August 25, 2021 Celebrating the end of summer soccer Vaccine passport app available this week By Gordon Lambie Quebec\u2019s vaccine passport system is on track to start Sept.1 as planned, according to Health Minister Christian Dubé.Following the pilot projects that have taken place in different parts of the province over the last week, Dubé said that the mobile applications that the system is based upon will be made available for download in the coming days, and that the businesses where the passports will be required will be expected to start scanning for them as of the beginning of next month.Dubé also repeated the fact that a wallet-sized card version of a person\u2019s QR code proof of vaccination will be available to those who request it in order to allow anyone without a smartphone to still make use of the system.The Health Minister did not offer further clari?cation of how one is expected to request the card, however.Following the introduction of the new system, a ?fteen-day grace period will apply before any kind of penalty is applied for businesses not enforcing the system properly.\u201cWe want to avoid closing businesses and cancelling activities,\u201d Dubé said, reiterating the fact that the point of the passport system is to allow people who have sought the added protection of the vaccine the bene?t of their choices, rather than continuing to shut things down systematically in the face of rising Covid numbers.COURTESY By Gordon Lambie The Richmond Celtics soccer club marked the end of the soccer season for 2021 over the weekend with a hot-dog lunch, cotton candy, and live entertainment, celebrating a year that saw the club\u2019s highest level of participation in recent history.According to organizing committee member Andrea Barrie, the group had 180 registrations this year for players ranging from four to 45 years of age.\u201cWe were really happy,\u201d said Barrie, who is a part of the eight-volunteer team that makes summer soccer possible each year.The registration for the summer of 2021 was nearly double that of the previous summer, but even factoring for 2020 having been an unusual year, the organizer said that this year also had almost 50 more players than the summer of 2019.\u201cMaybe it\u2019s because everyone was so shut in?I don\u2019t know,\u201d she said.Regardless of what drew them in, it\u2019s clear that soccer was attractive to families with young children in the Richmond area this summer, as the club saw 36 players registered in the U4 to U6 age ranges and another 39 in the seven- and eight-year-old range.CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 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

Hand in Hand Upcoming virtual programming at Mental Health Estrie The past several months placed obstacles and challenges in our paths unlike any other in recent memory.We have had to adjust, adapt, and accept new circumstances over and over again.This prolonged state of insecurity has taken a toll on people\u2019s mental health across the board.In an effort to gain a better understanding of the situation, the University of Sherbrooke conducted a study in the fall of 2020.The information published con?rmed what many had suspected, that levels of anxiety and depression amongst Quebecers have increased signi?cantly since the onset of the pandemic.The most heavily affected groups are young adults, health care workers, and anglophones.Symptoms of anxiety and depression were reported in 37 per cent of adults aged 18-24, and anglophones were twice as likely to experience symptoms as francophones.In recognition of these concerning trends, Mental Health Estrie (MHE) is developing new fall programming.This was made possible thanks to the ?nancial support of the Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d\u2019expresssion anglaise and the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN).Their support has enabled us to expand our team and outreach services.In April of 2021, MHE hired a new Outreach Coordinator, Emily McBurney, who has been hard at work planning a series of educational sessions beginning in September.Throughout the fall and winter, we will be teaming up with other organizations and experts to present virtual workshops, webinars, and information sessions on various topics related to mental health.All community members are welcome to access these events from the comfort and safety of their own homes.The presentations will be in English and are available free of charge.Featuring a diverse set of presenters, topics will include borderline personality disorder, being an ally, supporting a loved one with addiction, mental health medications, and accessing public services, among others.To keep informed of our upcoming programming we invite you to stay tuned for future articles and advertising in The Record, follow our Facebook page

Firehouse Productions In an effort to capture the stories of Townshippers in new and dynamic ways, The Record has enlisted the help of Kathryne Owen, who creates weekly videos interviewing locals and touring interesting places in the area.The videos are posted every Friday on our website and social media.The Lennoxville Fire?ghter\u2019s Association has been active since 1960.Initially they raised money to purchase life-saving equipment for the department (jaws of life; breathing apparatus etc.).But for many years now, they have concentrated their efforts on helping the community through toy drives, Friendship Day BBQs and more.Several years back, during a brainstorming session for bigger fundraising ideas, a few of the guys suggested putting on shows, and Firehouse Productions was launched.Run by a small group of LFA members, they have organized concerts with Country Music artists such as Brett Kissel, The Rivertown Saints and Terri Clark.So how did a group of guys looking to raise a bit of cash for their community turn into music producers?Find out during this week\u2019s Friday File when we sit down with one of Firehouse Productions\u2019 founders, Francois Gilbert.The

cute,\u201d Barrie said, explaining that up until age nine the program offered a mix of practice sessions and just-for-fun matches between the local groups.As of nine years old, the local players got the opportunity to play against clubs from other communities, and Barrie said that the Celtics U14 group tied for ?rst place in the standings, meaning that they will likely be going to the ?nals at the end of September.Another particularity of this year was a group of 22 registered for the club\u2019s senior division, which is for players over the age of 17.\u201cWe haven\u2019t been able to do that before,\u201d the organizer said, explaining that adult players usually have to go down the road to Windsor to play.This season also saw an evolution in what was allowed over the course of the summer as Covid restrictions loosened up.Whereas play got started under fairly strict rules about how many people could be present at practices and games, Barrie said that by the end of the season it was \u201cvery much like a normal year.\u201d Summer Soccer CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Dubé also said that a comprehensive list of the businesses where the passport will apply would be made available as of Tuesday afternoon on Quebec.ca, although as of this writing the list was not yet available.Speaking to the COVID-19 situation in general, Dubé referred to the month of September as \u201cthe month of all the dif?culties,\u201d pointing out that the combination of the return to school for students and the return to work for many employees who have been at home, alongside the increased pressure of the delta variant creates a lot of uncertainty about the fall.\u201cWe don\u2019t know exactly how things are going to go, given the variant,\u201d he said.The Province of Quebec reported 345 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, bringing the total number of people infected to 385,465.Taking into account the 370,486 people who have recovered, however, the number of active cases decreased slightly to 3,696.There were three new Covid-related deaths added to the provincial total, bringing that number to 11,283.The number of hospitalizations increased by three, to 102, but the number of people in intensive care decreased by two, to 29.The Eastern Townships saw the number of active cases decline again, following an initial decline on Monday.Although there were 76 new cases recorded across the region between Friday and Tuesday, the total number of active cases decreased to 187.The number of hospitalizations remained unchanged, with two in intensive care and six overall, but the region reported two new deaths, one at the Château le Bel âge in Windsor and the other at the Résidence du Haut-St François in East Angus.Vaccination coverage in the Eastern Townships has reached 82.9 per cent of people 12 and up for at least one dose, and 75 per cent for two doses.Across the province, 86.3 per cent of the eligible population have had at least one dose and 78.5 per cent are adequately vaccinated.Vaccine Passport Olymel to reduce activities at Vallée-Jonction plant Record Staff Citing an impass provoked by workers, Olymel management released a statement on Tuesday announcing the company\u2019s intention to signi?cantly reduce activities at its Vallée-Jonction hog slaughterhouse and cutting plant.Olymel has made the decision to abolish the evening shift.This decision will come into effect at the end of the notice of termination period if no agreement is reached and accepted by the union members by Sunday evening (Aug.29) at midnight.It will result in the loss of more than 500 positions, and four months\u2019 notice of termination will be sent to the employees affected by this decision in accordance with Quebec labour standards.The company had the following to say about the labour dispute: \u201cUnion leaders must recognize that their strategy has failed.As a responsible employer, Olymel has no choice but to deploy all the means at its disposal to mitigate the negative impact of this strike, which has now lasted four months,\u201d Paul Beauchamp, Olymel\u2019s Senior Vice-President said in a press release.According to the senior vice-presi- dent, Olymel is giving employees until midnight Sunday to reconsider the no vote from Aug.17.He added the company is still willing to make adjustments within the parameters of the Aug.14 agreement in principle, but will not be able to increase the monetary aspects of the agreement in any way, as it would compromise the plant\u2019s viability and competitiveness.Beauchamp went on to hold workers responsible, not only for the impending loss of 500 jobs, but also for the stress put on hogs awaiting slaughter and the food waste that will result.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278

bolster children\u2019s mental and emotional well-being through play By Anne Burke,Professor, Faculty of Education, Memorial University of Newfoundland Kristiina Kumpulainen Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University Parents, educators and children alike are watching the calendar as the new school year draws closer.The last school year was spent under COVID-19 lockdowns, restrictions and school closures, resulting in children being subject to a dizzying array of changes.Added to this were disruptions to daily family life, as many parents scrambled to be both teacher and entertainer to children.We are part of a growing global team of cross-discipline researchers considering how play and children\u2019s lives have been affected during the pandemic.In our pilot research with ?ve neighbourhood families in Eastern Canada, we found that while parents expressed concern about children\u2019s missed school time, the children aged six to 12 were seeking creative ways to reclaim their former pandemic play lives through virtual sleepovers and Zoom neighbourhood ukulele lessons.As schools return to in-person learning, the joint efforts of school communities and families to make time for play at school and at home will be essential to give children space to work out anxieties carried over from the pandemic, in addition to providing many other social and cognitive bene?ts.Play and resilience Resilience is an important element in childhood development, a reserve of emotional strength a child can draw on for the rest of their lives.The value of play in developing children\u2019s resilience is well-known.Play is the means by which children experiment and interact with the world.It\u2019s the way they process their classroom and home learning, a vital part of their mental and social development.The pandemic has highlighted children\u2019s play as a wellspring for creativity, exploration and socialization.But it has also underlined how children experienced the pandemic\u2019s stress and trauma \u2014 and how play can help them cope.Play affected by pandemic Children and families have watched as the pandemic unravelled the world of school, children\u2019s activities and playgrounds.Important milestones, such as concerts and graduations were held virtually in socially distanced classrooms.Teachers and parents alike were dismayed at the loss of children\u2019s \u201cred-carpet\u201d moments.While some education of?cials might argue that post-pandemic academic recovery should be ?rst priority following gaps in face-to-face education, our concern is that academic recovery should not \u2014 and need not \u2014 come at the expense of bolstering children\u2019s mental and emotional well-being through play.Play is also critical in laying the groundwork for academic learning both in terms of children\u2019s socio- emotional regulation as well as for the development of motor skills and conceptual thinking.Returning to school We heard from parents who participated in our research that online schooling gave them a new window into the challenges of teaching.One parent said they worried that their child wouldn\u2019t stay focused, but the teacher tried very hard, having the kids do scavenger hunts for objects from the book they were reading, or timed exercises to give their bodies a break.Such attention to children\u2019s rhythms and needs will need to continue as they return to in-person learning.Unfortunately, continuing COVID-19 protocols and practices in children\u2019s environments will restrict play.This will necessitate using creative strategies to address how children can play freely and socially during school and have venues to communicate and express their feelings.It will be important to continue to talk with children about the important roles they play in helping to keep themselves and others safe, such as through handwashing.Open communication and play, especially when these happen in dialogue with each other, will be vital as children return to school and play with friends.Communicate, give kids clear facts Tracy Rose, director of the Memorial University Childcare Centre, said: \u201cI encouraged parents to keep communication open to children\u2019s questions \u2014 but also to be aware of transferring adult-related stress onto children.\u201d Many teachers understood at the height of the pandemic that balancing their own fears against children\u2019s needs would be critical.One teacher relayed to us that she read the book Why Did the Whole World Stop?Talking with Kids about COVID-19 just before children left for an extended lockdown: \u201cIt was fact-based and honest, and told them a truth they could understand.\u201d Children are adept at taking understandable facts, and transferring them into play spaces to wrestle with their meanings.This gives children some of the crucial tools they need to interpret stressful times and build resilience.We have already seen how children are playing out their COVID-19 experiences in classrooms \u2014 for example, kindergarteners pretending to give vaccines.Even if parents and teachers don\u2019t always include children in discussions about the pandemic, children are still listening and learning through play.Collaborating about importance of play Understanding and promoting children\u2019s play during COVID-19 requires global collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers, educators and policy-makers.We believe our global research efforts can help advance our society\u2019s understanding about the role of play in supporting resilience, renewal and recovery in diverse contexts and cultures.This knowledge can better mitigate many negative societal effects experienced by children and families during moments of crises like the pandemic.It can also further amplify the often-unheard voices of children.Recovering lost ground Despite the trials of the past year, children will thrive if play offers them opportunities to foster resiliency and emotional health.Play develops children\u2019s resiliency \u2014 their best defence mechanism during times of stress, confusion and crisis.As we move beyond COVID-19, opportunities to play will be paramount to recovering lost ground in a changed world.Anne Burke receives funding from Social Sciences

School Quebec changes school mask mandate in certain regions, brings back extracurricular activities By Michael Boriero Local Journalism Initiative Quebec Provincial Association Of Teachers (QPAT) President Heidi Yetman\u2019s wishes were answered in part on Tuesday afternoon, after Education Minister Jean-François Roberge announced masks will be mandatory in elementary and high school classrooms.The Record spoke to Yetman on Monday, discussing, among other things, the lack of communication with the ministry of education since Roberge last made an announcement on Aug.11.Her biggest concern was about masks and the fourth wave.\u201cThe Delta variant is highly contagious.Our 12 and unders are not vaccinated.We also know that vaccinated people can still transmit the virus, so we need at least to reinforce the mask,\u201d Yetman said in a phone interview Monday afternoon.Roberge made it clear that following lengthy discussions with Quebec\u2019s public health authority, masks will become mandatory in classrooms throughout nine regions identi?ed as areas with an increased amount of COVID-19 cases, including the Eastern Townships.\u201cOur ultimate goal is to keep students in school in the safest possible environment.The health measures we are putting in place have been designed with this goal in mind and will be tailored to regional realities,\u201d he said, adding that they are precautionary measures, not permanent.Students will also be required to wear a surgical mask at daycare, in common areas, when they are moving around, and while on school transportation.However, preschool students will not be affected by these changes to the health and safety guidelines.Centrale des syndicats du Québec (CSQ) President Éric Gingras released a statement following Tuesday\u2019s press conference, noting the importance of returning to school without any hiccups.The mask mandate is a necessary evil, he said, if students want a normal year.But Yetman raised several other concerns with the province\u2019s return to school plan.She is skeptical about the physical distancing measures because she wants to avoid overcrowding classrooms.She is also frustrated by the delay in installing CO2 sensors.\u201cI\u2019m very, very disappointed to hear that carbon dioxide devices will not be installed as planned in September and will most likely get installed throughout the fall and into December.We have had a year and half to get this organized and we\u2019re still not organized,\u201d said Yetman.She also believes that the complete elimination of bubbles is a bit excessive.It was dif?cult to maintain bubbles in high school because students have option classes, which made for more complex schedules, she admitted, but it doesn\u2019t have to disappear in elementary school.\u201cIt\u2019s doable in elementary school because those students tend to stay together.They go to gym together, they go to music together, so because they are a unit, it\u2019s a lot easier to try to keep that unit separate from other units,\u201d Yetman said.She added that there are a lot of questions regarding Covid outbreaks in the classroom.But Roberge clari?ed the procedure on Tuesday.If there is an outbreak in a school, the region\u2019s public health authority will conduct an investigation to locate the source.In regions where masks are mandatory in classrooms, a student who has been in contact with a COVID-19 case in a school setting will not be required to temporarily withdraw from school and extracurricular activities.It is different for regions where masks are not mandatory.In these areas, if an elementary school student is in contact with a Covid case, they can continue participating in school activities while wearing a mask for 10 days.However, they won\u2019t be allowed to participate in extracurricular activities during this period.Fully vaccinated high school students in regions where masks are not mandatory who come in contact with an active case will not need to isolate or wear a mask.They can also participate in activities.Students who are not fully vaccinated will need to wear a mask for 10 days.Yetman noted that one of the major issues for teachers last year was the constant rule adjustments.It added a lot of uncertainty and anxiety among staff members.It put a serious strain on the system, which was already hanging by a thread prior to the pandemic.\u201cI\u2019m telling you it was the most dif?cult year that teachers had last year.A lot of them told me it was like being in their ?rst year of teaching to have to learn to do everything online,\u201d said Yetman, adding that she is curious to see how many teachers retired or change jobs.Appalachian Teachers\u2019 Association President Megan Seline told The Record that she has not been in contact with any teachers throughout the summer.She is hoping everyone took advantage of the break.They are now in a wait-and-see period as students return to class.\u201cIt\u2019s pending right now and we\u2019ll see what happens in the next few weeks.I\u2019m a bit concerned about the numbers [.] cases are rising in the Eastern Townships, and you know who is getting it, it\u2019s the unvaccinated group,\u201d said Seline.Quebec also a n n o u n c e d the return of e x t ra c u r r i c u l a r activities, physical activities, and sports at the elementary school level.Sports and other physical activities will also return at the high school level, but a vaccination passport will be required for speci?c sports.According to Education Minister Isabelle Charest, the passport will be for students participating in contact sports, inter- school games or competitions, as well as any indoor physical activities.The list of activities covered by the passport will be available on the provincial website.\u201cThe resumption of extracurricular activities for our youth is excellent news.However, we must be cautious.The vaccine passport is the best way to ensure the most normal and sustainable resumption of physical activities and sports,\u201d said Charest.FACEBOOK PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604

long been indicators that the summer vacation season is coming to a close.Students and their parents may visit area stores or browse online looking for items to make the coming school year a success.Those lists have looked similar for decades, but shopping for school supplies in the pandemic era may prove to be a unique experience.Though hundreds of millions of adults and adolescents have now been vaccinated against COVID-19, there ?gures to be some lingering effects of the pandemic during the upcoming school year.That could affect which school supplies families buy in the weeks to come.Here\u2019s a look at some of the latest trends.-A shift from physical stores: According to data from IBM\u2019s U.S.Retail Index, the pandemic has accelerated a shift away from physical stores to digital shopping by about ?ve years.It\u2019s likely that school shoppers will turn to the internet for their supplies, which means local brick and mortar shops should increase their web presence and digital shopping capabilities to reach online shoppers.This includes omnichannel ful?llment, such as buy online and pickup in store (BOPIS) options.-Reassessment of what\u2019s essential: The pandemic may have changed which items consumers consider essential.For example, clothing became less signi?cant as a greater number of students were enrolled in virtual learning.Back-to-school shoppers may purchase less clothing and focus more on tech items, among others.-Traditional supplies become less necessary: In 2020, Deloitte forecasted that a shift in preferences and intentions would result in parents buying fewer traditional supplies, such as notebooks and of?ce supplies, as they chose to invest in digital resources to supplement children\u2019s education.That shift likely will continue into this school year.-Support for local retailers: Community spirit grew in the early days of the pandemic and continues now.Many people prefer to shop in locally owned stores.Eighty percent of customers surveyed feel more or as connected to their communities, according to the business industry consultant company Accenture.-Customers are trying new brands and products: Shoppers are trying new products out of curiosity as well as necessity.Back-to-school shopping may include novel brands and other items that may not have been readily purchased in years past.Back-to-school shopping may continue to look a bit different than in previous years, spawning trends that may ultimately become the new normal.(Metro Creative) COURTESY Aurelia all dressed up for her ?rst day of

This week, The Record is sharingthe last segments of Borsman\u2019s winning story, Re?ections during a time of COVID-19.By Terry Borsman 7.Essential Workers and the Entitled The old timers who lived in Mas- sawippi when my family moved here years ago all agreed how strong this community was in earlier days, and that in knowing one another, in friendship and in cooperation, life\u2019s problems were eased and one\u2019s chances of getting by in often harsh conditions improved.Strong families and a stronger church made a big difference, too.The how and why of our community\u2019s decline have been well-document- ed by others\u2014suf?ce it to say, many of us have become isolated and unable to help ourselves, let alone help our friends and neighbours.And we may also be fearful that if we do need support, who will be there for us and where will help come from?Relatives of mine are not wealthy, so much as well-off, and recently a Facebook post from one of them, which garnered a shameful number of likes, went something like this: \u201cStarting with nothing, I\u2019ve worked very hard, sacri?ced, put myself through university, and saved my money, so I deserve everything I\u2019ve got.I\u2019m entitled to it.\u201d Hard work should be rewarded for everyone.But how is it to be achieved in a system where, increasingly, wealth is concentrated at the top, leaving the working poor below the middle and the poor at the bottom, where many struggle on minimum wage, perhaps holding down two or three part-time jobs and possibly depending on charities and food banks?It is precisely in this situation that so many essential workers ?nd themselves during the pandemic.Why, they might ask, doesn\u2019t their hard work allow them good housing, to be worry-free about paying the rent or mortgage or dental bills?Why can\u2019t their children take ballet or music lessons, or all go on a nice holiday together?How many times have we heard during COVID-19 that \u201cWe\u2019re all in this together?\u201d Clearly, we\u2019re not.Many of us were told as children that life isn\u2019t fair.Surely, it is not.But as adults, how much longer can we afford to leave it at that?Human beings are social animals, inextricably tied together and dependent on one another, so shouldn\u2019t we reward the work of everyone, fairly?COVID-19 has shattered the lives of so many, while exposing our shortcomings, inequalities, and inability to act.It has also given us opportunities for growth, sharing, and kinship.There is one other thing we can all do, and it is probably more radical today than when it was ?rst spoken: Love thy neighbour! Dedication The word \u201chero\u201d has become overused.But in the case of our healthcare workers and the myriad staff and cleaners who assist our E.R.doc- tors\u2014many of whom have risked or lost their lives to help us through this pandemic\u2014 \u201chero\u201d is an apt description.The thank-you that we owe so many is global.But right here at home, thank-you to Ashely at Marche Tradition in Ayer\u2019s Cliff, to Janet at the Massawippi Valley Health Clinic, to our own doctor Martin, to Trudy, Nancy, and Barbara (who lives up the road from us), to all of those who have volunteered in our community, to Miss Aly (my grandson\u2019s teacher at ACES), to my son Sam, and to all our educators.The list is endless, as is our gratitude for them all.Finally, to all my fellow dreamers out there who dream not just of the past, but of a better tomorrow: We can begin again and make a better future.Re?ections during a time of Covid-19 Subscribe today - print or online 819-569-9528 \u2022 wwww.sherbrookerecord.com 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 Wednesday, August 25, 2021 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Death Death Death Death BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 40¢ per word.Minimum charge $10.00 ($11.50 taxes included) Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off With photo: additional $18.50.DEADLINE: 11 a.m., day before publication.BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY & GET-WELL WISHES, ENGAGEMENT NOTICES: Text only: $16.00 (includes taxes) With photo: $26.00 ($29.90 taxes included) DEADLINE: 3 days before publication.WEDDING WRITE-UPS: $26.00 ($29.90 taxes included) WITH PHOTO: $36.00 ($41.40 taxes included) Please Note: All of the aforementioned (except death notices) must be submitted typewritten or neatly printed, and must include the signature and daytime telephone number of the contact person.Can be e-mailed to: classad@sherbrookerecord.com - They will not be taken by phone.DEADLINES FOR DEATH NOTICES: For Monday\u2019s paper, email production@sherbrookerecord.com or call 819-569-4856 between 1 p.m.and 5 p.m.Sunday.For Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday\u2019s edition, email production@sherbrookerecord.com, call 819-569-4856 or fax 819-569-1187 (please call to con?rm transmission) between 9 a.m.and 5 p.m.the day prior to the day of publication.The Record cannot guarantee publication if another Record number is called.Rates: Please call for costs.RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES Richard homas Hornby March 11, 1933 \u2013 August 16, 2021 It is with heavy hearts we announce that Richard (Dick) Hornby passed away suddenly on August 16, 2021 in hospital.Forever loving husband to the late Georgina and brother to the late Daniel (Margaret, deceased) and George (Marjolaine, deceased).Cherished father of Sharon (Erwin (Jr)), Karen (David), Laura (Gilles), Kathryn (Geof), Wendy (Andrew).Treasured grandfather of Daniel (Nina), William, Jacob, Samuel, Aaron, Ann, Sarah, Ryan, Kara and Devon.Precious great- grandfather of Ryker and Everly, uncle and great uncle of several nieces and nephews.Loyal friend and mentor to many.Dick was born in Chesterville and grew up in Georgeville.He and Georgina lived in Sherbrooke, Cookshire and Ste Agathe des Monts before settling back in Georgeville.Dick had a passion for both hunting and ishing and started his work life as a ishing guide on lake Memphremagog, working for Henry McGowan.\u201cFishing on a well-stocked lake with family or friends\u201d was his favourite way to spend the day!

in his hand if he doesn\u2019t have an entry and his partner is now void in the suit.Cover the West and South cards.Against three no-trump, West leads the heart jack.Declarer tries dummy\u2019s king, but East wins with the ace.At this point, South\u2019s spirits noticeably sag; he is expecting the whole suit to be run.But after East cashes the heart queen, despite hunting assiduously, he cannot ?nd another heart to lead.What should East do now?North might have reversed with two spades on the second round of the auction, but there wasn\u2019t much point, since South had denied four spades.It was correct just to shoot out three no- trump.East knows that his partner must be holding at least four heart winners because South didn\u2019t bid one heart over one diamond, which he would have done with a four-card suit.But how can West get on play to cash those winners?He seems unlikely to have an entry card.There is one chance: West must hold the club queen.Her majesty will be an entry if, at trick three, East switches to the club king.Probably declarer will win with dummy\u2019s ace, cross to hand with a spade and take the diamond ?nesse.However, East will win with the king, lead a club to his partner\u2019s queen and sit back to watch while West cashes his four heart winners to defeat the contract by two tricks.This play, sacri?cing an honor to establish an entry for partner, is called the Deschapelles Coup, after Guillaume Deschapelles, a famous whist player.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY
