[" Lennoxville video store closing Page 3 THE RECORD The voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Galt students aim to help out in Malawi Page 5 75 CENTS + TAXES PM#0040007682 Monday, December 14, 2015 Cheques in the mail for Megantic victims By the Canadian Press Portland , MA A settlement fund for victims of the Canadian oil train disaster that killed 47 people remains on track, and payments to settle wrongful death claims will be delivered next month, a U.S.bankruptcy trustee said.With all approvals in place, settlement fund participants are wiring payments in a process that will be completed by Dec.21, said Robert Reach, the court-appointed bankruptcy trustee in Portland.From there, the money will be transferred to a Canadian monitor and a trustee for wrongful death claims, Reach said.The settlement fund is worth $457 million in Canadian dollars.About $113 million of it will go to settle wrongful death claims, and the wrongful death trustee will begin distributing those checks by the end of January, Reach said.\u201cNo amount of money is ever going to make up for what happened.But within the limits of the civil system, all you can do is provide compensation, and we were able to do that,\" he said.A runaway train with 72 oil tankers derailed on July 6, 2013, in Lac Megantic, Quebec, killing 47 people and causing raging fires that wiped out much of the downtown.The train's operator, Maine-based Montreal, Maine & Atlantic, filed for bankruptcy, and the settlement fund is part of those bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S.and Canada.While it may seem that the process has dragged on, the bankruptcy case was resolved quickly considering the legal complexities and the fact that parties are located on both sides of the border.Santa Visits Lennoxville Lack of the white stuff didn\u2019t dampen the mood I \u2022SO\" j\t55-\tj AYfcHB 1.:\t Sr !\tmm : 1 1 .'}\tfidVol \t GORDON LAMBIE Santa pulled in Lennoxville's Commumity Centre Sunday afternoon to viist with firefighters and local children young and old By Gordon Lambie Sherbrooke With Christmas now less than two weeks away, Santa Claus continues to make time in his no-doubt hectic pre-holiday schedule to show up all over Sherbrooke.Yesterday Old Saint Nick stopped by for his annual visit to the Amédée-Beaudoin Community Centre in Lennoxville.At the invitation of the Lennoxville Volunteer Firefighters, Santa sat down with children of all ages and handed out a little holiday cheer in an atmosphere of fun and friendship for the whole family.Activities planned in connection with Santa\u2019s visit took place at the community centre between 1 and 4pm on Sunday, although the man of the hour only made an appearance at 1:30.While families waited to see the guest of honour, community volunteers animated a colouring table, Christmas crafts, and a board game table.A balloon artist and face painter were also on site to help make sure kids caught on to the festive spirit, and outside a horse-drawn wagon took visitors up and down the riverside trail.The members of the Volunteer Firefighters\u2019 Association were also on hand to give out tasty treats and warm apple cider to those who stopped by.While everyone agreed that Santa\u2019s Visit has been a Lennoxville tradition for a great many years, there was some disagreement as to just how long the jolly old elf has been stopping by.Terry Beattie said that the volunteer firefighters have been helping to bring Santa to town for over thirty years but Borough President David Price shared that, to the best of his knowledge, Lennoxville\u2019s link to the North pole goes back well over a century.Regardless of how long it has been happening and how it has changed over the years, however, the community tradition consistently proves to be an annual delight for families in the community and the surrounding area who come out to participate.RECORD 2016 Calendars now available!

My favourite D.C.landmark: The Jefferson Memorial BRIAN MACIVER By Brian Maclver Special to The Record Washington, D.C.While it hurts me to say it, I have no other choice but to do so: this is my last envoy to The Record.Yes, dear readers, my time studying abroad has finally ended.I am now officially a Master of Journalism from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.As a result, I am forced to do something that I never thought I\u2019d have to do: be an autonomous, dutiful, upstanding, labouring, and taxpaying person (what I call an \u201cADULT\u201d person, for short.) The first order for every ADULT person is get Just Over Broke employment (a \u201cJOB\u201d).And while I\u2019ve been saying for years that I want to be a sports writer, it seems that I may be getting my start covering politics in the District of Columbia.Yes, of all the Dumpster jobs in this Dumpster field, I seem to be heading straight for the swamp, and to be quite honest, I\u2019m more than okay with it.My time in Washington has really opened my mind to the intricacies of covering something other than sports.Learning to cover something other than what I\u2019ve done for the past eight years has been a great experience and I look forward to learning more.But if that falls through I\u2019m definitely going to try to get a job in sports media.The second order of business is to work on acquiring a Housing Operations Management Enterprise (a \u201cHOME\u201d).This step comes second because it is fairly foolish to go JOB hunting in a place where there are no JOBs.Once I start hearing back from people offering these JOBs, then I can settle down and start searching for HOMES.Preferably somewhere safe and near the office/newsroom.And the third order is to start paying off my student loans.(No funny acronym for this one.It\u2019s way too serious to be joked about).Through good fortune and working nearly 40 hours per week during my days at Bishop\u2019s University, I managed to not rack up any debt right through undergrad.One year in the United States of America has changed that.I am now in debt by multiple years\u2019 worth of salary.Like I said, no joke.So I guess it\u2019s official enough: I\u2019m an ADULT.Just kidding! I\u2019m not ready for this at all.But I guess that\u2019s the thing about being an adult: you got to fake it \u2018til you make it.I guess you\u2019re still right, Gab.Thank You I know I\u2019ve done this before earlier in the year, but I have to do it again: thank you.The first thanks goes out to my friends back home.Without your support (in whatever form that took), it\u2019s safe to say that this year would have been a lot harder than it already was.So thank you for the late-night video game sessions, the middle of the day phone calls, and the truly disturbing and off-putting insults that were uttered.Thank you Gordita for your ever-funny emails and taking my calls even when you\u2019re busy running around your new playground.Even though I didn\u2019t always have the time to immediately reply, they were always read and appreciated.Thank you to my grandmothers.It was always great to hear how proud and happy you were for me even though you were both scared for my safety.Thank you to my brothers and my sister-in-law.David, our hour-long conversations were great for me every time (wink-wink).Michael and Ana, hearing from you was one of the few luxuries that I actually could afford.Another thanks must go out to The Record and you, the readers.The fact that no one complained that a 23-year-old took up most of the second page of the paper every other Monday should be considered a minor miracle.But the fact that people actually enjoyed it and looked forward to reading my rants and rambles is unconscionable to me.So thank you for allowing me to give you all updates on my life and liking it.But the most important thank you belongs to my wonderfully incredible parents.Whether it was taking my calls every single day, talking me out of doing something rash after getting into a spat with an editor, or doing literally everything they can to make sure that I was able to live comfortably in my time away, they are truly the reason that I was able to chase this crazy dream of mine.There is no way that I will ever be able to repay you for everything you\u2019ve done for me, but that\u2019s not going to stop me from trying.Mom.Dad.We did it.It\u2019s over.Ben by Daniel Shelton P Tie vvMy YOU'VE EEEN Singing that 50NG OVER ANP OVER AIT MORNING/ CAN'T YOU SING SOME Thing else/ or better YET 0E QUIET ?-r The Record newsr oom@sherbrooker ecor d.com Monday, December 14, 2015 Page 3 \t\t LOCAL NEWS\t\t\u201cIf you are going to party with friends, don't drink and drive.Because you can\u2019t always predict the actions of others, use caution when driving and always buckle up.\u201d Holiday Wishes from the Mansonville Chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) MABLE HASTINGS The 2015-16 Mansonville SADD Chapter is made up of: Alexandria Charby, Sahara Jacob, Alex Cardinal, Cassidy Chapman, Natasha Charby, Alex Tidier, Yanni Barnett (all appearing in photo, left to right) as well as Jacob Woodard and Dawson Lassemba who were absent when the photo was taken.By Mable Hastings Sherbrooke T|he Mansonville chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) is sponsored by the Mis-sisquoi North Youth Centre.This year, nine youth (some of whom are pictured here) ages 12 to 17, meet weekly to share ideas, organize events, support community initiatives and develop leadership skills as well as team building.Recently the group has attended events promoting and serving \u201cmoclc-tails\u201d as a non-alcohol option for parties and events when celebrating with friends over the holidays.Moclctails, cocktails without the alcohol, are an easy alternative made with punch, frozen juice, 7-up and sliced fruit.With juices coming in a variety of colors, those creating the drink can make a festive impression on guests while giving their moclctail a name that suits the occasion.As an example, SADD created their version of \u201cPotton Punch\u201d and \u201cTownships Tickle\u201d among other catchy names.SADD bought a carbonating machine and can carbonate their moclctails as well, adding some fizzy fun to the mix.This past week, the SADD youth Board of Directors received their newest promotional t-shirts and matching sun- glasses! The \u201cSADD Attitudes for Living\u201d shirt encourages youth to \u201cBelieve in yourself, strive to make a difference, in- spire others, and laugh along the way.\u201d These hardworking youth are determined to encourage their peers to join them in encouraging and supporting other youth who are faced with a variety of tough decisions on a daily basis.The Mansonville SADD Chapter would like to remind all of you to be safe this holiday season.If you are going to party with friends, don\u2019t drink and drive.Because you can\u2019t always predict the actions of others, use caution when driving and always buckle up.The youth would like to wish everyone the best that the holiday season can bring with health and happiness for all.For more information about the Mansonville SADD chapter, visit www.cabmn.org or for more information about the SADD organization, visit www.sadd.org SADD\u2019s slogan is, \u201cIf we can dream it, it can be done.\u201d The Mansonville SADD continues as it has for the last 27 years in Potton with these youth hoping to make a positive difference as the many youth before them did.Lenn video store gone but not lost Richmond Library gets Geological heritage present By Matthew McCully Sherbrooke While news has already spread through the grapevine that Club Video Lennoxville will be closing its doors on Dec.24, business owner Daniel Rouleau said all is not lost; the video store will be giving a copy of all of its doubled films to the Lennoxville Library.How the library makes them available will be entirely up to them, Rouleau said, not knowing if they will choose to rent or lend the films.\u201cIt\u2019s way too many movies for one household,\u201d Rouleau laughed, as he and his brother Nicolas were deciding what to do with remaining inventory after liquidating everything possible.\u201cWe might as well give back to the community,\u201d he said, \u201cat least they won\u2019t be lost or thrown away.\u201d The video store has a long history in town, with the business changing hands and locations a number of times.Rouleau and his brother have had the business since they bought the building where it is located at 175 Queen Street since 2004.\u201cIt was mostly VHS when we bought it,\u201d Rouleau said, explaining that the store has been building a massive DVD collection for the past 11 years.\u201cThere are a whole bunch of classics, they get used by schools,\u201d Rouleau said.\u201cWe want to make sure they will still be available.\u201d Jael Remillard, who has been running the store for the Rouleau brothers for the last seven years, said the store is in liquidation mode over the next two weeks.\u201cWe\u2019re working shifts we wouldn\u2019t usually,\u201d Remillard said, working on cataloguing all the MATTHEW MCCULLY i'sr ftffl sm W I»!

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, December 14, 2015 Page 5 Galt students gathering funds to go to Africa Galt students are raising funds to help them get to Africa with the Praxis Malawi Project MË fâw&Ëb/' 4^, A.\\ \u2022iW- By Gordon Lambie Most people, when hearing the words \u201cschool trip,\u201d will think of something like a bus ride to a museum, or an overnight stay in the national or provincial capital.In students the term is often synonymous with \u201ctime off,\u201d because no matter what, the trip will mean hours spent outside of the classroom doing something out of the ordinary.Alexander Galt Art Teacher Sigal Hir-shfeld is looking to take that concept of \u201c school trip\u201d to a whole new level and give a group of local high school students an opportunity to change both their own lives and the lives of others by teaming up with the university-based Praxis Malawi Project.\u201cWe wanted to have a humanitarian trip that wasn\u2019t based around these huge companies that make money off of you volunteering in a foreign country,\u201d the art teacher said.\u201cWe wanted to go with a project that is long term and will allow students to remain actively involved over the years.\u201d Hirshfeld explained that the group, which meets at lunchtimes outside of regular class hours, is planning around a two-year model.Since getting started in October, the students have been working on raising money this year to contribute to the development of a particular part of the project like a classroom or an orchard.Next year, they will work to gather the resources to take a team of ten to Malawi in 2017.\u201cSo far it\u2019s been very positive,\u201d the teacher shared, saying that they are aiming to raise $5,000 toward the work of Praxis Malawi and then about $3,000 per student for the trip.While establishing that the project is still very much in its infancy, Hirshfeld said that the group of students who have come out to participate in the initiative have been among the most engaged she has ever seen with any project over the course of her career.After a targeted appeal to students at the start of the school year, more than forty came out to the first meeting.\u201cIt\u2019s the most kinds I\u2019ve ever seen come to one of these clubs,\u201d the teacher said.\u201cUsually I have five or six kids who consistently show up, but this has been a group of more than 25 kids now for the past month and a half, showing up every week.\u201d The difference, Hirshfeld theorized, is in the core of what the activity is all about.Where other student clubs link to students\u2019 interests on a theoretical level, RICHMOND Cont\u2019d from page 3 this one opens the door to making a real concrete difference in the world in a way that most students don\u2019t get exposed to in high school.Not forced to do it, a choice.Interest seeded by we day after art auction last year \u201cThey don\u2019t have to wait to become adults, they can take action now within their own means,\u201d Hirshfeld said, explaining that the seed of the idea was planted after a group of students held an art auction to benefit the Bishop\u2019s/Champlain Refugee Student Sponsorship program last year.The action showed the young artists that they were just as capable of making a difference in the world as anyone else if they apply themselves, and that impression was solidified by a trip to \u201cWe Day\u201d activities in Montreal.\u201cThe whole thing filled them up, they felt very inspired.\u201d \u201cThis is what education is supposed to be about,\u201d said Melanie Bennett-Stonebanks, Praxis Malawi\u2019s Education Coordinator.\u201cIt really is an investment in the future not just for Malawi but for the kids themselves.\u201d Bennett-Stonebanks stressed the education base for the entire Praxis Malawi program, whether for students at the university, cegep, or high school level.Unlike the increasingly popular \u201cvoluntourism\u201d initiatives available to people these days, this project is focused on long-term connection and active focused research.\u201cIt really is a research endeavor even for them at this young age.We are building future researchers,\u201d said Bennett-Stonebanks, who also serves in the School of Education at Bishop\u2019s University as Interim Director of Practice Teaching.\u201cThis is theory in action.\u201d Both Bennett-Stonebanks and Hirshfeld also spoke with great enthusiasm about the way they see the project offering an unparalleled opening to bring student learning opportunities and community-building together.\u201cIt really is about community helping community,\u201d the Education Coordinator added.\u201cThere\u2019s one community here working with the community in Malawi and we want that to be as large as the community can be.\u201d Hirshfeld said that at the moment the group of roughly 25 students is focused almost entirely on coming up with and executing fundraising ideas both within the school communities that the project is working with and in the greater Sherbrooke area.On that note, she said that the group welcomes engagement and participation from the wider community either in terms of monetary donations, volunteer hours, or simply support and ideas.\u201cI\u2019m letting them lead the way,\u201d the art teacher said of her students.\u201cIf they don\u2019t own it, it\u2019s not going to stay with them.\u201d At the same time, Hirshfeld said that she is working on building strong bonds between the students involved, their parents, the community and the project coordinators.These links, combined with workshops meant to help inform the students about the realities of life in Malawi, will eventually help guide the teacher in choosing the core group of ten who will end up spending ten days in what Bennett-Stonebanks called, \u201cthe warm heart of Africa.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s open to everybody, but we\u2019re going to do a selection process where student will have to show commitment,\u201d Hir- shfeld said.\u201cThere are kids involved who know for sure they\u2019re not going; they just want to contribute.\u201d \u201cEvery drop in the bucket makes a difference,\u201d Bennett-Stonebanks added.\u201cThere\u2019s so much learning that\u2019s involved; we\u2019re learning constantly in every conversation that we have.The kids are going to teach us things along the way and we want the community to add to that knowledge base.\u201d Though right now the Galt group is composed of students ranging from levels two to five, Hirshfeld said that the plan is for the group travelling in the next school year to be made up of level three and four students.\u201cIt\u2019s never been done before at Galt.\u201d the art teacher said.\u201cIt\u2019s a big learning experience.\u201d In his text, Couture underlines the on-going need for libraries in small towns and villagesand working at the library, which serves three municipalities, during the ten years he lived here, \u201cI realized this library was unique with one third of its inventory loaded with English language books, the other two thirds in French.As a volunteer, I also recognized the commitment of the thirty or so volunteers who look after this book-filled space, where a reading corner invites members to stop, thumb through the pages of a book or two and make their final choice.Couture alao mentions the longstanding influence the library has on local youngsters especially with the 'Story Telling1 scheduled one Friday a month.The next 'Story Telling1 event is scheduled for Friday, December 18, for children aged 3 to 7 years of age.Thist theme is 'Noel'.During the holidays, the library will be closed from

over several decades - pick up the slack from more affected regions.Quebec's federation, representing about 7,300 producers, is seeking approval to add 2.5 million taps to the 43 million already active each year.Quebec's supply management system keeps syrup prices high by using its strategic reserve - which contains 60 million pounds - to balance production fluctuations.A shorter season also affected U.S.maple production last year but it's premature to forecast weather problems several months ahead, said Matthew Gordon, executive director of the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association.\u201cIt certainly could have an impact, but I wouldn't base any business decisions on it right now,\u201d he said.Gordon said although El Nino affects winter weather, it tends to have less impact on spring's oscillating temperatures of freezing nights and thawing days that are crucial for maple production.Canadian maple production decreased 6.1 per cent to 8.9 million gallons last season, said Statistics Canada.The value of maple production was $358 million, down from $380 million in 2014 and the $408 million peak in 2013.Quebec remained the country's largest producer, accounting for more than 90 per cent of national output.Honey production is up By John Cotter The Canadian Press Edmonton The Canadian beekeeping industry is buzzing over new numbers that show honey production is up to its highest level in nine years.New figures from Statistics Canada show beekeepers produced 95.3 million pounds of honey in 2015, an increase of 11.4 per cent from the previous year.The total value of the sweet stuff is up by 10.9 per cent to $232 million due to the increased production.\u201cThe industry is successful and is growing.It really is a positive message,\u201d Rod Scarlett, executive director of the Canadian Honey Council said Wednesday.The number of bee colonies increased by 3.6 per cent, largely due to milder Cont\u2019d on Page 7 -\t¦ I H U M\t- RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIG 1Y7 Fax: 819-821-3179 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Website: www.sherbrookerecord.com Sharon McCully Publisher .(819)\t569-9511 John Edwards News Editor.(819)\t569-6345 Stephen Blake Corresp.Editor.(819)\t569-6345 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman.(819)\t569-9931 DEPARTMENTS Accounting.(819)\t569-9511 Advertising .(819)\t569-9525 Circulation .(819)\t569-9528 Newsroom .(819)\t569-6345 Knowlton office 5B Victoria Street, Knowlton, Quebec, JOE 1V0 Tel: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS \t\t\tGST\tPST\tTOTAL\t Quebec:\t1 YEAR\t135.60\t6.78\t13.53\t$ 1 5 5\t.91 \t6 MONTHS\t71.19\t3.56\t7.10\t$81\t.8 5 \t3 MONTHS\t36.16\t1.81\t3.60\t$41\t.5 7 \tON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS\t\t\t\t\t Quebec:\t1 YEAR\t71.50\t3.58\t7.13\t$82\t.21 \t1 MONTH\t6.49\t0.32\t0.65\t$7.\t46 Rates for out of Qiiebec and for other services available on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9,1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM #0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA climate chi C?.1»mm However, its production decreased 5.8 per cent from 2014, Statcan said Wednesday.Poor weather in parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia also hurt production in Canada's third and fourth-largest maple producing provinces after Ontario, which was stable.Despite lower production, maple syrup sales and exports have steadily increased over the past five years, said Rouillard.Quebec export volumes to the U.S.increased last year even though new American production caused the province's U.S.market share to drop to about 72 per cent.Quebec producers also spend about $5 million annually to develop new maple products and to expand exports to markets in Europe, Asia and Australia.The weaker loonie is expected to give Canadian sales a jolt as exported syrup becomes cheaper.Gordon said U.S.bottlers that aren't marketing their state-produced syrup will look to purchase lower priced bulk Canadian syrup.That could be a disincentive for American producers to continue to add more taps.Letter Dear Editor, Would you kindly publish this good Christian Prayer for those who govern over us?\"Endow (him-them) with your justice, O God-May he,they,judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice.May he, they, defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy, may he, they, crush the oppressor.May he, they, rule from sea to sea.For he, they, will deliver the needy who cry out ,the afflicted who have no one to help.He, they, will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death.He, they, will rescue them from oppression and violence,for precious is their blood in His sight.May people ever pray for him, them, and bless him, them, all day long.Then all nations will be blessed through him, them.\" Adapted from Psalm 72 -

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, December 14, 2015 Page 7 Meet Your Neighbours Ann Mitchell - Home and Hearth SERAFIN LARIVIERE Author and artist Ann Mitchell with some of her pieces exhibited at Stanstead\u2019s Colby-Cur-tis Museum.By Serafin Lariviere Special to the Record Art Naif - or Naïve Art, en anglais.It\u2019s a veritable Québécois institution, filling countless homes, galleries and gift shops with colourful, homey images depicting life in La Belle Province.For the uninitiated, these paintings may seem deceptively simplistic: Figures and settings almost childlike, a cascade of colours completely outside of even the most impressionist of works.But in the hands of a master like Ann Mitchell, Art Naif is a wonder of delicately fine detail and heartfelt affection.Mitchell, originally from Ottawa, has been a staple of the Eastern Townships artistic community for decades, and is one of the most recognizable local painters working in the milieu.From the beginning, she\u2019s worked almost entirely through private commissions and word-of-mouth, building the impressive portfolio currently gracing the walls of Stanstead\u2019s Colby Curtis museum.\u201cIt was quite a nice surprise, when they asked me if I would like to do an exhibition,\u201d says Mitchell.\u201cIt\u2019s a very nice feeling, seeing them all up there in such a beautiful setting.\u201d The collection spans Mitchell\u2019s 40-year career.Pride of place is given to her first effort, a painted tray depicting her husband Brad\u2019s childhood Massawippi home, Drumquin.It\u2019s a bucolic scene, with a red farmhouse nestled comfortably amongst lush fields, trees and a shimmering lake.Family members are shown in various activities: Her mother-in-law gardening, her father-in-law raising his arms as he greets their children\u2019s arrival by car.Like all of her paintings, the figures are faceless but easily recognizable to those in the know.The first commission came shortly after, a painting of a friend\u2019s family home.\u201cAnd that was the start, really,\u201d says Mitchell.\u201cAs soon as people knew I was doing commissions I was never without work.At one point I had thirteen names on my waiting list, and I painted about three a year.It was great fun.\u201d It was also hard work.Mitchell begins by photographing the desired site, and familiarizing herself with family members.Then comes the long task of sketching out the piece, occasionally adjusting Honey Cont\u2019d from Page 6 temperatures last winter that reduced losses, mainly in the Prairies.Scarlett said Canada has been bucking the trend of declines in bee numbers compared to other countries.\u201cWe have been one of the few areas that stand out, in part because the beekeepers are more well versed in best management practises and how to handle problems that crop up.\u201d Those problems include controlling Varroa mites, a parasite that attacks honey bees.The tiny bugs can kill off an entire colony.The industry is also working on an action plan with the federal government to promote bee health including ways to reduce pesticide exposure in and outside the hive.Scarlett said the biggest challenge facing the industry is competition for the key U.S.market from Argentina, which has also had a bumper crop of honey that is affecting prices.Canada exports up to 70 per cent of its production, mainly to the U.S.Alberta is the top honey producer in Canada and one of the largest in the world, with the majority of hives in and around the greater Edmonton area and the Peace River region.Urban beekeeping is a growing trend, with more municipalities allowing people to try their hand with a hive or two.Scarlett said there are beekeeper associations in major cities such as Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto.The one in Toronto has more than 600 members.\u201cIt is definitely not a commercial situation.Some are doing it for the environment.Some are doing it for the honey.Some are doing it because it is a great hobby.\u201d There is also growing demand for bees to pollinate crops across Canada, he said.According to Statistics Canada, Alberta produced 42.8 million pounds of honey this year, up 20.4 per cent from 2014.There was also increased production in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.The previous Canadian production high was 106.5 million pounds in 2006.perspective to include other buildings or nearby features important to the client\u2019s home life before finishing the work in acrylic paint.The drawing came naturally to Mitchell.Many childhood hours had been whiled away with pencil and paper, encouraged by loving parents who spotted their both their daughter\u2019s enjoyment and talent at the craft.This kind indulgence, however, had its roots in slightly less halcyon circumstances.\u201cOh, I was a bad kid,\u201d Mitchell laughs.\u201cI was sent to my room a lot.So I sat in the window and drew the houses across the street.No skill, nothing particularly good, but I could draw what I could see and I really enjoyed it.In fact Mitchell is almost entirely self-taught, fed by her love of country life and an admiration for the work of renowned American folk artist Grandma Moses.But it was that first painting of her in-laws\u2019 farmhouse that sparked her interest in depicting family homes in her work.\u201cThey were wonderful people,\u201d she says.\u201cAnd the warmth and hospitality in that house was just incredible.\u201d Drumquin is one of the many homes featured in Mitchell\u2019s 1997 book Where the Heart Is, a collection of her paintings throughout the years.Mitchell pairs each picture with anecdotes of the painting\u2019s subject, and her own journey as an artist.Those possessing this beautiful tome should count themselves lucky, as copies are harder to come by today, despite two successful printings.And any hoping for commissions will surely be disappointed to hear that the artist is no longer accepting them, following her Parkinson\u2019s diagnosis several years ago.Now, most days find Mitchell gardening at her own beloved 1850\u2019s farmhouse near the village of North Hatley, or finishing what she says will be her final painting of their home, purchased in 1985.They\u2019ve listed it for sale as they prepare to downsize in their senior years.Their new home is a smaller house in Ayer\u2019s Cliff, with lots of windows and garden space.\u201cIt was time to move on,\u201d she says.\u201cIt\u2019s a big house with 57 acres, so it\u2019s a lot of upkeep for us.I\u2019m not as steady now, but I\u2019m doing quite well really.I\u2019ll keep painting, but perhaps just vignettes.I won\u2019t do anything large.\u201d She pauses, then laughs.\u201cOh heck, I say that now, but I\u2019ll probably try anything.\u201d ANN MITCHELL - HOME AND HEARTH continues until Dec.17th at the Colby-Curtis Museum at 535 Dufferin St.in Stanstead.See colbycurtis.ca for more

games have a winner.Take the game of Telephone, for example.No one wins.The fun comes in how a message is passed around.To play Telephone, players must sit in a circle.The first player thinks of a good message and whispers it in the next player's ear.Play continues in this way until everyone has had a turn.The last player to hear the message repeats it out loud.In most cases, the message given by the last player is not the message given by the first player.As the message is passed around the circle, it often changes, sometimes in a big way.The message, \"Mary has a black and white dog named Misty\" could very well end up, \"Marty has a black and brown cat named Hissy.\" The longer the message, the harder it is for players to remember and tell it to each other correctly.2 2 The Record

Sherbrooke QC PHONE: 819-564-1750 FAX: 819-564-4423 cass@casshomes.ca www.casshomes.ca High triglycerides threaten your health ASK DOCTOR K By Anthony L.Komaroff, M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: My recent cholesterol blood test came back pretty good, but my doctor said he was worried about my high triglyceride levels.What are triglycerides?Should I be worried, and what can I do about this?DEAR READER: When doctors perform cholesterol blood tests, they actually test for LDL (\u201cbad\u201d) cholesterol, HDL (\u201cgood\u201d) cholesterol, total cholesterol (a combination of good and bad cholesterol), as well as triglycerides \u2014another type of fat.Levels of triglycerides that truly are high increase your risk for pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas, as well as heart disease and stroke.The level of triglycerides in your blood is measured accurately only when you\u2019ve been fasting for 12 hours before your blood is drawn.When measured while you\u2019ve been fasting, triglyceride levels are categorized in this way: \u2014 Normal: less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL); \u2014 Borderline high: 150 to 199 mg/dL; \u2014 High: 200 to 499 mg/dL; \u2014 Very high: 500 mg/dL and above.Recent studies find that about a third of people in the United States have at least borderline high levels of triglycerides.Nearly 20 percent have levels that are clearly high.So this is an important health issue.The advice I can give with confidence is to recommend lifestyle changes that we know can lower triglyceride levels.Avoid diets high in saturated fat.Cut back on sugar-sweetened foods and beverages.Exercise regularly, and achieve a healthy weight through a combination of diet and exercise.These lifestyle practices directly reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as reducing triglyceride levels.And reducing those levels may further reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.High triglyceride levels may also be caused by illnesses such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, underactive thyroid or liver disease.Treatment of these diseases can also lower triglyceride levels.People who drink a lot of alcoholic beverages, even if they don\u2019t get liver disease, tend to have high triglycerides.Finally, certain medications can sometimes increase triglyceride levels: estrogen, tamoxifen, retinoid medicines, beta blockers, and medicines that suppress the immune system are examples.If you are on any of these, ask your doctor if changing the dose or switching to another type of medicine is possible.High triglyceride levels can be treated with medicines, too.The problem is that we don\u2019t have proof that lowering triglyceride levels with drugs improves a person\u2019s health.That\u2019s because there has not been enough good research.Statins are commonly prescribed for lowering high levels of \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol, but they also effectively lower triglyceride levels.Another option is a triglyceride-lowering drug such as niacin or a fibrate.Fibrates such as gemfibrozil (Lopid) reduce the production of triglycerides in the liver.Moderate doses of a statin and a triglyceride-lowering drug may also be combined.For years, many doctors have focused on treating high levels of LDL (\u201cbad\u201d) cholesterol and have tended not to treat elevated levels of triglycerides.Today there\u2019s good evidence that triglycerides should not be ignored.(This column is an update of one that ran originally in September 2012.)

Page 12 Monday, December 14, 2015 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record My husband has a bad habit of not listening to people when they talk MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2015 Dear Annie: I am in a painful position with my mother-in-law.I was pretty sure my husband was talking poorly about me to her, so I asked him whether he had badmouthed me to his mother.He totally denied it, saying, \u201cAbsolutely not!\u201d Well, she was visiting recently, and I walked into the room and overheard them both talking negatively about me.I innocently asked what they were discussing and my husband lied outright, saying they were discussing a purchase.My mother-in-law looked like a deer caught in headlights.After she left, I again asked my husband what they were talking about and he reiterated his previous lie.A few weeks later, I got a card in the mail from his mother saying, \u201cIf my son ain\u2019t happy, I ain\u2019t happy.\u201d I placed it on my husband\u2019s nightstand.He never said a word and acts as though he didn\u2019t see it.The card has since disappeared.How should I address all of this with my husband and his mom?\u2014 Wife on the Outside Dear Wife: Whether or not your mother-in-law likes you is beside the point.Your husband should not be agreeing with her or worse, egging her on in a race to see who can insult you more.When faced with criticism of his wife, he should defend you.Even when you are in the wrong, he should not be badmouthing you to someone outside the marriage.It\u2019s an emotional betrayal, and it shows disrespect.And over time, it can erode the bonds of your marriage.Tell your husband this must stop and ask him to accompany you to a counselor.If he refuses to admit there is a problem, go without him and work on this.Dear Annie: Often when my husband and I go out with friends, we will see another couple we know along the way.Of course, we politely introduce our friends to the couple.The next thing I know, the two couples are laughing, conversing and setting up a future time to get together.Meanwhile, I\u2019m standing there feeling like chopped liver.This has happened more times than I can count.The people we\u2019ve run into seem to think it\u2019s their right to take custody of our friends.If it hadn\u2019t happened so often, I wouldn\u2019t be so upset.Is there a way to nicely communicate to people that this isn\u2019t OK?\u2014 Annoyed Dear Annoyed: If it\u2019s the same people every time, we\u2019d stop introducing our friends to them.If it is a variety of couples that poach your friends, you have two ways to deal with it: You can be flattered that others like your taste in friends and determine not to be upset by it.Friendships aren\u2019t winner-take-all.Your friends can enjoy the company of others without it changing their friendship with you.The other tactic is to make a brief introduction and then say, \u201cSorry we can\u2019t stay and chat.\u201d Then escort the couple you are with to the car, down the street, and into the restaurant or wherever you are going.Your mistake is allowing their conversation to go on long enough for them to get to know one another and make plans, while you silently fume on the inside.Dear Annie: My husband and his best friend of six years have had a falling out.My husband has a bad Annie\u2019s Mailbox habit of not listening to people when they talk.I thought he was that way only with me, but apparently not.I guess it has happened several times with \u201cBob,\u201d and about two months ago, Bob told my husband that he\u2019d had it.At first, my husband gave him some space.They work for the same company and see each other a few days a week.My husband apologized in person and via text.He has invited Bob to get together for dinner and talk it out, but Bob\u2019s not interested.I have texted Bob, begging him to forgive my husband, but he won\u2019t budge.My husband misses the friendship.I don\u2019t understand why Bob is being so stubborn about forgiveness.I\u2019m pretty sure he has some faults of his own.I asked my husband whether something else is going on, or whether Bob has other issues that are upsetting him, and he swears that there is nothing.Should he just give up on the friendship?\u2014 Frustrated Wife in California Dear Frustrated: We know you are hurting for your husband, but you need to leave this alone.There could be other things going on that Bob doesn\u2019t want to discuss or that your husband is reluctant to mention.It\u2019s also possible that Bob needs a lot more breathing space before he is willing to reconcile.They see each other at work and, for now, that will have to be enough.Your husband should be cordial to Bob when he runs into him, but otherwise, there should be no pressure from either of you to resume the friendship.That decision belongs to Bob.Sorry.Dear Annie: You have printed letters from married people who caught their spouses cheating.My wife and I have been together for 25 years, and we each caught the other in an affair.We survived! Here are my words of wisdom about affairs: Never ask about or offer the details.It will only sear images into your spouse\u2019s imagination that really don\u2019t matter.Ask what caused your partner to cheat and fix it.I was gone too much for work, and when another man paid my wife some much-needed attention, one thing led to another.I changed my life to be home more often.My affair was with a much younger woman who made me feel vibrant and desirable.I realize now I was a sugar daddy to her.My wife turned up the charm and made me feel desirable again.We each gave each other the same ultimatum \u2014 either get rid of the other person completely and work on the marriage, or leave.Cheating does not have to end the relationship.Rather, it can create the beginning of a new, stronger and better relationship.It takes strength, commitment and most of all forgiveness, but if you are still in love, never give up.\u2014 Still in Love and Still Married Dear Still: We agree that marriages can survive affairs if both parties get counseling and work on it.And while the nitty-gritty details are never a good idea, transparency is an absolutely necessity.Trust cannot be regained if, for example, one spouse insists on an email account or cellphone to which the other spouse has no access.Dear Annie: My neighbors are a lovely couple in their 70s.I have always been friendly with them.Several months ago \u201cMrs.Smith\u201d became quite ill.Whenever I saw \u201cMr.Smith,\u201d I would ask about his wife\u2019s health.About three months in, he started ending our conversations with a hug.I thought he was sad about his wife and lonely while she was undergoing care.But then he started dropping by my office.The first few times I let it ride.Around the fifth time, however, I told him he had to stop because it was interfering with my workday.Then, he started following me to the office.I\u2019d pull into the parking lot, and he\u2019d be right behind me.Two weeks ago, he pulled right up to my bumper and asked my how many miles I had on my car.I was genuinely late for a meeting and was brusque.He hasn\u2019t been back since then.Every day when I drive into our subdivision, he\u2019s standing in his driveway waiting.I immediately pull over in someone else\u2019s driveway and pretend I\u2019m on a call.Yesterday, I pulled over and read the owner\u2019s manual out loud to make it look like I was talking on the phone.It took 30 minutes before he finally went inside.I understand he\u2019s lonely, but he is freaking me out.I needed to tell someone, and I knew you wouldn\u2019t consider it any weirder than some of your other letters.Good heavens, I feel better already.\u2014 R.Dear R.: Glad we could help.Your neighbor seems lonely and a little obsessed with you.You might have been the only consistently friendly face during his wife\u2019s illness, and it became more meaningful than you intended.Be kind, but set some boundaries.Wave hello from your door instead of walking over.Then go inside or get in your car.If he starts heading your way, say, \u201cSorry I can\u2019t stay and chat, but I have a conference call.\u201d If he gets too close, be honest and tell him that he\u2019s making you uncomfortable and you\u2019d like him to back off.Needless to say, no more hugs.Dear Annie: I would like to comment on your answer to \u201cHer Sister,\u201d whose sister had a stroke and is in long-term care.She said people should visit more.You mentioned bringing photographs of people they know, playing music they grew up with, reading from a favorite book, etc.This may not work with someone who has dementia.My mother has been in a nursing home for nearly a year.She never asks about her beloved cat.We don\u2019t discuss my brother-in-law, who recently died.My mother adored him, but talking about him would only depress her and possibly get her brain fixated on something unpleasant.For her, it\u2019s best to talk about what\u2019s going on in the moment.We talk about the weather.She loves going outside and looking at the flowers and other people.The past has escaped her.I try to make her present as enjoyable as possible.\u2014 Upstate N.Y.Larry Dear Larry: Every person is different, and if your mother does not respond positively to things from her past, you are right to concentrate on the present.You sound like a caring and devoted son.Annie\u2019s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.of Cw\\@i@f\\s read fne newspaper every weeK.tiosfof the m

from England has surely written more bridge books than anyone else.He has over 100 and counting.One of his most recent is \u201cWhat\u2019s Your Line?\u201d (Master Point Press).It contains 100 declarer-play problems spread evenly over 10 topics.They are testing, but not impossible.If you would like either to improve or to practice your play, this book will suit you.Today\u2019s deal comes from the chapter on slams.How should South plan the play in six spades after West leads the club jack?Spades break 3-3.In the auction, most tournament players would open the North hand with ace-king, ace and a good five-card suit.However, North should have rebid one no-trump.South\u2019s four no-trump was Roman Key Card Blackwood in diamonds.North showed three key cards (three aces, or two aces and the diamond king).South then jumped to six spades, even though his partner might have been void in the suit.It\u2019s called author\u2019s license.South starts with 11 tricks: five spades, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.The only chance of a 12th winner is to establish dummy\u2019s diamond suit.If that is also 3-3, an over- CROSSWORD North\t12-14-15 4 6 5 y A 9 5 ?\tA K 8 5 4 *532

should duck a diamond.If an opponent shifts to hearts, South wins with his king, plays off dummy\u2019s top diamonds (pitching, say, a club), ruffs a diamond, crosses to dummy with a heart, and discards his low heart on the high diamond eight.Across 1 Main idea 5 Seniors, to juniors 9 Pizza party drinks 14\tA whole bunch 15\tSkip past 16\t_Jeane Mortenson: Marilyn Mon- roe\u2019s birth name
