provide alternative parking for the Cegep de Sherbrooke should be completed within the next ten days, weather permitting.The parking lot renovation work started last May and is mainly focused at the intersection of Cegep and Terrill Street.From here until the end of the work, the city will open an alternative parking lot for Victoria Park and will ensure the presence of flagmen to facilitate the traffic and consequent parking in the area as of Monday August 22, the first day of the new school semester at the Cegep.The city of Sherbrooke has announced that they are aware of the disadvantages brought on by the situation (especially with the beginning of the new school year) and are asking for the cooperation of all citizens who will be travelling in that area over the next week or so.Carpooling, walking or public transport should all be considered in order to diminish the amount of traffic on Terrill Street and College Street from here until the end of the work.A sure sign of

August: report By Evan LePage By the end of August, the City of Sherbrooke will have actually saved almost $300,000 because of the on-going blue-collar strike accord- ing to an expense report released on Friday.The numbers indicate that by Aug.27, total expenditures on the strike will have reached $513,604, in comparison to savings of $812,642 in that same pe- riod.This means that the City’s net savings during the strike period will have reached $299,038, the majority coming from salaries not being paid to striking workers who fell outside of the essen- ConTd on page 3 fm., H indsorgoes Page

Anna May Kinney Nature’s Way If you planted a garden this year, then this is the time that those delicious, organic vegetables will be coming in by the basketful.Last year I tried an experiment, many of you have written to ask how it went, and I know that there are more people out there who want to know if freezing my vegetables without the customary blanching and cooling paid off?Things like onion, melons, garlic, green and red peppers were never blanched, just chopped, placed into a bag and frozen.Last fall, I tried this technique on green beans, members of the cabbage family, Swiss chard, and just about every leafy vegetable I had and found it amazingly efficient and by using the veggies in either soup, stew, or fried rice they needed no separate cooking at all, but when using as a side dish it was best to steam them a couple of minutes before serving them.Aso found the taste much richer, vitamins and minerals not washed out by the blanching process, and all around a healthier food.The amount of time and energy saved, not to mention electricity was well worth the experiment, which I’m already doing this year.Another question I’ve been asked over the years is how do I label plastic bags?I keep a roll of masking tape in my kitchen cabinet, about $1 at a dollar or hardware store, lay out the plastic bags before filling, stick an inch of tape on the center bottom of each bag, then with a permanent marker put date bagged.After filling bags with veggies, lie each bag on it’s side, flatten and tie off while flat.Instead of filling and placing a bag in the freezer that is ‘round’ these flattened bags will take half the room and be easier to stack.Wild and garden fruit This is a great time for those of us who harvest wild or garden fruit, in fact since the end of June we have been taking two hours a day just for harvesting fruit, the wild blueberries were outstanding this year, and now the black berries are following the same pattern.If you do not have your own fruit there are many organic farms here in the Eastern Townships where you can pick your own for a much less when compared to buying at a local grocer.This fruit can easily be turned into jelly, jam, even pancake syrup.Making organic less costly for a family trying to go that route.After you have made all the sweets your family needs for the year, frozen enough for desserts, it’s time to look into acquiring enough organic fruit to make a few gallons of organic wine.With the price of the cheapest wine from the grocery store at about $10 a bottle, and organic wine costing twice that amount, making ones own wine is a great way to save money while also making the ‘alcoholic beverage’ switch to organic.Almost any fruit, even some vegetables like beets can be made into wine, but some of the favorite fruit wines besides grape are blackberry, currant and blueberry.This week let us talk about the items we need to be ready for wine making.You’ll need a container to put the mashed fruit, boiled water, sugar and yeast into to ferment.IF using plastic, not glass or wooden, which most people making small amounts of wine would be using, make sure the plastic is a safe food grade plastic container.I have five-gallon pails that were used in the wine industry.When making wine for the first time keeping it small is best, you can experiment making two gallons at a time, labeling the changes from one batch to the other, seeing which recipe and process works best for you.Instead of making a large amount you have much less to lose if something does not work out right.I’d acquire two or three of these food grade pails, you need a siphon hose, heavy food grade plastic again, a funnel, cheese cloth or special filtering bags sold at wine making shops and clean sterilized gallon containers to ferment your wine in.I prefer doing it in one gallon glass containers as I do not make much wine, but if you are going to be making five gallons at a time you’d want a special large glass bottle made for this purpose and sold at a wine making shop, which can be found in Sherbrooke.I do not like fermenting in plastic, but there are plastic containers available and many people do use them, some even invest in oak barrels for larger amounts, but you really have to be into this, like my grandfather was.He had three huge barrels in the basement that he filled every year, you’d only want to invest in a barrel after you’ve experimented and found out you like your own wine enough to make it every year.After you have chosen your containers for both your primary fermentation, that’s where your fruit, yeast, water, sugar sit together for up to five days or the secondary fermentation container where the stained liquid ferments for six months to three years.I prefer a long, slow fermentation that uses up all the yeast over time.When cleaning these container, bottles, gallons etc.wash well in very hot, lightly soapy water and rinse a few extra times, nothing will ruin a batch of wine faster than a little soap film left behind, something you may not even notice.Using an environmentally safe soap, one that is unscented is the only way to go when cleaning wine making equipment.I also recommend you have a good supply of good quality, large stainless steel bowls for mashing, sorting and storing your fruit.A couple of hair nets, as one stray human or animal hair can ruin an entire batch of wine, good reason to keep fido and kitty out of the wine making area.Last but not least, read everything you can online about wine making, a quick visit to your local library or wine making shop will help get you prepared for what could become a life long hobby, one that is fun doing and even more fun enjoying the product of your labor.Next time, part two.rf^ ion* RECORD The Record classad@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, August 22, 201 1 Page 15 Your Birthday Monday, Aug.22,2011 More than the usual amount of opportunities will be available to you in the year ahead, making it hard at times to choose just which ones you want to partake in.Each will be significant and shouldn’t be taken for granted.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — Be extremely selective regarding your companions.If you aren’t, there could be a troublemaker in the group who will be responsible for making everybody feel uncomfortable.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — If you are unduly critical of others, it is likely because you’re taking what they say out of context and misinterpreting innocent comments as intentional “zappers." Think positively.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — By attempting to mix business with pleasure, you could unintentionally cause someone in the group to feel uneasy.Make sure everyone is okay with the situation at hand.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - It’s fine that your competitive instincts are easily aroused, as long as you don’t get emotional over winning or losing and behave badly.Be a good sport about the outcome.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -When among friends, let sleeping dogs lie.Even if you bring up an old incident that you think funny, it could evoke a bitter reaction from the person involved.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - It isn’t always too smart to impose unsolicited advice on another.If the situation fails to work out well, he or she may blame you even if your counsel wasn’t the problem.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) - Avoid any situation in which you have to depend heavily on another or another has to rely on you.If you or the other person can’t do what is promised, a bitter reaction might result.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Although you’re someone who usually tries to be of help to others, you could easily feel put upon if another thinks you are always there for them, regardless of the situation.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Even if you could make someone over in your own image, you wouldn’t like the results.It’s easiest tô just accept everybody for who and what they are.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If everybody in the house seems to be walking around with an angry look on his or her face, make sure it wasn’t put there by you.If you’re on edge, calm down.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Wanting everybody to respond to your edicts is untenable if you can't set the example by following orders yourself.Don’t ask of others what you won’t do.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — When out with others, splitting the bill with them could be problematic unless you establish up front that everybody is willing to fork out.Don’t assume something that might be rejected.Monday, Aug.22,2011 Their bidding helps declarer — again By Phillip Adler Bridge these days is a bidder’s game.If it is your turn to call and you have 13 cards with length somewhere, you are expected to act.To pass risks being run out of town — or having difficulty finding partners.However, what these bid-at-all-costs players seem to ignore are the times when their bids help the opponents.This deal is an example.How should the play go in four spades after West leads the heart nine?East’s two-heart overcall was Cappel-letti, showing a heart-minor two-suiter; South bid a competitive two spades; West raised to three hearts; North nudged to three spades (suggesting a maximum with four-card support); and South plowed on to game.West leads a top-of-nothing hea*rt nine.East wins the first trick with his heart queen (bottom of touching cards when playing third hand high), cashes the heart ace (West drops a suit-preference eight), and shifts to a diamond.West takes his ace and leads back a diamond.Declarer has to play the trump suit North 08-22-u ?A 10 8 7 V J 10 ?K Q J ?K Q J 5 East ?J V A K Q 7 4 ?8 6 5 2 ?6 4 3 South ?K 9 6 5 3 V 6 5 ?974 ?A 10 9 Dealer; South Vulnerable: East-West South West North East Pass Pass 1 NT 2* 2* 3 V 3* Pass 4* Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: V 9 without loss.That will be no problem if each opponent has honor-doubleton, but if the suit is 3-1, an opponent has to hold a singleton honor.Who will that be?Given East’s bid, clearly he is the candidate.So South leads a spade to his king, then plays a spade to dummy’s 10.When that holds, he cashes the spade ace and claims.East should have passed throughout.Then four spades would have been played by North after a transfer sequence.With less information.North might not have found the winning play.West ?Q 4 2 ¥ 9 8 3 2 ?A 10 3 *872 CROSSWORD Across 1 Sound from a tree 6 Range between soprano and tenor 10 Cpls.’ underlings 14 Flamboyant evangelist_____Semple McPherson 15 Boston Bruins or Chicago Bears, e.g.16 Inter__;
