that is still unfolding month after month.We are in Lac-Mégantic.The whole process of reinventing one’s life post-apocalypse is so complex it seems to happen willy-nilly.Yet the sun rises each day.The clean up and the rebuilding are underway.And in this great inner and outer upheaval moves the creative spirit.Perhaps the most touching are the personal photos of the 47 persons who died in the tragedy, and drawings and notes about them or to them.You see these little messages on display boards in the Église Sainte-Agnès, and on walls in the Centre sportif Mégantic.Simple words, but heartfelt.Eloquent emotions.You also see the creative spirit in the Marche du vent - the promenade and board walk that borders on the Red Zone.It incorporates heritage and artistic installations, such as a shelter filled with giant chimes.Or six giant hammocks, in which to lie back and watch the stars.The whole interweaves the tragedy of July 6, 2013, the history of Lac-Mégantic, and its rebuilding.You can see it too in the initiative to “Reinvent the town, your ideas, your vision to build the plan together.” That’s a collective creative process, of the urban planning kind.Over the winter, more than 1,300 participants came together in a series of about eight public consultations and workshops, with the participation of Jean-François Vachon, a volunteer urban-planner.Citizens proposed 27 scenarios for rebuilding the heart of Lac-Mégantic.A preferred model was chosen in May.A new YouTube video showing the new plan was published three days ago.The plan proposes a memorial on the site of the destroyed Musi-Café.A four-season public market.A cultural space.A central public space, bordered by cafés, boutiques and restaurants.Walking and bike paths.And a green belt, there where t he railroad tracks now are.It proposes to make the tracks disappear.It proposes the greening of the tragic Red Zone.The art spirit is visible in four exhibitions in the Centre sportif Mégantic this summer.The Centre has become the hub of the town of 6,000 persons, because the town hall is still off-limits - it’s in the contaminated zone.In the Centre are sports, yes, but also a café-bar.The town’s information office.And exhibition spaces.RA GARBER lXæ8& ' .*1 ¦¦ ¦ • : .' ¦ J&rulxit The Centre sportif Mégantic has become the town’s acting municipal office and cultural centre.This summer it offers four art and photography exhibits.RA GARBER UP'-A ¦ III mm Amalgame, by Manon Desjardins, is one of the larger works in the art exhibit, les chemins de la renaissance, at Lac-Mé-gantic’s Centre sportif Mégantic.In the main exhibit hall is an exhibit of 39 paintings by 39 artists from the area, from Audet, Sylvia, to Yokoyama, Yuji.The theme is plural - Les chemins de la renaissance, or The Paths of Rebirth.The techniques, the styles and the subject matters are also plural.Some suggest new growth, gentle beginnings.Others suggest powerful and passionate turmoil.And still others imagine healing or restoration.Spring Mists by Yokoyama is the largest of the works, and has a hefty pricetag of $1,600.It depicts a blue green path that dreamlike leads into the light.Nature represents hope - and that is his message to the people of Lac-Mégantic, says his artist’s statement.It is often easy to guess which works were done during the past year, and which were done before the train tragedy.One - a sculptural collage -depicts tree trunks topped by blobs of melted metal or congealed oil.Red hand prints suggest energetic ministrations.The artist, Louise Latulippe.calls it “Reiki pour arbres blesses" - Reiki for wounded trees.It bears two dates - 2005 and 2014.Another by Marcelle Hamelin is entitled “La vie en rose.” But this rose, this life, are painted in dark and vehement shades of reds.Dated 2014.And some appear to be actual depictions of Lac-Mégantic’s Red Zone.Let us not be simplistic.Red is an intense colour, but its personal meanings can vary wildly from person to person, and from moment to moment.Suzanne Belair’s painting is entitled “Innocence” and shows a child gazing into a huge red flower.Red is the colour of fire, but also of lifeblood.Of trauma, but also of healing.Of violence, but also of love.And other paintings were of other colours, other attitudes.Such as the one by Yokoyama.Or ones suggesting mountains, lake and forests.In other spaces in the Centre sportif Mégantic are other exhibits.A group of 20 large photos.The topic is the train tragedy, but the real focus is on the many workers who intervened from the first moments until the present.The exhibit is called Une tragédie, des gens -One tragedy, many people.Then there is an exhibit on the history of the railroad in the region, and its impact on the development of Lac-Mé-gantic and the MRC du Granit.And finally, there is Mise en scène -an exhibit by amateur photographers of the Mégantic photo club.To come in September are 15 monumental sculptures that sculptors will create on the Marche du vent walkway.They are then to be installed in different downtown locations.These projects were organized by the Commission des arts, de la culture et du patrimoine, with the support of the Town of Lac-Mégantic and with financial assistance from Economic Development Canada, the Red Cross, the Mégantic regional Chamber of Commerce, and the temporary Musi-Café of the summer 2013.The Centre sportif Mégantic is at 5400 Papineau Street, and entrance is free.Ra.writes@gmail.com RACHEL WRITES Page 8 Monday, July 7, 2014 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Lac Megantic turns a page Cont’d from page 1 ;r*i PHOTOS BY RA GARBER tr ¦*' .j I-! -’ • ' Bas* Family and friends laid hands lovingly on the newly unveiled monument in front of the Saint-Agnès Church in Lac-Mégantic on Sunday afternoon.The front of the marble is inscribed "À la mémoire des 47 victimes de la tragédie du 6 juillet 2013” -

On the church wall were words of encouragement.One was a poem by Raoul Duguay.It ended with “Il pleut il pleut il pleut de la peine dans tes yeux.Il pleut sur toi et moi, il pleut avant la joie." - It’s raining, it’s raining, it’s raining grief in your eyes.It’s raining on you and me, it’s raining before joy.There was music.Sacred readings.A few speakers recalled some of the earlier commemorative activities of the weekend.The planting of the July 6 garden.The release of butterflies into the air.The midnight mass the night before, and then the silent walk at 1:14 a.m.It had lasted 47 minutes, one minute for each victim.When the mass ended, priests, dignitaries and the population went outside to the new marble memorial in front of the church.The dignitaries laid flowers at the foot of the monument.Everyone marked a long minute of silence in memory of the 47 victims.The church bells pealed.Several people spoke into a mic with a furry windscreen the size of a Scotty dog - it was a very windy day.First Lac-Mégantic Mayor Colette Roy-Laroche.Canada’s Governor General David Johnston and Quebec Premier Philippe Couil-lard both spoke in English as well as French.“Governor General Johnston spoke about Lac-Mégantic’s “remarkable spirit of resilience.” Premier Couillard said, “We know that we are still mourning for the victims, but we know that life will prevail.” He promised to protect both the community and the environment.Then came the March of Hope.Crowds left the church and walked down the boardwalk past the Red Zone, through the two-block-long commercial street with its half-open shops, and on to the Centre sportif Mégantic.But many Lac-Méganticois stayed to line up in front of the monument.It was shaped like a giant open book.They took turns standing in front of it, bowing their heads.Some touched the marble pages which bore the names of the 47 friends and family members who were lost a year ago.And so one more page was turned in the aftermath of what was the worst train disaster in Canada since 1864.isa The Record | newsroom@sherbrookerecord.coru Monday, July 7, 2014 Page 9 Lennoxville I MU) I I III |ll|l LOCALLY Directory ( H i ( aiflure Canine Tuesday to Saturday 10 a.m.to 4 p.m.2887 College St.(behind dark & Sons) Lennoxville 819-349-6852 DOG GROOMING of all sizes and breeds, in a calm and friendly atmosphere cici.coiffurecanine@gmail.com Nail Clipping $5.00 ¦raFind us on g ¦ ¦Facebook g Xravel.Escape .Fantasy New group brochures have arrived!

Page 10 Monday, July 7, 2014.newsroorn@sherbrookt‘record.com The Record Heat, ventilation problem shut Magog Hospital surgery Sherbrooke Last week’s mini heat wave affected more than just those having to move as the heat, combined with a ventilation problem, forced the temporary closure of the Magog Hospital’s operating room.The problem is expected to be resolved this week.“An operating room has a very specific ventilation and air conditioning system,” explained Director of Professional Services and Acting Director of Health Dr.Edith Grégoire.“Due to weather conditions last week, there was a problem.We realized before starting operating procedures Tuesday morning that the humidity was too high and there were several times when standards were not met.” Humidity of the operating room oscillated around 80 per cent, she says, which could compromise the sterility of equipment used to treat patients."We have a lot of equipment and supplies individually packaged and the packaging is not quite air tight in all circumstances,” said Grégoire.“When you exceed the standards, you can’t guarantee that the equipment has remained sterile.For example, with gauze, the paper has to be sealed so that moisture is not too high.There was a danger of contamination.” From four to seven patients per day receive so-called ‘non-emergency’ operations at the Magog hospital, and for this reason, it was out of the question for hospital staff to “take a risk” with the lives of their patients.These were immediately notified one by one that their surgery would be postponed.“We can’t take any risks in these cases.There are some surgeries that could be done because we have equipment stored elsewhere that has not been a problem, but we will have to replace the majority of our equipment.What is disposable, we will replace; that which is reusable, will have to be sterilized again.” Grégoire would not estimate the cost of fixing the problem, but some estimates has it up to half a million dollars.The operating room should be operational during the coming week.Traversée avoids bankruptcy Sherbrooke The Traversée Internationale du Lac Memphremagog has reached an agreement with its creditors to avoid bankruptcy allowing the iconic 'porting and cultural event to be held as scheduled later this summer.A brief meeting between creditors and Traversée organizers took place Friday morning in Sherbrooke and the proposed agreement was accepted by all the creditors who voted.The creditors have agreed to receive only a small proportion of the money owed.The Traversée will provide only S15,000 in total to creditors that include the Caisse Desjardins du Lac Memphremagog, Productions du Palais, and Endurance aventure, barely 10 per cent of the $150,000 owed.In the next few days, lawyer Alain Thivierge will submit the agreement to the court to be verified and, if the courts approve, the event will have five days to pay- Although this agreement takes the pressure off the Traversée itself, the same cannot be said for the group Les Amis de la Traversée who may find still their ‘friendship’’ costly.This group acted as endorsers for credit from the Caisse Desjardins a few years ago and this debt remains on the books following the agreement.“When you sign an endorsement, you know what to expect,” Lac Memphremagog Caisse Director Jean-Luc Dasté commented.That being said.Dasté says the Caisse remains an ally of the annual event, as evidenced by its donation of a $10,000 grant for the next edition.“We remain convinced that this is an important event for the region of Magog," Dasté said.“Especially since Magog is trying to position itself as a destination for sports tourism." .L/Oca The “first drive,” is a 9 holes experience specifically oriented to fledging golfers.North Hatley Golf Club tees-off with novel concept By Josh Quirion The North Hatley Golf Club has organized an exclusive course to accommodate young golfers in their development.The “first drive,” is a 9 holes experience specifically oriented to fledging golfers.Club Manager Louis Grenier and Superintendent Tony Card have collaborated to initiate a unique concept that acknowledges the discrepancies in the abilities of practiced and novice golfers.Golf is a technical sport that requires a precise arrangement of accuracy, power and finesse.Young and inexperienced golfers will regularly struggle with the intimidating distances and obstacles presented by a particular course.Since there are only minor variations between the slopes where seasoned veterans and nascent golfers perform, the result can often appear daunting for the latter crowd.Whereas the regular course suggests 18 holes distributed over a daunting 5,853 yard distance, the “first drive” course for juniors proposes a manage- able 9 holes at 2,086 yards.The “par” is the numerical notion by which a player calculates his score.If a certain hole is deemed a “par 4,” and one completes the hole in 5 strokes, his tally will be +1.The cumulative par of each hole indicates the course’s par score.The regular par score for 9 holes at the North Hatley Golf Club is 35, but the personalized “first drive” course is a par 45, allowing more leeway and tolerance for younger players to produce a realistic total score.Including a par 7, 362 yard hole, North Hatley Golf Club’s latest concept is engineered to generate interest and ensure the success of apprentice golfers.Customized scorecards will also be available to the lutee golfers.The black tee-off markers have already been implemented and the most perplexing obstacles have been modified to provide sufficient opportunity for young golfers to thrive in their golfing environment.Children 8 years and up (must be accompanied by an adult) can benefit from a $9.25.half-price reduction rate, and play for free after 1 p.m.on Sunday afternoons.Five Sherbrooke players on Team Quebec in Canada Cup football Sherbrooke Five Sherbrooke football players

Dominick Brazeau, and offensive linemen Vaso Cabrilo, and Zechariah Martel from Le Triolet high school, as well as wide receiver Patrick Anthony Gagnon from the Séminaire de Sher- brooke, are part of the final roster of the Quebec team, led by head coach Pat Boies of the McGill Kedmen.The selection process evaluated 400 players across three distinct stages, ending last weekend in Saint-Jean-sur-Riche-lieu.Team Quebec played its first game yesterday afternoon against host Team Saskatchewan.Mathieu Pronovost and Martin Mont-miny, offensive coordinator and line coach, and special

a member of the Montreal Impact of Major League Soccer.Gagnon-Laparé signed his first professional contract with the Montreal organization, however, when he will officially debut with the big club has yet to be announced.Since the beginning of the season.Gagnon-Laparé has trained with the team in addition to working with the U-23 team at Impact Academy.He has also participated in several matches in the MLS Reserve League.The 19-year old midfielder was invited to the selection camp for the senior Canadian national team last year and this allowed him to gain international experience.Gagnon-Laparé

L.Komaroff, M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: 1 recently started taking medication for Type 2 diabetes.My doctor warned me about hypoglycemia.What signs should I look out for?What should I do if I experience them?DEAR READER: People with Type 2 diabetes have high levels of sugar, or glucose, in their blood.Diabetes medications work to lower blood sugar to near-normal levels.But sometimes diabetes medications bring blood sugar down too low, a condition called hypoglycemia (hi-po-gly-SEE-me-uh).The dose of a diabetes medicine is based on what your blood sugar is on an average day — a day when you engage in an average amount of exercise (for you) and eat an average amount of food.Therefore, on a day when you exercise much more than usual, or eat much less than usual, you can develop hypoglycemia.That’s because exercise causes sugar to leave your blood and enter your cells, and because the sugar in your blood comes mainly from your food.Blood sugar is the brain’s primary source of energy.When blood sugar drops too low, the brain can’t function properly.This can cause dizziness, headache, blurred vision, difficulty-concentrating and other neurological symptoms.It can also cause tremor, sweating, rapid heartbeat, anxiety and hunger.(I’ve put a table with additional symptoms of hypoglycemia on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) Failure to treat the condition promptly may result in loss of consciousness, seizures, even death.(The only fatal cases I’ve seen have been those who took very large doses of insulin but ate practically nothing.) Once you start to feel strange, don’t put off treatment.Don’t even spend time calling your doctor.Instead, immediately eat or drink some sugar that will reach your bloodstream quickly.You can drink fruit juice, regular soda or a glass of milk.Or eat some raisins or candy, such as Life Savers or jelly beans.Fast-acting glucose tablets, which are sold at pharmacies, also work well.You should start feeling better within 15 minutes after eating the sugar.At that time, test your blood sugar level.If it’s still low, you may need to eat more sugar.Particularly if you have ever had an attack of hypoglycemia, you should always keep some “rescue” candy or glucose tablets with you at all times.You need to be able to treat yourself at the first sign of hypoglycemia.(Don’t forget to keep some rescue candy next to your bed and in your car.) If you wait too long to treat hypoglycemia, you could become confused or lose consciousness.Lower your risk of hypoglycemia by eating at regular times during the day.Never skip meals, and maintain a consistent level of exercise.Also, consider wearing a medical alert bracelet or necklace that identifies you as having diabetes.This will help you get appropriate treatment in an emergency.If you should pass out from hypoglycemia, the medical alert bracelet or necklace will tell the doctors or emergency medical technicians who reach you that you may need an intravenous injection of sugar.Dr.Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.Datebook Today is the 188th day of 2014 and the 17th day of summer.TODAY’S HISTORY: In 1898, the United States annexed Hawaii as a U.S.territory.In 1954, Elvis Presley made his radio debut, as his single "That’s All Right” was broadcast by Memphis radio station WHBQ.In 1981, President Ronald Reagan nominated Sandra Day O’Connor to serve as the first woman on the U.S.Supreme Court.In 2005, terrorists detonated explosives aboard a double-decker bus and three trains during the morning rush hour in London, killing 56 people and injuring 700.TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS: Marc Chagall (1887-1985), painter;

Page 12 Monday, July 7, 2014 newsroom@sherbrookerecoFd.com The Record I’m currently living with an egotistical, frugal, cold-as-ice 75-year-old man who .MONDAY, JULY 7, 2014 Dear Annie: I am a 68-year-old twice-divorced woman who has made some unwise decisions in my life.I’m single (which is fine) and will be retiring at year’s end.I’m currently living with an egotistical, frugal, cold-as-ice 75-year-old man who claims he loves me, yet he dominates every conversation, lacks social skills, ignores etiquette and attempts to control me.I didn’t know him long enough before I moved to be with him.We met at a dance when he was in town visiting friends.I still couldn’t discern infatuation from love.I wanted a fairy tale.I thought with my heart instead of my head.After a while, dancing four nights a week wears thin when that’s all there is to enjoy together.I haven’t been happy for several years.We’ve made some nice friends, but if I don’t suggest getting together, they never would.My children and siblings live out of state, and I want to move back home.How can I do that and save face with my family and friends?They warned me that I was rushing into things.— Danced Enough Dear Danced: Yoh’d rather be unhappy than admit you made a nvstake?It could be very freeing to say to your friends and family, “You were right.1 should have listened.” Then it’s over.Just make sure you don’t repeat the mistake.Take some time to figure out what is best for you, without focusing on the next man in your life.Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 45 years.I love my wife, but I like to flirt with women.Last year I did more than flirt, and my wife found out.I asked her to forgive me, and she did.But when she keeps asking for an explanation, I blow her off, leave or get upset until she quits asking annoying questions.Should I tell her to get over it, or sit down with her and tell her the entire truth, even if it is more than she can handle?— Wondering Dear Wondering: You cheated on your wife, and you find her questions “annoying”?Your wife deserves your complete honesty.It’s not up to you to decide what is too much for her to handle.She might forgive you, but she will never be able to trust you again if she doesn’t believe you are totally truthful, answering any questions she has for as long as it takes.Ask your doctor to refer you to a marriage counselor so the two of you can hash this out and truly start fresh.Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Need Help in Jacksonville, Fla.,” the elderly couple who could use some help with the housekeeping, but felt that cleaning service personnel could not be trusted to keep their hands off of their valuables.There is another side to that story that needs to be mentioned.My 80-year-old parents often tell me that “someone” who visited their home must have stolen various items, because they could not find these things.My friends with parents that age tell me the same thing.They are convinced someone has stolen everything from watches and money to kitchen utensils and cookie sheets.My mother even accused a family member of stealing a watch that she later found right where she had misplaced it.As you can well imagine, that did some damage to their relationship.At the age of 50-something, I spend a good deal of time looking for my own misplaced things.Thank goodness 1 am not yet at the point where I am convinced these things were stolen, but I suspect that time will come soon enough.— A Weary Daughter Dear Annie: 1 had to respond to “Frustrated with Noise,” who had a problem with children crying in church.Obviously, this person doesn’t have children.How are these kids supposed to learn how to behave Annie’s Mailbox in church if their parents do not have them participate in the services?Yes, loudly screaming children should be removed until they can calm down, but otherwise the children should remain.As a young mother, I attended church alone with my two young sons.Once, the baby started crying, and I did not want to leave my 4-year-old in the pew, and he was unwilling to leave with me.When I later apologized to the wonderful Franciscan friar who was the officiate that day, he simply stated, “No worries.He was just singing his praises to God.” We should all take this attitude toward our youngest church members.— Experienced Church Mom Dear Mom: Our mail was divided evenly on this one.Read on: From Florida: I am a children’s pastor with many years of experience.Every church I have served in has had a fully staffed nursery with loving, trained volunteers and a well-equipped and exceptionally clean environment.But when we suggest parents take advantage of these services, some of them act as if we are trying to sell their children.It is the responsibility of the parents to realize that not everyone is overjoyed listening to their child cry, scream or otherwise disrupt the service.We are pleased to help, but we can’t care for children if parents won’t bring them to us! Fargo, N.D.: As a pastor, I am keenly interested in knowing how people feel about having children in worship services.It is very important for people of all ages to be welcome during every worship service in the church.Any congregation or parishioner who feels otherwise needs to take a good look at the Bible.Did children listen silently when Jesus was speaking?Of course not.But does Jesus create a separate room for the children?Does he tell the parents to get control or get out?No.In fact, Jesus says, “Let the little children come to me!” Church is not a social club for adults.Church is a place where people of all ages are to be welcomed and loved unconditionally.Texas: I liked your response, but here’s the problem.Most churches are so desperate to get bodies in the door, they won’t attempt to instruct parents in how to behave.These parents, like the children they coddle, won’t see themselves in this letter.They’ll say, “It’s just a little crying spell, and she’ll get over it in a minute." But if it happens week after week, it means the child is exerting control.Instead of raising children, these parents are raising their own little center of the universe, teaching them that if they scream enough they’ll get what they want.We have self-centered parents raising another generation of kids even more self-centered.Boston: My father was a minister.It was most troubling to him, too, dealing with this touchy subject.One Sunday morning while preaching, a child started crying.The mother got up to leave, and my father stopped speaking.A loud snore broke the silence.My father said, “1 can preach over a crying baby, but not over the snoring of adults.” There was applause as the mother sat back down.What happens when babies cry on airplanes?There’s no place to send them, so please be understanding.Huntington, Vt.: Be grateful that a young family is coming to your church.“Make a joyful noise.” In Vermont (and probably elsewhere), we are lucky if anyone comes to church.Church is dying here.I’ll take the child’s loud noise, crying and screaming any day.Every town needs a church.Dear Annie: When my sister dated “Ron,” he was a very angry and controlling man.They fought constantly.My parents insisted they both see a psycholo- gist to work out their relationship issues.The psychologist diagnosed Ron as a sociopath, but my sister married him anyway.They divorced when their son was 5 years old.My sister has sole custody, but Ron sees and speaks to him whenever he pleases and constantly disrespects my sister.I have recently noticed some disturbing behavior in my nephew.He has bursts of anger, displays reckless behavior and copies his father’s words, calling my sister some very bad names.I worry that my nephew will become a sociopath like his father.Since 1 have the clinical diagnosis from the psychologist, can I hire a lawyer to request that Ron have only supervised visits?I realize that I’m meddling in my sister’s business, but she doesn’t have the strength to fight her ex.In fact, she wasn’t the one who asked for the divorce.Ron did.My parents are very old, and none of the other siblings cares about this.I feel I should do something.— Can’t Stand By Helplessly Watching Dear Can’t: We understand your frustration and concern, but without your sister’s cooperation, there’s a limit to what you can do.Would you be willing to claim that she is an incompetent mother and take custody of the boy?Can you show that she is putting her child at risk?We think you should instead urge your sister to get counseling to understand the ways in which she is allowing her ex-husband to take advantage of her and emotionally damage their child.She also should seek counseling for her angry son, who wants his father to love him, and so he emulates behavior that hurts his mother, whom he also loves.This is both confusing and manipulative.Perhaps she will take action for the sake of her child, if not for herself.Dear Annie: When my family gets together for holidays, my two daughters-in-law prepare and bring food.When dinner is over, they clean and do dishes.My daughter rarely brings food and never helps with the cleanup.This embarrasses me, yet I do not want to say anything that would spoil the day for everyone.Perhaps she will read this letter and realize that family members should do their share.What do you say?— Just a Mom Dear Mom: We say you need to tell your daughter to do her share, but don’t wait until the last minute.Before the next holiday gathering, simply ask her to bring a dish like everyone else, and add that you expect her to participate in the cleanup, along with her sisters-in-law.And by the way, where are your sons?They should be helping, as well.We suggest that you make a matter-of-fact announcement to that effect and assign chores for everyone.Dear Annie: I cried when I first read the letter from “Saddened,” whose wife has cut off all forms of intimacy.I am a few years shy of 60 and have had no intimacy in years because of my husband’s “medical issues,” though I often wonder whether he simply doesn’t want me anymore.I know age has changed us, but the feelings are still there.I cry when I think of what I am missing.He couldn’t hurt me any more if he stuck a knife through me.I’ve tried initiating and hinting, and get a peck on the cheek for my efforts.I don’t want him to feel forced.The thought of an affair has crossed my mind, but there’s no one else I want, and I doubt anyone would want me.I know my husband loves me, but I miss the closeness we once shared.I have reconciled myself to the fact that this is the way it’s going to be, but inside, I am — Heartbroken Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Email your social news to
