of people.BCS Terry Fox Run turns 32 By Corrinna Pole Lennoxville On September 2,1980, a heartbroken Terry Fox announced to the world he was cancelling his crosscountry fundraising mission for cancer research.The end of Fox’s mission marked the beginning for other groups and communities, like Lennoxville, that have taken up the cause and have continued running ever since.Terry Fox’s 3,339 mile Marathon of Hope raised an estimated $1.7 million over 143 days to help find a cure for all cancers.A week after it was cancelled, a national telethon added $10.5 million to his efforts.On November 30, 1980, the Lennoxville Runners' Association held the first of what would become many runs at the Bishop’s College School campus.The community event that welcomed participants from Lennoxville, Sherbrooke and the surrounding areas raised $3,000.Terry Fox passed away on June 28, 1981, but Canadians have since dedicated the month of September to the iconic Canadian hero and his mission with a host of fundraising activities and a national run.For the 32nd year, Lennoxville will again hold the run at BCS and the private schools Athletics Director Jeff Bray is hoping for sunny skies and plenty of people.The long time event organizer has seen the event through a decade of searing sun and buckets of rain and varying amounts of participants and donations.“It’s been up and down,” Bray said of reaching the monetary goals.“In the past we had Velmore Smith.he was a wonderful guy and a Sherbrooke Record carrier for years and years, he would get pledges and do a lot of fundraising outside Provigo and he raised more then $85,000.Awhile back he moved out west with his aunt and we’ve been slowly climbing back since.” The year after Smith moved away, Bray says the event only generated between $5,000 and $6,000 on average.But times have gotten better.Last year over 450 walkers, runners and cyclists helped raise more than $15,000 which was handed over to the Terry Fox Foundation to help fight cancer.Since it’s open to everyone in the community, Bray says the fun family oriented event has attracted participants as young as two years old to more experienced walkers and runners in their 90’s.Various athletic teams from Alexander Galt Regional High School, Stanstead College, Champlain College and Bishop’s University also get involved in the action."The run has always had great support from the community and we get a couple of local people every year who are personally affected by cancer, we do a lot for a little community,” said Bray.Registration for the

Sherbrooke ombudsman was officially opened .X.on Tuesday, with mayor Bernard Sévigny and the ombudsman’s secretary general Michèle Emond were there to speak about how this service will serve the city’s residents.“I’m very proud of the implementa- tion of this new body,” Sévigny said in a statement.“Every citizen now has the assurance that they will be heard and have their rights protected.” Citizens interested in having the ombudsman intervene in any situation will have to fill out a form made available online, in the office as well as in many mu- nicipal service locations like borough offices.“We will make sure the service is well-known and accessible to the public,” Emond said in the statement.“We have thus developed a brochure and a website explaining in detail the areas (the ombudsman) will intervene, the way to file a request and the proper path to follow.” The ombudsman’s office, which will be opened for the first time since it was shut down in 2007, is now located at 600 Thibault street.More information can be found at the body’s new website, om-budsmansherbrooke.ca.Judge shuts down U de S - Cont’d from page 1 said during his ruling against the injunction.“With the information in front of me today, I can’t issue a provisional order.” The university representatives requested the injunction based on their perception that multiple offenses committed by striking workers, including the intimidation of staff still at work and of companies that supply the school in various ways, were infringing on the school’s property rights and ability to “protect the rights and dignity of their employees.” As a result, they did not want the striking workers on any of the three campuses, including the medical and Longueuil campuses, or in any of the buildings with the exception of the union office located in the school’s Sherbrooke facility.“The intention of the university is to continue to negotiate towards an agreement with the union,” the university’s lawyer André Fournier said of why they were making an exception for the union office.Yvan Morin, the lawyer representing SEESUS, argued that no infractions had been committed and that the striking workers had a right to be on a campus where many of them do much more than go to work.“It’s a city within a city,” Morin said of the campus.“There are people who go to the banks, people who take the bus, people who go to the sports centre, people who go to the daycare.” For Morin there was no justifiable reason to prevent the workers from being on campus, especially considering the fact they voluntarily limit their strike to a small area of the grounds far from most of the buildings.He also added that the union represented student workers who need to be on campus to go to class.“They’re trying to use the superior court as a lever to squeeze the vice tighter on the union,” Morin said of the injunction request, which he called “abusive.” The two parties did come to an agreement on one section of the injunction while in court on Monday.The judge ruled separately in favour of the university’s request that striking staff not be permitted to access the school’s central computer system, something the Morin agreed to with the exception of the SEESUS members being allowed to access and use their email accounts on that server.The university, which claimed it had evidence of one BEST BUY

addition of a clause allowing email access and that matter was settled almost immediately.Overall, SEESUS president Stéphane Caron said he believes the injunction was the university’s means to prevent the union from seeing any violations of anti-scab laws being committed by the school.The union released information at the end of last week in which they claimed they had evidence of at least seven violations committed by employees still at work for the school.Caron also said that the simple fact that the university chose to take legal action in this manner demonstrated their approach to this whole conflict thus far.“The university should, instead of undertaking legal parency and openness,” he said.“Because right now there are 1,400 workers on strike and with the strong vote we had last Friday, where 98 per cent of workers rejected the university’s offer, taking legal action is not helping to bring the two sides closer to an agreement.” Caron added that no plans had been made to sit down with the conciliator and negotiate for the time being, and that the union was waiting for a “serious offer.” Approximately 1,400 support staff workers at the Université de Sherbrooke have been on general strike since Aug.26.procedures, demonstrate trans- FUTURE SHOP On page 20 ol the September 9 Dyer, please note that the Incorrect cover art was shown tor X Men.First Class DVD edition (WeblD

we love him no matter what.He’s an amazing guy and we love him no matter what,” she said before rolling up the window.She refused to give her name.Ramirez retired in April from the Tampa Bay Rays after he tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance.Rather than face a 100-game suspension for a second violation of Major League Baseball’s drug policy, the 12-time all- star left the game.Ramirez previously served a 50-game ban in 2009 with the Los Angeles Dodgers.Second-time offenders get double that penalty.One of the game’s great sluggers, Ramirez was named MVP of the World Series in 2004 and helped the Boston Red Sox end an 86-year title drought.He was selected 13th overall by the Cleveland Indians in the 1991 amateur draft out of New York City and rose quickly through the minor leagues with youthful exuberance and natural charisma.He broke into the majors in 1993 and played his first full season the following year, when he finished second to the Royals’ Bob Hamlin in voting for rookie of the year.Ramirez went on to establish himself as one of the game’s most feared hitters, adopting a dreadlock hairdo that seemed to mirror his happy-go-lucky demeanour.He signed with the Red Sox as a free agent in December 2000, helping the long-suffering franchise win the World Series a few years later, then doing it again in 2007.The Red Sox traded him to the Dodgers in July 2008.He instantly became a fan favourite on the West Coast, with “Mannywood” signs popping up around town, as he led Los Angeles to the NL West title and a sweep of the Chicago Cubs in the playoffs.The clutch performances earned Ramirez a $45-mil-lion, two-year contract.All that goodwill fizzled the following May, when Ramirez tested positive for human chorionic gonadotropin, a banned female fertility drug often used to help mask steroid use. The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com Wednesday, September 14, 2011 Page 11 DR-GOTT DSAP difficult to treat By Peter H.Gott, M.D.DEAR DR.GOTT: I am a healthy 52-year-old female who has suffered from DSAP (disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis) most of my adult life.I have hundreds of bright red spots on each arm and leg.Many people steer clear of me, thinking it’s some type of contagious disease, and many will say, “Oh, you’ve been in poison oak,” or something similar.I have to wear long pants in the summer, even at the beach.There appears to be very little information about DSAP, and my dermatologist says that my case is one of the worst she’s ever seen.No treatment seems to help.I’ve used Retin-A, Efudex, and every other prescription cream and ointment that my dermatologist knows of.We even tried freezing them with liquid nitrogen.I have actually had as many as 25 done on each arm and leg at one office visit, but they inevitably come back.My spots are generally bright red and itch, and seem to be inflamed after exercise.Any type of lotion makes them even redder.I am very cautious when going outside, use a sunscreen religiously, and visit my dermatologist every three months to check on the spots.Is there anything you can suggest?Perhaps others may have some home remedies that have been successful.DEAR READER: Unfortunately, there is little I can tell you that you don’t already know.Disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) is an uncommon skin condition that is caused by abnormal sun sensitivity.This leads to pre-cancer-ous skin cells developing wherever sun damage has occurred.It primarily appears on the arms and legs, as these are the most sun-exposed areas of the body.It is most often diagnosed in fair-skinned individuals, middle-aged and older.The lesions develop only after the damage has occurred and appear as reddish-brown, scaly spots.Once formed, the spots then spread and form a ring or circle.Following sun exposure, the affected areas may itch or appear to grow.While it is uncommon for these pre-cancerous lesions to develop into true skin cancer, it is important to have reg- ular exams by a dermatologist.Any lesion that becomes red, crusty or scaly needs a prompt exam and possible biopsy to determine if the change is due to cancer.There is little in the way of treatment, no long-lasting results and no cure.Current recommendations are that sufferers avoid further sun damage by wearing long sleeves and pants and using high SPF sunscreen.The prescriptions Retin-A, Tazorac, Efudex and Aldara may offer some help, albeit slight and typically short-lived.Cryosurgery (freezing) may be an option, but it can cause hypopigmentation (loss of skin color).It is usually reserved for the largest lesions.Photodynamic therapy — a photosensitizing drug applied to the skin, followed by exposure to a certain type of light — creates activated oxygen molecules that destroy nearby cells; however, it has been used with mixed results.DSAP isn’t contagious.In fact, most cases are inherited, while others appear to be caused by an immune system that isn’t working as well as normal.I am not aware of any home remedies.You appear to have run the gamut of available treatments.My recommendation is to stick with your current regimen and follow your dermatologist’s advice.DEAR DR.GOTT: My daughter is sick all the time and has been for more than six years.She will be 22 this August, has had several live-in boyfriends and is currently living on her own with a dog in a mobile home.She cannot hold down a job or stay in school.One doctor she has seen seems to think she might have Crohn’s, but nothing shows up in blood tests when seeing other doctors.Is she using this as an excuse?She will catch any flu or cold bug that comes around, and it will knock her out of commission.She has at least 20 body piercings and multiple tattoos, to boot.So, with all of the body piercings, could her immune system be compromised to the point that there is nothing left to fight off everyday germs?I also wonder if depression could cause any of her symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever and an occasional kidney stone.I have talked with her about this numerous times, and she refuses to go for counseling.She would rather sit home and be sick all the time and let life pass her by because there is nothing that can help her.DEAR READER: There is a great deal that can be done, but she must be willing.While she may have had testing in the past, she should begin with a clean slate.She should undergo a complete examination, get a baseline EKG, chest X-ray, urine analysis and culture, if necessary, to rule out low-grade infection; lab testing to check for hepatitis, anemia and thyroid disorders; and anything else her physician deems appropriate.Infection from the piercings and/or tattoos, if present, should be identified or ruled out during the physical exami- nation.To the best of my knowledge, tattoos and piercings do not weaken the immune system.Kidney stones can be the result of improper diet, illicit or prescription drugs, heredity or insufficient fluid intake.Sometimes they can be prevented by drinking up to three quarts of water every day and by remaining physically active.Not all stones cause symptoms, but when they do, pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, blood in the urine and malaise can occur.Crohn’s disease (inflammation of the digestive tract) should be investigated and either ruled out or treated.Crohn’s can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, arthritis, fever and more.Treatment will depend on the location and severity of symptoms.Diagnosis can be made through an upper GI series X-ray, sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy.Treatment, if necessary, will likely begin with medication, nutritional supplements and surgery when and if conservative measures fail to provide relief.Once any obvious medical conditions have been ruled out, you can move on to her depression.This is a consuming condition best treated with therapy and, unfortunately, you may not be the best person to recommend it.Leave that to her doctor who might have a better chance of getting her the help she needs.She has nothing to lose but the rut she is stuck in and everything to gain in that she is only 22 with a full life ahead of her.She needs to make the initial move if she is ever to feel good about herself.Express your concerns, and ask for her indulgence in seeing a new physician.Then step back and hope for the best.To provide related information,

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 classad@sherbrookerecord.com The Record I want you to know there are many of us who wouldn’t replace our mates for all the money in the world.Dear Annie: A while back, I signed up for Facebook in order to stay in touch with friends and renew old acquaintances.Several weeks ago, my husband’s 35-year-old daughter, “Sheila,” sent me a friend request.She has not been in touch with us since she turned 18, when my husband no longer had to pay child support.Obviously, they were never close.The only time we heard from her was when she wanted money.I told my husband about the request, and he said to ignore it.But Sheila is now married with a child, and I’d like to think she has since matured and wants to reconnect with her father.Of course, his impression is that she wants something from us.Out of respect for my husband’s wishes, I did not respond to Sheila’s request.Even though I have no desire to be Facebook friends with my husband’s daughter, I feel stuck in the middle.I think he should get to know her again and meet his grandchild.I do not want to go behind his back to establish contact.What should I do?— Stuck in the Middle in Kansas Dear Stuck: We hope your husband realizes that an 18-year-old girl is apt to behave much differently than a 35-year-old married mother.As the adult during the divorce, it was your husband’s responsibility to maintain a relationship with his child and not allow her adolescent anger to get in the way.We think Sheila deserves another chance, and so does your husband.Encourage him to make contact.He has a grandchild to think of.And if she’s only after money, he’ll find out soon enough.(And he can always say “no.”) Dear Annie: I am a single mom in my 40s.I’ve been divorced for two years and am dating again for the first time in more than 20.1 recently met a great guy.I was very upfront and let him know early on that I was looking for a long-term relationship.I am very traditional when it comes to dating and marriage.In turn, he made it clear that he was not sure what he wanted.We go out to dinner and dancing, and I’ve met several of his friends.This seems like a relationship to me, but I don’t want to make assumptions.It’s only been six weeks, but I need to know: Should I just be patient and let it play out?Or do I talk to him again and tell him how I feel at this point?My heart and my head are telling me two different things.— Hopeless Romantic Dear Hopeless: You are in too big of a hurry to make this permanent.Yes, it’s a “relationship,” but that means nothing when it comes to the long haul.This guy has told you that he isn’t ready to commit.You haven’t been dating all that long, and if you demand to know his future intentions now, you will push him away.You can enjoy what you have and hope there is more down the road.But if you are in a rush to get married, look elsewhere.Dear Annie: I sympathize with “Tired of Wet Beds,” whose 14-year-old stepson has enuresis.I went through the same thing with my daughter, who wet the bed until she was 11.I discovered that an allergy to the lactose in milk can cause bedwetting.After my daughter was off whole milk for three days, she stopped wetting the bed completely.If the stepson has any sensitivity to dairy products or if he was allergic to milk as a baby, this could be the root cause.There are milk products available with pre-digested lactose already in them that might help.Taking him off dairy for a few days will not hurt him and may prove an easy and inexpensive solution to the problem.— Been There, Done That Dear Been There: Dozens of readers suggested that lactose intolerance could be a factor in bedwetting.We hope “Tired” will check it out.Dear Annie: My husband is cold and distant.We have been married 20 years, and if his behavior doesn’t change, this soon-to-be “empty nester” will fly the coop.“Clive” has always been the quiet type, but for the past 15 years, he’s made it clear that he doesn’t want to do any socializing, including going out with friends or family.He gets along great with his siblings, but won’t entertain them.If we go out anywhere in public, Clive won’t walk near me.If I ask for his opinion, he tells me to quit nagging.If he doesn’t get his way, he pouts.If I try to have a conversation, he says, “I don’t want to talk now.” Of course, then he gets angry when he isn’t up to date on the latest family events.I compliment him on the work he does around the house, but I never receive any compliments in return.In the evenings, I often see him jotting things down on a list, but if I ask about it, you’d think I was asking him to divulge government secrets.Clive has built a fortress around himself.Our children are heading off to university soon, and I can’t tolerate this behavior much Iqnger.I have kept my sanity by creating my own social networks, interests and activities that do not involve him.What should I do?— Tired of Being Outside the Fortress Dear Tired: You need to ask yourself if you still love Clive, and whether you are better off with or without him.After 15 years of fortress life, we can understand your frustration.Does he know you are ready to walk out when the kids leave home?Please tell him.He might be receptive to counseling if you explain that the marriage is in serious jeopardy.You have nothing to lose by trying.Dear Annie: The love of my life died three years ago shortly after being diagnosed with cancer.Friends and coworkers sent cards and donations.It took me almost a year to realize I had to move out of our home.I still had not pared down our belongings be- cause I was constantly exhausted and everything seemed to have sentimental value.So I rented a storage space and piled things there.The problem is, I didn’t know the pile included the sympathy cards and contributions.I finally found the energy to go through the storage space and discovered the thank-you cards I never wrote and the checks that were never cashed.What do I do?Should I return the expired checks?How can I possibly thank them now?— Arizona Dear Arizona: It is never too late to write a thank-you note.Return the uncashed checks, saying you are so sorry you didn’t acknowledge them sooner, but it has taken longer than you realized to put your life back together.Be sure to let them know how much their kind thoughts were appreciated.Most people are very forgiving of the bereaved.Dear Annie: You receive so many unhappy letters.I want you to know there are many of us who wouldn’t replace our mates for all the money in the world.John and I just celebrated our 40th anniversary.We have two sons, 31 and 33.One is a doctor, and the other owns two successful stores.I was fortunate enough to have a home business while they were growing up.I was a PTA president and coached baseball, soccer and kids’ bowling, and was around when they came home from school every day.My husband had a demanding job, but he, too, spent as much time with the boys as possible.Their success today is due to his support and encouragement.I probably don’t tell John enough how much I love him and how important he is to us, but we think he is the best man in the world.—

“When the glacier sees the spring sun, he weeps,” is a Norwegian proverb.I guess if you have spent a month or more not seeing the sun, you can relate to that.The city of Stavanger has a huge party when the sun returns in January.Here is another deal from my cruise to Norway two months ago.Look at the West hand.East opens one spade, West raises to two spades, North makes a takeout double, and South advances with three diamonds, which ends the auction.What should West lead?Note the disciplined auction.East has a perfectly respectable one-spade opening, but when West can offer only a single raise.East should not go higher, because he has no extra values or spade length.Equally, West said his piece on the first round.When you have supported your partner’s suit, lead high from a low tripleton to deny an honor.If West does this, East should find the right defense.He must win with his spade king and shift to the club king — under which West should signal enthusiastically with his nine to show the jack.A moment later, when West gets in with the heart ace, a club continuation gives North 09-14-n * Q 10 V K 10 9 7 ?A Q 10 9 * A 8 3 East ?A K 9 8 2 V 4 3 2 ?J 2 ?K Q 10 South 4 J 6 4 V Q 8 ?K 8 7 6 5 *764 Dealer: East Vulnerable: North-South South West North East 1 ?Pass 2* Dbl.Pass 34 Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: ?West *753 * A J 6 5 * 43 * J 9 5 2 the defense five tricks: two spades, one heart and two clubs.Note that if West leads the spade three at trick one.East will assume West has a spade honor, which must be the jack.It would then be safe for East to start with two spade winners before switching to clubs.Here, though, that is fatal because South discards a club from the dummy on his spade jack.CROSSWORD Across 1 Wasn’t renewed 7 Fiend’s tail?10 Biographical
