an high school locker number of old, the last four digits of your grandparents' phone number, and a series of dates - birthdays, anniversaries, significant experiences.and then sometimes there are numbers that are attached to strange places we feel like we've never been.That is 46 for me.The age I turn this week.This is the age that I officially share with my Dad.I guess it'll be stranger when I'm 46 and one month and five days - officially beyond him, a day older than he got to be.The experience is lending a strange perspective - what this age is like, where we find ourselves.I was 19 years of age when he died, my brothers 17 and 16.My boys are almost 17 and almost 14.Being the parent of teenagers puts us in a kind of perma-flux, where the world just seems to be caught up in a very particular inertia, a rolling stone of sorts, with narry a spot of moss in sight.I am propelled - most of my time involves food - planning what they will eat, going to purchase it, making it, cleaning up after it.They eat a lot, and they eat well.So that is part of 46 it would seem.I am propelled - by laundry - emptying pockets and shaking my head as I collect my youngest son's errant socks - he leaves them around absentmindedly exactly the way my father used to.I am propelled - by a new career - having just completed my studies in hairdressing.My father had a great opportunity, a few years before his death, to close the family electrical business and go to work for Bertrand Dion in Richmond - he was freed from the headaches of business management that he struggled with, but still able to practice his profession.He found himself on unfamiliar, slightly uncertain ground as I do right now.What happens when we turn the age that they were?What is the word for the last age someone gets to be?I guess maybe within it, we are aware of time differently.All of the moments I get beyond 46 and one month and four days will be like walking through a doorway of time that he did not get.Every subsequent slice of time I am blessed with is something of a gift, something a little more new, something different than all of the days before.I will know to appreciate it because of how there were no more doorways for him.He was our father, and we were fortunate to have the quality of fatherhood that we had in those years - enough to grow on, but I know now that there is never enough.Every moment with my sons, beyond 46 and one month and four days will allow me experiences with them where we all continue to grow.Where I will have the benefit of events and conversations, arguments, successes and strange boundaries.If I am fortunate I will see them become adults.I feel that is something he would have enjoyed.Although many studies do state that our parents' lives provide an indication of what could come for us as children, I can only use that as part of a possible equation.As my friend Maureen says, 'The best possible is possible.' I will use that as my compass as I make my way beyond, where I have family photos of me older than my own father ever got to be.I don't think I can ever really see us as peers, or me truly beyond him, because even in death somehow we bring them with us, and they age through all of the events we do, through landmarks and milestones, we age them, their hair silvering and their eyeglasses more a permanent fixture, the things that they would have enjoyed apparent to us.So although my age will exceed his, he isn't left behind in time, left younger, trapped at the time of his demise, because the way he lived is what truly propels him forward, still with us, even as the numbers move by.Dishpan Hands Sheil a Quinn Sherbrooke launches Grand Prix du livre 2020 Record Staff The City of Sherbrooke is joining forces with the Association des Au- teures et des auteurs de l'Estrie to launch the 2020 Grand Prix du livre de la Ville de Sherbrooke.Created in 2004, this biennial event aims to reward exceptional works in two categories, literary creation and essay.The winning work in the \"literary creation\" category will be decided based on originality, artistic value and quality of expression.As for the winning work in the \"essay\" category, it will be judged based on the quality of its content and form, its originality and its relevance In 2020, the Sherbrooke Grand Prix du livre will focus on works published between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2020.The winner of each category will receive a $4,000 scholarship.Two finalists per category will receive a $1,000 scholarship.To submit a nomination, authors are invited to visit sherbrooke.ca/gpdl.Registrations must be received by the City of Sherbrooke's Culture Division no later than July 2, 2020.

a member of the Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) weekly Girls Group program, was proud to represent the Boys and Girls Group in receiving a donation from Virgin Hill Coffee at their new locale located at 770 Ch.Lakeside in Foster.Posing here with Tara Moar (Tara and her husband Matt Greer are the owners of Virgin Hill Coffee); Tara presented Kendra with a cheque for $1000.00 to assist the two weekly programs with outings, projects, supplies and fun! Virgin Hill Coffee is a family-owned business with a passion for coffee.The true family business is matched in its love for coffee only by its charitable acts that help a variety of different programs and organisations.Virgin Hill has been donating to the CABMN Boys and Girls groups for years now and without their kindness, the groups would not be able to do some of the wonderful outings, Christmas party and activities that this funding makes possible.Boys and Girls group offer a 40 week program after school on Thursdays (boys) and Friday (girls) with an annual registration fee of only $10.00.The aim is to make the program accessible to all youth between the ages of 5 and 12 who may wish to attend.Virgin Hill\u2019s donation helps to provide extra funding for special things.Parents of young children, Tara Moar and husband, Matt Greer are extremely aware of the financial struggles faced by non-profit organisations and groups working with youth.The two do all they can to give back.Their infectious smiles and warm greetings find many visiting their new locale on Ch.Lakeside in the Town of Brome Lake.The location aims to invite visitors to \u201cexperience coffee!\u201d The space offers coffee tastings where you can enjoy delicious coffees, the opportunity to roast your own coffee beans in their micro-roaster, information about coffee and of course, you can purchase your favorite blends on-site in bulk.\u201cInspired by our local Wine Route and trips to specialty coffee farms, the vision of the Virgin Hill \u201cAtelier de Café\u201d began to form in our heads (and our hearts) five years ago,\u201d explains the couple.\u201cWe didn\u2019t just want to offer a café \u2013 we wanted a welcoming place where people could really interact and learn about the world of coffee.We hope you\u2019ll come visit us and experience coffee in a whole new way.\u201d For Kendra Jersey-Fortin, the experience of going to the Coffee Workshop location was a great way to spend a fall day.Being able to bring back such a wonderful gift to present to the two groups as one of its youngest members was a bonus! Stop by the locale and take in the sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee mixed with just the right measure of generosity and kindness.Mable Hastings The Scoop COURTESY Wellington North reopening delayed By Gordon Lambie Citing \u201cmore complicated work than expected\u201d the City of Sherbrooke did not reopen Wellington Street North to traffic on Monday as announced at the end of last week.\u201cWe initially thought we would be able to finish this afternoon, but we had certain difficulties with a break that we had on Wellington,\u201d said Jean-Pierre Fortier, division chief for the construction and water management division on Monday morning, explaining that a piece of the water system dating back to 1920 took longer to repair than anticipated.As a result of the delay, the removal of fences and additional equipment from the street could not proceed on schedule and is instead set to take place Tuesday.\u201cWe are aiming for tomorrow afternoon, but I prefer to say Wednesday morning at the latest,\u201d Fortier said of the new opening date.Outside of the new deadline, information on the reopening of the street remains the same as what was presented in Monday\u2019s Record, but the division chief said that the partial closures to come on the street might be less of a bother than originally thought.He could not give a specific timeline on when the work would be done, as he said it is mainly outside contractors like Bell and not the city itself doing the work, but said that at their worst the closures would result only in alternating traffic.As to the work on Grandes-Fourches Boulevard, Fortier said that paving teams are expected on the worksite within 10 days and that the base layer of paving should be completed within three weeks, making the road ready to reopen to traffic for the winter even if the work is not 100 per cent complete.Public works in general in the city are moving into a pre-winter phase.The division chief said that no new projects are being started as work crews put their effort into finishing up before the snow.\u201cOur teams know what kinds of temperatures are coming,\u201d he said, explaining that although forecasts predict workable weather until mid-December, the city is aiming for all current projects to be finished by November 15. Taylor McClure Special to The Record On Thursday Oct.24, Bishop\u2019s University will host its first \u201cRunning Electric\u201d event in the parking lot of the Sports Complex from 11:30 a.m.to 6 p.m.The event is open to the public and provides the community with a chance to test drive an electric or hybrid car for 15 minutes.The running electric events, launched by Équiterre in partnership with Transition énergétique Québec and the Conseil regional de l\u2019environnement de l\u2019Estrie (CREE), is a part of the Quebec government\u2019s goal to have 100,000 electric cars on the road by 2020.The CREE has already carried out three Running electric events in the Es- trie region and decided to have Bishop\u2019s University to host the final event for 2019 in the Sherbrooke area.Transportation makes up almost half of Quebec\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions with a contribution of 43 per cent stemming from the automotive sector.One of the best ways to reduce emissions is to drive an electric car.JN Auto, Audi Sherbrooke, Thibault Chevrolet, Nissan Sherbrooke, Hyundai Sherbrooke, and Val Estrie Ford will be present at the event with seven different models available to test drive.Thes models include a Tesla (3, S or X), an Audi e- tron, a Chevrolet Bolt EV, a Nissan Leaf, a Hyundai Kona electric, a Hyundai Ioniq electric, and a Ford Fusion Energi SE.In order to test drive the vehicles, there are certain conditions.Drivers must be 21 years-of-age and older and must present a driver\u2019s licence that is valid in Quebec.Anyone hoping to test drive one of the vehicles should reserve a spot to ensure access to the desired model and preferable time slot.Reservations can be made at www.roulonselectrique.ca.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com T uesday ,

Staff Over the weekend the Val-Saint- François MRC organized a welcome weekend for nearly 30 temporary foreign workers to help them discover the region on an exploratory tour, the first and largest event of its kind in Estrie.Organized by Place aux jeunes en région Val-Saint-François and the MRC's immigration mobilization and development officer, this activity aimed to promote the integration of the temporary workers and encourage them to consider settling in the region over the long term.In search of solutions to ensure the retention of their workforce, the companies Specialized Gears, Valmetal Jamesway Group, Verbom, Lemay Outillage, Usinatech, Set47, Innotex and Logan Group and Trisotech for BRP welcomed the idea for the weekend, considering it an opportunity to facilitate the social integration of their workers.Originally from Tunisia and the Philippines, the participants were taken by bus to various cities and municipalities in the Val-Saint-François MRC to discover various services and attractions to help them familiarize themselves with their new region of adoption.They had the opportunity to visit the Melbourne Country Market, Racine's Lo- cavore Market, the Yvonne L.Cultural Centre.Bombardier, Stephan Perreault Plantations and the Parc historique de la Poudrière.During the weekend, there was a networking session in Richmond where participants were able to meet elected officials, socio-economic actors and residents.After that, the host, storyteller and caller, Donald Dubuc, hosted a traditional Quebec dance during which immigrant workers were able to immerse themselves in local cultural heritage.COURTESY Michael J.Armstrong Associate professor of operations research, Goodman School of Business, Brock University This week marks the first anniversary of Canada\u2019s recreational cannabis legalization.It\u2019s an appropriate time to review what happened last year and consider what\u2019s coming next.Legalization brought big changes for some folks.About 9,200 employees now work at cannabis producers, with thousands more at retailers.Unfortunately, company profits remain scarce and tax revenues are modest.By contrast, cannabis users are largely unchanged.In the nine months before legalization, an average of 14.9 per cent of Canadians reported using cannabis.That increased by only one-tenth, to 16.3 per cent, during the nine months after.However, those users have increasingly bought their cannabis legally.Sales grew Health Canada data show July\u2019s legal recreational and medical sales totalled 11,387 kilograms of dry cannabis and 9,854 litres of cannabis oil.That\u2019s the fifth consecutive month of expanding sales.Assuming the growth trend continued into August and September, legal products might now constitute 30 per cent of Canada\u2019s estimated consumption.Legal home growers likely supply a few percentage points more.That\u2019s a big improvement from September 2018, when legal sales represented only eight per cent of national demand.But illegal suppliers still control most of the market.Producers and retailers expanded The limited sales success was largely due to ongoing shortages of dry cannabis products throughout fall and winter.But supplies began improving in spring.Alongside improving supplies came expanding retail networks.Canada had just over 100 licensed stores in October 2018, but now has more than 550.Some of those have succeeded wildly.Quebec\u2019s government-owned outlets each averaged $940,000 in monthly sales over the summer.Ontario\u2019s private retailers likely did too.But the high sales per store were largely due to having few stores per province.The store scarcity meant legal cannabis captured merely a fraction of each province\u2019s market.By contrast, Alberta and New Brunswick have far more retailers per capita, letting legal cannabis seize bigger market shares.But New Brunswick\u2019s outlets averaged just $150,000 each in monthly sales, while Alberta\u2019s shops did only slightly better.So, low store density is good for retailer profitability but not for public policy.From the latter perspective, Alberta\u2019s retailing approach appears inspired.It had 65 stores open in November, more than any other province.It now has 301, more than all other provinces combined.Conversely, Ontario\u2019s approach increasingly seems misguided.Its initial 25-store limit was reasonable, given last December\u2019s shortages of products and information.But its July decision to license only 50 more shops was far too timid, given how much supplies had improved.Policies need review In fact, this is a good time for all governments to revisit their cannabis strategies.But any resulting updates should reflect their newfound experience, not their ideological reflexes.Consider Quebec\u2019s good example.It recently announced plans to double its store count by spring, thereby improving access for its large population.Ontario should follow that lead.As its Chamber of Commerce argued last month, the province needs more retailers and clear processes for adding them.Meanwhile, New Brunswick is considering privatizing its money-losing cannabis retailer.But it might be better to follow Nova Scotia\u2019s example and put its cannabis shops inside liquor stores.That would maintain accessibility while lowering operating costs.Provinces should also rethink store ownership limits.To ensure competition, Alberta forbids any company from holding more than 15 per cent of all retail licences.That\u2019s about 45 shops, reasonable enough given the province\u2019s size.By contrast, Ontario limits chains to only 75 sites, too few for its large population.And British Columbia restricts them to eight, dooming retailers to inefficiency.Provinces should review cannabis pricing too.Quebec charges retail prices just 28 per cent above what it pays producers.That makes legal products competitive with illicit ones.By contrast, price mark-ups apparently average 54 per cent in New Brunswick, 74 per cent in Ontario and 90 per cent in Newfoundland.That generates more revenue but gives black markets big advantages.This pricing issue will grow more important as Canada\u2019s cannabis market evolves in the years ahead.Coming competition Until recently, the main limits on legal cannabis\u2019 success have been shortages of products and stores.But with those improving, the new challenges will be to compete with black markets on price and quality.That means legal prices must drop, at least for value-priced products.Other provinces should follow Quebec\u2019s lead on that.Meanwhile, producers must continuously improve their product quality to offer aromas, potencies and effects comparable to the best illicit weed.The arrival of cannabis foods, drinks, vapes and lotions in late December should also help.They\u2019re important because about a quarter of cannabis usage involves foods and vapes.Plus, those value-added products provide licensed producers with excellent opportunities to distinguish themselves from illegal suppliers.Cannabis beverages will be particularly interesting to watch.Will they partly replace alcohol as a social beverage, as many producers hope?Or will they remain a niche product?Of course, illegal suppliers will also be dropping their prices and improving their products.Consequently, the more legal sales grow, the tougher it will be to grow them further.And that dynamic could make legalization\u2019s first year, despite all its stumbles, look like the easy part.Michael J.Armstrong does not

Fishing, perhaps more than other outdoor activities in the same broad category, has a reputation of being as meditative as it is fun or entertaining.For the fly fishing subcategory of angling, and its own subcategory known as spey fishing, the former observation seems even more true.Evidence of this emerged during a recent outing, during which I found myself contemplating the virtue of persistence.Pop culture depictions of fly fishing, like Brad Pitt\u2019s angling and Tom Skerrit\u2019s metronome-aided instruction in rhythmic fly casting, from the Hollywood depiction of Norman Maclean\u2019s \u201cA River Runs Through It\u201d story, support and reinforce notions about fly fishing as a meditative exercise.Some additional and potentially groan-inducing remarks identify elements of religious experience in what most regard as a relatively trivial use of leisure time.With so much to consider, and so little motivation to attempt an organized investigation, all I can confidently say about fishing, fly fishing, or spey fishing, is that I do a lot of thinking while engaged in any of the above.At a glance, there are obvious reasons why spey fishing in particular would lend itself to introspection: long periods of repetitive action and waiting provide ample opportunity for the angler to contemplate what it is that they are actually doing with their time.The sudden bursts of action that punctuate these otherwise-uneventful marathons of fishing offer answers to questions about why we spend time this way, and with every subsequent jolt of the rod and line by an aggressive anadromous fish, we\u2019re given insight into exactly what persistence is, and why it\u2019s so valuable compared to other angler and hunter traits.Early fall marks the beginning of the anadromous fishing season in many regions and on many tributaries known well or poorly to anglers, the keenest of which use especially early trips to \u2018dust off\u2019 a variety of figurative \u2018cobwebs\u2019 before the season reaches its peak.On my own recent trip to a preferred steelhead river for an early season \u2018tune-up\u2019 and casting session, my main priorities for the outing\u2014casting practice, fly experimentation, and checking river condi- tions\u2014were dramatically rearranged when a dime-bright steelhead nearly wrenched the rod from my hand, following several hours of relatively nonchalant casting and fishing.After a spectacular athletic display that lasted all of five seconds, my hook, and consequently my self, both became dislodged.Aside from painfully reminding me of why focus is important, and why steel- head are awesome, this lead me to consider how many more casts I would have to make before being given another opportunity at a hot fall fish.The prerequisite time and effort for catching a \u2018fish of 1000 casts\u2019 are somewhat easily spent when you\u2019ve been chomping at the bit for an entire summer, but cooler weather and the misery of defeat tend to drain an angler of his or her early season vigour.So often, what makes a successful hunter or angler boils down to one\u2019s ability to last longer in the woods or in the water.Anglers with a \u2018one-more-cast\u2019 mentality will notoriously squeeze more out of a single day or fishing spot than other anglers and non-anglers would deem reasonable or possible.A fragment of advice on angling persistence that stands out in my memory is offered by steelhead angler and guide Scott Howell, who he urges anglers to fish right upto the point in a run where they have decided it is no longer fishable, and then make ten more casts.Since hearing this advice, I\u2019ve enjoyed playing my own brand of the \u2018last-cast\u2019 game, in which I challenge myself to set a new personal record of consecutive last-casts, or catch a fish after more would-be last-casts than on any previous outing.Before the last-cast game was formalized, and its scoring system quantified, I was surprised by how many fish I caught only minutes after neglecting my urge to move to another spot, change my fly, or take a break to warm my hands and feet.Among other things, this type of exercise is valuable as a way to push and explore the boundaries of where fish can be found.A myriad of potential applications for the one-more-cast mentality are easily imagined if one considers the many angling and hunting scenarios that demand patience and perseverance in some form.Though not necessarily competitive, fishing is, by nature, a ri- valrous activity, and like all fair games that have unequal outcomes, there is much to be said for doing just five or ten percent more than your peers.I\u2019ve talked before about how anglers will typically progress from simply wanting to catch a fish, to then desiring many or bigger fish, and eventually aspiring to catch a seemingly impossible fish.Given this, it seems reasonable that any angler wishing to catch a \u2018fish of 1000 casts\u2019 be well-versed and adequately practiced in the art of persistence.Local Sports So often, what makes a successful hunter or angler boils down to one\u2019s ability to last longer in the

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2019 Dear Annie: Recently, we had new neighbours move in beside us.They are extremely nice people, and we like them very much.However, there is one problem: They drop in unannounced.I don\u2019t know how to tell them that if they would just call ?rst, then I would have enough time to tidy up a bit or could tell them it wasn\u2019t a good time to visit.When someone shows up at the door, a whole family of ?ve, and the father leads with, \u201cIs this a good time?\u201d it\u2019s very dif?cult to say, \u201cNo, this isn\u2019t a good time because I\u2019d like to tidy up ?rst.\u201d I thought us eating dinner would be suf?cient for them to realize it wasn\u2019t a good time, but the father just said, \u201cOh, go ahead and eat, don\u2019t mind us.\u201d It has happened often enough now that it\u2019s apparent on my face.I think that they know something is wrong, and I\u2019m afraid it\u2019s that they think I don\u2019t like them, which is not the case.So now, upon arrival, the father profusely says: \u201cIs this a good time?I hate to bother you.blah, blah, blah.\u201d I\u2019m writing to you in hopes that he will read your column and you can tell him for me.\u2014 Please Call First Dear Please Call First: Instead of showing your dismay through your facial expressions, just say that you don\u2019t like it when people show up unannounced.You can tell them that you love them as neighbours, and you are thrilled that they live next door, but it\u2019s just one of your pet peeves.Then, request that they call ?rst.If they don\u2019t take the hint, and continue showing up unannounced, hand them a piece of paper with your phone number and maybe a smiley face on it.Remember, keep it light, but also keep your boundaries clear.Dear Annie: I\u2019m hoping you can give me some sound advice.I live in a safe neighbourhood and get along with my neighbours.My next-door neighbour is a heavy smoker and also chews tobacco.Recently, my husband and I noticed stains on the siding of our house.We realized that our neighbour has been spitting tobacco juice from his attic onto our house.We are positive it is him.When we asked him about it, he denied it and blamed it on bird droppings.After the discussion we had with him, it stopped.It has now started again, and we don\u2019t know what to do.Should we confront him again?Please help! \u2014 Annoyed Neighbour Dear Annoyed Neighbour: Yes, you should talk with him again.Sadly, sometimes people need to be reminded twice.Now, if the second time doesn\u2019t work, I would suggest installing a camera.They are not very expensive.There is also the remote possibility that it really is bird droppings.With video, you will know for sure.Good luck.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

Now, how should South play in four spades to bring home his contract safe and sound?West leads the diamond two to his partner\u2019s ace, and East returns the diamond eight.The bidding did not reach the best contract.Maybe South should have rebid three no-trump.Still, South cannot worry about that now.What losers does he have?There seem to be only three in diamonds.How about winners?Again, at first glance, there are no worries: declarer has six spades, three hearts and the diamond king.What might go wrong?South should read West\u2019s lead.Given East\u2019s having bid diamonds twice, West\u2019s diamond two must be a singleton.So, if declarer covers East\u2019s diamond eight with his king, West will ruff.Then South will have only nine winners.Yes, he might get lucky and ruff down a singleton or doubleton club ace, but why take the risk?At trick two, South should play a low diamond, not the king.And when East continues with a third diamond, he must play low again.Then West will have to ruff to stop declarer from trumping on the board.West will shift to a club, but declarer can ruff, draw trumps and claim those 10 winners."]
