Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke Three*times*ten The Collection The exhibition Three*times*ten will be shown in three separate segments until the end of March 2013.Conceived by the museum’s curator, Sarah Boucher, to mark the 30th anniversary of the Musée, the exhibition underlines the range of the collection, the place of certain works in the history of the Musée and of the visual arts in our region, the choices made over the three decades, and a glimpse of what the future holds for the collection.Its collection is the heart of the museum, a heart that beats with the rhythm of artistic trends, the passions of collectors, and the inspiration of the artists.The first of the three exhibitions covers the years 1982 to 1992; the next two will deal respectively with 1993-2002 and 2003-2012.The museum’s collection is comprised exclusively of generous donations from artists and collectors.The opening ceremonies are Saturday Oct.20 at 5 p.m.The museum is opened from Tuesday to

Singer-songwriter Rob Lutes It only takes a quick visit to Rob Lutes’ website to see just how busy this Montreal-based roots musician is.In the past several months he has played in many locations across Canada, including concerts in PEI, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and appearances at the legendary Mariposa Folk Festival, and the Montreal Folk Festival where he feels right at home, having headlined at the very first edition of that festival.Here in Quebec he has played continuously for many years, including gigs at the Montreal Jazz Festival, and the Sherblues Festival in Sherbrooke.In the spring he spent four weeks touring Europe, where he has an enthusiastic following.And somehow, he found the time to record a CD of new songs—his sixth, entitled The Bravest Birds.While the album’s official launch is set for January of 2013, he will be introducing many of his new songs when he comes to Ulverton.Ulverton Folk have wanted to have Rob Lutes come out for a concert for years.His reputation has spread far and wide, catching the eyes and ears of major music critics both here and abroad, and garnering him many awards, including the prestigious Ker-rville New Folk award several years ago.His lyrics are thoughtful and filled with detailed and subtle observations of a wide range of human experience.His performances are soulful and intense.Above all he is a performer and songwriter of great integrity, knowing how to reach out and make a genuine connection with his audiences, be they in a living room in Manitoba, a town hall in Ulverton, or a concert hall in Amsterdam.Five Years of Folk Music in Ulverton Five years ago, there was a first folk concert in Ulverton.Upon the invitation of musician and radio host Julie Miller, Canadian singer-songwriter Jon Brooks brought his original songs on the themes of identity and history to the Ulverton Town Hall.The evening was a success and lead to more concerts.Since then, over twenty artists have appeared in concerts presented by Ulverton Folk, from all over the country and beyond its borders, showcasing the wide diversity of styles within the folk music genre.Musicians have sung in English, or in French; sometimes in both.They have played banjos, dulcimers, guitars, mandolins, harmonicas, fiddles and flutes.Some of them have stomped their feet; many of them had the audience up and dancing.There have been award winners—Junos, Canadian Folk Music Award, and many oth- ers; legends like Penny Lang, up-and-comers like the Yukon’s Kim Beggs; amazing local talent such as Olivier Brousseau, and crowd pleasers like Gen-ticorum, Bon Débarras and the remarkable Jayme Stone.Although over the past several years there are now more and more places to hear great live music and discover wonderful Canadian musicians, the Ulverton Folk series offers something unique in the region.Concerts are relaxed and welcoming.A rapport builds up between performers and audience members.The acoustics of the old heritage town hall are exceptional.Unique concerts are played.Concerts are affordable.Friendships are made.Artists want to come back, and so do concert goers.For the past couple of years Ulverton Folk has branched out, presenting a potluck and traditional dance during the Christmas holidays, open mic sessions, and also contributed to different music events in the Val Saint François area, from concerts to festivals to songwriting workshops.Rob Lutes’ concert on Nov.10 at 8 p.m.will be Ulverton Folk’s 5th anniversary concert.The concert is presented at Ulverton Town Hall, 155, route 143.Adults: $12./ children 12 and under: free.Tickets available at la Papeterie 2000, Richmond or by calling 819-826-5427.Ben by Daniel Shelton Mr LOWER &4CK HURTS WHEN I GET UR y SOMEHOW, sharing

surrounding the lake as they have passed resolutions supporting the reestablishment of the camp.” Plans to By Gib Mclnnis Special to The Record Plans are underway to reopen the Quebec Lodge, a camp for kids on the shore of Lake Massawippi, and according to the group heading up this project, the Quebec Lodge Foundation committee, the project is on target for raising $1.5 million before Dec.31, 2012.The camp will be located in a wooded area on the east side of Massawippi Lake, about half way down the lake and at the north east corner of the property below Chemin du lac.According to Ruth Sheeran, President of the Quebec Lodge Foundation, which is a non-profit charitable institution, they have recently established an agreement with the Anglican Diocese of Quebec, the owners of the property, in which the Diocese of Quebec will hand over the property needed to house the new camp, if the Foundation can raise the $1.5 million, either through pledges or donations before year’s end.As of today, 40 per cent of the goal has been reached, either through donations or pledges.“Our deadline is Dec.31, 2012 because of our arrangement with the Anglican Diocese of Quebec, who currently owns the property, and who ran the reopen Quebec Lodge progressing camp for over 60 years.The Diocese had to close the property in 2005, and they put the property on the market.They have already sold a portion of the land, but the remaining piece of land, which includes the beach area, will be donated to the Foundation, if we can raise the money by the end of the year.So the land will be a generous donation and all the dollars we raise will be used to develop the camp,” says Sheeran.Sheeran explained that at present they have a camp development project underway headed by two local architects, one working on the design of the new buildings and the other designing the landscape and site plans.Sheeran says, “In preparation for launching the camp we are working with various partnerships with different institutions.For example, last week we had a site visit with the environmental studies and geography department from Bishop’s University.because they are interested in using the site for their students, and also they are going to be working with us developing the program for the camp, which will be based on environmental awareness.” The environmental awareness project will be managed by the Camp Director, Brian Wharry and Heather Bilkes.“Our goal is to be as environ- mentally friendly as we can and be low impact.We are looking at putting up yurts (an environmental type of housing structure) to live in.What we have realized is that there are a lot of children who don’t like the big camp experience, and who are looking for small groups, so we are going to set it up in three villages of 30 campers each, so in full operation we will have 90 campers on site.” Wharry mentioned that the activities will be like most other camps since it will offer all kinds of summer activities, like sailing, kayaking, and canoeing.About the age groups Wharry, says, “If you look at what we’ve done in the past, we’re working with children from five to 17 years of age.Not all at the same time because each week (of the camp program) we will have a different age group.So, five to 10 one week, or 10 to 15 year olds another week.” Stephen Stafford who serves on the executive board for the Foundation is very happy with how the project has evolved, but also with the amount of support they have been getting from the communities surrounding the property.“We have support from all five of the municipalities surrounding the lake as they have passed resolutions supporting the reestablishment of the camp.We have also quite of bit of community sup- port as well.A donation of time from Johanne Béland, the landscape architect from Sutton, who prepared the preliminary site plan, and Oscar Hacché, who is well known in the area for his work.We also have the support of the principal of Bishop’s University, Michael Gold-bloom.” One important reason why Stafford has been working on this project is because he wants to see children from all walks of life have access to this camp.“We have a goal of not turning any children away because of financial reasons, so it will be a not-for profit camp.It will also have reasonable fees to begin with, but on top of that, of the $1.5 million,, we are setting aside $250,000 to be used for bursaries to subsidize camper fees for low-income families.” This spirit of accessibility is also noticeable in the mandate of the Foundation, and that is to reach out to all faiths as well.“The original camp was run by the Anglican Diocese of Quebec, but our camp will be non-denominational and be open to children of all backgrounds.We are an independent non-profit organization separate from the Anglican Church, so there is no association with them,” says Sheerean.be reduced near Sherbrooke schools Speed to All but five of 34 primary schools in Sherbrooke will now have a reduced speed limit on the street facing them.The five exceptions are located on major arteries, where other options will be considered to increase the safety of pedestrians.Speed reduction near schools will be set up in late winter or early next spring, according to Denis Gélinas, Director of Sherbrooke’s Infrastructure and Environment Service.Speed will be reduced to 30 km /h, Monday to Friday from 7a.m.to 5 p.m., even during the summer.School crosswalks will also be fitted with overhead signs at a cost of about $150,000.The limit will remain at 50 km/h on roads bordering five schools - Pie X-de-I'Assomption on Terrill Street, des Qua-tre-Vents on Belvédère South, Plein Soleil on Montreal, Desranleau on Galt East,, and Notre-Dame-de-Liesse on Bourque Blvd.Flashing lights, activated by student traffic, may also be installed.Notre-Dame-de-Liesse in the Deauville is a special case.This school is located on a section of Bourque Boule- vard under the authority of the Ministry of Transport.Parents of students at the school have demanded a reduction of speed in this area for at least seven years.In July, the MTQfinally responded to a request by the Commission scolaire de la Région-de-Sherbrooke (CSRS) and reduced the speed from 70 to 50 km/h during school hours directly in front of the Notre-Dame-de-Liesse school.The signs were small and critics complained that the reduced limit applied only to a very short distance on the four-lane boulevard.Before school started, the signs were enlarged and the distance affected was tripled.Signs were also added in the median.Since the return to class, Sherbrooke police (SPS) have spent 11 hours monitoring the vicinity of the school and have issued 28 statements of infraction for speeding.In addition, the SPS undertook 177 surveillance operations near schools over the last school year.In one week, 108 offense reports were issued, including 40 for speeding.Cervical Cancer Prevention week offers free Pap tests Sherbrooke Minor scheduling changes have been announced for the upcoming free Pap test campaign being offered by doctors from the region

(FHQJ were among those who were toured around the newJehane Benoit exhibit at the Musée des communications et d’histoire de Sutton by museum president Richard Leclerc (second from right).More than a dozen representatives of English-speaking museums and historical societies around the Eastern Townships - all of them members of the Townships chapter of the Fédération Histoire Québec - gathered last week in Sutton to discuss issues of mutual concern, and to report on their recent and upcoming activities.The meeting took place at the Musée des communications et d’histoire de Sutton in downtown Sutton.Hosting the meeting was Heritage Sutton President Jeanne Morazin, assisted by Ann Montgomery, president of the Stanstead Historical Society and the Colby-Curtis Museum (and secretary of the FHQ’s Townships chapter).Also present were representatives from the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN); the Brome County Historical Society; the Montreal office of the Fédération Histoire Québec (FHQ); the Missisquoi Museum; the Richmond County Historical Society; Heritage Huntingville; the Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society (LAHMS); the Eastern Townships Resource Centre (ETRC); and the Georgeville Historical Society.Over the course of the meeting, participants heard (among other things) about the Missisquoi Museum’s recent record-breaking apple pie festival (more than 1,000 people attended); Heritage Sutton’s efforts to bring attention to the dilapidated condition of cemeteries in and around Sutton; a recent mould attack at the ETRC; the time capsule buried by the Richmond Historical Society; an antique and craft fair hosted by the Brome County Museum; restoration work (by the Georgeville Historical Society) at the Magoon Point Cemetery; the reconstruction of the solarium of the Colby-Curtis Museum in Stanstead; and recent exhibits by LAHMS at Uplands Cultural and Heritage Centre in Lennoxville.Also discussed were changes to the FHQ’s membership policy, and the annual convention held by that organization earlier this year, to much acclaim, in Sherbrooke.Several new projects, now ongoing at QAHN, were discussed, as well.These included “StoryNet,” a province-wide ef- fort to record and publish stories about Quebec’s English-speaking communities, and “Significant Objects for Telling Identity (SOFTI),” which is being overseen by Heather Darch and Rachel Garber, and which is exploring the heritage of English-speaking Quebec through the filter of 100 “culturally significant” objects selected from public collections across the province.Also discussed was the fact that QAHN’s 2013 convention will take place in Stanstead.Following the business meeting, participants were given a guided tour of the Heritage Sutton Museum, including the new exhibit on the life and work of one of Sutton’s most famous residents, noted Quebec chef and celebrity Jehane Benoit, who died in 1987.The exhibition features a recreation of Benoit’s kitchen, along with her kitchen table, cookbooks and many other artefacts.There is even a little jar containing a handful of cigarettes and a Bic lighter.(Benoit always smoked one cigarette after every meal, and never at any other time, according to museum president Richard Leclerc.) The next meeting of the Eastern Townships chapter of the FHQ will take place in Knowlton in March 2013.Fondation 1 duCHUS Camouflaging Entrance Doors to the Geriatric Unit Plants, a bookcase with books, a wooden wardrobe, and an old-fashioned radio sitting on a short brick wall are just some of the things you'll see on a walk through the acute-care unit at Hôtel-Dieu hospital.Skeptics will be confused because these items are all parts of murals in the geriatric unit to conceal access doors.By providing funding for this camouflaging, the CHUS Foundation's Brigitte-Perreault fund achieved two goals at the same time.First, it humanizes care by creating a more welcoming, reassuring, and stimulating setting for hospitalized patients with cognitive disorders, who often find a hospital stay stressful.The murals help make for a more pleasant stay, it also appears that the artwork entices some people out of their rooms, which helps them regain their independence more rapidly, among other things.In addition, since the artwork does a good job concealing the doors, patients are less tempted to see what's on the other side.As a result, the murals can help reduce the risk of patients wandering off and make it easier for staff to perform monitoring.Two chairs and a small bookcase in from of this murai draw aH attention away from the elevator Patients sit and relax in this cozy corner.hospital CHUS Hôtel-Dieu department Geriatric Acute-Care Unit investment $ 10,000 f blJow us on rev www.fondationchus.org Stanstead Upcoming open house at CAB By Matthew Farfan The CAB Rediker Centre (112 Principale, Beebe), which helps hundreds of seniors and families around the Three Villages, Ogden, Ayer’s Cliff, Hatley and Stanstead Township, and through a variety of programs, is holding an open house next Tuesday, October 23, beginning at 9:30 a.m.The event will be a chance for the volunteer centre to show off its popular Health Days program for English-speaking seniors.This program, which is open to all “seniors” 55 years old and over, includes a variety of fun and engaging activities for participants.Sessions are conveniently divided into English- and French-speaking groups.As part of the open house, the public will be able to join staff and volunteers for a demonstration of the CAB’s exercise class, along with games, fellowship, and a delicious, home-cooked (and free) lunch.Seating is limited, and those wishing to participate are required to RSVP before October 16.For more information, call (819) 876-7748.

the passing Tuesday of University of Sherbrooke professor emeritus Dr.Etienne Le Bel at the age of 86.A Pioneer of nuclear medicine in Canada, Dr.Le Bel trained the first nuclear medicine specialists in Quebec.Born in Montreal in 1926, Dr.Etienne Le Bel received his medical degree in nuclear oncology from the University of Montreal and began his career at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) Hospital in Fleurimont in 1969, which at the time consisted of the Faculty of Medicine and the Clinic of the University of Sherbrooke.That year, the Department of Medicine began Canada’s first recognized nuclear medicine residency program with Le Bel as its founding and only faculty member.Professor and Vice Dean of Research and Advanced Studies at the Faculty of Medicine from 1983 to 1988, he was scientific director of the CHUS Clinical Research Centre, from 1984 to 1993, providing much of the impetus for the construction of a separate building.In Oct.2005, the CHUS paid tribute to him by naming the building on his honour: the Centre de recherche clinique Éti-enne-Le Bel du CHUS.As a result of his tireless efforts and talent, the Centre de recherche clinique Étienne-Le Bel is now one of seven major research centres in Quebec and is distinguished by the success of its re- PICTURE (COURTESY) Dr.Etienne Le Bel.searchers and teachers, as well as its technological innovations.At the forefront of the major current concerns in health, Centre de recherche clinique Étienne-Le Bel now employs 211 researchers and innovators with an integrated approach that combines basic, clinical, epidemiological, and evaluative research.The Le Bel Centre and the Imaging Centre that he pioneered are now recognized throughout the world for their research and dynamism.Visitation for Dr Le Bel will be at Urgel Bourgie Funeral Complex, 1255 Beaumont Avenue, in Mont-Royal.Visiting hours are from 1 to 5 p.m.and from 7 p.m.to 9 p.m.this Saturday, Oct.20 and from 1 to 4 p.m.Sunday, October

page 1 about once a month in one of the shifts, and some more often.And we are always looking for new volunteers, particularly younger ones, people who have families and who don’t work fulltime.We are eager to have more French volunteers.Our volunteers are largely bilingual, but not all of them are,” says Potter.There are many duties for anyone who wants to volunteer for the library, and not only front desk dutie's.“There are also other duties, what we call shelfreading, keeping books in the right place.We do some weeding of books, we have book repairers, and book*coverers when we get new books that have to be covered.So, if some people are not too excited about being at the front desk they can do other types of work relating to books, sharing those skills for example.” Potter mentions that there are many activities going on in the library all year round, from book launches, to readings, musical performances, and creative writing workshops.About people of the community wanting to organize an event, “Yes, we would like to have them do that, as long as it is connected to the region and connected to the writing in the region, or the library in some way.We have two (creative) writing groups in English going on at the moment, Monday morning and Monday afternoon from local writers.We have local writ- ers who are seriously writing, but not yet publishing, who meet once a week to write together and critique each other’s writing.They are learning the art of creative biography at the moment,” says Potter.To organize a workshop at the library, membership is required.Membership is necessary in the North Hatley library because it is a community run library that has no financial support from the government.So, the life line of the library is the revenue it takes in from community members.Ines McNeil serves as the assistant to Potter.McNeil started using the library with her kids, then became a volunteer for the front desk, and more recently she serves as one of the directors on the executive for the Library governing board.Asked why she is so involved in the library as a volunteer, McNeil says, “I think literacy is very important.There are a lot of children who use the library, and some families come in and take 20 books out.So, I think that is an important role to promote literacy among children.We also serve an elderly community of retired people, and being here more now, I get to see these people on a weekly basis.so it can be a social outing too for them and for me.” The North Hatley Library is open from Tuesday’s until” Friday in the mornings,

to become a student delegate to the upcoming convention.I pointed out that I was basically apolitical, uninformed and not used to mass rallies of any sort unless you included the red room of the Georgian Hotel on a Friday night.He said that didn’t really matter and sealed the deal when he mentioned it would include a free weekend in Quebec City.Now, I’d never been to Quebec City and the prospect of free accommodation, a meal allowance and a return bus fare was enticing.After all, how much time could a convention take.You go.You listen to the speeches.You vote.That would surely leave ample time to check out historic sights, points of interest and the city’s justifiably famous night spots.There was one catch however.I had to be a member of the party.Given my youthful naivité, I assumed this would be a difficult process requiring references, skill-testing questions, security checks and any number of hurdles.I was wrong.The sole requirement was to fill out a membership form and pay a purely nominal fee (under a dollar if memory serves) and presto, I was a fully accredited, student voting delegate.At this point I should add the provincial Liberal Party was already aware of the seamier side of politics so it announced that all expenses for students would be paid by the party itself thus insuring the youthful delegates could not be bought by any individual candidate.This was viewed by all as a good thing and was unanimously accepted by those organizing the Bourassa, Laporte and Wagner campaigns.But here’s where it all went wrong.Upon arriving in Quebec we checked into our motel rooms and commenced a spirited debate on the platforms of the three candidates and whose hospitality suite to hit first.We were interrupted by a knock on the door.When we opened it we were face to face with a splendidly attired gentleman who introduced himself as an agent acting on behalf of Robert Bourassa.He went on to explain, all the while looking to his left and right in a most disconcerting fashion, that Mr.Bourassa understood that the party was paying our expenses but he knew how difficult money could be for students.Having said this he handed the leader of our delegation an unmarked brown envelope and without another word departed.After we closed the door we gathered round.The envelope was duly opened and the contents dropped onto the table - five, newly minted one hundred dollar bills.We had barely time to stifle the collective gasp when there came another knock on the door.This time we were face to face with a rather furtive figure in a badly worn trench coat.“Mr.Laporte doesn’t think the party has given you enough meal money.Here.” And with that he was gone.The envelope, it turned out, contained another five hundred dollars.Immediately there was a discussion of what to do with the money, although I confess I missed some of that while I RECORD P.0.Box 1200 ShertmwkeJlH 5L6 or 1195 Galt E, Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax tor Newsroom only:

case you were wonder-Bourassa won on the first ballot, we had ing, Claude Wagner never sent an enve-a great time in Quebec City and my fli- lope.I have met the enemy, and it is wrapped in a rich, chocolaty coating Ross Murray “We’ve got to go shopping if we want to get Em’s Christmas gift to Malaysia on time,” Deb said last week.“And we need Halloween candy.” “Noooooo!” I cried.“Don’t get Halloween candy yet!” “I’m not going to not buy Halloween candy just because you’re worried you’re going to eat it all,” she said.“Just don’t eat it.” Easier said than done.Chocolate and confections are designed to crush will power.Chocolate alone is famous for releasing pleasure-inducing endorphins.That’s science, and you can’t argue with science (unless you’re the Harper government).I would therefore like to blame science for the insatiable sweet tooth that I’ve developed over the last few years.In more glass-half-full moods, I try to think of it as a lifestyle choice, a lifestyle that includes sugar crashes and canker sores.Sometimes I spin it as policy: No Fez Left Behind, or Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Me You Ate All The Kit Kats.Mostly, though, I consider it a habit tinged with regret and telltale stains.When you start raiding bags of Chipits at midnight, you know you should be scanning the Yellow Pages for support groups.And it’s not even my fault (says the addict).Deb buys most of the chocolates and treats, and then she doesn’t touch them.“Why do you buy them if you don’t eat them?” I complain.“Because 1 might want one,” she says.“But James and I end up eating them,” I say.“Don’t eat them then.They’re mine.” James and I end up eating them.“I’ll buy you more,” I say sheepishly.Never is the temptation greater than at Halloween, which is no longer just a day but a full season, like the Christmas season and the sports labour-conflict season.Early in October, store shelves begin to swell with cheap candy, poorly made masks and plastic body parts, which is both symptomatic of something twisted in our culture and also another thing we can blame on cheap Chinese imports.And while it might be easy to bypass the Bloody Brain in Syrup at your local Dollarama, those boxes of Fun-Size chocolate bars at the grocery store are another kettle of Twix.“We’re sweet, and tiny and mostly harmless,” they call out.“We’re like a box of tiny Olsen twins.” Sure, but after I've eaten a dozen, they turn into tiny David Spades, and that pleasantly endorphined brain turns into a Willy Wonky stomach.Here’s an example of what happens: I come home at midday to let the dog out.I’ve had lunch at work and now I’m craving a little something sweet.I walk in, clean up the garbage the dog has gotten into (“Bad dog! That stuffs not good for you!”), let the dog out, and, while she’s taking care of business, I get a Fun Size Mars bar from the candy bowl.Might as well make it two for double the fun.In four meagre bites, they’re gone.Maybe one more.And three more in my pocket to take back to work for later.I eat them as soon as I get back to work.“Bad Ross! That stuffs not good for you!” So you see how helpless I felt when we ended up at a Sherbrooke department store, which we’ll call MallWart (“Nooooo!”), and why 1 groaned as we approached mausoleum of munchies.“This is for Halloween,” Deb said.“Stay out of it.Or do you want me to buy you one just to have?” “No.I don’t want it.1 don’t need it.” At home, the boxes and bags ended up in the basement, out of sight, out of stomach.Later that evening, I heard a rattle, and then the distinctive sound of Caramilks and Snickers tumbling into a bowl.“Hey, I thought you didn’t buy any to open now,” I protested.“I didn’t say James couldn’t have one,” Deb said.I don’t feel so good.

According to the company, the boat will be fully inspected by the US Coast Guard and will be able to carry 49 passengers plus crew.It will offer “sightseeing, luncheon, dinner, and educational cruises, plus many different themed cruises and specially designed Canadian destination cruises to Owls Head Resort, Apple pie fest By Matthew Farfan Organizers of the recent apple pie festival at the Colby-Curtis Museum in Stanstead had said that their event would go on — “rain or shine."

The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday, October1 18, 2012 Page 11 SMART MONEY Lottery conundrum: all that money now, or later?By Bruce Williams DEAR BRUCE: Friends of mine won a million dollars in the lottery.Would they be better off taking the lump sum or taking payments of $32,000 a year for 20 years?— P.S., via email DEAR P.S.: Congratulations to your friends.1 have never seen a situation where taking the annual payments made any sense.Lotteries advertise these huge payouts, but then when it comes time to pay a winner, they actually pay a much smaller amount in cash as a lump sum.The other option is to make annuity payments stretched out over 20 years — sometimes longer.Other things being equal, unless the recipients have some type of a problem such as liens — huge debts that would immediately be attached — the cash payout is to their advantage.Spendthrifts might opt for the payouts over 20 years because they know they will blow through the lump sum payment.But on balance, I would take the lump sum.DEAR BRUCE: I'm considering income tax training with the intention of serving the middle-class wage earner.Does the blue-collar worker pay too much in taxes because he is ignorant of legitimate deductions?Logic suggests that tax preparers have little motive to zealously see tax savings on his behalf, since doing so would only increase the chance of being audited by the 1RS.Please enlighten.— Reader, via email DEAR READER: The tax code, even for the medium-income worker bee, is entirely more complicated than it needs to be.That said, I am a firm believer in using someone who has the type of training that you are considering.You say, “Logic suggests that tax preparers have little motive to zealously see tax savings.” That’s nonsense.The reason people use a tax preparer is that they are looking for savings, and the tax preparer wants to find them so the person will come back in following years as a return client.The idea of seeking tax savings does not increase the chance of an audit unless they get very adventuresome.1 suggest that you do a lot of homework into learning what taxes are about and why people may seek your services.Until you are persuaded that what you are doing is a worthwhile proposition, you will never be a firm advocate for your client and the profession.Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams.com or to Smart Money, P.0.Box 7150, Hudson, FL 34674.Questions of general interest will be answered in future columns.The Bruce Williams Show can now be heard at www.brucewilliams.com on the Made in America Broadcast Network.Death Death Chrissy GUILLETTE Passed away following a courageous battle at the Coati-cook Palliative Care Unit on October 13, 2012.Beloved wife of Mark Haseltine and loving mother of Sarah and Zachary.Cherished daughter of Linda and Mark Guillette and sister to Karen.Dearest daughter-in-law of Ron and Paulette Haseltine and sister-in-law of Julie (Ted) and Wendy.She will be missed by her nieces and nephews Samantha, Michael, Noah, Courtney, Aaron, Taylor and Devon;

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday, October 18, 2012 Page 15 Your Birthday THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18,2012 Look for some exciting times to be in the offing in the year ahead.However, don’t expect this to be the case if you try to mix business and friendship.Keep these two areas of your life separate, if you can.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — If your credibility with others could be fragile at present, it wouldn’t be wise to tell any fish stories.You need to have the trophies to back up your tales.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - You are the type of person who seldom counts his or her chickens before they’re hatched.However, for some reason, you might bank heavily on something more wishful than real.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -Watch out for someone with ulterior motives who could try to manipulate you with flattery.If someone says that you’re one of the greatest people alive, enjoy, but be on guard.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Someone for whom you’ve gone out of your way several times might not be in a mood to reciprocate when needed.Chalk it up to experience.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) - If a social gathering that you’re invited to is likely to include several people you dislike, don’t punish yourself by not going and missing out on the fun; be prepared to turn the other cheek.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) - Instead of taking bows for something you’ve yet to accomplish, tell it like it is.It could cause you embarrassment down the line if the work in question should go unfinished.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Usually, you like to play things spontaneously, and you do quite well, but unless you plan every step of the way today, you’re likely to trip over your own feet.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Before getting yourself involved in a joint endeavor, think carefully about the costs and responsibilities that you’d be taking on.If things are not equally distributed, it won’t work out.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t underestimate your adversaries, especially if you’re involved in negotiating a critical matter.That edge you think you have may only exist in your head.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — The truth will out itself and put you in a very embarrassing position if you fudge the facts and pretend that you’ve done something that you promised to do but have yet to complete.Tell it like it is.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — If you are tempted to cater to your whims in order to achieve instant gratification, chances are you might engage yourself in something extremely extravagant and financially unwise.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) - Be careful not to do anything that could jeopardize a relationship with some key allies.Your projects and prospects need the goodwill and support of these people.THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2012 Keep counting winners and losers By Phillip Alder Robin Hayes, the chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, said, “With over one billion users and counting worldwide, the Internet has quickly become a critical place for individuals, business communities and governments to share and distribute information.” The Internet has been good for bridge players, but bad for bridge clubs, with plummeting attendances.This deal, though, centers on counting — something bridge players worldwide should do as much as they can.South is in six hearts.West leads the club jack to declarer’s ace.How many winners and losers does South have?What should he do?When South had enough to jump-rebid in hearts.North wondered if there might be a grand slam.But deciding that he would never be able to find out with any accuracy, he settled for the small slam.(Real bridge players don’t need Blackwood!) South should see one, two or three losers in diamonds, depending upon the split of that suit.He has 11 top tricks: two spades, six hearts, one diamond and two clubs.North 10-18-12 ?A K 7 4 2 V K 10 ?A 6 5 3 2 ?8 East ?Q 10 9 8 V 6 5 ?Q ?Q 7 6 4 3 2 South ?5 ?A Q J 9 8 3 ?10 8 7 4 ?A K Dealer: South Vulnerable: Both South West North East 1V Pass 1 é Pass 3 V Pass 6 V All pass Opening lead: 4 J The first thought is probably that South needs to find the missing diamonds breaking 2-2.But that ought to be left in reserve.Perhaps a third spade winner can be established.Declarer should win trick one, play a spade to dummy’s king, ruff a spade high, cross to dummy with a trump, ruff another spade, and draw trumps.Are spades 4-3?If so, play a diamond to dummy’s ace and cash the ace and seven of spades.However, if the spades are 5-2, South must hope for 2-2 diamonds.West 4 J 6 3 V 7 4 2 ?K J 9 * J 10 9 5 CROSSWORD Across 1 Browns' org.4 Twine material 9 Come-ons 14 SS supplement, for some 15 Golfer who was #1 when she retired in 2010 16 Missouri’s__Mountains 17 TUMS target 18 Congregational divide 20 Modern address starter 22 Spirited mount 23 Do a hatchet job 24 “Inside the NBA” analyst Barkley, familiarly 28 Burning rubber sound 30 Decorous 34 Green hole 35 Wings it, musically 39 Heavenly bear 40 Fix-it guide 44 Like many eBay items 45 Tuscany city 46 Hum attachment?47 Fable messages 50 Manually 52 Woolly garment 56 He voiced Elmer 59 Sweethearts maker 60 Leap in a tutu 63 Office purchase, and in a way, what can be seen in this puzzle’s sequence of circles 67 Fish lacking pelvic fins 68 Aptly named bug spray 69 New product div.70 Holiday tuber 71 Surrogate 72 Out of port 73 “Strange Magic” rock gp.Down 1 Soon to happen 2 Its name usually has only two or three letters 3 Da Vinci masterpiece, with “The” 4 Humanities maj.5 Einstein’s “I” 6 Complaint about a library volume?7 Primary artery 8 One working on a punch, perhaps 9 Dump truck adjunct 10 Israeli arms expert_ Gal 11 Diaper woe 12 Gardner who invented cases 13 Depict unfairly 19 Common menu option 21 À la mode serving 25 Sitarist Shankar 26 Woodwind instr.27 Franklin’s genre B B O Y 1 O T A G R O W A R O N 1 P O L E si E W E R P G R A V 1 A U R A L G R E C O A T S P 1 N S O A S T ¦ F 1 L L fl T R E Y ¦ E T A J[ T A H 151 E I RATE B E G O L D B O E s 1 G N H E E T I T N R E T D RIE AlPlElR PRUDE BOW E M T S S S 1 0 N A P N E A |E R O C K 1 R A E T S P S 28 Rugby tussle 29 Mexican cheese 31 Magnum, for one 32 Krupp Works city 33 Did Ebert’s job 36 Roast hosts, for short 37 Part ofPBK 38 Understand 41 First family member?42 “Mad Money” channel 43 Put on the canvas 48 Desolate 49 Poet Silverstein 51 Pilgrimage to Mecca 53 Ghana’s capital 54 Apple messaging tool 55 Horses with interspersed colored and white hairs 56 Amt.you don’t expect to pay 57 Wide-mouthed pourer 58 Slimming choice, briefly 61 Marsh duck 62 Sailor’s patron 64 Plague 65 Ending with fluor- 66 Nutritional stat Sla 24 5 Page 16 Thursday, October 18, 2012 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com j The Record mum lUifsfi.il ! if r 2 ?S o i ” |î4i5fl-f ™ = S J ifpiiî! i||ii|ÎL I.Ï l!»5 fsjlÏJtll ss s- s |s g =- rô .£ O m f.ll|l|I|i! mnm s s & -g^ -g sxï"g2lœ“ W°- rô c8a>» tu 3 oi fc “ = 5JSî«?2sa = I“SÊÏS1'" fl^gllrêi E S î î ^ -g,® 2 c Ü S S —5Î -S ^ 1 2 5 Ss-C; ‘C « :e ! ^ | c ^ ^ S* >.ûj ^ c m O ^ = 5s'C.S=S«-e I * s I | s ?J 1 | B ï i " -g =-'| iliil5s.|- ¦sï!!q'j!oæ| ^ SP.2! ^ -S?£ ™ QÎJ2 «glsllilr SgSë g| ; illiptll |ii“||Hi l 11 r'j
