MATTHEW MCCULLY By Matthew McCully According to a media rep from the ministère des Transports du Quebec, work on the 410 extension is 85 per cent complete.The ?nal stretch of the highway, connecting Route 108 with the 143 is expected to be accessible to drivers by the end of 2020.The exact date is still unknown, the rep said, adding there are a number of factors to consider, namely the weather.However, the MTQ is aiming to open up the ?nal length of highway before the new year.Work on the project will continue into 2021 as planned, the rep said, but the last minute ?xes and ?ne tuning will not impede traf?c in any major way once it opens.CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW Page 2 Tuesday, November 3, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Ben by Daniel Shelton The Record e-edition There for you 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week.Wherever you are.Access the full edition of the Sherbrooke Record as well as special editions and 30 days of archives.Renew or order a new 12-month print subscription and get a 12-month online subscription for an additional $5 or purchase the online edition only for $125.00 Record subscription rates (includes Quebec taxes) For print subscription rates, please call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com 12 month web only: $125.00 1 month web only: $11.25 Web subscribers have access to the daily Record as well as archives and special editions.Subscribing is as easy as 1,2,3: 1.Visit the Record website: www.sherbrookerecord.com 2.Click e-edition.3.Complete the form and wait for an email activating your online subscription.Weather TODAY: CHANCE OF FLURRIES HIGH -1 LOW -12 WEDNESDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH 6 LOW 1 THURSDAY: SUNNY HIGH 14 LOW 6 FRIDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH 14 LOW 4 SATURDAY: SUNNY HIGH 11 LOW 4 Anyone who wonders if angels truly walk among us, clad in robes, wings tucked behind them, or in the trench coats and suits of Wim Wenders\u2019 ?lms echoed in the character of Castiel in the Supernatural tv series, have not met Mary Hat?eld.Anyone who has, knows how angels dress.Jeans and glasses and curls, bright eyes and even brighter smiles, and they give hugs galore.Mary is both one of all of us, and glimmering at a higher vibration.For many years she organized the Youth Forum events through what was then called the Quebec-Sherbrooke Presbytery of the United Church.These events, populated by teens and young adults, were a youth- centric Townships Woodstock of sorts, weekends with sensitive theme subjects, guest speakers, attendees working in small groups discussing all types of life matters, sleeping in Townships school gymnasiums or church basements, attending church on the Sunday in the town where Yofo (a youth-given nickname) was held, the group by then bound to one another by fresh, new community, disheveled, a bit stinky, and forever changed.We changed with every Youth Forum we attended.We grew.We could feel it.It was emotional.Visceral.Needed.We were hungry for it, and didn\u2019t really know it.For togetherness, for community.Mary gathered us, but unlike a shepherd with a staff, she beamed and we drew closer to her.At least that\u2019s how it felt, in all of the tremendous focus and dedication she gifted our community with.That is her angel superpower.She is a beacon.And now Mary is resting, as comfortably as possible, here in the Townships, in palliative care.Mary, you taught us to reach into the tough subjects and to be there with them.When we experienced losses ourselves, you were there.You came into the places that were dark because we didn\u2019t know them, and shedding your light on them, they weren\u2019t as dark, or at least our eyes adjusted, as did our hearts.(You visited us at home when our Dad died, a very tired mother and three shaken teenagers.) You went there, gracefully.You went into the topics and places, and made them places where people weren\u2019t alone there anymore.You taught us that presence is sometimes all you need.To be there in the place together, to rise above it by walking in it, through it, familiarizing ourselves.My youngest is now a delegate (youth leader), and his Youth Forum community sustained him through quarantine, meeting weekly from the ?rst week through mid-summer and starting up again.They checked in, had a mini theme, dressed up, laughed, talked, mused, shared and this month they\u2019ll gather again virtually, missing being present with one another, but making the best of a tremendously challenging situation in our world.Decades later, the themes still circle around the same topics, morphed a little by social change, but always community-centric, always related to acceptance, knowledge, knowing the world a little more, expanded worldview, and how to connect.They always leave different, supersaturated in the best way, over?owing with love and belonging.It spills all over their houses and families following the events, like the laundry they bring home.Shanna Bernier carries the torch beautifully, even sending out care packages recently to young adults who have been feeling lonely and isolated of late.Mary, you taught us to walk together in the challenging topics \u2013 and here we are in the ultimate one that we, as a society, still try to avoid, but none of us will \u2013 the end of this life.So, let\u2019s walk.Let\u2019s walk in reminiscing at how all things can grow.Let\u2019s walk in how you changed the world \u2013 because the Yofo kids have spread out everywhere, your ?ock now farmers instead of sheep, and they all farm love.So many of us, artists, activists, scientists, technology experts, writers, and oh so many countless youth workers, social workers, caregivers and parents.We sow your glimmer, your love, we sow because what you gave us over?ows and never stops.You have gifted generations of community with a light that will never go out, even when your body and spirit transition to a different way of existing.We know that is coming.We know we can\u2019t stop it.We can be brave and be with you in it.We can remember that we\u2019re all a part of all things, of everyone.We hope you can be as comfortable as possible, and that your cup can \u2018over?ow with love\u2019 as we all loved to sing together.I was reminded as I thought of you today, of the song \u2018Linger\u2019 that we sang at the closing of Youth Forums, and it feels like that is the best thing I can send out from all of us, your ?ock, your farmers, sowing ?elds and worlds of love.The world is better for your presence, it transformed us all.\u2018Hmmm, I want to linger.Hmmm, a little longer.A little longer, here with you.Hmmm, it\u2019s such a perfect night.Hmmm, it doesn\u2019t seem quite right.Hmmm, that this should be, my last with you.Hmmm, and as the years go by.Hmmm, I\u2019ll think of you and sigh.Hmmm, this is good night and not goodbye.Hmmm, I want to linger.Hmmm, a little longer.A little longer\u2026 A little longer here with you\u2026.\u2019 We\u2019ll sing on, Mary, and with us, your legacy, in the very least, is immortal.We love you forever.The legacy of Mary Hat?eld and the farmers of love Sheila Quinn Dishpan Hands

life.More often than not, this delicate balancing act results in a non-existent social life, low income and causes a detrimental impact on physical and mental health.Record Staff The Fédération québécoise de l\u2019autisme (FQA) is reminding Quebecers to re?ect on the importance of caregivers in the province, as the organization celebrates National Caregiver Week, which began on Sunday and runs until Nov.7, 2020.The annual recognition week highlights the unheralded work caregivers provide on a daily basis.The federation took time to recognize the importance of volunteer healthcare workers in a statement Monday.Caregivers are often overlooked, the statement reads.They volunteer their time without a signi?cant cash incentive.They are often at risk of exhaustion and impoverishment, the federation declared.The FQA also lauded the Quebec government\u2019s efforts to create a better support system for caregivers.The National Assembly passed Bill 56 on Oct.28, 2020, which promises to develop a national policy for caregivers and launch an action plan.According to the FQA, when it comes to caregivers, especially family caregivers, daily tasks can be overwhelming, which can lead to a lack of self-care.The person they are taking care of becomes the top priority.It\u2019s a perilous juggling act, the FQA said, where one must balance family life, work life, and social life.More often than not, this delicate balancing act results in a non-existent social life, low income and causes a detrimental impact on physical and mental health.The FQA asks that Quebecers take time to learn more about the responsibilities of a caregiver, whether they take care of seniors or someone with intellectual disabilities.Society as a whole needs to offer more support to caregivers, the federation concluded.Autism Quebec celebrates National Caregiver Week Quebec invests $100 million in mental health Record Staff Lionel Carmant, Minister of Health and Social Services, announced a $100 million investment in psychosocial and mental health care and services for the people of Quebec, particularly targeted to reducing waiting lists.The investment, originally scheduled to be announced along with the government\u2019s next economic update on Nov.12, was pushed forward due to the circumstances of the last few days and the urgency of the situation.\u201cThis is an unprecedented investment in mental health and psychosocial health to respond to a situation that is equally unprecedented,\u201d explained Minister Carmant in a press release.\u201cThis investment will also allow us to act in a comprehensive manner: the needs are glaring and we are giving ourselves the means to take concrete action so that people will have faster access to services.I would like to remind all those who feel the need, especially with the events of the end of last week, that resources are available.Do not hesitate to ask for help,\u201d Carmant said.The $100 million will be divided into ?ve components: $35 million promoting access to mental health services for people waiting for these services in the public system ($25 million), as well as access to mental health services for young people aged 17 to 29 who are currently waiting for psychological services at the college or university level ($10 million).An additional $31.1 million is earmarked to maintain the enhancement of psychosocial and mental health services in health and social services institutions for the coming year, and $19 million will be used to create teams of workers to meet with vulnerable people and promote, prevent, detect and intervene early in the ?eld in order to address psychosocial problems.Community mental health organizations will receive $10 million in renewed funding for the coming year, and $4.9 million will go towards a digital suicide prevention strategy and the enhancement of the 1-866 APPELLE line.In September 2020, the percentage of people reporting anxiety symptoms was 37 per cent, more than double the rate observed during the ?rst wave of the pandemic.Con?nement ampli?es certain risk factors for mental and psychosocial health deterioration and increased distress related to isolation, loss of employment and income, feelings of worthlessness, limited social contact, as well as cognitive and psychological deterioration because of isolation and loss of stimulating social activities.investigations result in no clear origin for transmission, making it hard to name one particular problem area.Even with the rise in cases, the public health director pointed out that the majority of people in the Estrie Region have never been sick with COVID-19, and 2,377 of the 2,775 people who have caught the virus have recovered.While on the one hand tis could be seen as good news, the doctor also pointed out that it means the population remains vulnerable.\u201cWe are not immune,\u201d he stressed, arguing that even if the region has done well at following guidelines to date, people should not imagine the area to have some magic resistance to the virus.Quebec reported 1,037 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday alongside 12 more deaths, including one in the previous 24 hours.Health of?cials said hospitalizations increased to 499, three more than the previous day, while the number of people in intensive care dropped by three to 81.Quebec has reported a total of 108,018 COVID-19 infections and 6,283 deaths linked to the virus since the start of the pandemic.Estrie orange CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Record Staff Magog residents and employees are able to recycle single- use masks, after city of?cials had mask boxes installed in several municipal buildings.The community centre, Centre d\u2019arts visuels de Magog, Town Hall and Centre des services techniques are now equipped with boxes for the purpose of collecting disposable masks.The goal is to avoid sending these masks to a land?ll and protect the environment.The city will periodically gather the single-use masks to be treated and transformed into raw material, which, in turn, will be used to make new items.Of?cials hope to reduce the city\u2019s ecological footprint.In a press release, Magog Mayor Vicki- May Hamm said that ideally residents would wear reusable masks.However, she understands that some situations require the use of disposable masks, which is why she set this initiative in motion.\u201cBy offering this alternative to the population, we allow citizens to do their part in the face of the environmental challenges brought about by COVID-19,\u201d said

this time of year I wish I lived in Blanc Sablon, so I wouldn\u2019t have to put my clocks back to Local Standard Time.It\u2019s hard enough knowing we have to endure six months of fewer daylight hours without having go about the house in a ritual of \u201cfalling back\u201d.Maybe it\u2019s Covid stress that makes this seem more onerous this year.One thing for sure is more onerous: how to protect and grow the money you\u2019ve saved for longer term use like a vacation, down payment for a house or retirement.If you\u2019re a saver with no tolerance for risk, likely you\u2019ve been buying bonds or Guaranteed Investment Certi?cates (GICs).If you\u2019re a conservative investor and have followed conventional rules, likely you\u2019ve been operating on a 50-50 or 40-60 split for your savings: 40 to 50 per cent in ?xed income like bonds and 50-60 per cent in equity like stocks of publicly traded companies.The idea behind this is that in normal times you\u2019d be getting 3 or 4 per cent on the bonds which were more or less risk free, and the rest of your money would grow as the companies in which you were invested grew.If you save and invest with a bank or other ?nancial institution, you may have been investing in \u201cbalanced\u201d mutual funds - that is, balanced between bonds and stocks.Today, none of these strategies is a winning one.As long as the government keeps printing money to support the people whose jobs have disappeared because of the pandemic, interest rates will stay very low \u2013 today, the average yield on a 5-year government bond is 0.37 per cent, on a 10-year bond it\u2019s 0.64 per cent and on a long bond \u2013 that is over 10 years, it\u2019s 1.06 per cent.With an in?ation rate hovering around 1 per cent, everything you make on the bond side of your savings is eaten up by in?ation.If you\u2019re in mutual funds, you are paying the mutual fund managers as much as 2 per cent, so you\u2019re actually losing money on this part of your portfolio.There\u2019s more to worry about.Say you\u2019re prepared to accept this situation for a couple of years, until the pandemic has a solution and interest rates get back to near normal, meaning they get back to 2 or 3 per cent.Since the face value of bonds moves inversely to the interest rate, the face value of a 1 per cent bond will fall as interest rates rise to 2 per cent or more \u2013 the worst possible double whammy.What to do?The ?rst thing is to make sure you understand exactly what your savings are invested in.If you\u2019re in this situation, grit your teeth and ?gure out how much you\u2019re actually gaining each year and how much you need to be growing to reach your goal.If you\u2019re already retired, and you do your own investing, don\u2019t over-reach for income by buying the highest dividend stock you can ?nd \u2013 look for the best companies whose products are likely to be in demand, that pay a reasonable dividend that grows along with the company itself.If your savings are safe and you\u2019re reading this and thinking about your kids, even though they may roll their eyes, try to warn them to be careful about trading with the latest batch of online trading platforms such as Robinhood.This investing app charges no commission on trades, has 13 million customers, at least half of them ?rst-time investors, and 80 per cent of Robinhood\u2019s assets under management belong to millennials.There\u2019s also no one to call when the app goes down which is often - according to Downdetector, Robinhood has experienced outages every month so far in 2020.And the company is currently facing lawsuits due to outages in March.Try to impress on your kids that stock trading is not like playing poker, and that trading with a company that congratulates you with a confetti animation on your phone when you trade is not necessarily the way to growing your long-term assets.Dian Cohen is an economist and a founding organizer of the Massawippi Valley Health Centre.Cohendian560@gmail.com COURTESY Dian Cohen Why Men Keep their Underwear Forever By Linda Knight Seccaspina This morning I had to bring a HOLEY pair of boxers down to my husband Steve from the clean laundry and ask what was wrong with them.Actually, I threw them in front of him on the kitchen island.It was a 9:30 a.m.POP QUIZ from \u2018the wife\u2019.I was going to take a photo of them and text him but there was just nothing left of them- they were going straight to the garbage can.So, this had to be full on \u2018household shaming\u2019.He looked at them, smiled and said, \u201cI\u2019m sure if you want a photo to keep there are others upstairs!\u201d Did you know that an English survey found that men tend to hang onto their underwear for an average of at least seven years?But ladies, how long is long enough?Do you toss them after a certain period of time, or wait until they are considered an air conditioning unit?Here are my personal reasons why men keep their underwear so long.1.No skid marks\u2026no replacement necessary! 2.Central air conditioning is what makes OLD underwear far more preferable to new stuff.3.Recently widowed or divorced men have no clue what size they wear.4.As long as we\u2019re not making someone else wear it, I just don\u2019t see the problem, says my husband.5.Women have delicates.Unless have an accident, we are good to go.They are often indestructible.6.Oxyclean is probably ruining the underwear market in general, so I avoid multiple washings.7.\u201cTighty Whiteys\u201d aren\u2019t drugs or food whose age does determine its term of use.8.I keep all my clothes until they\u2019re in tatters.Underwear deserves no special treatment.9.I am certainly not going to stamp \u201cdo not use after dates\u201d on them.10.I mean, I chuck ones with holes more than an inch in diameter; anything smaller offers improved \u2018break wind\u2019 egress.11.Has there been a scienti?c study that shows underwear more than a couple of years old holds onto dirt, sweat, and bacteria more than new underwear?12.Keeping undies way over the expiration date is why God invented wives and girlfriends to buy men new underwear for Christmas.Men, we women understand that buying underpants probably doesn\u2019t top your list of enjoyable things to do, but we beg, no we plead, that you make this a priority in your life.And that my friends is why this mom buys her sons and signi?cant other underwear at birthdays and Christmas every year.COURTESY PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604

3, 2020 Page 5 New round of microgrants available in Des Sources and the Val-Saint-François By Gordon Lambie The Our Vital Community micro- grants program has opened a new round of applications for 2020-21.The local grant program aims to fund initiatives by citizens and/or community organizations that support the English-speaking community of the des Sources and Val-Saint-François MRCs taking place between now and March, 2021.Grants of up to $500 can be awarded to individuals, community groups or organizations, schools or municipalities.Projects funded are also eligible for support from the Richmond, Danville and Drummondville area CLC\u2019s Community Development Agents.Andrea Barrie and Nancy Dea helped organize projects that were funded by the program at this time last year.Where Barrie, along with Karine Brochu, helped to organize weekly craft nights for English-speaking women in the community, Dea, through the Parent Participation Organization at Asbestos Danville Shipton Elementary School, helped to organize a series of movie nights.Although both projects were cut short by spring shutdown, the organizers still acknowledged the important role the grants played in getting their ideas off the ground.\u201cThe $500 paid for the location,\u201d Barrie said, sharing that although there had already been a monthly scrapbooking group active in the community, having the space to do things on a more regular basis opened the doors to new people and new opportunities.\u201cIt was fun because you got to interact with different people from different age groups.We had a really good time,\u201d she added, explaining that in addition to coming together and working on projects, the group began to engage in skill-sharing activities where they learned from one another.But for the restrictions brought on by the pandemic, Barrie said, the group would absolutely have applied for the grant again.In Dea\u2019s case, the PPO had already been toying with the idea of a movie night activity within the school when the local Community Development Agent brought up the idea of applying for a grant.\u201cAt ?rst it was really just a school- based thing, but we realized that we had the potential to reach out to the community,\u201d she said, explaining that the school had been having dif?culty connecting with its community.Using the grant money to pay for the otherwise too expensive public screening permit, the organization put together a plan to host four public movie nights over the course of the year.On their test run opening night, the group drew a crowd of 70; far above expectations.In the end only two of the four nights ended up happening, but those two were successful, they said.\u201cOur goal was to make enough money after the four nights to pay for the permit this year without having to apply for the grant again, and we were on track to do that,\u201d the PPO member shared.The Our Vital Community microgrant funding project is a part of a larger action plan shared in a partnership between Richmond, Danville, Drummondville CLC with the ETSB, CDC Des Sources, CIUSSS- de-l\u2019Estrie-CHUS, ValFamille and Townshippers\u2019 Association.The partnership, known as Partners for the Vitality of the English-Speaking Community of the Val-Saint-François and Des Sources, works collaboratively to make a collective impact on the health and well-being of the English- speaking community by ensuring greater access to health, social services and community resources in English in the Val-Saint-François and des Sources community as well as promoting the involvement of citizens and building links between them.The project received ?nancial contributions from CIUSSS-de-l\u2019Estrie-CHUS through the CHSSN funding by Health Canada, under the Action plan for of?cial languages in Canada, as well as from the Valfamille concertation table.The next deadline for Our Vital Community microgrants is Nov.15, 2020 for projects that will take place up to March 15, 2021.For more information including application details, visit http://richmondhigh.etsb.qc.ca/community or contact Siu-Min Jim at 819 826-3702, extension 24026 or

the BU community safe, the march coordinators have created new, innovative ways to reach the student population and greater community through an online forum, a \u2018zine\u2019, and a stay at home march.Take Back the Night is a worldwide effort to combat sexual violence and violence against women.Since 2018, a small group of BU students have been organizing a march in solidarity with the worldwide movement.\u201cIt\u2019s really a march to bring the BU community together,\u201d said Anika Malone, one of the head coordinators for this year\u2019s march.\u201cIt gives a space for survivors to take back the voice, spaces, and power that was taken from them.\u201d Taking public health and safety into consideration, the Bishop\u2019s University TBTN group have decided to approach their campaign in a different way for 2020.\u201cWe\u2019ve really had to diversify things this year, considering we can\u2019t conglomerate,\u201d said Malone.\u201cWe\u2019ve actually redone everything for the event, starting with the forum.\u201d For two years now, the BU TBTN group has hosted a forum for students to discuss their concerns about sexual assault and gender-based violence on campus.This year\u2019s forum took place last week and was both in person and streamed virtually.\u201cThe forum is really what sets the tone for the whole year,\u201d said Scotia Sharpe, the second coordinator for the march.\u201cIt\u2019s where students bring their complaints, ideas, and comments about what they want to see done in the community, and we base our work off of the response.\u201d From the forum rose a list of desired actions from Bishop\u2019s students which includes support groups for men, extra security cameras and light in certain areas of campus, healthy sexual education, and a perpetrator data bank.These demands are all centered on minimizing harm in their community and moving forward to a safer, healthier university campus, and will be addressed by the new Sexual Culture Committee.\u201cWe were lucky enough to have the Indigenous Cultural Alliance speak at the forum and, since then, we\u2019ve had our social media campaign blow up,\u201d said Malone.The student community has come together in support for the movement by posting to their social media using the hashtag #IPledge.\u201cThere\u2019s been a bunch of individual friend groups, clubs, the rugby team, they\u2019re all participating and it hasn\u2019t slowed down,\u201d said Malone.\u201cI even have had teachers send in videos.\u201d The community support for the march has yet to falter and, even with the pandemic restrictions, the coordinators and committee are excited to approach the cause in a new way.\u201cWe\u2019re basically bringing the march to people\u2019s homes.\u201d said Malone.\u201cWe\u2019re going to have a live feed that people can tune into the speeches and we\u2019ll have committee members leading chants around town where students live.\u201d The stay at home march will be taking place on Nov.12 at 8 p.m.\u201cOur goal is to light up Lennoxville with sound in solidarity with survivors.\u201d added Malone.Bishop\u2019s University students

undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 6 Mallory Street, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 2E2 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA RECORD THE Letters Send out the clowns By Kyl Chhatwal Remember 2015?We had our own election that year.It ended in a rout.Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party won a thumping majority.They beat Stephen Harper and his Conservatives, who had been ruling since 2006.Why did that happen?Well, after nearly a decade of Harper, Canadians were worn out, morally speaking.Barbaric Cultural Practices Hotline.The hysteria over niqabs.Refusal to help Syrian refugees.It was not a political renewal that Canadians craved, but an ethical one.I have no idea if Harper was a good prime minister.I do know he wasn\u2019t exactly cuddly.Mostly, in 2015, Canadians just wanted the bad man gone.Something similar is happening in the United States.As you read this, Americans are voting.The results of that vote should, if the polls are correct (and that\u2019s a really big if), send their own political persona non grata packing.One of the fun things about tur?ng an unlikeable leader is that you also get rid of their supporting cast.Harper had more than a few unpalatable hangers- on that, blessedly, we haven\u2019t heard from much these past few years.Kellie Leitch, anyone?So I thought I\u2019d take a moment to pay an homage of sorts to all the Trumpian sycophants and grifters that, if the gods are kind, will disappear forever after inauguration day in January, thereby lightening the collective mood considerably.These folks include, in no particular order: Stephen Miller: Observers of Trump have long noted that he has no dominant belief system, besides believing in his own dominance.Therefore, he acts as a vessel for other dangerous ideologies that he picks up at random, the way a child picks up shiny stones on a beach.For instance: How to explain his af?nity for white supremacists?Well, we can probably thank Stephen Miller for that.He\u2019s the Grima Wormtongue of the Trump administration, the one whispering rotten nothings into the Great Leader\u2019s ear, convincing him his country would be a lot greater if it was a lot whiter.Remember Trump\u2019s crazy inauguration speech, railing about \u201cAmerican carnage\u201d?That was vintage Miller, in his one of his more uplifting moments.Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump: It was once reported that the president\u2019s eldest daughter and her tag-along husband actually despise Trump and mock him behind his back.I have no idea if this is true.But it seems ?tting, since, if Ivanka has learned anything from dad, it is to harbour no genuine affection for anyone, and to treat people simply as means to furthering her own ends.One of the most hilarious hypocrisies of the 2020 campaign has been Trump accusing Biden of nepotism.Unless Trump loses resoundingly to Biden, you can bet the farm that Ivanka, with Jared planted ?rmly at her side, will one day make a run for the presidency herself.In terms of naked and ruthless ambition, the Macbeths have got nothing on this couple.Kellyanne Conway: Speaking of twisted marriages.Ms.Conway\u2019s husband, George T.Conway III, is one of Trump\u2019s most outspoken and motivated critics.And yet Kellyanne, until recently, was on the Trump payroll, wielding her considerable rhetorical gifts and utter lack of shame to defend every despicable thing Trump ever tried to do (i.e.put kids in cages, ban Muslims, etc.).How exactly the Conways make their relationship work has been one of the great mysteries of the Trump years.We all knew Trump had a gift for ending marriages, but most ?gured it was only his own.Mike Pence: There\u2019s a pretty good chance that, like Ivanka, Pence will run for president one day, so we may not be rid of him just yet.Pence\u2019s great contribution to his nation\u2019s polluted discourse is his knack for delivering Trump\u2019s whackiest ideas (\u201cIt\u2019s time for the Space Force!\u201d) in that grave, father-knows-best way of his.Another mystery of the Trump years is where exactly Pence parked his deep Christian convictions, in order to play lackey to the least Christian man to ever be elected president.I could list many more Trumpian lackeys\u2014Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, most of the Republican Senate.By next January, we could stop having to hear about all of them! It\u2019s a tantalizing thought\u2026 until we remember that Trump could still actually win this thing.So maybe let\u2019s save the celebrating until all the votes are counted.DEAR EDITOR: Deputies from the region, mayors, representatives of the MRC Memphrémagog, political attachés.On November 1, 2019, the DUMP/MCI group, represented by three Americans and a Canadian, presented themselves in Burlington to the lawyers of the Casella Company to request an end to the treatment of 15,000 gallons of garbage juice (leachate) at the Newport plant which ?ows into Lake Memphremagog, a drinking water reservoir for 175,000 people.This plant has been recognized as non-compliant to treat this type of waste.After more than fourteen hours of negotiations with Casella, and more than $7,000.00 in legal fees paid out of their own pockets, the four volunteers obtained a moratorium from the company for four years.On January 16, 2020, a meeting organized by DUMP/MCI in Newport Vermont, received a delegation of elected Vermonters and Quebeckers, made up of deputies from the region, mayors, representatives of the MRC Memphrémagog, political attachés who will discussed the Coventry issue.Following an initiative by the mayor of Austin and president of the environment committee at the MRC Memphrémagog, Mrs.Lisette Maillé, Quebec players lunched together immediately after the Vermont meeting to establish a plan of action during this four-year moratorium.The new member of Parliament for Brome Missisquoi, Ms.Lyne Bessette, was elected president of the committee.An action plan was proposed so that everyone in their area of responsibility performs representations in Vermont so that the moratorium, which is due to end in 2023, be renewed in perpetuity.No more toxic product spills in our drinking water.Yes we had the coronavirus, yes American elections are taking place, yes everyone is very busy, yes the Casella Company continues its representations to Governor Scott and the Vermont Natural Resources Agency to resume the release of toxic product into the lake.Today, 1 of November, the ?rst year of the four-year moratorium is over.What does the Bessette committee propose to do, in the second, third and fourth year of the moratorium ?My good friends, deputies from the region, mayors, representatives of the MRC Memphrémagog, political attaches, we are counting on you.ROBERT BENOIT PRESIDENT, MEMPHREMAGOG CONSERVATION PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY

some, but one of my favourite things about ?sh and ?shing are how frequently both seem to humiliate me.An unhinged ego simply can\u2019t survive a bad skunking, or the adversity that water and wind can impose.The facial expression of an angler returning from a trip with sweaty clothes and umpteen bug bites, or hip waders ?lled with ice cold river water and no ?sh to show for it, is an unmistakably enlightened one.For obvious reasons, fall ?shing differs from summer ?shing.In general, the margins of error are narrower during fall, due in part to the season\u2019s less hospitable atmospheric conditions.The turning of all clocks backward by an hour in early November marks the end of \u2018sweater\u2019 fall and the beginning of \u2018jacket\u2019 fall\u2014a shift that is also worth noting if you\u2019re an angler.As fall progresses, the windows of ?sh-catching opportunity become increasingly small, and dedicated anglers have fewer daylight hours to work with.Adverse weather makes it more dif?cult to ?sh effectively during these windows, and anglers must maintain constant awareness of conditions and related ?sh activity while preparing to capitalize on ?eeting opportunities.Experienced ?shermen and women know that it\u2019s best to ?sh when weather and water conditions are nearest to optimal, and that proper clothing and equipment are necessary to actually perform the act of angling.Upon zooming out, the approach seems quite simple and obvious: try to be out when the ?sh are biting, and make sure that you\u2019re comfortable enough to take advantage.As you might have already imagined, I spent the past weekend devouring a slice of \u2018humble pie\u2019 that I was served on my most recent fall ?shing trip.My vision of things to come crystalized during the week of the trip, as I watched the weather forecast deteriorate over the course of several days.Knowing that my \u2018weekend off\u2019 would now consist of sub-zero temperatures, freezing rain, and high winds, I entertained thoughts of abandoning the initiative altogether.Thankfully, a kind friend convinced me that my conscience would weigh far less on Monday, if I would just put forth a respectable effort.Unfortunately, ?shing to avoid probable \u2018what ifs\u2019 and regrets is less pleasurable than ?shing because of favourable conditions and odds.\u2018Bad\u2019 ?shing trips are rare\u2014this statement is both cliché and true.I very rarely regret having gone ?shing, but I spend hours dwelling on potential improvements after an unsuccessful foray.I don\u2019t know how much of this speculation about improvement is constructive, and how much is only consolation, but I genuinely enjoy ?ddling with the puzzle pieces that might someday ?t together and depict what Izaak Walton famously dubbed the \u201cCompleat Angler\u201d.In hour thirty- six of last weekend\u2019s trip, I found myself contemplating this, while my hands grew numb to the cold, and my ears nearly deaf to the sounds of the howling wind.Only moments later, the storm clouds that had come to de?ne the trip parted suddenly and unexpectedly, allowing the sun\u2019s intense rays to warm my back side and produce a full November rainbow directly in front of me.I don\u2019t believe this was anything but coincidental, and yet it seemed like the perfect resolution to my internal con?ict.I typically don\u2019t subscribe to any conventional notion of a higher power, but my experiences in nature occasionally grant me a window into the lived experience and feelings of the millions who do.I sometimes wonder if my time on the water is genuinely well-spent, and if my obsession with angling mastery is healthy.And yet, my efforts to answer such questions are rewarded periodically, in moments where the value of spending a stormy November day ?shing become self- evident.A slice of humble pie Andrew Howarth On The Hook ANDREW HOWARTH Perhaps \u2018seeing the light\u2019 is meant for literal, as well as metaphorical interpretation.PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT

for years but have yet to see anything about my problem.I tend to sweat a lot, not under my arms, but in my crotch area.It\u2019s embarrassing and even causes me to get a lot of UTIs.I\u2019ve tried panty liners and medicated powders, wear only cotton underwear, but nothing works.I\u2019m so frustrated.What can I do?Dear Reader: Excessive sweating that isn\u2019t a response to either heat or exertion is known as hyperhidrosis.When sweat glands are overactive in one speci?c location, it\u2019s referred to as focal hyperhidrosis.The condition is believed to arise from overstimulation of the sweat glands by the autonomic nervous system, although why this occurs is unclear.Excessive sweating in the armpits and around the head and face are the most common types of hyperhidrosis.The folds of skin beneath the breasts are another area of focal hyperhidrosis.Although less common, sweating in the area of the groin is a problem for many women.Researchers recently conducted a survey of close to 2,000 adults who are registered users of the International Hyperhidrosis Society website, found at sweathelp.org.In that survey, 43% of respondents reported experiencing excessive sweating in the groin area.Our bodies use sweat to stay cool.When certain physiological signals let the brain know the body is at risk of exceeding its optimal temperature range, they direct the sweat glands to release moisture.This results in an evaporative effect, which helps to cool the skin and regulate temperature.And while sweating in the crotch area is a normal function of this cooling system, sometimes the signals go awry.Some women ?nd relief with topical antiperspirants.These use chemical compounds to temporarily plug the pores through which sweat exits and reduce the amount of moisture that is released.However, antiperspirants can be irritating to delicate skin and tissues, and they should be kept away from the vagina.Two therapeutics, which have been approved by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration for excessive underarm sweating, are ?nding off-label use in other types of focal hyperhidrosis.One, a prescription medication called Qbrexza, is a premoistened towelette saturated with a medication.It is applied once daily to the affected skin.Also approved for excessive underarm sweating is Botulinum toxin A, more widely known as Botox.Some physicians are reporting success with off-label uses of these medications, including for hyperhidrosis in the crotch area.However, it\u2019s important to understand that neither of these medications are FDA-approved for hyperhidrosis in any region other than the underarms.When it comes to Botox, the amount of the drug required for the crotch area can make the treatment quite costly.It\u2019s also very important that the physician providing the treatment is well-versed in the speci?c injection strategies that are being pioneered.If you haven\u2019t already, please consult with your health care provider.They can help you with strategies to lessen the incidence of UTIs and other infections.They can also offer guidance if you choose to pursue other options.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of

South\u2019s double promised length and strength in at least one major and interest in trying to extract a penalty from the opponents.North\u2019s four no-trump indicated a minor two-suiter with longer clubs than diamonds.Then, when South preferred diamonds, North raised.West led the heart eight.East won with his ace and shifted to a spade.Not good enough.The declarer, Francesca McGrath, won with her ace, took two diamond ?nesses, played a club to the ace, cashed the club king, ruffed a club, ruffed a spade, drew West\u2019s last trump and claimed.The winning defense against six diamonds was for East to lead his club at trick two.Stranded on the board, declarer would have been unable to reach her hand to pick up the diamond queen.Tough!
