lining both sides of the road down Craig Street and along Principale, either on foot or seated in their warm cars and trucks.The town, along with several local businesses, helped to warm those gathered with free cups of hot chocolate and coffee.Led off by piper Matthew Fowler and the members of the Saint Patrick\u2019s Society, this year\u2019s parade was the usual cross-section of the local community.Groups represented ranged from the Scouts to the 4H, Local Daycares, politicians, and the Richmond Fair, and participants made their way down the route walking,riding on wagons or trailers, and driving in their tractors, transport trucks, four-wheelers, pickups and electric cars.Saint Patrick himself made an appearance, sporting a pair of sunglasses, perhaps in an effort to help everyone think of warmer days, and the procession also included two marching bands.In addition to those humans who walked or drove in the parade, there was also a variety of four-legged friends, including horses the size of dogs and a dog who was almost the size of a horse.More pictures on page 3 GORDON LAMBIE Global climate march ?lls the streets in Sherbrooke By Gordon Lambie People young and old filed into the streets in Sherbrooke and around the world on Friday as a part of a global call for action on climate change.On the warmest day of the year so far, hundreds of people marched through downtown Sherbrooke, led in large part by a vast contingent of students from all levels who walked out of their Friday classes to make their concerns for the planet and their futures heard.Similar climate rallies took place in cities all over the world, raising the collective voices of millions in a call inspired by the actions of Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg.Last August Thunberg walked out of school and held a strike in front of her national parliament in to call for stronger measures in support of the environment.She has since been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her initiative.More pictures on page 5 Ben by Daniel Shelton Weather TODAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS HIGH OF -3 LOW OF -13 TUESDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF -2 LOW OF -10 WEDNESDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF 5 LOW OF -1 THURSDAY: SNOW OR RAIN HIGH OF 3 LOW OF -2 FRIDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS HIGH OF -3 LOW OF -11 Page 2 Monday, March 18, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record The Record e-edition There for you 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week.Wherever you are.Access the full edition of the Sherbrooke Record as well as special editions and 30 days of archives.Renew or order a new 12- month print subscription and get a 12-month online subscription for an additional $5 or purchase the online edition only for $82.21.Record subscription rates (includes Quebec taxes) For print subscription rates, please call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com 12 month web only: $125.00 1 month web only: $11.25 Web subscribers have access to the daily Record as well as archives and special editions.Subscribing is as easy as 1,2,3: 1.Visit the Record website: www.sherbrookerecord.com 2.Click e-edition.3.Complete the form and wait for an email activating your online subscription.Local SAFE farm animal sanctuary faces hay crisis After purchasing the beautiful 70 acre farm located at 508 Rte de Mansonville in Potton in 2016, Catherine Gagnieux, founder of SAFE, made her long time dream a reality in opening an animal sanctuary.Catherine admits that at first offering a home for farm animals had not been the initial plan however, due to the exposure of the plight of farm animals; she soon realized that she could make a difference by focusing on these animals.When she first opened her SAFE farm there was only one other farm animal sanctuary (now closed) in the province of Quebec as opposed to other parts of Canada.According to its website: https://www.safe-refuge.org/ the Mission of the SAFE sanctuary is: \u2022To change the perception of Quebec\u2019s attitude towards farm animals \u2022To create awareness about the terrible abuse of farm animals \u2022To educate consumers on their role in the ill-treatment of farm animals \u2022To acknowledge that ALL farmers are not necessarily at fault \u201cAs a farm animal sanctuary making ends meet especially during the winter is very hard,\u201d shares Gagnieux.\u201cWe were given charitable status last October in 2018 and we are hoping that it will make a big difference in the long run as the expenses are huge,\u201d she stressed.The unpredictable winter has been long, cold and hard on the animals.Did you know that ruminants (cows, horses, goats, and sheep) need to eat long fibres such as hay to keep warm?Gagnieux explained that the farm has used up their hay supply three times faster this year than last and almost ran out twice.She also shared that matters have been made worse by the fact that the dry summer last year made it a bad year for the hay crop with small amounts now in supply as small farms are hanging on to what they have for their own use.\u201cNobody has any left to sell except for large suppliers who are asking that their hay be purchased in large quantities as a minimum order,\u201d said Gagnieux.\u201cOur budget and lack of storage space will not allow us to do this.Because the demand is so high and the supplies limited, prices have gone through the roof,\u201d she added.The income for a small non profit farm of this sort is gained through donations, fundraising, guided tours and events which, are few and far between in the winter months.Potton\u2019s SAFE farm animal sanctuary is suffering and has now gone into survival mode.\u201cSurviving is the focus but, I have long wanted to take the farm to the next level and expand somewhat to be able to help other animals,\u201d shared Gagnieux.\u201cWe are in dire need to order new hay as fast as possible and the last order we received has wiped out the bank account,\u201d she continues.\u201cThis order will only last a little while and new hay will only be available in June.Please help us feed and keep our animals warm now until summer returns.\u201d There are different ways to offer your support.To find our more about the Pot- ton SAFE farm animal refuge visit: www.safe-refuge.org or email them at: info@safe-refuge.org or, you can become a monthly donor, or make a one-time donation at: www.canadahelps.org/fr/dn/38320 Mable Hastings The Scoop PHOTOS COURTESY Bronco, Shitara, Silver and Shakira Prince Philip Neemo and Bailey Monday, March 18, 2019 Page 3 Over 12,000 jobs were up for grabs, as well as around 1,000 geared specifically to students.LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Saint Patrick\u2019s Day CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Over 4,000 attend the Salon Priority-Emploi Record Staff The 20th edition of Salon Priority- Emploi Estrie took place over the weekend at the Centre de Foires in Sherbrooke.Close to 4,400 people visited the job fair over Friday and Saturday, to learn about the jobs available in the region.Over 12,000 jobs were up for grabs, as well as around 1,000 geared specifically to students.COURTESY OF LVTC The Lennoxville Vocational Training Centre attended the job fair on the weekend to introduce job seekers to the variety of programs available at the centre.COURTESY OF WALES HOME Representatives from the Wales Home were among the institutions present at the job fair held over the weekend in Sherbrooke.PICTURES BY GORDON LAMBIE Page 4 Monday , March 18 , 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Support the local businesses, services & professionals who serve our area where you live, work and play!

Record Staff Eight curling clubs in the Townships were busy over the weekend hosting the Gordon International Curling Competition, a tradition since 1884.For the first time in the history of the competition, the Canadian edition was held off the island of Montreal.This year, Canada came out on top with a score of 298 to 243.The friendly competition brought together more than 250 players to form 60 teams, including 20 who came up from the northeastern United States.According to the players, holding the competition in the Townships instead of Montreal was a refreshing change.While the clubs (Bedford, Stanstead, Drum- mondville, Danville, Cowansville, Lennoxville, North Hatley, Sherbrooke) were more spread out, it gave the visiting players an opportunity to tour the area.Another interesting aspect of the spread out tournament was that by Saturday afternoon, as the final games were being played, it was still unclear who was in the lead.In a larger club with six sheets, the players could see who had won and have a general tally in their heads.Playing in a small club with two sheets meant the competitors had to wait until the final banquet, held Saturday evening, to find out the total, added from the eight clubs.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, March 18, 2019 Page 5 Global climate march CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Canada outscores U.S.to win Gordon International Curling Competition CDN 1 game high score: Team Lennoxville 2; Ralph Rourke, Jeff Bailes, Ralph Fanning and Dave McCormack PICTURES COURTESY OF ALLAN ROWELL USA 1 game high score: Team Rochester; Joe Calabresse, Mike Mengal, Bob Williams and Mike Hahn Ad Hastings Trophy for high score differential in a Gordon Game was a tie between Team St.Lambert and Team Lennoxville 3.Left to right, Paul Fantie, Brian Thomas, Dan Fontaine, Henri-Paul Bélanger, Jeff Cheal, Jarrod Sharman, Gary Labrecque and Greg Cheal.PICTURES BY GORDON LAMBIE Record Staff The Austin Municipal Council has embarked on the town\u2019s first participatory budgeting project, which is designed to empower citizens to make decisions together on how to spend a portion of the municipal budget.Citizens can propose and then vote on projects that will contribute to their community\u2019s well-being.\u201cThis process is consistent with one of the objectives we\u2019d set in our 2012-2017 strategic plan, to promote citizen participation and community involvement,\u201d explained Mayor Lisette Maillé.\u201cIt allows us to understand what our people want and better meet their expectations.\u201d The funding allocated to this first, 2019-2020 edition has been set at $25,000.The process kicks off in the Community Hall on Saturday, March 23 with an information session from 10 am to noon.\u201cThe purpose of this event is to explain how the participatory budgeting project works and to inspire our citizens by providing examples of projects that have been done elsewhere,\u201d Maillé said.\u201cAnother session will be held on Wednesday, March 27, from 7 to 9 p.m.\u201cCitizens interested in submitting a project are required to attend one of the two sessions.We want to ensure that everyone is on the same wavelength, especially since this is a first time around for us all.\u201d For additional information, call the Municipal Office at 819 843-2388 or consult the Municipality\u2019s website (in French) at: https://municipalite.austin.qc.ca/munic- ipalite/municipalite/budget-participatif/.Radio-Canada announced last week it åwants to get rid of some 100,000 vinyl records from storage in its tower in east-end Montreal.The brand new CBC/Rad-Can building on the same site is supposed to be ready for occupancy in January next year, so the public broadcaster is shedding excess inventory before the big move.The recordings on offer consist of non-digitized surplus copies of 49,000 LPs, 19,000 singles and 40,000 78 rpms.Fifty-seven thousand CDs are also up for grabs.The collection is about 40 per cent classical, 20 per cent popular French music and 17 per cent anglo pop.The Corp would like to see the whole lot go to educational institutions.Rad-Can/CBC\u2019s core collection of non- digitized music and voice recordings will be stored off site.Coincidental with the Corp\u2019s big vinyl purge is my own quest to cull the collection of vinyl gems and oddities taking up precious space in the house.One quickly discovers one\u2019s vinyl collection is as much a \u201crecord\u201d of who you are and what you did as are those drawers and boxes full of unorganized photographs.The oldest originally-bought record still in my collection - I weep to think of treasures lost or ruined along the way - is Peter & Gordon\u2019s World Without Love, whose title song was written by Sir Paul McCartney when he was 16.McCartney\u2019s girlfriend at the time was Jane Asher, Peter\u2019s sister.The second oldest album is Chad & Jeremy\u2019s 1965 release I Don\u2019t Want to Lose You Baby.Beats me why two discs by short-lived British pop duos should survive the years, other than they were simply ignored.The C&J recording contains two Bob Dylan songs, one by Rodgers and Hammerstein, one by Sonny Bono and one by Phil Ochs.The first album I got as a Christmas present was Led Zeppelin II, released in 1969.I still have that iconic LP with the weird blimp crew photo on the cover.It\u2019s got a monstrous scratch on one side, which gives it character, I suppose.I\u2019ve got two copies of Led Zeppelin I, one of which belonged to a former girlfriend.What\u2019s missing from this period, inexplicably, are almost all the albums that inspired the band I was in briefly as an untalented back-up vocalist, bass guitarist and keyboard player.The Birds, The Animals, Vanilla Fudge.I still have Cream albums from that era, although they are basically unplayable.I went through an early metal phase - Deep Purple, Grand Funk Railroad - then branched into more arty stuff - Roxy Music, Talking Heads, David Bowie, all of whom are still well-represented in the collection.Around this time, a friend opened a record store and my tastes and repertoire expanded into eclectic directions, from bluegrass (Doc Walker, Mike Audridge), to progressive jazz (Jean-Luc Ponty, Keith Jarrett) to world music (Milton Nascimento, Hugh Masekela).I also got baptized in the religion of Bruce Springsteen, who remains a deity.And yes, there is some Cancon.I have an Ian and Sylvia greatest hits double album (volume 2!) which includes Song For Canada, co-authored by Peter Gzowski; a few Bruce Cockburns, a Rough Trade, a Hometown Band, a pair of McGarrigles, a few Gordon Lightfoots and one by the franco-Ontarian band Cano.One of the Cancon oddities is what is probably hockey legend Frank Ma- hovlich\u2019s sole recording effort - All My Hockey Secrets.Didn\u2019t help.My vinyl collection pretty much ends in the 70s when cassettes, recordable at home and playable in cars, took over.Mercifully, I skipped the eight-track thing altogether.And now, it\u2019s all CDs and digital, for better or worse.Vinyl, though, has made a comeback.A Toronto company has been shipping dozens of high-tech presses a year since it started operations in 2015.A new process, using lasers, can stamp out pristine HD discs at a rapid rate.Ironically, a bold declaration on the Chad & Jeremy disc now appears prophetic: \u201cYou can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future.\u201d (It\u2019s Record Store Day on April 13.Take your vinyl for a spin.)

the 18 schools raising funds for the Special Olympics Canada Foundation through the motionball Marathon of Sport.Organized by students and stu- dent-athlete volunteers, 170 BU students and 14 Special Olympics athletes will be meeting on Saturday, March 23 at the John H.Price Sports and Recreation Centre.Fourteen teams, composed of students, student-athletes, and local Special Olympics athletes, will participate in a four-hour sports marathon, where they will play soccer, basketball, flag football, and more.Each team has pledged to raise at least $500 for the Special Olympics Canada Foundation, as they aim to raise a total of $10,000 for the cause.70 per cent of the funds raised will go directly to local Special Olympics programming in the Townships.\u201cWe heard about this event through friends and families that had participated in Marathons of Sport across the country,\u201d said the motionball committee members.Katie Quinn, Carter Filion, Duncan Lambert, Charlie Pink, Rachel Bayer, and Connor Lyon are the students behind the Lennoxville delegation, along with the help of Clare Webb, BU\u2019s sport information and social media intern.\u201cWhen we did more research on the inclusive nature of the events and how much fun it would be to host one at Bishop\u2019s, we could not pass up the opportunity.\u201d Each member of the motionball committee has a specific role, which ranges from securing funding, to managing team registration, to increasing awareness via social media, and much more.The committee has met weekly and biweekly since the end of October and they have set multiple fundraising engagements on campus.\u201cThis event gives students the opportunity to learn firsthand about the importance of inclusion in sport.Participants from around campus get to experience the fun and excitement of Marathon of Sport days and they will hopefully get involved with motioball events in the future,\u201d they added.\u201cIf anyone in the community is looking to donate to motionball in support of Special Olympics across the country they can contact us at bishopsmotion- ball@gmail.com.A tax receipt is given for all donations $20 or greater,\u201d

48 shots he faced as the surging Chicago Blackhawks blanked the struggling Montreal Canadiens 2-0 on Saturday night.Connor Murphy and Brendan Perlini scored for the Blackhawks (32-30-9), who have won five in a row.The Montreal-born Crawford earned his second shutout of the season and improved to 9-2-2 all-time versus the Canadiens.The 48-save performance was Crawford's career high in the regular season.Carey Price stopped 22-of-24 shots for the Canadiens (37-28-7), who have dropped four of their past five games to fall out of a playoff spot.Price has played in 18 of the last 19 games for Montreal.The Canadiens outshot the Black- hawks 48-24.With the loss, Montreal's playoff chances are dwindling in the Eastern Conference.The Canadiens are three points out of the second wild-card spot with 10 games remaining in the season - five of those are on the road.Saturday's contest was a battle of goaltenders, with Crawford getting the better of his counterpart Price.Crawford needed to be on his game all night.Midway through the second period, the Blackhawks goalie made back- to-back saves on Paul Byron and Andrew Shaw.Two minutes later, the Montreal native robbed Artturi Lehkonen in close with the glove.With nine minutes left in the game, Crawford stopped Joel Armia from pointblank range to preserve Chicago's two- goal lead.Byron came closest to beating the Hawks netminder when his second-pe- riod shot rang off the crossbar.Crawford has never lost in regulation time in his hometown (5-0-2).He's won his last five games at the Bell Centre.Murphy scored the game's first goal 3:04 into the second period.The de- fenceman took a pass from Dylan Strome in his skates, kicked the puck onto his stick, and beat Price from the slot high glove-side.Perlini made it 2-0 at 4:49 of the third period on a nice give-and-go with teammate Alex DeBrincat.The game featured Montreal's league- worst power play against Chicago's NHL- worst penalty kill.The Hawks came out on top, with the Canadiens going 0-for-4 with the man advantage.NOTES: The Canadiens celebrated Price's franchise record-setting 315th career victory in a pre-game ceremony.Montreal was coming off a tough 2-1 loss to

once or twice a week is really the most I can manage.Should I even bother?Dear Reader: In a word, yes.While it would be great if you enjoyed exercising enough to do more of it more often, intriguing new research suggests that when it comes to physical activity, every little bit helps.In fact, a study conducted on mice at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas found that just one workout kept the nerve cells in the brain that play a role in metabolism activated for up to two days.The takeaway of that research, which was published in December, is that these neurons respond to even a small amount of activity.The study focused on two types of neurons, which are part of a brain circuit found in humans as well as in mice.These two neuron types, when activated, have very different jobs.One plays a role in lowering glucose levels, muting appetite and revving up the metabolism.The other neuron type does pretty much the opposite \u2014 it ramps up appetite and puts the brakes on metabolism.Researchers found that a single vigorous workout amplified the activity of the first neuron type \u2014 that\u2019s the one that reduces appetite, lowers glucose and causes energy output to increase \u2014 for up to two days.At the same time, it suppressed the effects of the second neuron type \u2014 the one associated with an increase in hunger and a downshift in metabolic rate \u2014 for the same amount of time.While this is good news for people like you who prefer a more modest exercise schedule, the study also contained an incentive to be even more active: It turns out that these changes to neural activity lasted even longer in people who exercised more often.Speaking of frequency, would you be willing take on just 10 to 15 minutes of exercise per day?Although exercise classes and gym sessions are typically measured in hours, emerging research is showing that short bouts of exercise \u2014 as long as they are done daily \u2014 can yield rewards.A study conducted at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana found that sedentary women who walked briskly for just 72 minutes per week \u2014 that\u2019s about 10 minutes each day \u2014 had similar improvement to heart strength and general fitness as did the group that walked almost twice as long.Another study found that as long as it included at least 60 seconds of high-intensity exercise, a 10-minute workout yielded similar benefits to 45 minutes of steady jogging.And for those who take the long view, numerous studies have associated regular exercise with a lower risk of early death.When it comes to building on your current level of activity, are there any sports or games you enjoyed in the past and would consider doing again?It doesn\u2019t have to be the same thing every day.Even a 10-minute game of tag with your kids a few times a week will get you moving.Think creatively, and we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll land on a solution.And in the meantime,

sanitizer.Clear, gel-based hand sanitizers are loaded with alcohol, which helps lift the stain from the fibers of clothes.Saturating the stain makes it easy for the stain to be removed when washed.Just allow the hand sanitizer to penetrate for at least 10 minutes before washing. MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2019 Dear Annie: My sister \u201cKaty\u201d is 10 years older than I and has never married or had children.She was a devoted and loving auntie to my kids when they were young, but they have grown up and don\u2019t hang with her much anymore.She and I have grown apart, as well, in part because of my own devotion to my family and husband but also because of our roller coaster relationship.Every year, she gets angry with me for some reason.We don\u2019t talk for a bit, and then I reach out to her via email or talk to her face-to-face.Often, I will apologize just to get the conversation going.She will never admit that she has been out of line, nor will she ever apologize.My mom says she will never change.Am I doomed to ride this roller coaster for the rest of my life?What can I do to change how we get along?\u2014 Feeling Queasy in Vermont Dear Feeling Queasy: No one can force you onto a roller coaster ride without your consent (as any daredevil friend of a fraidy-cat at the amusement park could tell you).You are not doomed to keep joining your sister on these emotional loop-the-loops.The following are my tips for keeping steady ground when dealing with your sister.1) This may not be about anything you can change.Accept that.It\u2019s the first step toward serenity.2) Stop apologizing when you don\u2019t mean it.When you acquiesce to her bullying behavior, you indulge the dysfunction.3) That said, try to take an unflinching look within and see whether you have any prejudices about your sister and her life choices.I\u2019m not saying you do, but it\u2019s worth doing a little self-examination, and if any such thoughts show up, try to scrutinize and be aware of them.4) Be honest and open with your sister.Tell her more or less what you\u2019ve told me \u2014 that you\u2019d like to have a better relationship with her and that you regret all the fighting that seems to come up between you.But also, set some healthy boundaries.Being open doesn\u2019t mean subjecting yourself to cruelty.If she gets nasty, tell her you love her and are ready to talk when she\u2019s ready to do so in a respectful manner.Dear Annie: Obviously, everyone knows that drinking alcohol can cause a hangover.But can marijuana have a similar effect?I used some the other day and felt terrible the day after.I\u2019ve never heard anyone talk about feeling yucky the day after using marijuana, but I sure did.I have to assume that because I\u2019ve used marijuana only a handful of times, this out-of-the-ordinary mood swing was related.The two unusual things paired together can\u2019t be a coincidence, right?\u2014 Setback From Smoking Dear Setback: To answer your question generally, two unusual things paired together absolutely can be a coincidence.\u201cCorrelation does not imply causation,\u201d as they say in data science.On to the rest of your question.I\u2019m going to assume you\u2019re writing from one of the states in which recreational marijuana use is now legal.The jury is still out on whether marijuana use can cause a hangover, it seems.Scientific studies on the effects of marijuana have been limited because of its illegality.From what I found in researching your question, there are plenty of anecdotal accounts of brain fog and headaches the day after marijuana use.My advice is to listen to your body.If something makes you feel ill, discontinue use of it.Dear Annie: You always give thoughtful advice, and I would appreciate your opinion.My husband of 20 years, \u201cEarl,\u201d can be friendly when he wants to be.It\u2019s the second marriage for each of us.We usually are very compatible, but once in a while, I feel verbally abused.For example, his insurance company has an annual dinner, which includes good food and door prizes.There have been a couple of years when we were with people he knew, and I enjoyed joining in the conversations.At the dinner two years ago, the man seated on the other side of Earl tried to converse with both of us, while Earl stared straight ahead.After a while, I felt uncomfortable talking with this man across Earl as though he were invisible.Other people joined our table, and more conversations took place during the evening, but Earl was like a concrete statue.As we got up to leave, I said goodbye and said it was nice to meet them.Earl stood behind me and stated sarcastically (and not quietly), \u201cIf you want to stay and visit, I could come back later.\u201d I asked him last year not to buy tickets, and he didn\u2019t, but he just came home with tickets for this year\u2019s dinner, and I reminded him that I said I would never attend one again.A tirade resulted.He says I hold a grudge and I keep track of occasions he doesn\u2019t even remember.He also says I am never happy unless I\u2019m complaining about him.Similar statements have embarrassed me through the years.I may see a neighbor from long ago and visit for only a couple of minutes.He could walk over and get introduced, but he stands near the exit or gets in the car, glaring at me, and then announces that maybe the neighbor could drive me home if I\u2019m not ready yet.Or when we\u2019re just out and about and people are friendly, I sometimes strike up a conversation.He may say, \u201cMaybe you\u2019d like to spend the day with them.\u201d Over and over, these sarcastic statements not only embarrass me but hurt me.Today I tried to make him understand, but it ended with him telling me to move out.Am I too sensitive, or is he too callous?\u2014 A Fly in the Ointment Dear Fly in the Ointment: No, you are not being too sensitive, and to call your husband callous would, in a sense, be too generous.\u201cCallous\u201d implies indifference more than it does malice.The latter is more the case with your husband.When he accuses you of holding grudges and keeping score, he\u2019s really describing himself.He is behaving in a vindictive, petulant and, yes, verbally abusive manner.When he escalates any conflict (or at least any conflict in which you stand up for yourself) to \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just move out?\u201d he is holding the relationship hostage.This manipulation tactic makes it virtually impossible for you to have any sort of constructive conversation about the relationship.This is not sustainable.Because your husband seems far from ready to admit this to you or even to himself, it\u2019s time to enlist the aid of an objective third party.Tell your husband you\u2019d like to go to marriage counseling.It\u2019s the best hope for improving the health of your relationship.Please let me know how it goes; I\u2019d love to hear back from you.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!

pearled farro can be used, but the texture may be softer.Do not use quick-cooking or pre- steamed farro (read the ingredient list on the package to determine this) in this recipe.The cooking time for farro can vary greatly among different brands, so we recommend beginning to check for doneness after 10 minutes.WARM FARRO WITH MUSHROOMS AND THYME Servings: 6 Start to finish: 1 hour 1 1/2 cups whole farro Salt and pepper 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and chopped coarse 1 shallot, minced 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried 3 tablespoons dry sherry 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley 1 1/2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, plus extra for seasoning Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot.Add farro and 1 teaspoon salt and cook until grains are tender with slight chew, 15 to 30 minutes.Drain farro, return to now-empty pot, and cover to keep warm.Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12 inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering.Add mushrooms, shallot, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until moisture has evaporated and vegetables start to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.Stir in sherry, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until skillet is almost dry.Add farro and remaining 1 tablespoon oil and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.Off heat, stir in parsley and vinegar.Season with pepper and extra vinegar to taste and serve.Nutrition information per serving: 311 calories;
