JANUARY 12, 2017 À meeting of minds for the blind: Sherbrooke research aims to boost quality of life for visually impaired seniors By Gordon Lambie Aging is expanding on an existing research project in an effort to help seniors who cannot see well remain socially active and involved in their communities.Drawing on a project already being overseen by Doctor Mélanie Lev- asseur called APIC, a French acronym for personalized citizen assistance for social participation, researcher Caroline Pigeon wants to help improve quality of life for seniors with visual impairments or complete blindness \u201cThe goal of the project is to adapt a tool called the APIC to elders with visual impairments,\u201d Pigeon said, explaining that the project pairs volunteers and seniors with the goal of getting them out and about.\u201cIt could be anything from going for walks to engaging in community organizations so long as it is active.The research shows that being socially engaged significantly improves the health, quality of life and wellbeing of the elderly.\u201d The researcher explained that the APIC program was originally developed in Montreal as a tool for individuals with severe head trauma but was adapted by Levasseur in Sherbrooke to help improve the lives of seniors.The program trains volunteers to help seniors determine what activities they would like to engage in but feel like they can\u2019t and then has them accompany their partner to those activities until such time as the senior feels about to get out on their own.Toward the end of the partnership the senior and the

Allison University in the mid-80s.His name was Jim Morrison.Not that Jim Morrison.Not the Lizard King, though Jim was big like a T Rex, and he tended to lumber like one.He Was also legally blind, but only in the sense that you wouldn't want to get behind the wheel with him.Big Jim could appear terrifying when he wanted to, especially if he was scowling.But it\u2019s not the scowl I remember.I remember the grin.I remember the stereo.I was an insecure, vanilla kid living away from home for the first time in a dorm aptly known as \u201cAnimal House.\u201d It Was like permanent summer camp, complete with the sort of pranks you\u2019d expect when 18- to 23-year-old boys live virtually unsupervised.A favourite was leaners.Dorm room doors opened inward, so it was a pretty simple trick to fill a garbage pail with water, lean it against a closed door, knock and run.Big garbage pails.Car- [so mi last week that an old univer- peted floors.Bennett House was quite the swamp.My roommate and I received a few such leaners.Freshmen were regularly reminded they were freshmen.Even though these upperclassmen were three, two, even just one year older, there was a definite pecking order.So imagine a young me, feeling his way, trying to make friends, and this giant older student with a take-no-pris- oners grin welcomes me into his room.And imagine that room has the biggest big-ass stereo in the house.Jim was big, his talk was big and his music was big.He unabashedly loved Top 40 and he loved to crank it.Phil Collins\u2019 \u201cIn the Air Tonight\u201d - for when the drums kick in.The intro to Dire Straits\u2019 \u201cMoney for Nothing\u201d - for when the drums kick in.The theme to \u201cMiami Vice\u201d \u2014 for.well, it was pretty much all drums.Jim loved the drum parts.I had forgotten \u201cMoney for Nothing\u201d until I began writing this, and when I did, I smiled to myself, because Jim shared (imposed) his music with such gusto.This was happy music, even terrible songs like \u201cWake Me Up Before You Go-Go\u201d and \u201cSussudio.\u201d You want Zeppelin and Floyd?Down the hall in the room with the black light and the closed door.Jim\u2019s door was never closed.I don\u2019t know if you\u2019d call him the King of Bennett House.More like the Cruise Director of Bennett House.Something was always happening in Jim\u2019s room.People wanted to be around his energy, and he wanted to be around them.Jim was a storyteller.He could regale.And what\u2019s a regaler without an audience?He was also generous \u2014 with notes, with clothes, you name it.Want to make a mix tape?He\u2019d set you up.Yes, I made a mix tape with \u201cLike a Virgin\u201d on it.It\u2019s Jim\u2019s fault.We weren\u2019t close, but we were close enough that I saw some dark times too, usually over what any young guy\u2019s dark times are about - girls.The girls loved Jim, but they didn\u2019t love Jim.He wasn\u2019t standard-issue boyfriend material.So I was happy to see in Jim\u2019s obituary that he had married, that he had had a successful career as a financial analyst and that he had two young sons that he loved to watch play sports.Did he still play it loud, I wondered?Was he still the universal donor of friendship?Jim wasn\u2019t on social media, and I had no contact with him over the past 30 years.I learned of his sudden death through a mutual friend.We're getting to that age where there will be more and more such news, I'm afraid.Jim and I didn\u2019t hang out after I moved out of Bennett.As I said, we weren\u2019t especially close.Yet I can\u2019t think of those first two years without thinking of him.Big Jim filled the room, and letting me squeeze in that room during those early days of my independence made this kid feel like, hey, I'm going to be all right, leaners and all.That\u2019s what I want.I want to remember how a generous spirit can influence someone else.I want to remember Big Jim\u2019s big grin and warm heart.I want my MTV.Sherbrooke begins

Q: What do you like about Phelps\u2019s elementary programs?A: The kids choose to be here and you can tell they enjoy being here.So do the volunteers!

I'm so glad I've gotten to be a part of it.\u201d Thank you, Zoe! If, like Zoe, volunteering interests you, please contact us.The holidays are over and the programs are starting back up again this week.We are once again looking for volunteers from the Lennoxville area who would be able to drive up a couple of other volunteers on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.Help make our programs a success and volunteer with Phelps! Featured pet: Nicka calm and focused when encountering other dogs on her walks.At the shelter, Nicka is often in close proximity to other dogs and we are pleased to see that she stays calm during these encounters.Nicka who is approximately 5 is not overly energetic and her preference while out in our fenced-in dog park is to just chill and hang out rather than run and chase her toys.Nicka is attentive and knows her basic commands.She loves interacting with people and is extremely affectionate and very responsive to those around her.If you think you might be able to provide Nicka the home

in Shakespeare\u2019s Henry VI part 2, he would have gotten a tremendous laugh from the audience.Let\u2019s face it, even in the 16th century lawyers weren\u2019t popular with the masses.If you scroll ahead to the 21st century Dick\u2019s hope for a coming utopia might need an update.If he were around now he might very well give the legal community a pass and suggest, \u201cThe first thing we do,

engineers is strictly of a practical nature and could probably be overcome with a little hands on application.Doctors, before they are turned loose on a trusting population, go to school for about seven years, serve as an intern in a hospital setting and pass a whole slew of exams.During that time they actually treat patients \u2014 put on bandages, give a needle, sew up some stitches \u2014 that sort of thing.Why then don\u2019t design engineers suffer the same fate?As a suggestion, before graduation, every engineer should be required to not only design but clean an oven.That\u2019s right, each engineer would have to get down on his or her hands and knees and spend fifteen minutes trying to figure out how to get the door off.Then they could spend another half hour spraying and wiping the interior with a caustic cleaner while trying to avoid scraping their knuckles to the bone on the variety of sharp edges, heating elements and brackets included in the design.They would also be required to cook an entire meal which would include reaching across a boiling pot of water to the dial at the back of the stove to turn the heat down, wiping a spill out of the recess under the element and figuring out how to set any one of the special functions on the control panel.Another compulsory test would be to use a standard food processor to chop vegetables or make pie dough, whatever.Afterwards they would be required to wash and dry the processor before storing it away.This would include making sure the hundred or so cracks, curves and crevices included in the beautiful

of the car or lifting the entire motor out of the body.There are other tests that I am sure we could think of including replacing those irritating little light bulbs that have to be pushed in and turned simultaneously, removing the plastic shelving and containers from refrigerators, cleaning the under side of a lawn mower without spilling the remaining gasoline or properly wringing out a floor mop.In short, every engineer would not only graduate with the requisite designing skills but a practical understanding of just what works and doesn\u2019t in the real world.And, as an added plus, when the revolution does come we\u2019ll only have to go after the lawyers.Waterloo installs second defibrillator Record Staff SHERBROOKE he City of Waterloo recently ac- | quired a second Lifepak cardiac defibrillator from Réanimation Sauve-Vie Inc in Saint-Joachim-de-Shef- ford.The emergency equipment has been installed in the main lobby of the town hall.The new device offers the community additional coverage, given that another defibrillator was already installed at the Jacques Chagnon arena in 2012.The Waterloo town hall was selected as the ideal location for the life-saving device because of the fact that it serves as the central coordinating point of the RECORD PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS municipality, with residents and visitors attending numerous meetings in the building on a daily basis.The building is also home to the local inter-municipal court, the offices of the SAAQ and the SQ.Recent data show that more than 79,000 Canadians die each year from heart disease or stroke, accounting for 38 per cent of all deaths in the country.According to statistics, Canadians have a 33 per cent chance of having a heart attack or a stroke in the workplace.Rapid access to defibrillation greatly increases the chances of survival.Four people in the town hall have already been trained to use the new equipment and nearly a dozen more will be trained in its use in the near future.GST PST TOTAL

Malkin are among the players named to the rosters for the 2017 NHL all-star weekend.Laine, the rookie leading scorer with 37 points, 1s the lone Winnipeg Jets representative on a Central Division roster also including captain P.K.Subban of Nashville and reigning league MVP Patrick Kane of Chicago.Laine's participation in the tournament is questionable after he suffered a concussion in a recent game against Buf falo.If he can't go, Winnipeg forwards Mark Scheifele or Nikolaj Ehlers, who share the Jets' scoring lead with Laine, are possible replacements.Matthews, second in rookie scoring with 35 points, is the only member of the Toronto Maple Leafs on the Atlantic Division roster.He joins a team captained by Montreal goaltender Carey Price that also includes Canadiens defenceman Shea Weber and star Ottawa rearguard Erik Karlsson.The Pacific Division roster, captained by NHL leading scorer Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers, includes Calgary forward Johnny Gaudreau and Vancouver forward Bo Horvat.Malkin joins Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Sidney Crosby on the Metropolitan Division roster, which also includes Washington sniper Ovechkin.The all-star weekend will be held Jan.28-29 in Los Angeles.The Kings will be represented by forward Jeff Carter and de- fenceman Drew Doughty in their home rink.The game format will again be a 3-on- 3 tournament featuring a team from

biggest mysteries.At 17, Canadian forward Adonijah Reid is very much a work in progress.But his raw talent combined with a Generation Adidas Canada contract that does not count against the salary cap should draw interest in Friday's MLS Su- perDraft in Los Angeles.The five-foot-five talent from Brampton, Ont., who does not turn 18 until mid-September, has honed his talents at the ANB Futbol Academy in suburban Toronto since he was 11.\u201cHe is an attacking-minded player, I don't like to say forward because he can Te youngest player at the MLS Com- play behind the striker, as a striker and he can be on the wing,\u201d said ANB Academy director Bassam Naim.\u201cHe is a very lethal finisher,\u201d he added.\u201cHe will bury the ball most of the time.\u201d ANB Futbol Academy wasted little time showcasing his talents to European teams.\u201cThis young man has been very well- travelled .He has been offered many scenarios,\u201d said Naim.\u201cBut due to the fact that he doesn't have European documents _ he's Canadian-born _ it was dif ficult for us to keep him in Europe.\u201d As a 15-year-old, Reid tied for the scoring lead in League 1 Ontario with the ANB Futbol team.More recently he has been playing for the Academy's under-20 side.\u201cHe's definitely able to compete with older players,\u201d said Naim.\u201cThat's an edge he has.He's motivated to play with older men .I think the future is bright.\u201d Reid has spent time with Canadian under-15, under-16 and under-18 camps, while drawing plenty of interest from U.S.colleges.\u201cHe's got undoubted talent,\u201d said Canadian under-20 coach Rob Gale.\u201cIt's really going to be interesting how he develops and grows once he's in that full- time professional environment.But he's a dynamic forward.He can probably play in any of four front positions.\u201d Reid has a knack for getting into goal- scoring positions.\u201cHe's got a big upside .He's always been the best player in his current environment,\u201d said Gale.\u201cAnd now he needs that extra push which I think is going to be very very good for him.\u201d Quiet off the field, the youngster will likely be a project for an MLS team willing to give him the time needed.The Vancouver Whitecaps have the highest pick among the Canadian team at No.7.Montreal picks 19th and Toronto 21st.Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson plays his cards close to his chest and has a shopping list with various needs.But the franchise has not been shy in the past about young talent, using the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft to take 17- year-old forward Kekuta Manneh.Reid is joined by 19-year-old FC Edmonton midfielder Shamit Shome in the inaugural Generation Adidas Canada class.CANADIAN RED CROSS QUEBEC Make a donation or become a

due to rising education levels, but I don\u2019t have a college degree.Should I be more worried than most?Dear Reader: Dementia is a scary disease, causing not only loss of memory but also the inability to reason through problems and, for many, difficulty with even the daily tasks of living.One bright spot is that dementia rates are indeed declining.This was first noted in the United Kingdom in 2013, where researchers in the medical journal Lancet reported a 24 percent decline in dementia rates compared to 20 years previous.Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off Text only: $16.00 (includes taxes) WEDDING WRITE-UPS: The question is: Why the decrease?A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association attempts to answer that question, assessing differences in dementia rates in the United States between the years of 2000 and 2012.The data were taken from the Health and Retirement Study, which is based on a questionnaire given to thousands of people over the age of 50.The study looked at 10,000 people in 2000 and another 10,000 people in 2012.In this study, researchers found a 24 percent decrease in the dementia rate between 2000 and 2012, and one difference noted by the authors of the study was that overall respondents in 2012 had one more year of education than those in 2000.A logical question is whether the population in 2012 was simply healthier.That does not appear to be the case.In fact, the 2012 population generally had greater rates of high blood pressure and diabetes, both of which are risk factors for dementia.To that point, it\u2019s possible that the more modern and stricter treatments for diabetes and high blood pressure played a role.After all, statins, as well as medications for high blood pressure and diabetes, can reduce the effects of diabetes and high blood pressure on brain function.But ultimately the authors concluded BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 40¢ per

contributor to the decline of both dementia and cognitive impairment.That benefit may come from the creation of greater amounts of brain reserve, so that when brain function decreases years in the future, the effect may not be as obvious.My belief is that any form of education is important.Although the study above showed that an additional one year of education had benefit, there are other ways of getting an education, such as learning a language.Numerous studies have shown that people who are proficient in two languages have a significant decline in dementia.So if you have the time, learning another language would be a worthy investment.Please note, however, that I have had patients with high education levels get dementia, so education is not a total preventive.But I would encourage you to continue to use your mind \u2014 challenging yourself with learning new material and continuing to educate yourself.You don\u2019t need to sit in a class for this.A lifelong process of learning and understanding may itself decrease your chances of dementia.(Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.)
