Fortin.Paysages modernes du Québec traditionnel.An exhibition developed and circulated by the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.The exhibition consists of thirty rural and marine scenes produced in oils or gouache by Fortin between 1910 and the 1950s.The works are grouped both by subject and by pictorial technique, with the aim of demonstrating how the practice of painting can be associated with tradition by thematic choices, but also, paradoxically, by the expression of a certain modernity in these choices.Marc-Aurèle Fortin produced the bulk of his work between 1910 and the beginning of the 1950s.At that time, the art world of Québec was undergoing a series of upheavals which heralded the beginning of modern and abstract painting.These transformations did not happen from one day to the next, or without resistance.The time between the wars can be considered as a period of transition during the course of which artistic practice was subjected to sometimes contradictory influences.Many painters followed modern trends while still remaining tied, in some aspects, to traditional ways.Fortin was one of these.During his career, Fortin dedicated himself primarily to the painting of Québec landscapes, with a distinct focus on traditional forms even in urban scenes.In exposing the paradox of these thematic and stylistic choices of Fortin, this exhibition demonstrates how this artist has come to be associated with both tradition and modernity.Fr May 25 to October 6 .Summer 2013 at the Musée des .; o£ * ° « x-arts de Sherbrooke Xe NY æ.} Ck 1 COURTESY Marc-Aurèle Fortin in the garden of Jean-Paul Pépin in Sainte- Dorothée, island of Laval, around 1940.: The Québec Countryside: a conservative theme As did many artists of the time, Fortin advocated the development of a \u201cnational\u201d painting style.Among French-Canadian painters; this idea took the form of representation of the Québec landscape and rural life.In their eyes, their own identity Was founded in the land and customs inherited from the Régime francaise.By adhering to the nationalist idea, and painting innumerable variants on the theme of rural Québec, in which trees, houses, boats and even whole villages inhabit the space, Fortin chose a traditional path.In the early 20th Century, the theme of landscape painting had permitted artists to abandon more academic subjects and to experiment with modern interpretations such as impressionism.Beginning with the 1920s, and even more during the 1930s and 1940s, this repertoire had become so over-used that it was in itself a new academism.Promoters of a more modern art demanded subjects that were contemporary and universal.Defying these critics, Fortin continued to feature an ancestral way of life in the majority of his works, far from the technological progress and transformations Québec was then experiencing.A Modern Technique Though his_ thematic choices are often conventional, Fortin is perceived as a modern painter by many critics of his time, who recognized in his work a style both personal and audacious.Ben by Daniel Shelton + Tet newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record In the time between the wars in Québec, artistic practice was deemed to be modern when the subjective interpretation of the artist took precedence over the illusionist representation of reality.However, for most of the French-Canadian critics, art did not need to be just a faithful copy of nature.They preferred the celebrated formulation of Emile Zola: \u201cL'art, c\u2019est la nature vue à travers un tempérament (art is nature seen through character)\u201d.Fortin was considered to have a great deal of character.In the landscapes of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s, he used vivid and contrasting colours, simplified shapes, paid scant atten- ton to the rules of three-dimensional perspective, and created decorative effects even though they went against the faithful representation of reality.It is true that with the emergence of abstract art in the 1940s, Fortin\u2019s primarily figurative painting was no longer considered \u201cavant- garde.\u201d Nevertheless, we continue to recognize him as an innovator, but in the context of an epoch now vanished.The Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke is supported financially by the ministère de la Culture et des Communications and by the City of Sherbrooke.It is open to visitors from Tuesday through Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m.Summer schedule from June 24 to September 2: daily, from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m.The museum is located in downtown Sherbrooke, at 241 Dufferin Street.Entry fees: Adults $10; Seniors $8; Students $7; family packages are available.Guided tours in English or French or group visits can be arranged by appointment.Source : Lise

heads, jump through hoops, and throw themselves from one end of the stage to the other.Set not in any specific time or place, the acrobatic dance and theatre piece ponders the role of the \u201cother,\u201d how it defines and shapes us as humans.Tristan Nielsen, one of the performers, expands on his explanation of \u201cthe other.\u201d \u201cWe like to think about the other, how it shapes us, how it influences us, how we react to another physical body in a room,\u201d he says.Eric Bates took center stage for the small demonstration, juggling as many as four cigar boxes at a time while his colleagues danced and jumped around him.The tall blond athlete wearing a white shirt paired with black overalls was both lithe and nimble, carrying himself almost effortlessly at the back

Dario, who specializes in the Korean plank and dance.Nielsen concurred.\u201cWe are not like the other circuses, where everything has to be just so.We have a more humane aspect to our circus.We want our spectators to look at us and think: \u201cI could be that person on stage!\u201d Alexandra Royer, Camille Legris, Colin Davis, Devin Henderson, Maxim Laurin, Tristan Nielsen and Ugo Dario have been friends for three years, in some respects longer, having met at the National Circus School of Montreal.\u201cWe\u2019re buddies, we have fun together,\u201d says Dario, who leans forward at the wooden table and riffles through his spiky hair before letting out another of his boisterous laughs.Let\u2019s take a look at every performer individually.Alexandra Royer was always drawn to sports like a magnet.She moved to Morocco at the age of eight and pursued her love of horseback riding.Signing up at the Circus School of Quebec City at the age of 11, Royer has actively been performing the Russian bar, wherein two carriers support a flexible bar upon which a flyer stands upright and performs an array of risky moves.Ugo Dario graduated from the National Circus School of Montreal in 2011 and promptly joined Les Sept Doigts de la Main.Dario began practicing circus moves since he was seven years old.Originally from Strasbourg, France, this small man with a wild hairdo has always had itchy feet.\u201cI used to jump around the living room so much as a kid that my parents knew they had to find a way to keep me sedated.no, I'm kidding!,\u201d he says grinning.\u201cSo I began karate and loved it.Karate is all about control, and I love the Japanese mentality of self-control.\u201d He is the proud owner of a brown belt in karate and embarks on countless other projects including music, photography, and graffiti art.He strongly believes that dance and theatre should be integrated and moulded into the circus.When asked to describe his personality, Dario smiled broadly.\u201cI like to try dangerous things out.I am definitively not afraid to launch myself out onto something new.which is why I am excited for my solo show when we do \u201cSéquence 8\u201d this summer in Sherbrooke.\u201d Eric Bates is primarily renowned for his juggling skills.Bates\u2019 interests are not confined to the circus: he loves cooking, the harmonica, competitive skiing, rugby, chess, break dancing and skateboarding.2008 was a big defining year for Bates, when he veered off from a university career at McGill University and entered the National Circus School in Montreal.Running away with a circus has long been part of Devin Henderson's plans.At five years old, Henderson joined the San Francisco School of Circus Arts.By the tender age of eight, Henderson took part in his first professional show.After learning many techniques at the San Francisco School of Circus Arts, Henderson entered Montreal's National Circus School, where he has been hard at work with Colin Davis, his partner of 12 years.À cineaste at heart, Henderson often develops films about the circus.Tristan Nielsen is a dark-haired acrobat with serious grey eyes.He practices hand- to-hand (an acrobatic technique wherein two performers, either one woman and one man or one man with another man play off each other) with Camille Legris and often performs on the Russian bar.After signing up for a circus

attending one event at the Sherbrooke Canada Games.\u201cI'd love to see the diving!\u201d he said, his eyes lighting up.As for Camille Legris, what's her story?At the age of five, gymnastics ruled her life.By the time Legris was 15, she was hailed as Athlete of the Year in her native town in Quebec.Inspired by Cirque du Soleil on television, Legris studied at the National Circus School of Montreal for seven years before learning to train with Nielsen in hand-to-hand performances.Colin Davis\u2019 love for circuses can be traced back to the time when he watched the Pickle Family Circus.He entered the San Francisco School of Circus Arts at the age of 11, specializing in Chinese acrobatics.Training at the National Circus School for three years, Davis is known for his expertise in drawing tears as well as laughter out of spectators.Maxim Laurin\u2019s interest was always piqued by theatre, magic and circus.He turned his attention to the National Circus School when he was eleven years old focusing on acrobatics, dancing and the trapeze while finishing up his academic studies.Sent to France by the National Circus School, Laurin met Dario, with whom he agreed to specialize with in Korean Board (a rocking board upon which two acrobats stand and are catapulted respectively in turn, while executing somersaults, vaults, spins and other similar kinds of

embarrassed when found out.Why not rent one?TiM BELFORD question, \u201cAre the rich different from the rest of us?\u201d was brief and to the point.He replied simply, \u201cYes.They have more money.\u201d Nevertheless it seems to me there\u2019s more to it than that.Ever since man, and of course woman too, discovered that having a lot of wealth could get them just about anything their heart desired, we\u2019ve seen an awful lot of greed and selfishness.To be sure there have been examples of unalloyed altruism as well.I'm sure Andrew Carnegie, the various Rockefellers, Warren Buffet and others of that ilk have done a lot of good.Just the same, over the run of history, for every billionaire parting with cash for the less fortunate there\u2019s a Mir Osman Ali Khan.Mir Osman was the last Nizam, or ruler, of the state of Hyderabad in pre-in- dependent India.By all accounts he was a pretty good sort and did in fact donate large amounts of money for various projects including hospitals, schools and a nice set of jewelry for Queen Elizabeth II in honour of her coronation.But since he was also the richest man in the world at the time, why not?Forking out a little cash for the less fortunate didn\u2019t stop Mir Osman from indulging himself.He had his own private mint and printed his own money, the Hyderabad rupee.He also owned the Jacob Diamend which was worth about 100 million pounds and which he used as a paper weight.And, according to most accounts, he wasn\u2019t worried about child support since he reportedly fathered 149 children.Another good example of self-indul- gence was Czar Nicholas II.The last Russian monarch and his family have received Fae Hemingway's response to the a certain amount of sympathy since they were brutally murdered in the revolution.But was the sympathy deserved?While millions of his subjects lived on the brink of starvation, Nicholas was reported to possess a fortune of about 290 billion in today\u2019s dollars which made him the richest person of his era and, by the way, the richest saint in history thanks to the Russian Orthodox church.Then there\u2019s the second Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, whose estate included 11,000 acres of prime English country side and 17 Rolls Royce automobiles.He also reputedly left a large un-cut emerald in the bottom of a basket of vegetables which he had delivered to Coco Chanel\u2019s house.It\u2019s not clear whether the gift did him any good or not.The point here is that being rich and abusing that wealth is not as rare as it should be.I give you Dream Tours.The Florida-based company apparently provides a disabled \u2018escort\u2019, to those willing to pony up $130 per hour, to accompany them around Disney World.Why, you ask?a It\u2019s simple.Disney World has a policy that guests who need a wheel chair or a motorized vehicle to get around can take advantage of a \u2018more convenient entrance\u2019 to rides and facilities.They are also allowed to bring along up to six more family members or friends as they cheerfully skip the long waiting lines.No disability in your family?Why not rent one?It\u2019s not as if money couldn\u2019t have bought special access in the first place.Disney already offers a VIP guide service and fast passes for anywhere between $310 and $380 per hour but renting a disability is so much cheaper.A reasonable person, I think, would be ashamed of using money in this way, not to say embarrassed when found out, but not so.According the New York Daily News, one mother who had used a Dream Tours guide to jump the line said, \u201cYou can\u2019t go to Disney World without a tour \u2018concierge.\u2019 This is how the 1 per cent does Disney.My daughter waited one minute to get on \u201cIt\u2019s a Small World - the other kids had to wait two and a half hours.\u201d What a combination.Rich enough to be in the 1 per cent and cheap enough to rent the disabled.\u2014\u2014\u2014\"

Weir uman nature is too flawed to Hee anyone the power to take another\u2019s life with impunity.A campaign to achieve just such a goal has been marinating since 2009, when the Quebec College of Physicians and Surgeons published a major discussion paper concluding that, under special circumstances, euthanasia could be part of end-of-life care.It is worth noting that only 30 per cent of Quebec's doctors responded to the survey.A recent report from an all party committee of the National Assembly has moved the debate from theory to practice.In March, 2012, a panel of three lawyers produced a 435 page report, which Veronique Hiven, junior Minister of Health, said would be implemented quickly.Expectations that physician-assisted suicide will be legalized by this summer are making the rounds.Doctors claim that they are already precipitating death in certain patients in defiance of the Criminal Code.One can only speculate on how the numbers will mushroom should the law be changed.Transferring the issue from federal justice to the provincial jurisdiction of health is being considered as a deft maneuvre to avert any serious challenge.Quebec plans to issue directives to Crown prosecutors in relevant cases such as assisted suicide.They are banking on the precedent established when Quebec did not prosecute Dr.Henry Morgentaler for performing abortions for 12 years before Criminal Code provisions making abortion illegal disappeared.A B.C.Supreme Court judge ruled last year that physicians obeying seriously ill patient's wishes to die, are exempt from criminal charges.The judge declared that there were no dangers lurking in the slippery slope predictions, making it clear she had not done her homework.Ottawa is appealing the decision.Dr.Margaret Summerville, McGill's Ethics and Law knows better.Over 500 hundred deaths in the last ten years in the Netherlands were executed without any request by the patient or any warning about the procedure.issued in advance.What more did the good judge need to know?Safeguards to avert exactly what is happening were given a lot of credence at the outset.Dr.Summerville also cites the statistics that the majority of physicians, whether in the UK, the US.or Canada are against de-criminalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide.Those are the doctors who bear witness that deserve attention.It is the rare newspaper issue that doesn\u2019t feature some malfeasance of the medical community.Whether revelations on preventable medical errors or excessive prescriptions of drugs or fatalities from prescribed hormone therapy, the list goes on.With undenied evidence of a sometimes reckless attitude toward life, why would any clear thinking individual choose to hand the same individuals an even more lethal weapon.Surely those doctors who lobby for, as one of them dubbed it, are the ones least equipped to exercise such power.The medical community has spent a lot of capital to be viewed as saving patient\u2019s lives in complete defiance of the facts.From that undeserved pinnacle to being viewed as deliberately shortening patient\u2019s lives, demands a crashing contradiction that risks their own reputation, already fragile.The best that the most conscientious of physicians can do, is improve a patient\u2019s quality of life.Longevity is out side their domain, depending as it does on clear air, pure water and uncontaminated land.Safe housing, no smoking and a sane use of alcohol also play major roles.U.S.researchers have listed \u2018preventable medical errors\u2019 as the third cause of mortality, following closely behind cancer and heart disease.In Canada, the same statistics reveal that medical mistakes account for more deaths than car accidents or breast cancer.Who knows if adding legalized euthanasia to the mix may raise the toll to new regrettable heights?Letter DEAR EDITOR: ing their products made in third world countries.It\u2019s a form of modern EF: many decades western

By Gwynne Dyer describes himself as a \u201ccrypto-anar- chist,\u201d had a bright idea last year.No government could ever oppress its people again, reasoned the 25-year-old law student at the University of Texas, if everybody in the world could manufacture their own guns at home.Well, not literally everybody, but at least everybody with $8,000 to buy a 3D printer on eBay, or access to one of the 3D printing shops that are springing up in major cities.So Wilson designed a gun made entirely of high-density ABS plastic that could be printed out on a standard 3D machine.He printed and tested it, and last week he made the blueprints available online.3D printers are the Next Big Thing, Ts story so far: Cody Wilson, who and in five or ten years they may be as common as mobile phones.A great many people are clearly looking forward to that happy day, because in the first week after Wilson uploaded the blueprints for his gun, 100,000 people downloaded them.Wilson truly believes that governments would behave better if everybody had a gun.He even calis his plastic pistol the \u201cLiberator.\u201d And predictably, the US government mobilized to destroy his little enterprise.Last Friday, the Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance at the State Department wrote Wilson's company, Defense Distributed, demanding that his designs for a 3D gun be \u201cremoved from public access\u201d until he proves that he has not broken the laws that govern the shipment of weapons overseas.But the genie is well and truly out of the bottle.There have not only been 100,000 downloads from Wilson's own site.It has also been uploaded onto Pirate Bay, and downloads from that site are going through the roof.So what does all this mean?It doesn\u2019t mean that terrorists are more dangerous; they have never had any trouble in getting their hands on weapons a lot more lethal than a single shot pistol.It does mean that people can now make weapons that will not be detected by this generation of airport metal detectors, so it may soon take even longer to get on the plane.But that was going to happen pretty soon anyway.What Cody Wilson has actually done is give us a useful wake-up call about the CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 9 TTT TT ih se essay.starting at From Johnville From Compton Take Cookshire Road only 5 minutes away Open 7 days Les Serres L.G.L.\" 180, [TY [SH TEN \u2018COMPTON.Là 81 id \u2018 oo.Take Corriveau Road only 10 minutes away Once, is now available at Townships book stores, Township- Speak right LEs SERRES L.G.L.from the heart.A donation in memory of a loved one is a gift of hope.It takes just à few minutes.full A card will be sent to the bereaved greenhouses family as a token waiting of your sympathy and generosity.for you i 1 888 473-4636 HEART PORN : Saas Perennials 55255 Page 8 THURSDAY, May 16, 2013 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record The Border Report | \"ur a bit more bearable.I'm not going to change the world, but I might make it | Ross Murray: Interview with a humourist By Matthew Farfan ME: Ross, can you give me a bit of background?Were you educated and if so, where?Where do you come from?What brought you to Stanstead?What do you do for a living nowadays?RM: 1 grew up in Antigonish, N.S., the youngest of four children but clearly the most needy.I have an English degree from Mount Allison University and have served as an inspiration for liberal arts hopefuls ever since.Deb and I moved to Quebec in \u201889 and to Stanstead in \u201892, where I had been hired as news editor for The Stanstead journal.I was paid $8/hour; I really needed a job.Seriously, though, I couldn\u2019t have asked for a bet ter training ground for writing and exploring this part of the Townships, not to mention learning to write on deadline.After leaving selling and then parting ways with The Journal in 2003, I did translation and freelance work before being hired full-time at Stanstead College as their communications coordinator.That was just one question?This is going to take forever! ME: How did you come to work at/own the Stanstead Journal?And, what were you thinking?RM: We were living in Montreal and the freelance writing gigs I had landed at The Gazette and MTL magazine had dried up.We had a kid and were feeling pretty desperate.I forget how we heard about the job, possibly my in-laws.My fa- ther-in-law knew Bobby Fisher, who still had connections with the paper, and he helped me land an interview.Got the job.When the Scowens decided to sell, Greg Duncan and I picked it up.They were really amazing years but they're a bit of a blur.It was an all-consuming job, especially after Greg left, which spurred my decision to sell.MF: Was it at the Journal that you realized: a) you liked to write columns, and b) you could be funny?RM: I think it was at the Journal I realized that I wasn\u2019t as smart as I thought I was so I might as well try to be funny.I had been writing humour for a long time \u2014 even drew comics through my teens! \u2014 and the Journal provided a place for me to try it out because the editor was kind of a pushover.(In case you can\u2019t keep up, the editor was me.) MF: How did you come to be a columnist for The Record / CBC?RM: After the Journal, had a chance to think, \u201cAll right, what do I like to do?\u201d I like to write, yes.I'm pretty good at journalism, okay, but what brings me the most joy?It was writing humour.I asked Sharon if she had a place for me, she said yes.And so | began in March 2004.I've only missed one week since.CBC came out of me wanting to expand my audience.I asked \u201cBreakaway\u201d producer Peter Black if he would be interested in me doing some of my Record columns on air.I'm not sure if it was his idea or mine By Matthew Farfan reading room of the Haskell Free Library last Saturday, for the launch of Stanstead humourist Ross Murray's new book, Don\u2019t Everyone Jump at Once.This, the author\u2019s second collection of musings about life is published by Blue Ice Books of Quebec City, which also produces a quarterly magazine and website called Life in Quebec.Murray read several excerpts from his book, including a piece about an American tourist crossing the border -into Canada, and one about a group of people being holed up in the Haskell Library for 28 days \u2014 both pieces fictional (of course) \u2014 and both quite funny, not to mention appropriate in light of the international location of the launch.Another piece was a conversation he had had with his youngest daughter Abby, who fearlessly joined her father to read her parts of the conversation.Murray interspersed his readings with bits of funny stories, including one about how he came up with the title for the book.\u201cI was shopping around for a publisher, and the response I got gave me the idea for the title,\u201d he said.\u201cNow, ! can use that same line when I ask, who would like to buy the book.\u201d Helping Murray to entertain the I: was standing room only in the Murray launches book at Haskell Jump at Once - Columns and other misguided notions ÿ By Ross Murray i crowd of about 50 was talented Townships singer-songwriter-guitarist Sarah Biggs who performed several of her own songs.The acoustics in the small space of the reading room, for both the readings and the musical interludes, were excellent.Don\u2019t Everyone Jump at Once, by Ross Murray, retails for $15.99 and is available through the publisher at blueice- books.com.Murray had the help of his youngest daughter Abby for one of his readings at his book launch for Don\u2019t Everyone Jump at Once Saturday.but I soon realized that some things in print won't work on radio and vice versa.So I started doing original pieces for them.I used to go into Sherbrooke once a month to record but since then I do it from home, which is good because for a year it was every week, now every two weeks.MF: Tell me how your first book came about.RM: I had all these pieces written over many years and I wanted to compile some of them.Call it ego, whatever.I shopped around for a publisher but did- n\u2019t have any luck.Scott Stevenson and I are old friends and have worked together.He had wanted to get into book publishing for some time.I was his first venture.I was happy with the result and all the effort Scott and his team put into it.But publishing, it turns out, wasn\u2019t for him.So I had to find another publisher.And it\u2019s essentially the exact same story with Andrew Greenfield in Quebec City and his new publishing company, Blue Ice Books.\u201c MF: Was it a critical and/or financial success?Check here \u2014 for neither of the above.RM: Critical?People have told me they liked it, but you know Townshippers: so polite.Financial?I don\u2019t think anyone lost money.MF: Why did you grow a beard anyway?RM: [expletive].| was going camping for a month and didn\u2019t want to shave en route.So I grew a pre-emptive beard last summer prior to leaving, get that itchy phase out of the way.I decided to keep it for a while, see if I like it.I kind of do.Seriously, why does everyone ask about the beard?MF: Tell me about your new book.What's it about?RM: The first collection was drawn from a long period \u2014 1993 to 2007.It covered a lot of ground, including my kids growing up.This one is taken from a shorter period, 2007-2010.You would think that this would mean the quality would be watered down.(I know you're thinking that!) But I think I'm a better writer now.There are fewer \u201ckids say the darnedest things\u201d type columns but family life is still in there.Because that\u2019s what I do; I write about whatever inspires/amuses/aggravates me from one week to the next.MF: Are all the columns from The Record?RM: And \u201cBreakaway.\u201d Some \u201cBreakaway\u201d ones I would have liked to include but, as I said, they don\u2019t work as well in print \u2014 sound effects, singing, rapping, all that fun stuff.(Rapping?) MF: How do you come up with topics to write about week after week?How is one funny on demand?RM: There's always something.Strangely, ! find I get a lot of good ideas in the shower.I know: weird and an uncomfortable visual.Sometimes I'll take an idea and say to myself, \u201cWhat if I push that to an extreme or exaggerated level?\u201d That\u2019s where nonsense is born.Funny on demand?Well, I can do it as a writer because I can sit down and play with words, think about sounds and absurdities and absurd connections.It\u2019s CONT'D ON PAGE 9 The Record | hewsroom@sherbrookerecord.com BORDER REPORT THURSDAY, May 16, 2013 Page 9 Interview with a humourist CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 8 work, though, most of the time any- Way.Sometimes it just comes but usually its work, then revision, then more revision and shuffling.I can\u2019t do this speaking though.Usually, I just stand to the side and throw out smart-ass comments.MF: Growing up, were you always a smart ass?RM: Yes, pretty much.The bane of Sunday school teachers across the land.MF: What happens if you sit down and just find that what you're writing sucks?How often does that happen?Does it happen?And, if it does, what do you do?RM: It happens all the time.So I stop and leave it for a while, or try something else or email Daniel and say, \u201cUmmm, I'm going to need another day.\u201d I sweated over a whole column two weeks ago and then killed it because: a) it was on the serious side about Buddhists and Muslims in Burma (!); b) it was borderline inflammatory; and c) just not very good.Instead, I threw something together about not being a terrorist, which I don\u2019t think is that great but at least is more in keeping with the satire I usually produce.The worst part isn\u2019t thinking the writing sucks, because it\u2019s never going to be as good as I want it to be under my late-night/early-morning/sec- ond-job writing circumstances.That's the work part, and I know that some days I'm going to produce better work than others.It\u2019s when the ideas just don\u2019t come that\u2019s the worst.When you can\u2019t come up with an idea, you feel like you're never going to come up with an idea again.There\u2019s a life-ending feeling when that happens \u2014 not suicidal, I mean that this part of my life is dying.It\u2019s awful and it\u2019s depressing and dread the day when it\u2019s real.MF: Have you ever filed a column that you knew was totally not funny?RM: HOW DARE YOU! Certainly not as funny or well-written as they should be.I've also done more serious turns, like writing about the Roma immigrants crossing the border.They can\u2019t all be winners.But don\u2019t worry, none of those make it into the book.MF: And has The Record ever said, like, dude, we just can\u2019t run this?RM: They are really, really good about giving me free rein.I can think of only one time when Eleanor Brown said, \u201cAre you sure you want to say this, because.\u201d She then gave me some information that made me realize I was inadvertently making a slur that hadn\u2019t been my intent.And, no, I won't tell you what it was.Same with radio.Peter Black has always been very supportive and forgiving.MF: What would you say was your wittiest column ever?RM: Sweet lord! How about just tell you a couple of favourites from my book?One is called \u201cMy fair memories,\u201d which recalls my first trip to the Ayer\u2019s Cliff fair back in 1934.I also enjoy writing poetry \u2014 it\u2019s terrible but I get a kick out of it, and it\u2019s all about me, right?So there\u2019s some of that in the book, including \u201cOf thee we singe,\u201d which includes some patriotic Canadian poetry.Here's a verse: 0 Canada, you're so infinite The hockey, you are into it In canoes, you're sometimes intimate 0 Canada, that's you God, now that I think about it, that\u2019s not very witty at all.MF: Are you funnier in person or in print?RM: Weren't you paying attention?Print! ME: Do you spell neighbour with a \u201cu\u201d?RM: Obstinately \u201cu.\u201d ME: Anything else you want to add?RM: The world can be a distressing place sometimes, and people often say to me they like reading my column or hearing me on the radio because a laugh is a change from all the dreariness they see and hear elsewhere in the media.I'm not saying we should turn our heads US bill would give Canadian snowbirds more time to By Julian Beltrame The Canadian Press able to spend an extra two months nesting in their favourite sunshine state each year.US legislation winding its way through Congress would allow Canadians aged 55 and older to spend up to 240 days \u2014 about eight months \u2014 in the country without a visa, 58 days longer than the current 182-day annual limit.The provision is not yet law, but it has the backing of powerful New York Sen.Charles Schumer, who was recently one of the leading voices to speak out against a rejected proposal to impose a border

nationals from several other countries.\u201cEach of these provisions makes individual sense on the merits,\u201d the spokesman is quoted as saying.\u201cThey each solve inequities in the existing immigration law.\u201d The Canadian Snowbird Association says it has been pushing for the change for years.A previous bill died in committee, but association researcher Evan Rachkovsky said he believes the latest proposal stands a good chance of passage.The Senate version of the bill could be voted on this summer.Rachkovsky said his organization has talked to more than 100 members of the US Congress \u2014 Democrats and Republicans alike \u2014 and has found wide support for the proposal.\u201cThat it\u2019s attached to comprehensive Casters snowbirds may soon be immigration reform, I think that increases the likelihood of it becoming law,\u201d he said.\u201cWe definitely remain optimistic.\u201d Some stumbling blocks to the practicality of spending eight months of the year in the US remain, however.Health coverage from Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba permits a maximum of seven months per year outside the country, meaning snowbirds would only likely get another month\u2019s pass.In many other provinces, including Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, the limit is the equivalent of six months.But some provinces have introduced some flexibility.Quebec, for instance, permits residents to have short stays outside the province beyond the six-month limit, Rachkovsky said.It is unclear how provinces would react if the US limit were expanded.Canadians represent a major boost to the economy in the US, particularly southern states such as Florida.Recently the state dropped a provision requiring an annual international drivers permit after objections raised from the strong Canadian lobby.In 2011, more than 44 million Canadians travelled to the US, spending more than $16.5 billion.As well, Canadians are by far the largest foreign buyers of residential real estate in the US, purchasing an estimated $20 billion of housing in 2012 alone.Rachkovsky said a major reason for seeking the change is that Canadians who spend the winter in the southern US often complain to his association Humourist Ross Murray read several excerpts from his new book, Don\u2019t Everyone Jump at Once, launched at the Haskell last weekend.away

always monitor legislation impacting Canada very closely, and we support any efforts to increase trade and tourism between our two countries,\u201d a spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs said in response to an e-mail query.Canada also has a rule that allows Americans to spend a maximum of six months north of the border.- 3D Guns CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 7 huge economic and security implications of this new technology.The 3D printers will get better and cheaper, and they will be able to produce much more impressive weapons.Forget about banning assault weapons; people will be able to make them at home.More importantly, they will also be able to 3D-print almost any other mass- produced item whose components are less than a metre (three feet) long.This has serious implications for retailers of such items - the Walmarts of the world - but also for entire countries whose economy depends heavily on manufacturing and exporting items of this sort.Even the cheapest labour is

bad idea.\u2014 No Hypocrite in Paducah, Ky.Dear Paducah: Addictions, regardless of type, involve the inability to control one\u2019s appetite, whether it be for food, drugs, liquor, gambling, whatever.Unlike most other addictions, however, one cannot give up food altogether.So while we agree that there is hypocrisy, and of course moderation is best, there is in fact a difference between food, which is necessary for life, and alcohol, which is not.Imagine how much harder it would be to control your addiction if you were told that you absolutely must have three shots a day, but not a fourth.Or a beer.Or a replacement from the well-stocked pantry.Not an excuse, mind you.just an observation.Dear Annie: I agree with \u201cRetired Teacher\u201d about high school guidance counselors.She is right on the money.Guidance counselors are not in schools to assist students with personal problems.That isn\u2019t even in their job description.Their primary function is to advise students about the courses they need to graduate.After that, a multitude of assessment responsibilities fill their time.While many may wish they could counsel to the emotional well-being of their students, they simply don\u2019t have the time.\u2014 K.Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.rp The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com 4 2 \u201c1 RATE\" £t - THURSDAY, May 16, 2013 Page 13 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people.past and present Each fetter in the cipher stands for another.\u201cRXUH XA ZV ZLZFXVM MXUE Ei EPIAH OPI PZWH IWHDYILH MDHZE IGAEZYRHA, ZVC ZEEXEJCH XA HWHDBEPXVM!\u201d \u2014 AZAPZ ZFHWHCI Previous Solution: \u201cLife is .an overlong drama through which we sit being nagged by the vague memories of having read the reviews.\u201d \u2014 John Updike TODAY'S CLUE.© Sjenbe w KIT N° CARLYLE re Ha kitncariyle@comcast.net www.GoComics.com \u2014\u2014 \u2014_ \u2014 You WERE EATING My Luc WHIVE | FLED YOUR Disp WITH CAT MP) WEREN'T You?© 2013 UFS, Inc.Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS HERMAN 5-16 © LaughingStock International Inc .Dist.by Universal UClick tor UFS.2013 \u201cHow does anyone get four aces six times in a row?\u201d ALLEY OoP WHY THAT MAN | \u201c1S TRAPPED IN THE PIT?ARLO & JANIS se 7 4/ NOT THAT IT'S ANY FP O' YOUR BUSINESS, BUT HE PLOTTED AN Jo, YT ATTACK ON MOO!

troughs.They come in varying sizes and many antique troughs are collectible for home decor.There are also French bread/baguette pans that \"have troughs, too.The pan helps French bread hold its shape, offers ventilation (some swear it makes all the difference for the crust) and allows the baker to bake multiple loaves at a time.These pans are typically non-stick and perforated.You can find them at
