the purest voice of electrons - in an oxide superconductor.This discovery opened a new avenue in the quest for room temperature superconductors.” In September, Taillefer told the Record that he was at the height of his career and would be working in the years to come to try and better understand how superconductors work, and what is needed to make them work better, specifically at room temperature.If he succeeds, Taillefer said the implications could be extremely significant.“The current practical applications of superconductivity are to produce large magnetic fields (by passing large currents in superconducting coils),” Taillefer explained at the time.“A room-temperature superconductor would cause a major technological revolution.It would enable electricity generated by solar energy in the Sahara to be transported under the Mediterranean Sea without loss to Europe, for example.Or wind energy generated in the centre of the US to be carried over to New York or California very effectively.” Taillefer will officially be awarded his Killam prize at a ceremony at Rideau Hall on May 15.Small fire at BCS A Bishop’s College School building was evacuated Friday afternoon after an electric radiator briefly caught fire.Firefighters located the radiator at the root of the smoke and quickly extinguished the fire.The few students and staff on site at the time of the incident were evacuated as a precaution.A representative from the fire department could not be reached for comment Monday.Art auction Sixty-six works from regional artists and beyond will go on the block this Wednesday when the Eastern Townships chapter of the Alzheimer Society holds its annual art auc-j tion at the Delta Sherbrooke.The event has been a major fundraiser for the society for the last 21 years and will help the non-profit chapter to continue to inform and support some of the 5,000 Townships residents, and their families, who suffer from the disease.Tickets for the 5:30 p.m.event, which includes wine and cheese, can be purchased for $85 from Banque Nationale branches, or directly from the Estrie Alzheimer Society at 819-821-5127 or info@alzheimerestrie.com Bishop’s students Cont’d from page 1 and I discovered strengths I never knew and went through it because of the love of my family,” Cassar said.“I am in remission, feeling great and have many things to do.” It was while she was in the hospital that Cassar learned what a “great cause” Leucan was as it offered all levels of physical, medical, emotional and financial support to cancer stricken children and their families from the point of diagnosis onward.“I became aware of the cost parents with young children must incur, especially if they have to go outside their hometown for care or leave their jobs temporarily,” said Cassar.“So the first thing I asked my family while in the hospital was to participate in the 12 hour Ski Challenge in Bromont [in 2010|.They raised more than $25,000 with their friends.” Her family continued their support in 2011 when her brothers Peter and Matthew first brought the head shaving challenge to their company SherWeb and raised $6,196.55.With her brothers bringing the challenge back for a second time and her sister-in-law Caroline Grégoire serving as regional spokesperson for the event, Cas- sar decided bringing the challenge to campus would be her contribution.Between a busy school schedule, Cassar spread the word and found a supportive school community ready to help and campus businesses willing to contribute prizes.“5ince Leucan was not really known at BU, I think 1 was very lucky to have the participation and the support of the students,” said Cassar.“For a first experience it is a success and maybe someone will be able to improve on this first challenge.It is worth supporting the kids and the families who have to face cancer.” Thursday’s buzz at Bishop’s was a precursor to several other head shaving events scheduled to take place throughout the Townships starting late next month.In addition to individual business sites, shaving events have been planned for May 26 at Magog's Ski Vein Vincent Renaud, in Sherbrooke on May 27 at Carrefour de 1’Estrie and June 16 in Asbestos at Club Social Escadron C and at the Parc des Veterans in Lac-Megantic.DART .TOURANAMENT STARTS AT 1 P.M.Mixed doubles/ bring your own partner FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BREAST CANCER SOCIETY 7 games 301 $5./player For information Mary Dezan 819-823-1392 Saturday, April 14 Old Lennoxville Golf Course Everyone welcome!

The Record nevvsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, April 10, 2012 Page 5 Successful fundraising campaign for Wales Home By Nick Fonda Special to The Record Richmond ANNE TRPMBI.AY Left to Right: Ralph Farley, Brendalee Piironcn, Marc-André Martel.Some 70 people gathered for a celebratory reception at the Wales Home on Tuesday evening, April 3 to mark the end of a very successful fundraising campaign.Ralph Farley, who sits as president of the Board of Governors of the Wales Home, as well as chairman of the Executive Committee, was president of this year’s annual Wales Home Foundation campaign and had good reasons to be pleased.“The 2011-12 campaign was the most successful we have ever had,” he says, pointing out that the Foundation raised $400,000 in 2009-10, $417,000 in 2010-11, and $462,000 this year.“I didn’t perform any miracles,” the campaign president quickly points out.“This kind of success doesn’t happen overnight.This was my first year as president of the campaign and Ï was riding on the coat tails of Nils Bodtker who served in this post for the last four years.He was personally very generous and led by example.We want to keep building on his success.” “Just five years ago,” he notes, “the Wales Home was down and out.Operating expenses were burning through the Home’s capital fund at a rate of $1 million a year.We’ve managed to turn that around.The money raised by the Foundation makes a real difference.Last year the Wales Home invested over $860,000 on improvements which included electric beds, new windows, renovated whirlpool bathrooms, renovated kitchens in the apartments, medical equipment and much more.The Home recently installed a new Wi-Fi monitoring system which provides the residents with a safe environment using least restrictive alternatives within the building and exterior grounds.With the new system, response time to someone who calls for help is 30 seconds.” “As well,” he adds, “over the last few years we have increased staff at the home, in particular extra caregivers and nurses.At the present time the Home has about 176 residents and 145 employees which means there are about five staff members for every six residents, an enviable ratio.” The Wales Home is less than a decade from its hundredth anniversary and has a history of attracting residents from near and far.About one third of the people served by the Home come from the immediate area, another third come from other parts of the province like Montreal or Quebec City, while the remaining third come from other parts of Canada or even the United States.Ralph Farley's involvement with the Wales Home is not without a family precedent.His mother, Lucille Farley, worked at the Home from 1969 to 1986, the last 17 of those years as Matron, a position which today would carry the title of Director of Health Care and carries with it the responsibility of 100 employees.“Looking ahead.” Ralph Farley says, “it’s up to us to continue to work to ensure that the Wales Home remains a first class institution.Raising money is one thing but the Home also depends on people and we’re fortunate to have the inspirational leadership of Brendalee I’i-ironen.Her enthusiasm rubs off on both employees and the Board.We see what she’s doing and that moves us to want to do our share as well.In addition to everything else, she raised some $375,000 for three new elevators." “We have an ageing population,” he continues, “and we will continue to need quality care for our seniors.1 personally would like to see the Wales I lome expanded." The Wales Home is located just outside of Richmond and can be contacted at 819 826-3266.Many Townshippers, Canadians sdll without access to basic TV The Sherbrooke-based Association coopérative d'économie familiale de l'Estrie (ACEF Estrie) is calling on local elected officials to pressure the federal government to come to the aid of the many residents who lost access to channels following the switch from analog to digital television last fall.According to ACEF-Estrie and the Union of Consumers many problems still exist following the transition and even those who purchased digital converters are being deprived of channels.ACEF Estrie spokesperson Sylvie Bonin said in a statement that despite earlier affirmations that viewers should not be deprived of their right to access to traditional television services, the CRTC has responded to complaints by saying that problems were infrequent and that people need only subscribe to a cable provider."They even said that people have had free TV long enough” Bonin stated, noting that the majority of people who contacted her organization could not afford cable.“The situation is even more scandalous since many of those affected are among the most vulnerable in our society.Television is often one of their only means of entertainment and access to information and culture.” In light of these difficulties, the two organizations are calling on the federal government to provide citizens with digital access equivalent to the analog television access they received before the transition.“It’s important to demand permanent solutions that will allow everyone to have access to traditional television,” Bonin stated.The organizations are also inviting citizens to pressure the federal government themselves via email.This can be accomplished by filling out a form at http://uniondesconsommateurs.ca/.Road alert Health alert: Hepatitis A frozen berries and tainted Tahina A possible national distribution of frozen berries tought to be contaminated with the Hepatitis A virus, which may have sickened a number of individuals in British Columbia, has led to a nationwide recall-, announced the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).Overwaitea Food Group is voluntarily recalling Western Family brand Pomeberry Blend berries which are sold frozen in 600 gram packages bearing UPC 0 62639 31347 0.All lot codes are affected.Consumption could cause hepatitis, a usually mild illness that appears 15 to 50 days after exposure.Symptoms, which generally clear in a week or two but may last up to six months, can cause liver inflammation and include fever, low appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, and yellowing in the whites of the eyes and the skin Meanwhile restaurants across the country are being warned not to use Ayyam Zaman brand Extra Fine Tahina due to a possible Salmonella contamination bacteria.The affected Tahina is sold in 400 g packages bearing UPC 6 217000 429807 and a code starting with "EXP 10/08".The CFIA hasn’t received any reports of illness, but is recalling the product to prevent salmonellosis illness, which can cause serious and sometimes deadly infections in young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.For healthy individuals, the illness may cause short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea.For more information on either alert call the CFIA at 1-800-442-2342.A more than a one month long project to install overhead direction signs on highway 10, between exits 106 and 128, and highway 55, between exits 29 and 33, will begin today, announced Transport Quebec.The regional transportation ministry will be closing down the right lane in the work zones from 6 p.m.until 6 a.m., Saturday to Sunday, April 10 to May 4 and then from 6 a.m.to 9 p.m., Monday to Friday, May 7 to 18.During the closures, traffic will be reduced to the left lane.Signage will be posted advising motorists of occasional traffic reductions.C: c ¦£h Serving the entire Eastern Townships with three publications f Jo-Ann Hovey Advertising Consultant RM I )RD Townships Outlet BrmeCowtty One number NI'WS ^ Sid $639525 WÊ jhovey@shertrookerecord com Page 6 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record DITORIAL Ageism can occur when people in authority do not believe older adults, or do not consider the harms as serious.A need to stop discrimination on the basis of age Susan Mastine Imagine falling from a ladder, severely tearing a shoulder tendon, following the medical specialist’s orders, and then weeks after the accident being told that the restricted movement and remaining pain are “as good as it will get." No doubt, you would sadly and agonizingly shrug your shoulders and resign yourself to your new limitations.Imagine your shock sometime later when your insurance company calls and sends you to its medical specialist, a surgeon in the private system who, after analyzing your file and examining you, informs you that he can fix you up good as new with surgery, once the insurance company gives its authorization, stressing that you’re only 60, and you could live to be 90 - and that’s 30 years during which you could benefit from the pro- cedure.Appalling, isn’t it?And very, very wrong.He with the injured shoulder, who lives in the Eastern Townships, has decided to have the operation and pay the $3,000-$4,000 it will cost out of his own pocket, should the insurance company refuse to pay for the operation.What happened in the public system?The most logical explanation is that the initial specialist assumed that, given the patient’s age, the surgery was not worth the effort and expense.This would unfortunately not be the first or last case of “ageism” in professional circles.The Gage Canadian Dictionary defines “ageism” as “discrimination on the basis of age, especially against the elderly.” Real-life examples of ageism abound in this young-and-beautiful-ori-ented society.This is particularly true in the case of older adults who appear confused.Who hasn’t gotten confused at times, whatever his or her age?When an older person appears mixed up, his or her loved ones may panic and jump to the conclusion that age is to blame, with dementia perhaps setting in.But, there could be a completely different explanation for the confusion - fatigue, certain combinations of medication, or stress, for example - which would be treatable.The Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse links ageism with abuse: “It is very common to see the individual and broader social problems that older people face, being rationalized or discounted out of hand.Serious social and legal problems affecting older adults such as abuse and victimization by family, staff, or people in position of authority may be characterized as ‘rare events.’ Ageism can occur when people in authority do not believe older adults, or do not consider the harms as serious.Older adults may have their credibility questioned because of assumptions about how reliable older adults' memories are.” The Quebec government has adopted the World Health Organization's definition of abuse: “a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust which causes harm or distress to an older person,” including situations of psychological and physical violence, exploitation, violation of rights, and neglect.Its Web site http://maltraitanceaines.gouv.qc.ca/en/w hat_is_ekler .abuse provides several examples: humiliation, infantilizing, bullying, deliberately omitting to provide essential care, extortion by a loved one, or explicit pressure about an inheri- tance.Quebec’s recently launched elder abuse awareness campaign seeks to bring the vulnerability of those who have cared for us, nurtured us, and strived to make our lives and society better into the limelight - and provide us with tools to counter both flagrant and often-hidden neglect and abuse of those in our midst with the most experience and at times declining capacities.The province’s Elder Abuse Help Line can be reached at 1-888-489-ABUS (2287).Too many people in contexts of all kinds view individuals in the older generations as frail, weak, less capable, and less valuable.We need to shine a light on older adults we would all like to emulate, highlighting their abilities, contributions, experience, expertise, knowledge, and wisdom.People like Sheila Parenteau who, at the age of almost 79, is frequently found in the Law Courts library in Kamloops, BC, studying for her law degree, actor Gordon Pinsent, humanitarian Stephen Lewis, Townships community activists Marjorie Goodfellow and Aline Visser, CBC Radio Farm Panel member Bob Laberge.R-E-S-P-E-C-T - every human needs it, and deserves it.Devilish details: The origins of the Caregiver Tax Credit By Rachel Garber Dear readers, 1 offer you a cautionary tale that came into my hands recently.Across the cover page in quaint handwriting were two words: “Taxpayer, beware!” I was intrigued.My reading of the manuscript brought some disturbance of mind.It is with trepidation that I impart the story to you, with the disclaimer that any resemblance to existing persons is purely coincidental.Here is'the tale, as it came to me.The devil and his nephew were perched in their preferred corner in officialdom, hovering over the shoulders of the bureaucrats who each year further complexity the income tax system.From their perspective, the work had been going particularly well this year.The nephew gleefully surveyed the 362 forms and the 80-page guide.The moneychangers in the many towers of the tax establishment would be busy and bewildered.Money would be wasted.Trees would be consumed.People would be hassled.Notwithstanding, he was just a trifle uneasy about the guide’s title, “Fair.For all.” Then he looked into the seductive eyes of the siren with a Mona Lisa smile just above the words, and he relaxed.The road to hell, he knew, is paved with good intentions.But suddenly he straightened up.The bureaucrats were discussing the new caregiver tax credit.They wanted to en- courage people who were saving money for the health system by giving unpaid care to their aged parents, permitting them to continue living at home.They would give $1075 to such caregivers, in exchange for their saving the system maybe ten or twenty times that amount.This would not be just for caregivers who took their parents into their home.This year, for the first time, caregivers who moved into their parents’ home would be eligible, too - for example, English-speaking caregivers in the Eastern Townships who had returned from away to help care for their elderly parents.Thus, many more caregivers would get a bit of relief.This could be more truly fair.For all.The nephew’s tail twitched.He turned to the devil.“We can’t let that happen! We have to stop them! What are we going to do?” “Oh, don’t worry.’’ The devil had a sly smile.“We’ll help them organize the credit.” And thus it happened.First they conceived of a schedule named H, where the caregiver had to fill 53 boxes with various numbers.If the aged parent had an income of $21,505 or more, the caregiver’s tax credit would be reduced by up to $484.But this reduction occurred so cunningly among the little boxes, as numbers were added, subtracted and multiplied! The nephew doubted the caregivers would even notice.Then they designed a spifiy six-page form TP-752.0.14-V (2012-01 ) about phys- ical symptoms.The devil’s nephew was proud of that one.It would occupy the caregiver’s time in filling out a one-page questionnaire.It would require the caregiver to take it to a health care professional to fill out four more of the pages, and for a doctor to certify the senior’s impairment.And, the nephew noted with delight, it would spread the paperwork over to a whole new branch of officialdom.It would cut down on the time doctors had to give patient care.And it would create a whole new order of difficulty for caregivers who didn’t have a family doctor.During the organizing of the credit, there had been just one close call.A bureaucrat had suggested that all caregivers of parents over 70 could automatically receive the credit, without having a doctor fill out the six pager.But a deft slip of the pen changed an "or" to an “and.”So that proviso remained in place only when the senior lives in the home of the caregiver, and not vice versa.Envisaging a couple aged 90 and 99, whose 65-year-old caregiver has to chase after a doctor to fill out the TP-752.0.14-V (2012-01) twice, the devil’s nephew rubbed his hands with glee.And thus it was that the tax credit for caregivers came to be so well organized that many caregivers simply relinquished it.Dear readers, please recall that this is a cautionary tale.Taxpayer, beware.The devil is in the details.RECORD P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 516 or 1195 Galt F, Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax

combined present last year’s profits of $3000 to the director of Maison Aube Lumiere.By Tina Annesley The Tim Annesley Hockey Tournament (T.A.H.T.) will be starting up for its 17th year Friday night.Several local teams and a few away teams will be competing throughout the weekend to raise money for a local organization and families in need.The Tournament began in 1995 after Tim Annesley, a local hockey player and good friend of the organizers, passed away suddenly in January of that year, leaving behind a wife and daughter.Four teams played in 1995 raising money for Tim's five year old daughter, Tina.The following year eight teams played in the T.A.H.T.By 1997 seventeen teams both with away and local teams were playing for the cause.In 1998, it was decided by the Annesley family that the money raised from the tournament should go to other local families in need or local organizations.Annesley’s old team, the Red and Blues, play every year in the tournament.“It’s too bad we didn’t have a big tournament when Tim was alive, he was always up to play in one,” says Les Beaulieu, one of the organizers and Annesley’s old teammate.“Tim was as compassionate and fierce competitor that I knew.on the ice but once the game was over all was forgotten and he mingled and talked and laughed with everyone, teammates and opponents.He simply was a generous, happy, and genuine friend.We were all blessed to have spent time with Tim and had him touch our lives in so many ways.And his legacy will always be with us through hockey, the Annesley Tournament, Tina and his entire family whom we all love and cherish.Thank-you Tim,” says Larry Paradis, organizer of the T.A.H.T and fellow hockey player.This year fifteen teams are playing in the T.A.H.T.with three divisions: open, men’s and women’s.Five years ago the first women's team entered the tournament.This year there are four women's teams playing.Two teams will be traveling from Maine and one team will be coming from the North Shore of Quebec.Last year’s tournament raised $3,000 for the Maison Aube Lumiere, a hospice tor cancer pat ients in Sherbrooke.A specific organization hasn’t yet been confirmed for this year's profits.“Tim would have enjoyed playing in this tournament and would be happy that it was put together and still going strong after so many years.Not just tor his memory but for the good causes locally that the money is going to,” commented Dufferin Annesley, Annesley’s father.“It’s the 17th year, every year is different but it's always a fun weekend, and hopefully it will still be going strong in years to come.It’s for a good cause and a nice way to remember the fun times with Tim,” says Beaulieu The 17th annual Tim Annesley Hockey Tournament will begin Friday night, April 13 at 6 p.m.at the W.B Scott Arena at Bishop’s University, it ’s free admission and open to all ages.A canteen will be held at the arena.T-shirts with a logo will be sold as well.Food Fesdval Fundraiser at

players to East-West Bowl By Jesse Feith Canadian Interuniversity Sport has announced the rosters for the 2012 East-West Bowl, to take place on Saturday May 12, and among the many players selected are six players that Eastern Townships football enthusiasts should be familiar with as three Gaiters and three Sherbrooke Vert et Or are now set to take part in the contest.The Gaiters will be represented by offensive lineman Adam Hughes, defensive lineman Elie Ngoyi and defensive back Ryland Smith while Sherbrooke will send halfback Patrick Chénard, receiver Gabriel Goulet and defensive lineman Emmanuel Theriault.The game, now in its tenth season, showcases CIS players who will be eligible for the CFL draft after the following season as a way to give CFL scouts a cleat-glimpse into the future of the CIS.The East team is made up of players from the Quebec and Atlantic conferences along with Toronto, Ottawa and Queen’s, while the West squad is comprised of players from Canada West and the remaining Ontario teams.The game will take place at Western University’s TD Waterhouse Stadium for the fourth straight year after being previously held at other universities such as McMaster, Laval and Wilfrid Laurier for the last nine years.During its ten years of existence, the weekend has developed into more than just the actual game as the payers invited now have a chance to improve their talents as well as flaunt their skills to scouts through a variety of events during their stay in London, Ontario.During the week the players will undergo daily practices, take part in the Under Armour Combine for participating players (May 8), the CFL Free Agent Combine for players eligible to attend 2012 CFL training camps and not participating in the East West Bowl (May 9), as well as a variety of coaching clinics given by eight CFL coaches.The West team will be coached by reigning Vanier Cup champion McMaster Marauders’ head coach Stefan COURTESY Kf-î'-ï * Sherbrooke's Patrick Chénard, seen here collecting one of his four interceptions last season, will represent the Vert et Or along with receiver Gabriel Goulet and defensive lineman Emmanuel Theriault at the 2012 CIS East-West Bowl.Ptaszek while the East will be led by Glen Constantin, the head coach of the Laval Rouge et Or, winners of five of the past 11 national championships.“On an annual basis, the biggest showcase of Canadian university football talent - players and coaches - occurs at the CIS East West Bowl,” said Ptaszek.“To work with the brightest minds and most gifted student athletes in our nation is a privilege and an honour.I look forward to the week of festivities and a great football game on May 12 in London.” Bishop’s and Sherbrooke will also be represented on the coaching staff as the Gaiters’ new head coach Kevin Mackey will serve as an assistant for the East squad, as will Sherbrooke’s head coach David Lessard.The players representing the two Sherbrooke-based universities should be able to handle the pressure of the big game and capitalize on their opportunity to showcase their talents.The Gaiters’ Hughes is a 6-foot-5, 305-pound offensive lineman who has started for Bishop’s for two consecutive years, including all nine games last season at the left tackle spot.“He’s been a pillar for us since he came here.His size, speed and smarts make him one of the best offensive linemen in our conference,” said Mackey.Defensive lineman Ngoyi, a former Champlain Cougar, made 25.5 tackles and had one sack last year, compelling Mackey to call him the “leader of our front seven.” The third Gaiter going to the game, Smith, became a starter as a defensive halfback in 2011 and tied for the most passes knocked down in the CIS with nine throughout the season.He also made three interceptions along with 27 tackles.Coach Mackey believes he should be able to impress CIS scouts with his play.“He has the size and versatility to play at the next level,” said the Gaiters’ coach.Bishop’s is sending one player less to the game than last year when the school sent David Haddrall, Kyle Handy, John Jean-Baptiste and Harrison Maloney.COURTESY Elie Ngoyi one of three Gaiters who were selected to participate in this year’s CIS East-West Bowl on May 12.For Sherbrooke, halfback Chénard will enter the game having put.together the most impressive season of all three Vert et Or players going, collecting four interceptions (good for fourth in the CIS) and 42 solo tackles (eighth overall in the CIS) in his nine games played.Defensive lineman Theriault ranked 12th in two categories among the CIS last year, both in sacks and sack yards, collecting 40 yards in 5.5 sacks.The game's tipoff is set for 1 p.m.on Saturday May 12, as the East team will be looking to keep their winning streak going, having won the previous two games.Overall, the West team has won six of previous nine games, including the first four editions.Goodell upholds penalties for Payton, Loomis, Vitt and Saints in bounty case By Barry Wilner THF.ASSOCIATED PRESS Sean Payton now knows for certain he won’t be coaching in 2012.And the New Orleans Saints must figure out whether Bill Parcells or someone else is best suited to take over a team seeking its fourth straight trip to the playoffs.NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday rejected the Saints' appeals of their unprecedented punishment stemming from the league’s investigation of the club’s bounty system.The program offered cash bonuses for big hits that knocked targeted opponents out of games or hurt them enough that they required help getting to the sideline.In addition to upholding Payton’s suspension.which begins next Monday and runs through the Super Bowl — in New Orleans next season — Goodell also upheld suspensions of eight games for general manager Mickey Loomis and six games for assistant head coach Joe Vitt, along with a $500,000 fine for the franchise and the loss of second-round draft picks this year and next.Loomis, who declined comment Monday, and Vitt begin their suspensions after the preseason ends.The Saints case represents perhaps the starkest example yet of the sea change that the NFL has undergone since medical research and media reports on the long-term damage suffered by football players through concussions began to gain attention a few years ago.While former players say off-the-books incentives have been around for years, and current players say the tough talk about getting after specific opponents happens in locker rooms throughout the NFL, Goodell responded to the Saints case by handing out stern penalties.Former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who left the Saints after last season to join the St.Louis Rams, ran the bounty program and has been suspended indefinitely.He did not appeal.The NFL has said Williams’ bounty system, which ran from 2009 through 2011, offered cash payments of $1,500 for “knockouts,” in which an opposing player was knocked out of a game, or $1,000 for “cart-offs,” in which an opponent needed help off the field.The league has said the bounty pool grew as large as $50,000, reaching its height in the 2009 season, when New Orleans won its only Super Bowl.The investigation also found that Pay-ton initially lied to league investigators about the existence of a bounty program and instructed his defensive assistants to do the same.It also found that Loomis did not do enough to put a stop to the enterprise after he was informed the league was looking into it in early 2010.Payton twice apologized for his role in the bounty program, saying he takes “full responsibility” for allowing it to flourish.The NFL has said as many as 27 players also could be sanctioned in the scandal, but it is not yet clear when that might happen, creating additional uncertainty for New Orleans and some teams that have signed former Saints defensive regulars as they tried to build their 2012 rosters. The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, April 10, 2012 Page 11 ASK DOCTOR K Both genetics and stress play role in going gray By Anthony L.Komaroff, M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: 1 am a 43-year-old woman whose hair has gone quite gray in the past year.I’ve had a fairly stressful year, and since the change in my hair felt quite sudden.I'm wondering if stress could have caused it.If not, what else might be the culprit?DEAR READER: It’s easy to assume that stress causes gray hair, because there appears to be evidence all around us.Take President Barack Obama as an example.Compare photos of Obama taken before he ran for president to more recent pictures.You’ll notice a distinct difference.His hair used to be consistently dark brown.Now, there are areas of gray dotting the landscape.Is the stress of running a country to blame?Each hair in your head keeps the color it has.If a single strand of hair starts out brown (or red or black or blond), it is never going to turn gray.If a hair is not gray, no amount of stress can turn that hair gray.If you have a head of brown hair, and then experience the greatest possible stress, your brown hair won’t turn gray just like that.But stress definitely can affect your hair color.It does so by influencing the color of new hairs.Each hair is produced by a single hair follicle.Hairs on the scalp typically live two to five years.When a person’s old brown hair dies, the hair follicle that produced the old hair now starts producing a new hair.After we reach age 35, the new hairs produced by a hair follicle tend to lose color, in comparison to the last hair produced by that follicle.How does stress affect hair color?First, by causing hairs to fall out — to die young.Stress can cause hair to shed at about three times the rate it normally does.The hair grows back, so the condition doesn’t cause balding.But if you’re middle-aged and your hair is falling out and regenerating more quickly because of stress, it’s possible that the hair that grows in will be gray instead of its original color.For example, it seems to me that our last two presidents have turned gray pretty fast, maybe faster than they would have if they had not shouldered the burdens of the presidency.Genetics also influences whether and when you turn gray.In fact, it’s probably a stronger cause of graying hair than stress.Look at past generations of your family.This will give you a better indication of when or if you’ll go gray than your current stress levels.We have more information on aging in our Special Health Report, “Living Better, Living

lately I’ve been reaching for a glass of wine to help me relax.Could 1 have a problem?DEAR READER: Just the fact that you’re worried raises a red flag for me.If your drinking creates difficulty for you personally, socially or at work, then your drinking may be a problem.Several screening tests can help determine if you have a drinking problem.For example, answer the following questions: — Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?— Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?— Have you ever felt guilty or bad about your drinking?— Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves, get rid of a hangover or as an eye-opener?If you responded “yes” to any one of these questions, you may have a drinking problem.If you responded “yes” to more than one question, it’s highly likely that you have a problem.If you can see that your drinking is not only causing you concern but causing you problems, you may be abusing alcohol.What kind of problems do 1 mean?For example: — You’ve been failing to fulfill major work, school or home responsibilities.— You’ve been drinking in situations where it’s physically dangerous to do so (like while driving a car).— You’ve been drinking despite relationship problems caused or worsened by drinking.We’ve all seen people who get moderately drunk: They become loud and argumentative and say inappropriate things.We’ve seen people who get very drunk: Their speech is slurred, they stagger when they walk, they drink themselves into a stupor.They have withdrawal symptoms such as sweating, shaking or nausea if they don’t have a drink.It’s tempting to tell yourself, “Well, I’m not like that, so I don’t have a drinking problem.” But if you responded “yes” to any of the first four questions, or if you have any of the problems mentioned above, you probably do have a drinking problem, or are well on the way to one.In Meinoriam FIELDS, Stuart - April 10, 2012.Two years have passed.God has you in His keeping, We have you in our heart.Lovingly remembered, ELLA & FAMILY So what you should be telling yourself when you see someone who clearly is drunk is that you’re lucky you don’t have a serious problem — yet.You also should understand that you could be on the road to a serious problem, and that the sooner you deal with it, the more you will be able to turn it around.We have a lot more information on problem drinking and what to do about it in our Special Health Report, “Alcohol Use and Abuse.” You can find out more about it at my website.Talk to your doctor about

These amazing kids do everything from advocating for more affordable housing to raising awareness about organ donation, from tutoring younger children to fundraising to fight cancer, and all to raise awareness and solve the problems facing the world today.To celebrate their ingenuity, idealism and passion, please remind your readers that the 24th Annual Global Youth Service Day will take place April 20-22, 2012.More than 1,000 national and global partners in more than 100 countries will bring together millions of young people to strengthen their communities through the power of youth service.For more information, your readers can visit www.YSA.org and www.GYSD.org.— Sincerely, Steven A.Culbertson, President and CEO, Youth Service America Dear Steven Culbertson: Thanks so much for letting us once again mention this worthwhile project.We hope all our readers, young and old, will check out the websites you mention and become involved in local volunteer programs.It's also a wonderful educational opportunity for teachers and students.Dear Annie: I am in my late 40s, mar- Annie’s Mailbox ried for 13 years.I was widowed early in my first marriage, and my husband is divorced with children.I knew from the start that we were from different worlds and had few common interests, but I thought that would change over time.Now I wish we had dated longer.Over the past seven years, we have had little interaction.I do my thing, he does his.We haven’t been intimate or even affectionate for close to a year.We haven’t said “I love you” in forever.Our flame has blown out.1 have tried to speak to my husband about this, and he says I am making something out of nothing.We both are still young.I want to be embraced by longing arms, say I love you and know it is reciprocated.I want to cuddle, laugh, share, talk, look into his eyes with excitement and feel wanted.I’d even love to go to the movies together and hold hands.Am I expecting too much?— Roommate Dear Roommate: You might be expecting more than your husband is capable of giving, but it’s not too late to address it and figure out your best course of action.Suggest that your husband see his doctor and check his testosterone levels and other possible medical conditions.Then ask him to go with you for counseling so you can work on your communication and intimacy issues.If he refuses, go without him and decide what you can live with.But thank you for providing a word of caution to those who rush into marriage and believe the other person will change.Dear Annie: I’d like to comment on the letter from “Hands Tied in Michigan,” whose husband works out of state and sometimes doesn’t call when he’s back from dinner with the guys.From my male point of view.I’d say her husband is going out to topless bars with the guys, maybe even having sex with the strippers after hours.Obviously, he can’t call home to “The Wife” if he’s with a young girl who thinks he’s not married, nor can he answer his cellphone in the topless bar, because his wife would hear the loud music in the background.The wife should hire a private investigator to follow her husband around each evening after he gets off of work.One full week ought to reveal whether he is partying more than he should be.— A Man Who Knows in New York Dear Male: Your cynical scenario is, of course, one possibility, but we hope there are more benign reasons behind the lack of phone calls.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.St.George’s, Ayer’s Cliff card party April 2 was a little cooler day than two weeks ago, but we had nine tables of keen players for our 500 card party.The winners were as follows: Ladies’ high -

An arrangement that has been giving you many problems is likely to ultimately work out well.Although you’ll contribute to this outcome, outside factors will mostly be responsible for it.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you’re presently unattached romantically and finding it somewhat boring, don’t turn down any forthcoming invitation.There’s a strong chance that you could meet someone you’d like.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — A friendship you recently made with someone in your line of work might be able to help you get ahead.Follow his or her lead.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — Something unique might transpire that will show you the value of friendliness.As a result, you could find yourself a bit more popular than others in your peer group.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Just be- cause something isn't working out as you had anticipated doesn't mean that you can't do anything about it.Make the necessary changes; your fate is in your own hands.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Something that can’t be done without the support of others can take a turn for the better.However, it will be up to you to take advantage of this good fortune while things are going your way.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - You could make some serious bank, but only if you work on ways to make the right things happen.Don’t think you can leave it up to Lady Luck to do all the work.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) - In order to be a good leader, a couple of things must be put in place.First, you need to set a good example for others to follow, and second, you should be willing to take risks.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - You’ll do quite well at whatever you attempt right now.Others aren't likely to be envious of what you accomplish because you’ll involve them in the fruits of your gain.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Having good friends means a lot to you, and you mean much to your pals.Your fierce sense of loyalty is a major reason why you have so many.Be sure to exercise that trait today.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Important things you do are likely to produce ripples.As a result, everything looks good for you both financially and socially.Tuesday, April 10, 2012 When to sit back and relax on defense By Phillip Alder Hermann Ebbinghaus, a German psychologist who pioneered the study of memory, said.“Mental events are not passive happenings but the acts of a subject.” This week we are looking at mental events of subjects — players — on defense: when to be active and positively try to establish and win tricks, and when to be passive — sitting back and waiting for tricks to fall into your lap.The first indication that you should be passive comes when the opponents have struggled to get to their contract, squeezing every ounce out of their cards — as in this deal.What should West lead against four spades?South opened one spade.North raised to two spades.South paused, consulted the cracks on the ceiling and then bid three spades.North also paused, not liking his 4-3-3-3 distribution, then shrugged his shoulders and bid four spades.Yes, South should have rebid two no-trump (and reached a makeable three no-trump), or three clubs, a help-suit game-try (and still got to four spades).If the trumps were 4-1, it would be a North 04-10-12 ?Q 8 5 V 9 0 4 ?J 5 4 ?K Q 7 2 East ?J 10 V 10 8 7 2 ?K 9 8 3 ?A 8 0 South ?A K 7 6 4 V A Q 3 ?A 10 ?10 5 3 Dealer: South Vulnerable: Both South West North East l 4 Pass 2 4 Pass 3 4 Pass 4 4 All pass Opening lead: ?good moment to make a penalty double, but the distribution looks more docile.East-West should just hope that the contract doesn’t make.Tire safest lead is surely a trump (as it often is when you wish to defend passively).And after that start, declarer should go down.Any other lead gives away both a trick in that suit and the contract it South works out what to do.(To stop the mail: Yes, West could lead the diamond queen and still defeat the contract.But who would do that?)
