Record Staff The Memphremagog Hospital Foundation received an unexpected donation from the company MedSup Canada, headed by Éric Éthier.Wishing to give back to organizations in his community, the Magog businessman donated 1 million general purpose procedure masks to the foundation, a donation worth $170,000.Called upon to reinvent himself as his company Média Spec, which specializes in events, was facing the cancellation of all its contracts, Éthier and his partners seized the opportunity to get into the race for personal protective equipment.\u201cThis project, which started in my basement, quickly came to fruition.So much so that my company became the largest wholesaler of personal protective equipment in Canada with warehouses in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Magog.We distribute tens of millions of products every week in Canada, the USA and, most recently, internationally,\u201d explained the young entrepreneur.In light of the recent Mauricie/ Centre- du-Quebec turning red COURTESY MEMPHREMAGOG HOSPITAL FOUNDATION Pascale Gingras, Director General of the Memphremagog Hospital Foundation, Éric Éthier, President/Director general of MedSup and Keith Éthier, vice-president of business development for the company.CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 2 Thursday, October 22, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Ben by Daniel Shelton The Record e-edition There for you 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week.Wherever you are.Access the full edition of the Sherbrooke Record as well as special editions and 30 days of archives.Renew or order a new 12-month print subscription and get a 12-month online subscription for an additional $5 or purchase the online edition only for $125.00 Record subscription rates (includes Quebec taxes) For print subscription rates, please call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com 12 month web only: $125.00 1 month web only: $11.25 Web subscribers have access to the daily Record as well as archives and special editions.Subscribing is as easy as 1,2,3: 1.Visit the Record website: www.sherbrookerecord.com 2.Click e-edition.3.Complete the form and wait for an email activating your online subscription.Weather TODAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH 13 LOW 8 FRIDAY: CLOUDY, CHANCE OF SHOWERS HIGH 19 LOW 12 SATURDAY: RAIN HIGH 11 LOW -3 SUNDAY: SUNNY HIGH 6 LOW -2 MONDAY: RAIN HIGH 9 LOW 5 A man explains the real reason he won\u2019t wear a mask Listen up, sheeple! As a real man who can grow a beard just like Donald Trump Jr.and those guys who plotted to kidnap that governor, I\u2019m here to tell you in a loud, aggressive manner why you won\u2019t see me wearing a stupid face mask anytime soon.You didn\u2019t even ask but I\u2019m going to tell you because I\u2019ve got you cornered here, plus free speech and being an emboldened white man.No, I said \u201cembolden,\u201d not \u201cI\u2019m baldin\u2019.\u201d I shave my head on purpose, yo! The government says it wants us to wear masks to \u201cprotect ourselves\u201d and \u201cstop the spread of COVID\u201d and \u201cnot kill Grandma.\u201d But that\u2019s not what this is about.No sir.This is about the Government plotting to take away our liberties and our God-given right to full- facedness.But as a patriot of the greatest country on Earth, where my own personal needs and comfort are second only to loving the ?ag and whatever overly compensated sports team plays in my geographical area, I am here to say I refuse! I refuse because I am a free white man! I refuse because I get angry and frustrated when I don\u2019t fully understand things.But mostly I refuse because I\u2019ve realized from wearing a mask that my breath smells like a gas station men\u2019s room.I am deeply outraged that the Government expects me to marinate my lower face in the rancid fug of my own pie hole.If they think they can force me to subject myself to the dank fumes that seep out my mouth like discarded styrofoam meat trays left in a hot car, they got another \u201cstink\u201d coming.At ?rst, I was like you.I followed orders.I did what \u201cscience\u201d and \u201ccommon sense\u201d told me.I wore a mask.Plus, I needed a new noise ampli?er for my leaf blower, and they wouldn\u2019t let me into BlowHardWare without one.Hey, those neighbors aren\u2019t going to annoy themselves, you know! So one day I\u2019ve got my camo- print mask on, feeling okay about it, especially the way it complements my many gold chains and \u201cAll-Terrain Or Die\u201d tank top, and I\u2019m going into the store, when I say to myself, \u201cDid someone open a bag of moist hockey gear?Do I smell cream-of-diaper soup?\u201d Then I realized, no! It was me! What I was smelling was the crypt breath from my own tongue cave.All my rancid lunch funk was trapped under the mask, made even worse by my festering beard curd.And I knew then and there that it went against God\u2019s immaculate design to force a person\u2019s nose to recirculate in such close proximity to one\u2019s own mouth, especially when said malodorous ori?ce stinks like the yawn of a gingivitis-prone cat after a long nap.With that mask on, I was unable to socially distance my nose holes from my gut funnel.That is why I will not wear a mask.I have a primordial right to protect my personal health and well-being from the hell-rot of my own burrito dump.More importantly, masks impinge on my freedom to do with my sewer- spewer what the Good Lord designed it for: to breathe Hell\u2019s own maggot breath on those I in?ict my unwanted opinions on.When I get in someone\u2019s face to shout with fractured logic that the Government can\u2019t tell me what to do with my body, I want that face, like mine, to be unencumbered so that they can truly appreciate my arguments and the way my breath calls to mind a ?re at a meat rendering plant.Whenever I attend an anti-mask rally, I express my right to release from my mask-free mouth the fetid fumes of unwashed teenage armpit.When I argue that I don\u2019t know anyone who\u2019s gotten sick from the virus, therefore I don\u2019t believe the virus is real, I want to say it accompanied by the toxic stench of a dead mouse somewhere in a heating duct.This is my right as a citizen of this great country: to talk with very little intelligence about COVID droplets and mask-penetrating moisture molecules while bathing unsuspecting victims in the perfectly pungent alchemy of coffee, cheese and poor dental hygiene.No one can take this away from me, not Big Science, not Big Tech, not Big Govern-Mint.Give me liberty and give me bad breath! Don\u2019t let tyranny, like my breath, drive you to your knees! All right, you little kids better get to school now.Oof \u2026 It\u2019s hot.Anyone else ?nd it hot\u2026?No?Just me\u2026?Ross Murray WETLANDS ARE DISAPPEARING Protect them.Become a member

?rst year trying a \u2018reverse Advent\u2019 food drive.Record Staff Culture Minister Nathalie Roy and Education Minister Jean-François Roberge are asking professional artists and writers to apply to the Répertoire culture-éducation, an initiative that aims to provide artistic and literary activities to young students.The project targets children of all ages.The application portal opens on Oct.22 and concludes on Jan.15, 2021.People interested in the project can apply at https://cultureeducation.mcc.gouv.qc.ca/inscription.\u201cCultural experiences are essential in the educational journey of our children and youth, as they nourish their imagination and stimulate their creativity,\u201d said Roy.The government will publish successful applications in the fall of 2021.The plan is to keep the projects active on the website\u2019s directory for three academic years between 2021 and 2024.Artists, writers and cultural organizations must present an idea that follows health guidelines.The Répertoire culture-éducation is an offshoot of the government\u2019s plan to reinvigorate cultural activities in schools and ?eld trips.The Ministry of Culture also sent out a call for projects supporting cultural programs in the education sector.\u201cQuebec schools play an important role in developing young people\u2019s interest in the arts and literature in all their forms,\u201d said Roberge.By Reann Fournier Special to The Record Around 50 women from the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) in the Townships are coming together to collect food items in a countdown to Christmas instead of a traditional Advent calendar.While in-person meetings have ceased for some the CFUW special interest groups, the members are coming up with creative ways to stay connected to the community by supporting local businesses, students, and now a food drive to supply families with food during the holiday season.\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of warmth in the group,\u201d said Shelley Slater, the organizer for the drive.\u201cWe miss seeing each other but want to make sure people know we\u2019re still in the community and active here.\u201d Typically, the CFUW focuses on education in the community.The group is made up of volunteers who host a public speaking contest yearly, mentor students and advocate for issues related to the Townships.One of their main focuses this year is care for the elderly.This is the ?rst year trying a \u2018reverse Advent\u2019 food drive.Slater said she has been blown away by how interested the members immediately were.\u201cOnly two weeks ago, I shared the idea with the group and now we have about 50 women banding together to collect food to donate,\u201d she said.\u201cThe response was outstanding.\u201d The original idea was to have members set aside a food item each day until Christmas Eve.\u201cThat works well if you just have one family that you\u2019re sponsoring,\u201d said Slater.\u201cWe wanted it to be a local thing, so I phoned food banks and added the things they need to a list.\u201d Slater explained that the boxes are holiday geared, and members will be dropping them off in early December, allowing the food banks time to sort the items and process them properly.Slater added that the CSUW members are actively involved in the drive in more ways than one.\u201cWe\u2019ve partnered some members who are unable to shop with those who will shop for them, and we have several volunteers to help with deliveries.\u201d Moisson Estrie, Cornerstone, and the Women\u2019s Shelter in Lennoxville, and the food bank in Magog, among several churches and other organizations in the area, will be receiving donations from members of the CFUW.Slater said that she would be making this an annual event as long as she stays involved with the CFUW.\u201cIt would be great to see the community become involved, and I hope that it will become an annual event for the group,\u201d she said.If you would like to help by collecting a basket in support of local food banks and CFUW, contact Shelley Slater at shelley.slater@icloud.com .Quebec government calls on writers and artists to submit school projects Putting a new twist on Advent As much of our national climate conversation focuses on the negative, we often forget that this crisis is also an opportunity to create a better world.St.Paul\u2019s United Church in Magog, Que., is an example of folks working together to save the planet while acting as a catalyst for a stronger local green economy.In 2018, the church\u2019s furnace, in this case a gas-powered steam furnace named Betsy, was given a year or so to live.While Betsy had done her job admirably for many years, her disrepair could result in a sanctuary closing.The options looked bleak.The use of steam or hot water to heat the sanctuary was no longer considered a viable option as the repair and replacement costs were close to $100,000.At the suggestion of a trusted local contractor, St.Paul\u2019s United discovered a Quebec-based company \u2013 EcoRad - that converts cast iron steam radiators into stand-alone electric units.The bene?ts were numerous: cast iron radiators are excellent heaters; reusing the radiators would keep them out of the land?ll; and conversion from gas to electric would decrease the Church\u2019s carbon footprint.This option was also considerably more affordable than the alternatives.The total cost of $37,200 was paid for with a United Church of Canada \u201cFaithful Footprints\u201d grant, fundraising efforts and $1,800 worth of volunteer labour.Ultimately, the greening of the St.Paul\u2019s United congregation was a team effort.Rev Lee Ann Hogle worked with the church\u2019s \u201cGreen Team\u201d to not only investigate the options and help with energy management, but to also support the furnace conversion itself.\u201cWe are proud to support a Quebec- based green tech company and know we can work with them to make sure the heating system works well,\u201d said trustee Garth Fields.Submitted by Lucy Cummings A Green Community Catalyst success, Éthier wanted to give back to his community.By entrusting 1 million masks to the foundation, he felt that the organization was best placed to redistribute to people in need through the various organizations in the MRC.\u201cThis generous donation comes at a time when the needs are very present in many organizations in the region.It is important to be vigilant and continue to comply with health regulations.When Éric contacted us and mentioned that he wanted to give us a 53 boxes ?lled with masks, we were very surprised and especially touched by his great generosity,\u201d commented Pascale Gingras, Executive Director of the Hospital Foundation.\u201cThe CEPOP, the Villa Pierrot, the Maison de la Famille, the Beebe Centre d\u2019Action Bénévole, Phelps Helps and many other organizations have already received boxes of masks.Masks donated COURTESY LEE ANN HOGLE CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE

Ferland and mayor of Stanstead East, Gilbert Ferland.Royal Canadian Legion Branch 128 is also joining the ?ght against COVID-19 by limiting the scope of 2020 Remembrance activities.To avoid the risk of exposing the public and Legion members and Veterans to community transmission, there will be no public ceremonies this year in churches or War memorials.Legion Branch 128 will, however, still honour the sacri?ce made by fallen comrades and veterans through the laying of a wreath at each of the Monuments in Magog, Ayer\u2019s Cliff and Hatley.The wreathes will be laid at 11 on Nov.11 and will include the respective mayors accompanied by two Legion members.Spectators are discouraged from attending in person but during the rest of the day, individuals will have the opportunity to lay their own wreath or ?owers in memory of family members.The Poppy Campaign will take place as in previous years starting on Oct.30 and ending on the Nov.11.The campaign is an important Legion initiative meant to directly support Veterans and their families.Poppy boxes will be available in various stores and businesses while donations can be sent to Legion Branch 128, 176 Rosedale St,

tirelessly for their organizations and our partners at the MRC Coaticook and the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.While I\u2019m thanking people, I think Mr.Neil Tillotson should be mentioned also.If not for Neil Tillotson, this fund and many of the charitable organizations supported by it would not exist today.Neil Tillotson is said to have been born in Canaan Vermont on Dec.16, 1898 but in actual fact, he was born on Hereford Hill in Quebec.Neil didn\u2019t ?nish high school, but he got into the latex rubber business early in life and achieved success with one of his ?rst products, a balloon with cat ears.Once he saw the smiles on the kids\u2019 faces, Neil knew he had a winner.Over the years Mr.Tillotson built many companies, most of them revolved around latex rubber.He began Best Glove Manufacturing in 1978.He bought the old Penmans factory in Coaticook.I worked there for 32 years and Mr.Tillotson never took any pro?ts from the company.When Neil Tillotson died in 2001, he was 102 years old.He owned companies in the USA, Canada and Guatemala.He also owned the Balsams, a resort in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire as well as Hereford Mountain and 13,800 acres of land.Wanting to give back to the communities that helped him succeed, most of his wealth was donated to the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.Estimates are close to $100 million.He also donated the Hereford Mountain and 13,800 acres to the village of East Hereford and St-Hermenegilde.This had never happened before in Tillotson Coaticook Region Fund donates $124,600 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 5 PRINTED AND

idiot?\u201cPeople are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots .Fauci\u2019s a disaster.\u201d - President Donald Trump, Monday, October 19 When the President of the United States calls the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and his fellow scientists \u201cidiots\u201d, the American public should probably sit up and take notice.Unfortunately, those who are used to Trump spouting nonsense and invective aren\u2019t startled by one more stupid tweet and those who support him are more likely to say he\u2019s just telling it like it is.But is he?Let\u2019s start with the President.Donald John Trump went to New York Military Academy, one of the oldest military prep schools in the United States, where he is said to have done well, although it appears he majored in soccer and baseball.He also became Cadet Captain.NYMA is also where he took to heart his mentor\u2019s unof?cial motto, \u201cWinning isn\u2019t the important thing.It\u2019s the only thing.\u201d In 1964 he went to Fordham University but after two years switched to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania where he received a B.A.in economics in 1968.Rumour has it that the switch in schools came because of poor grades.On the other hand, Trump claims he graduated top of his class.Neither claim can be proven because the President had his legal team bar any of his former schools from releasing his academic records.What is known, is that over the working career of this self-proclaimed \u201cstable genius,\u201d his companies have faced over 4,000 state and federal legal actions.On to the idiot.John Anthony Fauci attended the Jesuit run College of the Holy Cross one of the oldest and most respected colleges in the United State.In 1962 he obtained a B.A.in classics on a pre-med track.He then attended the Medical School of Cornell University where he graduated with a Doctor of Medicine degree.He also graduated top in his class but, unlike The Donald, you can check Fauci\u2019s record.Since that time, he has developed therapies for formerly fatal diseases, helped create the President\u2019s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief and written hundreds of papers on the immune system.Between 1983 and 2002 Fauci was the 13th most cited scientist among 2.5 to 3 million authors.According to many of his peers, Fauci is the most knowledgeable specialist in the area of viral infections and the workings of the immune system in the entire United Sates.According to Donald Trump\u2019s peers, he doesn\u2019t read anything that takes more than one page to write and he cheats at golf.Admittedly, Trump isn\u2019t the only politician that has ever got a little creative with his curriculum vitae.Joe Biden, for example, claimed he graduated in the top half of his law school class at Syracuse.When it was pointed out that he was actually 76th in a class of 85, Biden gave the usual political \u2018oops\u2019 and never mentioned it again.Whether Biden was lying or is just mathematically challenged we\u2019ll likely never know.What we do know is that to this date under President Trump\u2019s \u2018plan\u2019, there have been 8,362,181 cases of COVID-19 in the U.S., up 60,931 from yesterday, and 224,308 deaths.I\u2019ll let you decide who\u2019s the idiot.Tim Belford The Record is appreciateive of the many cards of thanks

you\u2019ve probably caught yourself doing or thinking something that\u2014upon closer inspection\u2014seems completely stupid or limiting.Maybe you\u2019ve unconsciously persuaded yourself that there are right and wrong ways to hunt a deer or present your ?y to a brook trout.And yet, upon closer inspection, the conventions of today are revealed as the heresies of days gone by.My intention here is not to mount a relativist argument.Surely, the world of ?shing and hunting does contain some reliable truths: good anglers and hunters have the ability to maximize their odds\u2014that\u2019s true.But, it\u2019s also true that no angler or hunter possesses the omnipotence to determine the outcome of a single hunt or ?shing trip\u2014barring a \u2018miracle\u2019 like that which is written in the Gospel of Luke.Snobby as it may sound, even \u2018blind squirrels\u2019 sometimes happen upon a nut.If you\u2019re privy to the story of the record Idaho mule deer that Grover Browning shot in 1960, you know what I mean.The details of a pre-digital age story get pretty fuzzy after a half century of hearsay, but reliable accounts suggest that Grover\u2014like virtually all hunters\u2014 had no hopes or ambitions of shooting a record buck on what turned into a record-setting day.Grover took aim at a nice-looking buck that happened to walk within range, and in pulling the trigger on his ri?e, took his place in the annals of mule deer history.I imagine lots of very similar stories exist behind other record catches and kills.Without a doubt, many bass ?shing enthusiasts would be surprised to learn the story of the heaviest largemouth bass to be caught legally by an angler and recognized formally by the International Game Fish Association.Manabu Kurita\u2019s 22lb, 5oz, record bass wasn\u2019t fooled by a plastic worm, spinnerbait, or even a swimbait\u2014it wasn\u2019t even caught on the species\u2019 native continent of North America.Kurita landed the absurd ?sh in Japan\u2019s Lake Biwa, using\u2014of all things\u2014a live 10\u201d bluegill as bait.The popularity of bass ?shing is tough to convey, and countless professional and recreational anglers spend untold hours every year pursuing what only Kurita has accomplished\u2014 albeit, with very different methods.The use of a live bluegill as bait might seem blasphemous to many dedicated North American bass ?shers, and in certain ?sheries management zones, would be a ticketable offense for local game wardens.And yet, Kurita\u2019s bass co- occupies ?rst place in the largemouth bass record books.For years, an upstream dead drift was considered the only \u2018proper\u2019 way to ?sh a dry ?y to European and North American trout.However, after decades of evolution in dry ?y ?shing, a skated dry ?y is among the most prestigious ways of taking the most sought-after salmonid ?shes in steelhead, and Atlantic salmon.If there\u2019s a moral to stories like these, it\u2019s that angling conventions occasionally become too constraining! All this talk about \u2018rule breaking\u2019 has me thinking about ways to spend the remainder of my week: should I go throw massive streamers to late-season muskie in one of Canada\u2019s largest cities with tarpon ?y gear?Perhaps live bait ?shing for October channel cat?sh would be a better option.You\u2019d have a hard time ?nding literature to validate these approaches as \u2018proper\u2019 ways of ?shing in the fall, but that won\u2019t stop me from trying.I have no expectations of landing a record ?sh this fall, but knowing that my approach to ?shing is somewhat novel makes it feel as if something really, really good has the potential to happen each day.Today, countless ?shing and hunting shows, blogs, and magazines are in circulation, telling you that bass should be taken with arti?cial lures, and that whitetail deer are best hunted from a tree stand.And so, it\u2019s worth remembering that rules\u2014unless written in law\u2014are often meant to be broken.Andrew Howarth On The Hook ANDREW HOWARTH Rules are only rules\u2014proof of concept: a 21\u201d smallmouth bass fooled by a steelhead ?y.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 8 Thursday, October 22, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Death Death In Memoriam In Memoriam Iris (MacLeod) HUNTING At the age of 91, Iris passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 17, 2020 at the Grace Village.Predeceased by her parents Albert and Blanche and husband Ross Hunting.Survived by her sister Bertie (MacLeod) Atwood and children Karl (Barbara Patrick), Ward, Heidi (Jaime Caro) and Rebecca (Hunting Keen).Grandchildren Benjamin (Yee-Fun Wong), Rachel (Joey Laramee), Elena (Anna Galanomatis), Anthony and Alie (Justin Wulf), Cassidy and Robbie Keen .Great-grandchildren Ella Grace and Zoe Galanomatis Caro.Due to the times in which we are living, there will be no service until we can all be together.A huge thank you to the staff at Grace Village, especially to the nurses in Wing C, for the wonderful care Mom received.In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heritage Huntingville for the care of the church can be sent to P.O.Box 325, Succ.Lennoxville, Sherbrooke, QC, J1M 1Z5.Arrangements entrusted to Cass Funeral Home.Lillian Nelis (Née Brunger) 1931-2020 Passed away peacefully in Farnham, on October 19th, 2020, at the age of 89, wife of the late Mathie Nelis, daughter of late Charles Brunger and Florence Ruth Gogen.Lifelong resident of Bedford.She leaves to mourn her daughters: Mary (Marcel Dupont), Elizabeth (André Jacques), Julie (Stéphane Marois), her grandchildren: Mathieu, Melissa, Monika, Tristan, Kevin, Vincent, Thomas, her nieces and nephews, her brother-in- law Jerry Greig, other relatives and dear friends.She is predeceased by her sisters: Dorothy, Charlotte, Esther, Peggy, Shirley and her brother Edward.Visitation will be held at: Complexe funéraire BROME-MISSISQUOI 215 rue de la Rivière, Bedford, Qc 450 248-2911 complexefuneraire.ca Friday, October 23rd 2020 from 7 to 9 p.m.A private funeral service will take place Saturday, October 24th, 2020 at the funeral home.The familly would like to thank the personnel at the CHSLD in Farnham, for all the great care rendered to Mrs.Brunger.\u201cYou guys were amazing, you took such great care of our mother\u201d In her memory donations to the Foyers Farnham would be appreciated by the family.https://fondationfoyersfarnham.org/ Jennifer DAIGNAULT In cherished and loving memory of our dear daughter and sister who passed away on October 22, 1996.Let this be a loving reminder That someone is missing today, Someone our hearts still hold onto As we travel along life\u2019s way.Someone who made life so special For all those who gather here, Someone who won\u2019t be forgotten, But cherished from year to year.Always remembered and loved, MOMMY TIM, JANET, DEBBIE, SCOTT AND THEIR FAMILIES Jennifer DAIGNAULT 1977 \u2013 1996 In memory of my daughter, Jennifer, who passed away on this date in 1996.And while she lies In peaceful sleep Her memory I shall always keep.Love you always baby, DADDY MASTINE -

Then East got two club tricks to defeat the game.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 10 Thursday, October 22, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Go grocery sho pping with diet itians.When you choo se products with the Health Chec k symbol, it's like shopping with t he Heart and Str oke Foundation\u2019s die titians, who eval uate every partic ipating product b ased on Canada 's Food Guide.www.healthche ck.org REALITY CHECK HERMAN ALLEY OOP ARLO & JANIS THE BORN LOSER FRANK AND ERNEST GRIZZWELLS THATABABY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday, October 22, 2020 Page 11 Call Sherbrooke: (819) 569-9525 between 8:30 a.m.and 4:30 p.m.E-mail: classad@sherbrookerecord.com or Knowlton: (450) 242-1188 between 9:00 a.m.and noon CLASSIFIED Deadline: 12:30 p.m.one day prior to publication Or mail your prepaid classi?ed ads to The Record, 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1M 2E2 100 Job Opportunities 100 Job Opportunities 275 Antiques WE BUY from the past for the future, one item or a household, attic or basement, shed or garage.We like it all, give us a call.819- 837-2680.290 Articles for Sale 240 Fruits & Vegetables Sink or swim THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2020 Dear Annie: My sister-in-law of more than 40 years has again done something that I feel is disrespectful.She has taken one of my granddaughters under her wing.What\u2019s wrong with that?A few years ago, our then-21-year-old granddaughter moved in with us to save money.We gave her three months, rent-free, to get on her feet; her grandfather also cooked lunch and dinner for her, without cost.She agreed to save $1,000 a month and use it to rent an apartment and eventually it became a down payment on a house.She ended up living with us for almost two and a half years.During that time, she should have saved more than $20,000.Instead, she invested thousands into a scam business by a boyfriend.We were ready to ask her to move out late last year, but then she learned she was pregnant.We agreed to support her until the baby was born.She agreed she would have her own apartment before the baby came but stay with us till she went into labor.Well, she never actually went to look at apartments, just found excuses why none of them would work.One day, I found one she could afford, in a good neighborhood, not too far from her work.She refused to even go look at it, and over the next hour or so, in text messages, she became belligerent.When she said: \u201cYou\u2019re stressing me out! If I lose this baby, I hope you commit suicide!\u201d That was the last straw.We packed her stuff, put it on the porch and changed the locks.(We\u2019re in our 70s, we weren\u2019t prepared for an angry 20-something.) On that day, she had probably $7,000 in savings and could have easily rented an apartment.Now, enter my sister-in-law, \u201cMayra.\u201d Mayra basically gave her a get-out-of-jail-free card and undercut everything the independence that we were trying to instill in our granddaughter.Mayra lets her stay there with her sometimes.She babysits for her.She lets her use her address for mail.Meanwhile, our daughter lives in a group home provided by a church she never went to, has lost her job and blames us for all of it to anyone who will listen.I don\u2019t want to confront by Mayra because I don\u2019t want to implode the family, again.But I don\u2019t want to pretend that nothing is wrong.So I\u2019ve just been avoiding talking to her.How do I handle these two relationships, or better, how do I NOT?- Peeved Parents Dear Peeved: You were wise to push this overgrown birdy out of the nest so that she might learn how to ?y.Now, let her learn.Don\u2019t track her every move from your perch up above.If your sister-in-law chooses to take her under her wing, that is between the two of them, and it\u2019s in no way a personal affront to you.Once you unburden of the illusion that you can control your granddaughter\u2019s life, I think you\u2019ll ?nd the resentment toward your sister-in-law starting to melt away, and you\u2019ll feel much lighter for it.Dear Annie: I was surprised your answer to \u201cNo Thank You in North Dakota,\u201d who didn\u2019t want strangers buying him or her drinks at bars, did not include anything about the wisdom of sitting in a bar during the pandemic.I understand the writer is a DJ, which I suppose could allow for social distancing, but sitting at a bar does not.This is no time to be sitting at bars.- Missing the Bar in Pennsylvania Dear Missing the Bar: I missed an opportunity there; you\u2019re right.I implore all my readers to refrain from going to bars and dining indoors until we\u2019ve gotten the virus under control with a vaccine.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
