Day Camp brings together close to 200 local children between the ages of five and 12 for eight weeks of outdoor activity and adventure centered in and around the borough\u2019s Centennial Park.This past week, some residents of streets around the park raised alarm over the treatment of the public space by the camp staff, however, stating that a place that should be clean and safe for others to use was being neglected.\u201cLennoxville Day Camp supervisors are not doing themselves, us citizens or our children any favours by leaving our park in such an unfortunate condition following each day camp for the last four weeks,\u201d wrote Lennoxville resident Cat Hamilton in an open letter to Borough President David Price last Tuesday afternoon.\u201cPlease save the birds from suffering from all of the bags and beads, please save us citizens from slipping in fresh vomit, spilt yogurt and fruit peelings and so forth that lay in the way of our dancing, exercising, picnics and child\u2019s play every week day evening.\u201d Describing herself as health-minded and environmentally concerned, Hamilton shared a concern with Price and several others that the amount of garbage left behind by the camp was making Centennial Park an unpleasant and sometimes dangerous place to be.Given the fact that other groups rent the space outside of camp hours, she said, it is irresponsible for city employees to leave the park in such a state.Price was on vacation last week and was unavailable to respond to Hamilton\u2019s concerns, but Uplands district councillor Linda Boulanger explained that the council receives a report on each week of the camp after it has taken place.Given that timeline, Boulanger said she had not yet heard about any complaints but expressed concern about the idea that the public park was being left a mess.Emilie Durocher is the head of parks and leisure for the borough and oversees the camp\u2019s operations.Asked about the situation she said that she was aware of one official complaint which had been filed regarding the state of the park last week, but said that in that case the mess was a result of an unexpected need to leave the park because of rain.When it rains, Durocher explained, the campers and their leaders are supposed to take shelter in the Amédée-Beaudoin Community Centre behind the borough office.In the case of the complaint, she said, the counsellors prioritized getting the children in their care to shelter as quickly as possible.After the day ended, however, it seems the staff forgot to come back and clean up what had been left behind.\u201cWe will make sure that the day camp will clean up after every day,\u201d Durocher said.\u201cIt is not supposed to happen the way it did, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d Fitting with that statement, Hamilton said she was pleased to see an \u201carmy\u201d of day camp staff out cleaning on Thursday afternoon and expressed a hope that the efforts to keep the public park pleasant for all its users would continue.The Lennoxville Day Camp employs a staff of local students through the city of Sherbrooke\u2019s student employment program.The city reserves the use of Centennial Park for the day camp between 7:30 a.m.and 5:30 p.m.each weekday between the last week of June and the second week of August.Lac-Megantic settlement clears another hurdle The Canadian Press Montreal AU.S.bankruptcy judge has approved plans for creditors in the Lac-Megantic train disaster to begin voting on terms of a $439-million settlement fund.The fund was approved by a Canadian judge last Monday but also needs approval by a U.S.court for settlement cheques to be distributed to the families of the 47 people killed in July 2013.Once the creditor voting in the United States has taken place, a judge is expected to consider on Sept.24 whether to approve the plan.Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway Ltd.(MMA) owned the train that derailed but it didn\u2019t have enough insurance to pay damages to victims and creditors, so it filed for bankruptcy in the United States and Canada.About 25 companies accused in the derailment agreed to pay into a fund to compensate victims, which is tied to the bankruptcy proceedings in both countries.Robert Reach, the court-appointed monitor for MMA\u2019s bankruptcy proceedings in the United States, says he expects the settlement fund to be ac- cepted south of the border.\u201cBoth courts (U.S.and Canada) need to approve the plans,\u201d Reach said in an interview Friday.\u201cThat condition has been satisfied in Canada and the next step is to get the U.S.judge to approve the plan.\u201cI am pretty confident that the creditors will vote for it and pretty confident it will be confirmed.\u201d The approved plan would see just under $200 million go to the government of Quebec and the town of Lac-Megantic for cleanup and other related costs.About $111 million would be distributed to families of the deceased and the remaining mil- lions are reserved for other claims such as psychological and material damages suffered as a result of the train derailment.As much as $21 million is earmarked for lawyers\u2019 fees.Body pulled from Lac

say they are treating the discovery as a suspicious death as the investigation continues.A passer-by contacted police after noticing that something was floating near the shores of Lac des Nations while walking on Esplanade St near De la Glacière St.Emergency teams arrived quickly, however it was soon clear that the man was dead.So far, police have not been able to release the identity of the victim but more details on the circumstances of the death should become available within the next few days.Busy day at border crossings as construction holidays get underway GORDON ALEXANDER f mit*™ 1 _ \u20227\"» ù : A stream of cars, trucks and RVs heads waits on Highway 55 to cross the U.S.border into Vermont on Sunday, the start of Quebec\u2019s annual construction holidays.By Gordon Alexander Stanstead Thousands of Quebecers celebrated the start of the annual construction holidays on Friday and took to the highways south towards the U.S., creating daylong tie-ups at area border crossings, like the one shown here at Stanstead and Derby Line, Vt., where Highway 55 and U.S.Interstate 91 meet.Quebec has had a mandated two-week holiday for construction workers since 1971 and the annual holiday, starting on the second-to-last Sunday of July each year, has become the a popular time for vacations.The recently-dropping value of the Canadian dollar, compared to its American counterpart did not deter many Quebecers from heading south towards beaches and campgrounds in New England, as well as down the Atlantic Seaboard.RECORD Serving the entire Eastern townships with three

are opting to make the most out of small spaces.Rose Marie le Breton and Georges Bates have taken the tiny house idea to the next level, by squeezing 12 artists into it.Once a tourist bureau, the little round house with the red door at 635 Child Street in Coaticook is now a gallery for a dozen members of Coatic\u2019Art, who will man the gallery on rotation every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until September.Co-presidents of the committee for La Petite Maison des Artistes, le Breton and Bates are hoping the little gallery will continue to grow in popularity.\u201cAs artists, it\u2019s not the ideas that are missing,\u201d said le Breton, explaining how the gallery came about.Years ago an attempt was made to turn the city-owned building into a gallery, but the plan fizzled out quickly.\u201cMy God, we should try it again,\u201d le Breton said to Bates.Breathing new life into the idea, le Breton and Bates, both artists, and life partners, put out a call to CoaticArt members, and found 10 artists interested in restarting the gallery.\u201cIt took 20 hours of painting,\u201d le Breton said, to get the gallery up to snuff.\u201cThe theme is red,\u201d she said, pointing to the red door, and the red carpet on the floor in the gallery.Although their styles contrast, le Breton and Bates have been exhibiting together since the nineties, she said.Le Breton works with pens, pencil crayons and acrylics.She studied art at Bathurst College and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.Her work is full of stories and intriguing juxtapositions of characters in seemingly out-of-place landscapes.Bates followed a very different path artistically.His education when he met le Breton, going on 25-years in September, was in administration and physical education.When she saw some of bates\u2019 doodles on paper, she encouraged him to pursue art.\u201cDon\u2019t you think about doing something bigger?\u201d she asked him.Eventually, Bates returned to school and studied art.He now works in a variety of mediums.He also spent years training with a frame builder and a cabinet maker, acquiring skills he can apply to his art.\u201cHe\u2019s more abstract,\u201d said le Breton, pointing out their difference in styles could be what keeps the two artists from butting heads.\u201cUsually artist couples separate after a while because they have a difference of opinion,\u201d she joked.\u201cIt\u2019s all a work in progress,\u201d le Breton said, trying to find ways to attract the eye of passers-by.\u201cPeople think this place is private,\u201d Bates said, adding that he and le Breton do everything they can to invite people to stop by the gallery, waving at cars, cyclists and pedestrians going by.\u201cYou can tell the character of people by how they wave,\u201d le Breton joked, saying some people offer a quick nod while others throw both hands in the air to say hi.Their enthusiasm pays off, le Breton said.One day at the grocery store, she and Bates were approached, \u201chey, aren\u2019t you the ones that were waving from that weird house?\u201d The long term goal for the little gallery is to expand into the adjacent parking lot and include more artists and entertainment for tourists to visit on their way to the gorge and other attractions in town.\u201cThis is a great location,\u201d le Breton said, \u201cwe\u2019re just waiting for 10,000 people to show up,\u201d she added, mentioning the large number of visitors to the gorge for Foresta Lumina.La Petite Maison des Artistes, featuring the work of a dozen Coatic\u2019Art painters, jewlers, and craftspeople, is open for visitors every Friday from 4 p.m.to 8 p.m.and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m.till 8 p.m.Each of the artists showing at the mini-gallery takes a shift

chaperones, leaders and of course, cooks and helpers beginning to arrive Wednesday, the Richmond agriculture society fairgrounds the 4-H Club finally put into action plans for the 40th Provincial Rally into action with a weekend filled with competitions, games and the increasingly popular Farmers\u2019 Olympics.The rally was so much more than just a fun weekend and includes both serious fun and serious competition.\u201cThese kids started making plans and preparing as early as February,\u201d commented senior advisor Maria Enright-Keenan.\u201cYou have to remember, we don\u2019t tell them what to do.They come up with their ideas, plan their projects.We;re only there to guide,\u201d Keenan explained.It doesn\u2019t sound complicated.But when you consider what hosting a three-day event that involves nearly 125 young people between 12 and 25 years of age, prepare to accommodate visitors from several regions of the province, make sure host families are ready, stables are cleaned, each club has planned their decorations in their section (this year the theme was the farm tractor\u2019s importance on the farm and decorations had to reflect this theme), the weekend program included-Showmanship and Breed competitions on Saturday, the Farmers\u2019 Olympics on Thursday evening, the Awards Banquet on Saturday and also provided a serious side with two tractor safety clinics, a judging competition where the young participants must choose what they consider the best of three ex- amples such as three dairy, beef, horses, goats, sheep and perhaps chickens and of course the most important of all, the Inter-breed championship, last but not least on the weekend program.The Richmond 4-H cooking club faced the challenge of preparing and serving supper on Friday and these same young people were then up at first light preparing for the most important day of all, Showmanship and Breed classes beginning right after an early breakfast.Life Skills classes were judged on Friday as well as Public Speaking and winners announced shortly after.Then it was time to dress the animals in the highly secret costume class.The day comes to a close as each club chose three members to take part in the \u201cfitting\u201d competition, an event that calls on the acquired skills these youngsters have mastered that result in the clean, groomed and trimmed animal the spectators will have the pleasure of admiring in the show ring.On Thursday evening, the Farmers\u2019 Olympics go the fun started.This is the only event parents were allowed to take an active role in, thinking up and designing the obstacles each team of 12 will attempt to complete.The Richmond event this year will go down in history as one of the best with large drainage pipes (of course, the soft plastic ones), laced liberally with dish detergent, placed on an incline, called for any fears of tight places be put aside.Climbing a stack of bails over seven feet high, dampened any feelings of independence as younger member clamored, reaching for the outstretched hands of taller kids standing in waiting on the top.Teams of 12, mixing in with locals, certainly formed new friendships as, blindfolded, they manoeuvered a two-wheeled sulky around strategically placed barrels.The pulling team depended entirely on the command of the seated driver whose Gee or Haw, (right or left), tried to kind his eleven team members toward a waiting wheelbarrow at the other end of the arena.There were planks to walk between obstacles, a mock up of a horse\u2019s head and body to harness (harness stored in pieces in a nearby box), puzzle pieces to find in a bin of grain corn, then assembled and each member had to force five soda crackers in their mouth and whistle a tune to complete the entire obstacle course.Friday morning, the serious business began.Each club was up with the early birds, finishing their decorations in their assigned space where this year\u2019s theme, the farm tractor, was front and centre.The fitting competition was also on Friday as a delegated team of three undertook the demanding task of scrubbing a young animal, clipped, trimmed and groomed for the show ring.Anyone thinking this all sounds easy should take the time to watch this procedure at a rally or local fair.Breed conformation, whether a delicate Jersey or a knobby-kneed Holstein, a chubby beef type such as Hereford, Angus, Shorthorn or even a cross-bred all have breed stars.With expert clipping of the \u201ctop-line,\u201d hollows and bumps can be disguised, (the backbone), carefully clipping legs can hide a bit of a curve or add one.Hooves, ears and face must be clean as well -the whole exercise calling on all these young people\u2019s experience do far.Saturday was crunch time.Breed classes, showmanship \u2014 key words that give way to stress and tension.All the preparations are done, the dairy animal exhibitors are dressed in their show-whites, beef type animals have curried and clipped designs etched in the hair on their rump, tails are given a final wash and brushing and these over one hundred young people line up to take part in their age categories.Last on the program was the Overall Championship, the class hen all the champions from each category.This rally had dairy and beef calves, horses, goats, sheep, rabbits and chickens.Every champion must take a turn at proving they are able to show every type of animal, judges mark them based on 100 points and final tally cerowns the Overall Champion, a title youngsters begin dreaming about as soon as they join their local 4-H club.During Saturday\u2019s competitions, points were awarded to clubs and individuals in the competitive events and as a young person nears the age limit to compete in showmanship classes where the person exhibiting a young animal is judged on handling, control, personality, turn-out and the show ring protocol, the event takes on a serious atmosphere, proving today\u2019s young future farmers take their choice of career, either agriculture production or related options, very seriously.\u201cWe have traditionally received amazing support from the surrounding communities and commerces.Feed companies, local restaurants and especially from parents and their friends as well.There\u2019s no doubt we could never plan and carry-out such a program of

The Associated Press Montpelier, Vt.A former Vermont transportation secretary is coming out of retirement to help plan resumption of passenger train service between the northeastern United States and Montreal.Brian Searles, who retired as transportation secretary in December, is returning to state service part-time to deal with the U.S.and Canadian governments on plans to restore Am-tralc service on the northern end of a route that last operated in 1994.U.S.federal budget cuts that year halted service north of St.Albans, Vermont, and a train that had been called the Montrealer was renamed the Vermonter.Transportation officials say tentative plans are for a joint U.S.-Canadian facility to be built at the Central Station in Montreal \u2014 where both north- and southbound passengers will clear customs.No target date for completion has been given.\u201cThis has been a goal of the state to get back into Montreal since the mid-1990s,\u201d Searles said.But new hurdles were set up after the 9-11 terrorist attacks, which prompted a tightening of security at international borders.The train, whose southern terminus is Washington, D.C., also serves Connecticut, western Massachusetts, the Connecticut River valley of Vermont and New Hampshire.Its northbound route turns northwest across Vermont at White River Junction.Searles said states along the route subsidize the train, adding that it\u2019s hoped Massachusetts and Connecticut will increase their subsidies when the route is reopened to Montreal.He said that adding a metropolis of four million people as the final destination

it doesn\u2019t, as all statistics have their limits.However, at the heart of creating a fair and equitable society is the understanding it of where things are lacking.This report, despite any limitations, serves as an interesting reminder of where we can look to improve.-\t«THEw -

Added to this is the issue of noise pollution, whose effect can be quite stressful.Most of these boats are equipped with sophisticated sound systems with speakers attached to the superstructure of the boat loud enough to be heard well above even above the noise of the motor and of the waves crashing along the shore.We realize that on a lake as large and populated as Memphremagog, there are bound to be competing priorities.As a first step, then, we would ask the Austin Council to request that more buoys be placed along the western shore of the bay to mark the \u201cnowake\u201d zone, in the hope that this will at least begin curbing the damage underway.If the popularity of wakeboarding continues to grow, more drastic responses should be considered.Some scientific studies claim that wake-boarding as far out as 200 metres of the shoreline can still be a serious environmental problem.In that case, we might ah ask whether an enclosed, narrow watercourse such as Sargent\u2019s Bay can support such aharm-ful activity at ah.The members of the Penfield Nature Reserve urge you and your council to establish an immediate action plan for dealing with this significant issue.Many other local residents would surely welcome such an effort with equal enthusiasm.Kate & Roger Williams Sutton The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, July 20, 2015 Page 7 \t\t\t \tL/OC 2015 DODGE

making at home of golf: Amateur shares lead, Jordan Spieth 1 shot behind AP PHOTO/JON SUPER Ireland\u2019s Paul Dunne lines up a putt during the third round of the British Open Golf Championship at the Old Course, St.Andrews, Scotland, Sunday, July 19, 2015.By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press St.Andrews, Scotland For a place dripping with centuries of history, St.Andrews got more than it could have wanted Sunday.Jordan Spieth punched his golf bag in frustration after a careless bogey, perhaps sensing the British Open was slipping away.Just like that, and because this is what Spieth does in big moments, he salvaged his bid for a Grand Slam.He made three straight birdies.He took 10 putts on the inward nine.And when he walked off the 18th green, he had a 6-under 66 and was one shot behind with one round left.\u201cI\u2019m going to play to win,\u201d Spieth said.\u201cI\u2019m not playing for a place.I don\u2019t want to place third tomorrow.I want to win.\u201d But if there is history in the making at the home of golf, it no longer has to come from just Spieth.Fans who filled the two-story grandstand and watched from the tops of buildings on Golf Place witnessed a moment not seen at St.Andrews in 88 years \u2014 an amateur in the lead going into the final round of the British Open.Paul Dunne, the 22-year-old from Ireland, rolled in putts like this was the prestigious St.Andrews Links Trophy for amateurs instead of the oldest championship in golf.He played bogey-free for a 66 and shared the lead with former Open champion Louis Oost-huizen and Jason Day.Bobby Jones is the last ama- teur to win the British Open in 1930 when he came from one shot behind in the final round.He was the last amateur to lead after 54 holes three years earlier at St.Andrews, and he won the claret jug that year, too.Can it happen again?\u201cIt\u2019s surreal I\u2019m leading the Open, but I can easily believe that I shot the three scores that I shot,\u201d Dunne said.\u201cIf we were playing an amateur event here, I wouldn\u2019t be too surprised by the scores I shot.It\u2019s just lucky that it happens to be in the biggest event in the world.\u201cHopefully, I can do it again tomorrow,\u201d he said.\u201cBut whether I do or not, I\u2019ll survive either way.\u201d The way the weather-delayed Open ended on Sunday, expect just about anything.Oosthuizen, the last player to lift the claret jug at St.Andrews in 2010 and a runner-up at the U.S.Open last month, birdied three of his last five holes for a 67.Day is just as big of a threat.He shot 67 and shared the lead for the second straight major, and he has challenged in four of them since 2011.They were at 12-under 214, one shot ahead of Spieth with plenty of others that cannot be dismissed Fourteen players were separated by three shots.Half of them were major champions, and there was yet another amateur among them \u2014 21-year-old Jordan Niebrugge of Oklahoma State.Such an opportunity might not come around again for Spieth.Only three other players won the first two legs of the Grand Slam since the modern version began in 1960.Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods only got one shot at it, and none ever started the final round of the British Open so close to the lead.And so it was Spieth, a 21-year-old Texan with an uncanny sense of occasion, who brought the grey, old town to life in a mixture of sunshine and rain.He rolled in birdie putts on the 10th, 11th and 12th holes to share the lead.He saved par from the high grass on the 13th, stuffed his approach to 4 feet for birdie on the 15th and made another tough par save on the Road Hole at the 17th.A victory would send him to the PGA Championship with a shot at the Grand Slam, and at worse put him in elite company.Ben Hogan in 1953 is the only other player to capture the Masters, U.S.Open and British Open in the same year.\u201cOnly one person has ever done it before.That opportunity very rarely comes around,\u201d Spieth said.\u201cAnd I\u2019d like to have a chance to do something nobody has ever done.To be able to go into the last major and accomplish something that\u2019s never been done in our sport is something that only comes around to a couple people ever.And I\u2019d like to be one of those people to have that happen.\u201d Canada\u2019s Graham Delaet of Weyburn, Sask., had his best round so far at the British Open.He had five birdies to finish at 4-under 68.He\u2019ll enter the fourth round tied for 45th at 4-under.Rarely has the Old Course been as easy as it was Sunday.One day after raging wind off the Eden Estuary caused a 10-hour delay and forced a Monday finish, the flags were soaked from passing showers and limp from no wind.The leaderboards were loaded with birdies, and seven players had at least a share of the lead at some point in the third round.That\u2019s what made Dustin Johnson\u2019s collapse so shocking.With a one-shot lead after powering his way around St.Andrews for 36 holes, he was the last player in the field to make a birdie Sunday, and that wasn\u2019t until the 15th hole.He followed with three straight bogeys for a 75 to fall five shots be- hind.Spieth, the youngest professional in the field, seemed calm despite the historic moment in front of him.His goal at the start of the week was to treat the British Open like any other tournament he was trying to win.Even during the long delay on Saturday, he said he hasn\u2019t thought much about the slam.There is no escaping it now, and Spieth doesn\u2019t see that as a problem.\u201cIf I have a chance coming down the stretch, if it creeps in, I\u2019ll embrace it,\u201d he said.\u201cI\u2019ll embrace the opportunity that presents itself.As far as handling it, I don\u2019t look at it as a negative thing.I look at it almost as an advantage.Why should it add more pressure in a negative way?\u201d Kyle Busch wins at New Hampshire, move closer to Chase AP PHOTO/JIM COLE r -f®' |h| 5IÉK * 24 \u201ci Kyle Busch burns out after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Sunday in Loudon, N.H.By Dan Gelston The Associated Press Loudon, N.H.Kyle Busch continues to find victory lane and is moving closer to landing a spot in the Chase.Busch\u2019s dominant comeback rolled on Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway when he won for the second straight weekend and for the third time in the last four NASCAR Sprint Cup races.He broke his right leg and left foot in a crash the day before the season-opening Daytona 500.He missed the first 11 races of the season, then returned in late May determined to earn a berth in NASCAR\u2019s championship playoffs.Busch needs only to finish in the top 30 in the regular-season standings to earn a spot in the 16-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup field.Busch won races at Sonoma Raceway and last week at Kentucky Speedway and is 33rd in the standings, 58 points behind David Gilliland for 30th.Brad Keselowski was second, followed by Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr.Busch said Friday he still is bothered by the leg injuries.They hardly seemed to matter in the No.18 Toyota.\u201cWe\u2019ve got to keep doing our deal,\u201d Busch said.\u201cEvery week it keeps getting better and better.\u201d Busch has gained 70 points on the 30th spot over the last two races and is not only a threat to qualify for the Chase \u2014 but to win it all for Joe Gibbs Racing should he crack the field.\u201cEver since that injury, he\u2019s been on it,\u201d Gibbs said.\u201cI don\u2019t know what (the deficit is) now but it\u2019s sure helping.\u201d He still must rank inside the top-30 in points to make the Chase.He has seven races left to crack the top 30 before the Chase opens Sept.20 at Chicagoland Speedway.Busch was joined by son Brexton, born in late May, in victory lane wearing a No.18 outfit.Busch had one of his best performances in his comeback, rallying from a lap down to win.Busch, who led 95 laps, stayed out during a late pit stop to take the lead from contenders Keselowski and Matt Kenseth.Crew chief Adam Stevens, in his first season calling the shots for Busch, made all the right choices to keep Busch in contention for the win.He also made it 12 different winners at the last 12 New Hampshire races, the longest active streak at any track without a multiple-race winner in NASCAR.

Page 12 Monday, July 20, 2015 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record My wife says I am overreacting, think I should be uncomfortable in but I don\u2019t my own yard MONDAY, JULY 20, 2015 Dear Annie: My wife and I are lucky to live near the friendliest, most helpful neighbors we could ask for.They are a middle-aged European couple who moved to the States two years ago.Here\u2019s the problem.They have a swimming pool in their backyard, and when they use it, they do not wear swimsuits.I assume they are just doing what is normal in their native country.When I am outside, I simply try to look the other way and ignore them.However, when they see me or my wife, they almost always call out to say hello and start a conversation.My wife is not bothered by it, and will go over and talk with them.However, I\u2019m not so comfortable.Generally, I wave and go back into the house until they are out of the pool.My wife says I am overreacting, but I don\u2019t think I should be uncomfortable in my own yard.She does not want to put up a fence, as she thinks it would be unsightly and unwelcoming.Can you help?\u2014 Neighbors of Lord and Lady Godiva Dear Neighbors: You cannot stop the folks next door from sunbathing nude unless there are restrictions in your town.You also should not be reluctant to use your own yard when the neighbors are out.The solution truly is a fence or perhaps shrubbery that would allow each of you to have more privacy.There is nothing unwelcoming or unsightly about nice bushes, plants or flowers.Unless, of course, your wife likes to look more than she is willing to admit.Dear Annie: Why do some people insist on arriving late for family dinners?My husband and I are great-grandparents with the only home large enough to host the entire family.We wake up early enough to set up and cook, and I set the time that seems most convenient for our family members.When there is a football game in the evening, I set the dinner for noon.When there is early morning rain, I set the time for late afternoon.When asked if we can set a specific hour, I always agree.On Memorial Day, I told everyone to be here at 1 p.m.Ten people were here waiting, and the last two came in 45 minutes later.We didn\u2019t sit down to eat until after 2.This is awkward for everyone, but especially for young children who are hungry, seniors who haven\u2019t eaten since early morning, and one family member who is diabetic and needs to time her insulin.Why is it no longer polite to be punctual?\u2014 Late Arrivals Dear Late: It is still polite to be punctual, but some folks are simply inconsiderate.If there is only one couple that does this regularly, feel free to tell them that the festivities start an hour earlier than you tell everyone else.Otherwise, here\u2019s how it works for chronically late family members: Set the time, and when that time arrives, sit down and start eating.Those who show up late can be told to find leftovers in the kitchen or join you for dessert.They will either accommodate themselves or make a greater effort to show up on time at the next family event.Either way, the rest of you should not be held hostage waiting for them.Dear Annie: My husband and I are successful profes- Annie\u2019s Mailbox sionals with no children.Our mothers are both well off and have been generous to our siblings, who, for various reasons, have needed a lot of help.My husband and I tender free professional and some financial assistance to both sides of our families.My mother-in-law takes opportunities to show her appreciation by paying for meals or offering to reimburse costs.She is a delight, and we see her often.My mother, however, is the opposite \u2014 always a guest, never offering to reimburse costs or pay a share.She has even invited us and others to events and then stuck us with the bill.My husband does not complain, but I am ashamed of her stinginess.Subconsciously, we do not seek out my mother, and our visits are becoming rare.Both mothers are up in years, and I do not expect any changes.Writing to you is therapeutic, although if you have any suggestions, I\u2019d be happy to hear them.\u2014 Anonymous Dear Anonymous: One of the things our column does best is allow people to vent.Our only suggestion is to accept your mother as she is.In some families, it would be unthinkable for a senior parent to reimburse financially successful children.(Of course, too often, the reverse is true.) Your mother may not realize that these are your expectations, so it doesn\u2019t occur to her that you would be anything less than generous.You don\u2019t have to admire this part of her character, but she is still your mother, and she isn\u2019t getting any younger.Please make a conscious effort to be with her when all you are spending is your time.You\u2019ll be less resentful, and in years to come, you\u2019ll be glad you had these moments together.Dear Annie: I have read the letters in your column about mothers-in-law and would like to add my two cents about boundaries.My MIL liked me while her son and I were dating.When we became engaged, she wanted control.She made changes to our wedding plans right up to the ceremony, even though my folks were paying for it.When I was pregnant, she grabbed my arm and hissed, \u201cI will NOT be a grandma!\u201d At the baby shower, she informed the whole family that if it was a girl, it isn\u2019t her grandchild, because her boys don\u2019t make girls.I laughed.She was serious.We had a beautiful girl who looks just like my husband.Over the years, I tried to be kind, but when she started taking her hatefulness out on our children, we set up big boundaries.Our children have grown up barely knowing this set of grandparents, but have been fortunate to have others be role models.One thing I have learned is that I will not be that mother-in-law.Moms, please raise your kids to be loving and caring adults.Just because you aren\u2019t happy, doesn\u2019t mean you need to make them miserable.Now that my mother-in-law is older and failing, my husband visits, and she still tries the guilt trips.She even offered to pay for a divorce.He thanks God for our family and our marriage.\u2014 Lisa Dear Lisa: We don\u2019t know what motivates some parents to require so much control that they push their children away.Nor can they understand how to undo the damage their behavior is causing, partly because they cannot admit they are at fault.Dear Annie: Why is it that I know six women who are divorcing their husbands?Why are there so many middle-aged men newly divorced?Why does it take a divorce to wake guys up?I\u2019m 47 and have been married to my husband for almost 25 years.He is a good dad.He can fix almost anything.But the older he gets the more he is happy to sit on the couch and let life go by while I take care of everything.I\u2019m tired of it.Romance is zero.Women like some romance before sex.When I exaggerate my feelings about this, he will question me, but won\u2019t reciprocate.It\u2019s so hard to carry the burden of this relationship alone.What does this teach our children about the role of a husband?\u2014 Feeling Unappreciated and Unloved Dear Feeling: We\u2019re not sure what you mean by \u201cexaggerate your feelings.\u201d Do you actually point-blank tell him what you want?If not, he doesn\u2019t seem likely to catch on, no matter how blatant the hint.Here\u2019s a different question: Why do so many women wait until they are fed up, exhausted and ready to divorce rather than attempt counseling so they can communicate more clearly with their husbands?We absolutely agree that some men are obtuse, not to mention lazy about maintaining their relationships.But too many women hint around and expect guys to understand what they need, and then grow more and more frustrated and angry.Of course, you shouldn\u2019t have to do all the heavy lifting in your marriage.But until you say those words to your husband and tell him exactly what you need to keep the marriage strong, he won\u2019t know, and he certainly won\u2019t do anything about it.And you\u2019ll need to repeat it more than once.But it seems a shame to throw away 25 years of what we assume is otherwise a decent marriage before seeing what can be fixed.Dear Annie: I disagree with your answer to \u201cFeeling Stalked in the Midwest,\u201d the 75-year-old man who\u2019s the victim of unwanted gestures from a lady in her late 80s who lives in his retirement residence.The main issue here is respect of boundaries, and on this issue, the woman is a violator.The fact that she is old and lonely does not give her license to touch whoever she wants, especially when he has told her not to.She doesn\u2019t deserve to be let off the hook.What she is doing is sexual battery, and if she doesn\u2019t stop, he should call the police.\u2014 Been There, Know the Type Dear Been There: We were surprised at the number of readers who want this 80-something woman arrested, when it is clear to us that she doesn\u2019t have the full use of her faculties.She believes she is flirting.She is inappropriate, but not harmful.He is embarrassed by her, not afraid of her.Her family and, if necessary, the staff of the residence should be informed, and he should do what he can to avoid her.But we don\u2019t believe hauling her off to jail would teach her anything.She would only be confused.Seriously, folks, get a grip.Annie\u2019s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@cre-ators.com, or write to:

North\u2019s double was responsive, stating that he had the values to compete to at least the four-level but did not wish to name the trump suit.Typically, he would have held at least 4-4 in the minors.South, with a balanced hand and two fast spade losers, settled for four clubs.(Yes, he might have passed.Here, three spades doubled would have gone North\t07-20-15 4 6 3 V\tA 6 2 ?\tK Q 9 5 ?\tJ 10 9 8 East 4 A K 10 5 2 V J 9 8 5 ?\t3 ?\tA 7 4 South 4 7 4 V\tK Q 7 ?\tA J 10 8 ?\tK Q 6 3 Dealer: East Vulnerable: North-South South\tWest\tNorth\tEast 14 Dbl.\t34\tDbl.\tPass 4«£\tPass\tPass\tPass \tOpening lead: 4 Q\t\t down one.) East can see three defensive tricks: two spades and the club ace.Where is trick four?How about a diamond ruff?But if East plays a discouraging spade two at trick one, West is likely to shift to a heart.Instead, East should overtake the spade queen with his king and shift to his diamond.Then, when he gets in with the club ace, he leads a low spade to his partner and receives the diamond ruff to defeat the contract.West 4 Q J 9 8 y 10 4 3 ?\t7 6 4 2 ?\t52 CROSSWORD Across I\tCager Shaquille 6 Port in southeastern Iraq II\tButcher\u2019s trimmings 14\tActor Gabriel or singer David 15\t\u201cFamily Matters\u201d misfit 16\tSci-fi aircraft 17\tDecision of a courtroom dozen 19\tHalf an evasive route 20\tNoisy pig 21\tPoet Pound 22\tBusiness partnership 27\t\u201cSnowy\u201d birds 28\tFuse with an alloy 32\tGreek Cupid 33\tLetter between rho and tau 36\tChicken__king 37\tFled the scene 38\tSchool\u2019s underclass team .or, ini- tially, what the four longest answers in this puzzle comprise 40\tTennis division 41\tTokyo, once 42\tItty-bitty 43\tDonated 44\tHereditary ruler 46 Made amends 48\tWords on Monopoly\u2019s Jail square 52 Head over heels (over) 55\tBronx baseballer 56\tMimic 57\tVital blood vessel 62\tBuddhist sect 63\tSupreme Court justice Kagan 64\tPass on, as a message 65\tLumberjack\u2019s tool 66\tLike toads 67\tJapanese cartoon art Down 1\tNoun after a vb\u201e generally 2\tBig Apple sch.3\tMake a mistake 4\t\u201cIt\u2019s still_game\u201d 5\t\u201cInception\u201d actor Joseph Gordon-__ 6\tActress Delta 7\tShakespearean forest 8\tBlouse go-with 9\tCamcorder button 10\tPC key 11\tPeach__ 12\tMiles off 13\t\u201cJulius Caesar\u201d costume 18\tHolders of ltrs.or bills 21\tLong-bodied swimmer 22\tRazzed 23\tSweet Rosie of song 24\tApplied with heat, as patches 25\tWest Point letters 26\tWillie Nelson\u2019s \u201cOn the__Again 29\tAquafina rival 30\tLate news hour 31\tKid-friendly, TV-wise 33\tGovt.-issued ID 34\tMens a stats 35\tFella 38\tBach\u2019s \u201c_, Joy of Man\u2019s Desiring\u2019 39\tNovember honorées 43 Settled a score 45\t1977 Steely Dan album 46\t\u201c_silly question .\u201c 47\t__del Fuego 49\tBlake\u2019s \u201cburning bright\u201d big cat 50\tBrag 51\tDecorative woodwork 52\tDisputed Mideast strip 53\tPeak 54\tHeredity unit 57\tYom Kippur observer 58\tSuffix with form 59\tQuarterback Manning 60\t\u201c_the Walrus\u201d 61\t\u201cScience Guy\u201d Bill p\tO\tR\tT\t1\tS\tc\tR\tE\tW\t1\tW\t0\tR\tM A\tV\tE\t°\t\t°\tL\t1\tV\tE\t\tA\tR\t1\tA S\tu\tM\t°\t\tY\tO\tD\tE\tL\t\tD\t1\tS\tC A\tM\t1\tB\tE\tA\ttI\t\tLs\tL\tE\tD\tG\tE\tS \t\tN\t1\tX\t\t\t\t\t\tA\tL\t1\t\t G\tA\tD\tG\tE\tT\tsi\t\tr\tE\tV\tE\tN\tT\tY 1\tV\tS\t¦\t£\tA\tp\tS\tu\tL\t\t¦\tA\tR\tE L\tO\t0\t\t¦\t\tL\tA\tc\t\t¦\tF\t\tO\tW A\tW\tF\tU\tV\t¦\tE\tS\tc\t¦\trw\tA\tS\tP\tS \t\t\tN\t1\tN\tE\tH\t0\tL\tE\tS\t\t\t L\tO\tC\tK\ts\tO\tn|\t\tIr\tE\tV\tE\tR\tT\ts A\tB\tO\tR\tT\tS\t\t\t\tS\tE\tC\tU\tR\tE D\tE\tV\t°\t1\tH\tA\tB\t1\tT\t1\tA\tP\tA\tT E\tL\tE\tC\t\t°\tH\tA\tR\tE\t\tM\tE\tN\tU S\t1\tN\t\t\tw\tA\tT\tE\tÜI\t\tw\tE\tE\tP Page 16 Monday, July 20, 2015 newsroom@sherbrooker ecor d.com The Record ASK THE EXPERTS.ASK THE EXPERTS.ASK THE EXPERTS.ASK THE EXPERTS.ASK THE EXPERTS.ASK THE EXPERTS.OPTOMETRISTS Clinique LRÉSEAU Optométrique Dr.Meggie Faust - Dr.Alain Côté, Optometrists 160 Queen Street, Sherbrooke 819-563-2333 INVESTMENTS Tim Goddard \u201cCoaching Solid Pension Strategies for our Clients\u201d We focus on the decisions you require in accumulating wealth to transition smoothly through life\u2019s stages with the peace of mind you deserve.GLOBAL MAXFIN INVESTMENTS INC.151 Queen Street SHERBROOKE 819-569-5666 ASK THE EXPERTS BUSINESS DIRECTORY \u2022\tOPTOMETRISTS \u2022\tINVESTMENTS \u2022\tORGANIZING SERVICE \u2022\tADVERTISING \u2022\tNOTARY \u2022\tTREE SERVICE \u2022\tREAL ESTATE \u2022\tPROFESSIONAL PAINTING NOTARY Lamoureux Leonard sencrl Notaries & Solicitors litre Timothy Leonard \u2022 Trust Wills \u2022 Mandates \u2022 Corporate Law \u2022 Estate Settlement \u2022 Protection of Assets 520 Bowen St.S., Sherbrooke (next to Hôtel-Dieu Hospital) 563-0500 PP0RT C0MM1 LOCALIT REAL ESTATE It takes you to start the trend!
