We have tents, we have portable toilets, we have a heated pool, and we are kid friendly,\u201d affirmed Maysen- hoelder.\u201cThe amenities count for our biggest expenses, but we have sponsor- ships from Caisse Desjardins and Mol- son, for example.\u201d Fever Fest does not support these organizations randomly.\u201cJen Young has been making a big difference in our community for many years, so we wanted to support her and the Pet Connection,\u201d he explained.\u201cAs for Société Alzheimer de l\u2019Estrie, my mother is a really advanced case of Alzheimer\u2019s.It was a no brainer for my father and I to support the cause, because the organization CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 5 The idiom goes: 'It'll be like riding a bike.' If it's been a while, that's an unusual sensation.Wobbly handlebars, strange grunting noises, you're not quite going in the right direction all of the time.You may have body parts that didn't rub together the last time you leaped on and rode off around the neighbourhood, a playing card fastened to the frame with a clothespin, clicking against the spokes.You become acutely perceptive as to the whereabouts of your undergarments.If you are riding a little number that has gear shifts, then you're either spinning your pedals or weighing as heavily as you can against what feels like an anvil.Don't even get me started on the SEAT.As kids, the criteria for seats was: 1) Does it have a seat?Yes?Good.Then you just ride the bike.2) Does it have a seat?No?Okay, so just pedal standing.Kind of lean your weight occasionally against the middle bars.Find a seat when you can.Or change bikes.As adults, bicycle seats may rest in the top ten things that have changed since childhood.(Never mind the taste of Smarties.we know they changed.And that was because they were loaded with dye.) A bicycle seat to an adult backside feels like springs, one pair of socks and aluminium bones stuffed inside an old purse.A leisurely ride through the park with the Muppets it ain't.Every once in a while along comes a bike with a slightly more deluxe seat, and oh, that's a nice feeling.Of all of the things one can adapt to in adulthood, purchasing a comfortable bicycle seat is up there with some of the best investments.My youngest child grew this year.He grew a LOT.He grew a new voice, tremendously long legs, and then when he joined the Massey-Vanier High School swim team, he also grew broad shoulders.Thirteen and just about a half-inch shy of his sixteen-year-old brother's height.The two of them are stretching towards six feet tall.I'm going to guess that my youngest will definitely surpass that mark, and quite possibly his big brother.All of this growth means outgrowing everything.Virtually none of last year's summer accoutrements fit.For two years he's been able to act his age and his shoe size, but I rather hope the shoe size stays at 13, purely from an availability perspective.This year's school shoes - too small, last year's sandals - too small, only a few pairs of shorts and a few t-shirts still fit.A strategic shopping trip has hopefully yielded at least a few more items that will make their way through a second summer, if they're not lost at camp or a friend's house.There hasn't been a 'new' bike in their lives since the tiny Thomas the Tank Engine bicycle of somewhere around the summer of 2008.A few almost new, but used bicycles from friends were purchased at reasonable rates since then.This summer there was no doubt that if bicycling was going to happen, I was going to have to be crafty in finding something within the already constrained summer expenses piggy bank.Then, two weekends ago, I was driving through the neighbourhood when I spotted two rather impressive bicycles leaning up against the fire hydrant at a neighbour's house.A knock on the door was met with silence, but as luck would have it, the neighbour was in the backyard.Was he disposing of them, I queried?If I took them off of his hands, that would suit him just fine, it turned out.I was ecstatic.One bicycle was eased into the back of the minivan, and the other I walked around the corner to home.Wiped down, tires pumped up, a little oil on the chains, seats adjusted, and it looked like they would work! My significant other and I took them for a spin from the Bondville area of Town of Brome Lake, around to Victoria and down the bike trail to the lake itself.Handling it I was a little wobbly.I did- n't grace a straight line right away.Shifting gears was awkward at first.But then the feeling of happiness of riding along, down that shady trail to the water felt glorious.They worked just fine.And the seats were SCHWINNS.Not that it mattered to my thirteen- year-old, presented with this surprise upon his return from their Dad's the following day.He was excited! Other bicycles are just about ready for the rest of us, but until then, for this week my youngest donned a helmet and shot off for the beach, taking the bike trail, while I loaded my eldest, the original Aquaman, into the van and off in another direction, through town.Each evening we met at the beach.Each evening my eldest swam, always out to the same spot, just along the floating barrier line for the safe zone.My youngest and I played Uno at a picnic table and talked.I worried that the work of dragging him off of the computer (something that really is work that is worth it) was going to be trying this summer.I worried that my eldest would be somewhat restless and require more attention.I was right on both counts.But a good old-fash- ioned bicycle, with a very comfy seat, and a body of water that is just a few minutes away have resulted in a few basic efforts required of me, and my work is done.My boys are outside, and moving, happy in the world, connecting with me, and looking forward to this time.Summer parenting is like riding a bike.Awkward, clunky, rarely in a straight line, a pain in the backside, until you get a few things sorted, and then after that, it's a much smoother ride.Ben by Daniel Shelton Page 2 T uesday , July 16, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Weather TODAY: 60% CHANCE OF SHOWERS HIGH OF 28 LOW OF 18 WEDNESDAY: 60% CHANCE OF

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Sherbrooke steps up accessibility CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 \u201cEven just repaving the slope makes a big difference,\u201d he said, pointing out that the previous gravel pathways were full of holes and dangerous to descend in a wheelchair.\u201cI am really happy to see what the city services have put together,\u201d said Sherbrooke Mayor Steve Lussier.\u201cWe want all citizens of Sherbrooke to be able to participate in as many cultural activities as possible.\u201d Lussier was joined by Des Nations Borough President Chantal L\u2019Esperance and Evelyne Beaudin, President of the city\u2019s community and social development committee in hailing the renovations as a positive development while also noting that there is a long way to go before the city can claim universal access for people with physical limitations.\u201cWe are working together to diminish the physical and social barriers handicapped people face to active participation and integration,\u201d L\u2019Esperance said, calling Jacques Cartier Sherbrooke\u2019s \u201cCentral Park\u201d and arguing that as the use of the site grows, so too does the importance of keeping it available to everyone.In addition to the new space, the site will also benefit from a shuttle service during this week\u2019s festival to help people with reduced mobility to navigate the large crowds.Between 8 p.m.and midnight a volunteer will be available at all times to help those who indicate their need to the security agents at the main entrance of the park.Asked about what other improvements the city could stand to make at the park, Lessard pointed out that although there is now a nice accessible space for people to sit, there is no nearby accessible bathroom.\u201cThey have installed a chemical toilet nearby, but it has no light after sunset,\u201d he said, explaining that when he borught the issue to the city, he was told that the park\u2019s bathrooms are to be renovated next year.\u201cThere is a lot of work to be done to give us an accessible city,\u201d he concluded.Gervais, meanwhile, said that while there are definitely places for more work to be done, he wanted to use the day on Monday to celebrate what they have.\u201cWe feel that we are a part of the city,\u201d he said.\u201cWe were heard, and that is really fantastic.\u201d Sherbrooke MP calls for mandatory workplace de?brillators By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke MP Pierre-Luc Dusseault held a press conference on Monday morning to call attention to a Private Member's Bill, C-465, which he introduced in June to call for automated external defibrillators or AEDs to be installed in all Federal Government offices and businesses under Federal jurisdiction.Dusseault credited the idea to local AED advocate Claude Leblanc, who came to him in the months preceding his death to recommend that the machines be installed in government offices.\u201cHe spent the final years of his life talking about the automated external defibrillator,\u201d the Member of Parliament said.\u201cIt is largely thanks to him that we have many installed here in Sherbrooke.\u201d To add weight to his call to amend the labour code, Dusseault has installed an AED in his riding office and put out an appeal to other MPs to do the same.\u201cOften MP\u2019s offices are in busy areas,\u201d he said.\u201cI think it is important that they be places where this kind of device is available.\u201d Dr.Wayne Smith, who worked closely with Leblanc and has been an active advocate for the installation of AEDs and implementation of community CPR training across the region, underlined the importance of getting everyone involved when it comes to saving lives.\u201cThere are far too many young citizens dying from cardiac arrest in situations where, if the right tools had been present, they could have been saved,\u201d Smith said.\u201cIf we can intervene within four minutes, the survival rate is 75 per cent better for people who can be saved.\u201d The doctor shared that recent research has indicated nearly 50 per cent more people could survive across Quebec each year if everyone had CPR training and easy access to a AED.So far, he said, roughly 350 have been installed across the Eastern Townships.\u201cThere is still room for improvement,\u201d he said.Smith also encouraged everyone to download the AED-Quebec App, a mobile tool designed by the Jacques-de Champlain Foundation that allows users to locate the nearest AED, and added that an appeal has also been made to members of Quebec\u2019s National Assembly to install AEDs in their offices as well.Isabelle Painchaud, vice president of the National Film Board section of the General Union of Cinema and Television within the Canadian Union of Public Employees, gave her own impression of the importance of the bill by sharing the story of how she lost a coworker last year.\u201cWe did all we could to save him,\u201d she said.\u201cMy colleague called 911 and the first question they asked was, do you have a defibrillator?\u201d Painchaud explained that the health and safety committee had made numerous attempts to get such a device installed, only to be told by management that it was not necessary.\u201cIt took 15 to 20 minutes for the first responders to arrive, and by then it was too late,\u201d she said, arguing that it shouldn\u2019t be up to businesses to decide whether an AED should be available in the workplace.She instead encouraged people to think of the lifesaving device as a vital component of workplace health and safety, like a fire extinguisher or smoke detector.GORDON LAMBIE Samuel Gendron-L'Heureux of the Academie de secouisme médicale demonstrating the proper use of the AED installed at

solve World War Two Mystery By Taylor McClure Special to The Record In 2016, a Bishop\u2019s University student named Spiro Trent began research on the disappearance of Sherman Peabody, a Bishop\u2019s University student and Canadian pilot who went missing after his plane, with a crew of seven men, was shot down by German forces over France in 1944.He began by looking at Peabody\u2019s life, including his time at Bishop\u2019s before graduating.Two other Bishop\u2019s students, Megan Whitworth and Sean Summerfield, carried on with the project and were eventually able to establish conclusions as to what had happened to Peabody, bringing an end to the Second World War mystery.The Record recently sat down with Whitworth to discuss the Sherman Peabody project and what really happened on the night of July 29th, 1944.The Sherman Peabody project was funded by John and Robert Pett, who were cousins of Peabody\u2019s mother.They grew up listening to the story of what happened to Peabody, but always wondered if what they were told was correct.John and Robert decided to fund a BU research project to get to the bottom of the story.After Trent graduated in 2016, the History department at Bishop\u2019s was looking for someone bilingual to take on the Peabody project from Trent.Whitworth was an intern for the department at the time and she was also bilingual which made her the perfect candidate.She agreed to take over the project and worked with Summerfield to solve Peabody\u2019s disappearance.Whitworth was in charge of the public history aspect of the project.She interviewed those who lived in the nearby villages where the plane crashed in France and those who were on site when it happened.Summerfield was in charge of the military aspect of the project.At the beginning of their project, Whitworth and Summerfield ran into certain difficulties.\u201cAt the beginning, we kept coming to dead ends.There was- n\u2019t a lot of information available.It was very basic information and there were no details.We knew there was something else but we couldn\u2019t find it.\u201d She also explained that when you are interviewing people about the past, it is a sensitive discussion.\u201cWhen you are dealing with people\u2019s memory, it will always be touchy.You have to make sure you don\u2019t put words in people\u2019s mouths and you just let them speak.Then you synthesize with what you have.\u201d The tensions that continue to exist between the owners of the estate nearby where the plane crashed in Pot-de-Vin and the local villagers was another obstacle they had to confront.\u201cSome locals believe that the estate owners were working with the Germans because they had one of the airmen there and the Germans found out about the crash so quickly.\u201d Their research first involved going to the National Archives in Ottawa and in London.They also went through the French military archives in Paris and the national, local, and municipal archives.From their research, they established the conclusion that Peabody most likely died in the crash somehow.However, after holding a conference at the crash site in Pot-de-vin in March 2017, which was a defining moment for Peabody\u2019s case, their conclusions began to change.\u201cWe were expecting five people at the conference but 50 showed up.The locals took on the project as their own and they were an integral part.They were happy we were spotlighting something they thought was forgotten.\u201d She explained that while the archives weren\u2019t incorrect, they were incomplete.\u201cWe filled in the gaps with the information from locals.Their testimonies made our hypothesis shift.\u201d Peabody, along with six other men, were on a bombing mission when they were shot down by Germans on July 29, 1944.They were leaving the United Kingdom to bomb Stuttgart when they were hit by a German night fighter.The plane crashed in Pot-de-vin, near the estate of a family of the area, close to the villages of Saint-Sauveur and Petitmont.With the testimonies they were able to gather and their archival research, Whitworth and Summerfield were able to establish conclusions as to what happened to the seven-man crew.According to the information they gathered, three men died in the crash, their bodies were found on site, and two survived.\u201cOne man was injured and he crawled down to the estate where he was treated by the family.He was lucky that the wife of the owner of the estate was pregnant and about to give birth, so there was a doctor on site.Another man parachuted out of the plane and he survived.He was helped by the French resistance and brought back to London.He came back to Canada and lived out the rest of his days in Vancouver until passing away in November of 2017.\u201d But what ever happened to the bodies of Sherman Peabody and the seventh man named James Doe?After coming across the journal of a German general, the story started to be pieced together.The German general described three- allied airman who were captured and then brought to the Natzweiler-struthof concentration camp in France where they were executed.The description of these allied airmen fit the description of Peabody and Doe.\u201cThe dates and where they were picked up,\u201d Megan explained, \u201calso make sense and fit our general conclusions.\u201d Rations were also found by the owner of the estate and his son about two-three kilometers east of where the plane crashed which provided other clues.\u201cYou learn, as part of your basic military training, that if you land in enemy territory that you bury your rations so that they don\u2019t know that you are there.The rations were found open as if they were eating.We assume they were caught by surprise.\u201d Those pieces of evidence were used to support the claim that Peabody had survived the crash.While nothing is ever certain, Whitworth and Summerfield were able to establish a strong hypothesis as to what happened to Sherman Peabody and provide closure for his family.While the mystery may be solved for the moment, the project is far from over.\u201cI am still involved in the project.It will never truly be finished because there is always something new to research.\u201d When asked how it felt to achieve this major feat, Whitworth replied, \u201cThere were a lot of feelings.We were proud that we could bring closure to the family but it was also bittersweet because we worked on it for so long.We definitely felt accomplished and proud of what we were able achieve.We also want to emphasize how integral the locals were to the project.We couldn\u2019t have done it without them.\u201d If you\u2019re looking to find out more information about the Sherman Peabody project of if you are interested in his story, there is now a documentary titled What ever Happened to Sherman Peabody?It is available for viewing on the Bishop\u2019s University website and the Bishop\u2019s University Youtube page.Whitworth is also in the process of writing a report on the project that she hopes to publish in the near future.Congratulations to our three local Bishop University students Megan Whitworth, Sean Summerfield, and Spiro Trent who strived to make this project a success.BISHOP\u2019S ARCHIVES Sherman Peabody MEGAN WHITWORTH Peices of the plane MEGAN WHITWORTH Where the plane crashed The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com T uesday , July 16, 2019 Page 5 CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 helps support families like ours in these difficult times.\u201d Last year, the festival raised $1,200 for the two causes.\u201cOnce the tents and portable toilets are paid off, everything goes towards the causes.We don\u2019t make any money, and I used 100 per cent of my gear to make it happen,\u201d he explained.\u201cI\u2019m in the music industry so I have all the toys for the musicians to use.They just have to show up and play, everything else is set up for them.\u201d \u201cWe love hosting people and we\u2019ve done it forever.Just this weekend, we held a wedding reception for Samantha Rowsell and Travis Smith, with over 120 people!\u201d he exclaimed.\u201cThe bride and groom even did a half-and-half raffle and gave the half to us in order to help us pay for the amenities and expenses and make money go towards the charities.They met at the old Maysen bar, so they are like our \u2018bar kids.\u2019\u201d Although construction behind Glen- day for the 410 Highway is in full force, Maysenhoelder believes it will not be an issue for this weekend\u2019s festivities.\u201cIt\u2019s true! I can see it all from my backyard, but we will be alright for Fever Fest,\u201d he assured.The organizer highlighted the long- awaited return of Mick Hall from Victoria B.C.to the Eastern Townships as one of the festival\u2019s biggest attractions.\u201cMick was part of High Street Band with his brother, which was particularly popular in the 70s and 80s in Lennoxville.He hasn\u2019t been in Lennoxville in at least 20 years, so I believe anyone over 50 who is from here will be very excited to see him return and perform,\u201d remarked Maysenhoelder.Every day, six bands will perform on the Maysen Manor\u2019s backyard stage.Saturday\u2019s lineup is more rock and roll, with performances from NADZ TNT, Acoustic duo Re-Pete, Nik & Rik, The Help, Queen Street, 19 Stone, and May- senhoelder\u2019s own bamd CMON FM.Sunday\u2019s programme is more eclectic, with jazz, country, and gypsy dancing music.Hellkats, Jazz Trio CCS, Gypsy Soul, Rocky River, The Old School Country Band, CMON FM, and Mick Hall will be performing.\u201cWhat started as an excuse to have a party and play some music really grew over the years,\u201d said Maysenhoelder.\u201cSome bands, like Queen Street and Gypsy Soul, play every year.It\u2019s not advertised on TV or anything, but it\u2019s always great to have hundreds of people, friends of friends, in the backyard for a couple of days.\u201d Everyone is welcome, but Maysen- hoelder and Goodsell strongly discourage bringing plastic water bottles.\u201cWe try to keep it green.We provide water so people just need to bring reusable water jugs,\u201d he mentioned.\u201cWe\u2019ll also provide food.On Saturday, Domino\u2019s Pizza will be supplying our guests with some pizza, and Sunday will be a barbecue catered by Billy Lidstone.It\u2019s all very affordable because we want to raise money for good causes.\u201d Overall, Maysenhoelder hopes to see many familiar faces over the weekend.\u201cIt\u2019s such a fun time.You never know what you\u2019re going to hear or see, especially during jams.You could have a jazz musician team up with a country singer and a rock drummer.Those kinds of mashes make for really impressive stuff,\u201d he concluded.Fever pitch COURTESY OF JOHN MAYSENHOELDER Hundreds of people will gather in Jody Goodsell and John Maysenhoelder\u2019s backyard for the 13th edition of Fever Fest, a music and barbecue festival that helps raise funds for the Pet Connection Lennoxville and Société Alzheimer de l\u2019Estrie.Sherbrooke\u2019s Fête du Lac des Nations begins today By Emilie

Record Staff At around 3 a.m.on Saturday, July 13, officers of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) caught a motorist driving at over 160 km/h on Highway 410.The driver took the exit towards Plateau St-Joseph and lost control of the vehicle, going off the road near one of the store\u2019s parking lots.The 28-year-old Sherbrooke resident was arrested for driving while under the influence.He failed the breathalyzer test with a blood alcohol level double the legal limit.The driver\u2019s license was suspended for 90 days while awaiting legal procedures.He was given a $1,303 fine and saw 14 demerit points added to his record for his excessive speeding.Throughout the weekend, SQ officers also intercepted two motorcyclists on Highway 10 in Sherbrooke.The first rider was caught on Saturday around 5:30 p.m.and the second was stopped on Sunday around 7:30 p.m.The two offenders, drivers aged between 20 and 30, were recorded driving at nearly 170 km/h on the highway, resulting in a $1,378 fine and 14 demerit points.The SQ would like to remind all drivers the speeding is one of the main causes of deathly crashes in Quebec. Record Staff In two weeks, the fifth edition of the 100% Local Challenge will launch across the province inviting citizens to favour local businesses and producers for the month of September.Initiated in the Magdalen Islands in 2015, the project has since spread all the way across Quebec.The project, organized by Quebec's Bio-Food round table groups (TCBQ), hopes to prove that it is possible to do great things when consumers work collectively.Highlighting the specialties of each of Quebec's regions and the proximity of food producers, the 100% Local Challenge invites Quebecers to eat as much local produce as possible during the month of September.Taking place during a time of the year when the province offers an abundance and diversity beyond compare, the challenge is to consume exclusively local products during the entire month.The 100% Local Challenge is coordinated at the provincial level by le Bon goût frais from the Magdalen Islands and Créateurs de saveurs Cantons-de- l\u2019Est will coordinate the various activities that will take place in the Eastern Townships during the month of September.The goal of the project is to celebrate the diversity of Quebec's food supply.The variety ofofferings from the different regions in the province is part of Quebec\u2019s charm and constitutes a significant part of Quebecers\u2019 national food identity.By David Suzuki The rush to exploit and sell fossil fuels as quickly as possible before the reality of climate disruption becomes too great to deny or ignore has generated some Orwellian rationalizations.Somehow a bitumen pipeline has become part of Canada\u2019s plan to tackle the climate crisis.Another fossil fuel, fracked gas, is being touted as a climate solution.It\u2019s twisted logic that exposes a lack of honesty, imagination and courage from many of those we elect to serve us.Pipeline proponents say we need the money to fund the transition to green energy.That\u2019s like saying we have to sell cigarettes to fund lung cancer research.It\u2019s also premised on the idea that \u201cwe can\u2019t get off fossil fuels overnight\u201d \u2014 something I\u2019ve been hearing since I started talking about climate change decades ago, during which we\u2019ve done little to get off them at all.Natural gas, which now almost always means liquefied fracked gas, is being vaunted as a climate remedy because it burns cleaner than coal.In Canada and the U.S., governments are so intoxicated by the dollars that they\u2019re helping industry build as quickly and massively as possible.As research in Canada and the U.S.shows, it\u2019s not a climate solution; it\u2019s another way to keep fossil fuels burning.al gas is mostly methane, a greenhouse gas about 85 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.It\u2019s responsible for about a quarter of atmospheric warming, and emissions are rising.Scientists estimate about 40 per cent is from natural sources, while 60 per cent is human-caused \u2014 from agriculture, landfills, coal seams and oil and gas industry leakage.Even some natural emissions are indirectly caused by human activity.For example, human- caused global heating is causing permafrost to melt, which releases methane.Research by the David Suzuki Foundation and St.Francis Xavier University revealed methane pollution from B.C.\u2019s oil and gas industry is at least 2.5 times higher than reported by industry and government.Studies in Alberta and the U.S.reached similar conclusions.New research from Global Energy Monitor, a U.S.non-governmental organization that tracks fossil fuel development, found even greater problems with the recent fracking frenzy.Its report, The New Gas Boom, found that the 202 LNG terminal projects being developed worldwide \u2014 including 116 export terminals and 86 import terminals \u2014 represent warming impacts \u201cas large or greater than the expansion of coal-fired power plants, posing a direct challenge to Paris climate goals.\u201d Canada and the U.S.account for 74 per cent of these developments.The report also questions the long- term viability of this gas rush, cautioning that many developments could become \u201cstranded assets,\u201d given rapidly falling renewable energy costs.It points out that, because only eight per cent of terminal capacity under development has reached the construction stage, \u201cthere is still time to avoid overbuilding.\u201d Beyond its climate impacts, fracking comes with a range of environmental and health problems, including earthquakes, contaminated water, excessive water use and health issues.A recent review of more than 1,500 scientific studies, government assessments and media reports by the Concerned Health Professionals of New York and Physicians for Social Responsibility concluded that fracking contaminates air and water with chemicals that can cause serious health problems \u2014 especially in children, pregnant women and other vulnerable people, as well as industry workers \u2014 including cancer, asthma and birth defects.Yet, the B.C.and federal governments are going all out to help foreign-owned gas companies.B.C.says total financial incentives for the $40 billion LNG Canada project \u2014 owned by Royal Dutch Shell, Mitsubishi Corp., Malaysian- owned Petronas, PetroChina Co.and Korean Gas Corp.\u2014 are $5.35 billion.The breaks are in the form of sales, income and carbon tax exemptions, rebates and reductions; reduced electricity rates; and generous royalty credits.The federal government is also offering tariff exemptions and infrastructure improvements amounting to more than $1.2 billion.Conserving and using energy more efficiently, rapidly declining renewable energy costs and advances in clean energy, energy storage and power grids make continued climate-altering fossil fuel development unnecessary.But our current economic system demands the kind of massive profits and continued growth that fossil fuel development entails.Change is never easy, but given everything at stake, choosing clean energy over dirty should be obvious.David Suzuki is a

September is buy local month Warm weather, when combined with an increase in leisure time, and what feels like a reduction in the pace of one\u2019s day-to-day life, has a way of lulling us unsuspectingly into a type of lazy, and uncaring trance.This condition is, perhaps, best represented by images of a hound sprawled out across a country stoop\u2014re- pelled by the Sun\u2019s oppressive heat, and relegated to what little shade may be available under an awning or oak tree on a typical rural property where a cool breeze is always welcome, and where ambiance is provided by grasshoppers during the day, and by crickets at night.It\u2019s true that quite a compelling attraction may be required to stir even human activity on such occasions, and under such conditions.Nonetheless, anglers with access to suitable waters reliably find such an attraction in smallmouth bass.Bass\u2014be they striped, spotted, silver, named after an exotic bird (i.e., the peacock bass), large-mouthed, or small- mouthed\u2014are among the most frequently-pursued and adored game fish species.High levels of aggression, a proclivity to attack well-presented lures and flies with reckless abandon, great strength and acrobatic abilities, and a unique and charming aesthetic, are among the many commonalities across the various bass types.The smallmouth bass, which is known for possessing each of the above-mentioned criteria in abundance, is at home in many of the Eastern Townships\u2019 lakes and rivers, and has the majority of its greatest strongholds in the northern United States and Canada.Bass feed on a long list of prey items, the length of which is only limited by what a bass can physically fit into its mouth, and subsequently, digest: aquatic insects, leeches, baitfish, mice, crustaceans, amphibians, and small reptiles are all staples of the bass\u2019 menu.Small- mouth bass, rather conveniently, are also found in the very accessible shoreline areas of lakes, and the most-wade- able sections of rivers.Resultantly, the smallmouth bass is pursued using innumerable techniques and in a multitude of locales.Bass season generally opens in late June, though certain bodies of water afford anglers year-round opportunities.According to changing weather and water conditions, bass behaviour will evolve over the course of a season in ways that can both an aid anglers, and be a cause for their excitement.In the weeks leading up to summer\u2019s peak, rising water temperatures tend to correlate closely with a bass\u2019 willingness to attack more fast-moving and distant prey items, due to the simultaneous and parallel rise of the fish\u2019s metabolism.Above water, this change is mirrored by a progressive change in what tactics are employed by the most attentive and dynamic anglers.During heat waves, i.e., extended periods of above-average temperature, and humidity levels that can only be described as tyrannical, activity levels of smallmouth bass in our area can reach a climax.It is during these periods that we hear references to the proverbial dog days of summer, and some of the most exciting and comfortable angling of the year can be had.Due to the reliable relationship between smallmouth bass activity and water temperature, I sometimes find myself anticipating what would otherwise be a burdensome late July heat wave\u2014 knowing that it will send most people and their pets retreating from the outdoors, while evoking savage reactions to topwater lures and flies by smallmouth bass.Prior to this period, more considerate and unhurried tactics may be used to fool fish.It is useful to categorize bass lures, flies, and angling techniques, by what level of the water column is relevant to each.Bass will feed heavily on creatures such as crawfish and hel- gramites which can be found at the very bottom of a lake or river, and it is in this domain that weighted jigs, heavy lures, nymph patterns, and heavy streamers can be used to their greatest effect.Slightly more active bass can be targeted mid-water column, using lighter lures such as suspending jerkbaits, and more lightly-weighted streamer flies like Lefty\u2019s Deceiver.It is a mistake, in my modest opinion, to target the most active and aggressive of smallmouth bass using anything besides topwater lures and flies, because few things offer the same types of excitement and visual appeal as this particular brand of fishing.The ability to feed with extreme precision and grace in each of the aforementioned realms, and, on a wide variety of living things, is a testament to the bass\u2019 worldliness and an explanation of its high angling prestige.If my bass fishing-based defense of heat waves has been successful, you\u2019ll consider reaching for your rod and a handful of poppers next time you feel summer\u2019s heat wearing on you in the way that it notoriously does.If I have been as persuasive in my advocacy as I hope to have been, you will consider a new aquatic escape from the heat\u2014from paved surfaces turned grill-tops, and aside from the usual pool or swimming hole\u2014and as a result, be given the opportunity to fish for and witness the excitement that surrounds summer smallmouth bass.Local Sports Bass season generally opens in late June, though certain bodies of water afford anglers year-round opportunities.T uesday , July 16, 2019 Page 7 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Jennifer Abel makes Canadian history with silver medal at world championships The Canadian Press Diver Jennifer Abel has set a Canadian record with her ninth career medal at the world aquatics championships.The native of Laval, Que., teamed with Melissa Citrini-Beaulieu of Saint-Con- stant, Que., to win silver in the women's three-metre synchronized event on Monday.Abel, 27, was tied for most medals won by a Canadian with diver Alex Despatie and swimmer Ryan Cochrane heading into the event.China's Wang Han and Shi Tingmao won gold with 342 points, while the Canadians came second with 311.10.Mexico's Paola Spinosa Sanchez and Melany Hernandez Torres took bronze with 294.90 points.It was Canada's second medal of the world aquatics championships after Eric Hedlin of Victoria won bronze in the 5- km open swim on Saturday.Later Monday, Canada's Vincent Rien- deau and Nathan Zsombor-Murray came 11th in the men's 10-metre synchronized diving event.Canada just missed the podium in the women's team highlight artistic swim event on Monday, finishing fourth.The competition runs through July 28.Andrew

Another time, she threw the clothes I had folded of hers all over the room because she didn\u2019t like the way I folded them.The last incident we had was when I posted a picture of my new great-grandson on the internet.She became irate the other day and sent me a text, asking if I realized that she has three children and if I considered them to be my great-grandchildren.I told her we cared for the children and loved to see them.She is still angry with me.She is supposed to come visit soon, though I may not see her.I am the one who has always been there for her.In the past, she would apologize to me and promise not to act that way again.Your advice please.\u2014 A Faithful Reader Dear Faithful: You sound very wise.Your granddaughter\u2019s angry explosions over what seem like trivial matters are stemming from a deeper rage with which she has yet to deal.It sounds like she is a little hot tea kettle waiting to boil over, and you and others get the burn of her explosions.She needs the assistance of a professional therapist to help her process some of her childhood trauma.The fact that you understand this about her will allow you to have compassion and empathy without allowing yourself to be a doormat.By all means, see her when she visits and remind her of how much you love her, which you obviously do.Dear Annie: There are many suburban areas where street parking is uncommon, and parking in front of your neighbor\u2019s house is considered poor manners.Many homeowners\u2019 associations discourage extended street parking, and some prohibit it altogether.One\u2019s guests should park in their host\u2019s driveway or in front of their host\u2019s yard, over?owing in front of the neighbors\u2019 yards only when necessary.There is a family in our neighborhood that has four vehicles, yet the drivers only park two of them in the driveway and garage.There is plenty of room.They have a four-car driveway and a two-car garage.But they park their two older vehicles in front of their neighbor\u2019s yard.That\u2019s just bad manners.\u2014 Not So Neighborly Dear Not So Neighborly: Thank you for pointing out what is good suburban parking etiquette.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
