Bread Bakery in Man- sonville takes its name from the Owl\u2019s Head Mountain situated near the town.The Bakery is celebrating 24 years in operation in Potton having originally opened its doors for Valentine\u2019s Day in 1994.Owners, Chef Denis Mareuge and his wife Agnès Castilloux have attained a quality clientele of followers who dine at the location often changing with each season.Chef Mareuge received his diploma from L`école hôtelière de Lausanne, Switzerland renowned as the best hospitality school in the world, and he along with his wife, Agnès are proud of their many years in the picturesque village of Man- sonville.According to New York Times, Travel Columnist, Marian Burros, the Owl\u2019s Bread Bakery \u201cbrings one of the best bistro lunches this side of the Atlantic to its customers.\u201d While the name and its reputation would lead one to deduce that bread is the signature creation at Owl`s Bread Bakery, there are a plethora of mouthwatering delights available for your taste buds to sample.Croissants, foie gras created from goose liver, duck, cheeses, pastries and more exquisitely served cuisine will leave you eagerly anticipating your next visit.After ten wonderful years in Potton, in 2004 the couple opened a second establishment in Magog.This venture was a little less successful due to the astronomical costs of building in the city and the many strict regulations.\u201cWe ended up selling the building,\u201d explained Mareuge.\u201cWe have a shop in the \u201cCarrefour de Santé Globale,\u201d on route 112,\u201d he added.\u201cThis shop has been doing well.\u201d Owning and operating a business at times means celebrating through the ups and struggling through the downs.Owl`s Bread is no exception to this reality but the couple are proud to continue in Mansonville in hopes that with the pending development of Owl`s Head Mountain there will be an increase in business and this will enable them to continue to thrive and grow in a community they appreciate and enjoy.If the crowd gathered this Saturday as a photo was snapped for this article, is any indication, with a line up to the its door, the bakery is a definite stop for all.Some in line were on their way to or from the Owls Head Ski Hill while others were locals stopping for breads and desserts for their weekend dinner plans.One woman approaching the counter exclaimed, \u201cWe are here to treat ourselves to one of those delicious chocolate eclairs after our dinner tonight,\u201d only to be urged by another customer offering a random suggestion.\u201cTry the Duchesses cookies, they are to die for!\u201d As the exchange continued and the couple stood contemplating, Agnès stood patiently at the counter waiting for a decision to be made.If you have not yet visited Owl`s Bread it is located at 299a Principale in Man- sonville, 450-292-3088.While it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, the Man- sonville location is open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 5:30pm (open for lunch), Fridays 9am to 7pm open for lunch and supper, Saturdays 8:30am to 5:20pm open for lunch and supper and Sundays 8:30am to 5:00pm, open for lunch but not for supper.As the hours change

Musécole contacted the Eastern Townships School Board committee of teachers that organizes the annual board-wide United in Music festival.LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com By Matthew McCully On September 30, 2017, ten Townships singers took the stage at Centennial Theatre to share a collection of powerful songs and make a positive impact in their community for Musécole\u2019s second annual fundraiser, \u2018Why we Sing\u2019.The event raised over $1,800, making Musécole\u2019s two-year fundraising total roughly $4,200, donated to music programs in local schools.This year\u2019s funds were distributed to Sutton Elementary School to purchase ukuleles and Richmond Regional High School to help with the purchase of electric guitars, amplifiers and drums.Musécole, a local non-profit organization with a goal of highlighting local talent and supporting music initiatives in Townships schools and communities, was launched in 2016.The first concert, Back to Graceland, was a Paul Simon Tribute for the 30th anniversary of the release of the Graceland album.Organizer Matthew McCully realized from the get-go that the concert would require substantial support from the local music community.He enlisted the help of eight-piece brass and percussion group Grüv \u2018n Brass, The Champlain Choir, members of the BU singers and local dance and percussion school Sankofa, along with a handful of talented local singers.The concert, held in October of 2016, sold out Centennial Theatre.Wanting to pay-it-forward to a new generation of musicians, McCully, through Musécole, donated the $2,400 in profits from the show to Sherbrooke Elementary School to help with the purchase of band instruments.According to music teacher Tracey Rivette, the school was able to buy a trombone and two flutes.Following the success of its first endeavour, Musécole got to work on another large scale concert highlighting local talent.The 2017 show Why We Sing included a collection of songs that have been agents of change in the world.They covered all genres and several decades in music history.Musécole hand-picked both professionals and up and coming singers to participate in the show, including La Voix contestants Tim Brink, Marie Bélisle and Amos Joannides, local singer songwriter and artist Kate Morrison and Sonia Patenaude, a regular fixture on the local music scene.In the up and coming category were second-year BU student Canda Habonimana, Champlain student Sarah Wells and Ember Gen- dreau, a Massey-Vanier High School student.Kathryne Owen, a well-kept singing secret in the area, rounded out the featured performers.Again, the concert was a success, raising $1,849.To decide how to best distribute the profits from the show, Musécole contacted the Eastern Townships School Board committee of teachers that organizes the annual board-wide United in Music festival.The committee suggested that Sutton and Richmond had students and staff who were itching to get their hands on some new instruments, so Musécole was happy to oblige.The success of Musécole\u2019s first two performances is due in large part to support from the community and sponsor- ships from local businesses, elected representatives and Townshippers Foundation.While the end goal of Musécole is fundraising for youth music initiatives, the concerts also shine a light on talented local music professionals and give young performers valuable stage experience.Buying a ticket to a show or donating to Musécole not only puts instruments into the hands of young locals, it guarantees a fair wage to local professionals and supports local venues.In the coming weeks, Musécole will announce this year\u2019s concert.Anyone interested in participating in the show or helping with the organization is welcome to get in touch by emailing musecoleproductions@gmail.com.Musécole \u2018Why We Sing\u2019 concert raises $1,800 for music instruments in local schools Record Staff Memphremagog Police were kept busy over the weekend, intercepting impaired drivers and dealing with a couple of incidents of providing a false identity.Just after midnight Saturday morning, police intervened with a man who was drinking wine from the bottle in the center of Ste Marie St.in violation of municipal by-laws and was asked to identify himself in order to receive his ticket.The man gave his brother\u2019s name and the police noticed the lie.As it turned out, the 30-year-old man gave a false identity because he had several conditions to respect including a curfew and to refrain from consuming alcohol.He was arrested for breach of conditions and assuming a false identity.He was detained at the police station to appear Monday at the Sherbrooke courthouse.A little later, at approximately 3:15 a.m.Memphrémagog Police officers stopped a vehicle on St-David St.in Magog.The driver, a 30-year-old Magog resident, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in addition to having a driver's license sanctioned for unpaid fines.At the police station, she failed the blood-alcohol test twice.She was released on a promise to appear in court, and her license was suspended for a period of 90 days.Her vehicle was also seized for 30 days for driving with a sanctioned license.On Sunday, at around 1:00 a.m.police intercepted a vehicle on Principale St.East in Magog and arrested a 31-year old Ayer's Cliff resident for driving while impaired by alcohol.Brought to the police station, she failed a blood-alcohol test twice.She was released on a promise to appear, with a license suspended for 90 days.At around 2:30 p.m.police intercepted a man for a Highway Code infraction on Édouard St.in Magog.When asked for identification, the man gave two different birth dates within seconds.When this was pointed out to him, he immediately confessed to having provided a false identity and the 42-year-old Magog man was arrested for obstructing a peace officer.He was also arrested under two arrest warrants from the Sherbrooke Police.He remained detained at the police station to appear Monday at the Sherbrooke courthouse.Memphremagog Police Weekend Roundup Two DUIs and two

Intercultural Buffet is a one-of-a-kind event and everyone can find a role to play, whether in decoration, reception, table service, parking management, exhibitor support, and even equipment transportation.Potential volunteers are asked about personal preferences and abilities and a place on the diverse volunteer team will be found to suit individual needs.Those interested in becoming a volunteer for the 2018 Intercultural Buffet must register and participate in one of the two information sessions.Information sessions: Éva-Senécal Municipal Library, 450 Marquette St., Sherbrooke, Monday, March 12, 6 p.m.Saturday, March 17, 1:30 p.m.RECORD ARCHIVES RECORD ARCHIVES Magog closes outdoor ice surfaces Record Staff The City of Magog is following in the footsteps of nearby Sherbrooke by shutting down its outdoor ice surfaces for the remainder of the season.Recent weather conditions and the upcoming forecast of temperatures to come can no longer guarantee the quality of the surfaces of its outdoor rinks, the municipal slides, and the ice trail, putting an end to their use for this winter.The surfaces will be available again next December.Hwy 610 closes section near Duplessis Bridge Record staff SHERBROOKE The Ministry of Transport is advising the public that work inspecting the Duplessis Bridge in Fleurimont will close parts of highway 610 Wednesday between 1:30 and 5 p.m.The eastbound lane will be closed to traffic from 1:30 to 3 p.m.followed by the closure of the westbound lane from 3 to 5 p.m.This schedule could be changed depending on operational constraints and weather.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 card but a way to pass along information about student strengths or challenges to schools in advance.\u201cThe file will always belong to the parent and it is their choice to share that information with the school,\u201d the minister said, explaining that the point of the tool is to help with early intervention on special needs, rather than to create stigma in the learning environment.Fortin put an emphasis in his announcement in fostering better communication between the different parties involved in a child\u2019s education and upbringing, although he also added that there is a literacy component to the new funding announcement, as well.\u201cToo many children arrive at school having never touched a book in their lives,\u201d he said.\u201cWe want these children to be able to develop a greater interest and love for reading, words, and sentences.\u201d Judith Laflamme, Director of the Centre De La Petite Enfance Le P'Tit Gadu, a daycare centre in Sherbrooke\u2019s Ascot District, welcomed the announcement even if she acknowledged the fact that it comes with certain questions about what form the new programs will take.\u201cI cannot say, concretely, how much money it will give us, but we can\u2019t be against the idea of reinvesting in early childhood,\u201d Laflamme said.\u201cThe last few years have been difficult for us so this comes as good news.\u201d The daycare director pointed out that as many children are in daycare centres (CPEs) before they can walk, and thus the transition to a new school can be a difficult one.\u201cChildren develop a strong attachment and sense of belonging with their daycare,\u201d Laflamme said, praising the idea of putting programs in place to help break down the barriers between CPEs and schools to help children transition more smoothly.She said that the funds announced yesterday will likely go primarily into paying for supply staff to help regular educators plan and organize new activities and outings outside of their usual work time, although she acknowledged that there are costs involved in things like trips as well.\u201cThe challenge we face is that our children will be going to many different schools,\u201d the director said.\u201cWe are in the process of asking parents what school their child will be going to and we will try to make connections between children going to the same places.\u201d Laflamme pointed out that Le P'Tit Gadu already has a school transition plan in place and in operation, as well as a report similar to what Fortin\u2019s new plan proposes.\u201cThe goal is to give pertinent information to parents,\u201d she said, adding that she was happy to hear Fortin say he prepared the plan in consultation with daycare educators from across the province to find out what was already being done.\u201cIn some daycares there is already a program in place, but what we want to see is a program across all of Quebec,\u201d Fortin said, acknowledging that the change will be greater at some CPEs than others.With around 35,000 four year olds currently enrolled in subsidized private or public daycare spots across the province at the moment, the funding works out to approximately $143 per child per year.The new funding and programs do not apply to home-based day- cares, even if they are affiliated with a larger daycare centre.Helping preschoolers The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com T uesday, February 27, 2018 Page 5 St-Pierre kicks off the 20th edition of UN simulation Record Staff SHERBROOKE Quebec Minister of International Relations and La Francophonie, Christine St-Pierre, launched the 20th edition of the Simulation of the United Nations General Assembly (SAGNU) of Estrie high schools at the Sherbrooke Golf Club last week.She took the opportunity to highlight the civic commitment of the hundred or so high school students in the Townships who took on the challenge of being a diplomat for a day.Indigenous peoples and climate change This year, the young people adopted resolutions concerning the cultural rights of indigenous peoples, as well as the fight against climate change to promote food security.In order to discuss these international issues, the students attended several training workshops prepared by the Carrefour de solidarité internationale (CSI) and the École de politique appliquée at the Université de Sherbrooke, the two organizers behind the simulation.Simulation of the United Nations General Assembly SAGNU is an activity created during Québec\u2019s International Solidarity Days and is financially supported by the Ministry of International Relations and La Francophonie, the Quebec Association of International Cooperation Agencies, and Global Affairs Canada.The Carrefour de solidarité internationale (CSI) The CSI is an international cooperation organization established in Sherbrooke that carries out development projects with communities in the South.It also works to raise awareness among the Estrie public on issues of solidarity and citizen participation.\"Although it's only a simulation, the challenges are real, St-Pierre said.\u201cIn addition to allowing these young people to learn about and debate global issues, simulation offers them a realistic experience of commitment and solidarity.It is one of the objectives of the Global Citizenship Education Program to raise awareness among Quebeckers of international solidarity in order to identify values and behaviours that contribute to the creation of a more inclusive, sustainable and just world.Who knows, maybe some of these participants could be the diplomats of tomorrow.\u201d Conquer the Health Challenge Record Staff SHERBROOKE Sherbrooke-Ville

remember the importance of friendly connections within the community. By David Suzuki Contrary to a common perception, ignoring climate change won\u2019t make it disappear.Global research going back to 1824 in fields ranging through physics, oceanography, biology and geology have confirmed human activity \u2014 mainly burning fossil fuels, raising livestock and destroying carbon sinks like forests and wetlands \u2014 is increasing greenhouse gas emissions and causing global temperatures to rise rapidly, putting humanity at risk.Every legitimate scientific academy and institution and every government, except the current U.S.administration, agrees.Yet the disconnect between that reality and government action to confront the greatest crisis humanity faces is astounding.Nowhere is that disconnect more profound than in the United States, where the attitude is \u201cout of sight, out of mind.\u201d U.S.Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, appointed by President Donald Trump, told staff to scrub the agency\u2019s website of information about climate change and the Obama administration\u2019s Clean Power Plan, aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from power generation.According to Newsweek, \u201cPruitt ordered edits that would modify search results for \u2018Clean Power Plan\u2019 to link to a page promoting Trump\u2019s executive order, with a photo of the president and the EPA administrator posing with coal miners.\u201d That\u2019s just one among many moves by the administration to reduce environmental protection and overturn measures to reduce climate change and shift to a clean energy economy.Pruitt has also suggested climate change might be beneficial! Trump, as with many issues, is both confused and ignorant about global warming.\u201cThere is a cooling and there\u2019s a heating,\u201d Trump told British journalist Piers Morgan in an ITV News interview.\u201cI mean, look, it used to not be climate change, it used to be global warming.That wasn\u2019t working too well because it was getting too cold all over the place.\u201d His comment shows the president doesn\u2019t understand the difference between climate and weather or the history and basics of climate science.Although Canadian governments sound more reasonable, their actions demonstrate a similar disconnect.The Alberta and federal governments talk about reducing emissions but somehow believe expanding oilsands production and shipping dirty bitumen around the world to be burned are compatible with their climate plans.\u201cWe need to make sure we\u2019re both protecting the environment and growing the economy at the same time,\u201d Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told CBC in defending Kinder Morgan\u2019s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, which would triple the amount of bitumen shipped.The economy and the environment aren\u2019t equal considerations.We invented the current economy and can change it, as we often have, when it no longer suits our needs or realities.Demanding constant growth on a finite planet is suicidal.And extracting, processing, selling and transporting polluting, climate-al- tering fossil fuels isn\u2019t the best way to ensure economic prosperity.The oil and gas sector emits 26 per cent of Canada\u2019s greenhouse gases (almost 10 per cent from oilsands) \u2014 not including emissions from burning the product! \u2014 yet only contributes about five per cent of GDP, with the oilsands contributing about two per cent.The industry employed around 178,000 people in 2017, with fewer than 30,000 in the oilsands.That\u2019s significant, but clean tech employs more people, often in more widely distributed, high-paying jobs.Trudeau\u2019s claim that reducing direct oilsands emissions is enough is also disingenuous.Canada isn\u2019t on track to meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement, and he ignores the fact that countries buying our bitumen will burn it, further fuelling global warming.Assurances that Canada has adequate plans to protect the B.C.coast from a spill, with an increase in crude oil tankers through Burrard Inlet from 60 to 400 a year, are absurd.No matter what lengths politicians, corporate interests and others take to avoid, downplay and obfuscate serious issues around environmental degradation and our economic system\u2019s destructive path, we can\u2019t deny reality.Studies show we must refrain from burning most fossil fuel reserves to avoid catastrophic warming.In little more than a century, the human population has more than quadrupled to seven billion and rising, and our plastic-choked, consumer-dri- ven, car-obsessed cultures have led to resource depletion, species extinction, ocean degradation, climate change and more.It\u2019s past time to open our eyes and shift to a more sensible approach to living on this small, precious planet.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.EDITORIAL Page 6 T uesday , February 27, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Trump, as with many issues, is both confused and ignorant about global warming.We can\u2019t close our eyes to climate change 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 FAX: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON MCCULLY PUBLISHER .(819) 569-9511 MATTHEW MCCULLY ASSOCIATE EDITOR (819) 569-6345 GORDON LAMBIE ASSOCIATE EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 STEPHEN BLAKE CORRESP.EDITOR .(819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIEF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-4856 JESSE BRYANT ADVERTISING MANAGER .(450) 242-1188 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .(819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .(819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION .(819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM .(819) 569-6345 KNOWLTON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREET, KNOWLTON, QUEBEC, J0E 1V0 TEL: (450) 242-1188 FAX: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST T O T A L QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 135.60 6.78 13.53 $ 1 5 5 .9 1 6 MONTHS 71.19 3.56 7.10 $ 8 1 .8 5 3 MONTHS 36.16 1.81 3.60 $ 4 1 .5 7 ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS QUEBEC: 1 YEAR 71.50 3.58 7.13 $ 8 2 .2 1 1 MONTH 6.49 0.32 0.65 $ 7 .4 6 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was 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, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA RECORD THE Science matters Water pressure could drop in Sherbrooke north today Record Staff SHERBROOKE The City of Sherbrooke is advising residents of Sherbrooke north that there could be a drop in water pressure today in a number of homes.Work on water mains could reduce the water pressure in the quadrilateral formed by Portland, Jacques-Cartier North, Monseigneur-Fortier boulevards, as well as Highway 410.Residents will, however, be able to continue to consume tap water normally and will not need to boil it.The pressure drop could occur between 8 a.m.and 6 p.m.During this period, the urban infrastructure department of the City of Sherbrooke will carry out work on the water system to will replace a 400 mm diameter valve at the intersection of Nicholas-Scheib and McCrea Streets.Some homes on Nicholas-Scheib and McCrea will be without water during the work.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter!

Cherished Memories Funeral Services and Crematorium Martensville, SK PHONE: 306-242-7888 ASK THE DOCTORS By Robert Ashley, M.D.Dear Doctor: Can you shed some light on transient global amnesia?I was diagnosed with this five years ago (I\u2019m now 71) after my family noticed that I couldn\u2019t recall common facts.I had no physical ailment or injury prior to this, and I\u2019m told that the recurrence rate is 1 percent.Dear Reader: Transient global amnesia is, as the name describes, a short- lived inability to retain new memories.Because the episodes are so sudden, they can be disorienting to all involved.Afflicted people often repeatedly ask questions about the date, their location or their reason for being there.They can temporarily lose memories from a few hours before the event to, more rarely, up to a year before the event.Note that such episodes do not affect a person\u2019s ability to perform complex tasks such as driving, cooking, lecturing and playing a musical instrument.Nor do the events interfere with self-aware- ness.The episodes last, on average, about six hours, but can be as short as one hour or as long as 10 hours.Afterward, a person does not remember anything that transpired during the episode and may even lose some memories formed just before the incident.Although the episodes can be preceded by an acute emotional event, physical activity, or exposure to cold or heat, doctors don\u2019t really know what causes such amnesia.MRIs have shown that the events affect the memory centers of the brain in the temporal lobe and in the hip- pocampus.Like the symptoms, however, the resulting lesions that develop in these areas are not permanent.Some brain experts suspect that blood flow restriction may be a trigger, but the evidence for this is thin.Another hypothesis, which has more merit, is that a backflow of venous blood is the catalyst; such flows are more likely to affect the aforementioned parts of the brain.One strong risk factor is psychogenic stress \u2014 in other words, a psychiatric condition that produces a physical response.A 2005 study found that people with a history of psychiatric disease or alcohol abuse had three times the likelihood of experiencing transient global amnesia.The condition typically occurs in people ages 50 to 80 and is diagnosed in one in every 3,500 people over 50 each year in the United States.The peak incidence occurs in those 60 to 65.Men and women are equally affected.Because the symptoms can resemble those of a stroke or a transient ischemic attack, many people mistake the condition for a stroke or TIA.Unlike those conditions, however, transient global amnesia does- n\u2019t have a vascular cause, and people who experience it have the same incidence of stroke as the general population.Nonetheless, because of the similarity in symptoms, immediate medical attention is needed to rule out more serious causes.You mention a 1 percent recurrence rate, but studies have shown the rate to be about 5 percent.This is still very low.This sudden loss of memory must have been unnerving for you.Please take some comfort in the fact that it\u2019s unlikely to happen again.Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.Rare transient global amnesia mostly affects people over 50 TUESDAY,

think I don\u2019t know him at all.He hardly calls or texts me when at work, but he would call his siblings at any time of the day.He doesn\u2019t answer my calls or respond to my texts messages, either.He is often late from work, usually arriving two hours after he\u2019s done even though it\u2019s 30 minutes away.I feel isolated and lonely.I\u2019m often perplexed by my husband\u2019s reaction whenever I tell him how I feel.Recently, I told him, \u201cI don\u2019t think you love me.\u201d And he replied, \u201cGo tell your friends that.\u201d He isn\u2019t happy if I go out for dinner with my girlfriends.He seldom goes out, because I caught him lying once.I feel trapped and tired in this relationship.What should I do?\u2014 Is This Married Life?Dear Is This Married Life?: Trapped, isolated and lonely \u2014 so much sadness in such a short letter.Whatever is going on with you and your husband, it\u2019s clear the status quo isn\u2019t acceptable.Partners should not begrudge each other for having dinner with friends or talking often to siblings.It sounds as though you\u2019re both stuck in a toxic cycle, and it\u2019s going to take an outside force to break you out of it.Ask your husband to attend marriage counseling.If he refuses, seek therapy on your own; websites such as BetterHelp and Talk- space connect patients with health care professionals via video chats, text messages and phone calls, so you don\u2019t even need to leave your house to get help.But please, do get help.It could change your life.Dear Annie: I disagree with your answer to \u201cDoctor Mother,\u201d who noticed a lump on her son\u2019s girlfriend\u2019s neck.My husband, \u201cBob,\u201d was sitting next to his boss, \u201cRoger,\u201d who is a doctor and health commissioner.Roger noticed that Bob\u2019s neck bumped out when he swallowed.Roger examined Bob\u2019s neck while he swallowed again and said to go for a biopsy.It was thyroid cancer in both lobes of his thyroid, which he then had removed.A year later, I noticed a lump in my daughter\u2019s neck during a visit.She was in her early 20s.She followed my advice and had it checked out.A biopsy revealed cancer in a lymph node that had come from her thyroid.She had the thyroid removed one month later.Had I not insisted, the cancer could have spread even further.I don\u2019t even want to think of that possible outcome.Today she is 39 and cancer-free.My husband is also cancer-free.So my advice for \u201cDoctor Mother\u201d is to speak up and tell her son\u2019s girlfriend to get it checked out.Better to be safe than sorry! A lump isn\u2019t always a skin condition.It could be a swollen lymph node.\u2014 WNY Reader Dear WNY Reader: You\u2019re absolutely right.I should have more seriously considered the stakes.I\u2019m printing your letter to correct the record.Thanks for writing.Send your questions for Annie Lane to: dearannie@creators.com.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com T uesday , February 27, 2018 Page 9 Married but alone Dear Annie TOWNSHIPS If you want to drink, that\u2019s your business.If you want to stop, we can help.Call Alcoholics Anonymous 1-888-424- 2975, www.aa.org LENNOXVILLE Men\u2019s general meeting, A.N.A.F.Unit 318, Wednesday, February 28 at 7 p.mon the main floor.Appointment of Committee Chairs and Co-Chairs.LENNOXVILLE The Lennoxville and District Community Aid will be holding a Blood Pressure clinic on Tuesday, March 13 at 164 Queen Street, Suite #104, from 1:30 p.m.to 2:30 p.m.NORTH HATLEY The Lennoxville and District Community Aid will be holding a Blood Pressure clinic on Friday, March 2 at the Library, 165 Main St.North, from 10:00 a.m.to 11:30 a.m.LENNOXVILLE Advance notice.The John Luce Memorial Dart and Pool Tournament is back at the A.N.A.F.Unit 318 \u201cThe Hut\u201d, 300 St.Francis Street, Lennoxville on Saturday, April 7 starting at 1 p.m.This year\u2019s proceeds are going to 1st Lennoxville Scouts.The canteen will be open.Entertainment with Black Dog starting at 8:30 p.m.LENNOXVILLE Lennoxville Elementary School Benefit Evening, Saturday, March 3, 8:30 p.m.to 1 a.m., at the A.N.A.F.Unit 318 (The Hut), 300 St.Francis, Lennoxville, featuring Black Dog.All proceeds will go towards the L.E.S.extra-curricular activities.Admission charged.All welcome.LENNOXVILLE St.Patrick\u2019s Day Coffee Party Fundraiser - Lennoxville Girl Guides.Get your quarters ready! Join us for our St.Patrick\u2019s Day Coffee Party fundraiser on Saturday, March 17 from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m.at 6 Church Street, Lennoxville.Come for coffee, tea, finger sandwiches and baked goods; and stay for our Caribou Social, silent auction, door prizes and more!

He had to win with dummy\u2019s diamond king, so that he could have ruffed the third club with the diamond ace \u2014 difficult to anticipate.CROSSWORD Across 1 Actress Swenson 5 Pops out, as a DVD 11 White lie 14 \u201cLittle\u201d Dickens girl 15 Golf goof 16 Mined metal 17 Regularly go out (with) 19 Old horse 20 Rip off 21 URL suffix for charities 22 __ time: never 23 Getup for Woody of \u201cToy Story\u201d 27 Like some consonants, as the nasal \u201cn\u201d 30 Actress de Matteo 31 Press into service 32 Invalidate 35 \u201cThe Lion King\u201d lion 38 What \u201c2 + 2 = 4\u201d is an example of 42 \u201cSay cheese!\u201d 43 Spreadsheet info 44 Baton Rouge sch.45 Unlikely to throw dirty clothes on the floor 47 Word after systems or psycho 50 Preferred way of doing things 54 \u201c__ girl!\u201d 55 __Kosh B\u2019gosh 56 Listless feeling 60 Old electrical unit 61 Front part of a hand tool, say .and the last word of 17-, 23-, 38- and 50- Across?64 Emeril exclamation 65 Tarzan and others 66 Like villains 67 Having five sharps, musically 68 Creates anew, as a password 69 Alluring Down 1 Color printer refills 2 Old hair-removal brand 3 TV show about a high school choir 4 Llama-like mammal 5 Expressive punk genre 6 Good name for a phys ed teacher?7 Finland\u2019s second- largest city 8 Careful 9 Overbearing leader 10 Messy room 11 Group of related typefaces 12 Tehran native 13 Fathered, in the Bible 18 Congeal 22 Accepted the loss, financially 24 Like permed hair 25 \u201cTrue __\u201d: HBO vampire series 26 Constellation bear 27 Watering holes 28 \u201cSure __ standing here .\u201c 29 Shrine in Moscow\u2019s Red Square 33 Hoppy beer, for short 34 Coup __ 36 Big cheese 37 \u201cSometimes you feel like __ .\u201c: classic candy jingle 39 \u201cPrince Valiant\u201d queen 40 Bring in 41 Hindu princess 46 Traveling acting band 48 Half of all blackjacks 49 Contact __ 50 Disney deer 51 Filmmaker Coen 52 Pack animals 53 Bell tower sound 57 Campbell of \u201cScream\u201d 58 Windows alternative 59 In a lazy way 61 Watering hole 62 Earn after taxes 63 Naval rank: Abbr."]
