass at 6:32, then capped a 105-yard, six-play march with a 20-yard toss to Luke Tasker at 12:31.Alvarado's 43-yard field goal had put Montreal ahead 20-7.“Jeremiah ran the offence very well,” Ticats head coach Kent Austin said.“He ran the ball, he saw coverage.he made his zone reads very well, just had a full command of the offence.” Newcomer Zach Collaros, who started against Montreal, is Hamilton's clear-cut No.1 quarterback.But Masoli outplayed Dan LeFevour (4-of-12 passing for 45 yards with two interceptions), his com- petition for the backup job.But Austin wouldn't say if Masoli had the upper hand for the backup job.“We expect all our guys to play well,” he said.“We don't distinguish much between starters and backups because many guys have to play in a long season.“Anybody who takes the football field, we expect them to play like a starter.” Collaros, signed this off-season after being released by the Toronto Argonauts, played the first quarter.He was 5-of-8 passing for 52 yards and had a 13-yard run.“I thought Zach did well,” Austin said.“He was accurate, he made a play that turned into a first down with his feet, moved the sticks, made some throws.” Tyrell Sutton and Kyle Graves had the Montreal touchdowns.Sean Whyte added the converts and a field goal while Alvarado booted two.LeFevour scored Hamilton's other touchdown.Brett Lauther had two converts while Justin Medlock added one.With incumbent Troy Smith not dressed, Montreal started Tanner Marsh before Alex Brink and Collin Klein took turns under centre.The trio combined to finish 17-of-31 passing for 197 yards with a TD and two interceptions."There were things they did we were extremely pleased with and there were others you're, ‘OK,’” Montreal head coach Tom Higgins said.“But a lot of times the quarterbacks get too much credit and too much blame with how things go.“When all is said and done, the fact we got through this football game relatively healthy and had the opportunity to evaluate and see the players play that needed to play, we got done what we needed to get done.” Brink was Montreal's most effective quarterback, completing 7-of-10 passes for 90 yards and a TD.Marsh was 6-of-ll for 50 yards and an interception while Klein finished 4-of-10 for 57 yards and an interception.Brink's nine-yard TD strike to Graves ,at 13:38 of the second staked Montreal to a 17-7 half-time lead.Graves, the former Acadia quarterback trying to make the .Mouettes as a receiver, scored after Whyte connected from 43 yards at 10:20 to break a 7-7 tie.Sutton opened the scoring with a one-yard ID run at 9:33 of the first, set up by a pass interference call in the end zone on Hamilton's Brandon Stewart.Montreal took over at the Ticats' 25-yard line after Medlock was tackled recovering an third-down errant snap resulting in a 40-yard loss on the play.LeFevour tied it with a one-yard TD run on third down on the final play of the first.It was set up by a pass interference call on Montreal's Michael Garter in the end zone after Hamilton's Eric Norwood forced and recovered a fumble on a punt return.Training Camp update On Sunday, the Alouettes released six players, most notably Sherbrooke receiver Ismael Bamba.The others let go were wide receiver Jheranie Boyd, running back Robert Godhigh, defensive end C.J.James, quarterback Collin Klein and linebacker Stephon Roberts.Offensive lineman Pascal Baillargeon was added to the six-game injured list.Four more transactions were to be announced late Sunday.CFL rosters had to be down to 65 by midnight Sunday.The Alouettes return to training camp at Coulter Field in Lennoxville

League champions, the Kahnawake Mohawks, on Saturday night, but lost by a score of 11-8 at the Julien Ducharme centre in Fleurimont before a crowd of over 200.Head coach Paul Lehmann had predicted a strong game for his players and especially a brilliant performance by young goalie Sasha Lowry Gagnon.Mission accomplished on that score, as the Extreme (2-6) were in the game for 60 minutes and the Mohawks (6-1) had to give everything they had in the third period to escape with the victory “Our first game against the Mohawks ended with a 9-goal difference in their favour just a month ago,” says Lehmann.“Since then, our team has progressed in a big way and tonight only three small goals made the difference in a game that could have gone one way or the other late in the game.” In the first, the Mohawks took a 4-3 lead, but the local team proved that it wasn’t going to go down without a fight.In the middle period, great performances brought each team three goals and the score at period’s end was 7-6 in favour of the visitors.In the third, the Mohawks used their experience to score four goals while holding Sherbrooke to just a pair.The Mohawks got goals from Peter Jacobs (4G), Mark Kirby (2G, 3A) Ahsennon-tie Diabo (2G, 3A), Alex Hill Keado (1G, 3A), Matej Barak and Karah Two Axe against rookie goalie Sasha Lowry Gagnon who had 37 saves on 48 shots on net.For the Extreme, goals came from Mathieu Lavoie, the star of the game with one goal and four assists, Dave Lapointe (2G, 2A), Sylvain Perrault, Philippe St James, Jean-Philippe Paquette (2G) and André Laleune (2g, 2a) against goaltender Angus Goodleaf, who stopped 34 of 42 shots.Sherbrooke’s next game is Friday in Chateauguay against the Kahnawake Tomahawks.Source: Gilles Peloquin COURTESY QSI.L The Sherbrooke

quest for an insect-free summer, Americans turn to a bevy of products that companies promise will repel, trap, kill or otherwise neutralize pests, notes Consumer Reports.The attraction of those products is all too understandable.Not only can mosquitoes, ticks and stinging insects like yellow jackets ruin summer fun, but they can also trigger allergic reactions or carry disease.Serious ones, too, such as Lyme disease.West Nile virus and a new worry for the U.S., tropical diseases such as dengue fever and Chikungunya, or ChikV.Both are debilitating conditions spread by mosquitoes, and they’re heading to the U.S.mainland.Consumer Reports’ tests over the years have found that some products, especially chemical-based insect repellents, can help keep away ticks and mosquitoes.But its safety experts also worry about the risks they may pose to people and the environment.“We think that deet and other chemical-based insect repellents should only be used if other measures don’t work for you,” says Dr.Urvashi Rangan, executive director of Consumer Reports’ Consumer Safety and Sustainability Group.“Other methods, such as wearing protective clothing and avoiding the use of scented products when outdoors, can be effective for many situations.” Joseph Conlon, a retired Navy entomologist who consults with the nonprofit American Mosquito Control Association, agrees that it often takes more than one approach to rein in backyard bugs.“Unfortunately, there is still no silver bullet for mosquito problems,” he says.“But with careflil planning, it’s possible to control them.” Consumer Reports offers these steps you can take to control the pests.— Mosquitoes.Manufacturers now sell mosquito traps that use fans, electric grids or adhesive pads to capture and kill mosquitoes.The devices do kill some of them, but it’s unclear whether that translates into “a noticeable reduction in your mosquito population,” Conlon says.Even less impressive are devices that use light, sound or smell to lure mosquitoes.Consumer Reports’ safety experts also caution against using yard foggers, which spray repellent from a can.You might inhale the pesticides, including some compounds that might disrupt your hormone system and that have been linked to neurological, developmental and other health problems.Rangan emphasizes that you’re best off doing things that discourage mosquitoes from breeding in the first place.Because they’re drawn to murky water, keep your yard free of containers filled with water, such as gutters, birdbaths, Bulwer Golden Age Club June 3, 2014 -

2014.Have a great summer, God bless and take care.Submitted by Margaret tires, wheelbarrows, wading pools and swimming pool covers.Clear away ivy and decaying leaves, because mosquitoes like cool, dark places.Other steps you might try include using LED or yellow lights on your porch and around your house, and plugging in a fan when on your deck.Citronella, in candles or in the oil in tiki torches, is a mild repellent.— Ticks.They like tall grass and lots of shade.So keep your lawn mowed, remove leaves and other debris and try to let as much sun into your yard as possible.Consider putting up a fence around your property to keep out deer and other large animals that can carry ticks.And don’t forget to check your pets for ticks after they have been romping in the yard.— Stinging insects.Keep garbage cans and picnic food covered, because bees love discarded food.Most bees and wasps will leave you alone if you don’t bother them, so don’t swat at them.Nests should be removed only if they are in high-traffic areas.If you can, wait until the fall or winter, when the nests are abandoned.If you need to remove them sooner, do it early in the spring, and early or late in the day when the insects are less active.Always wear head-to-toe protective clothing, and never remove nests if it requires standing on a ladder; call a professional instead.Traps with the chemical heptyl butyrate may help control bees.Robert Frenette, 19 from Woodstock, New Brunswick, along with Katie Neu, 17 of Kitchener, Ontario, are two youths who share one thing in common.They have been

Page 12 Monday, June 16,2014 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record We had to give up our baby girl for adoption because we couldn’t care for her properly MONDAY, JUNE 16, 2014 Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I have been with “Robert” for three years, and we have been through a lot.We’ve always had financial issues, but six months ago, we had to give up our baby girl for adoption because we couldn’t care for her properly.Emotionally, this has destroyed both of us, but thankfully, I began going to counseling early on, and it has helped.Robert, however, focused on work and is ignoring his feelings on this matter.He has few friends and confided in only one (who was also his boss), who then began bullying Robert.Robert feels very isolated and was hospitalized for severe depression and put on suicide watch.He is currently on medication and waitlisted for counseling.Robert has never been much of a talker, and I fear he will lie or stop going and miss out on the help he needs.Since leaving the hospital, he has been getting progressively worse: screaming, breaking items in our home, crying randomly and cutting out what few friends he has left.He refuses to speak to his family.I’ve tried talking to him, tried finding ways to release his feelings, cried with him and tried giving him his space.Recently, I wrote a letter to his health care provider so he will know what’s going on.I want to be supportive of Robert, but I don’t know what to do.I feel like I am running out of ways to help him.I’m also frightened that focusing on Robert’s mental health and living in this environment is hindering my health, as well.I don’t want to give up on him.What can I do?— The Other Half Dear Other: Having to give up a child is heartbreaking, even when done in the child’s best interests.Your husband desperately needs bereavement counseling.He also may blame himself for not doing enough to keep his family together, and the guilt could be overwhelming his willingness to seek help.In addition, he may resent your “recovery,” which makes it difficult for him to heed your suggestions.You both could benefit from checking the information and online discussion forums offered through Concerned United Birthparents (cubirthparents.org), Adoption.org and Adoption.com.Dear Annie: This has been bothering me for weeks.For Mother’s Day, I received text messages saying, “Happy Mother’s Day” from both of my older children.I was expecting at least a phone call.They do the same thing on my birthday.I don’t keep them on the phone long.I realize they are busy with my grand- children.I never say anything to them, but it hurts to think they can’t at least have a real-time conversation with me.Is this the new generation’s way of communicating?Shouldn’t they know better, or am I just being old-fashioned?— Hurting Mama Dear Mama: Kids communicate by text these days.If you want a phone call, you will have to say so instead of stewing in silence.You are not expecting too much for them to phone you on special occasions, but they can’t read your mind, and we suspect they aren’t aware that you find it hurtful.Please speak up.(And since they have children, there’s no reason you cannot phone and wish them a happy Mother’s Day, too.) Dear Annie: “Thought I Was Part of a Large Family” should be aware that as we grow older, attitudes among siblings can change.My brother and I had a rivalry through college, but as we grew to understand each other (and convinced Dad to stop comparing us), we began to get along much better.“Thought” should go to the family reunion and see whether she can get to know her distant siblings and nieces and nephews better.There is a real possibility that she could build a good relationship with at least one of them.— K.Dear Annie: Is there such a thing as an addiction to charitable giving?I cannot seem to say no to anyone with a need or a hard-luck story.I give generously to my church, wildlife organizations, cancer funds, fire fighter causes and on and on.I give to a number of animal charities.Most folks will drop a dollar or two in the Salvation Army kettles at Christmas.I’m the one who puts in $20 every time I pass one.1 also derive pleasure from handing some stranger a $10 bill and instructing them to have lunch on me.I do this at least once a week.I also tip quite well.All of this generosity would not be a bad thing, but I now find myself in debt because I give cash away right and left.How do I cut back?— Overdoing the Tithing Dear Overdoing: An addiction is characterized by an inability to control the desire to keep doing it.Some addictions are more destructive than others.You seem to recognize that you have a problem, and that is the first step in getting better.You are being kind, yes, but your donations are also self-serving.You like the way you feel when you are expansive.Try setting a strict budget.Figure out what you can afford to give away each month.Earmark some for the charities to which you regularly contribute, and put the rest in single dollar bills that you can distribute however you wish.You are less likely to give a stranger a $10 bill if all you have on you are singles.If you truly want to be a generous soul without breaking the bank, volunteer your time at the local animal shelter or Salvation Army.Dear Annie: People seem to have difficulty unfriending others on Facebook.I’d like to share with your readers how easy it is to avoid that.You can limit Facebook friends by making some friends “acquaintances.” You can elect to share posts with “friends except acquaintances.” That way, not everyone will see what you post, but the people in your network won’t know whether they are “friends” or “acquaintances,” and there won’t be any hurt feelings.You also don’t have to “unfriend” someone you aren't that close to.There arc other categories, as well.I have a special list called “family.” I think sometimes Facebook users are too quick to add everyone who asks to their “friend” list.I also believe it is a good idea when posting pictures of kids to make sure they are not tagged “public” so that you limit who can see them.— Facebook Extraordinaire Dear E.E.: Many people don’t bother looking into the more complicated aspects of using Facebook and other social media sites, but it’s worth the extra effort to avoid unpleasantness down the road.Thanks for your expertise.Dear Annie: The reader from “Baton Rouge, La.,” said she wishes she could bottle the innocence she enjoyed on TV back in the 1950s.Well, this innocence has been bottled, so to speak.I loved the television shows of the ‘50s, and a lot of them are now available on DVD and on some of the cable TV stations.1 regularly watch “Leave It to Beaver,” “My Favorite Martian” and “Mr.Ed." Someday I want to buy “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” and “The Patty Duke Show.” If she does not have access to cable TV stations that run old TV shows, she can easily pick up DVDs from local stores or online and give them to her grandchildren.— Schenectady, N.Y.Dear N.Y.: Thanks for the great suggestion.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Coaticook Area Senior Citizens’ Club May is the month when the first garden crops are beginning to sprout.Many birds are sitting on their eggs which will soon hatch.Mother’s Day, an important day in May set apart in honour of motherhood.Did you know Mother’s Day became a public holiday in 1914?The Coaticook Area Senior Citizens’ Club gathered at the Elie Carrier Communautaire, May 20, thirty-three in attendance.This is the last meet until September.Shirley Desruisseaux, President, conducted a short business meeting.She welcomed all with special mention of Dorothy Woodman who turns 91 this month.Special birthday greetings were extended in song.Dorothy, a member of this club for many years, was given the pleasure of becoming an honorary member, December 6, 2000.A tune up to improve performance! From time to time, people, clubs, etc., become lacking in energy and ideas for change in the programme.In view of this, Shirley prepared a survey form, whereby, members were asked to put forward their suggestions, offer to volunteer their services and/or take an office on the executive board.The President will review the results of the survey over the summer break.The midday meal was very tasty.Tomato juice, crusty bread, pork chops in a mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes, green salad, birthday cake, ice cream and fruit cocktail.Shirley offered the Grace.All May birthdays were acknowledged, half and half drawings were won by Betty Haskell, Mary Lessard and Arnold MacKeage.The afternoon activity was an art “Show and Tell.” Beauty is almost always associated with art.But, not all beautiful things are works of art.Artists mean their work to be beautiful, it has to say something to people.The creation of works of beauty on display was awesome! Talent within the club, needlepoint, embroidery, crocheted and knitted articles, basket weave, handmade jewellery, sequin creations, painting on canvas, slate, hand tools, along with woodcraft, carving, etc.The artists were Pat and Ed Bryant, Suzanne Martin, Ellen Bailey, Aline Patterson, Lydia and Wilson May, Shirley Desruisseaux, Ernie Wintle, Leta Dustin and Marry Cutler who brought in beautiful needlepoint work done on a canvas by her late mother.Shirley thanked the volunteers who assist her each month, with the meal planning, the half and half draw, the Treasurer, Don Patterson and his helpers, also extending her thanks to all members who took part in the arts show.On behalf of the club, I would like to thank Shirley for her determined attempt to make the programme interesting each month.Enjoy the summer with family and friends.Make it fun with laughter, you don’t stop laughing because you are old, you grow old because you stop laughing.Next meeting, September 2014.Submitted by Leta Dustin, Secretary Email your social news to classad@sherbrookerecord.com The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, June 16, 2014 Page 13 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms ate created from quotations by famous people, pas: and present.Each tetter in the cipher stands for another.“IRNG LFMGPGRXN UTXT NCRXG.WPG, IFLLKT-PETL PJL CPFXKTNN.STNFLTN LPJJA LTZFGR, GCTXT'N RJKA IT GR HKPA G C T I ." — SRS CRNBFJN Previous Solution: "Nothing i’ve ever done has given me more joys and rewards than being a father to my children ” — Bill Cosby TODAY'S CLUE d s/entX) M ©2014byNEA.Inc., dlst.by Universal Uclick 6-16 Kit n’ Carlyle Alley Oop kitncarlyle@comcast.net www.CoComics.com ON 12014 UFS, Inc Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS Herman HERMAN Laughingstock Licensing Inc., Dist.by Universal Uclick, 2014 ‘Okay, you’ve got five minutes to capture my interest.” (t) : m».\ and Strode _in« VVim -rt'4 we sb‘»PP'n& ^Ja'S Food Guide.OF COURSE/ FLOWERS/ THANKS, L/'i DINKY/ YOU THINK < 'V IF EVERYTHING/ < ¦' ' .¦Nis.vs' .' fîsji g ^ f/Sky-.i.u.¦ m SAY, DINNY iU'/jASYl .^‘.vAy'GOT any ideas .X FOR HOW I CAN : / ’ ( IMPRESS OOOLA’ ; Arlo & Janis Sir DOWD.'Ill ÛE.TYÛÜ 50 DRIDK.' //1JU5T LOST , _ , 2% OF MY AV/) / BODY WEIGHT.' lOTMOCDOOV 50ME.WATER r x-Y \ it a MIDUTE' The Born Loser rooTou eveR.V you /ae/a'1 THINK Ik&OUT ) LIKE.WHM YOUR FUTUKE?OXOU ï NT TO BLWHE.N'TOU :ow up ?AN APULT 7 Frank And Ernest Grizwells I'M JUST HÉRÉ TO T9^ YOU THÉ eujtsiitb of tfAPhNtSt IvON'T £é COtAiNO - HÉ COLLlOfO WITH A bftONf.§s WHAT TlMLt*>yoÜ mHK ïï\5^ ) — avn you MAKE AH EDUCATE?\^5 KWTk MIND.J A Vi/HAT?Soup to Nuts ESsaY-write a PEscR'prwe paRaoRapH about a GRaNOPaReNT MaNdMa had g ?.Thr&ATy Laui&h.the k"^ a doc Mawes V'igM bef0«e ,t fiAkes.Check/«Health Check" The New EPIDEMIC Diabetes Québec Information and donations: (514) 259.3422 or 1.800.361.3504 www.diabete.qc.ca page 14 Monday, June 16, 2014 Cali.Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: dassad@sherbrookerecord.com or Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 a.m.and 4:00 p.m.classad@sherbrookerecord.com The Record CLASSIFIED Deadline: 12:30 p.m.one day prior to pubucation Or mail your prepaid classified ads to The Record, P.O.Box 1200, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1H 5L6 001 Property for Sale 035 For Rent CANCEL YOUR TIMESHARE.No risk program.Stop mortgage and maintenance payments today.100% money back guarantee.Free consultation.Call us now.We can help! 1-888-356-5248.035 For Rent BURY 3 1/2 apartment for rent with floating floors and locker space.$385/month.Vacant now.Call: 819-872-3702.BURY Big apartment for rent, 2 1/2, fully furnished.on farm, near town.Possibility to keep horses.Quiet person, vacant now.$390/month.Call: 819-872-3702.CLASSÏFIEDS ONLINE!

An aggressive, to-the-point attitude will lead you to success this year.If you keep the doors of communication ajar, you won’t run into any surprises regarding what others are up to.Your personal life will intprove once you are happy and feel secure with your professional achievements.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Ignore anyone making derogatory comments.It’s your turn to be in the limelight.Someone with similar views will be interested in you personally and professionally.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Get together with friends or relatives and figure out how to care for a loved one who needs assistance.Sharing responsibilities will help you develop greater respect for each other.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — If you are faced with opposition, consider that it could be your fault.Your intentions may be good, but if you are too aggressive or demanding, you only create friction.Diplomacy will be required.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Implementing a new nutritional regimen into your daily routine will have health benefits if you practice moderation and monitor the results until you reach a perfect balance.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Take time out to socialize and nurture your personal dreams, hopes and wishes.If you are single, mingle, and if you are part of a couple, plan a romantic evening.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) — You can’t please everyone, so do what you can to satisfy your own needs.Don’t fall prey to guilt being directed at you by others.Updating your image will give you a positive boost.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - If you are unclear about what is happening around you,

accident.Be prepared to work hard and make the changes needed to fulfill your ideals.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) - Don’t have any qualms about speaking your mind.You may receive some negative feedback, but trying to hide your feelings won’t help resolve a situation that is puzzling you.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Rumors and gossip will spread like wildfire.Don’t repeat or believe what you hear.Your intuition will help you decide how to handle what’s happening and what to do about it.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Run your ideas by your peers and colleagues.Networking is an excellent way to discover how you can make a work-related improvement.An alliance will develop with someone you meet.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Be a participant, not a spectator.Get into the spirit of the moment and agree to take on a new challenge.Having the right attitude is just as vital as the skills you possess.MONDAY, JUNE 16, 2014 One thing can lead to another by Phillip Alder Rene Descartes, a French mathematician, philosopher and writer, said, “(Intuition and deduction are) the two operations on which we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge.” At the bridge table, we make deductions and sometimes use intuition.A few deals involve making one deduction and using that to draw a second deduction.Today’s is an example.South jumps into six spades.West leads the heart

since he had no way to find out if North had that perfecto.South sensibly took a shot at six spades.The contract looks too easy.Draw trumps, run the diamonds and claim an overtrick.But rather than plunge recklessly forward.South should wonder what might go wrong.The only danger is a bad split in each pointed suit.If diamonds are 4-0, there will be a loser only if East has all four.If spades are 3-0, declarer can avoid a loser by guessing which opponent is long in West North 06-16-14 4 K J 9 8 V J 6 ?Q 10 3 2 * A 7 4 East 4 Q 5 4 A .V K Q 10 3 V 9 8 7 4 2 ?- ?J 9 8 6 * J 9 8 6 5 2 * K Q 10 3

assume he has a diamond loser.But if East has four diamonds, who is likely to be long in spades?Right — West.So, after taking the first trick with his heart ace, declarer should cash his spade ace.Here, when East discards, South plays a spade to dummy’s jack, cashes the spade king, throws his heart five on the club ace and concedes a diamond trick when they do break 4-0.CROSSWORD Across 1
