feeling the chill Page 5 Ice storm 20th anniversary By Matthew McCully It was on this day 20 years ago that a state of emergency was declared in parts of Ontario and Quebec due to one of the worst ice storms in recorded history.The storm, which began on Jan 5, 1998, left 1.3 million without power in Quebec and Ontario; some didn\u2019t regain electricity until early February.When the storm first struck many Townshippers were unaware of what lay ahead.After several days in the dark, the scramble for heat began.Anyone in the neighbourhood with a wood stove or a generator became everybody\u2019s best friend.Venturing out on the road was dangerous because of falling trees and branches and downed power lines.Those who did brave the roads looking for water, batteries, food and other supplies often encountered stores that were unable to remain open, huge lineups and bank machines that had run out of cash to dispense.It was a time when neighbours, families and friends pooled resources and worked together to check in on each other, make sure people had their basic needs covered and kept morale high during a challenging and uncertain time.In the coming weeks The Record will publish a special section looking back on the ice storm and the impact it had on Townshippers.Readers are invited to share their memories from the ice storm and any pictures they may have.Submissions can be emailed to newsroom@sher- brookerecord.com or delivered to the office at 6 Mallory.RECORD ARCHIVES Townships emergency rooms are well beyond capacity Record Staff SHERBROOKE The CIUSSS of Estrie-CHUS is calling on people to consult their family doctor or their family clinic before heading to emergency rooms, which are already bursting at the seams throughout the territory.The occupancy rate exceeds 100 per cent for emergency rooms at CHUS- Fleurimont, CHUS Hôtel-Dieu, the Memphrémagog Health and Social Services Center, and the Granby and Cow- ansville hospitals.According to Director of General Services Lyne Cardinal, 60 per cent of people who come to emergency rooms have a less urgent state of health and could consult other than in the emergency room.Cardinal says that while she understands that parents can get worried when a child has a persistent fever, coughs or other symptoms, a call to Info-Santé (811) is usually sufficient.Emergencies mainly involve people with respiratory problems, pneumonia, flu-like symptoms, or a fall on the ice.There are currently 49 cases of influenza diagnosed, mostly in Sherbrooke and Magog.Some 85.2 per cent of Estrie residents have a family doctor.Health officials recommend consulting Info-Santé (811) or a family physician On Saturday, December 16, the Mis- sisquoi North Volunteer (CABMN) Youth Centre held its Annual Drop-in Christmas dinner at the centre located at 282 Principale in Mansonville.With close to 70 in attendance, the evening included a delicious turkey meal prepared by Norma Clifford, Judith Ball, Laurette Rouleau, Pat McGovern and June Peacock and included donations of food from parents and youth.The meal was followed by games and a draw for a new colored television which was won by Kimmy Charby a member of the SADD and Drop-in groups.There were other draws for prizes and those in attendance were then encouraged to join the youth for a game of ping pong, pool, air hockey or just to sit and visit.Youth in attendance included those from Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), Junior SADD, Former Youth Involvement (FYI), Drop-in youth and the children of FYI committee members as well as invited guests from the community and committees.The room was transformed into a beautiful dimly lit scene with Christmas lights and decorations, music and a tree.A buzz of joyous visiting and exchange of good wishes filled the room.This event is held each year and has become a much anticipated exchange.The youth, staff and committees of the YC wish all who attend, volunteer, support and kindly contribute to the Centre, a happy and healthy New Year.For more information about the Youth Centre programs visit www.cabmn.org or call the Youth Centre at 450-292-4886.Ben by Daniel Shelton

lawyer for the traffic controller the night of the Lac- Megantic derailment says his client had no need to check with the conductor whether he had adequately secured the train before leaving for the night.In his closing arguments Friday, Guy Poupart said Richard Labrie had a limited role in the tragedy in which 47 people were killed when a runaway train carrying crude oil derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic in the wee hours of July 6, 2013.Labrie, train conductor Tom Harding and Jean Demaitre, the manager of train operations _ who were all employees of Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway _ have pleaded not guilty to a charge of criminal negligence causing the death of 47 people.The Crown has argued the tragedy could have been avoided if Labrie and Demaitre had asked pertinent questions about whether the train had been secured the night before the derailment.The prosecution has said neither man deemed it necessary to check with Harding to see how many handbrakes had been applied and whether tests had been conducted _ even though firefighters had extinguished a blaze at the lead locomotive shortly before the tragedy.The firefighters also cut the engine, which meant the air brakes were not functioning.Poupart used his closing remarks to refer to the testimony of several people who described Labrie as competent and reliable and someone they trusted.And that mutual trust, Poupart argued, is the reason Labrie did not have to ask Harding whether the brakes had been properly secured.Harding had stopped the train on top of a slope in nearby Nantes before it began moving on its own, barrelling into Lac-Megantic.As Quebec provincial police had informed Labrie of the earlier fire, the Crown has argued he should have checked with Harding about the brakes.Poupart said while it is true his client did not do that, he added, \u201cit is true he didn't have to do it.\u201d \u201cRichard Labrie was entitled to expect the train to be immobilized according to requirements, regardless of whether the engine was on,\u201d Poupart told the 14 jurors.He also told them Labrie had a limited role in the tragedy as he was actually 200 kilometres from Lac-Megantic when the train derailed.Labrie, he continued, could not know about possible mechanical issues with the lead locomotive if he was kept in the dark.\u201cHe isn't able to foresee things if he's not told about them,\u201d Poupart said.The lawyer added that a good portion of the Crown's evidence did not concern Labrie and he asked they take that into account when they begin their deliberations.The Crown argued in its closing arguments Wednesday that Harding applied only half the required level of brakes and didn't test them to ensure they were working properly before he left for the night.Demaitre's lawyer had his turn Thursday and Harding's attorney is expected to address the court on Monday before Quebec Superior Court Justice Gaetan Dumas gives his instructions to the jury.Monday, January 8,

Lambie Bistro Kaapeh, the Mexican café that has become a fixture of Sherbrooke\u2019s downtown since its opening in 2013, is starting off 2018 with an expansion into Lennoxville\u2019s Champlain College.Although the café\u2019s owner was unavailable to speak with The Record on Sunday, a post on the business\u2019s facebook page at the end of last year shared the business\u2019 excitement about the new project.\u201cWe\u2019re starting out 2018 with a new adventure,\u201d the December 30 post reads, \u201call thanks to the encouragement of our clients, our suppliers, our partners, and our marvellous Kaapeh team.\u201d According to Champlain Campus Director Nancy Beattie, the counter is currently being installed in the corner of the student lounge that once contained vending machines, and marks a response to feelings that have been shared by students and staff of the college for more than a decade.\u201cFood service hours on campus don\u2019t always meet Champlain\u2019s needs,\u201d the campus director said, explaining that since all food services on campus are offered through Sodexho\u2019s agreement with Bishop\u2019s University, food services on campus typically drop off during times when the college is in session but the university is not.Adding Champlain\u2019s location on the edge of campus to the equation, Beattie said that the new partnership with Kaapeh just makes sense in terms of giving the population of the college an option for food and drink close at hand.\u201cIt\u2019s still under construction,\u201d Beattie said, estimating another two weeks before the café can officially open.On the choice of this particular business, the campus director said that the college and café share similar values.Lac Megantic trial:defence lawyer says his client

Maintenance and Roads will be removing snow banks along streets with sidewalks that began Sunday evening will last approximately five nights.The City points out that citizen collaboration can greatly facilitate these operations and urges citizens to respect the regulation banning parking on the streets, between midnight and 7 a.m.in force until March 14, and to get their garbage bins out on the morning of collection and to put them away as soon as possible.Warmer temperatures coming Record Staff Townshippers can expect some relief this week as temperatures return to normal values., with a brief warm spurt expected Thursday.In the Townships, the extreme cold alert issued by Environment Canada ended around noon Sunday in anticipation of a sudden increase in temperatures ranging from -5° C to -1 C Monday.In Sherbrooke, a maximum of -4° C is expected.On Thursday, the mercury is expected to rise to 6° C.The area can also expect 2 to 4 centimeters of snow.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter! sherbrookerecord @recordnewspaper Record Staff The Cookshire-Eaton Ultramar had a close call Saturday morning when a truck carrying propane barely avoided a collision with a motorist and ended up hitting the station\u2019s sign announcing the price of gasoline.The driver of the truck was a volunteer firefighter and knew that if he hit the vehicle he could kill the occupants, and aimed for the signpost.If the sign had not been there, the truck could have hit the pumps and damage could have been considerable.The accident brought down the sign and damage is estimated at between $8,000 and $10,000, according station owner.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, January 8, 2018 Page 5 WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS Would you like to win a pair of tickets

OVATION.ca Well Inc.loan registry process comes under ?re from Councilors Record Staff SHERBROOKE Sherbrooke City Councilors Pierre Avard and Pierre Tremblay are slamming the process put in place by City management to allow citizens to express their disagreement with a proposed $26 million loan.The load would allow the City to finance the construction of a parking lot and a public space on Wellington St.South.Avard and Tremblay are suggesting the process has been designed to stifle any possibility of achieving the 8,702 signatures required to hold a referendum.\"When you start a registry signing process, knowing in advance that the number of signatures required is mathematically impossible to achieve given the short time period for signatures, the only place available to sign the registry, and the timing of the chosen year, it is quite easy to conclude that everything has been done to ensure that the target is never achieved,\u201d Avard says in a joint communiqué issued Friday.\u201cFor me, it's clear this registry is a totally bogus exercise.\u201d \u201cMoreover, all of this was confirmed to us this morning in La Tribune, when the chair of the Executive Committee (Nicole Bergeron) doesn\u2019t recognize any importance in the registry since she totally ignores it in her intervention and totally disregards the democratic aspect of the process, and it seems that for Madame Bergeron, this request for a loan by-law is only a formality, no matter what the citizens think,\" he added.Tremblay, in turn said that the exercise demonstrates an incredible lack of respect for citizens, and adds that, \u201cwith the results of the last election and everything we heard in our door-to-door campaigning, it seems to me that the message of the people was quite clear.In the Tribune article, the City explained that because of the \"urgent \"nature of the file, they want to know the population\u2019s verdict before the council meeting of January 15.Tremblay wants answers to several questions, including who allowed themselves to speak on behalf of the City, who decided that it was necessary to proceed as of January 3, during the holiday season and who decided that the City was in an emergency situation while the Well Inc.project presentation has been postponed to February 15.He also wondered who decided to go ahead while the Council is inactive and why it\u2019s necessary to know the verdict of the population before the January 15?Finally, Tremblay questioned whether the City\u2019s strategy is to declare that the failure to achieve the objective of the 8,702 signatures indicates popular support to the Well inc project.Councilor Paul Gingues is also concerned about the lack of information received by members of the municipal council.\u201cThe news that such an important process is going on in the middle of the holiday season seems to me quite abnormal, especially since it is a very sensitive political issue.and it\u2019s concerning that the way it is being done makes it impossible for citizens to demand, democratically, a referendum, a perfectly legitimate exercise in a democratic world,\u201d he said.Gingues concluded by mentioning that the lack of transparency in the process surrounding the register sends a very bad message at the beginning of the mandate.Close call in Cookshire-Eaton Ski hills feeling the chill By Gordon Lambie For the last several winters, the big question hovering over local downhill ski centres has been about snow cover.A series of warmer winters have prompted regular speculation about the future of the winter sport.With consistent, lasting snowfalls across the region so far this winter however, snow is not the issue.The cold, however, is a different story.With ground-level wind chills surpassing the -40 Celsius mark over the last few weeks, it has not been a great time to go and enjoy the outdoors.\u201cWe haven\u2019t had as many skiers as we had hoped,\u201d noted Chloe Chagnon, communications coordinator with Mont Sutton.In a season where hills like Mont Or- ford have already closed completely on several occasions due to dangerously cold temperatures, Chagnon said that Sutton has been very lucky even if numbers aren\u2019t quite what the business would like.\u201cWe have a lot of trees, and that helps with the wind,\u201d the communications coordinator said, explaining that the amount of glade skiing on the mountain means that even if the temperatures are cold, the wind chill factors that would otherwise become even worse at the top of a mountain were not as bad.As a result, she said Sutton has been able to keep all of its trails open to whoever chooses to show up.Chagnon noted the dedication of the skiers who have been out during the cold snap, adding that she has seen some of the same people out day after day.\u201cOur skiers really love skiing,\u201d she said.Although physical harm might be the first thing people think of when it comes to very low temperatures, Chagnon pointed out that ski hill equipment is also vulnerable to the cold.In speaking of Sutton\u2019s luck, she added that there has not been any equipment failure over the last few frosty weeks.Looking on the bright side, the communications coordinator pointed out that the cold temperatures have been great for snowmaking, meaning that once the temperatures do get back to a slightly more comfortable range, conditions on the slopes should be ideal. By Morgan Lowrie THE CANADIAN PRESS An extreme cold warning didn't deter members of Montreal's Catholic community on Saturday, as they braved a chilly walk up Mount Royal to commemorate the 375th anniversary of the raising of the cross on the summit.Several dozen people sang Christmas carols and New Year's songs as they marched in -20 C weather behind leaders who were dressed in 17th century outfits and carrying a wooden cross.The walk was led by Montreal Archbishop Christian Lepine as well a man and a woman dressed as Montreal founders Paul de Chomedey de Maison- neuve and Jeanne Mance.Lepine said De Maisonneuve, a French military officer, first erected a wooden cross on Mount Royal on Jan.6, 1643, to thank God for sparing the city from flooding.\u201cOn Christmas Eve, there had been a rising of the St.Lawrence River and they were afraid to lose everything,\u201d he said in an interview.\u201cSo they prayed to God and said, 'If you spare us this flood, I'll put a cross on Mount Royal.\u201d' The march ended with a ceremony that included a brief moment of silence and a prayer service beneath the giant LED-lit cross that now tops the mountain.Stephen Otvos, a priest from the diocese, described Saturday's event as \u201cbeautiful, although cold.\u201d \u201cWe commemorate that day (when the cross was raised), but also our time together as a Christian community, and to share the message that the cross is a sign of love for all humanity,\u201d he said.The current illuminated steel cross, which is over 30 metres tall, was erected in 1924 after local volunteers selling stamps raised over $10,000 towards its cost.The 26-ton structure looms over the city's skyline and is visible from up to 80 km away on a clear day, according to the city.It has been renovated several times, and has been lit by LED bulbs since 2009.Lepine says the cross remains an important symbol for many Montrealers, whether or not they're religious.\u201cIt's part of the face of Montreal and it's a (symbol) that it's important not only for those who believe in Jesus Christ but also for all Montreal and greater Montreal to rally around,\u201d he said.By the time you read this, the Great Cold Snap of \u201917 is supposed to have relaxed its iron grip on Quebec.From Boxing Day until the week after New Year\u2019s when the streets become littered with the corpses of Christmas trees, we, the hardy people of this land, were treated to relentless extreme cold temperatures with the only respite a day-long break for a howling blizzard.According to Environment Canada, this year-end cold streak is one of the worst since the end of the last ice age, a mere 12,000 years ago.Mother Nature, if one permits, has been a bit of a \u2026 witch so far this winter, a reckoning, we suspect, for her having inadvertently served up a glorious fall.We humans, with our wits and resources, find ways to cope with this lip- chapping, nose-dripping, finger-cracking, draught-leaking, fur- nace-exhausting, pipe-bursting cold.Our animal friends who live outdoors don\u2019t have such an easy go of it.It\u2019s been days since we\u2019ve seen a bird of any type dare flee whatever shelter it\u2019s found to grab a beak-full of seeds from our feeder.Same too, the pair of grey squirrels who had been conditioned Pavlov-like to show up in the morning for their breakfast of peanuts in the shell.We suspect they\u2019ve wisely holed up somewhere and are not willing to freeze their bushy tails for a free snack.Of course, if you\u2019ve got a pair of wings - why didn\u2019t humans evolve them, by the way, Mr.Darwin?- you have a choice: Flee south, as some 350 North American species do.Why some do, and some don\u2019t is another one of life\u2019s mysteries.Then there are the hard-core winter- beaters, the hibernators.Although humans have been known to lard up before winter sets in and then binge watch Netflix series until spring, bears, some rodents and bats are the champion hivernal hermits.Now, though, thanks to the wonders of medical science, human hibernation could become a viable option for those wishing to snooze from Halloween to Easter and skip five months of winter.In other words, you could avoid the deep freeze by going into a deep sleep.The quest for human hibernation takes renewed inspiration from the case of Mitsutaka Uchikoshi, a Japanese man who wandered away from a barbeque in October, 2006, and fell down a mountain slope.Searchers found the 35-year- old office worker 24 days later in a state of what has been called the first documented case of human hibernation.Though he had a broken hip and his body temperature dropped to 22 degrees Celsius, Uchikoshi made a full recovery.Ripley\u2019s Believe It Or Not says he stayed alive initially by \u201csipping water and barbeque sauce.\u201d Japanese media called him the \u201cbear man.\u201d Barbeque sauce is not likely the miracle concoction being studied by teams of scientists around the world bent on finding a way to safely put humans into extended periods of sleep.The challenge is to resolve practically what science fiction books and movies have done imaginatively by putting space ship passengers to sleep while their craft speeds across the universe at time- thwarting warp speed.The more immediate goal of the research are such missions as the voyage to Mars that global mastermind Elon Musk has in the works for 2024.The Space-X trip would take between three and six months, and the ships would have a capacity of 100 passengers.Based on the food and drink requirements of a long-distance airline flight on Earth, putting passengers to sleep with food tubes in their tummies would seem to make economic sense.The approach taken by a team from Atlanta- based Spaceworks Enterprises, armed with a $500,000 grant from NASA, would be to put passengers and crew into \u201clow metabolic torpor state\u201d for limited period on a fixed schedule, so that not every space traveller is zonked out at the same time.Should such experiments get to the human trial phase, one suspects Quebec would have an ample supply of guinea pigs - or make that bear people - eager to hibernate through the depths of winter for the betterment of humanity.EDITORIAL Page 6 Monday , January 8, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record According to Environment Canada, this year-end

Dylan Konecny After falling to the eventual Gold medal winners Canada, 7-2, in their semifinals matchup at the World Juniors in Buffalo.Sherbrooke Phoenix forward Marek Zachar and the Czech Republic still had a shot at the Bronze medal last Friday to close out their 2018 World Junior Championship against the host nation, team USA.The Czechs held strong in the first period and after twenty minutes the European nation trailed by a score of 1-0, after giving up a short-handed goal to Trent Frederic.However, in the second period the flood gates opened \u2013 just as they had against Canada \u2013 and team USA managed to score six goals to take a 7-0 lead into the final period.The game finished with the Czechs losing the Bronze medal game by a score of 9-3.\"We wanted to be better but we did- n't,\" said Filip Zadina to reporters after the game.\"In the semi-final and tonight, there's a reason we lost.At least we scored three goals in the third, but they got a goal on our power play in the first, which wasn't good.Fourth is good for the Czech Republic now, but we wanted to bring home a medal.\" After shocking the hockey world in the preliminaries with a 3-1 record \u2013 including a 5-4 win over Russia \u2013 and again in the quarterfinals with a 4-3 shootout win over Finland.The Czech\u2019s game fell apart allowing 16 goals in their last two games.The last time the Czechs earned a medal was a 3-2 overtime win over team USA for bronze at the 2005 World Juniors in Grand Forks, North Dakota.Nonetheless, fourth is the best Czech finish since \u201805, and that is a tremendous accomplishment.Zachar, the Czech captain, finished the tournament with three points (1G, 2A) in seven games, including the game winning goal in a 6-5 win over Belarus.He is the first Phoenix player to have suited up on the World Junior stage since Kay Schweri and Tim Weiser did for team Switzerland in Toronto and Montreal at the 2015 World Junior Tournament.BUFFALO, NEW YORK - JANUARY 5: USA's

Sweden 3-1 to win the world junior hockey championship Friday night.With the mostly red-and-white, Maple Leaf-flag-waving crowd still celebrating, Alex Formenton then sealed Canada's 17th gold medal victory by scoring into an empty net 26 seconds later.Canadian captain Dillon Dube also scored in a game Canada never trailed.Carter Hart stopped 35 shots, a year after he was in the net in a 5-4 shootout loss to the United States in the championship game.Drake Batherson set up the decisive goal by forcing a turnover behind the Sweden net.From the left corner, Batherson fed Timmins just inside the blue line.Timmins then fed a hard pass into the left circle, hitting Steenbergen, who swept the puck behind goalie Filip Gustavsson, who was set at top of this crease.Tim Soderlund scored for the Swedes, who settled for winning their 11th silver medal.Sweden is 0-4 against Canada in the championship game, including consecutive losses in 2008 and '09.Gustavsson stopped 25 shots.Kieffer Bellows broke Jeremy Roenick's U.S.single-tournament record by scoring ninth goal in the Americans' 9-3 win over the Czech Republic in the bronze-medal game earlier in the day.Trent Frederic scored four times and the earned a medal for a third straight year to mark the nation's longest streak in tournament history.The U.S.also finished third in 2016, while upping its medal total to 11 (four gold, one silver and six bronze).Two of the third-place finishes coming in Buffalo, where the tournament was also held in 2010-11.It was essentially a home game for Canada, with much of the arena filled with fans who flocked across the border from southern Ontario.A rendition of \u201cO Canada\u201d could be heard being sung from the arena foyer 45 minutes before puck drop.The Swedes were booed each time they took to the ice to open a period, and \u201cGo, Canada Go!\u201d chants were prevalent.Canada struck first on Dube's goal 1:49 into the second period.Jordan Kyrou set up the play on the transition by driving up the middle, with Dube on his right wing.Entering the zone, Kyrou slipped a pass into the right circle to Dube, who found a crease between defencemen Timothy Liljegren and Rasmus Dahlin.With Liljegren hanging on Dube's back, the Canadian captain snapped a hard shot that beat Gustavsson over the left shoulder.It marked the first time in seven tournament games in which the Swedes trailed.They rolled through the preliminary round by going 4-0 and out-scoring their opponents by a combined 20-7 margin.Sweden then edged Slovakia 3-2 in the quarterfinal and then built a 4-0 third -period lead and hung on to beat the United States 4-2 in the seminfinal on Thursday.The Swedes responded by capitalizing on their speed and play-making skills by scoring their tournament-leading fourth short-handed goal and third in two games.With Lias Andersson serving an interference penalty, Linus Lindstrom burst up the ice and gained the Canadian zone and cut toward the middle to draw the defenceman toward him.Lindstrom then dropped a no-look pass to Soder- lund, who was at full speed along the right wing.Cutting to the net alone, Soderlund banked a shot in off the near post.Canada certainly had its chances in the third period by failing to capitalize on two power-play opportunities in the final 9:06.The best chance came with just over five minutes left.Kyrou had the puck in the left circle and threaded a pass through the slot to a wide-open Taylor Raddysh, who redirected the pass off the right post.Canada entered the game with a tour- nament-leading power play, which had gone 13 of 23.Against Sweden, the Canadians went 0 for 6.Parity had caught up to Canada over the past decade.Since winning a tour- nament-record five consecutive titles from 2005-09, the Canadians have on won just one gold medal, in 2015 with Edmonton Oilers captain Connor Mc- David on the team, three silvers and a bronze.Last year, Canada lost the championship, and on native soil in Montreal, no less, in a 5-4 shootout to the United States Hart was the losing goalie last year in a game Canada squandered a 4-2 third- period lead.Leading into the tournament, Canada coach Dominique Ducharme's message to his players was to be one step better in every aspect of their preparation and play.Canada won the Group A standings with only one blemish, a 4-3 shootout loss to the United States in a game played in snowy and conditions at the NFL Buffalo Bills' New Era Field last week.The Canadians had a goal disallowed 12:13 in when Gustavsson made the initial stop but had difficulty covering up the puck in his crease.The puck came free and Dube swept in under the goalie, but the play was immediately waved off by referee Robin Cir, who ruled he had already blown his whistle.

Elizabeth Ko, M.D.Dear Doctor: I never have headaches, but I have visual disturbances that I believe are migraine auras.They\u2019re not bothersome and clear up within 10 minutes.But are they dangerous in any way?Am I having a migraine?Dear Reader: When we venture into the area of migraine, we\u2019re entering the unknown.It\u2019s one of the leading disorders in the world, and yet when it comes to understanding how or even why migraines occur, we are just beginning to find answers.The word \u201cmigraine\u201d calls up the idea of a monster headache, but the disorder is in fact a collection of symptoms.Sufferers can experience nausea, dizziness, depression, exhaustion, sensory hallucinations, severe neck pain and, as you know firsthand, visual disturbances.Until recently, migraine was thought to have vascular origins.That is, researchers believed it was the result of the constriction and expansion of blood vessels within and around the brain.With the advent of highly sensitive imaging technologies, however, and thanks to volunteers who have allowed the course of their migraine attacks to be visualized in real time, the focus has now shifted to the brain itself.At UCLA, we\u2019re extremely fortunate to have the Headache Research and Treatment Program, headed by Andrew Charles, M.D., a neurologist and a leading migraine specialist.It\u2019s through his research that we now know that fluctuations in brain chemicals, as well as abnormal electrical activity in certain regions of the brain, play a significant role in migraine attacks.This includes not only the extreme headache pain associated with migraine, but the other symptoms as well.In fact, the throbbing, pulsating nature of a migraine headache, once considered to reflect the sufferer\u2019s heartbeat, is now believed to sync up with brain waves.All of which brings us to your question.Visual disturbances that are not accompanied by a headache are known as an ocular migraine.These disturbances can include a circle of flickering zigzag lines that suddenly appear and then slowly expand outward until they leave your field of vision.Some people experience temporary blind spots in their vision, see shimmering patterns or stars, or get random flashes of light.Scans of migraine patients\u2019 brains show waves of abnormal activity that spread across the surface of the brain.There is also stimulation of nerve centers deep within the brain stem.Thanks to the new focus on the brain itself as the source of migraine, researchers are now looking into how ocular migraines tie into altered brain activity.When it comes to ocular migraine, the symptoms can be temporarily disruptive but are not generally considered serious.In light of the scope of non- headache symptoms that migraine encompasses, it\u2019s a good idea to do a self-check and see whether fatigue, depression, light sensitivity or neck pain either precede or follow your ocular migraine attacks.Since you\u2019re experiencing these symptoms regularly, we suggest a visit with your primary care physician for a definitive diagnosis.Pay attention during the next episode, so you can provide accurate details and a precise timeline of the attack.It will help your physician better understand what is going on and potentially rule out conditions with similar symptoms.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.Reader\u2019s visual disturbances could be migraine auras SUNDAY, JANUARY 7 & MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 2018 Dear Annie: I have a will that I made out several years ago but needs revising.Seeing as I have no children, I directed that my assets be split evenly among my siblings \u2014 or to their descendants, should I outlive one or more sibling.Over the years, I have realized that my nieces and nephews are not all the same.I would like to change things but don\u2019t want to create problems for those remaining, especially the executor.The majority of the nieces and nephews have worked hard and made nice lives for themselves, although one has a child with medical issues that have been a financial burden to his family.One nephew bounces from one entry-level job to another.Several times a year, he has a setback and asks his parents for money, which they can ill afford to give.If he ever had \u201cextra\u201d money, he\u2019d most likely spend it on something extravagant rather than save it for a rainy day.I\u2019d like to leave something to each of the nieces and nephews, but not equal shares.I worked hard all my life and built a substantial nest egg, and I don\u2019t like thinking about how certain family members could just blow money that took me many years to accumulate, while others seem more deserving.I am closer to the ones who are doing well.Unfortunately, the nephew whom I\u2019d like to leave the least to is the executor\u2019s child.Should I just split the estate evenly among the nieces and nephews and let the chips fall where they may, seeing as I won\u2019t be around to see the result anyway?\u2014 Feeling Torn Dear Feeling Torn: Though you won\u2019t be around to see the result, passing on your assets is your final act on this earth, so do not let fear of confrontation hamper you.Your sibling who is executor should respect and understand your decision.If he or she takes offense, you can explain that it\u2019s nothing personal and you simply see more of a need in your other nieces and nephews.But you\u2019re not obligated to explain anything.Your will is your own.Dear Annie: I agree with your advice to \u201cSink Secret.\u201d There are cleaner ways to save water than treating the sink as a urinal.We have rain barrels for all of our plant and garden watering, and rainwater can be poured in the bowl for toilet flushing if the town water supply has been cut off.But we also catch the water from the shower faucet as it\u2019s warming up and pour that into the toilet tank for flushing.It is also not necessary to flush every time one urinates.In Guatemala and other places where water is conserved, toilet paper is thrown away with paper trash instead of being flushed, and this uses less water and causes fewer plumbing problems.Using a nontoxic cleaner, such as Murphy oil soap, keeps the bathroom smelling nice and the municipal water supply cleaner, too.Good for \u201cSink Secret\u201d for wanting to save water.I\u2019ll bet his wife does, too.\u2014 \u201cWater Is Life\u201d Believer Dear \u201cWater Is Life\u201d Believer: Thank you for these tips.For more than 100 creative ideas for conserving water, visit https://wateruseitwisely.com.Dear Annie: I am a middle child with two elder brothers, a younger sister and a younger brother.They all get together and have dinner and movie dates or hang out with one another.I am always excluded.No phone call or text.They have been rude and unwelcoming for more than 15 years now.No idea why.I have finally told them that I think they have treated me poorly and I don\u2019t consider them brothers.My parents are flabbergasted, as well.It has truly broken my heart.How do I let go?\u2014 Pushed Away Dear Pushed Away: Before you let go, let out your feelings.I know you mentioned that you told them what you think \u2014 but was it in an angry and hurt way or in an honest and gentle way?You don\u2019t get to choose your family, but you only get one, so I am all for trying to work out your differences.Feeling excluded never feels good.The fact that your parents are flabbergasted leads me to believe that there is some serious communication issue at play here.Seek out the help of a professional family therapist who can resolve this sibling misunderstanding.Dear Annie: Your column about the gossiping in-laws struck a chord with us.Some folks resort to backbiting and malicious gossip for vicarious excitement and because they don\u2019t have positive self-images.My sister-in-law falls into that category.For many years, she seemed like a sister to me \u2014 only I eventually found out the ugly rumors she had spread, about me and many others.She even tried to break up my marriage (to her brother) by saying I\u2019d had affairs all over the world while on business trips.I avoided her (we live out of state) for several years but then confronted her directly in private during a family visit.She cried and cried, apologized and said she was ashamed.We will never be close, but because she has advanced cancer, I have forgiven her.Malicious gossip is a stealthy type of bullying, as your target is unaware of the slander.I liked your advice to \u201cBetrayed\u201d (to have her husband talk to his relatives), Annie, but direct confrontation shames the individual and puts the power back where it belongs \u2014 with the victim.If other family members don\u2019t like it, so be it.We can pick our friends, but not family or in-laws.One would be better off without them all than walking on eggshells.Your columns are great.Thanks for all you do.\u2014 Florida Villages Reader Dear Florida Villages Reader: You make a great point.Perhaps it would be more effective for \u201cBetrayed\u201d to confront her in-laws than for her husband to talk to them.Bullies must be held accoun table.Thank you for your insight.Send your questions for Annie Lane to: dearannie@creators.com.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday , January 8, 2018 Page 9 Your will is others\u2019 command Dear Annie Proud
