It\u2019s a girl!\u201d I was both terribly excited that she was a girl, and terribly excited that I had been right.She was my little cousin Laura.Now she is in her early thirties, and expecting for a second time.Your mother is a very, very hardworking person.She is not only an elementary school teacher (like my mother, and the grandmother we share), she worked to get her Masters in Education as well.She managed all of that before marrying your Dad a few years ago and before your sister Milah was born.Your Mum and I have a very special bond.She is my son, Angus\u2019s godmother (Uncle Angus to you, as your big sister calls him) and she has been a champion and cheerleader for him, especially since he is someone with Autism who needs extra help.Your Mum was once like a little sister to me, now more just like a sister, since as we grow up and older, the plains between ages flatten out.She puts a lot of pressure on herself.There was no exception in her pregnancy with you, although she worked as hard at making her body a healthy place for you to live as she did at everything else.She told her that she thought maybe you would be an early baby.Maybe even two weeks.I told her that I remembered feeling that with my second child too, your Uncle Leo.You were due on February 28th though, so you\u2019re already fun to know, since we are already bad at predicting your next move.We watched Valentine\u2019s Day go by, when we thought maybe you would arrive.We watched the Zodiac change signs, from Aquarius to Pisces.Astrostyle.com says that Aquarius is \u201cThe mad scientist and humanitarian of the horoscope wheel, futuristic Aquarius energy helps us innovate and unite for social justice.\u201d Pisces, rather is: \u201cThe dreamer and healer of the horoscope family, Pisces energy awakens compassion, imagination and artistry, uniting us as one.\u201d I don\u2019t know what I feel about the Zodiac or astrology, but I definitely find it interesting.We thought you would arrive on the 28th after all \u2013 and then, there it was.I think your Mum was probably the most surprised of all.February 28th was our mutual Gran\u2019s birthday.She was the eleventh of sixteen children, and the first Canadian-born.Her name was Sheila, like mine.Your Mum never got to meet her, but I remember her.She was quick, and had a special fiery energy.She was very creative, and had mad cool style.Then, you moved on from being a February baby to a March baby.You segued between birthstones too \u2013 from the purple of Amethyst to the crystal clear of Aquamarine.A light blue to go with your sister\u2019s dark blue sapphire.According to the Canadian Jewellers\u2019 Association, Aquamarine derives its name from the Latin meaning \u201cseawater\u201d, is clear sea blue colour, but can also range from colourless to deep-sea blue.It is a close relative of the emerald as they are both members of the beryl family of gems.In the symbolism they say that Aquamarine was worn to bring courage to the wearer, victory at war, and safety on the sea.It was also thought to bring happiness to marriages, rekindle love and provide oracles with the best means of forecasting the future.Imagine that.Reading these things makes me think of the mysteries of you, little baby girl.Little baby girl born on the heels of the #MeToo moment, when there has been a huge wave and crave for change.I wonder if you will look on this time a little the way we look on the suffragettes?I\u2019ve been teasing your mother that she\u2019s \u201coverdueing\u201d it.That\u2019s probably much funnier to me than it is to her.I\u2019ve been there too, as your Uncle Leo took four more days to feel like it was time to show his little mug.The mysteries of you.All that belong to you.Will you look like your Daddy\u2019s Polish family, or like your Mum\u2019s Irish- English-French Canadian family?Like your sister, you might have a little of both.You will be you, and it is you we long to meet.You we long to hold and help to grow as you will help me.You will be born probably somewhere around the halfway mark of my life.I\u2019ve learned a few things, but I still have so much to learn, and hope to learn every day.I know that if you keep your eyes open, you\u2019ll notice that too \u2013 we learn every day.We don\u2019t know your name yet, but we know that it will work in three languages (English, Polish and French).Although we\u2019ve been told that you are a little girl, mostly you\u2019re a little person, and you are fortunate already, to be surrounded by so many who are looking out for your welfare.I have so many wishes for you \u2013 to be healthy, to be curious, to have fun, to make friends, to be passionate about life, but most of the wishes will take shape as you introduce us to them.We look forward to meet you, you little time traveler, winding your way through months and signs and stones.You are one of us, and one of a kind.We love you.Auntie Sheila Dishpan

to reopen on Wellington South Record Staff SHERBROOKE The bar Le Magog, destroyed by fire in December, will come back to life on Wellington Street South, in the space formerly occupied by the Amnesia Night Club.The new bar will open in mid-April after some redesign.Several acts are already booked for the summer, including the group Grimskunk on May 18.The historic Magog House Hotel on Dufferin St.which housed the bar was ravaged by flames in December and had to be demolished.Magog bar employee threatened with knife Record Staff MAGOG Police were called to Magog\u2019s La Memphré microbrewery Saturday night after a man threatened an employee with a knife.The incident occurred just before closing time.The suspect was being thrown out of the bar because of drunken behavior.\"It was once he was on the sidewalk that the man became aggressive,\u201d said Memphremagog Police spokesperson Mickaël Laroche.\u201cAfter taking out his penknife and threatening to kill the bar employee who had accompanied him, he left the scene when he knew that police had been called.\" The individual, who has a long police record, particularly in terms of violence, was quickly located by police

for Estrie Environment Awards Record Staff SHERBROOKE The 25th edition of the Estrie Environmental Awards Gala, coming this October, will be celebrated with a brand new formula.\"For our 25th anniversary, we have enhanced the competition to highlight initiatives and projects that stand out and deserve recognition,\" said Foundation President Alain Webster.The gala will award 20 Distinctions, eight Excellence Grand Prizes and two Merit Awards during the ceremony, Webster said.The ceremony pays tribute to environmental efforts made in all sectors of activity by a diverse group of businesses and organizations.The awards in each category draw attention to actions that have had a positive impact on the environment, while being different from the approaches normally taken in the different sectors (industry, trade and service enterprise, agriculture and forestry, health and education, non-profit organization, municipality and MRC, start-up, youth and succession).The awards for excellence will be based on actions having the most significant impact in terms of innovation in sustainable development, best environmental practices, knowledge transfer, the fight against climate change, attitude and behavioral changes, and the Influence of sustainable development principles reaching beyond the region.The Foundation will also give two scholarships to highlight the environmental initiatives of young people at the elementary or secondary level and of young people at the college or university level.A guide for potential candidates is available on the Foundation's website and provides a list of eligible projects and organizations and several examples to inspire those involved in the competition.The Foundation is accepting applications as of this week.A change of presidency The 25th anniversary is also an opportunity to underline the unwavering involvement of Guy Fouquet, who has decided to leave the presidency of the organization that he helped set up and sustain.Alain Webster, professor at the School of Management at the University of Sherbrooke, who has been actively committed to the environment and has served as director of the Foundation for almost 10 years, has taken over for Fou- quet.Can Bishop\u2019s save Divinity House with Aboriginal resource centre?Record Staff SHERBROOKE Bishop's University wants to renovate its iconic Divinity House to develop a space for Aboriginal students.Divinity House, built in 1891, has been closed since 2014 due to major structural problems.The project, valued at several million dollars, is still in its infancy and is the latest attempt to salvage the iconic building, which served as a residence for students in the Faculty of Divinity, and later included an oratory and more re¬cently classrooms for students, offices for faculty, and academic support services, such as the Writing Centre.In 2017, a task force concluded that it would cost between $6 and $7 million to renovate the building.An evaluation by the Quebec government suggested that Bishop\u2019s already has too many buildings on the campus to warrant the renovations.If the university does not find the required funds from external funding, it could be demolished.A decision is expected after a final report is submitted in May.Indigenous students have been asking for a space since 2012 where they can share and participate in activities.Upon arrival at university, Indigenous students are often leaving their communities for the first time.Similar initiatives have been taken at several other universities and take different forms, from simple premises to complete buildings.There is a \"First People's House\" at McGill dedicated to Aboriginal students.Divinity House is located at the entrance to Bishop's Campus, on Route 108, near St Mark's Chapel and McGreer Hall.It was closed for safety reasons.There is currently a club on campus for Aboriginal students.Bishop\u2019s has about 30 Aboriginal students and the Champlain Lennoxville Campus has approximately the same number.Bishop\u2019s would like to transform its historic Divinity House into a centre for Aboriginal students.(MIKE MCDEVITT) Page 4 T uesday , March 6, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record The secret weight loss world of menopausal Mary By Linda Knight Seccaspina Looking closely at my body, I wonder how a person ends up becoming a particular shape in life.I think I have half a brain, and I know if you eat sensibly you lose weight.So how come that for 60 odd years every diet in the universe has been attempted and only a few pounds have fallen off?Is there something blocking a fat cell somewhere, or is my lack of diet success just hereditary?My mother was tall and slender like Rita Hayworth, and my father, who I am the spitting image of, was the shape of a box like his mother.There you have it; no wonder as the years have passed, people say I look just like my grandmother.I have become the junior version of Mary Louise Deller Knight and have followed her quack diet ideas like ducks flock to water.Mary was a pretty British gal when my grandfather met her on the seashore in Devon, England in the early 1900s.She was no \u201cskinny minnie\u201d and had quite the caboose going, but Fred loved her no matter what she looked like.Mary always worried about her size and wore slimming navy blue dresses with her belt strategically located inches below her bust.I never saw her with a full plate of food, and considering how little we saw her eat in public, it was amazing that she did not look like a stick figure.Mary always began her morning with a cup of \u201cslimming tea\u201d followed by a piece of dry toast.Lunch was the same, and dinner was a small portion of whatever we ate, with the addition of fresh sliced tomatoes.I only saw her eat a piece of chocolate on Saturday nights, when my grandfather would go across the street and buy a bar for them to have with their weekly glass of sherry.When the slimming tea did not work, my grandmother read a magazine ad that advised her to take up smoking if she craved sweets.So instead of brewing her tea grammy reached for a Lucky Strike instead.Seeing no one smoked in the family she did it on the sly amongst the fresh mint that grew on the side of the barn.Every time she served mint on her leg of lamb, I swear all I could taste were ashes and wondered when my grandfather would catch on.Actually, it did not take grampy long to find out and he insisted she stop smoking so she would not get hemorrhoids.I had no clue what that was, but I just nodded in agreement.For a long period of time I noticed strange things in the drawers of the white bureau in her kitchen.They were $1.00 trial boxes of candy guaranteed to make you slimmer, called Kelpadine, and bottles of Ballard\u2019s Liniment that was guaranteed to rub the fat off you.One day she read an ad in her Ladies Home Jouranl for a weight-loss miracle \u2018candy\u2019 called Ayds.It was the worst name ever to be associated with any weight loss product, or anything else for that matter.I found cartons of the \u201cvitamin enriched\u201d stuff in chocolate and vanilla flavours tucked away among her folded towels.Mary had finally given in and gave up her grapefruit diets and the plates of cottage cheese.She truly believed that if she ate Ayds before meals they would become her final diet salvation.In the last few years of her life she finally gave up on her weight loss quest as she realized what really matters is what's in the inside- just like the fridge.One day she read an ad in her Ladies Home Jouranl for a weight-loss miracle \u2018candy\u2019 called Ayds.It was the worst name ever to be associated with any weight loss product, or anything else for that matter.COLUMNIST Frederick Hamilton Bradley (1873-1947): Dentist, Soldier and Mayor of Sherbrooke By Gérard Coté (LAHMS) and Jean-Marie Dubois (Université de Sherbrooke) Asection of a Sherbrooke street, opened as Durham in 1940, was renamed Bradley between 1948 and 1953, after the 41st mayor of Sherbrooke.Frederick Hamilton Bradley was born in Sherbrooke in 1873 of Irish immigrants who came to Quebec between 1848 an 1850.He was the eldest son of Jane Isabella Hyndman (1849-1922) and of William Robert Bradley (1839-1911).The couple had been married in 1867 in Trinity Methodist Church on Court Street.A Catholic, William converted to his wife\u2019s faith.He was first a building contactor, however, from the middle of the 1880s he was an undertaker on Frontenac Street and later, on Dufferin Street.Frederick studied dentistry at McGill University, and for 50 years, from 1894 until 1944, he was a Sherbrooke dentist, at first in parternship (Hyndman & Bradley) and then on his own beginning in 1921.In 1901 and 1902, he was an officer (captain) with the Sherbrooke Regiment.In 1910, he married Sarah Mabel Maud Barker (1879-1961) in the Dudswell Anglican church.They had five children, all born in Sherbrooke between 1911 and 1919 : William Barker, Eleanor Moira, Margaret Alice, Fredericka Isabel and Douglas Hamilton.Frederick Bradley was a captain in 1915 in the Canadian Army Dental Corps and lieutenant-colonel in 1916.He served until 1920 at the Valcartier military camp and in the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue military hospital.He went in to municipal politics in 1926, first as a North Ward alderman untill 1933.He served as president of the Parks and Property Committee from 1926 to 1930.He was also instrumental in the building of a new municipal incenerator (closed down in 1954) on Bromp- tonville Road.He was eventually mayor of Sherbrooke from 1934 to 1936.In order to alliviate the economic crisis of the time, Town Council undertook public works.The layout of several parks was improved and new parks were opened including Sainte-Jeanne-d\u2019Arc, Boudreau and Jacques-Cartier Parks.In 1934, in partnership with the Société Saint-Jean-Bap- tiste, the City erected a cross on Mena\u2019sen Island in the Saint-François River and committed to keep in lit in perpuity.In 1929, Frederick Bradley was vice-president of the Sherbrooke Board of Protestant School Commissioners.In 1934, he was vice-president of the Union musicale de Sherbrooke.His wife was awarded the Légion d\u2019honneur by France, in 1936, for having founded the local branch of the Alliance française.The couple had a cottage in North Hatley.Frederick died in 1947 in his home on Wolfe Street (now 270 Belvédère Nord).He was buried with his wife in Elmwood Cemetary.Doctor Bradley\u2019s widow continued living in the home until her death.Built in 1898, the house is still occupied in 2018.Gaudreault, Amédée (1954) Les maires de Sherbrooke.À compte d\u2019auteur, Sherbrooke, p.44.

there are three in Quebec graduating 160 new dentists each year - are subjected to some type of psychological screening before being licensed to insert sharp instruments in patients\u2019 tender mouths.Thanks, mercifully, to great advances in anesthetic drugs and procedures which render the freezing process virtually painless, there\u2019s been a huge decline in odontophobia (fear of dentists).Still, there are many who squirm in terror at the mere thought of a needle poking them in the mouth.That\u2019s especially true for children.The reluctance of youngsters to thrill to the dentist\u2019s drill is, bizarrely enough, at the heart of a gnawing political dispute.Quebec is the rare province to provide free coverage under the Régie de l\u2019assurance maladie (RAMQ) for dental work for children under 10 years of age.As of January, 2017, RAMQ no longer covers the cost of conscious sedation for dental work.The technique was included, for reasons unknown, on the list of user fees charged by medical practitioners Health Minister Gaetan Barrette abolished.Conscious sedation, pitched to kids as the \u201cclown nose,\u201d because the nasal cup administering the nitrous oxide - laughing gas! - is often round and colourful, has been a godsend for dentists and parents dealing with a child experiencing severe dental anxiety.It zonks them out so they are dozily pliable while the dentist works in peace.Now that dentists can no longer bill RAMQ for conscious sedation, they have little choice but to recommend general anesthesia.According to Dr.Serge Lan- glois, president of the Association des chirurgiens dentistes du Québec (ACDQ), dentists may decide to treat patients under conscious sedation, at their own expense, when it is urgent, \u201cbut for those who can wait, they are referred to general anesthesia, a procedure that is heavier and more costly for the government.\" The ACDQ has been battling Barrette over the issue, claiming he is \u201cunwilling to resolve it.\u201d The association says in a statement \u201cthe minister\u2019s lax handling of this matter is forcing parents to resort to general anesthesia when their vulnerable children need to be treated because they do not know when the situation will be resolved.The waiting lists for general anesthesia are long.\u201cWe do not understand why does the Minister include conscious sedation in the list of accessory costs, when he excludes general anesthesia from it, even though both of these procedures help control patients\u2019 behaviour so that they can receive dental care?Double standard?\u201d The association says it \u201cmade a proposal that would have kept care accessible.The ACDQ never received an answer or a formal and complete counter-pro- posal from the ministère de santé et services sociaux.\u201d Having failed to get a response from the ministry after a single meeting in February last year, the ACDQ filed a notice of dispute.There was a hearing before the adjudicator last month, and another meeting is scheduled for May.The fight for conscious sedation is not the only issue raising the profile of Quebec dentists, not normally known as a militant group.The ACDQ\u2019s current media campaign, \u201c200 Diagnoses: It Takes a Dentist\u201d takes subtle aim at the omniscience of medical doctors, reminding folks that every time a dentist probes in your mouth - sedated or not - he or she is on the lookout for a long checklist of oral horrors, from hairy tongue to multiple types of cancer.A dental clinic, a soothing doctor- actor states proudly, is \u201clike a mini-hos- pital.\u201d Of course, in real hospitals conscious sedation is covered by RAMQ.EDITORIAL Page 6 T uesday , March 6, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Thanks, mercifully, to great advances in anesthetic drugs and procedures which render the freezing process virtually painless, there\u2019s been a huge decline in odon- tophobia (fear of dentists).DEAR EDITOR, On the weekend of February 17 & 18, the Play, \u201cSettler Story\u201d was presented at the Sawyerville Community Center.The Board of Directors of the EATON CORNER MUSEUM have declared the 3 performances a wonderful success.We, the Board of Directors of the Eaton Corner Museum sincerely say \"thank you\u201d to Kendra Parnell and the volunteer actors and stage crew who made this fundraiser possible.Most of these folks started readings and rehearsals the end of August.You folks displayed wonderful community spirit!

involved in positive actions and most of all, be an example of goodness for others.It is our duty as citizens to create a world of peace, love and freedom for our generation and those to come.Change can only be made by adopting these values in our lives.So let\u2019s start creating a better Sherbrooke, a better Canada and a better world united.MIGUËL LAROCHE-MARCOTTE FIRST YEAR STUDENT IN

Pacioretty to miss several weeks with knee injury, Mete also out The Canadian Press Christine Sinclair scored twice Monday to help Canada to a 3-0 win over South Korea at the Algarve Cup soccer tournament.The goals raised Sinclair's career tally to 172, just 12 behind retired American Abby Wambach's international record of 184 goals.Sinclair opened the scoring in the 24th minute, banging home a rebound from her own penalty kick after fullback Allysha Chapman was taken down in the box.Jessie Fleming, a 19-year-old midfielder earning her 50th cap, made it 2- 0 in the 73rd minute with a right-footed shot from the edge of the penalty box from a Sinclair setup.It was her fifth goal for Canada.The 34-year-old captain from Burnaby, B.C., making her 265th appearance for Canada, then padded the lead in the 79th minute by tapping the ball home after a goalmouth scramble.Canada, ranked fifth in the world, improved to 2-1-0 at the tournament after losing 3-1 to No.10 Sweden and beating No.25 Russia 1-0.The Koreans are ranked 14th.Monday's game at the Estadio Municipal de Lagos marked the first cap and start for forward Jenna Hellstrom.Kailen Sheridan started in goal for Canada.The Canadian women improved to 7-1- 0 against Korea.Local Sports Pacioretty has seen his production drop this season.He has 17 goals and 20 assists in 64 games with a defensive rating of minus-16.T uesday , March 6, 2018 Page 7 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Noblecilla and Naji named Provigo, Robert Lafond Bishop\u2019s Athletes of the Week Bishop\u2019s University Edith Noblecilla (Guayaquil, Ecuador/Santo Domingo de Guz- main) of the women's basketball team, and Yassin Naji (Lunel, France/Lycée Pothier Orleans) of the men's basketball team are the Provigo, Robert Lafond Bishop's University Athletes of the week for the week ending Mar.4th.Veteran, Noblecilla scored a game- high 21 points including a 4-6 performance from behind the arc but it was not enough as the No.7 McGill Martlets beat the Bishop's Gaiters 72- 50 in an RSEQ University women's basketball semifinal on Wednesday night in Montreal.Naji had 10 points and put up nine rebounds in the Gaiters 105-67 loss to the No.5 McGill Redmen on Wednesday night in Montreal.The third year forward played 19 minutes for Bishop's in the RSEQ semifinal.The Canadian Press The Montreal Canadiens have announced forward Max Pacioretty and defenceman Victor Mete will miss several weeks as they recover from injuries.Both players were injured Friday in Montreal's 6-3 road win over the New York Islanders.Pacioretty, the Canadiens' captain, suffered a knee injury and is expected to miss four to six weeks, while Mete suffered a fractured finger and is expected to be out for six weeks.The injuries will likely end whatever dim post-season chances the Canadiens were clinging to.Heading into Tuesday's games, Montreal (25-29-11) was 10 points behind Columbus for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.Pacioretty has seen his production drop this season.He has 17 goals and 20 assists in 64 games with a defensive rating of minus-16.The left-winger had been one of the leagues most consistent scorers, reaching the 30-goal mark in five of the past six seasons.He had 15 goals in 44 games in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season.Mete, a mobile rookie defenceman who earned a spot on the team in training camp, has seven assists and a plus-5 rating in 49 games.He also helped Canada win gold at the 2018 world junior hockey championship.Captain Christine Sinclair scores twice

\u201cMarta,\u201d is beautiful and caring but intellectually challenged.I have always encouraged all my kids to do what makes them happy, and she is no different.A couple of years ago, she met a wonderful man through mutual friends, \u201cBrian.\u201d After dating for almost a year, they married last fall.We could not ask for anyone more caring and giving.Brian makes Marta his first priority as a spouse, partner and friend in his life.The reason I\u2019m writing: My second-youngest daughter, \u201cElle,\u201d who is 27, is getting married this fall and wants to invite Marta but not Brian.Elle and her fiance would have preferred to skip this whole ordeal altogether and just get married at the courthouse.But they are doing the wedding his parents want (spending money that is supposed to be saved for a down payment on a house, but I digress).Elle has been really stressed out about it from the outset.They said that they are only inviting people they talk to regularly and that Brian isn\u2019t someone they talk to regularly.Brian and Marta were already saving up money for both of them to go.Additionally, Marta is not capable of getting there herself because of her aforementioned disability.I said all this to Elle, but she still said Brian can\u2019t come.I said, \u201cThen maybe we won\u2019t come, either, because it\u2019s not fair that you\u2019re treating your sister this way.\u201d Now Elle is not talking to me or Marta and blocked my number and my messages online.Am I wrong here?I do understand that they haven\u2019t wanted the wedding from the beginning.But now that they\u2019re having one, I think it would be wrong to exclude her brother-in-law.Family is family, whether you talk every day or not.\u2014 Wedding Woes Dear Wedding Woes: You\u2019re not wrong, but you can\u2019t force them to do what\u2019s right.Though it does strike me as odd to exclude a brother-in-law, this isn\u2019t my wedding \u2014 and it\u2019s not yours, either.If Elle and her fiance don\u2019t want to invite Brian, that\u2019s their mistake to make.Were I to squint hard to try to see a halfway decent rationale for their actions, I suppose I might focus on the fact that they didn\u2019t want a ceremony or reception to begin with.They may not see this as a big deal or understand how hurtful such a snub can be.As for how they expect Marta to get there when she needs Brian\u2019s assistance while traveling \u2014 well, I have no idea what they\u2019re thinking.You and Marta might contact airlines to see what assistance is available for travelers with disabilities, if she\u2019d still like to go.But it would be perfectly OK for her to stay home, too.That would be the bride and groom\u2019s fault and, most of all, their loss.Dear Annie: In this day and age, when one has to be constantly aware of scams, I find it terribly annoying to receive phone calls from people who do not identify themselves when they call.Often when my wife and I get phone calls from fundraising groups or even from doctors\u2019 offices and the like, they ask for my wife or me immediately, without first identifying themselves.What\u2019s the deal?\u2014 Who\u2019s Calling Dear Who\u2019s Calling: If I had to hazard a guess, I\u2019d say the decline of phone etiquette corresponded with the rise of cellphones and, specifically, texting.I completely agree that it\u2019s impolite not to identify yourself when someone answers your phone call.It seems a lot of people never learned that or else have forgotten.I\u2019m printing this as a reminder.Send your questions for Annie Lane to: dearannie@creators.com.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com T uesday , March 6, 2018 Page 9 Wedding invitation snub Dear Annie TOWNSHIPS If you want

Ducking risks a potentially lethal diamond shift \u2014 not that it is here.Then South should lose a club trick.West wins, cashes three hearts and switches to a diamond.Declarer wins, runs the clubs (starting with his king) and plays a spade to the queen.Luck is at home.CROSSWORD Across 1 Easy thing to do 5 Lobster serving 9 Great time 14 Skin opening 15 Tra-__: refrain syllables 16 Main artery 17 Snapchat co-founder Spiegel 18 Cyberzine 19 Parakeets\u2019 quarters 20 Have things finally go one\u2019s way 23 Photo __: media events 24 Charged particles 25 Intl.news broadcaster 27 Singer\u2019s quavers 30 Recently 35 Harry\u2019s pal Weasley 36 Mosquito-borne disease 38 Penne __ vodka 40 Singer Damone 41 Trig ratio 42 Engage in hard-nosed negotiations 47 \u201cJust a __!\u201d 48 Dress-for-success accessory 49 New York Giants legend with 511 career home runs 51 Used a bench 52 Location 53 Sponsors\u2019 spots 56 Make an annual clock adjustment .and what the end of 20-, 36- and 42- Across may literally have 62 Georgia state fruit 64 Smell 65 Gold rush animal 66 \u201cOrange\u201d tea grade 67 Kind of pittance?68 The \u201cA\u201d of NEA 69 Drive too fast 70 New England NFLers 71 Barnes & Noble reader Down 1 Job detail, for short 2 Old Chevy 3 \u201cI smell __!\u201d 4 Crossword solver\u2019s choice 5 Remove dirt from 6 Petting zoo youngsters 7 Bygone apple spray 8 Regular pay 9 \u201cNot so close!\u201d 10 Extended pd.away from work 11 Golden Fleece ship 12 How-to instruction 13 Soviet news agency 21 Sanctified 22 Declare emphatically 26 Drinks in schooners 27 Maria von __, family singers\u2019 matriarch 28 Rich boy in \u201cNancy\u201d comics 29 Groom\u2019s new relative 30 Author Hoffman 31 Foot cover 32 French dispatch boat 33 Guiding principle 34 Standing tall 37 Heinz varieties count, to Caesar?39 Those in favor 43 Failed suddenly, as a laptop 44 URL letters 45 Political fugitives 46 __ profit: make money 50 __ Brothers: defunct financial firm 52 Equine outburst 53 iPhone downloads 54 __-sea diver 55 Drink with sushi 57 Frolic in a lively way 58 Thinking output 59 Currency named for a continent 60 Choir voice 61 Student\u2019s workplace 63 Runner Sebastian "]
