Page 4 Richmond to host provincial 4-H rally By Claudia Villemaire Every year the Quebec 4-H Club presents a provincial rally, giving clubs scattered across the province the challenge of preparing a three-day weekend of activities and competitions for members between the ages of six years and 25.\"We're expecting 100 participants this year, said Devin Keenan, chairman of the organizing committee.Not only a proud member of the Richmond 4-H Club along with his brothers and sister, Keenan is continuing his post-graduate studies at Macdonald College with agriculture, and more specifically dairy farming as his determined goal.This week, we talked about organizing and preparing for this event which covers just about any type of food production and life skill one could imagine.\"We'll have dairy and beef animals, horses, sheep, goats, chickens and a variety of life skills presented by members of the different clubs present,\" he explained.Competitions and judging begin in earnest Friday morning and continue until supper time Saturday.Hannah Frost with Gracie and Devin Keenan with Aly (pronounced Allee).Devin takes time from his reponsibilities as chairperson of the organizing committe and Frost, looking after the life skills section, will also find the time to compete.CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE Fever Fest hotter than ever By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record John Maysenhoelder and Jody Good- sell\u2019s backyard party turned fundraiser was a great success over the weekend despite scalding heat.The 13th edition of Fever Fest was able to raise approximately $2,100 to the Pet Connection Lennoxville and the Société Alzheimer de l\u2019Estrie.Over 400 people made their way to the Glenday Road\u2019s Maysen Manor to watch a dozen bands perform on Saturday and Sunday, July 20 and 21.Rock and roll, jazz, soul and country music were on the menu for the weekend.\u201cWe\u2019ve been able to raise more money than the previous years which is great.I think that having Domino\u2019s Pizza as one of our food options on Saturday helped because since it kept the price down, people were more ready to donate,\u201d explained Maysenhoelder.\u201cIt\u2019s a huge weekend for us.Everyone had a great big smile on their face and left the place clean,\u201d he recalled.\u201cI can\u2019t wait for next year, and all the bands that played this weekend expressed interest to play next year again.It was incredible.\u201d Maysenhoelder highlighted his special guest Mick Hall\u2019s performance.\u201cHe is a legend.He was incredible on Sunday night.He hadn\u2019t played live or even really been in the Townships for the past 10 to 15 years, so we were so fortunate to have him.His voice and his songwriting skills are second to none.I think he should be an international rockstar.We were all blown away.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re particularly glad we didn\u2019t get rained on,\u201d he added, mentioning that despite a drizzle on Sunday morning, all the equipment was safe and sound under a tent in the yard.\u201cHere\u2019s a funny story.My band CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 5 Ben by Daniel Shelton Page 2 T uesday , July 23, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Weather TODAY: 60% CHANCE OF SHOWERS HIGH OF 23 LOW OF 12 WEDNESDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF 23 LOW OF 11 THURSDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF 25 LOW OF 11 FRIDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF 28 LOW OF 12 SATURDAY: SUNNY HIGH OF 28 LOW OF 14 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 $125.00 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.The Vagina Monologues at Theatre Lac-Brome: I was there in the room \u2018I was there in the room.' That is the title of the monologue chosen by director Emma Stevens to close last weekend's trio of performances of The Vagina Monologues, written by Eve Ensler.The piece tells the story of Ensler's presence in the room at the birth of her granddaughter.On stage this depiction of what it was to bear witness to this child's arrival in the world was read by Sharman Yarnell- Massey.In the telling, I was taken back almost nineteen years, to the birth of my godson, that I witnessed.The changes in her daughter-in-law's body were exactly what I imagined, even right down to holding one of her legs to help her through the final pushes - I did the same for my friend Tracey as Tyler came into the world.I remembered the births of my own sons.'I was there in the room' is probably how I will remember my experience helping with this production.It was how I hoped my involvement would feel - more peripheral, more assistance, more stepping up and then stepping back.There is so much to be said for not being centre stage.I was listed as an assistant to the director, Emma Stevens, one of the theatre's founders.That was what felt like the right way to explain it.There is a freedom for ourselves when we support others.There is a relief for them when little things are taken care of.Pulling off a creative project is definitely like giving birth - there are moments that it feels like you'll never get there, that it will not survive, that you can't do it, that something is missing, that something just won't click and it's bothersome beyond belief.Also that it has powerfully taken over your life and you have to let it breathe.Taking on The Vagina Monologues was a brave move, or at least it felt that way to me.I wasn't uncomfortable with the subject matter.I wasn't really comfortable some of the time either, but that had more to do with actually allowing the content to be raw, or upsetting, or challenging to digest at times - it's supposed to be.Emma Stevens was the midwife, I was a sort of assistant, a gopher/go-for, and happy to be one.Ranee Lee, Sharman Yarnell-Massey, Eleanor Noble and Darleen Bell birthed the stories, the characters, the accents and the gestures behind the character infused into the pieces they shared.Emerging to the sounds of Aretha Franklin's Respect, the actors were accompanied on stage by Emma Stevens, who read a piece written by Eve Ensler, on the experience of compiling the stories that became The Vagina Monologues.Hundreds of women who told their stories that Ensler crafted into her series of work.The quartet of actors stood at four lecterns, pausing at times on stools positioned further back on the stage while they took in the pieces read by their cohorts.I'll admit to being nervous about how the audience would react.I felt protective of all of those involved.'I was there in the room.' I was there in the rehearsals, witnessed the cues and the rehashings, the moments that a piece hung above the cutting room floor, saved at the last minute one more try.I watched lights adjusted and the results of on-stage artwork re-positioned.I saw the wardrobe trials and selections.I helped with hairstyling and looked on as the actors prepared themselves (including hair and make-up and occasionally taking to the stage by themselves for a few minutes just to practice execution prior to the show itself).I filled water bottles.I was present for the gathering circle prior to showtime and called out the time, clocking progress towards taking to the stage.I cried every time Darleen Bell performed 'My Vagina Was A Village' - a challenging piece about the rape of women during the war in Bosnia and Kosovo in the mid-90's.I turned pages at intermission so that the return to the stage would run smoothly.I was thrilled when the beats of 'Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves' by Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox started, indicating the end of the show, preceding the bows, and the folks on their feet every night, applauding and in some kind of awe.That's a lot of 'I' statements, and that feels strange.Because while I tell you the story of moments related to me, it was like being there and not being there, about being there, but not being me, and that is part of the importance, grace and privilege of assisting.What a gift it is to be allowed to help bring something to life.A person.A play.A community.An experience.For a week these women (including Olivia, responsible at the theatre, and several very helpful fellows, Richard, Danny, Bruce, John and volunteers like Roger to name a few) were a community, they were a force, a unit, separate and supportive, focused on the creation of what truly felt like a living thing.The thing had a pulse in rehearsal and came to life on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and is definitely still living in the minds of those who attended.That's what happens when you allow yourself to go to that place that tells a story that challenges not just your comfort zones, but your worldview, your own truth, and requires contemplation.Now that that creative birthing community has moved on into their own lives, the experience lives on, of a very warm week of summer of 2019, when stories were told on this Townships stage, of the most intimate female body part and where it has taken some people.We were there in the room.Dishpan Hands Sheil a Quinn PHOTO CREDIT: NATHALIE RIVARD Pictured: Danny McAuley, who helped with lights and other stage work, Ranee Lee, Eleanor Noble, (director) Emma Stevens, Sharman Yarnell-Massey, Darleen Bell, me, John Cameron (sound) and Olivia Ens (of Theatre Lac-Brome).Ranee, Eleanor, Sharman and Darleen were on stage! T uesday , July 23 , 2019 Page 3 When something happens that requires medical intervention, one lifeguard goes straight to the victim and the others work to clear the pool.LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Why is the pool closed?A breakdown of what can close your local swimming hole By Gordon Lambie Despite the fact that the City of Sherbrooke extended the hours of its public pools over the weekend to give residents more access to cool water during the oppressive heat, the municipal pools at the Saint-Alphonse- de-Ligouri and Alfred-Élie-Dufresne Parks were closed for the day on Saturday.According to François Salvail, Recreation Coordinator with Sherbrooke\u2019s Division of Sports and Events, the decision to close the pool was unfortunate but necessary after staff found evidence of liquid fecal matter on the life jackets just before closing Friday evening.\u201cIt was unfortunate, because with organic, liquid fecal matter we have to close the pool for 24 hours,\u201d Salvail said, explaining that the timeline has to do with decontamination and is mandated by the Regulation respecting safety in public baths, which is a part of Quebec\u2019s Building Act.\u201cThere are two procedures,\u201d the coordinator said, explaining that the law requires a closure of 30-40 minutes for \u201coral organic matter\u201d (vomit) or \u201csolid fecal matter\u201d to give time for the water and tools used to remove the contamination to be cleaned, but that \u201cliquid fecal matter\u201d requires a closure of 24 hours in order for the entire space to be cleaned.\u201cWas there any in the pool, in the changing rooms or the showers?We don\u2019t have any choice but to sterilize it all,\u201d Salvail said.Outside of \u201corganic materials\u201d there are a few other situations that can cause a pool closure.\u201cEvery time we have a (first-aid) intervention, we evacuate the pool because we can no longer supervise if the lifeguards are with the victim,\u201d the coordinator said.\u201cKeeping people in the water would increase the risk.\u201d When something happens that requires medical intervention, one lifeguard goes straight to the victim and the others work to clear the pool.After that, the evacuation lasts as long as it takes to get the victim the help he or she needs and fill out an incident report.This delay can last longer, depending on the nature of the accident.\u201cWhat you have to think about, as well, is that in more serious situations there can still be post-traumatic stress for the lifeguards, despite all their training,\u201d Salvail said.\u201cIf they are not able to continue working, we have to call in a replacement.\u201d Everything is done systematically, the coordinator explained, but as a result there are often times when people outside the situation think they see nothing happening when, in fact, the lifeguards are doing exactly what they are supposed to do.The other two things that can close a pool are mechanical issues, which Sal- vail pointed out can always happen and are hard to predict, and thunderstorms.\u201cLike any residential pool, we open the pool and hope it will work through the summer, but if something breaks it breaks and we have to deal with that.\u201d He said, going on to say that the rule with thunder and lightning is to wait thirty minutes after the last roll of thunder.Asked about the frequency of closures, Salvail said that the city sees approximately 15 \u201corganic material\u201d related closures a year.\u201cWe aim for as few as possible,\u201d he said, encouraging people to go to the bathroom before swimming, as much as possible, and consider how well potty trained their children are.He also emphasized that swim diapers are not a magic solution and said parents need to remember to check them regularly.\u201cIt holds everything in, but it is important to check often,\u201d he said.\u201cEvery swimmer suffers when there is an organic material incident.\u201d The City of Sherbrooke employs 70 lifeguards at its 12 municipal pools and two public beaches.Information about whether a pool or beach is open or closed is available online through an interactive map that can be accessed at https://cartes.ville.sherbrooke.qc.ca/mes- loisirsestivaux/.GORDON LAMBIE CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 Hannah Frost, in charge of the Life Skills section, described some of the variety she expects to see presented.\"We will have public speaking contests, scrap booking, arts and crafts and even cooking,\" she described, \"and everything will be set up on display too.\" Thursday evening, the rally begins with an official opening ceremony.\"We are especially privileged this year,\" Keenan announced proudly.\"Our Federal Minister of Agriculture will make and official visit to open this rally and believe me we've been working hard to make everything prefect for this special guest.We are very proud of our club here and we'd like to prove to her how important we think the organization is to our young people.\" Of course, rallies are famous for their fun and games, but the Farmers Olympics, which begin after the opening ceremony, are kept secret until the right moment.The games are prepared by parents and volunteers who dream up interesting challenges for the participants.Teams are chosen by drawing numbers from a hat, allowing visiting teams and locals get to know each other.One can only imagine what tricks parents and volunteers, themselves in may cases veterans of 4-H activities and rallys themselves, will dream up.\"I think it's important we emphasize this rally is open to the public and we always wish more folks would stop by.Watching these young people compete in a class of 'fitting', (that's preparing their chosen animal for competition), which probably means washing, scrubbing, clipping, paying attention to the 'top line', ears and brisket, making sure hooves are properly trimmed and the switch at the end of the tail carefully combed.Then, showtimes means donning 'show whites', for dairy calves, breed colors for the beef breeds, western or English style for horses and simply in their best bib and tucker for sheep, goats and chickens.\"We are very grateful to the community and our members who have raised over $6,000.We calculate it costs a minimum of $75 per participant, which is not terribly expensive for a total of eight meals for well over 100 young people, parents and other folk.Quebec 4-H organization covers a large part of the cost but special thanks must go to volunteers and donors.Without their help we couldn't possibly undertake such a large event.And besides that, we know now we'll be hosting the 2020 rally next year too,\" Keenan emphasized.The opening ceremonies begin at 7p.m.Thursday with the Farmers Olympics right after.Friday and Saturday, judging begins at 8 a.m.and trophies and awards are presented at the banquet Saturday evening.\"Every day, meals are themed,\" Keenan added.\"We will have Mexican and Italian dishes on the menu, among others.\" 4-H rally Page 4 T uesday , July 23, 2019 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record We don't know you! By Linda Knight Seccaspina Ihave to admit my life has flourished through creativity and I have never taken the word \u201cno\u201d for an answer.In fact, I have never listened to anyone who tried to talk me out of my views on life, fashion, and being yourself.At age 15.5 I marched into the Vice Principal\u2019s office who doubled as a guidance counsellor at Cowansville High School and told him I would not be returning to school the next year.I also asked for my $10 dollar school book deposit back.I can still remember to this day where his desk was positioned in the room, and the look on his face that was partially hidden by his oversized spectacles.In a crisp but curt tone he scolded me.\u201cMy dear Miss Knight, what golden path have you chosen for yourself?\u201d \u201cI am going to be a fashion designer Sir,\u201d I said emphatically.He got out of chair and perched himself on the edge of my chair and asked me loudly if I was jesting.Jesting?Jesting?Do I look like a person who jests?I quickly realized had I told him I had gotten pregnant by the Keebler Elves it would have gone over better.He continued in a loud monotonous drone telling me young ladies became either nurses or teachers.The elderly gentleman suggested that maybe I look into the world of home economics if \u201cI enjoyed sewing\u201d.With that I stood up and again asked him to cut me a cheque for $10.00.With my completed Grade 9 education, a shake of his hand, and $10.00 the world was now my oyster and no one would ever criticize the way I dressed again.Well, ladies and gentlemen, we all know how that went.I was a fashion designer for decades, and through the years there has not been a day that people have not said something about my clothing style.My sons are conservative and I respect that, and they generally close their eyes to my daily attire.Never once has one word been said\u2013 until last night.Son number 1 invited me to a Jerry Seinfeld concert and immediately the conversation went like this: \u201cForgot to tell you Mum\u2026.\u201d \u201cThese tickets are front row, right in front of his microphone so please wear something nice! Please don\u2019t wear something crazy, because you will be a target of this comedian.If that happens Mum\u2013 we don\u2019t know you!\u201d I sat there kind of dumbfounded and asked what I should wear to which he retorted: \u201cI am just worried about you showing up appearing to be a peacock or something!\u201d With that I shook my head\u2013 my son was sending me a dress code.Who really birthed my children I wondered?They had to have come from another mother! With that, there was a 5 minute si- lence- and he laughed and said,\u201dJust kidding Mum!\u201d They say when you teach your son, you are in essence of also teaching your son\u2019s son.Let\u2019s hope my grandson and granddaughters have a bit of craziness like their Grandmother \u2014 and to my sons: You may be old enough to roll your eyes about what your mother wears and that\u2019s fine, but remember it\u2019s your fault she pees and sneezes at the same time now.Love and sacrifice my boys, love and sacrifice, with a bit of fashion thrown in! \"Just another day and another outfit in Linda's Senior Citizen life\" The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com T uesday , July 23, 2019 Page 5 UdeS researchers in search of safer painkiller alternatives By Emilie Hackett Special to the Record Researchers at the University of Sherbrooke (UdeS) have been working hard over the last 13 years to understand the function of opioids to find safer alternatives for painkillers.From January 2016 to June 2018, over 9,000 deaths linked to an opioid overdose were recorded in Canada alone.The Record spoke with Louis Gendron, professor and head of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at UdeS, to learn more about the research conducted at the CHUS Research Centre.\u201cMy laboratory is generally interested in opioids and the treatment of pain, with morphine as the key player.Morphine is the strongest painkiller out there, but its regular use also has several side effects, such as nausea and constipation,\u201d explained the professor, who has been teaching and researching the topic at UdeS since 2006.\u201cStronger doses can cause problems on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.Like all medication, it can cause unwanted potential of abuse and addiction, which makes it a powerful street drug.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re trying to find new molecules in the opioid family.Apart from antibiotics that target bacteria and other external components of the human organism, medication targets proteins, also known as receptors, and enzymes that we have in our body, which are intrinsic to the functioning of our body.Opioids target receptors that control the body\u2019s response to pain,\u201d added Gendron.\u201cThere are many different types of proteins, including three main types of receptors, called mu, delta, and kappa.Mu receptors are responsible for the effects caused by morphine, but also its unwanted side effects,\u201d he said.\u201cThe kappa receptor has been found to create hallucinations when activated.However, delta receptors are not targeted by any clinical medication.We\u2019ve been looking at the way delta receptors react to morphine molecules to understand more about how they function.We\u2019ve noticed that there are little to no side effects when morphine targets delta receptors.\u201d This discovery could lead to a whole new range of painkillers that do not cause negative side effects.\u201cWe haven\u2019t reached a point where anything is market-ready, of course, but our research is progressing,\u201d he admitted.\u201cThe molecules we\u2019ve found that work on delta receptors are also found to have positive effects, such as reducing anxiety and depression, disorders that are all too common for those living with chronic pain.\u201d Gendron mentioned that it is a long- term project and it will not be finalized overnight.\u201cWe have been working in this fundamental research laboratory for 13 years.We don\u2019t test on patients or active beings.We research the basics of science, such as the structure, the activity, the relations, the chemistry, and the actions of molecules and proteins,\u201d he described.\u201cOpioids and receptors are like keys and a lock.You have to find the right key to open the lock, just like we have to find the right molecule to activate the right receptor.\u201d Gendron and his team have been working with many collaborators and have received funding for over 10 years from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.\u201cWe have many collaborators around the world, such as in the United States, Canada, Belgium, France, and Russia.They provide complimentary expertise,\u201d he said.\u201cWe\u2019re not here to duplicate our interests, because it\u2019s not a competition.Every partnering laboratory provides different levels of skill and knowledge.Our lab here at the CHUS is led by master\u2019s and postdoctoral students, and we also have many Bishop\u2019s students who come to intern with us every year.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ve recently submitted a publication to a scientific journal, because we\u2019ve found that the structure of certain molecules, which target the delta receptor, could help inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain.Opioids aren\u2019t traditionally efficient for nerve hypersensitivity, which leads to high doses of morphine.Same goes for cancer pain,\u201d he highlighted.\u201cVery high opioid doses are given to cancer patients in palliative care which often leads to reduced consciousness.These new molecules could help reduce the doses of morphine and will maintain lucidity.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ve also observed that this new molecule could help reduce the growth of morphine tolerance.This allows healthcare providers to give out a constant dose of opioids for longer.Patients often become acclimated to morphine, which leads to the constant augmentation of doses, and therefore loss of lucidity,\u201d explained the professor.\u201cWe are a research laboratory that is interested in the development of painkillers of the future, which means we need to keep evolving.The legalisation of cannabis is also forcing us to look into that avenue as well.It has many benefits as a common street drug, but there is a severe lack of research on the topic.It is a medicinal, plant-based drug that helps pain and we\u2019re interested in what it can help treat,\u201d posited Gendron.Gendron studied at UdeS for his bachelor\u2019s degree, his master\u2019s degree and his PhD in physiology.He then went to McGill University for his postdoctoral studies in a neuroscience laboratory in 2003.In 2005, he travelled to Seattle at Washington University to work in a specialized laboratory that studied drug addiction and the impact of prolonged administration of substances such as opioids that activate delta receptors.He is now the director of the Quebec Pain Research Network.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 CMON FM the last band to play on Sunday and also played twice before on Saturday due to a cancellation.Our singer Mike started going after singing for four and a half hours, so we took the executive decision to cut our performance short and play one last big song, our rendition of Jimi Hendrix\u2019s Voodoo Child,\u201d said Maysenhoelder.\u201cWe then began packing everything up, and as soon as we were done, 40 minutes later, the torrential downpour fell on us.We were lucky enough to have no damage.\u201d \u201cFever Fest is about the voices and faces you haven\u2019t heard or seen in a long time.I\u2019m at a loss for who to invite next year as a special

decent live recording.These were all high caliber bands so I think it will be great.\u201d PHOTO COURTESY LOUIS GENDRON Louis Gendron has been a researcher at the CHUS for 13 years and hopes to one day market a safe painkiller similar to morphine that would have little to no negative side effects.PHOTOS COURTESY Special guest Mick Hall is seen here with Jeff Coates at the 2019 edition of Fever Fest.Fever Fest By David Suzuki Media and politicians often regard environmentalists as a special interest group with political priorities served by \u201cgreen\u201d parties.If a Green politician isn\u2019t present or allowed to participate in a public debate, journalists tend to eschew environmental questions, considering them the purview of the absent party.It\u2019s absurd to think an issue like climate change belongs to one party.It should be the highest priority for every politician and candidate and should receive daily media attention.All parties should have policies to protect life-sustaining air, water, soil and biodiversity and to encourage renewable energy.Those of us who prioritize these factors are not like opera, rodeo or car- racing buffs, yet that\u2019s how we\u2019re often perceived.In November 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a special report, a gauntlet thrown to challenge all humanity.If we don\u2019t reduce fossil fuel use by almost half by 2030 and 100 per cent by mid- century, climate chaos could destroy the underpinnings of civilization, including food and agriculture, coastal communities, ocean productivity and the global economy.This is not a Green issue; it\u2019s an urgent challenge confronting all people.We can\u2019t ignore it as we head toward a federal election on October 21.Global warming affects everything and everyone.United Nations groups dealing with immigrants and refugees worldwide can\u2019t cope with the masses of people leaving their homelands.As ocean levels rise and flood heavily populated areas; heat waves, drought and weakening monsoons destroy agriculture; pest outbreaks ravage forests; and changing ocean currents and temperatures transform marine ecosystems, tens of millions of people will be forced to seek liveable asylum.Climate change and its solutions must be addressed by all those concerned about immigration and refugees.The repercussions for Oxfam, Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International and so many other organizations will amplify in coming years.For years, medical professionals and health organizations have warned that climate change will exacerbate consequences such as cancer, heart disease, respiratory problems and spread of illnesses like Lyme disease, malaria, Zika and dengue.A recent report in The Lancet points to the urgent health consequences of climate change.In Canada, where temperatures are rising at twice the global average rate, we\u2019re already experiencing impacts: shorter outdoor hockey and skiing seasons; forest infestations of pests like the mountain pine beetle; vanishing glaciers that feed watersheds; loss of Arctic sea ice on which animals like seals and polar bears depend; extinction of populations of temperature-sensitive salmon like sockeye; increasing ocean acidity that inhibits shellfish growth; destruction of park ecosystems; explosive growth in rat and poison ivy populations; extended prairie droughts; deaths from heat stroke; huge fires; massive floods\u2026 Canada\u2019s recently revised food guide acknowledges climate impacts.In a radical departure from the meat- and dairy- dominated guides of the past, it indicates that a primarily plant-based diet is not only better for our health but reduces the risk of climate change.Global warming affects almost everything in our lives and the biosphere.It\u2019s not a special interest touted by enviros or the Green Party.It\u2019s a crisis for all humanity.The bar set by the IPCC report is challenging, made worse in Canada by almost a decade under a government that didn\u2019t prioritize climate change.If we accept the goal of a 45 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, we have to start on it immediately and on an enormous scale.This is a challenge for us all and must be the highest priority for every party.We shouldn\u2019t let any candidate for office avoid discussing climate risks.The U.S.response to the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not weakened by partisan bickering or debate over how serious the consequences would be, how much could be afforded or how the response would affect the economy.The country was united in its resolve to win the war.That\u2019s how we have to respond to the greatest threat to survival humankind has faced.Once the challenge is seized, opportunities will open up as we transform society\u2019s energy foundation.As U.S.author and business consultant James Womack said, \u201cCommitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision and gives us the right stuff to turn our dreams into reality.\u201d It\u2019s time to dream big.David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.Learn

promises return in 2020 The Canadian Press The Montreal World Film Festival will not be held this year.Serge Losique, the chairman and founder of the event, says in a brief statement the festival is taking a year off to prepare for the 2020 edition.He says no films had been selected for this year's festival.The statement says Losique is suffering from extreme fatigue and, on his doctor's advice, won't give any interviews.Founded in 1977, the festival has been held yearly in August.But for years, it has been under financial pressure after losing sponsors as well as prestige in the international film community.Last year, the festival was threatened after the Quebec government targeted it for not paying its taxes.Follow The Sherbrooke Record on Facebook and Twitter!

Canadian teen Fernandez wins ?rst pro singles title at Gatineau Challenger The Canadian Press Montreal teenager Leylah Annie Fernandez won her first professional singles title on Sunday, beating fellow Canadian Carson Brans- tine 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the Gatineau National Bank Challenger.It was the first time in the history of the $25,000 ITF tournament that two Canadian women were facing each other for the title.The 16-year-old Fernandez rallied from a set down to beat the 18-year-old Branstine in just under two hours, becoming the second player to capture both the singles and doubles titles in Gatineau after Bianca Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont., did it in 2016.It was the second time Fernandez had faced Branstine in her career.Branstine won the last match, a Grade 2 junior tournament in Montreal in 2015.Branstine experienced some difficulties on court and had to call for the trainer in the second set.\u201cIt was a tough match today,'' Fernandez said.``I've known Carson for a long time and we are good friends.Of course I am happy with the win, but I am also very happy for Carson because she had a great week.\u201cI am satisfied with the way I played this week.You learn something from every match, no matter a win or a loss, and I feel like I am leaving Gatineau with more experience which will hopefully help me in the future.'' In the men's final, Jason Kubler of Australia won his first title of the year, beating Enzo Couacaud of France 6-4, 6- 4.Canadian swimmer Maggie MacNeil swims to world gold The Associated Press Maggie MacNeil exceeded her expectations at the world aquatics championships.And then some.The 19-year-old from London, Ont., competing on her first senior national team, stunned many observers by winning the women's 100 metre butterfly Monday.MacNeil also earned Canada its first gold medal of the competition and surprised herself along the way.\u201cDefinitely not,'' MacNeil said when asked if she saw the accomplishment coming.\u201cI was hoping to get to a semifinal and maybe make a final.\u201cI felt good in warmups but emotionally I've never been so nervous (before final).'' MacNeil set a Canadian record with a time of 55.83 seconds, 0.39 seconds ahead of reigning Olympic champion and world-record holder Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden.Emma McKeon of Australia was third.Sjostrom had won the title four times.Sjostrom took it out strong, dipping under her world-record pace on the first lap, while MacNeil was in fifth.But Mac- Neil roared back with the fastest closing lap _ 29.06 _ of the eight-woman final and touched first.Even after touching the wall, MacNeil still wasn't aware she'd won the race.\u201cI saw Sarah in my periphery,'' she said.\u201cI didn't have the greatest touch but at that point all I was hoping for was to get a medal for Canada.\u201cIt (winning feeling) is pretty indescribable.'' After receiving their medals, the three women gathered on the top podium spot and raised their palms to the crowd, displaying a message to ailing 19-year-old Japanese swimmer Rikako Ikee.\u201cRikako never give up'' it read, with hearts decorating their palms.Sjostrom came up with the idea.Ikee announced in February that she has leukemia.She was the world junior champion in the 100 fly and had the fastest time in the world last year.She is aiming to return in time to compete in the Tokyo Olympics.\u201cWe're hoping this will show that we're supporting her and we're here if she needs anything,'' said MacNeil.Canada captured a second medal later Monday when U.S-Canadian dual citizen Sydney Pickrem took bronze in the women's 200-metre individual medley behind Hungarian star Katinka Hosszu and Ye Shiwen of China.MacNeil has one more individual event to compete in _ the women's 50- metre butterfly.But she figures that with Monday's win, she created more work for herself on Canada's relay squads.\u201cBut that's a good thing,'' she said with a chuckle.The 100-metre butterfly victory also gives MacNeil the luxury of being able to think about next year's Tokyo Olympics more seriously.While the gold medal hasn't guaranteed MacNeil an Olympic berth, it's generally regarded as the first step towards selection, and her time can stand against those posted at the Olympic trials.And the same would apply for Pick- rem.\u201cIt does boost my confidence going into the Olympics,'' MacNeil said.In the meantime, MacNeil's first order of business is coming to grips with her stunning victory.\u201cI don't imagine getting much sleep,'' she said.\u201cNo, it hasn't sunk in and I'm not sure it will even after the meet.'' Meanwhile, Kylie Masse of LaSalle, Ont., and Taylor Ruck of Kelowna, B.C., advanced to the final of the women's 100 metre backstroke.Masse, the reigning world champ, won her semifinal.It was MacNeil's second medal in as many days.The University of Michigan student teamed with fellow teenagers Ruck, Penny Oleksiak and Kayla Sanchez to win bronze in the 4x100 metre freestyle relay on Sunday.Canada now has one gold, two silver and three bronze medals at the two- week long event, featuring swimming, artistic swimming, diving and water polo.Hosszu extended her dominance in the women's 200 individual medley, claiming her record fourth title.That's the same number of times she's won the 400 IM.\u201cIt might seem just another gold medal but for me it's really special to be here and be able to win,'' said Hosszu, who last year filed for divorce from her husband and training partner.\u201cIt's been a tough journey.'' Nicknamed \u201cThe Iron Lady'' for her relentless workload, Hosszu won in two minutes 7.53 seconds.Elsewhere, Adam Peaty became the first man to win a third 100-metre breaststroke title at the world swimming championships and Katinka Hosszu of Hungary also added more gold to her collection.Peaty claimed the title in 57.14 seconds, a night after he became the first man to break 57 seconds in the semifinals.The British swimmer was under his own world-record pace at the turn before coming home a full body-length in front and 1.32 seconds ahead of teammate James Wilby.In the semis, Peaty was timed in 56.88.He's also the current Olympic champion.\u201cThat'll fuel me for next year because I know how bad I want to clear 56 even faster now,'' Peaty said.\u201cI know exactly how to do it but I've obviously run out of opportunities here.'' Wilby touched in 58.46.Yan Zibei of China was third in 58.63.The United States won its first-ever gold in the men's 50 fly, a non-Olympic event.Caeleb Dressel's time of 22.35 set a championship record and earned him a ninth career world title.China's Sun Yang was back in the pool for the 200 freestyle semifinals a night after winning the 400 free.He qualified second-fastest behind Clyde Lewis of Australia.The final is Tuesday night.Earlier Monday, FINA's executive board met in Gwangju to discuss Mack Horton's podium protest against Sun and decided to send a warning letter to Swimming Australia and to Horton.\u201cWhile FINA respects the principle of freedom of speech, it has to be conducted in the right context,'' the board said in a statement.Horton refused to take his spot on the medals stand or shake Sun's hand after finishing second to the Chinese star in the 400 free.The Aussie swimmer is angry that Sun, who served a three- month doping suspension in 2014, is being allowed to compete in Gwangju before he faces a Court of Arbitration for Sport hearing in September that could potentially end his career.Canada's Margaret MacNeil reacts after winning the women's

Elizabeth Ko, M.D.Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the first column of high summer.You\u2019ve kept our inbox full, so we\u2019ll dive right in.\u2014 A recent column about vitamin D prompted a reader to ask this follow-up question: \u201cIt is my understanding \u2014 via a doctor \u2014 that when you reach 65 to 70, the body\u2019s ability to make vitamin D begins to decrease.Is this true?\u201d Yes, the doctor you spoke to is correct.As we age, we experience a decrease in the ability to synthesize vitamin D.This, along with less time in the sun, and a drop in dietary intake, can lead to deficiency.Since this vitamin plays a role in both physical and mental well-being, it\u2019s important to monitor vitamin D levels in the elderly.This can be done via a blood test, and if a deficiency is found, it can be addressed through diet and supplements.\u2014 We\u2019ve fielded a few questions about air fryers, which are the countertop appliance of the moment.They cook using a fan that circulates super-heated air and, with just a tablespoon or so of oil, crisp food in the same (well, similar) way that deep-frying does.A reader from Tulsa, Oklahoma, wondered whether this sounds too good to be true and asks, \u201cAre there any negatives to eating foods that have been cooked in an air fryer?\u201d The good news for air fryer fans is that foods cooked in this manner can be up to 70% lower in calories than those cooked via traditional deep-frying.The devices may also decrease the presence of potentially dangerous compounds like acrylamide, which are created during the deep-frying process.However, high-heat cooking of any kind has been associated with the formation of other potentially dangerous compounds.And remember, air-fried foods are only as healthy as the ingredients you\u2019re starting with.\u2014 Our column about an elderly man wanting to get a dog continues to get a lot of thoughtful replies, such as this one from a reader in Fresno, California: \u201cYou left out two important things \u2014 assessing the elderly person\u2019s physical, mental and financial capabilities, and the major differences in the care needed by different breeds.A mature dog with no major physical or emotional problems and that does not need much grooming or running is a very different commitment than a puppy.\u201d \u2014 We recently wrote about advance directives for dementia, in which an individual describes the medical interventions that he or she doesn\u2019t want as the condition progresses.A reader in Terre Haute, Indiana, adds that it\u2019s important to make sure that these directives are accompanied by the specific legal documents required by the laws of their particular state.We thank you, as always, for your interest in this column.Just a reminder \u2014 we can\u2019t answer specific questions about medications, make a diagnosis or offer a second opinion.Also, space limitations mean that sometimes answers aren\u2019t as in-depth as some readers would like.We\u2019ve noticed that our readers aren\u2019t shy about adding to, arguing with or correcting our work, and we are always happy to revisit previous topics here in our monthly conversations.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

DISAPPEARING Protect them.Become a member today.www.ducks.ca 1-866-384-DUCK TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2019 Dear Annie: My son is 7 years old and is attending a soccer camp this summer.He is an average player and loves the game, and he has made friends at the camp.The problem is that one of the boys is a bully, and he targets my son all the time, calling him \u201ca bad player\u201d and kicking the soccer ball right in his face.This has gone on for more than three days.Each day, my son comes home and says the kid was meaner than he was the day before.I left a voicemail for the coach asking if he would do something about this, but he did not reply.That infuriated me.I thought bullying was a thing of the past and that administrators of schools and camps did everything possible to prevent it.My husband took off early from work one day so he could observe the practice and talk to the coach.The coach assured him that he was \u201chandling it,\u201d but I don\u2019t have a great feeling about this.The fact that he ignored my phone call says that he does not take this seriously.The fact that he allowed it to happen in the ?rst place is a really bad sign.Bullying is terrible.I realize that some people will say that it is human nature, that it\u2019s always been this way and that it can sometimes teach kids lessons about how to interact with each other.But I say no way.In 2019, there is no excuse for bullying at a summer camp.I\u2019m not sure what we should do at this point and am turning to you for advice.\u2014 Anti-Bullying Mom Dear Anti-Bullying Mom: It sounds like you took the necessary steps to help be an advocate for your son.There is a difference between a kid being mean or making an insensitive comment and consistent bullying.The reality is that kids can say mean things, sometimes not even on purpose, and they usually can sort it out themselves.In this case, it sounds like it was bullying and not just a rude comment.Bullying is usually consistent and persistent, so you took the right steps by having your husband make the coach aware of the situation.Hopefully, that is the end of it.If the bully persists, and the coach does nothing, I would complain to the director of the camp and keep an open dialogue with your son about steps he can take to defend himself.Dear Annie: An African proverb version of Ben Franklin\u2019s wisdom: \u201cTreat your guest as a guest for two days; on the third day, give him a hoe.\u201d In other words, company is no longer company; they grab a hoe and work in the ?elds like everyone else.When our children visit for three weeks with their noisy families, my husband and I take our vacation in week No.2.They feed the cats, collect papers and mail and enjoy using our home for their base of operations as they visit in the area.We return from our vacation rested and ready to cope with their frantic pace once again.If they stay longer, we take another vacation.Maybe \u201cGrinding My Teeth\u201d can modify this idea to ?t their circumstances.I\u2019ve been reading Annie and Ann (Landers) for 60 years! Much wisdom is to be gained from these ladies.\u2014 Faithful Reader Dear Faithful Reader: Thank you for sharing a wonderful proverb along with a great suggestion! \u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
