all collectors: A Townships toy story Page 4 Fruitful exchanges at BU civic engagement forum Donald Warnholtz to represent Estrie on new provincial access committee By Matthew McCully Roughly 50 young English-speakers from across the province are currently participating in the second edition of the Bishop\u2019s Forum, designed to develop their leadership skills, foster a sense of belonging in Quebec, and learn about the fundamental institutions of Quebec society.\u201cThings are going very well,\u201d said Russell Copeman, director of the week-long forum.\u201cThese are very engaged, articulate, passionate people,\u201d Copeman said, explaining that a deliberate effort was made to include participants from across the province to reflect the geographic and cultural diversity of the population of Quebec.This year\u2019s forum included four young leaders from Nunavut.\u201cThat has been a wonderful experience,\u201d Copeman said, explaining it was beneficial for the participants to learn first-hand what life is like up north.Guest speakers at the forum included former Quebec Premier Jean Charest, the Minister responsible for Relations with English-Speaking Quebecers Kathleen Weil, and the Minister responsible for Native Affairs Geoffrey Kelley, to name a few.Yesterday, the young leaders met with Pierre Reid, Director General of Elections, who discussed the importance of youth voting.Copeman said the forum also included a panel on social change, to teach the participants to channel their energy, passion and knowledge to make a better world.Watching the group interact with guest speakers, Copeman described the young leaders as \u2018scary smart\u2019.\u201cThey\u2019re insightful, passionate, and very smart,\u201d he said, which has made for some fruitful exchanges.The week will round out with a mock Parliamentary Commission where the participants will debate proposed legislative changes they would like to see in Quebec.Concordia student Andres Gauthier, from Stanstead, said the forum has been very informative.As president of the refugee sponsorship group at Concordia, Gauthier said her goal at the forum was to learn more about immigration policies and hear different perspectives on how to be more inclusive when integrating people within the school community.Gauthier said she found all the guest speakers to date interesting, with the exception of Kathleen Weil.She hoped for something more substantive from the minister responsible for the English community, Gaughier explained.Overall she found the discussions at the forum very insightful.In addition to what she learned from the guest speakers, Gauthier said it was interesting to interact with the other participants and gain the perspective from young Anglos from different areas.BISHOP\u2019S UNIVERSITY By Gordon Lambie Dixville Home Foundation President Donald Warnholtz was among eleven individuals announced as members of the new provincial access committee for health and social services in English on Tuesday by Quebec\u2019s Minister of Health, Gaetan Barrette, and the Minister Responsible for Relations with English-speaking Quebecers, Kathleen Weil.First announced at the end of April, the committee will serve as an advisory body to the Ministry of Health and social services on matters relating to the ability of English-speaking Quebecers to receive healthcare in their mother-tongue.\u201cThe idea is to make recommendations to the ministry of how better to deliver services in the English language,\u201d Warn- holtz explained.\u201cAlthough sometimes they can be politicized, I really look on it as a way of ensuring that people receive good service.If you understand what is being told to you at a vulnerable time in your life and you are able to follow the directions well and make yourself heard, it leads to a better outcome.\u201d The townships representative is not a stranger to the world of access committees, having served on the local committee during his time working with CRDITED Estrie, but he said that this committee still needs a bit of time to clarify the specifics of its work.Warnholtz told The Record that he was informed about his selection late last week and said that although he had received documents about the nature of the work to be done, he had yet to hear about who the other members of the committee would be.Those other members are Sara Saber- Freedman, Ella Amir, Terry Kaufman, and David Morris from Montreal, Bonnie Jean CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 A kind of mushroomy odour, like shirts put away damp

adversity, despite your diminutive stature and compromised immune system.During your more introspective moments, you have to admit you brought it on yourself, though thankfully those moments are balanced by the seemingly infinite number of other people to blame.Your hair gets tangled in ceiling fans with surprising frequency.Squirrels and chipmunks feed right out of your hand.You\u2019re

Outaouais region, Jennifer Hobbs Robert in Quebec City, Eileen Schofield on the Lower North Shore, Cathy Brown in the Gaspé, and Carolynn Roberts in the Lauren- tians.\u201cI am very pleased with the composition of this committee as its members, who come from different English-speaking communities in Quebec, form a very representative portrait of the English population,\u201d Barrette said at Tuesday\u2019s announcement.\u201cI am convinced that, together, they will be able to shed light on the needs of their respective communities with a goal of improving access to services across the health and social services network.\u201d \u201cWith the adoption of (the Regulation respecting the Provincial Committee on the dispensing of health and social services in the English language) and the establishment of this committee, we are ensuring that we respond as effectively as possible to the needs of each community across Quebec,\u201d Weil added.In a press release following the announcement, the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) highlighted its involvement in the selection process, having recommended two candidates for each of the 11 positions.\u201cWe are pleased that this process led to a strong committee made up of English-speaking Quebecers who will be able to advocate forcefully in favour of the real and pressing need for Eng- lish-speaking Quebecers to have proper access to health and social services in our own language,\u201d said QCGN President and vice-chair of the selection committee that reviewed applicants, Geoffrey Chambers.\u201cThese community leaders have a big job ahead of them and we thank them in advance for the important work they will be accomplishing on behalf of our community.\u201d Looking ahead, Warnholtz said that he sees the work of the new group as being community-centered.He pointed out that although all of the representatives selected come from backgrounds in specific organizations working with the English population, none of them are supposed to represent any given group on the committee.\u201cI really hope that it is a committee that focuses on improving the access to services in a nonpolitical way,\u201d he said.\u201cIf people are able to get good health services in their language at the right time, there\u2019s a better outcome for everyone.\u201d Record Staff The Estrie SPA will open the doors to its brand new shelter, located at 145 Sauvé Street in Sherbrooke, on Tuesday, Aug.28.The new building will house all the animals in the organization\u2019s care.Over the next two weeks, SPA de l'Estrie staff will be active in arranging their new workspaces, proceeding with the installation of new dog pens, compartmentalized cages for cats and the installation of all new work equipment in the various areas.The animals themselves will be moved during the weekend before the opening in the final stage of the move.As this is a major operation, services will be interrupted for four days, from Friday 24 to Monday, Aug.27 inclusive.The current shelter, located at 1139 Queen Victoria Blvd in Sherbrooke, will be closed.SPA de l'Estrie activities will resume on Tuesday, Aug.28 in the new building, which is near Highway 410 and Val-Estrie Ford on King West.Operating hours will remain the same, from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m.Monday to Saturday.To mark the opening of the new shelter, an open house will be organized during the fall that will allow all Estrie citizens to visit the new refuge.The official date for the open house will be announced soon.This new expanded space, which is twice as spacious as the previous shelter, will offer optimal living conditions and comfort for all resident animals.The central objective of the project is to improve the conditions of care for the animals served within the shelter by building environments according to the specific needs of each species.To facilitate adoptions, the new shelter will offer more friendly and warm adoption areas.All this will reduce stress for animals and improve their quality of life.The project has become necessary because of the high degree of wear and tear on the current building and the need to move was self-evident because the current shelter\u2019s property did not allow for any expansion.The construction of the new shelter is the result of a major public funding campaign.To date, Operation Doux refuge has raised $752,270 of a total objective of $850,000, corresponding to 88 per cent of the financial objective.The SPA de l\u2019Estrie is once again seeking the help of the public and is counting on the kindness of the Townshippers to help raise the $97,730 remaining by the end of 2018.To do so, the public is invited to donate what they can online at Opéra- tionDouxRefuge.com.Every year, more than 5,000 animals end up being sheltered at the SPA de l'Estrie.The organization serves 27 municipalities in the Eastern Townships and has more than 40 employees, dedicated to improving relationships between humans and animals in the region.This fall, in addition to highlighting the opening of its new home, the organization is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.Thursday , August 16, 2018 Page 3

Francoeur Special to The Record Michel Roy comes from a family of collectors, and he certainly inherited the gene.For 35 years he has collected over 3,000 toys of all types, from wind-ups to trains and trucks, all the way to Happy Meal toys.Now, however, Roy has decided to make some room and share his treasures with the world in a two-part auction.\u201cI felt like it was time to move on.I\u2019m not bitter or sad about selling them,\u201d said Roy, of his collection.\u201c I had always been curious to see what auctioning them off would be like, but I never dreamed I\u2019d be setting up my own!\u201d The toys will be sold in two unreserved auctions; one live and one online.The live auction will take place next weekend, on Aug.25 and 26.It will begin at 9:30 a.m.at the Richmond community center.The online auction will last a whole week, from August 27 to September 2, ending at noon.According to the toy collector, it was his daughter who finally convinced him to do something about his 3,000 knick-knacks.\u201cI got to a certain age where I thought it would be wise to liquidate.My daughter asked me to get rid of them,\u201d he explained.\u201cI didn\u2019t want them to turn into a burden for her, if anything happened to me.She told me it would be too hard for her to get rid of them once I was gone.Besides, I know the story behind all of them, what they\u2019re worth.\u201d Both Roy and his auctioneer, Stephen Barrie, have been working tirelessly since early June to get the collection ready.Due to the sheer size of the collection, it has been quite a challenge, but with the auction dates coming up soon, they are in the final stretch.\u201cIt took me a week just to pack everything,\u201d said Roy.\u201cIt took us another three weeks to unpack and sort everything.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of work.You have to pack, move, unpack, clean, take a photo and sort them out.Michel had a wood stove at home, so all the toys got sort of dusty,\u201d chuckled Barrie.\u201cWe had to meticulously clean every cranny: moving little arms, doors, tiny side mirrors, all the moving parts.I can\u2019t take credit for that though; my wife Genevieve did most of it.We went through a lot of toothbrushes, let me tell you!\u201d \u201cOur biggest fear was snapping off pieces.When you move so many toys, there\u2019s a risk of breakage for sure.We did pretty good though, we only had to glue back a couple of pieces,\u201d he continued.\u201cThe older ones surprisingly weren\u2019t the ones we worried about.They\u2019re very sturdy.Especially the ones from the 30s-40s-50s, they\u2019re made out of solid steel.The fact that they\u2019re still around is a testament to their quality.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re just putting on the finishing touches now,\u201d added Roy.\u201cOn the 22nd everything is going to be hauled to the auction hall!\u201d Though Roy has been collecting toys since 1983, his interest had been piqued from a very young age by his father, who was also a collector.\u201cMy father was a milkman, and one day he noticed that a woman on his route had thrown an old steam shovel toy in the garbage.He asked her if he could have it, and she said to go ahead, she didn\u2019t want it anymore,\u201d recounted Roy.\u201cDad used to restore toys, so he took it home, took it apart, sanded the pieces down and put it back together; good as new.The only thing was that he wasn\u2019t all that good at the painting part.\u201d \u201cI had loved building models since I was a kid.So, he came up to me and asked me to paint the toy.I said, sure, and I took my time and painted it in my father\u2019s favorite colors: green and black.It looked really good! When I gave it to my dad, though, he just handed it back to me.I was stunned, but my dad just said: \u2018did you like doing it?\u2019 and I said yes.He just said, \u2018then keep doing it.\u2019 That\u2019s really how this whole thing got started.\u201d Roy\u2019s dad instilled a love for collecting and restoring in other members of the family.His brothers also collect toys, one loves fire trucks and ambulances, another fancies tractors and bulldozers, and yet another prefers wind-up toys.Roy never stuck to one type of toy, however.He simply picks up whatever toy catches his eye.He spends a lot of time at flea markets, garage sales and exhibits.\u201cYou know how when you get a new dog, it\u2019s whatever puppy you connect with that you end up taking home?Same thing with my toys,\u201d laughed Roy.\u201cThe toy chooses me.Whichever one \u2018speaks\u2019 to me: \u2018buy me, buy me! Take me home!\u2019 I don\u2019t resist, I just go alright!\u201d Over the years, Roy has collected toys from all over the world.England, the U.S., Canada, Japan, Russia, and even occupied Germany.The oldest toy in his collection is a cast iron toy set of an old fire department, complete with horses, dating from 1905.That one, he warns, isn\u2019t for sale.It\u2019s one of his favorite pieces.He explained that he restores all the toys he finds using \u2018fake-original\u2019 parts, as he puts it.Some factories, like one in Hersey, Pennsylvania, will still produce replacement parts using the original molds.According to Roy, Canadian toy parts are extremely hard to find.\u201cFrom the early 30s to the 60s there were a lot of Canadian toys, but not anymore, just because it\u2019s cheaper to make them in Taiwan and China,\u201d he said, listing Minnitoys as a notable manufacturer from Ontario.Roy, in fact, has a large set of Minnitoys, that he calls the \u2018cream of the crop\u2019 of his overall collection.\u201cThat makes the Canadian toys more valuable, but the most sought after are the American and Japanese toys, especially the Japanese tin ones from after World War II.They have remarkable details.\u201d According to Roy, the world of toy collectors is actually quite large.If it is a hobby most people don\u2019t hear about, it is mostly a question of safety.With a collection as expansive and valuable as Roy\u2019s, it is not exactly something he advertises.\u201cIt\u2019s for protection,\u201d he said, explaining that the cost to insure the collection would be in the thousands.\u201cWho actually has that kind of money?Not me,\u201d chuckled Roy.\u201cYou find other ways.You get a dog, bars in the windows, padlocks, and you keep on the down-low.\u201d Even so, Roy is quite well-known among collectors.He used to tour often with his collection, going to antique shows and the like.\u201cOnce again, my dad made me do it.He said: \u2018Mikey, you can\u2019t keep all this to yourself!\u2019 So, I decided to tour, show off a bit,\u201d he said.\u201cThing is, after a while, it gets expensive.It can cost upwards of $500 for a weekend, all out of your own pocket.You can get some great finds though.\u201d One such find is a green Minnitoy Hochelaga Oil truck toy he found at a toy exhibit.\u201cIt was from the 1950s.The owner asked: \u2018how much would you give me for it?\u2019 I said: \u2018Well, I don\u2019t want to risk insulting you.Name your price.\u2019 He said he wanted $40.I took it immediately.An antique dealer was watching the whole thing and he rushed over to me and offered me $2000 for it, right then and there.I refused though, for me it\u2019s not about the money.\u201d \u201cI had a lot of fun finding them,\u201d said Roy of his treasures.\u201cBut now it\u2019s time to let others appreciate them.There\u2019s a bit of everything, so I think any collector will find something for themselves.\u201d There will be a preview for the live auction on Friday August 24, from noon to 8:00 p.m.For more information and to see pictures of the collection, visit www.bs- bauctions.com, or visit their Facebook page,

Marc-André Boivin were shocked to come home from work on Tuesday and discover that their boat, sitting on a trailer in their driveway, had been stolen.\u201cIt\u2019s been like that for the past two years,\u201d Stratton said.\u201cWe always leave it parked in our driveway since we don\u2019t live on the lakeside.We have it on a trailer with a lock system for the hitch part,\u201d she said.According to Stratton, a witness saw two young men hitching Stratton\u2019s boat to a white jeep on Tuesday between 1:45- 2 p.m.\u201cShe didn\u2019t think to call the cops because she didn\u2019t think they were stealing it,\u201d Stratton said.The witness simply assumed family or friends had come by to borrow the boat.It wasn\u2019t until Stratton posted on Facebook that the boat was stolen that the witness came forward with a description.Stratton said she was told by police that thefts of this type are not uncommon in the area.Tools, motors and other equipment do on occasion go missing from properties.\u201cIt\u2019s in the hands of investigators, and they will contact us if they get any news,\u201d commented Stratton.The value of the boat was $48,500 and the trailer was worth roughly $3,500, she said.\u201cThey didn\u2019t want to get our hopes up, but that fact that it was two young men in their twenties and that they did it in broad daylight, they may not be as smart as normal thieves,\u201d Stratton said.While Stratton said the boat is insured, she and her boyfriend will still lose out on the rest of the summer on the lake.\u201cWe are die hard boaters out on the lake any chance we get and now we won\u2019t have a boat for the rest of the season because insurance is never quick,\u201d Stratton said.Stratton has a Facebook post circulating with details about the boat, hoping someone might see it and inform police.She added that she wanted to share her story to remind people to be vigilant and secure their belongings when possible.New boats come equipped with a security GPS, but Stratton said her boat did not have one.\u201cThe boat trailer was locked and they still managed to steal it,\u201d she said.\u201cHonestly, I\u2019ve heard other stories of people\u2019s boats and stuff being stolen but I never thought it would actually happen to us-and it did.\u201d The Canadian Press Quebec's top court will allow Just For Laughs founder Gilbert Rozon to challenge a class-action lawsuit brought against him by several women for alleged harassment and sexual assault.The Quebec Court of Appeal ruled today it will hear Rozon's legal challenge on a priority basis.The 63-year-old impresario is being sued for $10 million by a group of women known as ``Les Courageuses'' (``The Courageous Ones''), who allege he abused at least 20 women between 1982 and 2016.Aside from actress Patricia Tulasne, the lead plaintiff in the case, the women's identities have not been made public.The allegations against Rozon have yet to be tested in court and he has not been charged criminally.I\u2019ve been going to a lot of funerals lately, at least more than I am accustomed to.My dear mother, who is pushing 93 and possesses an undeterred sense of humour assures me \u201cIt\u2019s just a phase you\u2019re going through\u201d adding, \u201cI used to go to a lot of funerals too but hardly any anymore.Everybody I know is dead.\u201d This delightful topic came up at the latest meeting of the Lennoxville Genealogy and Ale Appreciation Society the other day, squeezed in between a discussion on hip replacement surgery and how to best deal with memory loss.It seems mother was right.Most of us, being of a certain age, have noticed an increase in the frequency of last rites for friends, neighbours and acquaintances.At the same time, it was also noted that the way we treat death has indeed undergone a change.Funerals at one time were a deeply personal affair with considerable family involvement whereas today, although the sense of grief remains, there is a much more casual attitude to these last rites and considerably more is left to the tender ministrations of the local funeral home.I well remember the death of my grandfather\u2019s older brother many years ago.The body was prepared by an undertaker but laid out for \u201cthe visitation\u201d in the parlour of the family home.After those wishing to pay their respects had viewed the corpse and spoken to the family, the coffin was carried by his sons across the road to the family cemetery where the service was held.After that, the guests returned to the house for refreshments and the boys filled in the grave.The very fact that it was an open casket funeral where friends and family could view the deceased would make it stand out today.Although common at the time, the next generation has opted more frequently for a closed coffin, if there is one at all, or for the even more common cremation where the deceased presence is reduced to an urn.The advantage here is that those attending the funeral are spared making any comment on the state of the deceased.Blurting out things like, \u201cOh my, doesn\u2019t he look good,\u201d or \u201cShe looks so peaceful\u201d may be high praise for the mortician but has always struck me as off the mark.Most bodies look dead.The truest comment I have ever heard concerning the state of the dearly departed once again goes back to my great-uncle\u2019s funeral.His life-long neighbour, who was in his late eighties at the time and suffering from poor eye sight, walked to the coffin, bent over only inches from my uncle\u2019s face and declared, \u201cYes, that\u2019s Harry.\u201d The thing is that here in Canada members of the next generation could conceivably go through their entire life without ever seeing an actual dead body.Barring a major military conflict or being the witness to a fatal road accident or even getting caught in one of insane random shootings that occur in our cities, the chances of facing death head on, so to speak, is increasingly rare.Mind you, that\u2019s a good thing.On the other hand, what it does do is remove the formality of death.What was once a necessary and celebrated ritual completing the cycle of birth, baptism, marriage and having children of your own has lost its sense of importance.Attending a funeral has become just another uncomfortable duty to be squeezed in between checking your texts and doing the groceries.The absence of an actual corpse has lent a casualness to the event that is reflected in the way we treat it.The sight of \u201cmourners\u201d arriving to pay their respects in everything from cut-off shorts to flip flops is now common.Tee shirts and jeans have become acceptable funeral wear and black is definitely out.Just the same, when the time comes, and it will, I\u2019ll opt for cremation.And by the way, if you want to attend the reception afterwards a jacket and tie would be nice.EDITORIAL Page 6 Thursday

quarterback Johnny Manziel under concussion protocol The Canadian Press Montreal Alouettes quarterback Johnny Manziel was placed under the CFL concussion protocol on Wednesday.He was rocked by a hit while trying to run the ball over the goal-line in a 24-17 loss in Ottawa last weekend in his second career CFL start.\u201cOn Tuesday morning, Johnny Manziel mentioned to our medical staff that he felt symptoms that could be associated with the prescribed medication he uses for a previously diagnosed medical condition,'' the Alouettes said in a statement.``He then missed practice in order to have some blood work done.\u201cIn view of the hit he received on Saturday and the potential mitigating side effects of his prescribed medication, the Alouettes medical staff has placed Manziel under the CFL concussion protocol for further observation and precautionary reasons.Manziel will be closely observed and assessed in the next few days.'' The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner struggled in his CFL debut but looked better against the Redblacks.He did fumble after taking the hit but Montreal recovered for the touchdown.The Alouettes are in Edmonton to face the Eskimos on Saturday night.Canada\u2019s Whalley Allstars ready to make noise at Little League World Series By Melissa Couto THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada is looking to make history at the Little League World Series in Pennsylvania this week by hoisting the tournament trophy for the first time.And Mike Marino, the head coach of Canada's representative this year in Williamsport _ the Whalley Major All- stars from Surrey, B.C._ believes he has the perfect team to do it.\u201cTo be honest we're pretty confident,'' Marino said Wednesday in a phone interview with The Canadian Press.\u201cI think we're ready to shock some people here, I really do.'' Canada, one of 16 teams battling for the prestigious Little League World Series title, opens play Friday against Latin American representative Panama.Whalley advanced to the annual international tournament by winning the Canadian championship last weekend in Mirabel, Que., going undefeated on a title run that was capped with an 11-0 mercy rule win over Nova Scotia on Saturday.The team arrived at the Little League complex in Williamsport _ described by Marino as ``like Disneyland on steroids for baseball people'' _ on Sunday night after an eight-hour bus trip from Montreal.They've spent a whirlwind week practising at the complex, doing interviews with ESPN, and going through scouting drills with the Baseball Factory.\u201cIt's funny because we don't really think they know the extent of how big this is,'' Marino said of the team's attitude heading into the tournament.\u201cThey're excited and it's awesome and they've got smiles on their faces all the time, but I really don't think they've realized yet what they've accomplished and where they are.'' Canada has appeared in every Little League World Series since 1952 (the tournament began in 1947), when a team from Montreal made the quarterfinals.A Stoney Creek, Ont., squad was runner- up in 1965 and two Canadian teams finished third _ one from Trail, B.C., in 1990 and one from Langley, B.C., in 1998 _ but those results pre-dated the two-bracket format introduced in 2001 that split U.Steams from international entries.The winners of both sides meet in the championship final.Last year's Canadian representative from White Rock, B.C., lost in the international semifinal.A team from Whal- ley also made the international semi in 2005.Marino said he doesn't know much about Panama's team, aside from a few stats and any preliminary info he's gained from sizing the Panamanians up in the hallways and dining hall at the tournament grounds.But he expects the level of competition in Williamsport to be stiffer than what Whalley is used to.\u201cI think more of these teams are like us.They don't just have one good pitcher, they have three or four.They don't have one or two guys who can hit the ball, the whole team can hit.Their quote-unquote bottom-end players would be starters on any other team,'' Marino said.\u201cWhen we're in provincials or nationals, seven or eight guys (on opposing teams) you might be able to just go right after them with fastballs and expect to get outs.I don't think you can expect that here.'' Marino called right-handed pitcher/outfielder Ian Huang, who throws up to 70-plus miles per hour, one of Canada's top players heading into the tournament.The Baseball Factory, which spends time scouting teams in Williamsport before the tournament, noted Huang's \u201cgreat mechanics'' and \u201cadvanced delivery'' in a report on their website.But Marino said it's his team's depth that's been most impressive.\u201cThat's how we've been so successful and that's what got us here,'' Marino said.\u201cWe're so talented 1 through 12, all of them.'' Whalley's national championship and trip to Williamsport is special for Marino on more than just the coaching level.He played for Whalley as a kid and his son Joey is the team's shortstop.Four other fathers of Whalley players also played for the organization in their youths.Marino's childhood teams never made it to Williamsport, failing to advance out of their own district finals in back-to- back years, but he said that lack of success makes him appreciate the current team's accomplishment even more.\u201cWe had dads in tears when we won (the Canadian championship), just crying like babies because they know how hard it is to get here,'' Marino said.``We tried to get here as kids.We know how hard it is to get of your district, and then out of provincials and then to win the national championship.\u201cWe've seen it all and played it all.We know how big this is.'' Montreal Impact Foundation Unveils Multisport Field At Parc Champdoré The Montreal Impact Foundation, in collaboration with the Villeray- Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension borough, inaugurated on Wednesday a new multisport mini-field at parc Champ- doré in the Saint-Michel neighbourhood, in the company of every Montreal Impact player and children from the Centre Lasallien de Saint-Michel day camp.\"The Montreal Impact Foundation gave itself an objective to build several multisport mini-fields in targeted neighbourhoods, in order to offer children the possibility to be active in a healthy and secure environment,\" said Mrs.Carmie Saputo, the Foundation's president.\"This field will benefit the young and old in this neighbourhood, who will be able to profit from the advantages of sport.\" \"In order to promote physical activity and sports, the City of Montreal must offer quality sports facilities to its citizens.That's why we're proud of our partnership with the Montreal Impact Foundation, which is offering us this multisport field.We're extremely happy that the children living in Villeray-Saint- Michel-Parc-Extension have a new field to play and have fun on, which contributes to the promotion of healthy lifestyles and social development,\" added Mrs.Rosannie Filato, Villeray district city councillor and member of the executive committee, responsible for social development, the community, homelessness, youth, women's affairs, and sports and recreation.\"Children from the day camp were able to exchange words with the Impact's first team players, sharing their passion for this sport with them.The neighbourhood's citizens will be able to take advantage of this new sports facility for years,\" said Mr.Frantz Benjamin, city councillor for the Saint-Michel district.The Foundation has assumed all of the field's construction costs of more than $200,000, including the installation of the surface, the nets, and a fence delimiting the playing area.

stools that are bulky, foul-smelling and float; and poor absorption of vitamins and nutrients.The ultimate result can be anemia, weight loss, nerve dysfunction and osteoporosis.Today, we\u2019ve realized that the prevalence of celiac disease is much greater than initially thought because many patients have milder symptoms, such as fatigue and generally loose stools.Your grandson probably suffered for months prior to his diagnosis because his symptoms were mild.In less-debilitating forms of the illness, symptoms can be either misdiagnosed or not severe enough to push someone to seek medical attention.Regardless of severity, however, celiac disease can be addressed.The cornerstone of treatment is removing gluten from the diet.That means avoiding wheat, rye and barley, which are in a surprising number of foods \u2014 not just breads, pastas, crackers and snacks, but also sauces, vinegars, salad dressings, marinades, seasonings, soup stocks, soy sauces, and even beers, ales and lagers.For that reason, anyone with celiac disease should carefully read the labels of all prepared foods and condiments that they consume.Although such restrictions can make going out to restaurants more difficult \u2014 and potentially affect a person\u2019s ability to socialize \u2014 the health benefits outweigh the difficulties.On the plus side, many condiments and beers are increasingly available without gluten, as are breads and pastas.The latter foods are made with quinoa, tapioca, rice, soybeans or buckwheat, all of which are safe to eat.In fact, over the past 20 years, a whole industry has developed to cater to people who are intolerant to gluten, and many restaurants now provide gluten-free options as well.In 70 percent of patients with celiac disease, following a gluten-free diet leads to a reduction in symptoms within two weeks, and levels of inflammatory antibodies decline substantially after six weeks.Among people who continue to have symptoms, 90 percent either don\u2019t adhere properly to a gluten-free diet, or they consume foods they mistakenly believe are gluten-free.For those who are strict about a gluten- free diet but still have severe symptoms, oral steroids or other medications to suppress the immune system can relieve symptoms.Your grandson is probably already seeing a gas- troenterologist who is monitoring his symptoms and evaluating him for nutritional deficiencies, but he also should consult a nutritionist to review the types of foods and drinks he is consuming.With a gluten-free diet, he should be feeling better soon.Robert Ashley, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.Going gluten-free brings relief to those with celiac disease THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 2018 Dear Annie: I am married to a man with two children from a previous marriage.They are adults.My husband is 15 years my senior, and he married early the first time, so long story short, his children are only four and six years younger than I am.The problem is with his daughter.She really doesn\u2019t have much of a social life and because of that spends much of her spare time at our house.This summer, she has been at our house seven days a week.She had vacation from work for three weeks and spent the entire time here.One of my biggest complaints is the lack of boundaries.She helps herself to whatever she wants without asking, comes in and out, and follows her father around.She generally arrives here in the early afternoon, when I have just gotten home from my first job and have two hours before going to my second job.When I get home at 9 p.m.or later, she is still here! Sometimes she\u2019s here when I arrive even when my husband isn\u2019t home.I am feeling suffocated, and the lack of privacy for me is driving me crazy.I feel it\u2019s disrespectful on her part and on my husband\u2019s part.I don\u2019t think it is fair to me to have a grown woman (54 years old) spending so much time here.It is weighing on me and, frankly, on my marriage.I have to tread lightly because she takes everything personally, and my husband says she\u2019s fragile, so everyone needs to be nice.How do I get this to stop?I am ready to leave, honestly.It\u2019s gone on for so long I am afraid I should have confronted the situation before it got to this point, but it\u2019s not easy to talk to a father about his child.Please help me sort this out before I explode! \u2014 Had Enough of the Helicopter Child Dear Had Enough: You are wise to tread lightly.It is probably difficult for your husband to face the fact that his 54- year-old daughter does not have a life of her own and spends almost all of her time with her father.Tell your husband how you feel.All couples need alone time, and you are not getting any with a roommate, especially one who is still so tied to her father.Cutting the cord slowly will benefit your stepdaughter, your husband, you and ultimately your marriage.The trick is to communicate with all parties involved, set the boundaries that you know are necessary and welcome her warmly when she visits according to the schedule you all agree upon.Dear Annie: In regard to the letter about the pronunciation of the years since 2000, it didn\u2019t flow off the tongue easily to say, for example, \u201ctwenty oh two\u201d for 2002, so we started saying \u201ctwo thousand two.\u201d Come to think of it, it probably originated long before the turn of the century.It may date back to the book and movie \u201c2001: A Space Odyssey.\u201d Everyone pronounced it \u201ctwo thousand one.\u201d People just became accustomed to saying it that way, and even though we have moved on to the teen years and it is actually easier to say \u201ctwenty eighteen\u201d now, many people still say it the \u201cthousand\u201d way.\u2014 Baby Boomer Dear Baby Boomer: I never considered that Stanley Kubrick may have something to do with it, but that\u2019s an interesting theory.Thanks for writing.Dear Annie: I hope you can offer a solution to my dilemma.Over the Fourth of July, I hosted a party at my riverfront home.Most of the guests were my son\u2019s friends, whom I get along with, and I am always happy when they bring their kids, because then my grandbabies have little ones to play with.My issue is that for the past few years at my party, one couple, \u201cJohn\u201d and \u201cCynthia,\u201d always invite and bring additional people whom I either don\u2019t know or don\u2019t particularly care for.They do this without asking me ahead of time.This year, John and Cynthia brought a couple with a baby whom I had never met before.They all pitched tents in my yard and spent the night without even asking! Later in the afternoon, John\u2019s brother, sister-in-law and niece also showed up without being invited.John, Cynthia and the couples they brought with them didn\u2019t leave until late the next day, leaving dirty diapers in my garbage.They even started searching for leftovers in the fridge.(There weren\u2019t any because of all the additional uninvited people.) It was all I could do to hold my tongue.I had asked my son to speak to them about this issue.Apparently, he neglected to do that because he is afraid they would just say they won\u2019t come.That would be fine with me, except for wanting my grandkids to have more playmates.The general opinion seems to be that it is incredibly rude and inconsiderate to do this.How do I prevent this from happening again without having them flip out and just refuse to come next time?Even after a month, I am still fuming about it.\u2014 Blindsided Dear Blindsided: Your yard is not a campground, even though John and Cynthia are treating it as such.Actually, they\u2019re more like bears at the park dumpster \u2014 raiding your food and leaving a mess.If I were you, I probably wouldn\u2019t even invite them back next year.But if you do, expressly state that the invitation is just for the two of them and their children.If they \u201cflip out\u201d at that and refuse to come, you\u2019re better off.If John and Cynthia are raising their children to be anything like them, you probably don\u2019t want them influencing your grandkids anyway.Dear Annie: This is in response to \u201cI Knew Better,\u201d who is deeply ashamed for sleeping with someone.I\u2019d like to address the faith part a little bit more and speak directly to her.\u201cKnew Better\u201d: You did something against your faith.Period.You stopped.With your faith, do you believe you can be forgiven but you can\u2019t forgive yourself?You are putting your faith in a very small box.Open up and let the freedom of your forgiveness flow, because conviction of wrongdoing comes from your faith.Condemnation does not come with your faith.You may \u201cfeel\u201d shame, but you are much more than this one instance.Stand up like the princess you are!

Enjoy! Menu Suggestion Field greens salad Rotisserie chicken, strawberries, tomatoes and Havarti Sweet Onion Salad Dressing Sweet Onion Salad Dressing Start to finish: 15 minutes, plus cooling time Yield: makes about 1 1/3 cups 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia, Maui, etc.3/4 cup vegetable oil, divided use 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, divided use 1/4 cup honey 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Saute onion in 1 tablespoon hot oil in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often, for about 8 minutes or until light gold.Add 2 tablespoons vinegar, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of skillet.Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes.Transfer the onions and any liquids to a blender or food processor.Add remaining vinegar, honey, mayonnaise, salt and pepper.Pulse to mix and blend.With the motor running, drizzle the remaining oil through the opening in a thin stream until all oil is added and salad dressing is well blended.Cover and chill for 3 to 24 hours before serving.Approximate values per tablespoon: 128 calories, 12 g fat (2 g saturated), no cholesterol, trace g protein, 6 g carbohydrates, no dietary fiber, 5.2 g sugar, 90 mg sodium.Alicia Ross is the co-author of \"Desperation Dinners!\" (Workman, 1997), \"Desperation Entertaining!\" (Workman, 2002) and \"Cheap.Fast.Good!\" (Workman, 2006).Homemade sweet onion dressing makes dinner salad sing!

Unless you are playing in a duplicate pairs event, whether you go down one or two makes little difference \u2014 only 50 or 100 points, assuming you aren\u2019t doubled.But if you go down one when you could have made your contract, that is much more expensive.As declarer in a trump contract, count your potential losers.If you can see too many, try to find a way to eliminate one or two.How does that apply in this deal?South is in four spades, so he can afford only three losers.After West leads the club queen, what should declarer do?Some declarers will take the first trick and play a trump to East\u2019s ace.However, after East returns his second club, and South wins, draws the missing trump and plays a heart to dummy\u2019s queen, East takes that trick and leads a diamond.West wins with his ace and cashes the club jack to defeat the contract.Declarer should have seen the danger and realized that he was always safe as long as West had either the heart jack or heart king, and there was no bad heart split.At trick two, South should lead the heart 10 and overtake with dummy\u2019s queen.If the finesse wins, declarer draws trumps as quickly as possible.Here, though, it loses and East plays back his remaining club.South wins and plays the heart six to dummy\u2019s nine.When a finesse finally wins, declarer discards his remaining club on the heart ace, then turns to trumps."]
