don\u2019t worry.It\u2019s a legitimate question.Deb turns\u2026 a certain age this year, and I\u2019m a couple of years ahead of her.We\u2019re healthy, but we might as well plan ahead while we can, even though right now we couldn\u2019t pay for a funeral to save our life.\u201cI don\u2019t want to be buried,\u201d Deb answered.\u201cCremation.\u201d \u201cBut what about your ashes?What do you want us to do with them?\u201d \u201cIt depends on what the kids want.They might want a place where they can visit us.\u201d Deb\u2019s a municipal councillor now, and she likes to walk the local trail.I suggested spreading her ashes along the path during a particularly icy day, which would simultaneously honour her memory and make a civic contribution.Tribute and traction.Ross Murray \u201cDo you want a service?Visitation?\u201d \u201cNo visitation,\u201d she said.\u201cAll those people standing around.Have a party.Or a potluck.Rent a hall or something.\u201d \u201cI want a parade,\u201d I said.\u201cOkay.\u201d Easy for her to say; I\u2019ll be dead.For all I know, she could bury me lying on my stomach so that, at least in the afterlife, I\u2019ll finally stop snoring.She could sneak my ashes into a construction site, mix them into the cement, and next thing I know I\u2019m a Domino\u2019s Restaurant.(Rest in pizza.) She could bury me in the back yard along with the pets (a cat, two hamsters and counting), which actually isn\u2019t outside the realm of possibility.I won\u2019t have a say in the matter.Nor should I really.Funerals and burials aren\u2019t for the dead.They\u2019re for the living, a way for them to manage their grief, say goodbye, get free casseroles.That\u2019s why it gets under my skin (decomposition joke) when someone says, \u201cAlfred would have loved this,\u201d or, \u201cIt\u2019s what Alfred would have wanted.\u201d What Alfred really would have wanted, probably, was to still be alive.Deb and I were walking while we were having this conversation, one of those crazy long walks she likes.(Her funeral procession will be a 10K hike; \u201cDebbie would have loved this.\u201d) \u201cWhat about you?\u201d she asked.\u201cDo you want to be cremated?\u201d \u201cI think so, yeah,\u201d I said.\u201cBut what would you do with me after that?I don\u2019t want to be on a shelf.I don\u2019t want to be clutter.\u201d We have enough clutter.The thing with clutter is you stop noticing it after a while, and then one day you wind up in a garage sale for 50 cents.\u201cI can bury you in the park and build a statue of you,\u201d Deb suggested.\u201cCool.Can you enhance the statue?Know what I mean?\u2018Enhance\u2019?\u201d \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll make it really tall so the kids can swing on you.\u201d Always thinking about her community that wife of mine.(Re-elect Debbie Bishop 2021.) The conversation continued at home, circling back to consulting our children on the matter, or in this case, child.\u201cIt\u2019s up to you,\u201d Abby said.\u201cYou\u2019re the one in the ground.Or how about we throw your body in the sea.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s go on a cruise and try it out,\u201d said Deb.\u201cBut do it on the way back so at least we get our money\u2019s worth.\u201d The discussion eventually led to a contemplation with Abby on the very nature of death, whether there\u2019s an afterlife or whether all that awaits us is the black void of final, unfathomable nothingness.\u201cI want to come back as an eagle!\u201d she said.We may laugh in the shadows but there\u2019s no getting over the fact that it\u2019s death, the last thing anyone wants to deal with, except perhaps insurance.\u201cI don\u2019t want to think about this anymore,\u201d Abby said.\u201cYou\u2019re not going to die for like another 20 years.\u201d I\u2019m grateful she\u2019s at least allotted me my threescore and ten.We ended up no further ahead.No solid plans made, no novelty urns ordered, no sing-alongs selected.(\u201cFeeling Yourself Disintegrate\u201d by The Flaming Lips?) We\u2019ll have to get real about it at some point, but I do know one thing right now: no selfies with the corpse.It\u2019s what I will have would have wanted.Sherbrooke to proceed with two new parks this year Record Staff SHERBROOKE The City of Sherbrooke will get two new parks in 2018.One will be on rue de Mère-Teresa in Borough 4 (Mont-Bellevue), and the other new park will be near Lemire Rd in Borough # 2 (Fleurimont), These two projects come at an estimated cost of $425,000 that will be drawn from the 2017 Remaining Budget Envelope and the 2018 Capital Budget.The first park will be located between LaRocque School and Immaculée-Con- ception-de-la-Très-Sainte-Vierge-Marie Church.As announced last fall, the park will take up a part of Mère-Teresa Street and its layout will be integrated with the unfenced schoolyard.The park near Lemire Rd will begin at the intersection of Roger-Caron and François-Xavier-Bureau streets.The project has been on area residents\u2019 wish lists for several years and will be named \"Diane-Vaillancourt Park\", a tribute to a committed volunteer who died in 2011.The park will include play areas suitable for children up to 12-years-old, as well as swings for infants and young children.Since the adoption of the city\u2019s Parks and Green Spaces Master Plan in 2012, two new parks have been built each year in Sherbrooke.\"The year 2018 is no exception and with these two new parks, we will continue to provide a quality living environment for Sherbrooke families,\" said Sherbrooke Mayor Steve Lussier.The work required will be done in the summer of 2018 and Citizens will be able to take advantage of them by the beginning of autumn. The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday , February 8, 2018 Page 3 CHUS funding CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Mongrain, a well known Quebecois journalist and media personality who has been working with the foundation since 2003, was present to introduce the four projects chosen.\u201cThese scientists devote their lives to their research in order that ours will be better,\u201d the spokesperson said, praising the CHUS as an extraordinary research environment that is under appreciated because it is not in a large city.\u201cOxford is not in London, Cambridge is not in London; they are outside a major capital but that does not take away from the quality of their research,\u201d he said.The projects selected by the foundation are as follows: 1) Behavioural cognitive therapy to counter anxiety disorders: led by researcher Pasquale Roberge, this project aims to better address the growing needs in the world of mental health by bringing in behavioural therapy as a front-line approach.In this way, the researchers hope to improve access to and effectiveness of the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression.2) Regeneration of damaged tissues: Florian Betzinger and Dimitri Ryczko are drawing inspiration from the regenerative powers of the salamander in working to try to help the human body restore itself following massive injury or damaging diseases.Focusing specifically on spinal cord tissue at the moment, the researchers speculate that their findings could someday have positive implications for those living with diseases like muscular dystrophy or, potentially, the loss of limbs.3) Use of medical imagery for better diagnosis and personalized treatment of breast cancer: this study, led by Éric Turcotte, is the first in the world to combine two different methods of medical imaging to improve diagnostic and treatment plans for women with breast cancer.4) Medical imaging and diabetes: Doctor André Carpentier is working on finding clearer warning signs of the development of type-two diabetes using molecular imaging technology.With a better understanding of early markers for the disease, the hope is that doctors will be better placed to treat it early on, and that emergent treatments will be more effective.\u201cWe often speak of re-searchers\u201d, Mongrain said, \u201cbut here we have a group of finders.\u201d According to Sophie Warren, chair of the CHUS Foundation\u2019s board of directors, 30 per cent of the annual revenue of the foundation is given to medical research.Sophie Warren, chair of the board of the CHUS Foundation standing with researchers Florian Betzinger, Dimitri Ryczko, Pasquale Roberge, Eric Turcotte, and Andre Carpentier, as well as CHUS research centre Scientific Director William Fraser, CIUSSS de L'Estrie - CHUS Associate General Manager Johanne Turgeon, and Quebec media peronality Jean-Luc Mongrain.GORDON LAMBIE L\u2019Espérance accused of fraud, theft in private complaint Record Staff SHERBROOKE Prominent Magog businessman André L\u2019Espérance, owner of the Le Grand Cru tour boat, the Orford Express, and the OMG restaurant, has found himself in court following the filing of a private complaint accusing him of theft of more than $ 5,000 and having defrauded maintenance firm, Piervan of more than $5,000 in 2011.Piervan belongs to the Groupe Yvan Frappier.The parties involved gathered at the Sherbrooke courthouse on Tuesday morning for the laying of the charges.According to information from Radio- Canada, the alleged facts are related to the installation of the Grand Cru in Lake Memphremagog.The Crown dismissed the complaint, but the alleged victims chose to pursue a private prosecution and a judge then authorized the charges himself.As part of this complaint, the preliminary inquiry will be held before a judge with Jean-Pierre Rancourt, representing the complainant.If the judge finds the evidence sufficient, he could order a criminal trial and the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions would take over the case for further action.The case goes to court on March 26 for further proceedings.A civil suit for damages has also been filed against L'Esperance's company, Escapade Memphrémagog for having \"illegally\u201d retained the services of (Piervan employees) and used, without its knowledge, its tools and equipment.Piervan claims that Escapade Mem- phremagog acted illegally in paying Pier- van employees in cash without declaring it to the competent government authorities.Piervan is claiming nearly $73,000 from L\u2019Espérance and his company Escapades Memphrémagog for loss of income and punitive damages.

autonomous community action organizations, and an annual indexing of grants to track the increase in operating costs.The common front includes 244 different organizations in the Townships.Among them are youth centres, collective kitchens, literacy groups, rights advocates and environmental groups, to name a few.Following the brief demonstration in the morning, a larger group of demonstrators, roughly 300, gathered at the Granada Theatre on Wellington Street for a brief meeting before taking to the street at the corner of King and Wellington to make their voices heard.According to representatives from the common front, the government continues to turn a deaf ear despite several appeals for consistent funding.The assembly at the Granada featured speeches from representatives of the five umbrella groups that form the common front.According to the speakers, the government should take a preventative approach rather than a curative approach, and investment in social programs would benefit the whole of society in the long run.They added that it was unfair that community organizations be used to patch the wholes created by insufficient community support.Following the assembly, the demonstrators bundled up, and carried signs and noise makers to the corner of King and Wellington to raise their voices and demand that the upcoming provincial budget take the needs of community organizations into consideration.Community groups demonstrate Dominique Vigneux (Table ronde des organismes voluntaires d\u2019éducation populaire de l\u2019Estrie, Claudelle Cyr

Canada becomes of?cial By Geordon Omand THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA Members of Parliament broke into applause Wednesday after singing the new, gender-neutral lyrics to O Canada in the House of Commons, just hours after the change became law.The new wording became official earlier in the day, capping off a years-long effort to make the anthem more inclusive that was spearheaded by late Liberal MP Mauril Belanger.It changes the second line of the anthem\u2019s English version to \u201cin all of us command'' from \u201cin all thy sons command.\u201d Belanger died two years ago after being diagnosed with ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease.His widow, Catherine Belanger, was present in the Commons on Wednesday and said that while the road has been long she is overjoyed her husband\u2019s dying wish has been fulfilled.\u201cI\u2019m sure that Mauril is smiling down at us,\u201dshe said.\u201cMy granddaughters and I are on Cloud 9.\u201d Canadian athletes in Pyeongchang, South Korea, for the Winter Olympics sang the new version while raising the flag Wednesday morning, said Canadian Heritage Minister Melanie Joly.\u201cToday is a really good day,\u201d she said.\u201cNow, women across this country will be well reflected in their own national anthem.\u201d No extra money has been earmarked to promote the revision, which Joly said will be accomplished through her department's existing budget.Online materials will be the first to change, and Canadian Heritage will notify schools and other groups to make them aware of the updated wording.The English version of O Canada has changed multiple times since Montreal lawyer Robert Stanley Weir wrote it in the early 20th century, though not since it became the country\u2019s official national anthem in 1980.The music to O Canada was composed by Calixa Lavallee in 1880, after which Quebec judge Adolphe-Basile Routhier wrote the original French lyrics. EDITORIAL Page 6 Thursday , February 8, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record At best we are doomed to spend our declining years looking for our keys and trying to remember our spouses\u2019 maiden names.But never fear; there is hope.Many of us are at a certain age when cognitive functions start to fail.At worst, dementia looms on the horizon.At best we are doomed to spend our declining years looking for our keys and trying to remember our spouses\u2019 maiden names.But never fear; there is hope.All you have to do is renovate your kitchen.I should point out here that the love of my life (maiden name Loiselle, which is easy since she didn\u2019t changed it after we married) never met a room she didn\u2019t think could be renovated, renewed or remodeled.When I found her, several months back, standing in the middle of the kitchen gazing at the counters, cupboards and walls, I instinctively knew change was in the air.Three months later we\u2019re almost done.The fascinating thing about re-doing a kitchen is that before you start putting in the shiny new cupboards, doors and floors you have to take all the old stuff out.That\u2019s where I came in.Always looking to save money, I volunteered to do the demolition work and cart it all away to the eco-centre myself.No hired help, no dumpster rental, and a minimum of fuss.This, however, turned out to be a somewhat utopian view of the task ahead.Take the floors, for example.Note that I say floors, plural.It turned out that the original vinyl tiles had been the victim of a previous renovation.Not wanting to take the trouble of lifting them off the floor, the owners at the time merely placed new plywood on top and added a more suitably coloured tile.Some years later, a new owner took exception to that colour in turn and covered it with another layer of plywood and new tiles.We now had a choice.Take out two layers of plywood and three layers of tile or do as the others had done, just add on.The latter, unfortunately would have also necessitated the installation of stairs leading from the den and the dining room up into the kitchen, so removal it was.At this point you are probably wondering what all this has to do with improving cognitive function.It\u2019s simple.To take up the floors the counters had to come out along with the refrigerator, stove, dish washer, microwave and the entire contents of the cupboards.All of this was distributed to adjacent rooms filling every available space, nook and cranny.Luckily the stove could be shuffled around the kitchen and plugged in for the preparation of meals.It became immediately apparent that we had become accustomed to moving in a certain direction to locate essential items that were no longer there.Nothing is quite as disconcerting as turning to the refrigerator to find a blank space where it had once stood and realizing it was now in the dining room.Searching out cutlery, which had once been stored next to the stove, became an adventure that involved a three-room hunt.Bread and muffins were on the bookshelves and frying pans in the garage.If you wanted water it was off to the bathroom.If you needed a wine glass check behind the living room sofa.To further complicate matters, She Who Must Be Obeyed insisted on rearranging the placement of various items on a daily basis insisting that the new positioning made more sense.What it meant, however, was that no sooner had I become accustomed to finding mixing bowls in a box on the floor of the den next to the flour and rice containers, than they appeared behind the plant stand in the hallway.Life has become a daily, mental and directional challenge.Like a laboratory rat seeking out the cheese at the end of a maze I move from room to room in search of whatever item I require at any given time.With each successful discovery I also, like the test animal, experience a burst of endorphins that brings a glow of pleasure.In short, my mind and memory are being challenged on a daily basis in a way that Sudoku puzzles and crosswords can\u2019t begin to match.The only question is, what room will we do next?Tim Belford The cognitive benefits of home renovation 6 Mallory,

Thursday , February 8 , 2018 Page 7 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com By discussing historical topics such as slavery and the underground railroad, students realize the full extent of the meaning and importance of perseverance.The Border Report By Clea Corman February is Black History Month, and at Phelps, we took the opportunity to talk about this subject with our elementary students during our literacy lesson on Tuesday.In Quebec, we are also heading towards Hooked on School week, when the importance of perseverance is showcased.In a small rural community, Black History Month is an opportunity to learn about a different culture.By discussing historical topics such as slavery and the underground railroad, students realize the full extent of the meaning and importance of perseverance.Phelps\u2019 literacy lesson this week, with the help of a book called Henry\u2019s Freedom Box, challenged students to think about the realities of a different time in history.Our students talked about hope, courage and family, noting the importance of freedom.Phelps Aide Phelps Helps is a rural community non-profit striving to reduce the elevated drop-out rate in the Stanstead area.Phelps was started in 2012 by two community members, and has grown from a single program to seven unique programs, providing Stanstead area youth with free tutoring, educational and career support and hands-on learning from Grade 3 to the end of high school and further.For more information or to volunteer, please email us at info@phelpshelps.ca, visit our website www.phelpshelps.ca or call our offices at 819-704-0799.Today we would like to introduce two of our cats, Snow and Rey.They do not have to be adopted together.Snow and Rey are not related and they arrived at our shelter weeks apart but they do share a common bond.Both were living on the streets of Montreal and both were fortunate enough to find their way to Tiffany's back balcony.Tiffany is an amazing individual who, in the past few years alone, has rescued well over 30 stray cats.She feeds and shelters them and once she has gained their trust, she coaxes them indoors.Tiffany often has them vetted at her own expense and will either find them a home or have them placed with a rescue.When we can, we are glad to lend a hand.Yes it takes a village, but never underestimate the positive difference each and every one of us can make in the life of a homeless animal.Snow is a lovely cat who is lucky to be alive.As with all new arrivals, we immediately took him to our vet only to discover he was suffering from a severe urinary tract infection (UTI).Without treatment, not only would Snow have endured terrible pain but he would have eventually succumbed to the infection.Happily, brighter days were ahead for this handsome fellow.He is now fully recovered and patiently waiting his turn to find his very own forever family.At approximately 3.5 years old, Snow is a very easy going cat with a gentle and affectionate nature.He has an endearing way about him and we just know he will be an appreciative and engaged companion.If you are looking for a sweet, friendly, loving and elegant cat with whom to share your life, please consider Snow.Because of his UTI , Snow will require a special diet of urinary food for the rest of his life.The food can be easily purchased at any vet and is no more expensive than most quality foods.You can also speak to your own vet about other dietary options.Rey, is a great cat.He is an absolute love bug who quickly won over our vet and her entire team.They couldn't get over how loving and affectionate he is and they meet a lot of cats! Rey, like Snow is a happy and easy going cat who is chatty and quite gregarious.Since being released into our colony he is proving to be quite chill and interacts well with the others cats.Rey, who is approximately 3, is a beautiful tabby who has the most lovely butterfly markings on his back just below his neck.He is good natured and friendly and given how quickly he adapted to his shelter routine, once adopted, he will no doubt be right at home in no time.If you have room in your home and in your heart for one (or both!) of these cats and would like to inquire about adoption, please send an email to frontieran- imalsociety@gmail.com or call the shelter at 819.876.7785.To meet Snow and Rey or any of our adoptable cats, please consider dropping by our cat adoption open house which takes place every Saturday from 10 a.m to noon at 2405 Griffin (Route 247) in Ogden.Visits by appointment can also be arranged.Frontier Animal Society Featured pets: Snow and Rey Page 8 Thursday , February 8, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record By Dan Heyman Now that Ford has begun rolling out its all-new, aluminum-bodied Expedition for the masses, it\u2019s time we switch our focus to that model\u2019s luxury variant, the Lincoln Navigator.Like the Expedition, it\u2019s got an aluminum-alloy body as well as a single powertrain: a 3.5L EcoBoost turbo mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and AWD.That\u2019s your only choice in Canada; Americans get a RWD model.It\u2019s available in two trims \u2013 Select (MSRP $87,500) and Reserve (MSRP $90,500) \u2013 each of which can be had in either short- or long-wheelbase form (long wheelbase models cost $90,500 and $93,500, respectively).Here\u2019s the thing, though; when I sampled the Expedition in late 2017, it was so good that I actually found myself wondering what the heck the Navigator would do to move the chains enough to warrant earning luxury brand status, as well as a $3,651 price jump at base over the top-spec Expedition Max long wheelbase.Aluminum digs As mentioned before, the Navigator now has an aluminum-alloy body.You can feel the weight savings as soon as you open the doors (and no; they aren\u2019t of the gull- wing variety as seen on the Navigator Concept at the 2016 New York Auto Show); they\u2019re light to the point where I found myself slamming them overly hard on more than one occasion.The other place where you can really tell the difference is when lifting the hood.While only about 0.00006 per cent of eventual Navigator owners are going to do this more than twice a year, it does well to demonstrate just how much has changed after the switch to aluminum.  While it remains a little heavier than the Expedition, it still sets off from a standstill with gumption, even ferocity if you leave it in the \u201cExcite\u201d drive mode.Yes; \u201cExcite\u201d is the actual name, and it joins Conserve, Normal, 4x4 Auto Normal, Slippery, Deep Conditions and Slow Climb, all of which can be accessed by spinning the console-mounted wheel.As an added bonus, the gauge cluster changes depending on what mode you\u2019re in; \u201cNormal\u201d, for example, leaves you with a single gauge \u2013 the speedometer \u2013 which is cool in that only the speed you\u2019re going lights up as all the other numbers \u2018round the speedo stay hidden.It\u2019s a neat way of helping drivers focus on their speed.Then, when you switch to \u201c4x4 Auto Normal\u201d, you get a tach, too, so you can get a better look at what the powertrain\u2019s up to.The fact that each switch is accompanied by a different hi-res graphic is icing on the cake.You may wonder why I\u2019m spending so much time discussing something as trivial as a gauge cluster, but I do so because it serves as a nice microcosm for how the Navigator is upping the ante in the luxury SUV game.There\u2019s also a head-up display that\u2019s wider than any I\u2019ve seen previous, and what it shows (and where; it\u2019s height- adjustable) can be adjusted though steering wheel-mounted buttons, which I rather like.The interior does well to echo the exterior styling, with its slab-ish-but-handsome door panels and hood, grille with illuminating Lincoln star logo and standard 22\u201d rims, which get an even classier design if you select the Reserve model.  Seats fit for a king Of course, that blingy stuff is all well and good, but at this level, you need to ensure that the occupants are comfortable, too.In the case of the Navigator, it starts with the multi-contour seats which are adjustable about a million ways from Sunday.There are Mercedes-esque door- mounted seat controls, yes, but that\u2019s only half the story.The rest of the seat adjustments are made through the 10-inch infotainment display, which includes three different lumbar adjustments, two sets of side bolsters and if you\u2019ve selected the optional Perfect Position seats, you get massaging seats up front, too.The second row, meanwhile, can slide forward and back but unfortunately, there\u2019s no massage feature there.That may seem like an extraneous complaint, but when you\u2019re buying a $100K luxury SUV, a massaging second row would be a nice option to have.Better you make the third row more easily accessed, which Lincoln has done by employing the same tilt-and-slide second- row seating seen in the Expedition.Now, you can leave a baby seat installed in the second row and are still able to access the third row.Which, as it happens, is surprisingly roomy and should have no trouble accommodating most adults, let alone the kids that are more likely to be sitting there.You get the same amount of room back there whether you\u2019re in the long- or short- wheelbase model; the extra length only improves rear cargo space, to the tune of 3,407 litres of total space if you flatten both the second- and third-row seats, and 1,019 behind the third row.Short wheelbase models get a total of 2,929 litres, and 591 behind the third row.  Speaking of the kids: They\u2019ll likely be impressed by the optional ($2,350) Lincoln Play rear seat entertainment system, which adds dual 10-inch tablet-like displays that can link with mobile devices and access video streaming apps such as Netflix.That\u2019s a big plus, and up to 10 devices can be paired to the vehicle\u2019s 4G LTE hotspot, or to one of the 12 (!) available USB ports, including two in the third row.If that\u2019s not enough, wireless charging comes standard.The included headphones, however, do well to sound like a part of the fantastic Revel Audio system.Available in both 14- and 20- speaker configurations with three audio modes \u2013 Traditional, On-Stage and Audience \u2013 this is a very rich-sounding system that\u2019s been developed from the get-go to work within the confines of the Navigator\u2019s various door panels et cetera.It\u2019s all controlled via the responsive SYNC3 touch screen that also has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.Still one of the best systems in the biz.  EcoBoost for all The Navigator\u2019s take on the 3.5L EcoBoost turbo V6 is good for 450 hp and a somewhat startling 510 lb-ft of torque, the latter available at 3,000 rpm.Forget the Ford Expedition; those are Ford Raptor figures, and more than what the heavier Cadillac Escalade makes.It does a good job of disguising the extra weight the Navigator has over its Ford cousin (which makes 375 hp and 470 lb-ft), especially at launch when the AWD grip, 10-speed auto (operated via buttons mounted in the bottom left quadrant of the centre stack; works rather well and looks the part) and boosted engine all come together in response to stomping your right foot.A car that looks this hefty and slab-like shouldn\u2019t feel this light on its feet, but it does.Helping the cause in the \u201cathleticism\u201d department is the standard adaptive suspension, which can change its settings on the fly depending on driver inputs and what\u2019s going on beneath the vehicle.It takes a lot to keep a body like this in check, and these dampers do a good job \u2013 for the most part.The more aggressive turns will still lead to a little more body roll than I\u2019d like to see, and you\u2019d have to think the addition of some self-levelling air suspension would be nice to have.Alas, it\u2019s not even an option for 2018, though we wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we saw something like it for the \u201919 model year.   One thing that doesn\u2019t need any adjustment, really, is the way unwanted noises such as road noise or wind noise are metered out; all manner of electronic and engineering trickery such as noise-cancella- tion tech and double-laminated windshield and side glass has been employed to ensure the drive is as serene as possible, and they hit the bullseye.According to Lincoln, the Navigator has the quietest interior in its lineup.In addition to electronic noise reduction and that great infotainment system, Lincoln offers pretty much any electronic driver aid you could ask for.If you\u2019re willing to pay, that is.Blind spot warning, for- ward-sensing system and backup camera are all standard, but you have to pony up an extra $3,000 for the Tech Package, which provides lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and go, heads-up display and pre-collision assist.This is a vehicle that costs almost 90 grand at base; certain parts of that package \u2013 namely adaptive cruise and lane-keep assist \u2013 should come as standard.Even if you select the top-flight reserve trim, you have to pay to add that tech package.  Fully-realized The bottom line is that with the Navigator, we\u2019re being treated to yet another piece of fine engineering from Lincoln, which continues to ride the wave of momentum created by the MKC, MKX (renamed Nautilus for 2019) and Continental before this.The 2018 Navigator looks the part, it kept us in supreme comfort when, uh, navigating over some wintry mountain passes and it comes laden with tech, not to mention the fabulous 30-posi- tion seats.2018 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive: Aluminum for the win PHOTO: D.HEYMAN 1205 Wellington St.S.569-5959 563-0036 Have a problem?Talk to Fernand! Locally installed.Nationally guaranteed IMPORTS WELCOME HERE! 5 3 6 6 4 CAA-Québec calls for tougher Highway Code revision Record Staff SHERBROOKE CAA-Quebec is endorsing measures proposed by the Quebec government to update the Highway Safety Code, but questions the lack of administrative penalties for drinking and driving with a blood alcohol content above 0.05 and the maintenance of the status quo in terms of demerit points for distracted driving.In a communiqué released Wednesday, CAA-Québec Vice- president of communications Sophie Gagnon says, \"Administrative penalties for levels between 0.05 and 0.08, such as a 24-hour license suspension, are in effect in every other Canadian province and it's very clear, they work! They save saves lives and avoid tragedies.It is time for us to move forward as well.\u201d \"When we know that the vast majority of the 15,000 driver's licenses suspended each year for impaired driving are linked to a first offense, it is easy to understand that the introduction of administrative measures would have an extremely deterrent effect for those who walk a fine line,\u201d she added.CAA-Quebec applauds that the new measures target recidivism by requiring convicted drivers to equip their vehicles with an alcohol ignition interlock, but suggests that this kind of awareness for all drivers is desirable.Administrative measures allow this to occur without criminal consequences.\"Such measures may be unpopular,\u201d says Marco Harrison, Director of the CAA-Quebec Foundation,\u201dbut it is up to the government to put the effort into making them socially acceptable.As such, we believe that the improvements made in the balance sheets in other provinces are the best argument.If the measure works, what are we waiting for?\" The government is also proposing more severe punishments for repeat offenders in terms of seatbelt and electronic device use by increasing fines.However, CAA-Québec considers it unfortunate that no additional impact in terms of demerit points is included in the new proposals \"A heavier fine will make you think for how long?\u201d asks Gagnon.\u201cOne week?By all means review the fines, but we believe that this alone is insufficient to change behaviour.The accumulation of demerit points has a direct impact on insurance rates for two years.And the threat of losing your driver's license makes you think.\" On Wednesday, CAA-Quebec presented eleven recommendations during consultations on Bill 165 regarding the revision of the Highway Safety Code.Its brief is available on the CAA-Québec website.Brompton winter carnival Record Staff SHERBROOKE The entire population of Sherbrooke is invited to the 15th Brompton Snow Day this Saturday, February 10, from 1 to 4 p.m.at Parc Nault, on Saint-Jean-Baptiste St.A number of activities will be offered throughout the afternoon including inflatable games, free hockey and lucky throw, skating, sliding, snowshoeing, fat bike, a mini-zipline, horse drawn carriage ride, a campfire, a creative workshop, and a small disc golf course.Snacks will also be provided on site and all activities are free of charge.

to be a distraction.Playoff prospects bleak as Canadiens soldier on through losing season By Bill Beacon The Canadian Press The chances of making a late charge for a playoff spot are so slim the Montreal Canadiens don't really think about it much these days.Sitting 14th in the 16-team NHL Eastern Conference with a 22-25-6 record, they are only eight points behind Columbus who hold the final playoff spot, but there are five teams to climb over to catch them.Even a pair of wins at home last weekend didn't get them past any rivals.\u201cFor us now, we're just trying to focus on what we need to do,\u201d forward Brendan Gallagher said this week.\u201cThere's so much that needs to go right here, all we can control is ourselves.\u201cIf we focus on that, you can be proud of your work at the end of the day.We played pretty good the last couple of games and hopefully we can keep that going.\u201d The Canadiens are back in action Thursday in Philadelphia, where the 25- 19-9 Flyers are currently in a wild card playoff spot despite going 1-3-1 in their last five outings.Goalie Brian Elliott returned from a lower-body injury Tuesday night for a 2-1 overtime win over Carolina to end the Flyers' four-game skid.Montreal got a boost from victories of 5-2 over Anaheim and 4-1 over Ottawa in afternoon games Saturday and Sunday after scoring only once in two road losses last week.They chased Anaheim starter Ryan Miller in the first period and used a hot power play, which went five-for-10 on the weekend to move up to seventh best in the NHL with a 21.6 per cent success rate, to beat the Senators.But even captain Max Pacioretty cautioned against getting overly excited.\u201cWe know the situation,\u201d he said.\u201cWe chased the goalie early against Anaheim and Ottawa has been struggling, but still we want some momentum in our game, especially individuals, to build off that and contribute to more wins.\u201cWe know in a couple of days (against the Flyers) there's going to be a little less space out there.Our power play's been really good of late.That's been the difference.\u201d Canadiens fans are divided these days.Some want them to lose games and finish as low as possible to boost their chances for a high draft pick.Many are clamouring for a rebuild of a team that will almost certainly miss the playoffs for the second time in three seasons.And most expect that general manager Marc Bergevin will soon start dealing veteran players like Pacioretty and centre Tomas Plekanec to Stanley Cup contenders for draft picks and prospects.Bergevin is also under the gun for letting forward Alexander Radulov and de- fenceman Andrei Markov leave as free agents and not filling a gaping hole by finding a top-line centre, all while his prize off-season acquisition Jonathan Drouin struggles to adapt to playing at centre.The defence is a mess, especially with top rearguard Shea Weber out with a foot injury since December.They are 27th in goals scored per game at 2.58 and eighth worst in goals allowed at 3.06.Coach Claude Julien surely had no idea it would be like this when, a week after being fired by Boston last Feb.7, he signed on with Montreal.Last season, the Canadiens had 103 points to finish first in the Atlantic division, although the attack went south as they fell to the New York Rangers in the first round of playoffs.\u201cWhat we're focused on is getting better,\u201d said Julien.\u201cWe hope that by focusing on that, things will take care of themselves.\u201cWe know where we are in the standings and we really need to push hard to get back in the hunt because we're quite a few points behind.We're focusing on game to game.Now, we're focused on Philadelphia.\u201d There was encouraging news at practice Wednesday as Weber skated for the first time since an outdoor game in Ottawa on Dec.16.He skated about 20 minutes with centre Phillip Danault, who is recovering from a concussion.Neither is ready to return to action.Proposed LaRuche sports plex awaits gov\u2019t subsidy Record Staff MAGOG The project for a two-rink sports complex at La Ruche high school in Magog is awaiting the approval of a grant application submitted to the Quebec government.The non-profit organization (NPO) that oversees the file hopes for a subsidy of at least 50 per cent of the estimated implementation costs of $25 million, without which the project might not move forward.Jean-Guy Gingras, Chair of the board of directors of the NPO, is hoping for a positive response from the Quebec Ministry of Education and Higher Education.\"We presented a solid file.The approach and the financial structure are based on a partnership between two institutions (City of Magog and Commission scolaire des Sommets) which have a good reputation and an exemplary credibility as for their capacities to realize and manage such a project,\" he said in a press release.Gingras also pointed out that the City's financial contribution, which is limited to the annual ice time rental, is an \"undeniable advantage\" for the citizens and the Municipality.A public information session will be held shortly to present the plans and specifications of the new structure, as well as its schedule and financing.Citizens will also be able to speak on this occasion, the date of which will be announced later.In addition to two ice surfaces, the new complex would also include a physiotherapy center, a sporting goods store, a food court, and an indoor running track.Russian athletes in limbo as CAS adjourns latest appeals By John Pye The Associated Press PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KOREA Two groups of Russian athletes seeking late entry for the Pyeongchang Olympics had their appeals adjourned Wednesday, leaving decisions on their participation to the eve of the opening ceremony at the earliest.A group of 32 Russians who were denied invitations to the Olympics because of evidence linking them to past doping had their case heard Wednesday by the Court of Arbitration for Sport but no decision was made.A second group of 15 lodged an application Wednesday seeking to force the International Olympic Committee to invite them to the games.They were all banned last year for doping at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, but those verdicts were overturned last week by CAS, sports' highest court.The 13 athletes and two coaches in that group included cross- country skiing gold medallist Alexander Legkov and skeleton gold medallist Alexander Tretiakov.CAS secretary general Matthieu Reeb said the first hearing started Wednesday but had been adjourned to Thursday, resuming at noon, \u201cin order to hear also the second case.\u201d \u201cThey want to consolidate the two cases,\u201d Reeb said.\u201cPossibly a final decision can be rendered at the end of the day tomorrow.If we need more time, perhaps it will be Friday morning.\u201d The Olympic opening ceremony is set for Friday night, and the participation of the Russian athletes continues to be a distraction.The group of 32 athletes _ including six-time Olympic gold medallist Viktor Ahn, three former NHL players and world biathlon champion Anton Ship- ulin _ failed to pass mandatory IOC vetting, imposed as a result of Russian doping at the 2014 Games.\u201cWhile CAS is sitting today and considering us, I'm out training.I'm not giving up and I'm hoping for a positive result,\u201d Shipulin said in a video he posted on Instagram.\u201cToday I'm skiing with my phone and after each lap I'm checking to see if I've got my dream SMS.\u201d The IOC expects 168 Russian athletes to compete under the neutral banner of \u201cOlympic Athletes from Russia.\u201d Many more have been barred.If the Russian athletes appealing their exclusion this week are successful, though, it would mean the medal contenders in some sports change dramatically.Reeb said he was confident the matter would be resolved when the CAS ad hoc division makes its ruling in Pyeongchang.\u201cIf their appeals are upheld, their participation will be granted,\u201d Reeb said, \u201cand it will be the end, I think.\u201d The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday , February 8, 2018 Page 11 RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS &

depression and suicidal thoughts.I worry about my own kids, but what can we do?Everything is online now, and I don\u2019t want my kids to be outcasts.Dear Reader: Navigating the often- fraught transition from childhood to adulthood has never been easy.Whether we\u2019re reaching back centuries to the passions of Shakespeare\u2019s doomed pairing of Romeo and Juliet, glancing back decades to the alienation of Holden Caulfield in \u201cThe Catcher in the Rye,\u201d or clicking the \u201cfollow\u201d button on any of the current crop of pretty- please-look-at-me young social media stars, the challenges of being a teenager remain the same.Adolescence is a time of swift and bewildering change.It\u2019s often accompanied by hyper-awareness of one\u2019s self, a deep need to fit in, and the sometimes- contradictory wish to stand out.It\u2019s no surprise that in the thundering echo chamber of social media, where every move gets not just scrutiny but also instant (and often merciless) judgment, kids get emotionally overwhelmed.The goal of the study was to learn whether the online ecosystem, which devours so much of our kids\u2019 time and attention, has a role in the recent increase in symptoms of depression and suicidal thoughts among adolescents.Headed by a psychologist from San Diego State University, researchers parsed the results of national surveys whose questions delved into the mental health of 500,000 young people between the ages of 13 and 18.The findings, published last November in the journal Clinical Psychological Science, suggested that increased screen time may indeed contribute to, or worsen, adolescents\u2019 feelings of alienation and loneliness.This proved to be particularly true of girls, whose screen time skews to social media platforms, with their highly visible currency of accumulated \u201clikes.\u201d Boys tend to gravitate to online games, the study said, where prowess is valued over looks or personality.Overall, increased screen time equaled increased feelings of depression.Though the study results do suggest a link between increased online time and feelings of isolation, researchers admit they fall short of proof.Based on the data, though, the authors recommend keeping online time to less than three hours per day.And, yes, we can hear your sigh of frustration from here.Because the truth is that being online is quite literally addictive.As you said in your question, kids who don\u2019t take part can get left out.Limiting screen time is, at best, an ongoing struggle.At worst, it\u2019s a bruising battleground.Still, basic online hygiene is important.A good starting point would be no screens at meals and no screens overnight in bedrooms.This has to apply to adults as well, or it\u2019s not

TOWNSHIPS\u2019 CRIER THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2018 Dear Annie: I recently went to see my doctor about some troublesome symptoms I had been experiencing, and the entire time he was examining me, he kept up a running monologue about the holidays and politics and other assorted topics.I responded as necessary, but mostly I found myself wondering how he could be doing a good job of listening to my heart and lungs over the sound of his own voice.He did not spend nearly as much time discussing my treatment as he did chatting about unrelated subjects.I realize that a certain amount of casual conversation helps to put the patient at ease and to convey understanding and empathy, but enough is enough.And seeing as he came in to see me nearly two hours past my appointment time, I\u2019m guessing his tendency to make excessive conversation is what makes him run late.Although I am always friendly and appropriately responsive, I also have issues with my hairstylist and manicurist and other service professionals who talk nonstop while delivering their services.I don\u2019t see the need for all the chitchat beyond what is called for in terms of common courtesy and professionalism.I am not a crabby old lady who always finds fault.I just want people to focus on the task at hand.Multitasking has been proved to negatively affect performance, so why don\u2019t people just be quiet and do their jobs?Is it just me, or is there an epidemic of too much chattiness going on?\u2014 Enough Chatter Dear Enough Chatter: Small talk isn\u2019t for everyone.But it\u2019s less and less common these days, when so many people prefer texting faraway friends to talking with people who are in the same room.So try to appreciate this chitchat for the attempt at human connection it is.That said, your doctor, of all people, should recognize and respect your boundaries as a patient.So don\u2019t be afraid to express how you feel with a simple statement (and a smile, if you\u2019d like to soften the edge): \u201cReally, I am much more interested in your observations about my health than in talking about politics.\u201d Saying this with a warm smile will help.Dear Annie: I can respect your answer to \u201cNew Grandma,\u201d who felt shut out of her grandchild\u2019s life, but I thought a little more was needed \u2014 namely, a word to parents on how important it is for grandparents to be allowed to see their grandchildren at least occasionally.I can feel \u201cNew Grandma\u2019s\u201d pain, because I haven\u2019t seen my grandson in over a year and get to FaceTime him only four times a year.We beg my son and daughter-in-law to come visit or to allow us to visit.We offer to cover any flights, hotels and rental cars, as well as lunches and dinners for us all.We, too, have many friends who invite us out, but it\u2019s not the same as seeing our only grandson.He\u2019s 7 now! I even started volunteering to read to schoolchildren so I can feel a little like a grandma.But the hurt and heartache are still there.\u2014 Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: I\u2019m so sorry you\u2019ve not been able to spend more time with your grandson.I commend you for signing up for the reading program.You could have easily just wallowed in your heartache, as so many of us do when we\u2019re feeling down.Instead, you took steps to feel better \u2014 and to better your community in the process.How constructive and positive.Your son is missing out by not involving you more in his grandson\u2019s life, because it sounds as though you\u2019d be a wonderful example for the boy.I hope things change for you soon.Send your questions for Annie Lane to: dearannie@creators.com.Cut the chitchat Dear Annie CFUW Sherbrooke and District is  pleased to present Mr.Philippe Grenier, project manager of the Fédera- tion des cooperatives d\u2019habitation de l\u2019Estrie who will explain the various forms of social housing available in Quebec. Did you know there are various types of Co-ops for various types of clientèle? Mr.Grenier will explain what is needed to join a co-op, how to start a coop project and information related to the issues.A question period will follow his presentation.Please note that this presentation will be held in English.Wednesday, February 14, conference room of  Cass, 3006 College, behind the Lennoxville Library (our CFUW flag outside  will indicate the side entrance).The CFUWSD business meeting starts at 1:30 p.m. and will be followed by Mr.Grenier\u2019s presentation at 2.15 p.m.Doors will open at 1 p.m., refreshments will be served.Reservations are not necessary.The premises are handicapped accessible.Are you looking for some volunteer activities?Interested in helping to support students and young women?Are you searching for interesting workshops and lively discussions?  We would be pleased to meet you and explain the Mission and Vision of CFUW Sherbrooke &  District.Feel free to contact us via email: cfuwsherbrooke@gmail.com Submitted by Liane Chacra on behalf of CFUW S&D CFUW Sherbrooke and District meeting ALLEY OOP ARLO & JANIS THE BORN LOSER FRANK AND ERNEST GRIZWELLS SOUP TO NUTS REALITY CHECK HERMAN Go grocery sho pping with diet itians.When you choos e products with t he Health Check symbol, it's like shopping with th e Heart and Strok e Foundation\u2019s die titians, who evalu ate every particip ating product ba sed on Canada's Food Guide.www.healthche ck.org Thursday , February 8, 2018 Page 13 The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com By Melissa D\u2019Arabian Is there anything dream - ier than the tender crumb of a light-as-air angel food cake?I've loved angel food cake ever since I first tasted it as a child.It reminded me of cotton candy.No wonder: angel food cake is essentially a fluffy blend of a super- sugary meringue laced with just enough flour to give it a little structure.In other words, there was very little to get in the way of the pure- sugar flavour that my childhood palate adored! In the 80\u2019s, low-fat became the \u201chealthy\u201d battle cry, and angel food cake came into vogue, with no fat weighing it down, but plenty of white processed sugar fluffing it up.In fact, fat- free-but-sugary baked treats were practically a diet fad unto themselves for well over a decade.Of course, modern science (and let's just say it: common sense) tells us that we could all benefit from cutting down on processed sugar.So how to bring back the flavour and texture of the angel food cakes I adored as a child without throwing our blood sugar levels out of whack?Today's recipe is the solution.First, I cut the sugar down by about 25 per cent over typical recipes and it worked great.Secondly, I skipped purchasing \u201csuperfine\u201d' white sugar, and tried less- processed organic versions.I pulsed the coarser sugar in the blender myself to make it powdery-fine.(It\u2019s still sugar, but even baby steps toward healthy eating count!).Instead of using super- starchy, lower-protein cake flour, I pulsed up regular flour in the blender to mimic the lightness.Also, I made the cake in a loaf pan, which resulted in us eating smaller slices versus tube pan versions by some visual trick of nature that I don't fully understand, but have proven multiple times with my own family.For flavour, since I'm not a huge plain-sugar fan anymore, I added lemon zest and lovely-speckled vanilla bean.I served it with a quick lemony glaze made from Greek yogurt that my family loves, but you can consider optional, if you are an angel food cake traditionalist.Or, try a slice of this cake with a tiny square of dark, bitter chocolate for a perfect pairing.LEMON AND VANILLA BEAN ANGEL FOOD LOAF CAKE Servings: 12 Start to finish: 2 hours, including inactive cooking and cooling time 2/3 cup organic sugar 1/2 vanilla bean, grains scraped from pod 2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup egg whites, from approximately 7-8 eggs 1/4 teaspoon table salt 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Glaze (optional): 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt 1 teaspoon lemon zest 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/4 cup organic powdered sugar Preheat the oven to 325 F (310 F if using convection heat).Place the sugar, zest and vanilla bean in a dry blender and pulse until well-blended and sugar is fine and fluffy.Pour about half the sugar into a small bowl and set aside.Add the flour to the remaining sugar in the blender and pulse again a few times to create a fine flour mixture.Pour into a small bowl and set aside.In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites, salt and cream of tartar on medium speed just until frothy (under a minute).While mixing, carefully add the fine sugar (without the flour) to the egg whites, a tablespoon at a time.Continue beating the eggs until soft peaks form.Remove the bowl from the stand mixer, place a sifter or sieve over the bowl and sift in half the flour and sugar mixture, and fold gently five or six times with a rubber spatula.Sift in the remaining flour mixture and gently fold until no flour streaks remain.Scrape batter into a standard sized ungreased loaf pan.Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until top is golden.Remove from oven and place the loaf pan upside down, resting on two cans on the counter to cool (upside down, not touching the counter) completely (45 minutes).Once cooled, remove the cake by sliding a knife around the edges of the cake.Whisk the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle on the cake when serving, if desired.Nutrition information per serving: 84 calories; 1 calories from fat; 0 g fat (0 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 0 mg cholesterol; 84 mg sodium; 18 g carbohydrate; 0 g fiber; 14 g sugar; 3 g protein.Food Network star Melissa d\u2019Arabian is an expert on healthy eating on a budget.She is the author of the cookbook, \u201cSupermarket Healthy.\u201d Online: http://www.melissadarabian.net (The Associated Press) CALL SHERBROOKE: (819) 569-9525 BETWEEN 8:30 A.M.AND 4:30 P.M.E-MAIL: classad@sherbrookerecord.com OR KNOWLTON: (450) 242-1188 BETWEEN 9:00 A.M.AND NOON C L A S S I F I E D DEADLINE: 12:30 P.M.ONE DAY PRIOR TO PUBLICATION OR MAIL YOUR PREPAID CLASSIFIED ADS TO THE RECORD, 6 MALLORY, SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC J1M 2E2 PAG E 14 Thursday, February 8, 2018 classad@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities 100 is looking for a carrier in Lennoxville for the following route: Oxford Crescent, Archie Mitchell, College streets (41 customers) TO START IMMEDIATELY If interested, please call 819-569-9528 between 8:30 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.or leave a message after hours, or e-mail: billing@sherbrookerecord.com URGENT 035 For Rent 035 For Rent 035 For Rent CLASSIFIEDS ONLINE!

In our game, timing is often critical for winning as many tricks as you elected to take during the auction.In this deal, how should South play in six spades after West leads a low diamond?What was West\u2019s more effective opening lead?When South responded one spade, North added two points for his singleton and rebid three spades, promising 15-17 support (high-card plus shortage) points.He also had six losers (two spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club), which is the number for the jump rebid.South used 14-30 Roman Key Card Blackwood to learn that his partner had either two aces and the spade king or three aces.South realized that his basic plan had to involve ruffing hearts on the board.So, needing hand entries, he won the first trick with dummy\u2019s diamond ace, a key play.Declarer continued with a heart to his ace, a heart ruff low, a diamond to the king and a heart ruff high.If East had discarded, South would have trumped a diamond in his hand, ruffed the heart jack high and, if East threw a club, led dummy\u2019s last trump.Instead, when East overruffed with his ace and returned a trump, declarer won in his hand, ruffed the heart jack, ruffed the diamond eight, drew East\u2019s last trump and claimed.Then West wondered if he should have found the killing trump lead.Two rounds of trumps would have defeated the slam.CROSSWORD Across 1 Color changers 5 Allowing for the uncertainty of the future 10 Fairy tale bear 14 Set 15 Greenland coin 16 Holiday lead-ins 17 Aerialists\u2019 insurance 19 Days in Durango 20 Side by side?21 Medical priority system 23 Visually transfixed 26 Porsche Boxster, e.g.29 Mauritania neighbor 30 Make a big stink 31 Immobile 32 Lining fabric 34 Zebra hunter 36 Breakfast order .and a hint to the last words of 17-, 26-, 51- and 58-Across 41 Loaves that may be seeded 42 Printing goofs 44 Narrow groove 48 Take to heart 50 \u201cYikes!\u201d 51 Like some pizza ovens 53 Decorative draperies 54 Brand name for the sleep aid zolpi- dem 55 Culture starter?57 Tropical tuber 58 Conflict in Tennyson\u2019s \u201cThe Charge of the Light Brigade\u201d 64 Tiny bit 65 Broadcaster 66 Sticking point 67 Many Christmas presents 68 Involuntary muscle contraction 69 Jet black Down 1 Wedding reception VIPs 2 Vote for 3 Cookie baker in the Hollow Tree 4 More disreputable 5 Terrier breed from Scotland 6 Richly decorated 7 Rival 8 Colony crawler 9 Stops working for a while 10 Highway divider 11 Pilot 12 Scanty 13 State strongly 18 Little Italian number 22 \u201cStand By Me\u201d director 23 Bowling alley initials 24 Some square dancers 25 Baldwin brother 27 \u201cMaybe\u201d 28 1930s migrant to California 30 Beverage company __ Cointreau 33 Coffee server 35 Binged (on) 37 Paint brand sold at Home Depot 38 Got big enough for 39 \u201cBorn This Way\u201d Lady 40 Antlered animal 43 Program interruptions 44 Try to hit, as a fly 45 Minestrone ingredient 46 Drink named for a Scottish hero 47 Make a scene and act up 49 One of a \u201850s singing quartet 52 Ancient empire builders 53 Madrid Mrs.56 Start of an idea 59 Fabric flaw 60 Yo La Tengo guitarist Kaplan 61 Break the tape 62 Whichever 63 King of ancient Rome Page 16 Thursday, February 8 , 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record "]
