The next speaker?Pierre Paradis comes in from the cold By Rita Legault Sherbrooke Rumour has it that Liberal stalwart Pierre Paradis will be the next speaker of the National Assembly.“It’s not a done deal,” the Brome-Missisquoi MNA said as he confirmed the talk.“It’s something that has happened and my reaction is that I’m listening.” Parliamentary tradition has it that the speaker’s job, a role reserved for a seasoned parliamentarian, is occupied by a member of the ruling party.Even if the speaker is elected by a majority of members of the National Assembly, an unwritten rule holds that the person selected must have the support of the opposition.Paradis said the speaker, or president of the National Assembly, is usually the preferred choice of fellow parliamentarians.Please see Paradis on Page 4 Girls in bikinis Horror movie in Stanstead By Joe Strizzi Sherbrooke Lock the doors, close the windows, and don’t walk the streets of Stanstead alone at night because a serial killer may have just moved in next door, or at least an actor who plays one.Please see Slasher on Page 8 Va» No booze A North Hatley patio has its liquor licence pulled PAGE 3 The Queen Two seconds with Her PAGE 7 Boom!

Staff Sherbrooke Mother Nature has been cooperating as thousands of Sherbrooke residents have been participating in the annual Fête du lac des nations celebrations.Organizers reported a record crowd of more than 30,500 was on hand for the opening and thousands more came out over the past two nights to enjoy the midway, the outdoor concerts, and the provincial fireworks competition.Even an almost full moon was out to enjoy the evening on Wednesday night as our reporter snapped fireworks pictures from her deck a few blocks away.Wednesday’s fireworks featured the local pyrotechnical firm FAE Pyrotechnie, which won the contest last year, setting the bar for competitors this year.The local pyrotechnical firm got its start at the Fete du Lac almost a quarter century ago.Organizers estimated more than 35,000 people were on hand to enjoy the spectacle that was set to tunes by U2, Céline Dion, Goo Goo Dolls and Michael Bublé.Last night’s fireworks were presented by Firemaster Productions from Ontario.Tonight the pyrotechnical show will be presented by Fireworks Spectaculars Canada from Alberta and Mother Nature may be putting on a display of her own as Environment Canada predicts possible thunderstorms.The fireworks competition wraps up on Saturday with Profit Inc.from British Columbia.Mother Nature may be back with a liquid display from the sky.The final show, on Sunday, will be presented by Royal pyrotechnie which kicked off the festival on Tuesday night with an out-of-competition fireworks display.Paradis: Cont’d from Page 1 And, with a Liberal minority government, he said it’s important that the speaker has the confidence of all parties.Two of the last presidents of the National Assembly, the retiring Michel Bissonnet and Jean-Pierre Charbonneau, insisted on being elected, said Paradis, saying a vote is a good idea.“You need an election to assess if the speaker has the moral authority needed to accomplish the task,” he said, noting that unlike the adversarial job of other parliamentarians, the speaker must talk with all the parties.“You have to be very diplomatic,” he said, chuckling when asked if that was one of his qualities.The president of Quebec’s National Assembly, called a speaker in English-language parliaments, is the presiding officer of the assembly.He or she is the fourth person in importance of the protocolary order of Quebec after the lieutenant governor, the premier and the deputy premier.The president administers the services of the assembly and represents it in its relations with other parliaments.The job is a “very special function”, said Paradis, noting that when a person is chosen as speaker, the tradition is they are dragged to the seat at the head of the house by party leaders.“But the speaker always takes a step back.So they resist.” Unless something dramatic happens to recall MNAs early, Paradis said he will likely get the speaker’s job when the National Assembly resumes on the second Tuesday in October.Paradis said he would be honoured to be chosen by his peers.But he is seemingly modest about his selection and effusive in his praise of the competition.“They need somebody to do the job and any of the current deputy speakers could do it,” he said, noting Parti Québécois MNA François Gendron, who has more than 30 years of political experience and acumen, would be more than qualified for the job.“Right now I’m the MNA for Brome Missisquoi and the chair of the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and I’m a happy fellow,” he told The Record.His comment belies a few tough years in politics.He has represented the Townships in the National Assembly since 1980, but been repeatedly shut out of the cabinet by Premier Jean Charest despite being one of the most seasoned politicians on his roster.Paradis served in former premier Robert Bouras-sa’s cabinet and played the crucial role of Opposition House Leader while the Liberals were in opposition.Paradis, who had reasonable expectations of being picked for a plum job when the Liberals returned to power in 2003, questioned his future in politics when he was left out of the inner circle.But after a summer of reflection, he returned to the leg- islature despite the snub.He said the illness and death of his mother played a part in his reflection on what was important in life.Later, when the Liberals were re-elected in 2007, Paradis once again expected to be called up.He was one of the few Liberals with any experience in the minority Liberal government that now held only 48 seats.But the maverick MNA, who had displeased his Liberal masters for opposing the sale of Mount Or-ford, was once again excluded from cabinet.That time, Paradis had plenty of company on the sidelines.Warming the bench with him were former revenue minister Lawrence Bergman and former native affairs Minister Geoffrey Kelley, who were both demoted as anglophones lost all their clout in cabinet.Paradis was the only Liberal MNA to avoid signing a petition asking Charest to leave his job as leader of the federal Conservatives and instead lead the provincial Liberals in 1998.At the time Paradis, who had long cherished leadership aspirations, believed his time had finally come.The MNA came in second to Robert Bourassa during the leadership race when he was a fledgling Liberal in 1981.In 1993, a more seasoned Paradis was ready to run again, but the party hierarchy forced him to step aside in order to crown Daniel Johnson.Following Johnson’s retirement from politics in 1998, Paradis expected to be a real contender for the top job.But his hopes were dashed again as the party brass recruited Charest.Paradis rallied to Charest’s team.He became Opposition House Leader and took care of the troops while Charest travelled across Quebec preparing his second run for government.Now that Speaker Michel Bissonnet has announced his retirement, pundits believe Paradis’ time for a promotion has finally come.Rumours first printed in the Journal de Montreal Thursday say Charest spoke to Paradis this week.He appears to be a shoe-in for the job.Le journal reported that a source inside the Action démocratique du Québec confirmed Paradis’s candidature is being discussed.The PQalso supports Paradis, although they would like their longtime MNA Gendron to get the job.Paradis, who turned 58 this week, would not comment if getting the speaker’s job will put an end to his leadership aspirations.“That’s not a fair question,” he said.But taking the job will mean an end to partisan politics — except at election time.Paradis said that’s the attitude he’s always brought to politics.“If you look at my record in the riding, I represent everybody in the riding,” he said, repeating his oft-heard comment that it’s his job as MNA that interests him the most.“Serving my electorate remains my main thing,” he said.“The rest is just side dishes.” That won’t change if he gets the new job.“When I was a minister not too many people (in the riding) knew,” he boasted.“I want to keep that personal approach with my voters.” “ nu ».- record; First hay crop a disaster Friday, July IS, 2008 page 5 Analyst worried about ‘big problem ’ for farmers By Jen Young Sherbrooke Farming in Quebec is a delicate mix of skill and technique with a pinch of luck, and hay analysis expert Teriy Winslow said farmers got a really bad break with this season’s first hay cut.“I’ve never seen such poor dry hay and haylage results in 25 years of testing," said the owner and founder of Agri-Analyse, a forage and grain analysis lab in Lennoxville.“Farmers were extremely late getting their hay in.Throughout Quebec maybe one in 100 farmers actually got their hay in on time.For the ones that cut their crops in late May they are starting their second cut.“Right now I have some, not many, but some customers who started early are already starting their second cut, while the majority are barely finished their first.” Winslow analyzes more than 12,000 samples from farmers across North America annually, and calls this Waterloo fire destroys six businesses By Nikki Johnston Knowlton Afire broke out on 195 Western street in Waterloo early Thursday morning, with six businesses going up in flames.The 12:15 a.m.blaze destroyed the building with damages totaling several million dollars, said Louis-Phillipe Ruel, spokesman for the Sûreté du Québec.A police patrol nearby saw the smoke coming from the building and called the Waterloo fire station.Four more fire stations and 50 firefighters were called in to get the fire under control, including Brome Lake, Sutton, Cowansville and Shefford.“It was a major fire, we lost, I’d say, 80 per cent of the building and 70 per cent was already caught on fire when we arrived,” said Waterloo fire chief Patrick Gallagher, following an afternoon of meetings with public officials and business owners.“We concentrated our efforts on the year’s situation is startling.“(Dry) hay takes about 72 hours to make from start to finish, and the key is heat.It has to be dry.This year, the hay was ready by the end of May.Traditionally farmers will wait to start until around the 12th of June, but for those who waited they got rain, and more rain.Some fields are still soggy now even though we’ve seen some heat recently.Most farmers don’t want to start that early because the crops are smaller and they hold out for heat in June and a bigger yield.” Holding out for taller crops hurt, and will end up costing those farmers big bucks.“Thé younger the plant is, the more nutrients it has.The ones that started early may not have as much in quantity, but the nutrient values are much higher.I’ve never seen these poor results, ever.Proteins and energy go hand in hand with how well the cow produces.They need the nutrients to produce their expected amount of milk, in quality and quantity.If farmers started early they are looking at about 26 per cent protein, but for those that started late the hay is testing at only 8 per cent protein.That’s a big problem.MB COURTESY The hay all rolled up in the fields.front side of the building where there was a welding shop, which was very high risk,” Gallagher said.Firefighters were able to protect parts of the shop, so business will be carried out from another location.All other business owners are reorganizing their schedules and clients, said Gallagher, and will be able to carry out daily activities temporarily, but he said he can not be sure what they will do next.Firefighters got the flames under control around 3:30 a.m.and the fire was extinguished by 10 a.m.this morning.The cause of the fire is unknown, and the Waterloo fire station and the SQwill launch a joint investigation over the next few days to determine the cause and circumstance of the fire, Gallagher said.The building employed about 30 workers.No one was in the building at the time of the fire.“I didn’t believe the results I was seeing.I was shocked.That means those nutrients need to be supplemented, which will be an extra expense for farmers.” He said that hay with 26 per cent protein equals an “okay” profit in terms of how much milk can be produced on that diet and how much weight a beef cow will gain.But only eight per cent protein would put a farmer in the red — and money problems are already hitting farmers, what with increasing gas prices and materials costs.Later hay is also too filling.“Protein goes with energy.When the hay is late the cows can’t eat as much.It’s filled with indigestible fibre.If the Please see Hay on Page

Wednesday afternoon an Acura Integra was reported stolen on Alexandre Street, said Sherbrooke police spokesman Martin Carrier.A few moments later, patrollers spotted a car matching the description of the stolen vehicle on Dunant.Police intercepted the car and arrested the two dumfounded suspects on board.“It was an easy arrest,” said Carrier.“The two men did not realize news of the theft would spread so quickly.” The two Sherbrooke men, aged 22 and 28, were released on a promise to appear in court on charges of car theft.On Wednesday evening, a Sherbrooke man walking along Darche Street flagged down a unmarked police car with two officers in plainclothes aboard and asked them if they were delivering his cocaine, said Carrier.The two officers said no and went to park a little further to observe, said Carrier, noting that when another man showed up a few minutes later, police Please Busted on Page 8 Canada BANK ON CANADIAN ENTREPRENEURS BDC MAKES A UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION TO THE

was a bit scary, with gun; shots fired after a confrontation.As we went over the details at the Newport, Vt.Daily Express, a little humor did emerge.When you think of a border jumper you think of a big tough criminal who will stop at anything to make a break for it, either by brute force or overpowering firepower.The last suspect, a 33-year-old Brazilian whose name was not released, was picked up about 10 p.m.on Monday night on Canusa Street.Apparently he went and rang a doorbell and asked the resident of the house to please call him a taxi.The Stanstead woman who answered the door thought

Dear editor I cannot imagine a greater insult to the people of Quebec and Canada.The organizers of 400th anniversary of Quebec City have hired Paul McCartney, a foreign entertainer, to perform Sunday at the celebration in Quebec.I would like to inform you and the people of Quebec and Canada that Paul McCartney has for years promoted a boycott of Quebec and Canadian fish products around the world.How dare the politicians and organizers of this celebration of our country use tax payers’ money to hire a has-been entertainer who hates this country and the people who work so hard to feed it.This is an other example of those who are in power having no regard for the people.Quebec and Canada has some of the finest entertainers in the world yet so many of them have not been hired to perform in Quebec.Are the organizers stupid or are they getting a kickback?What do you think.Lyn Davignon Leader ofYNPP.CA party (Your Non Profit Party) Huntingdon To know god, or God?Dear editor Did letter writer Brian Timmins (“Morgentaler versus Somerville”, July 15 Record) say he understands God?At least that’s what I think he said, since he said you have to have some understanding of God and morality to talk about them which he was doing at the time, ipso facto, Brian knows God.Can I ask which god?One of the ancient Roman types, or possibly one of the Greek ones?Are those ancient deities still even considered gods or have they been demoted, sorry for having to ask but I’m not up on these things.What exactly was that moral fabric our ancestors brought with them to this land that you hold in such high esteem?The only fabric I remember from the the Canadian history of my high school years was the small pox blankets passed out to keep the natives warm.Is that what you meant?Or was it the “ school” system that was set up re-educate the native children of this country?The one that seemed to have no other purpose than to destroy the native culture, language and communities.Maybe those schools were to help those children more easily fit into the new customs, traditions: culture, that had rolled over them like a tsunami.If so, it makes you wonder why Stephen Harper felt the need to apologize so completely for the actions of these morally enlightened, god fearing people.Maybe Harper just doesn’t get it, possibly he doesn’t understand god.By the way, should the government ever make the mistake of nominating me for the Order Of Canada, I think I’d be the first nominee to set a condition to be met before accepting it.I’d want the ever snooty, always annoying Margaret

Bulwer Saving the raccoon Dear editor Last Friday, we saw a small raccoon on the top of the insulator of a Hydro pole (about 40 feet high).Saturday morning, the raccoon was still there so we called the Ministry of Natural Resources and Wildlife and were told that they couldn’t help because they didn’t have a ladder long enough.They said the raccoon would come down by himself that night.We told them he was turning in circles and trying to get down and that it was supposed to reach 29 degrees that day and he would probably not survive: he told us that he understood but he couldn’t do anything and if he was still there on Sunday to call them back.As a last attempt to save the raccoon we called Hydro Quebec who sent a truck and got him down.We would like to thank Hydro for all their assistance: they even called on Sunday to make sure everything was alright.The Taylor family St.Felix-de-Kingsey Tell us what you’re thinking! The Record welcomes letters to the editor.By e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com By post: 1195 Galt E., Sherbrooke, JIG 1Y7 JtECORD: Friday, July 18, 2008 page 7 One second with Aretha Franklin The queen of soul Getting close to a celebrity is an adrenalin producing experience.I can’t figure out why.After all, as a character in a Muppet movie once said, “Peoples is peoples.” Just because someone is a great singer or actress or model, society shouldn’t really accord an individual greater status than Joe Blow Ordinary Guy.but we know better.It does.The rich and famous in our world are a cut above the rest of us and if we get a brush with them, we feel lucky.I actually had one of those brushes last week a day or two before the Montreal Jazz Festival ended.My friends, husband and I were standing on the corner of Bleury and de Maisonneuve waiting for the light to change when we noticed a car coming out of an area that had been closed off to traffic.Two very large men were walking along either side of a black Cadillac with their arms outstretched deliberately obstructing an onlooker’s view of who might be in the car.Of course, this very action called attention to the car and we all turned to Ellen Goldfinch look at it, wondering who might be inside.One of the bodyguards called to a third man to open the metal roadblock that blocked its path.When this was done, the body guard on our side of the car jumped into the passenger seat.We now could see a passenger in the back window.“Is that Aretha Franklin?" my husband asked.“It is Aretha Franklin,” I answered.With my large mouth and tendency to over-enunciate, Ms Franklin must have been able to read my lips.She flashed a V or peace sign or victory sign at us as the car pulled away.Now I have been riding out the excitement of having the Queen of Soul herself flash a V whatever sign at me for over a week.I’m a huge fan.In fact, the first rock concert that I can Somebody’s Mother ifaiii ever remember was when my friend’s mother took her and me to see Aretha Franklin at Lincoln Center in New York City when I was about 12 years old.The concert blew me away.It wasn’t only the voice; it was the boas that she and her backup singers wore and flashed all over the stage.How many of us get to wear boas on a regular basis?I’d wager not too many.Anyone who wears a boa has got to be a special person, right?Talent and money definitely have a way of singling a select few out of the herd and raising them up.Thus shows like American Idol, Canadian Idol and So You Think You Can Dance are con- trived.They are cheaper to produce — no pesky writers and actors to pay.We can pity and ridicule the poor slobs who haven’t the wit to realize that they are not one of the elite of this world and we can marvel at their nerve in humiliating themselves in front of millions of people.Finally, we can thrill to the Cinderella stories of those who rise above the competition to win fame and glory for a year or two before becoming has-beens and once-rans, as unfortunately so many of them seem to do.When I see how people fare in these so-called talent competitions, it wouldn’t have surprised me if a young Aretha Franklin wouldn’t have won, but who cares?She was not the svelte cookie cutter sex kitten that today’s female pop vocalists seem to be but boy, could she sing! She may not be someone’s American Idol but she is the reigning Queen of Soul and it was exciting to see her for that fleeting moment in the flesh.Ellen Goldfinch may be reached at RADIOMOTHER@HOTMAIL.COM.190CC, 22 TON LOG SPLITTER S.x YOU’RE OUT HERE FOR A REASON.SO ARE WE.Out here, there are fences to mend, animals to feed and ground to be worked.Since 1938, Tractor Supply Co.has served the rural lifestyle with a unique assortment of tools, supplies and equipment.We’re here to help get the job done, whatever it takes.For a location nearest you, visit TractorSupply.com Prices in U.S.Dollars Effective July 16-21, 2008 at U.S.Tractor Supply locations WSSwurcs !

Stanstead's popularity amongst filmmakers continues to grow, and Canadian filmmaker Bashar Shbib believes that the pristine surroundings in the region are probably the main reasons.“There is a cache of old Victorian style buildings,” said the president of Sunset Pictures, a Montreal-based film company, but whose production house is in Stanstead at the old Notre-Dame Catholic School.“The beautiful architecture is now being restored and it is the perfect small, inviting town to make a movie.” Since Shbib returned to the Townships four years ago, he estimates that more than 10 feature length movies have been filmed in the region, with three more set for this year, including Bikini Girls on Ice.Originally from Coaticook, Shbib studied at Concordia University, moving on to make movies in Beverly Hills, with over 20 films under his belt as a director and as a producer.Returning to Montreal to complete his doctorate, at McGill, Shbib moved to Stanstead where he opened a popular dining spot called Millie’s Diner on Dufferin Street, and he found a place to hang his filmmaker’s hat.IT’S SUMMERTIME! NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS Summer Schedule: June 16th to August 15th “I’m here at least for five years before I finish my doctorate, so I wanted to establish a production facility that makes it easier for big movie productions to move into a small town and get everything they need like lodging, food, and production facilities,” Shbib said.Although it’s not a huge production, Shbib’s company will slip into that role for Bikini Girls on Ice.The film’s director said Stanstead would be the film’s primary shoot location.“We will be filming about 60 to 70 per cent of the movie in Stanstead, as we found a great little garage on Canusa Road, as well as parts in other locations in the Townships like Lennoxville and Pigeon Hill,” Klein said.The movie has what Klein calls a classic ’80s campground slasher feel.As the movie’s promo goes, a girl’s soccer team organizes a bikini car wash in an attempt to raise funds to go to a national tournament.What they do not know is that the bigger problem lies within the rotting walls of the abandoned garage that was chosen as the venue to host the fundraising event.Bearing the stench of solitude, a mechanic with a penchant for homicide on ice hides in the shadows.“I loved those classic horror movies growing up, despite being obviously cheesy.When I met up with Jeff Ross (a friend and fellow producer and writer), I expressed the need to shoot a feature length slasher film that stood apart from the rest in this same genre.I wanted to create a killer that people would not forget, and a slasher film where people went in knowing what to expect, but come out saying, hey, that’s a good story.” The film begins shooting on location, mostly overnight, on Aug.1 and will run for 20 days.So, if you’re driving by a garage in the wee hours of the morning next month, and some young lady in her bathing suit-comes running out drenched with blood, don’t call the cops.Busted: Cont’d from Page 5 RECORD Are you moving, or going away on vacation?Don’t wait until the last minute to let us know.Please give us at least one week’s notice during this busy time.Thank you 819-569-9528 accounting@videotron.ca swooped down and arrested both the alleged pusher, 40-year-old Mario Du-mais, and his supposed customer, 25-year-old Sherbrooke resident Éric-Sébastien Payeur.“If the guy hadn’t flagged down police, he never would have been caught,” said Carrier.A few hours later, a 40-year-old man arrived at police headquarters on Marquette Street where he told police officers there were some outstanding warrants for his arrest and that he wanted to resolve his issues with the justice system.Officer, who were talking to the suspect as they filled out the paperwork, asked the suspect how he had gotten to the police station.He told then he had driven there.Carrier said police went out to check the lone car parked in front of the station.Turns out.the Hyundai Sonata had recently been reported stolen in the borough of Brompton.The man was also charged with vehicle theft./ f ;

setting the pace for the most successful stock car career in history.Petty on his career: “I just think I was a lucky son of a gun to be born at the right place at the right time under the right circumstances with a little bit of talent and a lot of talented people around me to put me in a position to be where I’m at today.” Garage Garble Rumours are circulating about the future of UPS in the Cup Series and all point to Richard Childress Racing and Clint Bowyer.It appears UPS will sit out next season and return in 2010 with RCR, replacing my favorite drink.ah.sponsor Jack Daniels.• Sponsor talk also has Michael Waltrip Racing showing up at Daytona in 2009 with only one sponsored car and to date Dale Earnhardt Inc.would not have any fully sponsored cars next year.The industry dictates that it is easier to sign a sponsor that is unhappy with an under-performing (bleeding) team than it is too find a virgin sponsor.There is a lot of Waltrip blood in the water and the sharks are circling.The 2009 season could be the beginning of the end for Waltrip.Waltrip took a couple of stupid pills before he got in the car owner business.It’s rumoured that he passed the prescription on to Tony Stewart.• All indicators point to an all-most certain Ryan Newman-Tony Stewart team for 2009.It appears the decision is made and sponsors are lining up.Until further notice RR&R will assume its Newman.What they’re saying “With the new car going to so many race tracks we’ve never been to.I think a team can get hot and really good.The way you ran in May isn’t necessarily going to be indicative of how you may run in November.With that said, I think it’s anybody ballgame.Whoever gets in the Chase will have an honest shot.” -Jeff Burton PERRY BEATON Sunday’s doubleheader starts at 4 p.m.THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH Winners of WWE contest are: • Diane Moore • Kathy Marcotte • Cody Custeau Sullivan • Dylon MacLeod • Lyle Mosher • Cindy Mills • Kim Johnson • Lisa Fowler • Steve Bellam • Cindy Brault WWE Bathrobe: Marc Gilbert Congratulations !

and Robert (Bob) Gillis, 70, July 20, 2008.Dear Annie: My wife and I married 15 years ago.She has one son, “Evan.” Three months after our wedding, Evan’s wife divorced him.She’d been supporting him for 12 years while he drank and cheated on her.This is when he started mooching off of us.Evan lost his license due to six DWIs.He drank himself out of his job and was headed for Skid Row, so I let him live with us.I hired a lawyer for him and, when he stopped drinking and driving, bought him a pickup.Altogether it cost me nearly $5,000.He moved out after three months and has had nothing but menial jobs ever since, none of which he has managed to keep for any length of time.Two weeks ago, we learned Evan was $1,000 behind on his rent and has to move.The director of the local rescue mission says he can stay there for free until he finds a job and a place of his own.I am all for it.My wife, however, demands I buy him a large camper trailer.I say it is not our job to provide free housing and support for a 49-year-old single man.My stepson is in denial about his drinking problem, and his mother has enabled him all his life.This man-child has done nothing but take advantage of us and I am tired of it.What can I do?— Stepdad Dear Stepdad: Stick to your guns.' Your wife mistakenly believes she is helping her son by bailing him out and allowing him to avoid responsibility for his actions.Counseling can help her see she is preventing Evan from growing up, but she must be willing to go.In the meantime, both of you should contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) at 1-888-4-AL-ANON (1-888-425-2666) and ask for help.Dear Annie: I am a young woman who just got out on her own into a new apartment.I did not move far from my mother and grandmother.In fact, we live within 50 feet of each other.The problem is that they are over here constantly.When I come home from work, they are making dinner, sitting on my couch or watching TV.On my days off, which I cherish.Mom comes over early in the morning and then asks to spend the night.I love them, it’s just that I am about to scream for some personal time.If I say something about it to my mother, she cries, yells or gets very upset.She says she loves being in my place.This situation is getting Annie’s Mailbox on my last nerve.Any advice?— Annoyed at Home Dear Annoyed: Yes.Move.Your mother and grandmother will continue to stop by whenever they want because you feel too guilty to set boundaries.You must allow your mother to cry and throw a tantrum without giving in.She will eventually adjust and back off, but only if you insist on it and give it time to work.Otherwise, you’d best look for another apartment in a different part of town.Dear Annie: I absolutely loved your answer to “Educator in Pennsylvania,” who thinks bright kids should repeat a grade if they don’t finish their homework.You hit the nail on the head.I went through this with my son all through elementary school.The guidance counselor actually told him to dumb down his language so he wouldn’t put the other kids off.Can you believe it?Both my husband and I are educators, and we cannot believe the state of education in the country today.— An- Happy Birthday Happy 90th Birthday, Mom July 28,2008 Have a wonderful day, from your family Best wishes may be sent to: Phyllis Silvester The Henley House 20 Ernest Street Room 1151 St.Catharines, ON L2N7T2 other Pennsylvania Educator Dear Educator: Most teachers do an excellent job.Our problem is with those who refuse to be flexible or who don’t recognize that bright students can also have trouble with class work.Children do not all learn the same way.We admire those teachers who understand this and try to reach all of their students.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Congratulations Meaghan Enright winner of the Governor General Academic Medal at the International School at Jean Jacques Bertrand in Farnham.This medal is for the highest overall average for all five years.Meaghan your family and friends are thrilled and exceptionally proud of your incredible accomplishment.Your future is golden.’ Happy 40th!

Unless you’ve settled all of your old financial obligations, don’t take on any new ones, especially a large loan.It could be the one that finally boxes you in so tight you can't breath.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - You’ll have no trouble with those who are in accord with your way of doing things, but it will be another story if you have to deal with someone who opposes everything you say or do.Steer clear.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — You’re a free spirit, and this is likely to be one of those days when you’re not apt to work well under pressure.Make sure that you don’t pile more on yourself than you can comfortably handle.PISŒS (Feb.20-March 20) — Be particularly careful not to get involved with individuals whose standards do not measure up to yours.Better yet, avoid them altogether, be your own person and seek out compatible companions.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It will be your fault if you allow an old, unresolved family issue to rear its ugly head once again in the household.Don’t do anything to bring up hostilities and cause unhappiness.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - You won’t be tolerant of others telling you how to think, how to act or what to do, so don’t do the same to anyone else.Be your own person, and live and let live.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Your material gratification could be a bit stronger than usual and cause you to judge people not on their sociability and congeniality but on how much they have and what they can do for you.Saturday, July 19,2008 If your objectives are clearly defined in the year ahead, the probabilities for achieving success are better than usual.Know where you want to go, what you want to do and how you plan to get there, and your chances are excellent.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — A small difference between you and your mate .could quickly get blown out of proportion, so don’t deliberately bring up any old, volatile issue that you’ve been unable to resolve previously.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — You’re always willing to be helpful to others, but if you’re in the wrong mood, you could make a big thing out of a small favor.Minimize what it would take, rather than exaggerating things.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) - Should you find yourself in the company of someone who has been having a tough time financially, be careful not to talk about all the nice items that you’ve acquired recently.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) - Although things might not come out exactly as you had hoped, don’t make excuses.No one expects you or anyone else to win all the races.Remember, you’re human.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) — Even if you know your thoughts are better than those of your companions, don’t attempt to force the ideas down their throats.Present your thinking, but let them make the comparison themselves.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -Should you join a group that requires cash for a joint endeavor, make certain that all involved pay equal value.You might be getting used merely as a benefactor.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Don’t allow yourself to get maneuvered into a position where you are compelled to defend an unpopular position in which you truly don’t believe.Stand up only for what you can honestly support.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — You can be lucky when you take a gamble because it is usually based upon practical considerations.However, replacing reality with reckless abandonment will only bring despair.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — If you are part of a group activity, don’t ask for a last-minute change that would inconvenience others merely to make your life easier.Follow the agreed-upon plans.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Regardless of their good intentions, keep all relatives and outsiders out of your personal business.Matters and issues you normally resolve easily will be derailed by their interference.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Make certain that you have a game plan or a blueprint before starting any complicated project, especially if it is one you’ve never done before.Trying to ad-lib is asking for complications.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — People often try to tempt you to overspend, especially when you hang around with those who are big spenders.You might not be able to overcome it this time.Be prepared to go broke.Sunday, July 20,2008 You could be extremely fortunate in the year ahead with people who have experienced much success in the financial realm.These unique allies could substantially contribute to your greater earnings.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Measures can be taken at this time to improve your productivity on a big do-it-yourself project.Don’t hesitate to try something new that worked well for another.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — A recently established social alliance is destined to take on a far greater role in your life than you have anticipated.Today may lay the groundwork for just such a union, which will grow with time.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Greater involvement in a situation that would benefit the entire family could enhance the material welfare for everyone.Don’t hesitate to make the investment once you’ve thoroughly checked it out.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Don’t leave control of an important affair in the hands of another, especially if you feel you’re capable of doing a better job.Instead of being submissive, assert yourself.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) — If you have a pressing financial need, seek the required assistance from someone close — like a family member — before checking outside sources.That’s where you’re likely to get the help.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -Someone you need on your side who hasn’t been receptive to your point of view could do a complete turnaround.Restate your presentation and see what happens.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - You have a unique way of turning things around and malting much out of nothing.You might take a totally worthless item and turn it into something that is truly lovely.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Your peers will find your aura of strength and mystery exceptionally appealing.You don’t have to do anything special — just be yourself.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Because your perceptions are heightened, you will be able to detect things that aren’t easily discernible to others, especially when it comes to feathering your own cap.Abide by your instincts.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — The opportunity to discuss something with a friend who needs to be changed will present itself.Don’t let the moment pass because it might be a while before you’ll get another chance.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — The ways and means to advance a financial or commercial matter will be found when an individual with the right know-how directs you toward making the right moves.It’ll be a happy situation for all.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — When dealing with another concerning an important matter, you’d be wise to follow your own perceptions or instincts.They will be a reliable guideline.
