Meeting spot Participants are asked to gather at La Grenouillère parking lot in downtown Sherbrooke at 8 a.m.The cleanup will continue until noon.CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 Ben by Daniel Shelton Page 2

species?Do you wonder why the hummingbirds seem so hungry at this time of the year?Why did a flock of small yellow birds appear in your garden for just a week in the spring?If you would like answers to these or similar questions, you should consider joining the St.Francis Valley Naturalists\u2019 Club (SFVNC).For over sixty years, members of the SFVNC have promoted public interest in nature, awareness of local wildlife and the importance of protecting habitats.The club holds monthly meetings and invites guests to talk on a wide variety of topics such as local initiatives for habitat restoration, research on specific animals, nature travel, climate change, and ecology.At each meeting, members can mention their recent bird and wildlife sightings as well as local environmental issues of concern.Many members get involved in citizen science projects through their participation in regular bird counts that are carried out in collaboration with organizations such as Regroupement Québec Oiseaux, Bird Studies Canada, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.The SFVNC is active in the protection of endangered species such as chimney swifts.For over twenty-five years, an important role of the club has been to provide significant financial assistance to a special science program produced by \u201cEarthvalues Institute\u201d.This activity is designed to stimulate interest in sciences and the local environment at twelve elementary schools of the Eastern Townships School Board.Recently, with the help of the SFVNC and Dawson College, the Cookshire Elementary School\u2019s program blossomed into the \u201cLiving School Project\u201d.In May and June each year, the SFVNC organizes walks to help people enjoy the spring arrival of migratory birds.There are always experts in the group to show newcomers how to recognize birds by their plumage, songs, and habitat.This is also a time to enjoy spring foliage and flowers such as trilliums and lady slippers.Past excursions have included visits to l\u2019Île du marais in Katevale, Kingdom Road trails, Burbank Pond in Danville, Johnville Bog, and Curry Pond at Bishop\u2019s University.Club members have also accompanied groups from the Beaver Scouts and elementary schools on nature outings.The SFVNC publishes its activities on a Facebook page (listed as St.Francis Valley Naturalists\u2019 Club) which provides updated information on the club\u2019s activities as well as some general posts of interest to naturalists and birders.Membership is $20 a year for an individual and $25 for a family.We welcome new members of all ages.Please join us this fall for the following monthly meetings at the Amédée Beaudoin Community Centre in Lennoxville.Presentations are in English, although questions in French are welcome.There is no entrance fee and meetings are open to all.Sept 26: \u201cLiving Schools Project\u201d- Chris Adams & Tina Jacklin.October 24: \u201cWildlife and Woodlore\u201d- Jim Ferrier.November 28:

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Parti Quebecois commits to being \u201cthe party of the regions\u201d at Sherbrooke launch By Gordon Lambie Six of the seven Eastern Townships Candidates for the Parti Quebecois were in Sherbrooke on Tuesday morning to outline their local goals in the lead up to the provincial election on October 1.Guillaume Rousseau, representing Sherbrooke, Andreanne Larouche from Brome-Missisquoi, Veronique Vigneault of Richmond , Solange Masson from Saint-Francois, Gloriane Blais of Megantic and Maxime Leclerc from Orford each took the time to present their own area of focus in a three branched plan aimed at living, working, and making decisions in areas outside of Quebec\u2019s major metropolitan centres.\u201cWe want give the power back to the regions, so they can take back control of their own development,\u201d Vigneault said.The PQ plan for the Townships revolves around three focus areas that are broken down into subsections for party representatives to focus on.The first section, entitled \u201cworking in the regions,\u201d contains the focus areas of the economy and local agriculture.The second section, called \u201cliving in the regions\u201d focuses on sustainable mass transit options (including strong support for the Montreal-Sherbrooke-Boston train project), as well as initiatives for improving healthcare, plans to support the local environment through opposition to the Coventry dump site and support for local waterways, and new measures for young families with children in subsidized daycares.Section three, \u201cmaking decisions in the regions,\u201d proposes the creation of a new support structure for local farmers, improvements to the budget of the culture and communications ministry, and the re-establishment of a Townships-based immigration bureau.Although all aiming to be elected in their respective ridings, the candidates underlined their ability and intention to work as a team to make what they called realistic, achievable objectives a reality.GORDON LAMBIE Eastern Townships Parti Quebecois candidates Guillaume Rousseau, Andreanne Larouche, Veronique Vigneault, Solange Masson, Gloriane Blais, and Maxime Leclerc got together in Sherbrooke Tuesday morning to announce their campaign priorities in this fall's election.Côté launches campaign in Saint-François Record Staff SHERBROOKE Saint-François Québec Solidaire (QS) candidate Kévin Côté outlined the main themes of his candidacy in front of some fifty citizens at the Micro- brasserie Coaticook Friday as part of his campaign launch.Côté presented the main themes of the QS campaign, as well as the party's proposals to address local issues in the constituency.Côté says he intends to make the defense of agriculture one of his local priorities.\"Several of Québec Solidaire's proposals are aimed at the rural world, especially everything related to food sovereignty.One of my priorities is to talk about a distribution network for local and, ideally, organic products to promote local commerce,\u201d he said.\u201cStrong political will is needed to support what is being done here.Government institutions must lead by example in local consumption.[.] It is not normal that we serve products from the other side of the world in our schools and hospitals.We have everything we need locally and we have plenty of quality producers here in Saint-François.\" The candidate also touched on some of the flagship measures presented by the party including universal dental insurance, an energy transition plan, free education at all levels, and Quebec sovereignty \"In Quebec solidaire, we do not offer à la carte promises, developed to fit the flavour of the day, according to the results of polls,\u201d the candidate said.\u201cWhat we propose has been reflected on by members and discussed in congress.We have arrived at a social project and we have remained faithful to our ideals since our founding in 2006.\" Côté ended his remarks by reminding the audience that his goal, on October 1, is to become the first elected QS member of the National Assembly from the riding of Saint-François.\"On October 1, I am ready to go to work alongside Manon Massé and QS members.On October 1st, I'm ready to win.\u201d Côté also reiterated Quebec Solidaire's commitments regarding its support of the supply management system and pledged to firmly defend the farmers of Saint-François.CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 He\u2019s sitting at $97,593.80 at the moment, according to his spreadsheet, which has the details of every amount Kelly has raised for different causes since 2002.Oh, and in case it wasn\u2019t obvious by the name, the bulk of Kelly\u2019s fundraising happens through the collection of cans and bottles, averaging a dime at a time.It all started in 2002 when a friend\u2019s granddaughter, who was a member of the Canadian National Trampoline team, was raising money for a trip to go to a competition in Australia.Kelly decided to do a bottle and can collection and managed to raise $204 in a short period of time.He continued collecting for the rest of the year and raised an additional $700, which he decided to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation.His grand total given to Terry Fox since 2002 is now $52,488.60.Kelly currently divides his donations by supporting four main organizations in three-month increments throughout the year; The Terry Fox Foundation, Wales Home Foundation, Camp d\u2019Action Bibilque de Richmond, and Township- pers\u2019 Foundation.He collects bottles and cans from key drop-off points (Townshippers\u2019 Association office in Lennoxville, under Bev Taber Smith\u2019s deck in Richmond) and makes house calls for big collections.While he supports four main charities, over his 16 years of collecting, Kelly has seen a need and diverted his attention to help 47 other organizations.In 2010, Kelly donated $123.90 to the CFUW Grannies for Grannies; In 2007, $157 for Gunter\u2019s house fire; in 2005, he gave $193 to the Richmond 4H club; in 2013, $1,025 for Lac Megantic, to name a few.Just drops in the bucket, maybe, but over time, Kelly\u2019s donations here and there have added up to way more than he ever planned.\u201cThe other day I happened to take a look,\u201d Kelly said.\u201cAnd I mentioned it to a few people.They found it hard to believe.\u201d \u201cI wish I could save that much myself, too,\u201d Kelly joked.By the time the Terry fox run happens on Sept.16, Kelly expects to be well over $100,000 fundraising milestone.And what will happen then?\u201cI won\u2019t stop,\u201d Kelly replied, explaining that once October rolls around he will take off his Terry Fox hat, put on his Wales Home Foundation hat, and continue collecting cans and bottles.\u201cThe main thing is helping out worthy causes,\u201d Kelly said.\u201cI\u2019m fortunate to have good health to be able to do this,\u201d he added.\u201cIt also keeps me in contact with people, so there\u2019s a social part as well,\u201d Kelly said.A friend pointed out that if Kelly weren\u2019t colleting, there would probably be a lot more cans and bottles ending up in landfills in the Townships, so he\u2019s helping the environment too! While Kelly has built up his collection efforts into a well-running fundraising machine, he credits the ongoing support of locals, who have been helping collect for years.\u201cIf they didn\u2019t support me, we would- n\u2019t have raised all that money,\u201d Kelly said.\u201cIt\u2019s team work, and I\u2019ve got hundreds of people on my team.\u201d Kelly is still collecting for the Terry Fox Foundation for the next few weeks.He also sells Terry Fox t-shirts to raise additional funds.Anyone interested in helping Kelly cross the $100,000 mark can bring their refundable cans and bottles to Town- shippers\u2019 Association office in Lennoxville at 257 Queen Street, place them under Bev Taber Smith\u2019s deck in Richmond (with your name taped to the bag for a tax receipt), or email Kelly at joebk@videotron.ca to find out how to donate.King Kan Kelly Ihave some great news to share.Last week, I admit, I forgot it was Tuesday and therefore, I did not write my Pet Page Tuesday morning; which I do early in the mornings before heading to work.So, I told the paper to go ahead and reprint the page that we had run the week before.On it was a few of our cats who have been with us for a long time, over a year most of them.Well, let me say, that reprinting the page, out of my forgetfulness, was a God send.On the very same morning last week, two separate families came in and asked to visit with Poe; our older female tabby that does not like other cats at all, and Squirt, our older calico who also preferred a home without cats.BOTH cats left on a sleepover and later were confirmed adoptions.It was a joyous day for us since both girls are so loving and so intelligent, but needed a home without any other cats, which has been very difficult to find.Wishing all our best to our older girls in their new families.Not all animals are going to be perfect for every single family, some will have likes and dislikes and all need to find families that will respect their needs.This week I am going to run some of our dogs who also have special needs and hopefully we can find them a good home like Squirt and Poe.This page is provided by Blue Seal - The Animal Nutrition Centre and The Pet Connection.\u2022 G R O O M I N G Our professional team\u2019s #1 priority is to pamper your pet Grooming your pet is an important part of his overall care Hershey is a ready to go

Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Wednesday , September 5, 2018 Page 5 Round Barn Rehabilitation Project Receives $210,000 grant from Department of Canadian Heritage It is with great enthusiasm and joy that the Municipality of the Township of Potton and the Potton Municipal Volunteer Group (GBMP) learned last Thursday that the grant jointly requested by the group to the Department of Canadian Heritage was approved and they will receive $ 210,000, which corresponds to the amount requested for the restoration of the Round Barn in Man- sonville.This $ 210,000 will be added to the funds collected by the GBMP since 2013, to reach a total of $ 383,000: - $ 93,000: donations from the public and businesses including a $7500 contribution from NexKemia Petrochemicals, during the 2013 and 2017 fundraising campaigns, - $ 10,000 donation from Destination Owl's Head, new owners of the resort, - $ 40,000: conditional grant from the Memphrémagog RCM in 2017 (Territorial Development Fund, FDT) and - $ 30,000: conditional commitment from the Municipality of the Township of Pot- ton.The allocation of the last two sums was conditional on obtaining another grant, which is now done.The Village's Round Barn Rehabilitation Project is transforming the Village Barn into a Potton Township Historical and Heritage Center.The project includes the following: a new foundation, floor reinforcement, window and door repair and replacement and roof repairs, and the cost was estimated at $ 427,000.Thanks to the grant from Canadian Heritage, the project funding is almost complete.The GBMP hopes that restoration work can begin in the fall of 2018, but will most likely occur in the spring and summer of 2019, as the Township of Pot- ton, owner of the round barn, will be required to request offers and bids for the work to be completed.The Center will be able to open its doors in the summer of 2020 to present a permanent exhibition, including a visit to the round barn and a description of the operation of this type of barn; allowing the Heritage Association to once again present its annual thematic exhibitions, as it did from 2012 to 2016.The GBMP shares that this is great news in addition to the recent sale of Owl's Head Resort believing that these two projects will stimulate the economic, social and cultural life of the township.The Canadian Heritage states in its letter that it is proud to promote the rich linguistic and cultural diversity as well as artistic and heritage sectors of the country.Thanking all involved in this initiative for contributing in sharing our stories and to build a strong and inclusive Canada.Mable Hastings The Scoop COURTESY Another successful year at Brome Fair By Claudia Villemaire In spite of threatening skies, dire warnings of heavy rain and thunder storms, once again Brome Fair organizers, together with generous sponsors and dedicated volunteers can chalk up another successful run, the 162nd Brome Fair.With increased entries in dairy and beef cattle sections, folks turning out for the grand parade weren\u2019t disappointed.Light horses caught the attention of the hobby farmers in the crowd admiring and dreaming of the day when they too could have a saddle horse or two or perhaps a roadster that would make light work of a buggy filled with a family.This year's new approach to crowd management with additional activities for children in the centerfield together with the introduction of the mini acoustic stage near the horse stables attracted more folks away from the traditionally congested areas near the grandstand.More diversified food concessions, re-located around the grounds, more shade trees, benches and picnic tables all contributed to making the trek around a large fairground less tiresome and actually, more welcoming.Attendance figures are not yet finalized but estimates reach 40,000 more or less, with rain on Friday and Monday affecting final numbers.But Brome County Agriculture Society President Jean Royea's enthusiasm for her favorite county fair couldn't be extinguished by a little rain.\"I am so grateful for the work the team of directors, and volunteers have done this year.And the generosity and encouragement of sponsors and supporters is outstanding.But a very special thank you goes to all the volunteers who have been showing up here all summer, ready to help get everything ready for the fair.And certainly we couldn\u2019t miss thanking the exhibitors, some of whom are third generations of families who have a long history of exhibiting and helping as well with this event.Finally, all of this would be worth nothing without the support of the public - many thanks to one and all.\u201d PHOTOS BY CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE By Michael von Massow Associate Professor, Food Economics, University of Guelph Negotiations for a revised North American Free Trade Agreement have been ongoing for more than a year, but now it\u2019s crunch time \u2014 especially for Canada.What happens in the coming days will determine if NAFTA survives as a three-country trade pact or whether Canada will be left on the sidelines.Since U.S.President Donald Trump announced the United States had a deal with Mexico that could replace NAFTA, Canadian negotiators have been putting on a brave face publicly.Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland was opti- misitc when talks took a break before the Labour Day weekend and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said \u201cno NAFTA deal is better than a bad NAFTA deal.\u201d Trump, for his part, took to Twitter to keep up the pressure on Canada.There are two significant issues still on the table: How to resolve inevitable trade disputes and Canada\u2019s policies that protect its dairy industry from foreign competition.How will disputes be resolved?The first sticking point is the existing dispute settlement mechanism \u2014 particularly relative to anti-dumping or countervailing duties.This is known as Chapter 19 in the current NAFTA pact.Currently, each government can review the actions of others and make a determination of whether trade action against a sector is warranted.These determinations can be appealed to the relevant court in each country.If the dispute is not resolved, it can be appealed to the NAFTA Free Trade Commission and further to a bilateral panel to arbitrate the dispute.The panellists (two from each country and an alternating chair) are appointed by the disputants.The decisions of these panels are binding.It is this last provision that apparently is the sticking point for U.S.negotiators.It is worth noting this aversion to dispute resolution is not specific to the Trump administration.When the original Canada-U.S.free trade agreement was negotiated 30 years ago, Brian Mulroney\u2019s Conservative government also threatened to walk away without a deal over the issue on how to resolve disputes.In 1988, U.S.negotiators only conceded at the 11th hour.Leave it to the courts The United States believes domestic court systems should be able to effectively determine the legality of specific actions and, as such, these panels are an affront to national sovereignty.Canada feels Chapter 19 is an essential element to ensure the fair implementation of freer trade.Those who believe the panels are not necessary or effective point to the fact that Canada has won several findings in the softwood lumber dispute without actually getting a positive resolution.Past U.S.administrations have also ignored panel findings and forced the Canadians to strike compromise deals or face continued countervailing duties.The U.Slumber industry remains one of the most vocal opponents of these dispute settlement panels.But others in all three countries argue the panels are an essential protection despite not being frequently used in the past 10 years.There is little sign of bias because these panel findings are frequently unanimous.In the end, there will be a mechanism to resolve disputes.Canada will have to decide whether retaining the panels is worth not making a deal.The U.S.will have to decide how far it wants to go on making concessions, balancing its desire for more sovereignty with the political reality of striking a deal that Congress will approve \u2014 a critical step in the final implementation of any new agreement.Canada\u2019s dairy policies a major issue Canada\u2019s supply management system uses quotas supported by tariffs to stabilize its dairy markets.Many countries have support programs for agriculture generally and the dairy market specifically.While there is some criticism within Canada of supply management \u2014 most notably Maxime Bernier\u2019s split from the Conservatives \u2014 there is strong support among both the Liberal government and the opposition Conservatives for protecting the dairy industry.Access to the Canadian dairy market has been somewhat of an irritant in past trade negotiations.From the beginning, supply-managed commodities were protected by tariffs, but some product has been allowed in (based on historical import shares) using import quotas.Products coming in under these import quotas are not subject to the high tariffs.The U.S.also uses import quotas and high tariffs to protect its dairy and other industries.Canada has opened access for others As part of other new trade agreements, Canada has provided additional access (through import quotas) to the market.The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union provided for additional access for European dairy products.The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement also had provisions for additional market access \u2014 including the U.S.market, until the Trump administration withdrew from TPP.Dairy became a specific irritant early in the Trump administration.Shifting demand for milk components meant surpluses for milk protein, used to create a product called diafil- tered milk.Because it\u2019s a new product, U.S.diafiltered milk is not covered under previous trade agreements.This meant it could come in to Canadian processors, particularly cheese manufacturers, tariff-free.In retaliation, Canadian milk protein producers first lobbied the government for protection and when none was forthcoming, changed pricing to protect their market.That in turn caused disruption in some U.S.markets \u2014 particularly in Wisconsin, an important state for Trump politically.Even with the decreased volume in di- afiltered milk, the U.S.still has an export surplus with Canada in dairy products.Regardless, it appears that this issue is a particular irritant for Trump.Over-production, low prices The U.S.dairy industry, like many others around the world, is struggling with over-production and low prices.The U.S.also has a number of programs in place to support the dairy industry, which would need to be taken into consideration in any NAFTA negotiations around dairy trade.The irony is the structure of some of the U.S.dairy support programs may actually be contributing to the over-pro- duction \u2014 surplus products are bought to support prices, which sends a signal to keep producing too much.Completely open trade with Canada will not solve the issues facing the U.S.dairy industry, not least because the Canadian market is much smaller than the U.S.domestic market.In the end, Canada is unlikely to yield on supply management.If a concession is made, it is likely to be in increased access.Canada had already provided an increase in access in the TPP negotiations.This would seem to be an area of potential concession that would provide Trump with a \u201cwin\u201d for farmers and allow the Canadians to sustain their domestic program.It would not be without pain for the Canadian industry, but may be the path to an agreement.The final chapter of these lengthy NAFTA talks will come down to one key point: Is compromise possible?Michael von Massow does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.EDITORIAL Page 6 Wednesday , September 5, 2018 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Those who believe the panels are not necessary or effective point

QCNA RECORD THE The Canadian Press Canada's top four tennis players and a retiring doubles standout have been selected to represent the country in a Davis Cup tie against the Netherlands next month.Team captain Frank Dancevic picked Milos Raonic, Denis Shapovalov, Vasek Pospisil, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Daniel Nestor, who is retiring this fall, to the squad for the Sept.14-16 indoor tie at Coca-Cola Coliseum.``This is an important tie for us as we are hoping to maintain our place in the World Group for next year,'' Dancevic said in a statement.``We believe that we belong among the elite nations and that we can aspire to win the Davis Cup trophy in the near future.To get there, we need to continue to work as a team and to build on our foundation that is already quite

forward to competing in front of the fans in Toronto.''

The Senators finished second-last in the NHL last season after reaching Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final in 2017.During the lousy season, they also had several off-ice issues pop up.Owner Eugene Melnyk drew heated criticism for saying the team could move if attendance didn't pick up.There also has been constant speculation about captain Erik Karlsson's future with the squad, which only picked up when his wife filed an order of protection against former teammate Mike Hoffman's fiancee for alleged cyberbullying.Meanwhile, assistant general manager Randy Lee resigned this summer after being accused of harassment in Buffalo.Duchene, however, said the off-ice issues weren't that big a factor in the team's tumble.``Honestly, probably not as much as you would think,'' said Duchene, who was acquired in a three-team trade last October.``Last year just got away from us for a lot of reasons and we're looking to right those this year.``We've got to just forget about it .It doesn't matter, it's over, it's in the past.Learn from it, obviously.We'll have a better culture in the locker room this year and it starts with the older guys leading the way and obviously we're probably going to have a little bit younger team and that will bring a lot of youth and exuberance to our team and that will be fun.'' While Karlsson has been the subject of numerous trade rumours, Duchene also is entering the final year of his contract.``I'm just concerned with having a good start to the season,'' said Duchene, who had 27 goals and 59 points last season.``I haven't really thought about it, honest to God, I'm just excited to be back with the guys.We have a really good group and I think we can have a good start to the season.A lot of people are writing us off, but I don't see it that way.I think we have a lot of talent and a lot of guys that are willing to work together and have fun doing it.'' Duchene said he spoke with Senators general manager Pierre Dorion spoke this summer and is hopeful a deal can be reached.``I'd love for it to work out.Obviously it's my home province, three hours from home, Canadian city, it's a great situation for me so it would be awesome if things could work out that's for sure,'' Duchene said.This will be Duchene's first training camp with Ottawa after spending the past eight seasons with the Colorado Avalanche.``It's weird,'' Duchene said.``I was in Denver right before.We do a camp up in Vail every fall and I was up there last week, we still have our house there, my wife's from there so we were spending some time and we just kept saying how weird it was that we were coming up here.It's good weird though.It's an exciting opportunity and another new experience for me.''

Death Death Death ASK THE DOCTORS By Eve Glazier, M.D., and Elizabeth Ko, M.D.Dear Doctor: I\u2019m 55 years old and am going through menopause.My grandmother had osteoporosis and so does my mother, so I\u2019m worried.My dad read that probiotics can help, which sounds a little nutty.What on earth do a bunch of bacteria have to do with your bones?Dear Reader: Although our skeletons have taken on their final size and shape once we reach adulthood, bones are living tissue continuously undergoing change.This occurs in a process known as remodeling, which is cellular activity in which old bone is removed and new bone grows in its place.Remodeling continues throughout our lifetimes and, (fun fact) in the process, most of the adult skeleton is replaced by new growth every decade.However, as we age, the removal of bone happens more quickly than replacement.Other factors \u2014 like hormonal changes that come with menopause, being sedentary, inadequate diet, certain medical conditions and smoking \u2014 are also associated with a decrease in bone mass and strength.This net loss of skeletal mass, known as osteoporosis, results in such structural abnormalities as increased porosity and thinning of the bones, which make them weaker and more fragile.People with osteoporosis are at increased risk of stooped posture, loss of overall height, fractured or collapsed vertebrae, and fractures or breaks due to even a minor fall.Although there is no cure at this time, medications, hormone therapy and some lifestyle changes have been shown to slow the rate of bone loss and to lower the risk of fracture.But now \u2014 and maybe this is what your dad is referring to \u2014 a new study puts forth the possibility that certain probiotic supplements may help balance the bone loss/bone growth equation in people with osteoporosis.According to the results of the study, which were published in June in the Journal of Internal Medicine, the bacterium Lactobacillus reuteri reduced bone loss in older women diagnosed with low bone mineral density.Researchers measured the bone density of 90 women ages 75 to 80, all of them in good health but with low bone mineral density.The women were then randomly assigned to two groups.One group took a twice-daily supplement of freeze-dried Lactobacillus reuteri, which is a strain of lactic acid bacteria.The other group was given a placebo.None of the women knew which group they had been assigned to.After a year, the bone density in the shins of all of the study participants was measured again.It turned out that the women taking the probiotic supplement experienced half as much bone loss during that year as did the women in the placebo group.And while that\u2019s a rather remarkable outcome, the authors of the study have a few words of caution.First, since this is the first human study of its kind, the data set is quite small.And second, the specific reasons behind the outcome of the study are not yet understood.Still, the results are promising enough to ensure new and expanded studies.They add to both the interest in and the promise of the gut microbiome as a potential therapeutic target.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an

reconnected with at our 50th high school class reunion.While he was courting me, he seemed perfect.He spent money on me, bought loving cards, bought flowers, took me to restaurants and fancy hotels.You get the picture.He continued to court me until I agreed to marry him.It wasn\u2019t too long after we married that I noticed him getting up in the night to watch TV.When I would enter the room, he would switch channels.I got wise and started checking the \u201crecently viewed\u201d section and saw that he\u2019s watching porn.I called him out on it, but he doesn\u2019t seem to think it\u2019s any big thing.I think it is horrible, and I was raised to think it is sinful.I\u2019m hurt, but what am I to do?He also started buying me airplane tickets to go visit my elderly mother, saying he wishes he had visited with his own mom more while she was alive.But I got wise again and shared his phone location with mine and saw that as soon as he dropped me off at the airport, he drove straight to a strip club, where he spent several hours.When I returned home and asked him about the most recent time he had gone to a strip club, he got defensive and wondered why I would bring that up.I told him I was curious, and he then lied to me and told me it was in the 1980s.Next, I found out that he had sneaked money out of our safe while I was gone.When I asked him about it, he lied again and said he hadn\u2019t.When I told him I had counted the money and some was gone, he got very defensive and said he had just wanted money to spend while I was gone and had- n\u2019t wanted to keep receipts so I wouldn\u2019t know where he had spent money.This guy is very tight with his money now that we are married.He writes down every penny I spend.I have to give him all my receipts.On our anniversary, he gave me a used card.No more fancy cards or flowery words, nothing.I am hurt and wonder what I should do.Do you have any suggestions for me?\u2014 In a Quandary Dear In a Quandary: This man worked some mean magic \u2014 projecting the image of a charming, thoughtful, affectionate partner and marrying you before you had the chance to realize that was a mirage.This is just year one; who knows what other sordid tricks he\u2019s got up his sleeve?The surest way out of this quandary is to get out of this marriage.If you want to try to make it work, you two will need couples counseling, and he needs to be willing to seek help for what seems to be a sex addiction.You might benefit from going to a meeting of S-Anon, for the friends and family of people with sex addictions

instead, we used dried wavy lasagna noodles, which gave the lasagna better structure, and briefly soaked them in boiling water before building the lasagna.Staggering the placement of the noodles in the dish instead of lining them up parallel to one another kept the lasagna level.Do not substitute no- boil noodles for regular noodles, as they are too thin.LASAGNA WITH RAGU ALLA BOLOGNESE Servings: 10-12 Start to finish: 2 hours 14 curly-edged lasagna noodles 8 ounces (1 cup) cottage cheese 6 1/2 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese, grated (3 1/4 cups) 1 cup heavy cream 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon pepper 3 cups Ragu alla Bolognese (recipe follows), room temperature 2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil Lay noodles in 13-by 9-inch baking dish and cover with boiling water.Let noodles soak until pliable, about 15 minutes, separating noodles with tip of paring knife to prevent sticking.Place dish in sink, pour off water, and run cold water over noodles.Pat noodles dry with clean dish towel; dry dish and spray with vegetable oil spray.Cut 2 noodles in half crosswise.Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 F.Whisk cottage cheese, 3 cups Pecorino, cream, garlic, cornstarch, and pepper in bowl until combined.Spread 1 cup ragu in bottom of prepared dish.Lay 3 noodles lengthwise in dish with ends touching 1 short side, leaving space on opposite short side.Lay 1 half-noodle crosswise in empty space to create even layer of noodles.Spread half of cheese mixture over noodles.Repeat layering of noodles, reversing arrangement of half- noodle, then spread 1 cup ragu over top.Create third layer using 3 1/2 noodles (reversing arrangement again) and remaining cheese mixture.Lay remaining 3 1/2 noodles over cheese mixture.Spread remaining 1 cup ragu over noodles and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Pecorino.Spray sheet of aluminum foil with oil spray and cover lasagna.Bake until bubbling around edges, about 30 minutes.Remove foil and continue to bake until top is spotty brown, about 10 minutes.Let lasagna cool for 45 minutes.Sprinkle with basil.Cut into pieces and serve.Ragu alla Bolognese: Makes about 6 cups; enough for 2 pounds pasta Shopping Note: Eight teaspoons of gelatin is equivalent to one (1- ounce) box of gelatin.If you can\u2019t find ground veal, use an additional 12 ounces of ground beef.1 cup chicken broth 1 cup beef broth 8 teaspoons unflavored gelatin 1 onion, chopped coarse 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped coarse 1 celery rib, chopped coarse 4 ounces pancetta, chopped 4 ounces mortadella, chopped 6 ounces chicken livers, trimmed 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 12 ounces 85 per cent lean ground beef 12 ounces ground veal 12 ounces ground pork 3 tablespoons minced fresh sage 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste 2 cups dry red wine Salt and pepper Combine chicken broth and beef broth in bowl; sprinkle gelatin over top and let sit until softened, about 5 minutes.Pulse onion, carrot, and celery in food processor until finely chopped, about 10 pulses, scraping down sides of bowl as needed; transfer to separate bowl.Pulse pancetta and mortadella in now-empty processor until finely chopped, about 25 pulses;
