Ayer\u2019s Cliff Fair Grounds June 1 & 2, 2019 Sara Lebourveau celebrates 107 Page 3 You can\u2019t get there from here Editorial - Page 6 Princess Elizabeth students awarded music bursaries By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record Twenty-nine students from Magog\u2019s Princess Elizabeth Elementary School (PEES), from kindergarten to Grade 6, were awarded a year\u2019s worth of private music lessons for the instrument of their choice through the James E.Conners\u2019 Foundation on May 15.The James E.Conners\u2019 Foundation was created to encourage young musicians to explore their musical talents.Since the beginning of the program, in 1986, hundreds of young students at PEES have benefited from private music lessons.Following a concert in the gymnasium by last year\u2019s recipients, the eager students awaited as four names per grade were drawn to receive the bursary awarded by Harvey Catchpaw, president EMILIE HACKETT Harvey and Rachel Catchpaw and Roxane Johnson posed with this year\u2019s recipients of the music bursary awarded by the James E.Con- ners Foundation at Princess Elizabeth Elementary School.\u201cEverybody helps\u201d The women of the Wales Home Ladies Auxiliary preparing for annual fundraising day By Gordon Lambie There are over 600 items on display in and around the Wales Home living room right now as a part of the Wales Home Ladies Auxiliary\u2019s annual silent auction.\u201cIt\u2019s our biggest fundraiser of the year,\u201d said Joyce Cinnamon, President of the group, inviting anyone who is able to come by the home for a look around between now and \u201cpencils down\u201d time at 3 p.m.on Saturday, May 25.To call the event \u201cbig\u201d sells the point a bit short.In 2018, the auction alone brought in more than $10,000 of the $13,828 that was raised through the Ladies\u2019 various fundraising efforts throughout the year.All of that money, Cinnamon said, goes directly back to the residents in different ways.From weekly teas and monthly birthday celebrations, to stocking and operating the home\u2019s tuck shop, the ladies use the funds raised in every way they can to make life better for the residents.\u201cEveryone does their thing,\u201d Cinnamon said, \u201ceverybody helps.\u201d Jane Carson, for example, is in charge of purchasing for the tuck shop, which CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 4 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 As a writer, I strive for accuracy.So it\u2019s been a bit of a struggle to find the right expression to describe my life since prostate surgery six months ago.Am I living with cancer?No, the cancer is out of me.Does that make me a cancer survivor?Well, no, the cancer could always come back, although the longer I go without cancer reoccurring, the less likelihood it will.So when expressions fail, as a writer, I turn to metaphor.I\u2019ve decided that my cancer is a thermonuclear warhead in my neighbour\u2019s backyard.It just shows up one day.Before then, he was a quiet neighbour, lived a moderate lifestyle, not someone you\u2019d think would bring home a thermonuclear device.Indeed there were no warning signs that a weapon of mass destruction was ever in the offing.Not content to simply have a warhead in his backyard, the neighbour sometimes pulls out a ladder, climbs to the top of the warhead and whacks it with a giant hammer like some kind of crazed Looney-Tunes character.Or he takes some other tools and rips open panels marked \u201cDO NOT OPEN! THREAT OF DETONATION! KABOOM!\u201d Sometimes the warhead hums and buzzes, with the occasional ticking sound.And the thing is, I don\u2019t even notice! I have no idea my neighbour has a thermonuclear warhead in the backyard until one day I go see the police for another matter, and they say, \u201cOh, by the way, we think your neighbour might have a thermonuclear warhead.We\u2019re going to check.\u201d They check.\u201cYup, that\u2019s a thermonuclear warhead, all right.We\u2019ll take care of it.\u201d Weeks go by, and I can think of nothing but the fact that there\u2019s an armed thermonuclear warhead next door.Eventually, though, the police disable the nuclear warhead.They strip it of all the parts that can cause it to explode (which would be bad for the neighbourhood, I assume it goes without saying) and take away all the neighbour\u2019s tools for good measure.What a relief! \u201cProblem solved,\u201d the police say, and I am filled with gratitude.And yet they leave the warhead itself behind.\u201cDon\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll check in from time to time,\u201d they say.\u201cBut what if he starts tinkering with it again?\u201d I protest.\u201cWhat if he orders replacement kaboom parts?Gets new tools?\u201d \u201cWell,\u201d the police say, \u201cwe hope not.\u201d And they\u2019re off.So now, six months later, I\u2019m still living next door to a thermonuclear warhead, albeit a dormant one.But the police do one more thing before they go: they take away my tools as well.No more woodworking for me.\u201cIt\u2019s a small price to pay, no?Better than being blown to bits by a thermonuclear warhead?\u201d \u201cBetter than being blown\u2026?\u201d \u201cTo bits, yes.You\u2019re welcome.\u201d I really liked woodworking.Maybe I wasn\u2019t woodworking as much as I was in my twenties, but I sure enjoyed it.Sometimes, even when I wasn\u2019t woodworking, I would spend time thinking about woodworking.Sometimes I just whittled a little.\u201cAre my woodworking days really over?\u201d I ask the police.\u201cWell, with any luck, you might be able to woodwork in a year or two, but it\u2019s very possible you\u2019ll never woodwork again.But, hey! We got rid of that thermonuclear warhead for you!\u201d \u201cBut it\u2019s still there,\u201d I point out.\u201cIt\u2019s fine.Probably.Also: have you ever tried working with Play-Doh?\u201d So that\u2019s how I live my life now: next door to a neighbour with a dormant thermonuclear warhead, and no more woodworking.Most days, I don\u2019t think about any of it, just go about my business.But then I\u2019ll catch site of my neighbour pensively fiddling with electronics.Or I\u2019ll see a nice piece of knotty pine.And then I remember.That\u2019s my life with and without cancer.All I can hope is that over time my neighbour will become increasingly bored with the thermonuclear warhead in his backyard and that his trips out back to tinker with it, get it humming again, will become less and less frequent until one day he forgets about it altogether.Eventually, the warhead will start to rust and crumble and will no long pose any kind of threat.By that time, of course, I likely would have retired from semi-regular woodworking anyway, or at very least only be working with softwoods.That\u2019ll probably be when the meteor strikes the house.But that\u2019s a metaphor for another time.Ben by Daniel Shelton Weather TODAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH OF 15 LOW OF 4 FRIDAY: RAIN HIGH OF 13 LOW OF 5 SATURDAY: CLOUDY HIGH OF 16 LOW OF 7 SUNDAY: CLOUDY, 60% CHANCE OF SHOWERS HIGH OF

Record Staff Following in the footsteps of similar projects that have taken place in communities like the Town of Brome Lake, Cowansville, Dunham, and Frelighsburg, the city of Magog is inviting its population to come dance together tonight at the parc des Braves for the filming of a video in the Faire danser un village series.\u201cYou don\u2019t need to prepare anything in advance, we\u2019re taking care of everything,\u201d said Magog Mayor Vicki-May Hamm.\u201cCome with your friends and family; we promise you a memorable experience.Help us make our downtown shine all across Quebec.\u201d Several different locations, highlighting local businesses and attractions, are planned, and the project organizers are counting on the participation of students from the école secondaire de la Ruche and employees of the city to help make the filming a success.Prospective participants are encouraged to show up for 5 p.m.this evening, and all are welcome.Those who show up will be taught a small choreography in order to help keep the dance consistent across different scenes.The filming will take place rain or shine.The finished film will be screened for the public on the evening of June 13, although plans are in the works to hold a special preview for those who come to participate.The Magog project marks the third edition of the \u201cFaire danser un village\u201d project, following its first edition in the Town of Brome Lake, and the follow-up last year in Cowansville, Dunham, and Frelighsburg.The project is the initiative of Marie-Claude Lord and Maude Lecours , and draws on the creative talents of a number of local artists including Cow- ansville singer Édouard Lagacé, Sherbrooke poet and journalist Mélanie Noël, and TBL\u2019s own Amos Joannides.Magog inviting residents to

Lebourveau celebrates 107 By Gordon Lambie At the end of April, Sara Lebourveau turned 107 years old and celebrated with a gathering of friends and family at the Wales Home.The home\u2019s oldest resident, Lebourveau remembered her party with a smile as she spoke of all those who came from near and far to wish her well and share a cake she said was beautiful.\u201cIt was trimmed up nice with candles,\u201d she said.Asked about her life at the home the 107 year old said that she is fond of musical events.\u201cI like the violin music,\u201d she said, adding that while she also enjoys \u201cgood singing,\u201d she \u201cdoesn\u2019t care for screeching.\u201d Lebourveau also spoke very kindly of her great-granddaughter, Becky Gilchrist, who works as a licensed practical nurse at the home and can therefore stop by for a visit almost daily.\u201cI don\u2019t know what I would do without her,\u201d the resident shared.GORDON LAMBIE Sara Lebourveau just recently celebrated her

Saturday morning, cleaning up the Provigo parking lot in downtown Lennoxville.Armed with brooms, spades, and rakes, our crew of volunteers spread across the terrain and picked up litter, gravel, and dead leaves.A large turnout of helpers allowed us to complete the work by mid-morning, and the great response from customers and passers-by was truly heartwarming.The activity was a pilot project aimed to benefit the community, raise awareness for local environment, and promote the value of working together for a common goal.PHOTOS COURTESY OF DID GORMAN Record Staff Alain Rayes, Member of

Cloutier, a former PEES student and bursary recipient who tragically passed away in 2011 at the age of 14.The bursary was presented by Cloutier\u2019s mother, Heather Catchpaw.\u201cMatthew really loved music,\u201d said the Foundation president.\u201cHe was very talented, and I truly believe he could have been great in the music world.\u201d Harvey Catchpaw has been working hand in hand with Roxane Johnson, piano teacher at PEES, for over 33 years, as Johnson has helped organize the recital year after year.Dozens of students performed songs on the guitar and on the piano, with the addition of one singer.Songs ranged from Disney movie soundtracks to Star Wars leitmotifs to classical pieces and pop songs.Last year\u2019s recipients proudly showcased the new skills they acquired through their lessons, while some were lucky enough to see their name drawn again this year.\u201cFirst of all, congratulations everybody!\u201d he declared.\u201cMusic is a special thing and we are glad to help you discover it and create a passion.My own daughter was a recipient back in the 1980s, and she went on to become a passionate teacher who loves the arts, so when I look at this room, I see the potential of what you can all achieve,\u201d he added.Catchpaw went on to thank teachers and the school administration, as well as his wife, Rachel, who helps him with the Foundation.\u201cWhen we started the foundation, it was a bursary that was offered by Vivian Bice to help a few students receive music lessons.She wanted it to be under her father\u2019s name.Then, when she passed, she left a substantial amount of funds to the foundation which allowed us to help more and more kids every year,\u201d explained Catchpaw.\u201cNow, we also seek to raise money so that we can familiarize as many children with music as we possibly can.\u201d Every year, the number of applicants for the bursary increases.This year, 72 students registered for the draw and 29 lucky ones were picked.Princess Elizabeth Page 4 Thursday , May 16, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record \u201cEverybody helps\u201d CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 is open for residents twice per week, on Tuesdays and Fridays.\u201cI go shopping usually every other week or so,\u201d Carson said, explaining that she picks up items like cosmetics, clothing, and other necessities.At work in the role for about ten years now, Carson said that she tries to pay special attention to the things the residents want and any special requests.\u201cI find things for them,\u201d she said.Rhoda Worden, meanwhile, volunteers her time to run bingo games for the residents.She said that she also helps out in whatever other ways she can.\u201cWhen there are events going on and they need the residents from Norton brought down, they need extra help,\u201d she said, explaining that she is happy to be available as a helping hand whenever possible.\u201cI became a member because my mum was here, and my aunt,\u201d Worden added.\u201cWhen you come every day, you might as well get involved.\u201d Cinnamon had no special story for joining the group, despite her current position as president.\u201cI just got on the bandwagon,\u201d she said, recalling being encouraged by another member and continuing from there.\u201cJoyce just asked me,\u201d Carson said, sharing that when she joined she had recently retired and was interested in helping out.\u201cIt\u2019s a good cause, and (the residents) enjoy the visits,\u201d she added, explaining that she tries to be present for those people who have no family close by.\u201cWe\u2019re always looking for recruits,\u201d Cinnamon said, noting that there is no limitation on where ladies come from.\u201cIf people wanted to come from the exterior and help too, that\u2019s great.\u201d Although the Ladies Auxiliary is obviously a women\u2019s group, the president also shared that doesn\u2019t mean that there is no room for work to be done by men.\u201cA lot of our husbands pitch in,\u201d she said.\u201cWe\u2019re lucky to have them.\u201d Margot Langeveld, who has been in charge of setting up the silent auction in the living room for the last ten years or so, said she and her husband Simon spent the full day at the home this past Monday just organizing and arranging donations.\u201cIt is a big job,\u201d she said, pointing out the different collections of auction lots arranged around the room and down connected corridors.\u201cWe appreciate people donating every year,\u201d Cinnamon added.\u201cWe\u2019re very lucky that we live in such a wonderful community where people do support our auxiliary and the seniors.\u201d Looking ahead to May 25, the president highlighted the fact that there are several different fundriaisng events people can enjoy that day.In addition to the auction, a \u201cwhite elephant\u201d sale of used items and a bake sale will both begin at 1:30 p.m.The bake sale, silent auction, and a special quilt raffle will all wrap-up at 3 p.m.while the white elephant sale will continue until 3:30 p.m.Those who come out to the fundraising day are also encouraged to drop in for tea in the dining room between 2 p.m.and 3:30 p.m.\u201cEveryone is welcome,\u201d Cinnamon said.GORDON LAMBIE The women of the Wales Home Ladies Auxiliary have been hard at work this week and last preparing for the annual silent auction, their biggest fundraiser of the year 30th Annual ETSB Grade 3 Math Competition Friday, May 3rd marked a very special day for our ETSB community.It was the 30th anniversary of our annual Grade 3 Math competition, hosted by Waterloo Elementary School.Kim Grav- eline, Ashley Lawrence and their WES team hosted 13 teams from across the ETSB from Farnham to Sherbrooke.These teams participated in this fun day by working together in teams of 4 to solve various math and logic problems.These 13 teams were competing for the Roxton Award for the overall highest points total for the day as well as for the World\u2019s Finest Teamwork award for the team who scored the highest points total for the group work sections.The day began with the first of 5 sections of the competition where teams worked individually followed by 2 sections where they solved problems in pairs.After a short break, teams regrouped to complete the last 2 sections of the competition as a whole team of 4.The WES student hosts from Grades 5 and 6 coordinated the distribution of the questions while our volunteer judges graded answers and tallied points.After a lunch served by local community members the prizes were awarded.The Roxton Award for the highest overall points total for the day was awarded to the Farnham Team.Coming in second place was the Sherbrooke Mathletes followed closely in third place by the Sherbrooke Smarties Team.First place finishers Farnham Team took home the plaque along with a t-shirt while the other 2 teams also received t-shirts with the ETSB math logo.The second award of the competition, the World\u2019s Finest Problem Solvers Teamwork Cup, was awarded to the Sherbrooke Mathletes.Rounding out the top three teams were the Farnham Team in second place and the Sherbrooke Smarties Team in third place.The winners from Sherbrooke received the trophy along with prizes and gift cards courtesy of Andrew Retchless of Aunt Sarah\u2019s Chocolates.All participants received goodie bags courtesy of the ETSB, Aunt Sarah\u2019s and several other donors.The day was an enormous success due largely to the generous donations from our sponsors, particularly the ETSB, Aunt Sarah\u2019s Chocolates, DAK Soudure Inc., KDC One, Waterloo Legion Branch #77, and Sérigraphie Nationale as well as some private donations.We would like to extend a huge thank you to the Waterloo students from Grades 5 and 6 as well as the WES staff, community members Jocelyn St-Ger- main, Daniel St-Germain, Hope Sturte- vant, and Monique Wigger who prepared and served lunch, the numerous sponsors, John Wilson, Tamera Had- lock who distributes the math information to the schools, as well as the volunteer judges.Finally, we would like to thank the parents and supervisors who brought the students to the event and last, but not least, the students.Without you, we would not be able to keep this ETSB tradition alive for our young mathematicians.Here\u2019s to another 30 years of math fun! Thursday , May 16, 2019 Page 5 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com This annual activity is a great opportunity to create links between young people in the community.The Border Report New Friendships: Stanstead College comes to SPARK On Thursday May 9, Stanstead College held a community service afternoon.Nineteen students from the college chose to attend Phelps\u2019 Spark session.The Stanstead College students were paired with the elementary participants from Grades 3-6 for activities focusing on teamwork and self-confidence.A challenging relay race started the afternoon to help break the ice and build the relationship between the pairs.In their pairs, Phelps\u2019 participants interviewed their Stanstead College partner and told them about themselves.They made self-portraits on the pavement with chalk, outlining their whole body.In the portrait, they were encouraged by the Stanstead College students to highlight their strengths and things that they like about themselves.This annual activity is a great opportunity to create links between young people in the community.Phelps is grateful to have this partnership with Stanstead College and have a chance to introduce students from the two schools, which face each other across Dufferin street in Stanstead.It was wonderful to see so many valuable connections being made throughout the afternoon activity.One eight-year-old shared that, \u201cit was one of the best days I had all year!\u201d Phelps was founded in 2012 and has grown organically from a single high school tutoring program to nine unique programs, providing the Stanstead area with free educational and career support.For more information or to volunteer, please email us at info@phelpshelps.ca, visit our website www.phelpshelps.ca or

and make your way to our cat adoption open house this coming Saturday.It\u2019s a weekly event that takes place every Saturday from 10 a.m.to noon and although admittedly, we may be a little bias, we have some REALLY GREAT cats patiently waiting to find their perfect forever homes.We have young cats and older cats, outgoing cats and shy cats, playful cats and not so playful cats, skinny cats and fat cats and pretty much everything in between.We also have 11 kittens who come in a wide array of colours.With kitten season in full swing, this is a busy time of year for cat rescues.For every cat or kitten adopted, we can help another in need.Here is just a sampling of our magnificent adoptable cats.Tanner is a sweet, friendly and outgoing little tabby cat.He is very affectionate with people and the minute you sit down he will make his way over and plop down beside you or will snuggle up on your lap.Tanner loves to be pet and purrs instantly.He also really loves other cats so if you already have a cat (or two) and are looking for an addition to your family who won\u2019t upset the apple cart, Tanner is a great choice.He is 3-4 years old but looks like a kitten.Squirt is a beautiful, playful and very social cat who struts around, seemingly without a care in the world.He is friendly, curious and will happily come to you to say hello and perhaps enjoy a few pats.Squirt has a great personality and we have no doubt that once adopted, he will quickly settle into his new routine.Squirt is 4 years old.At approximately 10, Tiger, is one of our seniors.If you are looking for an affectionate and outgoing cat, look no further.The minute you sit down Tiger will be by your side in search of pets and affection.He seems quite at ease with change and should do well in just about any home as long as he gets as much love as he has to give.We know not everyone is open to adopting a senior, but Tiger is a great cat and he deserves to live out his life in a home where he is pampered and loved.Romy is a sweet and talkative girl who is calm and loving and very content to sit by the window and watch the world go by.She loves attention and loves to be pet.She will benefit from losing some weight, but this is easily managed through a healthy diet and controlled feedings twice a day.Romy has the most beautiful colouring and being so easy going, Romy should do well in just about any home.She is 4 years old.To meet these or any of our other fabulous cats, you can visit during our cat adoption open house at 2405 Griffin (Ogden) between 10 a.m.and 12 p.m.If you are looking for a kitten, we will be posting them shortly but, in the meantime, feel free to call our cat adoption coordinator Linda at 819.868.2684 for more information.Tanner Squirt Tiger Romy By Gordon Lambie Bishop\u2019s College School is on the lookout for a new Head.According to a timeline laid out on the school\u2019s website, the school\u2019s current Head, Tyler Lewis, announced his plan to leave the school in November of 2018, although the posting for the position was only recently made public.Lewis came to the school in 2015, picking up the reins from William Mitchell, who stepped out of retirement for what was meant to be a two-month interim role in June of 2012.Mitchell will now be returning to the interim role to help keep the school and its current development projects on course while a search committee works to interview and recruit potential candidates.The application deadline for the Head of School position is September 1 of this year, with interviews to take place over the month that follows.If all goes as planned, the new permanent Head of School will be announced at the end of the month of October, and will take over as of July 1, 2020.Little known fact: there are places in Boston that you can\u2019t drive to unless you actually start your journey on the street you want to visit.I know this to be true since I once tried to find a friend who was studying at Harvard.Admittedly this was in the pre-GPS era and all I had to go on was a map of the city and detailed directions written by the same friend.After approximately three hours of driving around the city I was no closer to arriving at my destination.This was primarily due to the fact that central Boston, much to my chagrin, seemed to be composed entirely of one-way streets, none of which appeared to go where I wanted.At one point I could see the building I planned to visit but this was the best I was able to do.In the end I had to settle for a parking spot about a block away and walk to my ultimate destination.The one saving grace was that I didn\u2019t have to listen to a Siri-like voice saying \u201cRe-calibrating\u201d over and over.I write this as a warning to motorists trying to navigate the streets of Sherbrooke from now until the end of what I like to call the 3D season: digging, delay and diversion.Anyone brave enough to face anything from a \u2018quick\u2019 trip to the grocery store to a major drive to the Carrefour shopping plaza will immediately empathize with Stanley\u2019s trek across Africa in search of Dr.Livingstone.Although, even Stanley had nothing more than a bit of jungle, the occasional river and a mountain or two to impede his progress.I decided that the best way to illustrate this was to reprint a short excerpt from my journal.Dear Diary, 9:30: Off to the pharmacy to pick up my monthly medication.Backed out of the driveway and headed down the hill.Two bocks later was forced to make a left hand turn, the road being closed to \u2018thru traffic.\u2019 Proceeded north for one block and ran into a large pile of gravel covering the entire street.No warning, so was forced to reverse direction.9:41: Turned right and proceeded up the hill.Passed my house.Turned right and proceeded north once again.Noticed an orange \u201cdetour\u201d sign pointing east.Turned and started downhill for the second time.Traffic reduced to one lane by three city employees, one actually holding a \u2018stop-go\u2019 sign.The others presumably helping.9:45: Directed straight through stoplights by sign-wielder since no left turn allowed.Followed directions on detour sign making left turn for one block and then left again.Arrived at main street which was closed.Forced to head up hill by another sign-waving specialist.9:51: Street clear for one block but no parking available.Stopped once again, this time by non-city sign-waver.Waited while entire population of local primary school crossed street obviously taking part in some sort of cross-town marathon.Proceeded west dodging multiple teachers involved in monitoring stragglers from the aforementioned marathon.10:00: Decided to turn left and circle back to destination.Street blocked entirely by another city work crew involving a group of six with two trucks and a backhoe.No indication, once again of street closure.10:04: Reversed direction and headed back from whence I came.Students all gone but replaced by a semi trailer desperately trying to find a way out of the borough and back to the relative safety of the autoroute.Waited while he attempted to turn his rig around in a space designed for a mid-sized Fiat.10:15: Followed detour sign once again taking a quick left then a right for three blocks and then another left.Traffic moving smoothly at last.No sign of city work crews, no gravel, no digging- Made final right into my own driveway.10:20: Decided I didn\u2019t really need the medication anyway.EDITORIAL Page 6 Thursday , May 16, 2019

study that said smelling junk food you want to quit eating \u2014 hello, pizza and donuts! \u2014 will stop your craving.Is that really true?I want to eat healthier, but some foods are so hard to resist.Dear Reader: This particular theory hadn\u2019t crossed our radar until we read your letter, but we did a bit of digging and found the study you\u2019re referring to.It was conducted by researchers at the University of South Florida and published at the start of the year in the Journal of Marketing Research.The study\u2019s findings were as you say \u2014 the sustained scent of a tempting snack food had the effect of easing the craving for that snack.That\u2019s somewhat ironic, considering the point of the study was to examine more closely the practice of using ambient scent in public settings as a marketing ploy.These ambient scents are part of an increasingly common practice in which retailers infuse areas with seductive smells to act as \u201caroma billboards,\u201d as one advertising company put it, to drive food sales.Anyone within sniffing distance of a Cinnabon stand in a mall has directly experienced this technique.Stories about the practice mention chocolate-scented strips placed on vending machines in California that caused the sales of Hershey bars to triple, a grocery store in New York whose bakery sales spiked whenever the scent of fresh-baked bread was pumped through the aisles, and the use of a variety of hidden scent machines throughout Disney properties to encourage spending.The practice is used in nonfood-related marketing, too, with a variety of pleasant scents used to make shoppers subliminally happy in order to loosen their purse strings.According to the study you asked about, it turns out there\u2019s an important catch when it comes to the scent- driven marketing of food: The researchers found that whether or not a scent triggered a craving was directly related to the amount of time someone spent smelling it.The tests were conducted in several sites, including a grocery store and a middle school cafeteria.Researchers used a hidden nebulizer, which is a device that broadcasts scent.Individuals were exposed to alternating pairs of scents, one of a healthful food, and one of a junk food item.The scent of strawberries was paired with the aroma of chocolate chip cookies, and the scent of apples was paired with that of pizza.A quick whiff of a cookie \u2014 30 seconds or less \u2014 often led to the cookie being selected rather than the strawberry.But when the cookie scent lingered for 2 minutes or more, the cookie lost its allure, and participants chose to eat the strawberry instead.The apple-pizza combo had the same time-dependent results.The takeaway is that by inhaling the scent of a tempting food long enough, you\u2019ll move past craving it and arrive at the point where the scent itself has satisfied the craving.A final word \u2014 this was a single experiment on a complex subject, and scientists, including the res - earchers, agree further study is needed to fully understand the results.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Smelling junk food long enough may quash a craving THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2019 Today is the 136th day of 2019

there\u2019s no disputing that a delicious breakfast can be a great way to begin a day.Freshness can go a long way toward making breakfast something special.For example, fresh peaches make this recipe for \u201cPeach Bruschetta with Blue Cheese\u201d from Christopher Hirsheimer\u2019s \u201cThe San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmer\u2019s Market Cookbook\u201d (Chronicle Books) something to savor.The dish also works as an appetizer and can be made with nectarines.Peach Bruschetta with Blue Cheese Serves 4 4 slices country bread 2 peaches Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing 1?4 pound blue cheese, gorgonzola or Blue Castello cheese Preheat the broiler.Arrange the bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet, slip under the broiler and toast, turning once, until golden brown on both sides.This should take only a few minutes.While the bread is toasting, halve the peaches lengthwise, pit them and then peel each half.Cut each half lengthwise into 1?4-inch-thick slices, keeping the shape of each half intact.When the bread is ready, remove from the broiler and brush each slice on both sides with olive oil.Spread one-fourth of the cheese on each slice of warm bread, place a sliced peach half on top, and serve.(Metro Creative) Enjoy a refreshing breakfast Page 12 Thursday , May 16, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Your Birthday THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2019 A conservative approach to money,

life, your money and your future.\u201d There are times at the bridge table when you just have to take an educated guess.For example, in today\u2019s deal, North made a takeout double over West\u2019s one-spade opening, South advanced with two hearts, and it was North\u2019s turn again.What should he have done?Having no idea how to find out if partner had the rounded-suit queens, he just blasted into six hearts.Then he sat back to watch his partner struggle! How should South have played after West led the spade king?Declarer hoped clubs would split 3-3, but realized that if they were the more likely 4-2, he would have to ruff them good, and probably would need a diamond ruff in hand too.His plan was to lose only one trump trick.South ruffed the spade lead on the board and cashed the heart ace, club ace and club king before leading the club three.East followed the general principle of not ruffing a loser in front of declarer.(If East ruffs and returns his last trump, declarer has two hearts remaining with which to ruff a club and a diamond.) When East discarded a spade, South ruffed, crossed to the diamond king and led the club eight.After East pitched his last spade, declarer ruffed, led a diamond to the ace, ruffed the diamond six and trumped a spade.East overruffed and returned a diamond, but South ruffed on the board, cashed the heart king and took trick 13 with the club two!
