Richmond becomes a Blue Community Page 5 Pre-Piper Classic fundraising concert By Matthew McCully With the Piper Classic coming up on June 22, the Honorary Chairman for this year\u2019s tournament, Jimmy Donnachie decided to get the fundraising golf ball rolling in advance this year with a benefit concert this weekend at The Golden Lion.Happening this Saturday at 9 p.m.the show will feature local band Big River, four fifths of which are Galt graduates.Now in its 11th year, the Piper Classic, a Vegas-style golf tournament held at the Milby Golf Club, is a fundraiser for Galt\u2019s athletics department.It was started by Galt teachers and coaches Robbie Fisk, Steve Dunn and Morgan Quinn as a tribute to the late John Haller, to mark his 32-year career at the school and his dedication to school athletics.According to former colleagues, If Haller wasn't coaching, he definitely Social workers overwhelmed, union says in response to Granby death Record Staff The Alliance du personnel professionnel et technique de la santé et des services sociaux (APTS) issued a response to the population\u2019s heavy criticism of youth protection services after the tragic death of a seven-year-old girl in Granby last week.The APTS is a union that regroups over 55,000 health and social services workers in Quebec.Emmanuel Breton, provincial representative for the Eastern Townships, spoke out about the horrific story, which shook the province to its core.\u201cMembers of the Eastern Townships are deeply afflicted by this tragedy.No child should suffer, or worse, die like this in our society.It\u2019s a heartbreaking story that must absolutely confront collectively,\u201d he began.Breton pointed out that psychoedu- cators, psychologists, special care counselors and social workers are passionate about their jobs.\u201cAll these people deeply care about the well-being of children, and day after day give the best of themselves to fulfill their mission to MATTHEW MCCULLY

partnership with Global Excel, has used this space on page two of the Wednesday paper each week to share news and information about different community groups and organizations working to help Townshippers across the region.Dozens of not-for-profit groups across the region have taken advantage of the Hand in Hand column space to explain their missions and share news about upcoming events.As Publisher Sharon McCully said in her introduction to the project last year, Townshippers are fortunate to live in a caring and generous community where neighbours care for one another and reach out to those less fortunate, but sometimes the work of helping others leaves little room beyond word-of mouth for getting the message out to others.As The Record and Global Excel get ready to start year two of this project together, we want to hear from you about the groups that are out there, hard at work, who we have yet to hear from.By sharing a group you know and care about with the paper, you allow that group to engage directly with The Record's 4,000 daily readers and some 44,000 weekly online viewers, while creating a resource bank of information on services available to people of all ages in the community.If you are a member of a group or organization working to improve the quality of life for others in the community, you are invited to contact The Record to be added to the list of contributors at 819-569-6345 or by emailing newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Even if you don\u2019t have an organization to recommend, keep watching for the Hand-in-Hand column every Wednesday on Page 2 in The Record to learn more about what\u2019s going on in your community.Hand in Hand, what\u2019s it all about?Hand-In-Hand Camp Garagona Camp Garagona is a community- based organisation and charity which runs a residential camp and a full range of social and recreational services, in English and French, with an emphasis on outdoor, artistic and creative activities.Camp Garagona welcomes clients living with an intellectual disability and/or an autism spectrum disorder, coming from all corners of Quebec province, year-round at our beautiful site in Frelighsburg.At Garagona, our campers openly express themselves, learn about and participate in new experiences and most importantly, joyfully take advantage of their stay.At Garagona we consider a camper to be any person who participates in Camp services, such as the Summer Camp, weekend respites throughout the year and Day Camp Services.It may be a person living with intellectual deficiencies and/or an autism spectrum disorder, a child, an adolescent, or an adult.Art exhibition in Frelighsburg While attending Camp Garagona, campers explore various types of workshops such as cooking, art, theater and science.In recent years, the Day Activities Service has been offering activities related to the theme of pollution to raise the awareness of participants to environmental concerns.Recently, we have discussed this topic more often because of campers' interest in it.Out of these discussions was born the idea of developing a public exhibition on the cause.The result of our efforts is PETROART! An artistic exploration of pollution using paintings and recycled frames.Our work is collective, each of us is part of it, whether by a brushstroke, his external eye, his poetry, his title.The method is adapted according to the limits, the strengths and the interests of the users.Each participant is put forward, so after each creation, the team feels a great sense of accomplishment and pride.It's not just a canvas, it's an artistic, social and personal approach.We are very proud to present the PETROART exhibition at the Frelighsburg Art Center to help you become part of our community.The profit from the sales of the works will be used to purchase art materials necessary for the continuation of programs for the creative camp users.The exhibition will take place at the Frelighsburg Art Center, 1, Town Hall Square from June 13 to July 7, 2019 with a grand opening to take place on June 16 from 2 p.m.to 5 p.m. CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 had his finger in the pie as far as cheering athletes and coaches on.After retiring from Galt, he went on to North Hatley Elementary to help with basketball there.The first Piper classis, held in July of 2009, raised $4,000.The tournament continued to grow in popularity, and has raised a total of close to $140,000 over the last 10 years for the Galt athletics department.Donnachie hopes to continue the upward fundraising trend this year.A former Piper, he graduated in 1987.While at Galt, he played football and soccer.\u201cI try and do what I can,\u201d he said.\u201cThey just don\u2019t have the money to do sports anymore.I want to give back to the school and the kids,\u201d he said, explaining why he accepted the role of Honorary Chairman this year.\u201cRobbie (Fisk) does a great job for the school and the kids,\u201d Donnachie said, \u201cand he\u2019s a great mentor.\u201d Funds raised go towards anything from uniforms, to soccer nets, to other equipment, Donnachie explained.A portion is also kept aside for students in financial difficulty, he added.Donnachie took it upon himself to hire the band Big River.He hopes this weekend\u2019s show, similar to the Piper Classic, will bring together Galt alumni for a good time and a good cause.Donnachie had the sneaking suspicion that friends and former classmates might be making it back to the Townships this weekend for brunch with mom.The Big River show will take place this Saturday at The Lion, starting at 9 p.m.Anyone wishing to enter a team in the Piper Classic can get in touch with Robbie Fisk at fiskr@edu.etsb.qc.ca.Wednesday , May 8, 2019 Page 3 Trees will be distributed for ash trees owners on May 18, from 9 a.m.to noon, at Lucien-Blanchard Park.LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Update on Sherbrooke\u2019s ?ght against the emerald ash borer Record Staff The City of Sherbrooke has cut down 459 ash trees from public spaces during its second tree-cutting campaign from October 1, 2018 to March 15, 2019.The City has devoted a budget of $565,000 for tree logging, treatments, and tree planting in its fight against the emerald ash borer, an invasive insect that lays its eggs in ash tree bark, which kills the tree.So far 23 pockets of ash borer infestation have been identified so far on the Sherbrooke territory.Trees located under electrical systems or wilting trees were cut down first.Most of the logged trees were replaced by trees of various species that are indigenous to Sherbrooke\u2019s ecosystem.Sherbrooke will still have to cut down 1,778 ash trees in urban areas.The logged trees will then be transformed into pulp and paper or compost.The next logging campaign should begin on October 1, 2019 and end on March 15, 2020.On private land, 60 per cent of the urban perimeter has been catalogued so far and 152 ash tree-cutting permits were delivered.The City should conclude the ash tree inventory process by the end of summer 2019.Trees will be distributed for ash trees owners on May 18, from 9 a.m.to noon, at Lucien-Blanchard Park.The City has been using a new tool to control the emerald ash borer population since summer 2018.Traps will be set at Olivier-Chauveau and Liège parks, near Mi-Vallon Boulevard and Jacques- Cartier Street, respectively.The Parks and Green Spaces Division will also proceed to a second period of TreeAzin treatment, which may be life- prolonging for ash trees, for 275 public ash trees as of mid-June.176 trees were treated last year.There are 451 public ash trees that will be treated every two years.Those who wish to have their ash trees treated will have access to a discounted rate thanks to the collective treatment plan when registering on the City of Sherbrooke\u2019s website at www.sherbrooke.ca/agrile.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 protect children, sometimes at the expense of their own family and health.They go out of their way to find solutions and alternatives to support families and to respond to the ever-increasing demands despite the substantial lack of resources,\u201d he commented.\u201cToo often, they are criticized, blamed, insulted, even sometimes physically assaulted, but they continue to be involved with Quebec\u2019s most struggling children and families.And yet their work is rarely valued or considered.\u201d According to Breton, staff working in Child and Youth Protection Centres (CPEJ) face difficult conditions in the Townships.\u201cEmployees frequently resort to salary insurance because of burnouts, excessive workloads, and excessive administrative duties.Teams are overworked, out of breath, and are unable to meet demand in several departments,\u201d explained Breton.Evaluation delays are too long, reporting rates have increased with no additional resources, and many positions are left vacant.According to the Ministry of Health and Social Services, the average waiting time is 26 days.However, the Eastern Townships has the worst waiting period in the province, according to a report from Radio-Canada.In fact, they reported that families in the Townships wait on average 61 days for an evaluation.\u201cSocial workers are pressured to reduce waiting lists.They are asked to go faster.That impacts the quality of services.Less time with each client necessarily increases the risks for mistakes,\u201d said Breton.\u201cIt is time to thoroughly analyze the system, the Youth Protection Act, and this province\u2019s services and needs.Things must change before another tragedy happens.It is time to reinvest in social services and health care, the quality of child services and the health of our workers depends on it,\u201d concluded the provincial representative.A seven-year-old girl was found in extremely poor condition at her family\u2019s home in Granby on April 29, where she had been isolated and tied up in the house.She was taken to the hospital, where she died after spending several hours in a coma.Despite her case being well-known by youth protection services, the police, schools, and health services, it was ruled in court that she should remain in the custody of her father and step-mother, who were arrested following her death.Social workers overwhelmed Pre-Piper Classic Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter! sherbrookerecord @recordnewspaper Page 4 Wednesday , May 8, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record We have over 60 animals with us.This fact may be difficult for people to believe since when they look in our \u201cFor Adoption\u201d folders on Facebook; where people are directed to go to see all our animals ready for a new home, they will only see about 25.Why do we have so many that aren\u2019t ready for adoption?We are not just a rescue.We are also a sanctuary.Which means, we do not euthanize animals who cannot be adopted after saving them from being euthanized unless they pose a danger to us.When animals come to us, they stay with us for several weeks so that we can get to know them as well as we can.We let them adjust and relax so that we can get to know their real personalities.There is NEVER any sense in judging an animal when they first come in because their personalities are altered by fear and excitement.Only after they have adjusted to our routine and life do we begin doing testing with other animals, testing with different situations; like grooming\u2026.Once they have adjusted and they test poorly then they still cannot be adopted until we are sure that they will adjust well in a new home with strangers in a fearful environment and some, due to age or illness will always stay with us.If they cannot be trusted out of my hands, they become part of our sanctuary pack, which we have about 11 dogs and 9 cats that fall in that category.Others we hope to be able to work with and help them become ready soon.We have a few that will most likely always stay in our sanctuary pack and we have become their masters, BUT, it does not mean that they do not appreciate and need the same support our animals waiting patiently for a new home deserve.In fact, our guys who live with us permanently need just as much support as all the others.We feed them the best food, they get any vet care necessary and they get bones and toys, which we appreciate support with.One boy who will never leave us is Thunder.Thunder is about 7 years old now.He is a Shepherd mix.When he came in he was FEROCIOUS! Literally, he tried to attack my son, Cody.Because I was at the vet dealing with an emergency, Cody welcomed Thunder in.It was a scary first meeting for Cody.For weeks, handling Thunder had to be done with extreme care.But what happened over those weeks was Thunder became VERY attached to Cody.Funny, since he wanted to eat him when he met him, but then Cody became this dog\u2019s master.Since that time, which was over a year ago, Thunder continues, despite many efforts involving a muzzle and mocked situations, to show a serious distrust in strangers and will lunge with no warning.Since he knows us and trusts us, he is now balanced and a good boy, but out of our hands he is not trustable.Therefore, Thunder is part of our Sanctuary pack.Also in our Sanctuary Pack is Tasha.Tasha is a Rhodesian mix and she came to us over 3 years ago now.She came in a snarling and snapping mess.Over time, she adjusted and began to enjoy her new routine and new friends, BUT, she is still VERY distrusting of strangers.She will still snarl and snap at a stranger.Because I cannot trust her out of my hands, she too is part of our Sanctuary Pack.Our Damon has been part of our Sanctuary Pack for 4 years now.In all he has been with us for almost 6 years and he is going on 8 years old.Damon is a Red Nosed Pittbull who was never good with other male dogs.He is good with females; infact Candy (our female pit- tbull) is his best friend, but not good with males.When he first came in, he went on a few trials over the first year or two, but each time he came back to us with another issue.When he left he was good with cats, but because of an experience in a trial with a stray cat, he became afraid and very aggressive with them.After another trial he came back timid of strangers.Damon grew to flourish and adjust with us.He has friends who he loves to play with and we all adore him so, to keep him safe and happy, he became part of our Sanctuary Pack where he can live his life in peace and never have to be put in any dangerous, for him, situations.We are his family.We have 5 other dogs who are a permanent part of our Sanctuary Pack and 8 dogs who we are working with to get to a point where we know them well enough to find them the perfect home.While some have dislikes, or quirks, it just means they will need to find the perfect home, which is why we work hard to get to know them well to be able to find them that.The rest are either for adoption or waiting for vet care needed to be able to be adopted.In all, we have 34 dogs with us.ALL of these dogs, whether they are part of our Sanctuary Pack or dogs we are working with, or dogs who will soon find a new home, are who benefits from your support and help.So, while their photos are not on the page, or in the album, know that they ALL need and appreciate your support.As do we.We all thank you.This page is provided by Blue Seal - The Animal Nutrition Centre and The Pet Connection.\u2022 C O M E I N A N D S E E O U R L O V E LY S E L E C T I O N O F M O T H E R \u2019 S D A Y G I F T S H e l i u m b a l l o o n s \u2022 C a r d s \u2022 F l a g s \u2022 H o r s e l o v e r g i f t s \u2022 G i f t s e t s \u2022 Ya n k e e C a n d l e s a n d s o m u c h m o r e !

\u2022 The votes will be weighted by riding, to ensure regional representation, and will take place in two rounds where party members will rank candidates by order of preference.\u2022 Young people aged 25 and under will have one third of the voting power, as laid out by the party\u2019s constitution; \u2022 Votes can be cast via telephone or online; \u2022 The race will be no longer than 7 months, with the starting date to be confirmed within the next few weeks; \u2022 The maximum amount for campaign expenses is set at $500,000, excluding the deposit of $60,000 submitted in support of a candidate\u2019s nomination forms; \u2022 To support their nomination, candidates must collect the signatures of 750 members in good standing from at least 70 ridings and 12 regions.250 of these signatures must come from people who became members in good standing after May 5, 2019; The rules governing the leadership race are available on the Liberal Party website.Over 600 Liberal supporters from all of Quebec\u2019s regions took part in the General Council, which organizers say represents the largest number of participants at a General Council since 2015.\u201cThe Quebec Liberal Party\u2019s renewal is well underway,\u201d said Pierre Arcand, Interim Leader of the Quebec Liberal Party.\u201cSupporters from all of Quebec\u2019s regions sent a clear message that they are ready to build Quebec\u2019s future.The QLP\u2019s strength is bringing people together and this event once again proved that to be true.We are on the road to victory in 2022.\u201d Richmond becomes a Blue Community Record Staff The town of Richmond has received a Blue Community certification by Eau Secours, an organization that promotes water protection and management in an environmentally-conscious, equitable, and accessible manner.In order to obtain the certification, the town committed to recognize the human right to water and basic sanitation, to promote the public management of water, and to progressively eliminate the sale of water bottles in municipal buildings and during events.After Danville\u2019s certification on January 28, Richmond has become the Townships\u2019 second Blue Community and the ninth in all of Quebec.The certification was delivered by Alice-Anne Simard, Eau Secours\u2019s general manager, with Richmond Mayor Bertrand Ménard.\u201cWith our new well, that cost over $800,000, and our constant investments to improve our drinking water installations and our sewage treatment plants, we are glad to receive this certification.Our goal is not only to gradually eliminate the sale of plastic water bottles in the town\u2019s installations, but it is also to send a clear message that the town of Richmond is and will be a town that protect everyone\u2019s access to a high quality water at a low cost,\u201d said Ménard.Eau Secours congratulated the residents of Richmond, as well as the town\u2019s administration, for working to wards becoming a Blue Community.\u201cThe Blue Community project has received significant interest since our campaign\u2019s launch, just six months ago.We are glad to see Richmond add itself to the list of Blue Communities, with Amqui, Danville, Nicolet, Rivière-du-Loup, Montreal, and Trois-Rivières, which have made this important commitment towards the protection of water as a human right,\u201d said Simard.The Blue Community project is an initiative that began in 2009, resulting from a partnership between Blue Planet Project, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, and the Council of Canadians.It is coordinated in Quebec by Eau Secours.The province on its own now regroups over 10 per cent of the world\u2019s Blue Community. By Kyla Tienhaara Canada Research Chair in Economy and Environment, Queen's University, Ontario It\u2019s the third period of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs and we\u2019re trailing, badly.It\u2019s time to pull the goalie and send out the top forward line.We don\u2019t know if we can actually win, but we\u2019re going to give it everything we\u2019ve got.In hockey-obsessed Canada, this is an appropriate metaphor to explain to the public why we need a bold and comprehensive strategy to tackle climate change.We\u2019re running out of time to avoid catastrophic levels of warming and what we have been doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions hasn\u2019t been working.It\u2019s time to try something new, like The Pact for a Green New Deal, just launched by a large coalition of youth, workers, Indigenous leaders, artists and scientists.The plan would see Canada cut emissions in half in 11 years \u2014 in line with what the world\u2019s scientists have demonstrated is necessary to avoid the worst impacts of climate change \u2014 and do so in a manner that will \u201cleave no one behind.\u201d A growing movement In proposing a Green New Deal, the Canadian coalition joins a growing movement that aims to dramatically shift the scope and speed of action to address the current ecological crisis.While many will associate the Green New Deal with Rep.Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez, the freshman United States congresswoman from New York, the idea has actually been floating around for more than a decade.It\u2019s also not an exclusively American idea.The framing obviously draws on American history and the original New Deal.However, President Franklin D.Roosevelt\u2019s plan was heavily influenced by British economist John Maynard Keynes.It is, therefore, quite appropriate that the Green version was born in the U.K.with the formation of the Green New Deal Group in 2007.More recently, the shadow treasury minister, Clive Lewis (Labour), and U.K.Green Party MP Caroline Lucas jointly tabled a Green New Deal private member\u2019s bill in British Parliament.The European Greens also have a longstanding Green New Deal manifesto.Last month, the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) launched a Green New Deal proposal that would see ¤500 billion invested per year to transform Europe\u2019s infrastructure and energy systems.And Spain\u2019s Socialist Party was just reelected on a Green New Deal Platform.Further afield, Korea launched a Green New Deal in 2009.In the same year, the United Nations Environment Program proposed a Global Green New Deal that largely focused on how G20 countries could maximize the environmental benefits of fiscal stimulus packages rolled out in the wake of the global financial crisis.Recent calls for a Global Green New Deal are more ambitious in their suggestions for overhauling existing multilateral institutions that govern the global economy and making reparations to less developed countries.What\u2019s new about the Green New Deal?If the idea of a Green New Deal has been around since 2007, why all the fuss about it now?And is everyone who is using the term actually talking about the same thing?Ocasio-Cortez deserves much of the credit for making the Green New Deal both exciting and accessible.But there has also been an important shift in the scope of Green New Deal proposals, which may account for some of their increased popularity.The main element that all Green New Deals share is that they are government- led.As noted in the Canadian proposal, \u201cthe federal government, in collaboration with all other levels of government and Indigenous Nations, has the capacity to pull this off.\u201d The focus on government leadership distinguishes Green New Deals from the neoliberal approaches such as creating markets or voluntary industry standards that have been the dominant response to the ecological crisis in most countries for the past 30 years.While Green New Deal proposals share a Keynesian interventionist economic model, they differ in other respects.Most of the Green New Deals proposed and implemented immediately following the global financial crisis in 2009 were based on the theory of ecological modernization and accordingly focused on investments in technological solutions.Today\u2019s proposals have a stronger focus on environmental justice; they call for investments in technology and infrastructure, but also highlight the structural inequality that is endemic in the current economic system and seek to address it.For example, the U.S.Green New Deal includes universal health care and a job guarantee.The Canadian proposal has a strong focus on upholding the rights of Indigenous peoples, many of whom are at the front line of the resistance to contentious resource projects.The idea of a strong role for government and justice-focused outcomes may get the neoliberal commentariat all hot and bothered, but their \u201cEek, socialism,\u201d scaremongering doesn\u2019t appear to be resonating with the public.Arguably, supporters of the Green New Deal should be less concerned about the influence of the right-wing pundits railing against the idea and more about the real intentions of some industry leaders who are eager to get involved.The fossil fuel industry has recently shifted from a focus on manufacturing uncertainty about climate change to qualified support for carbon pricing and could change tactics again if there is an opportunity to secure public handouts through a Green New Deal.The nuclear industry is already positioning itself to benefit.Keeping the Green New Deal both green and just will be an uphill battle.But it is one worth fighting.Kyla Tienhaara receives funding from the Canada Research Chairs program (Government of Canada).EDITORIAL Page 6 Wednesday , May 8, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Recent calls for a Global Green New Deal are more ambitious in their suggestions for overhauling existing multilateral institutions that govern the global economy and making reparations to less developed countries.TO THE EDITOR On Monday a report was released by a UN-affiliated group that confirmed that human activity is causing serious damage to our planet.While this has been known for a quarter century or more, the report drew attention to the frightening rate at which we are contributing to the extinction of both plant and animal species around the globe, and the loss of the biodiversity that ensures our own existence.What can we do?This paper regularly runs a small column entitled Do Just One Thing.The one thing I\u2019d like to see that might be one miniscule step towards curbing the harm we do is to shut off our idling engines.Twenty years ago it was in the depth of winter that I\u2019d notice people sitting in their idling cars.Now I see it in all seasons.I notice empty idling cars at the post office.I spot a spouse sitting in an idling car in the grocery store parking lot.Not to mention the parent who sits for a quarter of an hour in front of the elementary school waiting for their child.You\u2019d think that even if these motorists were totally oblivious of their unnecessary CO2 emissions, they\u2019d at least be conscious of the money they\u2019re wasting on gas.It seems not.Would some sort of public awareness campaign help?In the meantime, if you\u2019re going to do just one thing.turn off that idling engine!

Piatti has played in just three games this season, scoring three times.He has 66 goals in 127 career MLS games.The Impact have held the fort to the best of their ability without their star, posting a 3-3-2 record over the last eight games and holding down third spot in the Eastern Conference.But the Impact have lacked scoring punch, with just one multi-goal game over that span.Montreal is also coming off a 2-0 loss to Red Bull rival New York City FC at home.\u201cOn the field, he's easy to find,'' Impact midfielder Saphir Taider said.\u201cWhen he's not there, you have to make do and adapt.But it's true when he's on the field, he frees up space.'' \u201cHis absence feels cruelly felt,'' Garde added.\u201cA guy like Saphir works well with Nacho and takes advantage of his presence.He often attracts two or three players around him to free space for his teammates around him.'' The injury list also doesn't stop at Pi- atti.Defender Bacary Sagna will miss a second straight game Wednesday as he recovers from a sore hamstring.The Frenchman practised on his own Monday morning but he will not fly to New York.However, Garde didn't say whether or not he could join the team in Cincinnati later in the week.\u201cWe try to manage as best as we can to have more bodies available for these two games,'' Garde said.Since the injury in March, Piatti has spent most training sessions at the Centre Nutrilait running by himself or with fellow injured players.He recently began training with the team, but he left last Tuesday's practice early with what turned out to be muscular soreness.Garde suggested that the soreness may be the result of the knee injury he suffered.\u201cIt's a blow,'' Garde said.\u201cWe don't want to complain.We have to find solutions.So far, we have done pretty well on that.'' The Impact won't have too much time left to lick their wounds from their loss to NYCFC Saturday evening at Saputo Stadium.Montreal will face a Red Bulls team that is coming off back-to-back wins over FC Cincinnati and the Los An- geles Galaxy.\u201cThey've changed their style of play in their last two games,'' Garde said.\u201cBut they've kept their principles which is to be aggressive and high press their opponents all the time.We'll need to adapt to that.'' \u201cWe'll go to New York with the desire to take points and be a tough road team to continue our good start to the season,'' Taider added.

And at the end, love wins.We love, forgive and, with time, forget.\u2014 Forgiving and Forgetting Dear Forgiving: Congratulations on repairing your relationship with your brother.Healthy and strong family relationships are a gift and can serve to strengthen our own self-esteem and sense of love and support in the world.I am printing your letter to show others who are going through similar situations that they are not alone, that there is hope and that being patient can be a gift.Your group therapy sounds wonderful.Thanks for sharing your experience.Dear Annie: I\u2019ve been working at the same company for the last 10 years.It\u2019s a small of?ce that trains temps, so we have new people all the time.I train them on of?ce work.Though I\u2019m friendly with each new employee, it\u2019s rare for me to get to know people on a deep level when they only stay for a few months or so.So, we normally talk about TV or what we\u2019re eating for lunch or light gossip around the of?ce.We recently hired a new girl for the temp program, and I\u2019ve never seen her eat more than a few veggie sticks for lunch.I jokingly asked about it the ?rst day.She said she\u2019d forgotten to buy groceries.But this has been going on for a few weeks now, and she\u2019s already thin as a rail.I don\u2019t feel very comfortable approaching her about her eating habits, but I also don\u2019t feel comfortable watching someone waste away either.I don\u2019t know much about eating disorders, so I was hoping you could help me on how to approach this \u2014 or not.\u2014 Concerned Coworker Dear Concerned Co-worker: Matters of health are incredibly sensitive and, in the context of the workplace, best handled by the human resources department.Express your concerns to HR and not to any other colleagues.Also, see the National Eating Disorders Association\u2019s Workplace Toolkit at https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/learn/help/wo rkplace, and call the NEDA\u2019s hotline at (800) 931- 2237 if you\u2019d like further guidance.Dear Annie: We are a group of senior citizens who get together once in a while.We invited a few couples over to our house for dinner.One of the couples just asked if they could bring their neighbors.We have NEVER asked if we can bring our neighbors to one of their events.We feel the request is inappropriate.How do we politely decline?\u2014 Puzzled Dear Puzzled: To have brought their neighbors without asking would have been inappropriate, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s rude for them to have simply asked.Try to give them the bene?t of the doubt: Perhaps their neighbors are lonely and have been trying to make more friends.That doesn\u2019t mean you have to agree to let them come over; I\u2019m just sharing that to try to offer some understanding.In any case, all you have to say is, \u201cWe\u2019d like to keep it to just us, but we appreciate your asking.\u201d Dear Annie: You answer a lot of questions about in- ?delity, jealousy and therapy.This is a different way to look at it: Sex is 80 percent fantasy and 20 percent physical.The physical part is the same whoever your partner is.It\u2019s the fantasy part that creates the excitement.That\u2019s how they sell magazines and love stories.No one buys Playboy for the news articles.Remember the excitement and fantasy of your honeymoon?It might have gotten a little routine and unexciting over the years.The key is to recreate the fantasies for your partner.Then you can make love to anyone in the world and never leave home.Just have fun.It\u2019s cheaper than therapy, and it stops the arguing and complaining about each other.\u2014 Happy Dear Happy: Thank you for your amusing and insightful letter.I love the idea of looking at what you can create with your partner and having happiness and excitement as goals.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

seem like no amount of handwashing can get rid of the smell, one kitchen condiment can work wonders: mustard.Grab a jar of the yellow stuff from the fridge or open a packet from the junk drawer and rub on your hands.It works for two reasons: The vinegar in mustard helps break down smells, and the mustard seed itself is a rube- facient, which means it causes dilation of capillaries when it comes in contact with skin.This combination makes mustard a naturally amazing deodorizer.Diet and exercise are integral parts of the formula for a healthy life.Though few people may look forward to giving up certain foods in favor of more nutritious diets, healthy, low-calorie foods don\u2019t have to be boring and bland.Breakfast smoothies are a great way to maximize nutrient profiles and flavors to achieve a filling and fast meal.Smoothies that capitalize on tropical tastes rife with fiber can tame hunger and offer a jolt of energy to get you through the day.Such is the case with this recipe for \u201cFiber-Filled Banana Colada Smoothie\u201d from Ellen Brown\u2019s \u201cSuper Smoothies\u201d (Crestline).This recipe offers fruits with wonderfully complementary flavors that are both high in fiber and rich in supercharged nutrients like potassium, vitamin A and vitamin C.Fiber-Filled Banana Colada Smoothie Yield: Four, 1-cup servings 1 cup light coconut milk 1 cup diced pineapple 1?3 cup lightly packed shredded unsweetened coconut 1?4 cup whey protein powder 2 tablespoons bee pollen 1?2 teaspoon pure rum extract 2 cups banana slices, frozen 2 tablespoons grated coconut for garnish Combine coconut milk, pineapple, coconut, whey protein powder, bee pollen, and rum extract in a blender or smoothie maker.Blend on high speed for 45 seconds, or until mixture is puréed and smooth.Add banana slices, and blend on high speed again until mixture is smooth.Serve immediately, garnished with grated coconut, if desired.(Metro Creative) Enjoy a taste of the tropics for breakfast Page 12

up a flight of stairs?I just can\u2019t help myself.There\u2019s something about my mind that always wants to keep counting.\u201d She would make an excellent bridge player.Counting stairs is great practice for bridge, where counting winners, losers, points and so on, is so important.What does West need to count in this three-no-trump deal?How does East give his partner the key piece of data?Against three no-trump, West leads a fourth-highest spade seven: five, queen, king.What should happen after that?South starts with six top tricks: one spade (the first trick), one heart and four clubs.He will play on diamonds to establish the extra winners that he needs.Then, when West wins with his ace, he needs to know how many spades declarer has left.Trick one told West that South started with the spade jack, because East would have played the jack if holding both the jack and queen.Here, the jack is now a singleton, so West must cash his spade ace.But if South still has two spades, West must shift to a heart, hoping partner has the ace as an entry.Then East can push a spade through South\u2019s jack.West must wait until the third round of diamonds to win with his ace.Then, East must discard the spade two, bottom from a remaining odd number.Since West knows that East would never discard his last spade, he must have begun with four.So, West will know to cash the spade ace and run the rest of the suit.That is good cooperative counting."]
