If one were to believe the media headlines, it would be easy to assume that El Nino, the warm ocean temperature phenomena in the Pacific, was a giant monster causing havoc across the continent.In fact El Nino is a regularly occurring fluctuation in ocean temperature that has been happening intermittently since the last ice age melted away 10,000 years ago.It is a climatological fact of life.It is also one of many global cycles that work in concert to influence the pressure patterns and wind flows that affect our climate.So when El Nino occurs, it does affect our weather but each El Nino year is different depending what is happening in other areas of the planet.In an El Nino winter, the Westerly j et stream, a band of winds that circle the globe like a giant snake between the Tropics and the Arctic, stay much stronger and this keeps arctic air masses further north and allows milder Pacific air to influence our region.Its good news for California and the Southern USA, as they get more rain and this helps with the drought conditions that tend to be common.It is also beneficial for the Eastern Townships in the sense that we have milder winters, which help save on the heating costs.One interesting fact is that in most El Nino years, we usually get more snow and rain than normal.This year we certainly have had the rain but the snow has been hard to come by.The reason for this is another atmospheric anomaly called the North Atlantic Oscillation of NAO for short.This is a blocking pattern that occurs in the North Atlantic.It serves as an atmospheric traffic jam causing the Jet stream to buckle.When the NAO is the negative blocking phase, storms that form on the East coast, tend to hug the coast and dump meters of snow on us.This year, without blocking, the storms have tended to go out to sea clobbering the Maritimes We still have winter and we will always have winter.As long as the Earth\u2019s axis remains tilted at 23.5 degrees and the land above the Arctic Circle experiences 24 hours of darkness, we will experience cold in the winter and snow will fall.Readers who remember the 50\u2019s, 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s know that this winter was not exceptional.We have seen winter where we were buried in snow and winters where it didn\u2019t snow until March.We have had rainy winters and ice storm winters.Variability is actually the hallmark of the Eastern Townships Weather.So where does winter go from here?It looks like Mother Nature will remind us that winter has a few more weeks to go.We won\u2019t see any major snowstorms until late in the month and the first week of March when three potential systems look like they might finally take aim on the Townships.(Blocking will happen in the North Atlantic to help this occur.) In the interim, February 8 to 11th will see normal winter temperatures (-4c) with chances for light snow each day.Then the arctic express arrives for next weekend with brutal cold (highs of -15c) on Saturday and Sunday the 13th and 14th.Milder air returns for the end of February with another cold shot in early March.Spring looks to arrive on time and it also promises to be warm!! From here the summer looks like a real summer this year.Let\u2019s hope that the long-range outlook is right!

there is someone who knows the mountain topography, and someone to carry the equipment,\u201d he said, adding that each of the artists in the collective brings their strengths to the work.Raymond Laperrière said he was part of one of the first MURURS teams back in 2002.\u201cIt\u2019s almost impossible to tell who did what,\u201d Laperrière said, adding that after one artists does a section of a mural, others are likely to go over it to add texture or more detail.\u201cYou can\u2019t carry on an attitude,\u201d he said, \u201cYou have to be humble.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s about the end product.\u201d For Laperrière, the idea of working in a group was intimidating at first, espe- cially considering the nature of the task at hand.He explained that most of the artists were accustomed to painting with oils, acrylics or other professional grade materials.\u201cWe\u2019re using exterior household paint,\u201d Laperrière said, which is very different.\u201cIt\u2019s way more liquid, it\u2019s way more transparent, and it dries in the blink of an eye,\u201d he said, adding that he had to learn quickly how to work with the medium.Malenfant said holding an exhibition at Uplands with MURIRS members made perfect sense, since the group had just finished installing 10 murals on walls in Lennoxville.Malenfant said the mural made by the MURIRS collective, in the centre of the brick wall on Queen Street facing St.Francis Manor has a historical theme, and the research for the piece was done at Uplands.The exhibition of MURIRS artists will be on display at Uplands until March 26.Visit Uplands.ca for opening hours.MATTHEW MCCULLY From left to right Raymond Laperrière, Serge Malenfant, founder and president of MURIRS and Danny Ferland standing in front ofFeûand's paintings.Piano Chameleons back at Centennial Theatre By Gordon Lambie Matt Herslcowitz and John Roney were the closing act of Centennial Theatre\u2019s Season Launch when the 2015-16 season was previewed back in September and, having wowed the crowd at the time, they are coming back this coming Wednesday to try to do it all again with a full-fledged concert.Playing together under the name Piano Chameleons, Roney and Herslcowitz draw on their respective musical experience to provide audiences with duelling piano arrangements of classical music filled with jazz improvisation inspired flair.Whereas in their autumn preview the two pianists shared a single keyboard, this time when they take on Centennial they will be doing it with each seated behind their own set of ivories.Each musician will have a camera focused on his hands, projecting an image of his work onto a screen for the whole audience to see.\u201cWhat people saw (in September) was one aspect of our show; the fun, crazy, high energy part,\u201d Herslcowitz said, \u201cbut the full show actually has a lot of different moods and variety.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s going to be fun too,\u201d Roney added, \u201cthere\u2019s definitely elements of combat and contest between the two of us.\u201d Roney called the single piano performance at the season launch a \u201ccircus act\u201d and said that by comparison the upcoming concert will have a more serious tone, but also a greater depth.Working together over the last two years, Roney and Herslcowitz have built up their own approach to and language around the process of re-arranging classical pieces.Combined with their ability to pass the music as a back and forth as an improvised melodic conversation, this results in a repertoire that is never CENTENNIAL THEATRE Piano Chameleons, Joney Roney on the left and Matt Herslcowitz on the right // exactly the same from one performance to the next.\u201cEach piece has its own character,\u201d Herslcowitz said.\u201cWe now really have a very good way of working with each other and we are very good at finding the middle ground between our two initial ideas.\u201d \u201cWhat we\u2019ve really discovered is that we both speak and understand the same harmonic language and musical language,\u201d Roney added.\u201cWe even have a weird language between us.It\u2019s a language that really only the two of us understand after having worked together over the last two years.I guess we\u2019re like a married couple in that way.\u201d Piano Chameleons play Centennial theatre Wednesday night at 8pm.RÉSIDENTS OF ESTRIE The Québec Vaccination Registry is being gradually introduced.It is an electronic database containing information on the vaccines that you have received.It enables health network professionals (e.g., physicians, nurses) to: >\tAccess your vaccination file >\tContact you in the event a batch of vaccines is recalled or if you must receive other doses of a vaccine www.msss.gouv.qc.ca/vaccination or call Services Québec at 1-877-644-4545 (toll free) To find out more, visit grogs ENSEMBLE^ 4* on fait avancer le Québec Quebec ci ca Page 4 Monday, February 8, 2016 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record \u20ac tool P age North Hatley Elementary By The North Hatley Elementary School Staff The month of January brought many activities and events that will reoccur all through the winter months in our small school.Here are just a few of them.The staff and the Home and School Association want to make sure our students are active, caring and enjoying special meals on Wednesdays.We sure don\u2019t let the winter months give us the blues!

Solar cell placement raises interesting possibilities as well, including paving roads, parking lots and bike lanes with durable panels that not only generate power but also melt ice and snow.Some experts predict solar technology could make the need for baseload power and even transmission grids obsolete.As Steve Holliday, CEO of National Grid, -\t«THEw - RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIG 1Y7 Fax: 819-821-3179 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Website : www.sherbrookerecord.com Sharon McCully Publisher .(819) 569-9511 Stephen Blake Corresp.Editor .(819) 569-6345 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman.(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 Tel: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS \t\t\tGST\tPST\tTOTAL Quebec:\t1 YEAR\t135.60\t6.78\t13.53\t$155.91 \t6 MONTHS\t71.19\t3.56\t7.10\t$81.85 \t3 MONTHS\t36.16\t1.81\t3.60\t$41.57 \tON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS\t\t\t\t Quebec:\t1 YEAR\t71.50\t3.58\t7.13\t$82.21 \t1 MONTH\t6.49\t0.32\t0.65\t$7.46 Rates for out of Quebec and for other sendees available on re-\t\t\t\t\t quest.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded 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 which operates gas and power transmission networks in the U.K.and northeastern U.S., said, \u201cFrom a consumer\u2019s point of view, baseload is what I am producing myself.The solar on my rooftop, my heat pump \u2014 that's the baseload.\u201d Solar is viable and affordable enough (especially with tax credits in jurisdictions including the U.S.) that it can be easily installed on rooftops to generate electricity for homes, public institutions and businesses.It\u2019s becoming an increasingly important part of the energy mix, especially as transmission-grid and storage-system technologies become more sophisticated and efficient.Letters Dear Editor We have just completed our fund-raiser for the Wales Home Foundation, and quite pleased to have raised $ 660.40.This is a very good amount, considering this year we only collected for 2 months.This could not be done without the support we received from you.The funds collected will help improve services.In February and March we are collecting empties for the Townshippers\u2019 Research and Cultural Foundation.The Foundation, a community-based charitable organization, is committed to supporting groups and projects that improve the quality of life.The Foundation grants funds to those who strive to bring art, music, culture, heritage, services and support to the people of the Eastern Townships.To raise funds for the Foundation, we are again, collecting returnable bottles and cans that can be dropped off at the Townshippers\u2019 Association office # 100- 257 Queen St., Lennoxville, QC, between 9:00 and 16:00.(819-566-5717).For large amounts of cans and bottles, please phone at 819-826-3929 to arrange to collect your empties.In the Richmond area, hopefully the driveway at 8 Melbourne Ave.N., Richmond will not be snowed in much longer.In the meantime, would you kindly call 819-826-3929 to arrange pick-up of your empties.We thank the Townships community for the continued support for this and other worthy causes Regards Joe Kelly Richmond Every hour, the sun bathes the Earth with enough energy to supply our needs for more than a year.There\u2019s no reason we can\u2019t harness more of it to cut back on polluting, climate-altering fossil fuels.David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.Written with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation Senior Editor Ian Hanington.Learn more at www.davidsuzuki.org. The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, February 8, 2016 Page 7 Meet Your Neighbours Drew drives with safety in mind By Matthew McCully The world is made up of all different types of people.There are those who gravitate to the stage and have a desire to perform, a prospect that would mortify others.There are people with a proficiency and a passion for numbers, which some might find tedious.And then there are people who will look at a job that to the average person looks intimidating with a frightening level of responsibility and say, hey, I think I can do that.Meet Ronald Drew, bus driver for the Eastern Townships School Board for the past 25 years.\u201cWe are reminded of the responsibility we have on the road every time we look in the mirror,\u201d Drew said, \u201cI believe every driver feels it.\u201d The Record hopped on Drew\u2019s bus halfway through the ETSB\u2019s annual bus safety campaign, \u201cDid you see me?\u201d to learn what it takes to be a school bus driver.\u201cIf it has a motor, I like getting to know it and understanding how it works,\u201d Drew said, explaining his motivation to become a bus driver.One of the biggest challenges he faced after deciding to enter the profession was finding a bus to practice.\u201cYou\u2019re doing the road test, but you\u2019re not totally comfortable,\u201d he said, explaining that on his first drive, he had to travel down King Street in Sherbrooke.\u201cThese look pretty wide the first time you have to go through traffic.\u201d Drew also pointed out that new drivers very quickly learn the difference between an empty and a full bus.The first time he had to brake suddenly was a big surprise for Drew.\u201cI was very fortunate,\u201d he said, adding that in his 25 years of driving, he has never had an incident on the road.He later admitted to running out of gas in his early days.\u201cIt only happened once,\u201d he laughed.Drew drives around 325 kilometres per day.His bus, a 2015 model, was put on the road in September of 2014, and already has 83,000 km.Before leaving the yard every morning, Drew has a 20-item check list to go through and fill out in detail, inspecting all the lights, mirrors and fluids.His bus also goes to the garage every 3,000 km for an inspection and safety verification.- CANADIAN RED CROSS QUÉBEC MATTHEW MCCULLY Ron Drew; bus driver for the Eastern Townships School Board for 25 years a Drew also has to do a refresher course every three years in order to maintain his right to drive.\u201cI have to say it\u2019s a wake-up call even for myself,\u201d he said, adding that he follows 98 percent of the safety protocols just because of routine.\u201cIt\u2019s good to remember.\u201d \u201cThe job\u2019s getting better, there are creature comforts now,\u201d Drew said, referring to his heated seat, the air suspension system, the automatic transmission, and the intercom system so that he never needs to yell.Drew described busses when he first started driving as little more than trucks with seats.Drivers are now given cell phones as well, so that they can call for help if there is a breakdown or problem.Drew is also a big fan of the cameras, now equipped on busses.According to Drew, some drivers interpret the cameras as a lack of trust.Drew said he would rather have the camera than have to defend a decision where there was a discrepancy between what he reported and what was said at home.The cameras also capture audio, he added.Regarding his passengers, Drew said it is very rare that they will be defiant.Dealing with elementary level students often requires repeating, but in general, he said his students are respectful.\u201cYou deal with the small problems quickly to avoid larger problems,\u201d he said.Foul language is not tolerated on Drew\u2019s bus, and disrespect and harassment is something he pays close attention to and addresses quickly.Even with the bus running perfectly, his training up to date, and the passengers are behaving well Drew still has the road and other drivers to contend with.The ETSB territory is vast, and drivers can deal with many different issues during a run.He said that during one trip, in the span of an hour, Drew drove through rain, freezing rain and snow at different elevations.\u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to be the one making the decision,\u201d Drew said, regarding school cancellations.He added that every driver in the fleet has the right to make their own call.If the weather in their area is dangerous and they refuse to do the run, Drew said the board will trust the judgment of the driver.One of the biggest safety issues men- tioned by Drew is other cars on the road.\u201cOther drivers are willing to take unreasonable risks to not be caught behind a bus,\u201d Drew said.\u201cI\u2019ve seen some unbelievable things,\u201d he added.Just last Friday, a small vehicle was so desperate to pass and so close to the back of the bus, that Drew was forced to pull over and let the driver pass, even though the rule is to stay on the road.\u201cYou could see the intensity building in the mirror,\u201d Drew said.He let the driver pass, but took the license plate number and filed a report with the SQ.\u201cIn all things, common sense has to come into play,\u201d Drew said, adding that he will hold his ground unless he can see a potentially dangerous situation developing.\u201cEven parents want the bus to be driven safely, to get the kids to school safely, but they don\u2019t want to be stuck behind it,\u201d Drew said.\u201cI\u2019m more comfortable with this vehicle than any other vehicle I have,\u201d Drew said, because of all the time he spends driving the bus.He pointed out that among the ETSB drivers, 40 of them have over 10 years of experience.Drew said he has had ride-alongs interested in entering the field.On one occasion, after a day and a half, the trainee said \u2018this is not for me,\u2019 adding that he had trouble sleeping after the first night, overwhelmed by the level of responsibility.\u201cThey\u2019re big machines, but you\u2019ve got to feel when you\u2019re behind the wheel that you have it under control,\u201d Drew said, adding that with time, drivers gain more confidence in their abilities.\u201cThere\u2019s no room for error; everything has to be right.\u201d Drew said one of his biggest fears would be a child, that has gotten on and off the bus the same way dozens of times, one day stops to tie their shoe, or drops something near the wheel of the bus and bends down to get it.\u201cThe golden rule is when you are loading and unloading, there is no rush in that process,\u201d he said, adding that doing a headcount is critical.The bus safety campaign will continue throughout this week, encouraging drivers to be mindful of school busses and their precious cargo.Make a donation or become a volunteer WWW.REDCROSS.CA 2016 Calendars still available!\t The Record has produced a beautiful 2016 Calendar with scenes from the Townships.\t Only $5i while quantities last\tÈtëgÊL\tm Drop by our office at 1195 Galt St.East, Sherbrooke or 5-B Victoria, Knowlton to pick up your calendar\t \t Page 8 Monday, February 8, 2016 newsroom@sherbrooker ecor d.com The Record Official opening of Mousquiri tournament Friday in Richmond By Claudia Villemaire With the Fusilliers de Sherbrooke Regiental Band presenting their best, toe-tapping music and the Richmond Branch 15, Royal Canadian Legion trooping in the colors, making their traditional appearance at official opening ceremonies for the 53rd tour- nament scheduling 52 teams and over 500 Atom-age minor hockey players during the fourteen day event the almost filled stands were treated to an official opening Friday evening with plenty of color and ceremonies that have become traditional.Opening ceremonies have evolved over the years into an event filled with all the pomp and ceremony organizers can muster, including the official welcome and opening by the president, Guillaume Cayer-Richard, a serious moment with bilingual prayers by the team captains, introduction with lots of fan fare of each player from the two teams playing on this night of nights, and presentation of the Rene Thibault Award of ASK THE EXPERTS.ASK THE EXPERTS.ASK THE EXPERTS.ASK THE EXPERTS.REAL ESTATE HOUSE OF THE WEEK Country Beautifully well maintained one owner home only minutes from Lennoxville.Over 2 acres of well landscaped land.Large workshop/barn, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.Call me for a visit!

rebounds to lead the Bishop\u2019s Gaiters on Saturday night in the back end of a home-and-home series with the Concordia Stingers.Despite the effort, Concordia was able to hold on for a tight 63-60 victory in the final minutes of the contest.The win was the second in three days for the Stingers who beat Bishop\u2019s 72-53 on Thursday night in Montreal in RSEQ University men\u2019s basketball.Harvey, the Saint-Bruno, Que.native, was a key cog for Bishop\u2019s who battled throughout the game on Saturday night.He and fellow rookie Abdul Kamane of Montreal helped pace the Gaiters in front of a boisterous Mitchell Gymnasium crowd.Kamane scored 11 points and grabbed five rebounds while adding a steal and shooting 6-8 from the free throw line.Veteran Jona Bermillo, also from Montreal equaled Kamane\u2019s 11 points but did so while shooting just 5-18 from the field.Bermillo, who went scoreless in Thursday\u2019s contest added seven rebounds and five assists in Saturday\u2019s thriller.Bishop\u2019s out-rebounded the Stingers 43-37 and took 12 more field goal attempts than their visitors in the back end of the home-and-home series.The noticeable differences came from behind the arc where Concordia was 7-22 while Bishop\u2019s only mustered a 2-15 performance.The Stingers were also 17-28 Phoenix Sink the Océanie at Home for 3-1 Win By Dylan Konecny After cutting their road trip short earlier this week due to electrical issues at the Centre Henry-Leonard in Baie-Comeau.The Phoenix returned home to the Palais des Sports Léopold-Drolet to play the Rimouski Océanie.In the previous contests earlier this season the two teams have proved to be an even match for each other with both teams winning a game against the other in extra time.Former Phoenix goalie Alexandre Lagacé would make the start in net for the Océanie hoping to beat his former team in his old rink.After facing an onslaught of shots from the Phoenix early on, Lagacé would stand tall keeping the puck out of the Rimouski net and the game tied.For the Phoenix, the combination of Kay Schw-eri and Daniel Audette with bruising forward Nicolas Poulin proved to be very effective.In the first period the trio of forwards displayed great chemistry gaining multiple scoring chances and keeping the Rimouski defence on their toes.Despite a total of 22 shots, the first period would end with both goalies perfect.Evan Fitzpatrick stopped the nine shots he faced and Lagacé made 13 saves of his own in the first twenty minutes.Sherbrooke started the second frame at a disadvantage after Julien Bahl was called for cross checking at the closing moments of the first, the penalty forced the Phoenix onto the defence to start the second.However, with seven seconds left in their power play the Océanie would take a careless too many men penalty on a line change at 1:53 putting the Phoenix on the man advantage but were unable to capitalize on the power play opportunity.The first half of the game was marked by bad puck luck and missed chances with both teams struggling to beat the goalies.All that would change midway through the second period when the Phoenix struck twice for goals less than thirty seconds apart to take a 2-0 lead over Rimouski.Nicolas Poulin tallied the first goal after tipping in a point shot from Nathanael Halbert at 8:46.Then off the face-off, Chase Harwell broke past defenders into the offensive zone with speed and was able to set up Hugo Roy in front of the net to score his 6th goal of the year at 9:15.Late in the period Schweri would be hauled down on a breakaway by Simon Bourque prompting the referee to call for a penalty shot for hooking at 19:39.Despite a dazzling deke the puck would be kept out of the net by Lagacé on the penalty shot.Phoenix defenceman Nathanael Halbert assisted on both goals in the second period making for a rare multipoint shift, recording his 10th and 11th assists of the year.The 20-year-old defenceman from Markham Ontario was acquired by Sherbrooke from the Armada before the trade deadline in late December and has proven to be a valuable part of the Phoenix defensive corps.Logging big minutes for the team and being trusted to play in key situations for the team by Coach Stéphane Julien.Both teams would trade chances to start the third.However, the Phoenix would strike again on the power play at 12:20 when Guillaume Gauthier finished off a nice tic tac toe play with Poulin and Schweri to give the Phoenix a 3-0 lead.Rimouski would eventually get on the board to cut into the Phoenix lead with a power play goal of their own at 14:12, after Simon Bourque was able to sneak a wrist shot past Fitzpatrick making it 3-1.The Phoenix would go on from there to close out the game with the win to a loud applause from the home fans.Evan Fitzpatrick made 31 saves in the win for the Phoenix while Lagacé made 34 saves for Rimouski.Sherbrooke will next play the Armada at home Wednesday night at 7pm.from the charity stripe while the Gaiters connected on 11 of 17 attempts.Ken Beaulieu of Longueuil, Que.led all scorers with 15 points for Concordia while former Gaiter Jaleel Webb of Pier-refond, Que.netted 14.The two players had 12 and 16 respectively on Thursday night.Michael Fosu, the Montreal native, was held in check on Saturday after scoring 22 points in game one.Kamane was the only Gaiter in double figures on Thursday night with 13 and he also grabbed nine rebounds in the loss.The sweep of the home-and-home se- ries makes six straight wins for the Stingers who sit tied atop the RSEQ standings with a record of 8-4.Next up for the Gaiters who fell to 2-10 are the UQAM Citadins (6-6) on Friday, Feb.12.Tip-off is at 8 p.m.in Mitchell Gym and will be part of the annual Shoot for the Cure event hosted by the women\u2019s basketball team.The Gaiters will combine their efforts and raise money for the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.Stay up-to-date anytime with the Gaiters at

Dr.Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.Lennoxville Golden Age Club February 2 - On a beautiful spring-like day, members gathered at the Lennoxville United Church hall for a fun afternoon of cards.Six tables of 500 were played.The afternoon passed quickly, and it was time for everyone to gather around the supper tables that were decorated in a Valentine theme by Joan and Dean.Pat welcomed everyone, and introduced our two guests, Mr.Eric Porter from Waterdown, Ontario, and Mrs.Eleanor Elston from Orangeville, Ontario.Pat asked the blessing, and 56 members and guests enjoyed a delicious meal of spaghetti and hearty meat sauce, Caesar salad, with white and whole-wheat rolls.Pat announced the February birthdays, and Billy served red velvet cupcakes with butter cream frosting and heart shaped sprinkles in honour the birthday celebrants.Billy\u2019s assistant, Chantal, plays an important role in the preparation of our meals, so we must give thanks to both Chantal and Billy, for this tasty and most enjoyable meal.Winners of the card games were: Ladies high went to Margaret Cheal with a score of 4980, Ladies low went to Jean Rourlce with a score of 3220.Gents high went to Stan Brown with a score of 5380, and Gents low went to Wayne Nutbrown with a score of 3020.Pat gave an update on two members on our sick list.We were glad to hear that Elsie Moore is at her home now, and is doing well.Unfortunately, Mary Proulx is back in the hospital, and we send get well wishes to her, and all our members who are under the weather at this time.Door prizes were won by Gwen Bayley, Mary Lou Burns, Margaret Vintinner, and George Martel.Joan\u2019s goodies/centerpieces went home with Shirley Patton, Jean Naylor, Robert Hall, Monica Mosberger, Alberta Crawford, and Ginette Provencher.In my previous write-up, I omitted to say that Irene Humphrey asked the blessing at that particular meeting.This was an oversight on my part, and I apologize to Irene.Many thanks to the hands who made the kitchen clean up go smoothly today.We will play Military Whist at our next meeting, so anyone who wishes to play is asked to bring in an unwrapped item from home for the prize table.Submitted by Joan Cruickshank RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 400 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\u2019s paper, call 819-569-4856 between 1 p.m.and 5 p.m.Sunday.For Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday\u2019s edition, call 819-569-4856 or fax 819-569-1187 (please call to confirm transmission) or e-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, February 8, 2016 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record I have retired twice, but being ignored has hurt so much that I have gone back to work MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2016 Dear Annie: Shortly after I had knee surgery, I went to the library wearing my (prescribed) compression wrap to prevent blood clots.This compression wrap makes an intermittent humming sound.A few minutes after entering, the librarian walked over and asked what the humming noise was.I showed her the compression wrap and said that the medical equipment was prescribed by my surgeon.She then asked me if I could turn it off.I did, but I wasn\u2019t happy about it.After leaving the library, I turned the compression wrap back on and went to the post office next door.I asked the postal employee if the noise bothered her and she said it was perfectly OK to wear it in the post office.Tell me, Annie.If a library patron were using an oxygen tank, would the librarian ask the person to turn off the oxygen, which makes more noise than the compression wrap?What should I have said, after explaining why I was wearing the compression wrap?Wasn\u2019t she in the wrong to expect me to turn off medical equipment?\u2014 Illinois Library Patron Dear Patron: Libraries are supposed to be quiet places (although we get plenty of letters saying otherwise).Nonetheless, most libraries these days have areas where some conversation and even cellphone use is permitted.Someone probably complained about the noise from your compression wrap, but a piece of medical equipment should be tolerated.If necessary, the librarian could have directed you to a more relaxed space.You can phone the library and ask about their noise policy and explain what happened.We think you deserve an apology.Dear Annie: Please tell me whether I am overreacting.We had a very special surprise birthday in an upscale restaurant for my husband\u2019s 90th birthday.Reluctantly, I invited his first wife\u2019s niece and nephew.The first wife passed away several years ago.(I am his third wife.) During the dinner, this couple stood up and spoke to the assembled guests about my husband\u2019s courtship and marriage to the first wife.This went on for about 12 minutes, dragging down an otherwise joyful occasion.I considered this to be extremely crude and rude, and thought it showed very poor manners.What do you think?\u2014 Third Wife Dear Wife: We think the couple could have found a better time to express these thoughts.Had it been your anniversary party, this would be in extremely poor taste.However, it was a celebration of your husband\u2019s birthday, and all good memories are to be cherished.His late wife poses no threat to you, and it is natural for your husband to recall her fondly and for her relatives to make the effort to remind him of her.They may have assumed that, with another wife in between, you would not mind too much.Either way, please be the bigger person and let this go.It serves no purpose to hold a grudge or continue to be annoyed.You look so much better when you are gracious about such things.Dear Annie: All of my life, I\u2019ve heard about the \u201cgolden years.\u201d Why are mine only black and gray?Annie\u2019s Mailbox I have been married to my husband for 40 years.He has not been sexually capable for half that time.I understand that, but he also does not want to kiss me, hold me, talk to me, go to bed with me or get up in the morning with me.He puts his arm around my shoulders only in church.Everyone in town considers him \u201cMr.Nice Guy.\u201d He takes care of widows, single women, the older gentleman he works with and our daughter and grandchildren \u2014 particularly the oldest grandson and our only granddaughter.He doesn\u2019t pay much attention to our son.I have retired twice, but being ignored has hurt so much that I have gone back to work again.I have begged him to talk with me, but he\u2019d rather watch TV.Everyone wants to be special at some time in his or her life, Annie, and I am almost suicidal.I want out.It hurts so much to not be loved that I would prefer to live alone.It\u2019s painful to sit and read, hoping that he will notice me.I know that not all men are like this because I see others kissing and embracing their wives, and I hear their wives talk about their romantic lives.I have been faithful, sharing and supportive for all of these years.I have never asked him for anything.What can I do except to play solitaire and cry?\u2014 A.Dear A.: Has your husband always been like this?His lack of affection does not necessarily mean that he doesn\u2019t love you.But if he does, he obviously doesn\u2019t know how to express it and seems unwilling to learn.No one deserves to be so unhappy for the rest of her life.We know this sounds like a broken record, but counseling will help you.Tell your husband you need to find out whether the marriage is worth saving.Explain exactly why you are ready to leave.Ask him to go with you for counseling to work on the problem, but if he refuses, go alone.Dear Annie: I am writing to address a problem that seems to be getting worse.As a young driver, I observed that other drivers on the road would flash their high beams at another driver to let that person know their high beams were on by mistake.But nowadays, it is more common for drivers to simply turn their high beams on and leave them shining in the person\u2019s windshield until the offending driver turns their own high beams down.This strikes me as very rude and is probably a reflection of a society that is increasingly more prone to road rage.Please remind your readers that it is much kinder to simply flash the high beams rather than locking them in.Courtesy is not that difficult.Thank you.\u2014 Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: We\u2019re going to assume that those who shine their high beams into another car simply do not understand appropriate road etiquette.You click them on and off a couple of times, folks, and that\u2019s it.It alerts the other driver that their beams are on high (or their headlights aren\u2019t on at ah).Don\u2019t belabor the point.Dear Annie: Twenty five years ago, my youngest son, then 18, quit the job he had had for four years.They had promised him an assistant manager job and when he turned 18, but did not follow through.After that, he would not look for a job or even help around the house.His dad told him to leave, but I let him return.Still, my son continued to do nothing, so his father insisted he get out.His father had a terrible temper and we both knew it.We were afraid of him.I knew my son was sleeping in his car, so whenever I saw him, I would give him food and blankets.I also left the back door unlocked so that when his father wasn\u2019t home, he could get into the house, warm up and eat.I know now that my son was depressed, but I didn\u2019t realize it at the time.Over the years, I kept track of his whereabouts, but he would never speak to me except in anger.He married two years ago, and I tried to reconcile through his wife, but she saw only my son\u2019s side.She did tell me that he was angry because I didn\u2019t leave with him.I admit I am a weak person with a long history of mental abuse from my husband and I was afraid to leave.I regret a lot of things, Annie, but I love my children.I sent him a card at Christmas, but his wife returned it to me ah cut up, along with a vulgar note.My older children know how things were at home and they don\u2019t blame me.They can\u2019t do anything about their brother\u2019s attitude.I am 72 years old.I don\u2019t have to be invited to my son\u2019s house.I just want to know that should I run into him, he will speak to me without anger.What can I do?\u2014 Florida Mother Dear Florida: Abusive home situations are complicated.Your son blames you for not protecting him from his angry father, but you felt helpless and, like too many abused women, chose to remain with your husband.Many kids live independently at age 18, but due to depression, your son was not ready and ended up in his car \u2014 a risky situation and one that made him feel abandoned and unloved.You cannot change the past.Until your son is ready to move forward, there is little you can do.Ask your other children to let their brother know how sorry you are and that you crave his forgiveness while there is still time.Unfortunately, there are no guarantees.We hope you can find solace in your other children.Dear Annie: \u201cStuck in San Francisco\u201d said his wife is overly dependent on her parents.That makes them part of the problem, so they should be involved in the counseling you recommended.When I needed counseling to help me cope with my father-in-law, my mother was staying with us.Because she was part of our household, she had to be at one of the counseling sessions and it made a big difference.I learned that my mother also wanted too much of my time, but I did not let that happen.I put my husband first.\u201cStuck\u2019s\u201d in-laws may not be aware of the depth of their daughter\u2019s problem, and they need to understand the damage they are doing by preventing her from maturing.\u2014 Wife of 50 Years Annie\u2019s Mailbox is
