accumulation could pose safety concerns ETSB presents new \u2018Commitment to Success Plan\u2019 By Matthew McCully According to Memphremagog East Fire Services Battalion Chief Chris Goodsell, there are a number of safety issues to consider after a large snowfall.While the roofs of most homes are built to factor in the weight of snow, scraping off the buildup is never a bad idea.With the dramatic fluctuations in temperature happening recently, Good- sell said rain on top of snow would make the load considerably heavier.The Régie du bâtiment du Québec lists the following signs on its website to watch for after a major snowfall: \u2022Cracks appearing on interior walls.\u2022Interior doors jamming or rubbing against the frame.\u2022Conspicuous creaking noises.\u2022Deformation or buckling of a ceiling.If such signs are numerous, the Régie recommends evacuating the building and taking the necessary actions to remove any snow load from the roof.Aside from weight on the roof, Good- sell said citizens who heat their homes with pellet stoves or natural gas should make sure their vents are clear of snow to avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.Also, Goodsell suggested that homeowners make sure basement windows that could serve as emergency exits are not completely submerged.\u201cWe carry shovels in our fire trucks,\u201d Goodsell said, \u201cbut that\u2019s one less guy I have to fight the fire,\u201d he explained.Goodsell said that it\u2019s also a big help when citizens who have a fire hydrant on their property make an effort to keep it cleared of snow, even if just partially.While it is a municipal obligation in most towns, Goodsell explained that fires may not correspond to municipal snow clearing schedules, so keeping hydrants clear is greatly appreciated.Goodsell also reiterated the importance of making sure a vehicle\u2019s exhaust system is not blocked by a snow bank.These days, many drivers have automatic starters.If someone were to let their car warm up, unaware it was backed too close to a snow bank, they could run the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, he said.Municipalities are currently in the process of removing snow from congested streets and clearing it away from intersections that have blind spots from snow mounds.While snow removal operations are underway, parents and caregivers should make sure children avoid the temptation to build forts, slide or climb on large snow banks near streets.PHOTOS BY MATTHEW MCCULLY By Matthew McCully During Tuesday evening\u2019s Eastern Townships School Board Council of Commissioners meeting, the board presented its strategic plan for the coming five years.The main objective of the Commitment to Success Plan is to raise the seven-year cohort graduation and certification rate among ETSB students.To do so, the board intends to make efforts to address the high vulnerability of future pre-school students, and move from a summative to a more formative assessment structure.Rather than evaluating a student\u2019s learning at the end of a session by comparing them to a standard or benchmark, a formative assessment would monitor a student\u2019s learning and provide ongoing feedback that can be used by the teacher to improve their methods and the student to improve their learning.Individual schools and centres also develop their own individual strategies, based on the main objectives of the board\u2019s Commitment to Success Plan, developed in collaboration with teachers, support staff, professionals, administrators, the central parents\u2019 committee and school commissioners.During question period Appalachian Teachers\u2019 Association President Megan Seline drew attention to the impressive new sign at the check-in booth at Galt.She pointed out the sign for the Lennoxville Vocational Training Centre is red spray paint on plywood, and asked the board if there were a plan to upgrade it to a sign as impressive as the one for Galt.ETSB Chairman Mike Murray replied that there are discussions revolving CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 Hello, brother.I couldn\u2019t help but overhear you on this beautiful morning yelling at that squirrel about NFL officiating.If you would stop kicking gravel at the pigeons for a moment, I feel I can help you.Come, sit with me on this bench.Let me move my half-eaten Reuben sandwich.Mind the dill\u2026 You see, brother, I was once like you.I too invested considerable emotional energy in professional sports teams I had no real affinity with other than, at best, a shared area code.I built my identity and an inordinate amount of fashion choices around these teams.Their wins were my wins, their losses my losses, their trades my detailed analyses on sports-radio call-in shows.Then I hit rock bottom.For you see, my friend, I was a 1986 Red Sox fan.That was not merely a ball that dribbled through Bill Buckner\u2019s legs but my very soul.My sanity.My mortgage I had inadvisably wagered.The following decade was a blur of me angrily confronting vendors at sports card expos, binging on Gatorade and lightly stalking Wayne Gretzky.But one day, while out of my mind on Rub A535 and muttering about Pete Rose, a man approached me and told me about Finding Inner Peace By Not Giving A Flying Fig About Professional Sports.Don\u2019t jump so, my friend! You have disrupted the kraut in my Reuben! Sit.Let me share with you the wonders of FIPBNGAFFAPS.For I can see that you are troubled by the results of sporting contests that have no bearing on your life other than the odd digestive matter.Am I also safe in assuming you use \u201cLeBron\u201d as a verb?As I suspected.Here: cradle my pickle while I tell you about my Monday morning.I awakened gently with the sun and greeted the day with reverence.\u201cThank you, Giver of Life, for all good things: mattress covers that don\u2019t get all bunchy; itches that can be easily reached; pastrami.\u201d Then I ate my breakfast, showered my teeth and made my way to the bus stop.It was there that I heard men speaking about a football event in tones normally reserved for long-simmering family grievances.I knew nothing of this match between the Los Angeles Boy Goats and the Swell Guys From New Orleans.I did not catch all their conversation \u2013 the referee failed to penalize the quarterback for illegally soaking his hands in Palmolive, or some such; the rules have changed so since I last paid attention.The names they spoke were just sounds to me.I continued to wait for my bus in bliss.And rubber boots.No, no, I don\u2019t need to hear what actually happened.I\u2019m sure it seems a tragedy of Greek proportions and it is no doubt unjust.But because I do not Give A Flying Fig About Professional Sports, I would be able to offer no more emotional support than if you were to recount a dream in which Ed Asner was rummaging through your chest freezer in search of his spats.You see, brother, FIPBNGAFFAPS renders all professional sports meaningless.It does not deny the existence of professional sports, for player salaries in the millions prove it must be so.Instead, FIPBNGAFFAPS transcends you to a state wherein professional sport is not an entity in itself but a part of all creation, no greater or lesser than all things \u2013 except the New York Knicks who are consistently lesser.I see you are coming to an understanding.Oh, you\u2019re just eyeing my Reuben.Help yourself.For it is only half a sandwich, still satisfying though not the whole, just as you can eventually watch an occasional sporting event without investing your \u201cwhole\u201d self in it.Merely enjoy the spectacle without truly giving a flying fig about the outcome.And this pickle?It\u2019s a Beyonce halftime show.Actually, green and bumpy?It\u2019s more of a Paul McCartney.But before you can get to that point, my Swiss-cheese-loving benchmate, you must turn away from all sporting events.At first you will Wonder Anxiously About Professional Sports, then you will Participate Halfheartedly in Conversations About Professional Sports.As you free yourself, soon you will Stop Posting Aggressive Memes About Professional Sports, before moving on to Not Knowing Who Was Traded Where in Professional Sport.Finally, with dedication and Monday nights reading a damn book for once, you will Find Inner Peace By Not Giving a Flying Fig About Professional Sports! The Oscars, on the other hand, that\u2019s a big deal.Ben by Daniel Shelton Weather TODAY: RAIN HIGH OF 9 LOW OF -10 FRIDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH OF -4 LOW OF -19 SATURDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF -14 LOW

vibrant name for the centre that could resonate better with the public.Murray suggested the delay in improved signage is likely because of the difficulty in committing to a new name.In new business, the board approved the appointment of Jane Akroyd as interim teaching principal at Farnham Elementary, 40 per cent.February will be a busy month for the ETSB.Three different awareness campaigns will take place in the first few weeks of the month.The school bus safety campaign, \u201cdo you see me?\u201d will take place between Feb.4-15.Teacher appreciation week runs from Feb.3-9, and will be followed by Hooked on School Days, taking place from Feb.11-15.During committee reports, commissioners said Parkview Elementary is looking at the possibility of starting up a bilingual program at the school.Transportation committee is in the process of revamping the board\u2019s transportation policy.There is also a new pilot project in place to alert parents with children attending schools in the eastern sector (ADS, Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Cookshire, Drummondville, Lennoxville, North Hat- ley, Pope Memorial, Princess Elizabeth, Sawyerville, Sherbrooke, St.Francis, Sun- nyside, GALT, RRHS) of late busses.On the ETSB website, parents can click on the parent tab, then transportation, then bus delays.Any bus that is running more than 20 minutes late will be listed, along with the reason and estimated length of the delay, as well as the schools affected.Chairman Murray asked if there were any statistics available regarding the performance of ETSB busses.Transportation committee rep Gary Holiday replied that when a bus is late, Director Bruce Banfill looks into that matter, but he was not aware of any statistics.Murray suggested the board begin to collect statistics about delays and generate an annual or semi-annual report to have a better idea of the situation.Murray met recently with Brome-Mis- sisquoi MNA and Minister for Education Isabelle Charest.During the meeting, Murray discussed the state of Farnham Elementary, calling the facilities unacceptable.Currently, the bathrooms in the school are only accessible through the gymnasium.Offices for staff are curtained off in the area that used to be the stage in the gym, he added.Murray added that there is a lack of accessibility at the school.\u201cAccording to norms, it doesn\u2019t merit an expansion,\u201d Murray told Charest, hoping for support from the MNA to improve the situation.Murray added that the board is also trying to transfer the $6.5 million in funding approved for improvements to Drummondville Elementary into funding for a new school instead.According to Murray, paying $6.5 million for patchwork improvements at the school that would amount to temporary fixes doesn\u2019t make sense compared to $10 or $11 for a new building that could respond to the needs in the community in the long term.Murray said the provincial government is expected to table legislation on school fees by early spring.Given the complexity of the issue and the differing needs of schools across the province, Murray said the board would make an effort to participate in the discussion to ensure the guidelines don\u2019t negatively affect the ETSB.Thursday , January 24, 2019 Page 3 \u201cSnowmobiling not only attracts fans from the region but also an international clientele, given the proximity of some

snowmobilers Record Staff Les Motoneigistes du Memphréma- gog Inc.is a Snowmobile club responsible for maintaining about 85 kilometres of snowmobile trails in the Memphrémagog MRC and 66 kilometres of these trails make up part of the Trans- Québec trail network.To allow it to continue ensuring the safety of snowmobilers and improving trail quality, the organization will receive a $31,312 non-repayable contribution from Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions.The funding will be used to acquire a new grader and a winch, as well as to replace parts on existing equipment.This assistance was announced Tuesday by Brome-Missisquoi MP Denis Paradis, on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for CED.\"Winter tourism contributes significantly to the economic vitality of the Memphrémagog MRC,\u201d Paradis said.\u201cSnowmobiling not only attracts fans from the region but also an international clientele, given the proximity of some trails to the Canada-U.S.border.Better quality trails will help enhance the visibility of the Townships region and strengthen its reputation as a destination of choice.\" The Government of Canada funding will help ensure the quality and sustainability of the trails maintained by Les Motoneigistes du Memphrémagog Inc., enhance the snowmobilers' experience, and contribute to the vitality of winter tourism in the Memphrémagog MRC.The funding was provided under the Winter Tourism Initiative, part of CED's Quebec Economic Development Program.This initiative supports the acquisition of snowmobile and cross-country ski trail maintenance equipment.The aim of the initiative, which has a budget of $10 million and will remain in effect until March 31, 2020, is to increase the regional benefits generated by tourists from outside Quebec.A non-profit organization, the Fédération des clubs de motoneigistes du Québec (FCMQ) oversees the development and promotion of safe snowmobiling.The 200 snowmobile clubs affiliated with the FCMQ maintain over 34,000 kilometres of trails across Quebec, over 1,800 of which run through the Eastern Townships.The Government of Canada supports recreational, cultural, and sports projects that have a positive impact on tourism and the local economy and showcase the incomparable assets all around us; and which resonate well beyond the Cantons-de-l'Est region.CED is one of the six regional development agencies under the responsibility of the, Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development. By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record Bishop\u2019s University\u2019s Dr.Heather Lawford was recently appointed the Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Youth Development, becoming the third faculty member to become a CRC in the last year.The Record met with Lawford yesterday to learn more about her research, focusing on generativity in youth.Lawford became a Bishop\u2019s professor in 2012 within the Psychology Department, after completing a doctorate at Concordia and a post-doctoral fellowship through Brock University and the Centre of Excellence in Youth Engagement.Her interests have always been centered around issues of collaboration with youth and community organizations.\u201cI study what is called generativity,\u201d she explained, \u201cwhich is usually studied in mid-life and older adults.Generativ- ity is about wanting to leave a legacy and creating a better world for future generations.It can be expressed in parenting, at work, and in a community.\u201d She added that the teaching profession is one of the biggest examples of genera- tivity in the workforce, by expressing a desire to educate the next generation and wanting to help students become contributing citizens.Becoming a CRC will help her put \u201ca spotlight on Canadian research on the international stage.It allows me to invest more time in my work and gives me the opportunity to hire Bishop\u2019s students as research assistants.Their participation has been essential so far.\u201d Law- ford is also on sabbatical for the first time and is therefore not teaching at the university this year.\u201cIt\u2019s the first year I haven\u2019t been in the classroom and I actually miss it so much more than I thought I would,\u201d she chuckled, adding that although she misses connecting with the students, she is regularly on campus and gets to work with the research assistants daily.\u201cIt\u2019s such an honour to join the two other remarkable researchers at Bishop\u2019s who have become CRC.\u201d Lawford, who usually teaches child development classes, was also the coordinator for the Psychological Health and Well-Being Research Cluster at the university and worked with the Teaching and Learning Centre.Her CRC research will explore the concept of generativity in youth, a life period that is otherwise rarely studied.\u201cWe realize that that motivation and desire to bring change and contribute happens earlier in the lifespan of young people.So far, young people are really motivated to have a lasting impact on their community.Being a CRC will allow us to examine generativity from the perspective of young people and observe the contributions they want to make and are already making,\u201d expressed Lawford.\u201cMalala Yousafzai is a great example of a young adult who displays well-de- veloped generativity,\u201d added Lawford.Yousafzai is the Pakistani activist who stood up to Talibans in 2012 and is now an advocate for female education.She is also the youngest person to ever win a Nobel Peace Prize.\u201cMalala has gone further than your typical young person in the context of generativity.By interviewing such young people and observing their journey, we can develop a questionnaire to understand this construct in the general youth population.\u201d Lawford clarified that there is a link between extreme hardship in youth and becoming a generative person.\u201cWe\u2019ve seen it a lot in the news.Hardship leads to the desire to leave a legacy.Generative adults who are motivated to help future generations also tell their stories in a redemptive way, in which they connect the negative things that have happened to them to a positive outcome, one that they usually create for themselves.\u201d However, generativity is complex, and can also occur with children whose parents have provided them with a safe, warm, and loving environment, and who have caring friendships.Lawford\u2019s goal for the research \u201cis to get it done,\u201d she claimed, laughing.\u201cOne of the reasons I pursued the CRC position is to highlight the outstanding research that happens at Bishop\u2019s.It\u2019s a small undergraduate institution but we have the freedom to ask hard questions.It\u2019s important to have this platform to share our work not only across Canada but also the world.We accomplish important work and our undergraduates play a very important role in our research,\u201d she explained.\u201cWe\u2019re also working on introducing a graduate certificate in Knowledge Mobilization, which explores the concept of putting research into action.I believe it\u2019s where the future of research careers is heading.We\u2019re also working on having a masters\u2019 program.There are very few programs like this in Canada,\u201d added Lawford.Ultimately, Lawford hopes that her research as the CRC will help \u201chighlight that young people are important contributors to our society.We need to start acknowledging the role they play in bettering our world and we need to give them a voice and platform to help them contribute.\u201d Page 4 Thursday , January 24, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record TY PICA L DONOR Donors

By Phelps Helps Last week, Phelps Helps had the opportunity to visit both Alexander Galt and Bishop\u2019s University to recruit students and volunteers.At Galt, Jayme had a kiosk in the Networking Zone of the second annual career day: Unlock your Future: Discover Opportunities in the Eastern Townships.This was an excellent chance to speak with students about some recent changes to our High School Tutoring Program, most notably the offering expanding to three evenings (Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday) in both languages, as well as recruit some new participants for the program.As the event targetted levels 4 and 5 students planning their futures, she encouraged Stanstead area students to take advantage of our Compass Program, offering individual support for applying to CEGEP, vocational training, financial assistance, as well as finding employment.At Bishop\u2019s University, Clea spoke to students about volunteering at our weekly sessions.She explained how volunteering with Phelps Helps does not mean being an expert in any specific subject.Our volunteers play sports with elementary students, support elementary and high school student learning and act as positive role models.This call for volunteers is not limited to University students.If you have a willingness to create a positive relationship with a local youth, sign up as a volunteer today by emailing ccorman@phelpshelps.ca or calling 819-704-0799.Phelps was founded in 2012 and has grown organically from a single high school tutoring program to nine unique programs, providing the Stanstead area with free educational and career support.For more information or to volunteer, please email us at info@phelpshelps.ca, visit our website www.phelpshelps.ca or call our offices at 819-704-0799.Thursday , January 24, 2019 Page 5 The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Despite the extreme cold warnings issued by Environment Canada, unbelievably, dogs are still being left outdoors without adequate shelter.The Border Report Frontier Animal Society Featured pet: Olaf Even furry dogs like Olaf, need warmth and shelter in this extreme cold.Olaf loves to be outdoors, he loves to play in the snow, and he loves long leisurely walks in the woods but once playtime is over, he also loves to cuddle up and stay warm on a cozy blanket.All dogs deserve to be warm and feel safe and loved.With us now for almost 10 months, Olaf is so ready to find a loving family.Rescued from a community in Northern Quebec, when Olaf first arrived, he was a little aloof and clearly not used to being the center of attention.It took some time for him to settle in, but once he felt more at home, we saw a whole other side of Olaf who has proven to be an outgoing, engaged and very affectionate dog.He loves being with people and admittedly, it is hard on our morale to see him passed over for adoption again and again.Really, his only limitation is that he can\u2019t live with other dogs or cats but with people, what an incredible charmer he is.He has definitely won all of us over.Olaf is always eager for his morning outing and cheerfully sings to encourage the volunteer walker to take him out first.He is so happy when he is out for his walks and if you visit our facebook page (www.facebook.com/frontierani- malsociety) you can watch a short video of him running and playing in our dog park.Olaf so enjoys human companionship and he will lean-in against us for cuddles.In a home environment where he is loved and has a consistent routine, he will be such a great companion.He is well behaved in the house and just so darn loveable! Olaf, who is 5 years old, has one blue eye and one brown eye.If you think you might be the one to give this big teddy bear of a dog the loving forever home he longs for, we\u2019d love to hear from you.To inquire, please send an email to fron- tieranimalsociety@gmail.com or better yet give our adoption coordinator Brenda a call at 819.876.7747 any day of the week between 8 a.m and 8 p.m.Recently we've been experiencing record cold, but despite the extreme cold warnings issued by Environment Canada, unbelievably, dogs are still being left outdoors without adequate shelter.Older dogs and puppies are generally more susceptible to the cold but even longer-haired and thick-coated dog breeds, though more tolerant of cold weather should not be left outside for long periods in below-freezing weather.If you are concerned about a dog being left outside in the cold for long periods without proper housing (dog houses must be very well insulated to provide sufficient warmth), please be their voice and report the neglect.Locally you can call the SPA de l\u2019estrie at 819-821-4727, ext: 5.Your call will be kept strictly confidential and will allow SPA inspectors to help animals in need.For incidents outside of the territory covered by the SPA, contact MAPAQ at 1-844- ANIMAUX (1-844-264-6289).Phelps Helps visits Alexander Galt and Bishop\u2019s University Canadians, I am sure, are still adjusting to the recent cabinet changes made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.The shuffling of the cabinet was necessitated by the announcement by Treasury Board President, Scott Brison, that he would not be running in the next election.Brison\u2019s decision set in motion a number of cabinet changes.Whether the Prime Minister is using the President of the Treasury Board\u2019s departure to put a shine on his government before the next election by presenting a \u201cfresh face\u201d to a jaded population or he just wants to shake things up a bit is a moot point.It does, however, take a deft hand since any change to the cabinet\u2019s makeup involves maintaining the precarious balance between male and female, urban and rural, ten provinces, indigenous representation and visible minorities.To those on the sidelines it is a confusing process.But never fear.Ever mindful of my role in explaining Canadian politics to you, the patient reader, I have drawn up a short quiz that should serve to elucidate what exactly has taken place.(answers appear at the end of the quiz.) 1.Why did Scott Brison call it quits?a) He wants to spend more time with his partner and young children.b) The Admiral Norman case and his role in it is about to bite him on the backside.c) Taking his parliamentary pension will make him better off than all but six of the people who voted for him 2.Why didn\u2019t the Prime Minister just fill the vacant spot instead of shuffling bodies around the table?a) Making a cabinet is like musical chairs only in this case when the music stops 181 people are trying to grab a seat.b) To keep the other 35 Ministers on their toes.c) It gives the impression that the government is actually doing something.3.Why was Jody Wilson-Raybould bounced from the Justice Ministry?a) Nobody in her department liked herb) She actually says what she thinks.c) She was trying to push the Liberal government to actually do something on the reconciliation file.4.Why was Jody Wilson-Raybould given the job running Veterans Affairs?a) After five ministers in five and a half years it was obviously time for a change.b) Prime Minister Trudeau thought things were so bad she couldn\u2019t make it worse.c) Nothing is too good for our veterans.5.Who is David Lametti?a) The Montreal Impact\u2019s latest international soccer star.b) The man who started the \u201cpasta gate\u201d scandal.c) The new Minister of Justice.6.Why was Bill Morneau kept on as finance Minister?a) He was doing such a good job.b) He\u2019s the only one who knows how big the deficit is for sure.c) The middle class needs someone who understands their pain.7.Was Seamus O\u2019Regan\u2019s move from Veterans Affairs to Indigenous Services a promotion?a) If you\u2019re a veteran, yes.b) That\u2019s what Prime Minister Trudeau told him.c) It was more of a lateral leap.If you got 6 or 7 correct answers you obviously missed your calling as a columnist with the Globe and Mail.Getting 4 or 5 right and you qualify for a spot as a co-host on CBC\u2019s The National.If you managed just 3 or less, don\u2019t consider a career in government.Answers: 1b) 2c)

The roster for the U.S.series was chosen by Kingsbury, head coach Perry Pearn, head scout Melody Davidson and region and regional scouts Fourteen players from Canada's 2018 Olympic team, which lost the gold- medal game in a shootout to the U.S.in Pyeongchang, South Korea, will suit up again in the series.Laura Stacey, Jillian Saulnier, Sarah Nurse, Ann-Sophie Bettez, Blayre Turn- bull, Brittany Howard, Jamie Lee Rattray, Rebecca Leslie and Victoria Bach round out the forwards chosen for the series roster.Jocelyne Larocque, Renata Fast, Halli Krzyzaniak, Erin Ambrose and Kate Goseling join Fortino and Lacquette on defence.Goaltenders Genevieve Lacasse and Emerance Maschmeyer were also chosen for the squad.Canada rugby sevens coach sees positives ahead of New Zealand event By Neil Davidson THE CANADIAN PRESS Two events into the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, Canada coach Damian McGrath is seeing plenty of positives despite a labour dispute that cut into the team's pre-season preparations.While the Canadian men finished tied for 11th in both Dubai and Cape Town, they came close to making the Cup quar- ter-finals in South Africa.Tied 14-14 with Scotland, Canada conceded a try with 70 seconds remaining and lost 21-14.The way other results went, a win would have sent Canada into the final eight.Not bad considering the team was sidelined for two months over a contract impasse with Rugby Canada prior to returning to training Nov.1.\u201cI genuinely thought we'd struggle really badly but we performed really well,'' said McGrath, whose team takes part in the New Zealand Sevens this weekend in Hamilton.\u201cWe weren't that far away and we'll get stronger as the year gets on because the players will get fitter and more game-ready.\u201cSo there'll be lots of improvement for us as the year goes forward which, in an Olympic qualifying year, is no bad thing because the real prize is in July when we have the Olympic qualifying tournament.I'm happy for us to get better bit by bit and stay under the radar and be able to work on improving our game.'' The Canadians stand 12th in the World Series standings.The top four teams at the end of 10- event season will secure automatic qualification for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.The Canadians find themselves in the unlikely position of cheering on the Americans this season.Automatic qualification would remove the U.S.from the North American qualifying tournament, which would ease Canada's path to Tokyo.McGrath gets a boost this weekend with the return of Mike Fuailefau and Phil Berna from long-term injury absences.\u201cIt's almost like getting a new player back,'' McGrath said of Berna, who has been out more than a year with a serious ankle/leg fracture.\u201cHe's such a talented player and he's only a young man - 22.'' The hard-working Fuailefau, who has been out since the Rugby World Cup Sevens last July, is also coming off ankle surgery.But Harry Jones (shoulder), Lucas Hammond (ankle) and Admir Cejvanovic (quad) remain on the shelf.McGrath's 14-man squad features four players _ Cole Davis, Josh Morra, Jake Thiel and Brock Webster _ who were part of the Canada Maple Leafs development team that recently returned from the South America Rugby Sevens.Davis and Webster could win their first sevens caps for Canada.They are part of an emerging young group that also includes Cooper Coats, David Richard and former Toronto Wolfpack forward Quinn Ngawati.\u201cI feel that (Webster) and David Richard will be stars at sevens or 15s for years to come,'' McGrath said.\u201cI'm really excited about those two young guys.'' Called up as an injury replacement, Halifax's Coats made his World Series debut in Cape Town in December.Davis has already won caps for the 15s team under coach Kingsley Jones.\u201cI think it's a big bonus for Kingsley that's Cole's getting a chance to work on his skills and the things that sevens bring to your game,'' said McGrath.Ngawati, 19, also drew good reviews in South America.Speedster Justin Douglas arrives in Hamilton as Canada's all-time tries leader after upping his total to 126 with four tries in Cape Town.Sean Duke had held the record at 124.\u201cI've waxed lyrical about Justin since I arrived (as coach) and nothing that's happened since has made me change my mind,'' said McGrath.\u201cHe's just a great player, one of the best that Canada has ever had at sevens.'' Captain Nathan Hirayama also reached a milestone in South Africa, going past 1,500 career points.Hirayama has 45 points in the opening two stops on the series.Canada opens Pool D play in Hamilton against No.9 Spain, No.2 New Zealand and No.15 Japan.After New Zealand, the teams head to Sydney, Australia, for play Feb.2-3.Canada Roster Phil Berna, UBC Thunderbirds, Vancouver; Connor Braid, James Bay AA, Victoria; Cole Davis, Calgary Saints, Calgary; Justin Douglas, Abbotsford RFC, Abbots- ford, B.C.; Mike Fuailefau, Castaway Wanderers, Victoria; Nathan Hirayama (capt.) unattached, Richmond, B.C.; Isaac Kaay, UVIC Vikes, Kamloops, B.C.; Pat Kay, Castaway Wanderers, Duncan, B.C.; Luke Mc- Closkey, Castaway Wanderers, Victoria; Josh Morra, Toronto Saracens, Toronto; Matt Mullins, James Bay AA, Belleville, Ont.; Jake Thiel, Abbotsford RFC, Abbots- ford, B.C.; Brock Webster, Oshawa Vikings, Oshawa, Ont.; Adam Zaruba, Capilano RFC, North Vancouver.

it?Does eating raw steak cause it?Or smoking?Dear Reader: At this time, there is no known cure for pancreatic cancer, the third most deadly cancer in the United States.Symptoms of pancreatic cancer are so vague that they can be confused with a range of other diseases and conditions.Because there is no reliable screening test at this time to catch pancreatic cancer in its earlier stages, it is often diagnosed only after it has spread.The pancreas is a spongy gland, about 6 to 10 inches long, wide at the head and narrow at the tail, with a shape that has been compared to a fish.Its job is to make enzymes to help with digestion and hormones that play a role in the regulation of blood sugar.The pancreas is located in the upper left part of the abdomen, between the stomach and the spine.Also surrounding it are the liver, spleen and small intestine, a location that adds to the challenge of making an accurate diagnosis when anything goes wrong.The majority of the pancreas \u2014 95 percent \u2014 is devoted to tissues that produce enzymes.The remaining 5 percent is made up of endocrine cells, which secrete hormones, including insulin.Cancer can start in either of these two types of tissues, but the most common form occurs in the enzyme- producing cells and ducts.Although the exact cause of pancreatic cancer has not yet been identified, certain risk factors are known.As you mention, cigarette smoking is one of the risk factors.So is a family history of the disease, as well as repeated bouts of pancreatitis, an inflammatory condition in which the pancreatic enzymes build up and begin to digest the organ.Pancreatic cysts are also believed to be possible precursors of cancer.We don\u2019t know of a connection between eating raw beef and this type of cancer.When cancer develops in the pancreas, it interferes with the normal functioning of the organ.This results in symptoms that can include pain in the upper abdomen, fluid buildup, nausea, weight loss, jaundice, poor appetite, loose and foul-smelling stools, or diarrhea.In some cases, the sudden onset of diabetes can be a symptom of pancreatic cancer.But as we mentioned before, the location of the pancreas, deep in the abdomen and amid a cluster of other organs, makes it a challenge to accurately identify the source of the symptoms.Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, ablation (extreme cold or heat), radiation and certain drug regimens.The approach chosen depends on the type of cells that are involved, the age of the patient and the stage of the disease.Also a factor is how the patient feels about the possible side effects of a recommended treatment, and the likelihood that it will be helpful.Despite being a deadly cancer in which survival rates have not measurably improved in 40 years, pancreatic cancer has a low profile.In our opinion, research money directed to developing a reliable screening test for pancreatic cancer should become a priority.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Pancreatic cancer\u2019s location makes it difficult

For the sauce and toppings: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering.Add onion, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until onion is softened and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes.Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.Stir in tomatoes and sugar, bring to simmer, and cook until sauce measures 2 1/2 cups, 25 to 30 minutes.Off heat, stir in basil and remaining oil.Season with salt and pepper to taste.Transfer to bowl and let cool completely before using.Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 425 F.Press down on dough to deflate and transfer to clean counter.Press and roll dough into 15 by 12- inch rectangle, with short side parallel to counter edge.Spread softened butter over dough, leaving 1/2- inch border along edges.Roll dough away from you into firm cylinder, keeping roll taut by tucking it under itself as you go.With seam side down, flatten cylinder into 18 by 4-inch rectangle.Cut rectangle in half crosswise.Working with 1 half at a time, fold dough into thirds like business letter, then pinch seams together to form rough ball.Return dough balls seam side down to greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic, and let rise in refrigerator until nearly doubled in size, 30 minutes to 1 hour.Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with 2 tablespoons oil each.Press and roll 1 dough ball into 13-inch round of even thickness, sprinkling dough and counter with flour as needed to prevent sticking.Loosely roll dough around rolling pin and gently unroll it into prepared pan.Gently press dough into pan, working it into corners and 1 inch up sides.(If dough resists stretching, let it relax for 5 to 10 minutes before trying to stretch it again.)

Eight months after my first encounter with the Eclipse Cross, I was again back behind the wheel, this time in the midst of winter.My pre- Christmas test drive was to see if the crossover still merited inclusion on the shortlists of car shoppers.A design that\u2019s as unique as ever When stacked up against the brand\u2019s other SUVs, or even against the majority of other utility models available on the market, the Eclipse Cross is still resolutely original with its knife- cut front end and its trapezoidal fenestration.Then there\u2019s the slightly heavy back end that seems just a bit overloaded with its parking lights that double as a second spoiler beneath the one that sits over the back hatch.Will this shape retain its charm over the next decade?It\u2019s a point worth considering.This may a good or bad thing in your book, but the Eclipse Cross leaves almost no one indifferent when it comes to its appearance: some love it, others hate it.Who knows, maybe this was Mitsubishi\u2019s chosen way to draw attention to its product.I can at least confirm that the vehicle\u2019s exterior is well put-together, although a wind noise on the left side did spoil things just a bit over the course of my test- drive period.Otherwise I noted no anomalies regarding the frame.Maybe it was the left-side mirror\u2019s fault\u2026 An interior that\u2019s unique as well A quick look at the Mitsubishi lineup is all it takes to see that the manufacturer\u2019s vehicles have not been developed in homogenous fashion.The dashboards in each of them have almost nothing in common save for a few buttons that are common to all.The Eclipse Cross is no exception; its dashboard design is totally unlike any other in the automaker\u2019s lineup.In my view the model\u2019s design is a successful one\u2026 but the ergonomics, not so much.The glossy black main surface is pretty, but will inevitably wear over time, especially in the area between the two front occupants where much of the action takes place.I like the shape of the touchscreen, but toggling between menus is still a bit difficult.And the elevated touch- pad to the right of the gear shifter is no solution.I\u2019m not the biggest fan of this system that supposedly makes life easier for motorists; on the contrary, it obliges the driver to take their eyes off the road to find the application they want.For the rest, this utility model is a largely sober affair.The positioning of the ventilation commands is adequate, and the steering wheel is pleasant to hold, but it\u2019s heated only at the three- and nine-o\u2019clock positions.Not optimal for all drivers.The leather seating, meanwhile, is plenty comfortable, which I assume is intended to help seduce American consumers.Behind it all, cargo space is acceptable, especially as the 60/40 rear bench can be pulled forward to create more space to fit cumbersome objects.Behind the wheel Unlike the late, lamented Eclipse, an inspired coupe that marked the history of the brand, the Eclipse Cross is not exactly blessed with a sporty character.Yes, it\u2019s true that the 1.5L 4-cylin- der turbo engine handles itself well in combination with the continuously variable transmission, but a few days spent driving in heavy traffic and going about my regular business revealed to me that the suspension is far too soft.Actually, it\u2019s not quite as soft as the Outlander\u2019s, so there\u2019s that.But still, the Eclipse Cross could really do with a firmer touch, especially given that its stiff chassis could handle it easily! Roll is pronounced when taking corners at speed, and when braking heavily, the front of the vehicle dives just a little too much in the direction of the asphalt for my taste.This element is definitely not one of the Eclipse Cross\u2019 strong points; a more muscular braking system would be most welcome.I also found the steering to be a little lacking in precision, though to be fair I\u2019ve driven vehicles that performed worse in this regard.The turbo engine, meanwhile, sings loud and strong when the accelerator is pressed to the floor, though here again this is a common characteristic of a vehicle working with a CVT.On the plus side, when at cruising speed the Eclipse Cross offers a quiet ride \u2013 except for that mysterious left-side wind noise, of course! It also needs mentioning that the elastic effect of the CVT is still there, still noticeable.The paddles affixed to the steering column do little to enhance the driving experience, with the \u201cfalse\u201d gear shifts invariably followed by knocks; this is not really something that will inspire driving joy.As for fuel consumption, it never dropped below 10.0L/100 km for me over the several days I drove it this past December.It\u2019s higher than what Mitsubishi advertises, but it\u2019s quite acceptable given the cold winter temperatures, the all-wheel-drive system and the (slight) sportiness of the crossover.The last word The puzzlement I mentioned feeling over the brand\u2019s utility lineup remains.And it has to do with this: the Eclipse Cross is roughly the same size as the RVR, but with a heavier layer of technologies to offer consumers.However, the $36,448 price tag (plus the $1,895 in transport and prep) means that Mitsubishi is not giving the Eclipse Cross GT away.I\u2019m not really surprised therefore to see that the other two utility models in the lineup, blessed with more attractive pricing, sell better.What\u2019s more, some consumers might be scared off by the model\u2019s powertrain, which is still little known on the market.The Eclipse Cross is an odd creature, a utility model that can meet the needs of a specific clientele and comes with an attractive 10-year powertrain warranty.But it doesn\u2019t stack up against competing models more established on the market quite as well as the manufacturer wants to pretend.Canadians love the model more than Americans\u2026 per capita!
