RICHMOND The Richmond Arena was the obvious choice for Patrick Lefebvre when he thought of organizing a benefit hockey game.The arena carries the name of his grandfather, Paul-Émile.The Justin Lefebvre Foundation, the group organizing the benefit event, carries the name of his nephew.There\u2019s a lot of hockey between Paul- Émile, who passed away in 1993, and Justin, who died in a tragic swimming accident in June of 2017.\u201cI was quite young when my grandfather died,\u201d says Patrick Lefebvre, \u201cso I know him through stories that I\u2019ve heard about him.The most interesting observation about him was that he was a man who never smiled, but who also loved practical jokes.I don\u2019t know how much of a hockey player he was, but he contributed a lot to hockey in the community.He was in charge of the arena for 23 years and during that time it was practically his second home.He was very involved with the group that brought organized minor hockey to Richmond.He also helped with the creation and running of the annual atom Mousquiri tournament.\u201d Paul-Émile\u2019s son (and Patrick\u2019s father), Paul played hockey and as a youngster also frequently worked with his father in the arena.Patrick and his two brothers, Benoit and Mathieu, all play hockey.Patrick is a goaltender who does occasional duty with the Richmond Old Timers.He is also part owner of the Windsor hockey team, the Wild, along with his brother Benoit, and Sylvain Par- enteau, another hockey aficionado from Richmond.\u201cJustin had also started playing hockey,\u201d says Patrick.\u201cHe was a fair player but he stood out in other ways.He was the oldest of three brothers, and he was very responsible, very mature for his age.Among other things he enjoyed spending time in Richmond where he was fascinated by his grandfather\u2019s workshop.\u201d Justin had only recently turned eight when an innocent game at a birthday party turned tragic.As all children do at some time or other, Justin and his friends had been competing to see who could hold their breath underwater the longest.\u201cThe grandfather of Justin\u2019s best friend was there at the poolside with several other parents, including a doctor,\u201d Patrick explains.\u201cThey were watching the kids.Ironically, they had just suggested to the kids to move on to another game.The boys pleaded to have one last contest.\u201d Unfortunately, despite the fact that he was pulled from the pool quite quickly and despite a doctor\u2019s presence, Justin couldn\u2019t be revived until after he\u2019d been rushed to the hospital.By then, he was in need of life support.\u201cIt\u2019s quite surprising how quickly things can move,\u201d Patrick comments.\u201cOnly a few weeks before he drowned, Justin had signed his own organ donor card.Within 24 hours of arriving at the hospital, Justin\u2019s organs had been donated to help save the lives of four other children.\u201d The foundation bearing Justin\u2019s name also came about quite quickly.\u201cOne of Justin\u2019s friends thought it would be nice to have a foundation,\u201d Patrick says.\u201cThe child had heard the word \u2018foundation\u2019 without knowing all it implied, and his idea was dismissed.But a few weeks later the idea was re-ex- amined and the Fondation Justin Lefeb- vre has been active since November.\u201d The foundation raises funds with the aim of helping families in two different ways.Because Justin was such an active and involved boy, the foundation bearing his name, will help defray registration fees and equipment costs for youngsters seeking to play sports like soccer and hockey.Because organ transplants, for the families of donors as for the families of recipients, can be financially as well as emotionally difficult, the foundation will help defray costs for families undergoing the experience that Justin\u2019s family has recently lived.\u201cWe held our first event last November, in Sherbrooke,\u201d notes Patrick.\u201cIt was a family-centred event at the Complexe Sportif Thibault GM in Sherbrooke that featured a father-son hockey tournament.\u201d The event was a success, so much so that the idea of organising a benefit hockey game in Richmond came almost immediately to Patrick\u2019s mind.In part this was because 11 years ago, when he was studying marketing at Cégep he undertook, as an academic project, to organize a similar benefit game in Windsor between the Papetiers and a team composed of old pros.\u201cThat turned out to be a successful PHOTO (UNDATED) COURTESY OF THE RICHMOND OLD TIMERS CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 6 Monday, March 12, 2018 Page 3 The day is intended to help young women understand the different educational pathways to careers in science and technology through challenging interactive workshops.LOCAL NEWS The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 performer Cory Bowles.Bowles has been helping out with the dance numbers in Bishop\u2019s musicals off and on for nearly ten years now.\u201cCory is always a big input of energy,\u201d the director said.\u201cWe get along really well and almost always have the same take on things so there\u2019s never any disputes whatsoever.\u201d On the musical side of things, the writer and director said that he drafted some of the musical\u2019s more scene-spe- cific songs but the balance of the music rests on period-appropriate folk songs directed and performed by BU Singers director and pianist Fannie Gaudette along with fiddler Jonathan Moorman and guitar/ banjo virtuoso Alex Cattaneo.He also hinted that former choir director Jamie Crooks might be making one or two cameo appearances.\u201cWe do tunes that would have been sung in that period of time,\u201d Rideout said.\u201cIt\u2019s a classic tale and it lends itself to music.The time period lends itself to certain kinds of dances.\u201d Something that is particular to this performance, according to Rideout, is that it is the first time in his memory that a Townshipper will take on a major role, with Lennoxville\u2019s Frankie Kobelt playing the roles of Becky Thatcher and Mary, one of two narrators, on alternating nights.\u201cIn any group of students there isn\u2019t more than three or so people from the townships and sometimes less,\u201c the director said, underlining the fact that the principal roles go to the people who can play them best, regardless of their backgrounds.In this case, he explained, the role of Becky struck him as perfect for Kobelt.\u201cShe has a very pure and genuine voice,\u201d Rideout said.\u201cThere is no separation between the character speaking and the character singing and that is very, very valuable.\u201d Kobelt, who has been acting in the community in various different ways from a very young age, said that working on the show has been a great adventure for her.\u201cDoing a musical is insane,\u201d she said.\u201cIt\u2019s so much fun but it is so much work.\u201d Where many previous musicals at Bishop\u2019s have been set up as a spring course in order to account for the added work involved, the production of Tom Sawyer has been running alongside a regular course load for its entire cast.As a result, the actress explained, rehearsals have been divided up between singing, dancing, and regular stage direction to make sure everything gets the attention it needs.\u201cIt\u2019s been kind of like a puzzle,\u201d Ko- belt said.\u201cIt\u2019s going to be interesting to finally see everything be put together.\u201d In this case, \u201cputting everything together,\u201d also includes the set, as the cast are required to put in technical hours in addition to their regular rehearsal schedule,.\u201cWe can spend, like, 14 hours a day here in the theatre,\u201d Kobelt said, explaining that that kind of schedule can make for tense situations, \u201cwe all still love each other.\u201d Looking ahead to this week\u2019s performances, the actress said that she feels like the show will make an impression on its audience.\u201cMusicals are fun for everyone,\u201d she said.Expanding on that, Rideout said that he feels it is important that the plays at Bishop\u2019s be accessible to all ages every now and again.\u201cWe have a debt to the community,\u201d he said, going on to say that although the story of Tom Sawyer is one he enjoyed as a young boy, he feels that presenting it on stage as a musical opens up the tale to people young and old who might otherwise never look inside the book.\u201cWhen I was a kid every boy read Tom Sawyer, but I look at it now and I go, well, that\u2019s a fairly tough read,\u201d the director said.\u201cPutting it in a musical format gives people access to the story in a way I hope they will really enjoy.\u201d It is also in the spirit of reaching all ages that the run of the play includes a Saturday afternoon matinee, during which one child and parent have the chance to win a backstage tour of the theatre.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer runs the evenings of March 14 to 17 with a matinee performance on the 17th at 2 p.m.and is about two hours and fifteen minutes in length.\u201cThe intention is that everyone\u2019s on their way home at ten,\u201d Rideout said.The cast of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer working on a dance number with choreographer Cory Bowles PHOTOS

CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 2 fundraising event, and I think this benefit game will be too,\u201d he says.\u201cI started making phone calls in December.The Richmond Old Timers were glad to get involved.The Old Pros, Anciens Pro- fessionels, are retired NHLers, professional players from the area, or formers players from the Quebec Major Junior league, and I called them one by one.\u201d While it took time, the job was made easier because Patrick had kept his contact list from his Cégep class and, because of his own extensive involvement in hockey, he has met a number of former players on other occasions.People who follow hockey will recognize the names of some of the Old Pros, like Sean McKenna who grew up in Asbestos and played several years in the NHL.Those who follow hockey very closely may recognize the name Gilles Levasseur who grew up in Richmond.While he never made it to the NHL, he holds the record for most goals scored in one game at the Quebec International Pee Wee tournament.The benefit game between the old pros and the Richmond Old Timers is going to cap the event that is going to start a 6:00 pm with a family tailgate party featuring music and inflatable games.The event is going to be a bit of a reunion for the Old Timers, past and present, with quite a few of those who\u2019ve played for the Old Timers over the last 50 years planning to attend.The benefit game itself will start close to 8:00 pm.\u201cIf we reach our goal,\u201d says Patrick, \u201cwe\u2019ll raise $7000 for the foundation and $1500 for Richmond Minor Hockey.\u201d There\u2019s a good chance Patrick will reach his goal.The Richmond arena can seat 492 patrons.There is standing room for another 100 spectators.One week before the game 450 tickets were already sold.The Old Pros / Old Timers game is at 8:00 on Saturday, March 17 at the Richmond arena.Tickets cost $15.00 and are available at Quillorama or at the arena.\u201cWe want to express our thanks to our sponsors, including the Town of Richmond for the use of the arena,\u201d Patrick finishes.\u201cIt should be a great evening.Everyone is welcome, and we\u2019ll find a place for everyone who shows up.\u201d DEAR EDITOR; Recently seven out of ten members of the Bloc Quebecois quit the party, accusing the leader, Martine Ouellet of being too much of a hard-core separatist.Those that quit the BQ, like many of their constituents, may recall that during the Quebec Provincial election some three years ago, I raised one issue that may have contributed to the defeat of the Parti Quebecois, namely the fact that in the event of independence, Que- becers would become \u201cNon-residents of Canada\u201d and would face unaffordable hospital charges in the rest of Canada.Since then, the situation has only worsened.The charge for one day in the Intensive Care Unit is $18,540 at Victoria General Hospital, Halifax.At the Ottawa Hospital, it is $6585 and at the Toronto General Hospital, it is $6300 (plus additional charges for CT and MRI scans).The base daily rate at the Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg is $12,231, but diagnostic tests are extra.Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary charges $16,868.The daily rate for a bed in the ICU of the Vancouver General Hospital is $13,940 daily \u2013 not including medications or diagnostic tests.If the Bloc disintegrates, voters in those ridings may consider switching their allegiance.Initial predictions were that this would likely benefit the Liberal Party.However, according to a recent Ipsos poll conducted for Global News, following Trudeau\u2019s trip to India, the Conservatives support is 38% nationally vs 33% for the Liberals.Andrew Scheer might increase his likelihood of victory among Quebecers by improving, not destroying, their access to healthcare in other parts of Canada.The Quebec government refuses to sign a reciprocal agreement that would provide portable physician benefits outside its borders.On its website, the Quebec government acknowledges that it \u201cdoes not cover the full cost of healthcare services\u201d and even suggests that, \u201cIt\u2019s a good idea to take out private insurance.\u201d This fails to solve the problem for many.Those who have pre-existing conditions such as diabetes mellitus, cardiac disease, malignancies, etc.may find that their private travel insurance does not cover them, especially if they are deemed \u201cunstable\u201d by having changed the dose of their medications within three months of travelling.Some 92,320 persons left Quebec for other provinces between 2011 and 2016.During the first three months, many might need to see a physician for prescription renewals, routine blood work, X-rays, etc., but they could not purchase travel insurance to cover elective care.Due to a shortage of family physicians and specialists, West Quebec patients often seek care in Ottawa.However, they become \u201csecond-class\u201d citizens in their own country.Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, when the House reconvenes, should introduce legislation setting up a mechanism of direct payment of physicians across Canada for all patients treated outside their home province.Ottawa already pays MDs directly for the care of federal prisoners, and refugees (through the IFHP), and did so until recently for members of the RCMP.With an $18 billion federal deficit, would this be justifiable?I have previously estimated that the annual cost to cover Quebec residents would be only $175 million.Last year, Ottawa cut the annual inflation factor for health transfers to the provinces and territories from 6% to slightly over 3%.In the new budget, the Canada Health Transfer is to rise by 3.8%.All provinces \u2013 not just Quebec \u2013 would benefit financially if Ottawa were to take over the cost of all out-of-province medical care.The NDP and Liberal parties should not oppose this proposal.It is affordable and would promote national unity.Healthcare is usually a major issue among voters.With an aging population at risk of developing unexpected complications of diabetes and cardiac disease, and with an increasing number of Anglophones and Allophones having extended families across Canada, full access to medical care in other parts of our nation could become a significant issue.Andrew Scheer might improve his chances of winning more seats in Quebec, and achieving a Conservative majority government in 2019, if he were to finally provide Quebecers with fully portable healthcare across Canada.CHARLES SHAVER, MD OTTAWA, ONTARIO EDITORIAL Page

CANADIAN PRESS There's a feeling of pure freedom when Mac Marcoux is roaring down the mountain at 120 kilometres an hour, the only sounds coming from the crunch of his skis on the snow and the directions from guide Jack Leitch.The 20-year-old skier's love of speed carried him to Canada's first gold medal of the Pyeongchang Paralympic Games, as he and Leitch won the downhill for visually impaired on Saturday.\u201cIt's a pretty special feeling.It's just me and Jack and we're alone on the hill, and we can go as fast as we want .it's really cool,\u201d Marcoux said with a big grin.And fast they went, beating silver medallists Jakub Krako and guide Branislav Brozman of Slovakia by 1.42 seconds.Earlier, Mollie Jepsen of Vancouver captured Canada's first medal of the Games, a bronze in the women's standing downhill.Marcoux, a 20-year-old from Sault Ste.Marie, Ont., was raised on a steady diet of adrenalin sports, racing go-carts, dirt bikes and snowmobiles as a kid alongside brother Billy Joe.But he started losing his vision when he was eight to Stargardt's disease, and was legally blind by nine.\u201cWhen I was young, it was kind of an easy transition because when you're eight years old, you really don't know any better, so it was kind of seamless,\u201d Marcoux said.\u201cThe biggest part of that was having a supportive family and they never really stopped me from doing what I was doing before.They just kind of regulated it a little more.\u201cI quit racing go-karts, but I still had the other things .we live outside the city so we carried on with everyday life and they just made it seem like no big deal.I thank them for that.\u201d Like cross-country skier Brian McK- eever, who carried Canada's flag in Friday night's opening ceremonies, Marcoux has some peripheral vision but no central vision.He credits McKeever for paving the way to Paralympic sport.The 10-time Paralympic gold medallist and Marcoux's mom Lee spoke often when he was beginning to lose his sight.\u201cHe was definitely a big role model .he kind of just gave me the tips and pointers of how to get into sport and really go after something, and seeing how successful he's been, he's been a pretty awesome role model to have,\u201d Marcoux said.He and Leitch communicate through radios in their helmets, much like a race car driver talks to his pit crew.The event announcer, who barked out information during the standing and sitting races Saturday, remained silent for the visually impaired runs to prevent interfering in communication.\u201cIt's kind of like having someone else explain what you can't see in front of you,\u201d Marcoux said, on the teamwork with his guide.\u201cI can see enough that I can see where he's going, but he's calling a lot more of the terrain changes so he gives me a heads up when it's bumpy, or when there's some rolls, or we're going to get light.It's kind of like skiing with a buddy.\u201d Marcoux could see the fluorescent yellow of Leitch's calves in his ski suit, and the black of ski boots, and the duo carved their line down the course at Jeongseon Alpine Centre in almost perfect tandem Saturday morning, almost as if they were attached by an invisible rope.\u201cI wore this yellow suit today so he can see better,\u201d said Leitch, a 21-year-old from Calgary.\u201cThe team suit is red and we tried it out, but just the yellow he can see better.\u201d \u201cThe red blends in with the fencing,\u201d Marcoux added.Marcoux, who originally competed with his brother as his guide, made his Paralympic debut as Canada's youngest athlete (16) in Sochi four years ago, racing to gold in the giant slalom and bronze in both the downhill and Super G.Billy Joe suffered a back injury right before Sochi, so Marcoux teamed up with Robin Femy.But disaster struck the two in Super G when their mics cut out at the start gate.They raced anyway, Femy hollering instructions over his shoulder to Marcoux, his voice getting lost in the strong wind.\u201cYou can't really hear much when you're going that fast, but it made it made interesting and a lot of fun,\u201d Marcoux laughed.He and Leitch, a former Alberta provincial team skier, teamed up in 2016 and found almost instant success.They raced to four gold medals at last year's world championships, and Marcoux collected his third consecutive Crystal Globe as the overall winner.While downhill is one of their strongest events, they could march to the medal podium four more times in Pyeongchang.Jepsen, meanwhile, finished 4.30 seconds behind gold medallist Marie Bochet of France, and 2.23 seconds back of and silver medallist Andrea Rothfuss of Germany.Jepsen was the first skier down, and had to wait for 11 more skiers to see if her time would hold up for a medal.\u201cI didn't think it would,\u201d she said.\u201cI had some mistakes at the top section, I made up some time at the bottom but I wasn't very certain it was going to hold up, so it was definitely a very nervewracking experience standing up there waiting.\u201d Calgary's Alana Ramsay just missed the podium, finishing fourth with a time of 1:35.21.\u201cI'm feeling really good with what we had, we didn't have all the training runs I was hoping to have and that kind of threw me off,\u201d said Ramsay, who rebounded to win bronze in the Super G event on Sunday.Two of the three downhill practice runs Saturday were cancelled due to inclement weather.Canada's head coach Jean-Sebastien Labrie was selected to set Saturday's downhill course, an icy, fast track that wound through 41 gates over 2,356 metres, and featured a stomach-dropping blind corner that skiers negotiated through without seeing what lay ahead.Marcoux was also in action in Sunday's men's Super G event but crashed and did not finish.Canada's team in Pyeongchang is looking to improve on the 16 medals it won four years ago in Sochi.The Canadian team of 55 athletes and guides arrived in Pyeongchang less than two weeks after their Olympic counterparts completed the most successful winter Games in Canadian history, winning 29 medals for third overall.The Paralympics run until March 18.

MONDAY, MARCH 12, 2018 Dear Annie: I\u2019m a pretrial detainee, and I\u2019ve been in jail waiting for my day in court for going on three years now.My wife has been patiently awaiting my return.She has been so supportive and has persevered through this trying time with courage and strength.My dilemma is that I\u2019m worried that she is growing weary but is too proud to admit it.I wonder at times whether it\u2019s fair to ask her to wait or even to \u2018\u2019allow\u2019\u2019 her to wait.I guess a part of me thinks I should let her go because I love her so much.I would hate to see her suffer further, and there\u2019s a chance my trial will not go as I hope.How should I handle this?\u2014 Lover in Limbo Dear Lover in Limbo: You want your wife to have happiness even if it\u2019s without you.That\u2019s love.Though I admire your willingness to selflessly \u201clet her go,\u201d you can\u2019t make that decision for her.You two are a team, united in marriage for better or worse.Talk to her; express your feelings, and let her know it\u2019s OK for her to express hers, whatever they are.Have faith that she will tell you honestly.Extended Family (http://www.ex- tendedfamilyhelp.org) offers a database of resources for families of those who are incarcerated, which she might find useful, as she\u2019ll need all the support she can get during this difficult time.Lastly, I imagine you\u2019ve already exhausted every option, but do be sure to consult your lawyer about your right to a speedy trial.Dear Annie: There are a lot of good reasons that pastors, group leaders and presidents of companies should never call on someone out of the blue to give a speech or read something out loud for the group.Some people can\u2019t read; some people get nervous; some have poor eyesight; some have dyslexia; some lose their place easily because of memory problems.Pastors and other leaders should ask the person ahead of time whether the person would like to give a speech or read for the group.Then the person can say yes or no.This came up because of a friend of mine at Bible study, \u201cBecca.\u201d The pastor asked Becca to read several verses.Her face got so red.She struggled through the verses.Afterward, she told me she has dyslexia and was mortified to be called on to read out loud.She has been able to get through life because she can really take her time to read something when she\u2019s just reading it to herself, but reading out loud to a group was too much.And she was so shocked to be called on that she couldn\u2019t quickly think of an excuse, such as, \u201cI forgot my reading glasses.\u201d She doesn\u2019t want to go back to Bible study, because she\u2019s ashamed now that everyone knows she has difficulty reading.I told her not to worry about it \u2014 that everyone just thought she was nervous and no one will even think about it.I told her I\u2019m a terrible speller; no one is perfect.I am sure some pastors and group leaders do not realize they should not call on people just out of the blue.Please share this to help them understand.\u2014 Concerned Churchgoer Dear Concerned Churchgoer: Your compassion is commendable.This is an issue I imagine many haven\u2019t considered.I\u2019m printing your letter to, I hope, help change that.Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday , March 12, 2018 Page 9 On the other side of the bars Dear Annie Our meeting of February 20th, 2018 was at the Elie Carrier center.Our new President, Penny Fowler, started the meeting by welcoming three new members.Penny announced that we lost three members this month, Dorothy Woodman, Russel Nichols and John Sharpe.She read a text and we had a moment of silence.Also three birthdays this month.Two members were present, Betty Haskell and Leanne Mayhew.We all sang Happy Birthday.The meeting went on with the reading of the Annual Financial Report.It was followed with a few jokes and stories by Penny and Ellen Bailey.Penny also said grace before our excellent meal.Participation prizes were won by the cook, Armand Boivin and one of our new members, Ruth Charleau.The free meal door prize was won by Huguette Simard.Shirley Desruisseaux read the text \u2018\u2019Do everything in Love\u2019\u2019.She had four candles representing Peace, Faith, Love and Hope.As she read the text, she was extinguishing the candles for Peace, Faith and Love.Hope remained \u2013 as long as Hope lives, we can relight the other candles when they go out.It\u2019s an inspiring text and a member mentionned that if we have Faith we never lose Hope.February being Valentine\u2019s month we had asked members to wear something \u2018red\u2019 so Penny, with the help of her rabbit, Jenny, read us a story about the beginning of Valentine.She went around and found only two members not wearing red.She collected $0.25 from each of them and it was given to the treasurer.The door prizes were won by Sue Nichols, Ruth Charleau, Janet Shepherd, Barbara Paxton, Sott Kirby, Patricia Bryant, Doris Beaudin, Betty Haskell, Gerrit Van der Mark, Kathy Cloutier, Pat Howe, Shirley Desruisseaux, Delma Fowler and Carole Mayne.We had asked members to share hints using items we found in the house.Penny had a good list of things to do and also some members.Be advised that next month the meeting is on March 27th, the fourth Tuesday not the third and the main meal will be chicken breast.It\u2019s also the Sugar Bush meal.Even if St-Patrick\u2019s day was the 17th, we can still celebrate it by wearing something green.As usual someone will be phoning to remind you of the meeting at the Elie Carrier Center and at the same time probably ask you if you want to go out to a \u2018Cabane à sucre\u2019 on top of having the \u2018sugar sweet\u2019 at the Center.Submitted by Penny Fowler, President Suzanne Martin, Secretary Coaticook Area Senior Citizen\u2019s Club Every day, over 10 million Canadian adults read a newspaper.Getting your message out to millions of Canadians doesn\u2019t have to be a stroke of luck.NEWSPAPERS.THE MOST TRUSTED MEDIUM.

production@sherbrookerecord.com The Record By Melissa D\u2019Arabian For all the grief the Caesar salad gets in the culinary world, I proudly admit to adoring the classic flavour combination - garlicky-lemon dressing mixed with anchovy-umami undertone that can only come from salty fish, topped off with nutty, pungent parmesan.If I could eat only one salad for the rest of my life, it would be some form of Caesar.Today\u2019s recipe for Brussels Sprouts Caesar with Sardine Croutons is a pivot on the standard version.The dressing is my quick weeknight version, using a tiny bit of mayo for creaminess instead of raw egg.Instead of romaine, I use shaved raw Brussels sprouts, which significantly boost the protein over other lettuces and greens.And, the bright lemony dressing completely covers any lingering cruciferous notes from the raw Brussels that may bother some palates.I leave off the bread croutons, a move originated in honour of my daughter\u2019s intolerance of gluten, but one that works out well for those watching carbs.Instead, I lightly saute up sardines and cut them into cubes to stand- in as croutons, boosting protein, omega-3s and salty flavour.I skip the anchovy paste, no longer necessary, in the dressing.If the sardines scare you, I\u2019d like to encourage you to give them a try, in this recipe or in another.A can of sardines will only set you back a buck or two, and are handy to have in the pantry.If you are a canned sardine newbie, I\u2019d suggest looking for the words \u201cboneless and skinless\u201d on the label.The bones are actually barely detectable, and the skin is tasteless, but the skin is hard to remove, and its silvery colour is a bit of a turn-off for my kiddos.So maybe start slow.When you open the can, gently remove the sardines (don\u2019t worry if they break a little; they are delicate.).Blot them in a paper towel to remove excess oil - and fishy flavour - thoroughly.Final tip: Serve sardines with plenty of citrus to appreciate a marriage of flavours that just works.If I can\u2019t convince you, though, I\u2019ve made this Caesar recipe with canned tuna instead - just drain the tuna and spoon right on top of the salad.BRUSSELS SPROUTS CAESAR WITH SARDINE CROUTONS Servings: 6 Start to finish: 20 minutes 1 pound Brussels sprouts, sliced or shredded (about 4 cups total) 1 small can (3.75 ounces) skinless, boneless sardines, drained and blotted dry with a paper towel 1 tablespoon flour Olive oil in a mister Dressing: 1 tablespoon mayonnaise 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 teaspoon finely minced fresh garlic 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 ounce of Parmesan cheese (for shards) Extra lemon and black pepper for serving, optional Place shredded Brussels sprouts in a large salad bowl and set aside.Heat a small nonstick saute pan over medium- high heat.Gently dredge the sardines in the flour, lightly coating the sardines with the flour on both sides.(You may skip this step entirely, and just saute the patted sardines.Spray the pan with a light coating of olive oil and cook the sardines until lightly crusty and golden, about 3 minutes per side.Remove from heat and set aside.Meanwhile, make the dressing: whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.Spoon the dressing onto the shredded sprouts and toss to coat well.Top with sardines (serve whole or cut into cubes), a few shards of parmesan cheese and additional black pepper and serve with extra lemon wedges, if desired.Nutrition information per serving: 122 calories; 56 calories from fat; 6 g fat (2 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 31 mg cholesterol; 166 mg sodium; 9 g carbohydrate; 3 g fiber; 2 g

Smith, an author of fantasy and science fiction, said, \u201cWhen I turned 13 and took a typing class, with typical early teen enthusiasm and total lack of critical ability, I started sending my stuff to publishers once I\u2019d baby-sat long enough to earn the postage.\u201d If you can count to 13 at the bridge table, you will quickly win the money to buy sheets and sheets of stamps \u2014 assuming you are playing for greenbacks.How did that ability help South in today\u2019s deal?He was in five diamonds.West cashed his two top spades (East showing three by following suit in ascending order), then shifted to the heart 10.West made a weak jump overcall.South\u2019s three-spade cue-bid asked his partner to bid three no-trump with a spade stopper.When North could only admit to some club values, South signed off in five diamonds.The key to the contract was avoiding a club loser.The normal line would have been to cash the king, then play low to dummy\u2019s jack.But the original declarer decided to find out as much as he could about the deal.He took the third trick with his heart ace, drew trumps, played a heart to dummy\u2019s king and ruffed the heart nine.What had he learned?That West had started with six spades, two hearts, one diamond .and therefore four clubs.South cashed his club king to see East\u2019s singleton, then played a club to dummy\u2019s nine.When it held, he returned to his hand with a trump and played a club to the jack.The number 13 is lucky for bridge players.CROSSWORD Across 1 Medicare section for doctors\u2019 services 6 Number of sides
