Representing two of Townshippers\u2019 initiatives - the Youth Employment pilot project and the Make Way for YOUth project - are Katie Bibbs and Holly McMillan who will have information on hand about opportunities in the English- speaking community.Swing on by and meet Katie and Holly, and answer a few quick questions to help us better serve the community in these initiatives, at the

Gordon Lambie pagnement aux Plaintes (CAAP) Es- trie has been working to support the rights of people within the healthcare system for the last 17 years.Despite this fact, they still face a large number of locals who simply have no idea who they are and what they do, particularly in the English speaking community.\u201cOur non-profit organization helps users of the health and social services in the Townships to formulate complaints against the health and social services.We assist and accompany users throughout the whole complaint process,\u201d explained Angela Moore, the organization\u2019s newest complaints advisor and promotional agent.Although Moore\u2019s job is fundamentally the same as that of her coworkers, to help people who want to file an official complaint but don\u2019t know how, her job is noteworthy in that it was created with a very specific purpose in mind.\u201cI was hired to assist the English speaking population of the Townships,\u201d Moore said.\u201cEssentially any English speaking person who calls comes straight to me.\u201d Tr Centre d\u2019Assistance et d\u2019Accom- \u201cWe\u2019re here to help\u201d CAAP Estrie hires dedicated English agent Now four months into a 41-week pilot project to provide clearer and more direct service to English speakers, Moore said that the organization is working hard on trying to draw attention to their own existence to help keep the program going.\u201cWe're trying to make it a permanent position because it is working,\u201d she said.Serge Arel, the Executive Director of CAAP Estrie, said that although the organization has been conscious of the needs of the English community since its very beginnings, it has not always had the budget on hand to offer a dedicated English speaking employee.With the addition of the La Pommeraie administrative district and its significant English population to the territory of the local healthcare network in 2015, Arel said that something had to be done.\u201cLa Pommeraie is the region with the largest percentage of English speakers,\u201d the executive director said.\u201cThey need to be served by someone who knows the context and nuance of what they are saying.\u201d Although Arel underlined the fact that all of the organization\u2019s employees are bilingual, he used the example of people\u2019s right to health services in their own language to clarify the value of having a native English speaker on hand.\u201cIf I arrive at emergency complaining of chest pain, do they give me Nitro or Gravol?\u201d the executive director said.\u201cThese are two very different medications depending on how I expressed my pain.\u201d Recognizing that level of importance, Arel said, the CAAP chose to turn a budget surplus for 2017 into a deficit in the name of showing that a dedicated English advisor is worthwhile.\"We want people to know that they have rights,\u201d he added, noting that the English community has a tendency to talk about issues amongst themselves, without reaching out.\u201cWe want to be a part of that conversation,\u201d he said.Asked about the actual work of the organization, Moore and Arel explained that there are 16 CAAP organizations across the province, all tasked with the mission of making it easier for people to navigate the complicated process of filing a complaint within the healthcare system.\u201cAll you need to do is call us, we know what the process is and we can make it a lot simpler for someone to manage,\u201d Moore said, noting that the majority of callers have no idea where to begin or what rights they have in a given situation.\u201cFrom what I can see, people have no idea where to get the information and what to do.It\u2019s the beginning steps.Once they're in the process, they're better off.\u201d Arel added that the confusion seems to be present across the board.\u201cThere are very well educated people who come to us and say I don\u2019t know what to do and there are other people who have problems with reading and writing,\u201d the Executive director said.\u201cWe respond to all needs.\u201d Moore underlined the fact that the CAAP agents are not lawyers and cannot be involved complaints requesting financial compensation but said that otherwise the team is there to help in whatever way possible.\u201cPeople just need to be informed that we exist,\u201d she said.\u201cWe\u2019re here to help.\u201d \u201cWe all have the same mandate and the same way of operating,\u201d Arel added.\u201cWhether a person is accompanied by the CAAP Gaspesie, the CAAP Abitibi, or the CAAP Estrie, the process is the same.\u201d More information about CAAP Estrie is available at http://caapestrie.org/en/ STS expands \u2018Vermeille\u2019 information service with real-time information Record Staff SHERBROOKE the Vermeille brand, the Sherbrooke Transportation Corporation (STS) has announced the implementation of a real-time information feature for users.This new feature, updated every 20 to 30 seconds, will facilitate the mobility of Sherbrooke residents by providing, localized data on the state of the network as well as a minute forecast of the time of arrival of buses at stops.In particular, this real-time information has been integrated with the corporation\u2019s SMS text messaging service, which has proven to be very popular since its launch last June.The STS generates more than 7,000 text messages per week, almost six times more than initially forecast.This undeniable success confirms that integrating intelligent mobility into STS's service offerings, thanks to new digital technologies, enables customers to access easily relevant, comprehensive, and reliable information at all times in order to better plan their trips.In addition to SMS messaging, the new service will also be integrated into the Vermeille mobile application and the schedules search via the route calculator A s part of its intelligent

forward and then some We just finished our third On-Line Auction, conducted on Facebook.I have no idea why I never thought of doing these auctions before, but I am mighty happy my brain created it when it did.Again, the auction has helped us tremendously by raising enough money to either pay all of last month\u2019s food and necessity bill, or last month\u2019s vet bills.Either way, it is one bill that is taken off my shoulders and becomes a huge relief.Since the last auction was large, with over 300 items, and I had many people tell me the album was so big it would freeze their devises, this auction I divided the album in two and only had 100 items in each.It went off without a hitch.These auctions have taken on a life of their own.They have created a pool of kindness and giving and thoughtfulness 1: by the amount of people who voluntarily donate to them.I use things from the store that haven\u2019t sold, but most of the items are donated items.I had too many things to use in this auction, and 70 items were held for the next one, which I believe I will do in the beginning of November.2: A handful of items in this auction and the last, were bought by individuals in the store (which is crucial to the longevity of The Pet Connection.Without the store, there is no Pet Connection), who then turned around and donated those items to the auction.That works as a double benefit.3: I have seen people buy an item in the store, turn around and donate it to the auction and then bid on it and win for more than what they bought it for.4: I have seen bidding wars between people who really have not much use for the item they are bidding on, but continue to help raise as much money as they can to help us.$100 for a teddy bear is obviously more for my animals than themselves.Most are using the auctions for what I hoped they would, getting something they want at the lowest bids they can, which is the point of an auction.I really like this type of fundraiser because it is a win-win situation.People bid on something they want and they get it, all the while helping us pay bills that we can\u2019t do on our own.I have never and will never be the type of person who asks people to just give us money for a mission I started on my own accord.I like people to get something in return for wanting to help us.All of these reasons is enough to see how wonderful the auctions are, but in this auction, something else happened.I have received four payments for items with a note attached, \u201cPlease give this to.\u201d.The first time it happened I assumed it was because they wanted to give a gift to a friend, but to my surprise, what is happening is a huge pay it forward initiative.One woman, who I will not name since I did not ask her permission; and she is very much a no attention kind of giver, bought a few items and because she didn\u2019t need them, she really just wanted to help us out, she turned around and gave two of those items away to the person who had bid before her.Then, those two people, did the same.Then, I received a phone call from someone out west who sent me an e- transfer and told me to give what she won to her friend who visits the store often.It has happened eight times now.When I realized what was going on, all I could do was sit back in my chair and smile.What thoughtful, selfless acts and happening right in front of my eyes.You will see often people working in animals\u2019 wellbeing say things like, \u201cI hate humans\u201d, or \u201cI like animals better\u201d.It\u2019s a normal reaction actually because they see so much hurt and death in the animal world, all at the hands of a human.I admit I am guilty of saying it in my weaker moments, but it\u2019s not true.I don\u2019t hate humans.I do, however, very very much dislike humans who abuse, hurt or neglect animals.Those humans sometimes get the better of me since I spend my time consoling and comforting animals that suffered from those humans, but what this auction did was make one thing very very clear to me.Selfless acts promote selfless acts.Acts of kindness promote acts of kindness.The Pet Connection has always been a family.A family with big hearts.A family filled with people who can focus on the most important thing; helping those in need, but I believe it has become even bigger than even I, who live it daily, was seeing.Generosity, kindness and acts from the heart go hand in hand, whether it be for innocent animals or to make a strangers day that much merrier.So, thank you to everyone who donated.Thank you to everyone who bid.And thank you to everyone who reminded me how very important it is to \u201cpay it forward\u201d in this day and age.I\u2019m proud to know all of you and if my animals could talk, they would say, \u201cThank you for helping us, but thank you for also helping make the world around us a kinder place.\u201d Will Oh my old Will.Still with us.This 8 year old Shepherd mix sure has a story to tell, I just wish he could tell it to me.He has at one point in his life suffered trauma to his mouth, leaving him with a bottom lip that hangs and makes me think of Yogie Bear or Elvis.He has pieces of ear missing.He has old scars on his legs and ears.I will never know what happened to him before I met him, but I can say that since I have known him he has made my days brighter.He doesn\u2019t have much use for other dogs.They kinda bug him actually if they are in his face too much.This old guy likes it quiet and calm and very much enjoys his long walks in the woods.He doesn\u2019t care much for cats either.They freak him out.But, a kinder soul, I don\u2019t think you could ever find.He just wants to be loved and respected.If you have place for an older gentleman that just wants to be loved for the rest of his days, please consider Will.He deserves it.=> > a .ef oa es Hh es This page is provided by Blue Seal - The Animal Nutrition Centre and The Pet

experience TORN sition of mayor in the upcoming election on Nov.5 in Sutton.Louis Dandenault, current mayor and head of the Alliance Sutton team, is hoping for a second mandate.He is being challenged by Michel Lafrance.\u201cThere is concern about a lack of transparency with the current council,\u201d Lafrance said, regarding the main issues faced by the town at the moment.\u201cThere\u2019s a breach of trust, I would say; we have to reunify our community,\u201d he commented.Lafrance referred to the recent purchase of the Filtex building by the municipality.\u201cThat could be a nice unifying project,\u201d Lafrance said, following a consultation to see what the community would like to do with the property.He added that the dossier will require a fair amount of attention to determine the cost to demolish the current building, the extent of soil contamination from the abandoned factory and a clear identification of the land title, which borders the railroad.\u201cThere are lots of disagreements about development and the environment,\u201d Lafrance said.\u201cWe need to find a balance.\u201d \u201cAll through my career I\u2019ve been involved in management decisions,\u201d Lafrance said, explaining what makes him a good mayoral candidate.Lafrance had a career as an airport manager.\u201cAn airport is like a small municipality,\u201d he said, with the runways to maintain, the businesses and employees to manage, and major projects always in the works.\u201cI can get people to work together,\u201d commented Lafrance, adding the he be- The candidates are vying for the po- to lead Sutton.When asked about his vision for the municipality during his mandate, Lafrance said he has a short and a long term vision.In the short term, Lafrance said he would like to create a consultative process for citizens regarding major decisions in Sutton.He would also like council meetings to be broadcast live.Lafrance would also like the urbanism committee to be nominated by citizens.Balancing protection of the environment and development in Sutton is another part of Lafrance\u2019s short term plan, he said.The long-term plan, according to Lafrance, is to address the needs of Sutton\u2019s aging population and young families by working to create affordable housing options and establish a GMF (Groupe de Médecine Familiale), which would ideally operate out of a multi-pur- pose community centre in town.Lafrance added that his philosophy of reducing, reusing and recycling wherever possible would be ever present in his decision making.\u201cI think our planet has reached its limit in that aspect,\u201d Lafrance said.Louis Dandenault said among the main issues in the municipality right now is a petition with 1,200 signatures, interested in developing a path for bikes and pedestrians from the village to the mountain.\u201cThere\u2019s a group looking into that, we want to put a committee together,\u201d Dan- denault said, explaining it will require the involvement of the MTQ because it is a provincial road.Dandenault also referred to the newly purchased Filtex building as a project on the horizon for the town.Keeping tax rates stable, creating jobs and attracting and retaining young fam- A COURTESY Louis Dandenault ilies in the area were other important issues Dandenault mentioned.When asked what makes him a good candidate, Dandenault said he has 12 years of experience as a councillor, and felt prepared for a second mandate as mayor.\u201cI've learned a lot in these last four years; it\u2019s not an easy job,\u201d he said.Dan- denault added that he is bilingual and has lived in Sutton for most of his life, so he knows and understands the local population.The learning curve of a new mayor is already dealt with he added.\u201cI've got a great team behind me,\u201d Dandenault commented, referring to the Alliance Sutton team.Regarding his vision for Sutton were he to win a second mandate, Dandenault said the focus would be on balancing progress and protecting the environment.He would like to work towards job creation and maintaining a vibrant and dynamic downtown area.COURTESY Michel Lafrance Dandenault also referred to Mont Sutton as a big asset.\u201cThat\u2019s the big dog pulling the sled,\u201d Dandenault said.Among the council positions, all six have an Alliance Sutton team member running, four of which are outgoing.John Hawley (Alliance Sutton), currently councillor for District 6, is running for re-election in District 2 against Diane Duchesne.Winston Bresee (Alliance Sutton), currently seated in District 4, is vying for District 3 along with Patricia Lefevre.Nathalie Bédard (Alliance Sutton) currently councillor in District 5 1s running against Lynda Graham to hold her position.Kenneth Hill

anthocyanin, which accounts for the deep red colour.In the fall, when the days grow shorter and colder and the trees are ready to move into a dormant state, the chlorophyll breaks down and the other pigments in the leaves become more visible.A number of factors also come into play; the weather in spring and summer can have an impact on how early or late colours change on the leaves.The health of the trees also plays a role in when and how vibrant the change in colour is from year to year.According to Rotherham, the leaves of birches and poplars generally tend to turn yellow.Maples are a different story.Red maples tend to go a reddish colour and turn quite early, while sugar maples stay on the more yellowish end of the spectrum.Red oaks are prone to a dark, copper- like brown and hold their leaves for much longer than other trees, Rotherham said, referring to the view of Mount Orford travelling from Montreal into the Townships on the highway.\u201cA whole bunch of those are oaks,\u201d he said.Ash trees turn early, and are usually a brownish hue, Rotherham added.When asked what species of tree turns hot pink, like the species in this photograph, Rotherham said he couldn\u2019t say without getting a good look at the tree in question.p pressreader PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY ORIGINAL COPY

the lines that are crossed are beyond the acceptable and we endlessly encourage each other to \u2018man up.\u2019 \u2018Boys will be boys,\u2019 but 1t\u2019s time to be men rv TN MIKE McCDEVITT hose of us who use social media | were met Monday by an avalanche of posts from female users containing simply the phrase \u2018me too.\u2019 The overwhelming number of these posts was stimulated by the flood of testimonials from female actors relating their experiences with the sexually inappropriate behaviour of film producer Harvey We- instein and other male members of the \u2018Hollywood\u2019 community.The two tiny words have sparked a widespread conversation about the hyper-masculinised \u2018rape culture\u2019 that continues to permeate our society and forms a direct challenge to all men to \u2018step up\u2019 and face a reality that is too often denied, mineral- ized, or excused altogether.They shine a cold hard light on the reality of life, not only for those in the public eye, but for virtually every female with whom we share our space.The extent of this \u2018movement,\u2019 initiated a decade ago by black activist Tarana Burke and reignited by actor Alyssa Milano, has come as a shock to men everywhere, who now have no choice but to face the fact that the inappropriate and unwanted sexual aggression recounted exist not only in the rarefied world of Hollywood glitter, but permeate society at all levels.We awoke to a stark confrontation with the fact that sexual aggression occurs all the time, everywhere, and affects not just the famous and notorious, but our wives, daughters, sisters, mothers, employers, and bosses.Faced with this, it becomes impossible to maintain the myth that somehow women who suffer this abuse bring it upon themselves because of the way they dress, drink, or otherwise behave, and points out clearly that the responsibility for its prevalence depends entirely upon the world of men.All of us, male and female, have been raised in a society in which \u2018masculine\u2019 behaviour is rooted in the aggression of contact sports, physical strength, and an ever-present potential for violence Men we are told, are genetically driven to seek out dominance and power and that one of the rewards for this comportment is the freedom to treat women as objects designed for our gratification and self- affirmation.It is up, in extension, to women and girls to accept this reality and to behave accordingly.All of this is reflected in, and supported by, the hyper-sexualisation of the female body regardless of context and, even more sadly, regardless of the age and vulnerability of the women involved.Women in all walks of life and in virtually all age groups are encouraged to emphasize their physical attractiveness and are judged accordingly.Regardless of their talents, women are encouraged to take advantage of their sexuality in order to prosper and, in the performing arts community especially, physical attractiveness plays as big a role as anything else in terms of success and prosperity.The phenomenon of course, exists not only within the artistic community.During last year\u2019s US Presidential election, considerable attention was paid to the \u2018frumpiness\u2019 of candidate Hillary Clinton, her wardrobe, and her lack of sex appeal.Instead, perhaps the most experienced and qualified candidate to ever seek the office was defeated by a clearly out of his depth self-admitted sexual predator, with a long history of inappropriate and \u2018entitled\u2019 sexual misbehav- jour who once proudly and publically ruminated upon the sexual attractiveness of his ownl6-year old daughter.Even more appallingly, the \u2018groper-in- chief\u2019 even garnered the support of the majority of (white) women in the contest, in spite of his obvious and clumsy \u2018creepiness.\u2019 The sexual exploitation of and violence against women and girls, of THE 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIM 2E2 Fax: 819-821-3179

desire for female equality and empowerment, but as in many other areas of life, the gap between expressed desires and reality is vast and complex and forces us to recognize that laws and rules are simply not enough to put an end to such a pervasive societal characteristic and that a fundamental change in attitudes must occur at the basic level of our understanding of what \u2018masculinity\u2019 means, what it implies, and the power arrangements implicit in even the most casual encounters.It becomes incumbent upon men to recognize that women - even the ones they love and cherish, and whom they swear to protect \u2014 face daily challenges that are to them incomprehensible.Men do not have to live in a state of constant wariness in all aspects of their lives, whether at work, at play, at home, or even walking down a public street.We are not constantly forced to be aware of our appeal to the opposite sex and nor are we expected to comply with its expectations and deal with the condemnation and threats that can accompany the failure to do so.Nor is it assumed that any successes we might enjoy in our professional lives are the result of our sexual availability.No successful man is ever accused of \u2018sleeping his way to the top.\u2019 So pervasive is this toxic masculinity that its negative effects are not confined to women alone.For men, their sense of success, worthiness, and \u2018manhood\u2019 often depend on the ability to enjoy \u2018sexual conquest\u2019 in profusion, while similar behaviour among women is universally frowned upon and often punishable.Sexually promiscuous men are lauded for the \u2018notches on the belts; women, on the other hand\u2019 are simply sluts.It is virtually impossible for any decent man to read the endless tales of uncomfortable or violent experiences of women and girls to not come to understand that virtually all men - regardless of whether they themselves are physically aggressive \u2014 play a crucial role in their perpetuation.We laugh at the jokes, we make the snide remarks, and we wallow in our sexual successes.We look the other way when the lines that are crossed are beyond the acceptable and we endlessly encourage each other to \u2018man up.\u2019 Now, it is true that women are not alone in being sexualized in our modern society and neither are they the only victims of sexual aggression.But this is not the time to paraphrase, to change \u2018Women\u2019s lives matter\u201d to \u2018All lives matter.Of course they do, but for women, these lives are dangerous, fearful, and unpredictable in a way that is entirely alien to those of men.We can no longer make excuses.It is up to all of us, but especially men, to examine the nature of what it means to \u2018be a man\u2019 and to stand up for what we want that phrase to mean.The ball is not in the other court; we own the ball.We own the court.It\u2019s time we own our own responsibility as well.We need to not only want to be decent men; we must learn to understand what that means.Letters The Record welcomes your letters to the editor.Please limit your letters to 300 words.We reserve the right

South's hand contains only 11 high- card points, but its shape makes it worth much more, given that partner has a heart fit.At the least, he should jump to three hearts to invite game, but as partner won't really know what is useful, South might as well shoot out four hearts.East won the first trick with his diamond jack and continued with the diamond ace to tap the dummy.Declarer couldn't afford to try to draw trumps, because when he gave up a trick to the club ace, East would have cashed two CROSSWORD more diamond winners.Instead, South immediately drove out the club ace.East continued with a third high diamond, on which West discarded a club.But declarer ruffed in the dummy, cashed the heart queen, and discarded his remaining diamonds on the club queen and jack.Yes, West ruffed the last of these, but that was with his natural trump trick.South had the rest.Across 1 Back (out) 4 Go by 10 Peak in Thessaly 14 Can.neighbor 15 City on the Liffey 16 Performs like Kanye 17 Eastern seaboard, facetiously 19 Frantically 20 Out in the open 21 Open in the garden 22 Narrow opening 25 Unlikely to run 28 Insinuate 31 Kitchen gadgets brand 32 Sneak attack 33 Dryly amusing 34 \"More info later\": Abbr.37 Increase security twofold .and what 17-, 25-, 46- and 58-Across literally do A |IDUJOJO|IT O|M|T|O|>|OIO Z1M|A|\u2014 23 Long rides?24 Preparing to flower 26 Handed-down tales 27 Gas in a tank 29 Syst.with hand signals 30 What a treater picks up 33 \"Says ___?\" 34 Touch-related 35 In __ daylight 36 Supplement 38 Garment worn in HBO's \"Rome\" 39 108-card game 46 Expensive 47 \"My Antonia\" novelist Cather 48 \"Hedda Gabler\" playwright 49 It won't hold water 50 Nick of \"Hotel Rwanda\" 51 Chain with a Smart Sense store brand 55 _ -deucey 56 Scoundrel 58 Stew vegetable 59 Mandela's org.60 15-Across locale: Abbr.61 2000s \"SNL\" notable Tina 40 Not hidden 62 Wrapping time 44 Merit badge org.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 [12 [13 14 15 16 _ 35 [36 40 \u2014 44 45 46 147 148 149 52 53 555 |56 57 60 [61 |62 63 65 66 68 p pressreader 50 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 10 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2017 production@sherbrookerecord.com The Record CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous paople, past and present.Each letter in the cipher stands for another.\u201cGX'\u2019'B LNX XVC EJBCLSC NW WCEF, GX\u2019 B NKCFSNHGLM GX.BNHCXGHCB ONA KC MNX XN JDEBX XVFNAMV ELT VEKC WEGXV.\u201d CHHE PEXBNL Previous Solution: \u201cThe problem for all women is we're identified by how we look instead of by our heads and our hearts.\u201d \u2014 Gloria Steinem TODAY'S CLUE: 1 stenba g REALITY CHECK où, NEAU- LOOKIN 500.77 27 IAS %A NL == UFS/Dist.by ee McMeel for UFS | 1O-I2 HERMAN HERMAN® 10-18 © LaughingStock Licensing Inc., Dist.by Andrews McMeel Syndication for UFS, 2017 \u201cD\u2019you want smokers or non-smokers?\u201d ALLEY OOP #7 OOP, IF YOU'D JUST LET'S GO, GIVE ME A CHANCE, | MENTIS!

However, we have run into a situation with my mother-in-law, as she is a smoker.My husband has mentioned to her several times about quitting smoking and has gone as far as telling her she will not baby-sit this child if she continues to smoke.I do agree that I do not want my child around secondhand smoke, as it is dangerous to a baby's health, not to mention stinky.At this time, my mother-in-law has made no effort to quit the habit.My question is: Where do you draw the line?I don't want my child or mother-in-law to miss out on any time or memories together.- Fume-Free Dear Fume-Free: The good news is that the pressure isn't on you here; it's on your mother-in-law.Her grandbaby or a cigarette - she has to decide which one she'd like to hold more often.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, secondhand smoke causes \"numerous health problems in infants and children, including more frequent and severe asthma attacks, respiratory infections, ear infections, and sudden infant death syndrome.\" Studies have shown that secondhand smoke can linger in a house for hours, and there's a growing body of evidence to suggest that even tobacco residue on a smoker's hair and clothes can be harmful to children who are in close contact.Have your husband set some ground rules with his mother that take these factors into account.For example, no holding the baby for two hours after smoking.(This would most likely mean she couldn't baby-sit.) He should also let her know that every cigarette takes about 11 minutes off her life - which could add up to hours, weeks and months she'd never see of her granddaughter's life.Perhaps the birth of your baby will be just the impetus she needs to kick this nasty habit once and for all.Dear Annie: I would like to ask a favor.Could we all just try to stand in each other's shoes and gain an appreciation for what someone else is going through?I am often bothered by what I perceive to be a lack of consideration in others.One recent example was when several \"friends\" canceled plans made two months in advance because something better had come along, even though I had carefully juggled several family members' medical appointments to accept their invitation.Another was when a medical provider canceled my appointment at the last minute to go golfing, even though I live two hours away and had made staff aware I was using my last day of vacation to schedule this date and confirmed in advance.Reading the responses you received regarding the woman who was criminally assaulted really got to me.None of us, as far as I can tell, has been the victim of such a harrowing and personal criminal sexual assault.Why the criticism of this poor woman for wanting to request a female nurse?You can't see a way for some people to receive extra consideration when that might not be necessary for everyone?I'm glad you gave your original advice, Annie, and I'm glad the medical professionals supported that advice.I'm glad you keep repeating it, too.I'm just sad that you have to.- Leave People Alone Dear Leave People Alone: Thank you for your letter.It is so frustrating when others are inconsiderate of our time - but we can only control ourselves.The best we can do is to nurture in ourselves the qualities we wish to see in others.Try to be even more empathetic than you are now and it might offset the frustration you feel with others' lack of thoughtfulness.Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.You Can Achieve Symptom-Free Asthma.We Can Help! www, Asthma.ca 1-866-787-4050 w{ Asthma.ca [* RENAISSANCE RESIDENCES POUR RETRAITES \u2026 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER D pressreader PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW "]
