Nonetheless, I did my best to portray my female character, Jemima, as a well- rounded human being.In fact, one in- I: 2016, I published a novel entitled A terviewer told me, \u201cShe\u2019s a real girl,\u201d to which I replied, \u201cSome people have said the same thing about me.\u201d Furthermore, on at least one occasion Jemima expresses her relief at not wearing a bra or alludes to the relief of removing her bra at the end of the day.I apologize for this gender-based assumption.I have no experience wearing a bra and historically limited experience in removing them.As a man, I cannot fully appreciate the full-on encumbrance of bra-dom, and it was wrong of me to appropriate the blessed relief a woman must feel at becoming thusly unhampered.In my defence, I have personally suf fered the agony of restricting undergarments, having once worn an overly snug pair of boxer-briefs that had a bullseye painted on the crotch, which is just begging for trouble, if you ask me.However, I have no legitimate position from which to complain, due to tighty-whitey male privilege.Moving on to other clothing, I feel compelled to point out that the same female protagonist, Jemima, is depicted as habitually wearing rubber boots.The book is set in 1998.I began writing the novel in 2012.In 2014, as I neared completion of the novel, rubber boots became fashionable for women.I therefore must express my deep regret for pre-ap- propriating contemporary fashion culture in a 1990s setting.It was future insensitive of me.The boots did, however, come in handy when Jemima found herself traipsing through the marsh with a visiting biologist.I would like to apologize for making one of my characters a visiting biologist.I did so without fully understanding biologist culture, although I did take Biology in high school, a course that included briefly poking at a formaldehyde cat carcass until it was put away for next year\u2019s class.This did not necessarily inform my understanding of biology; it was just kind of gross.It was insensitive of me to feature a biologist, given that biologists have traditionally suffered significant marginalization at faculty meetings and cocktail parties.I did so only to establish a character who could interact with turtles.I would like to apologize to all turtles and those of turtle lineage for exploiting their heritage for my self-serving fiction needs.Turtles are noble creatures who have too long remained silent.They\u2019ll likely remain silent too, being turtles, but that\u2019s not the point! The point is I appropriated the turtleocracy without a full understanding of the turtle lifestyle, other than a little time browsing the Internet and emailing my brother, who is a real turtle guy.You want to know turtles, my brother\u2019s your man! I would like to apologize to my brother for dragging him into this miserable morass of appropriation apologizing.He was not consulted about his inclusion nor could he have anticipated that I would be exploiting his presence here for satirical purposes.I would like to apologize to satire for dragging this bit far too long.Finally, I am sorry that all the characters in my novel are white, English and straight, but they say write what you know.Employee arrested in Olympique metal robbery Record Staff SHERBROOKE local used metal company took a strange twist this week with the arrest of the alleged victim.This is the fourth suspect in a robbery that took place at Olympique métal in Ascot Corner on June 3.The other three, Kevin Johnson, a 38-year-old from Cow- ansville, Tommy Gauthier, 23, and Jessie Ti case of an armed robbery at a Larose 20, from Bonsecours, face several charges connected with this incident including armed robbery and use of a firearm.Two shots were fired during the event.The men also face several additional weapons charges.The new arrest is that of the employee who handed over $70,000 from the company safe who is alleged to have been aware of whom he was dealing with when two hooded individuals showed up at the end of the day on June 1.Gauthier, Larose, and Johnson were back in court Wednesday at the Sherbrooke court house to set the timing of their hearing on release, but the latest developments could alter the Crown approach to the case.The suspects came in wearing makeshift hood at the company to demand that the employee, whom they evidently knew, to give them some money.The three were arrested shortly after.Ben by Daniel Shelton © 2017 Danicl Shellon Distr.by MWAM DIP YOU MAKE A PLAYLIST LIKE I \"KING OF PAIN.BITES THE PUST .\"RUNNING ON EMFT 7e) \"ENP?OF THE RAP.\"ANOTHER ONE \u201c6 SHEL | HOW CANYOU RUN WITHA) | LIST LIKE THAT 2!

Sherbrooke.ca/aerogare.The Fauchers de Marguerites fly-in event that Boulanger was so involved With is set to take place at the airport this coming weekend.More information about that event is available at lesfauch- ers.com St-Francis playground CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 fundraising and preparing the site dates back to last year.She acknowledged that the play structures have been the main focus of the children\u2019s attention, but pointed out that it was only one of many phases of work in the overhaul of the yard.\u201cWe still have plans to build an outdoor classroom-gazebo type structure,\u201d the PPO chair said, adding that there is also an outdoor basketball court in the plans that should, hopefully, be in place by the end of the summer.After that, she continued, it\u2019s just a matter of \u201cfinishing touches\u201d in the form of landscaping and walking paths that might vary depending on what remains of the budget.Although the fences only come down today, Hinds shared that the St-Francis students have had the special opportunity to \u201ctest run\u201d the equipment over the last two days.On Tuesday students from kindergarten to grade three got to play while grades four to six tried it out on Wednesday class by class.She said her own daughter came home on Tuesday calling the new playground \u201cawesome.\u201d Even with more work ahead, the PPO chair said that she has been really impressed by the community support so far.\u201cWe planned to have four installation days, but we had such a great response from our parents and teachers to come and help that we got all of that work done in three,\u201d Hinds said.\u201cIn fact, we did way more work in three days than we had anticipated doing in four.\u201d Similarly, she said that the PPO is now made up of \u201cexpert fundraisers\u201d because of the work done to prepare for this project over the last year.\u201c(The students) have been eagerly awaiting this day.\u201d Hinds said 7 J \" GORDON LAMBIE Students from the Alfred-Desrochers School in Sherbrooke and a class at Gilbert-Boulanger Elementary School in Courseulles-sur-Mer in France joined the Mayor of Sherbrooke in tossing paper airplanes in celebration on Wednesday afternoon at the naming of the Sherbrooke airport terminal.By Matthew McCully Immex Société Immobilière has invited four local artists to exhibit their work in several of its buildings along King Street West and Boulevard Jacques-Cartier.A vernissage was held on Tuesday evening to launch the project and introduce the artists to the local business community operating in the surrounding buildings.The goal of the \u2018a place for our artists on our walls\u2019 project is to offer Ri estate development company A bridge between the arts and the business world local artists an opportunity to showcase their work and reach a clientele outside a traditional gallery, while creating an inspiring workplace for the business community operating in the Immex rental spaces.\u201cWe have very talented artists in the region and their work deserves to be seen,\u201d said Sébastien Morin, Vice- President of Immex Société Immobilière.The four artists participating in the first edition of the project are Étienne Saint-Amant, Chantal Lagacé, Sandra Tremblay and Monique Voyer.Street West.Artist Étienne Saint-Amant with Sébastien Morin, Vice-President of Immex Société Im- mobiliere, standing beside of one of Saint-Amant's pieces on display at 1910 King - MATTHEW MCCULLY Printed and distributed by PressReader press reader PressReader.com + +1 604 278 4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 4 THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 2017 newsroom(@sherbrookerecord.com The Record New gas bar and car wash at College and Belvedere Es 4, .a en à \u2018 a \u201cad Lg, en : 4 .;

TiM BELFORD season is upon us.Winter plowing and spring pot hole patching are but distant memories as we head into the dog days of infrastructure.For the next three or four months it will be an endless game of \u201cWhere\u2019s Waldo?\u201d but instead of seeking out the colourfully dressed character of children\u2019s books the search is on to locate and avoid the dreaded detour sign.As it stands, bridges are closing and roads are being ripped out.There is paving activity in all directions and pipe lines to be repaired.Your GPS is useless and a safe route across town depends entirely on the anecdotal evidence of those who survived a trip to the Carrefour and lived to tell the tale.But never fear, as usual, mindful of my role as the go-to font of lifestyle information, and with an apology to Condé Nast, I give you Belford\u2019s Travel Guide to Greater Sherbrooke.To begin with the Joffre bridge on Galt St.has been reduced to one lane.Avoid if possible.If you intend to use it to access St.Francis St.forget about it since Bown St.is closed until the Joffre bridge is down to one lane in the other direction.When the Joffre bridge is reopened in July work will immediately begin on the Aylmer bridge on King St.on the theory that too many bridges can never be a good thing.Speaking of bridges, the Massawippi bridge leading to Bishop\u2019s University will be reduced to one lane until early July and then closed entirely until mid August just in time for the return of the students and the resultant traffic jams I seems that the summer road-work we have come to know and love.For those wishing to access Fleurimont, Cookshire or Gould the Joffre bridge will be your best option, providing Queen St.in Lennoxville is open.(Note: scattered repairs to sidewalks, sewer lines, hydro connections and potholes will make this unlikely except between the hours of 2 a.m.and 4 a.m.) For those residents of the borough of Lennoxville including, Huntingville and Viewpoint, access to the St.Francis bridge and the north side of the St.Francis river can be attempted via Winder Stand Glenday Road.It should be noted, however, that Winder St, may or may not be under construction depending on the whim of unionized paving crews.Glen- day Road will also be temporarily reduced from a two-lane, badly paved goat track to a one-lane gravel road in anticipation of the arrival of highway 410 sometime in 2025.Residents of the Borough of Lennoxville can reduce stress levels and travel inconveniences by following a few simple rules suggested by the City of Sherbrooke: 1.Do not leave your immediate neighbourhood for anything other than grocery shopping or medical emergencies (In the latter case, under no circumstances attempt to get to the Hotel Dieu on Bowen St.) 2.Obtain and read the free booklet available at the borough office: \u201cA Short Guide to Interpreting and Understanding Flag and Hand Signals at Road Construction Sites.\u201d 3.Always carry a three-hour supply of drinking water in your vehicle and assorted snacks in case of lengthy delays.4.Never attempt, even with local knowledge, to take a short cut on a posted detour since you may run into unannounced auxiliary work sites.5.Under no circumstance abandon your vehicle at a \u201croad closed\u201d barricade hoping to park there for the night.So there it is.The only saving grace in all of this is that we could be living in Montreal.THE 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIM 2E2 Fax: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON McCuLLy

\"Bill 105 has yet to level the political playing field for parent commissioners.\" Here's why: The piece is another example of the pattern of contempt toward school board democracy and proper ethical conduct that seems to prevail in the elected school board system.Evidence of this was made clear, on two counts, at the May 29, 2017, Lester B.Pearson School Board Council of Commissioners meeting.First: even though my public consultation document on the board's revamped code of ethics contained no defamatory, hateful, racist , xenophobic, sexist or rude remarks, acting chair Noél Burke significantly redacted my submission.Pages were removed and some sentences were blacked-out.Funny thing, the paper was modelled after my 29 and 42-page briefs on school board reform bills 86 and 105, which the National Assembly found suitable, and are posted on its website.(Www.assnat.qc.ca) Second: the last 17 minutes of the webcast meeting have been deleted.This included cutting off another citizen and me at Public Question Period time, which is required by law under Article 168 of the Education Act.Consider: In Sept.2008, touting transparency, the Pearson board was the first school board in Quebec to webcast its Council meetings.Yet, the entire January and April 2017, Council webcast meetings have audio only, no video.Why is that ?Both meetings partly dealt with the sorry spectacle of the scandal-plagued board, based on the ethical misconduct, which was \"well-founded\" by the ethics commissioner, of chair Suanne Stein Day.In my view, the above actions are attempts to keep the community in the dark, cover-up wrongdoings, and suppress democracy.Elected school boards are good at composing Vision Statements,\u2019 which repeatedly disappoint.Consider the ETSB's statement which claims it is: \" A welcoming place, where parents, community members and business partners have an important role to play.\" However, when it comes to budget matters, parents are unenlightened.Same thing at Lester B.They proclaim: \".we value an atmosphere of openness, honesty, integrity and accountability.\" Yet, former long-time vice-chair of Pearson, who ran for chair, in the Now.2014 elections, said \"the school board budget is not even transparent to the commissioners!\" The time is past due when honeyed words mean anything.Thanks to the Internet, parents are a lot more knowledgeable today.ETSB parents say: \"We\u2019re not giving up.we want to see change.\" I believe the first step to change is to dump memberships to the pretentious Quebec English School Boards Association, who claim it is \"the voice of English public education in Quebec.\" Can we really do that?\"Yes, we can !\" I= grateful to Matthew McCully for his June 9, Sherbrooke Record article:

Local Sports Soroka has stayed close to home in the off-season, training at the Canadian Sport Institute with Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell and linebackers Alex Singleton and Deron Mayo.Canadian minor league pitcher Mike Soroka has bright future with Atlanta Braves By Ryan McKenna THE CANADIAN PRESS ohn Smoltz, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine baffled hitters through the 1990s, helping the Atlanta Braves to multiple division titles and a World Series ampionship.The Braves are returning to their strong pitching roots and Canadian Mike Soroka is at the forefront.The 19-year-old Soroka was promoted to double-A to start the 2017 season _ a rarity for a player in his second full season as a pro.Atlanta director of player development Dave Trembley said the promotion wasn't a hard decision.\u201cMike's going to be real special,\u201d Trembley said.\u201cHe's a guy that will take the ball every fifth day, he's going to be a guy that's going to give you a lot of innings.He prepares very well, he's very mature, he knows what he wants.\u201cWe have a lot of confidence in the direction he's going and we see him as a front-line pitcher in Atlanta for a long time.\u201d The Calgary native hasn't disappointed since being promoted, going 7-3 with a 2.45 earned-run average in 12 starts with the Mississippi Braves.He also took a perfect game into the seventh inning of a May 12 start against the Mobile BayBears, retiring the first 19 batters he faced.The six-foot-five, 225-pound right-hander credits playing for the Canadian junior team with helping his transition to the pros after he was selected 28th overall in the 2015 MLB draft.\u201cI was fortunate to be able to hit the learning curve a little sooner than most high school pitchers,\u201d said Soroka.\u201cI kind of realized that everybody throws hard, everybody has good stuff, it's about how you use it, not just what you have anymore.\u201d Soroka ranks fourth on the Braves' MLB.com top prospect rankings.He entered the season at No.48 on Baseball America's top prospects list and No.66 on MLB.com.Six of Atlanta's top 10 prospects are pitchers, including No.3 Kolby Allard, a 19-year-old left-hander and Soroka's roommate.Baseball wasn't always on Soroka's radar.\u201cI thought I was going to be a goalie in the NHL,\u201d said Soroka, who his followed his hometown Flames when they were making a Stanley Cup run in 2004.THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP/ROGELIO V.SOLIS) \u201cTwo of three years after that it kind of wore off but I was already pretty into it.Then by 13, 14, I realized that I didn't love to practise as much as a goalie as I did baseball.\u201d Soroka has stayed close to home in the off-season, training at the Canadian Sport Institute with Stam- peders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell and linebackers Alex Singleton and Deron Mayo.He's also developed a close working relationship and friendship with former major league pitcher Chris Re- itsma, who's been working with Soroka since he was 14.\u201cI feel really connected with him and I can go with him for anything, not just baseball,\u201d Soroka said.\u201cHe realizes a lot of the realities in the game of baseball and the business of baseball.He's been extremely helpful and I definitely wouldn't be as knowledgeable or as confident without him.\u201d Soroka's progress this season has led to a spot in the Southern League's all-star game on June 20 game in Pensacola, Fla., along with Allard.for regional development A J Rooted in its environment, the SADC contributes to the development and well-being

to taking stock \u201cTo have that honour is awesome but there's still another half of the season left and you can make or break a season every start,\u201d he said.\u201cJust being able to enjoy that for that all-star break is going to be unreal and kind of just being able to reset a little bit and stay grounded and go out there and do my thing, that's what I'll need to do.\u201d With both Soroka and Allard in the system, the Braves' starting rotation has a promising future.But Trembley said the franchise will take their time with Soroka.\u201cThe era of John Schuerholz (former Braves GM) and Bobby Cox (former Braves manager), they brought up those guys to the big leagues and let them continue their development in the big leagues,\u201d Trembley said.\u201cI don't think we're reluctant to do that, I just think at this particular point in time, the jump that Mike made, let him pitch where he's at right now and let's see what happens.\u201d hours of business guidance by SADC advisors 70

When they're small, keep them safe and report anything that doesn\u2019t look right.Be a soft place to fall, because they will need it.If your spouse isn\u2019t stepping up to the plate on their behalf, talk privately with your spouse about it.If your spouse is resistant to doing anything to change the situation, walk away, because it never gets better.As the saying goes, \u201cyou teach people how to treat you.\u201d I get that now! \u2014 No Longer a Stepparent Dear No Longer: Though I appreciate your advice to stepparents \u2014 and that last bit is one of my favorite axioms \u2014 I can\u2019t help but wonder whether your severing ties was a little too severe here.You seem to have a good grasp of the way abuse has affected these children and grandchildren.As long as they are not being verbally abusive to you, perhaps you could practice healthy detachment without completely cutting off all communication.You can build an emotional shield around yourself without having it be a wall.Dear Annie: In response to \u201cFed Up,\u201d whose co-worker always comments on her meal choices, I'd like to say that it\u2019s quite possible the coworker has an eating disorder.My cousin constantly remarks on my food choices, and I finally realized that her own eating issues are at the heart of her comments and that she is looking for attention about how \u201chealthy\u201d her own food choices are.\u2014 Been There Dear Been There: You could very well be right.Rather than be defensive when someone fixates on our food choices, perhaps we should be concerned for the person.To anyone worried about a friend or family member\u2019s eating habits, please visit https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org.Send your questions for Annie Lane to dear- annie@creators.com.\"Two honoured 1n SUDOKU DIFFICULTY RATING: %& % ev 4 £a À pa -
