of the United Church coming to the Townships By Gordon Lambie Special to The Record is coming weekend, the Right Reverend Gary Paterson, the elected head of the United Church of Canada (UCC), will be visiting two communities in the Eastern Townships.On Saturday he will be leading worship in Waterloo at 11 a.m.in the United Church and on Sunday, at 10:30 a.m.will be making a stop at Plymouth-Trinity United Church on Dufferin Street in Sherbrooke.Both services will be followed by luncheons, including a question and answer period.The visits come as a part of a three-day visit to church communities across the province the church leader is making, before heading to Quebec City for a one-week French immersion course.\u201cMy French is rusty,\u201d Paterson said in an interview with The Record on Thursday.He went on to say that he promised when elected to polish up his French skills, as he learned the language 40 years ago in British Columbia.\u201cWe are committed to being an intercultural church.\u201d The moderator said, and a part of that is being able to speak in multiple languages.The head of the UCC, given the title of Moderator, is an elected position with a three-year term.Paterson began his term in August at the Church\u2019s 41st general council in Ottawa.\u201cThe role of the office of the moderator is to be the head of the church, but head as in spokesperson who offers vision and hope and speaks on behalf of the church.\u201d He explained, \u201c.it is not a decision-making position, so it would not be equivalent to a Bishop or the Pope.\u201d According to Paterson, it\u2019s an office that is held in high regard, with many choosing to refer to him even in informal conversation not by name but simply as \u201cModerator\u201d as an expression of respect for the office.While recognizing that respect, he\u2019s said it has taken some getting used to.Paterson identified his objectives in coming to Quebec as being twofold.\u201cPart of the call of every moderator is to visit the various parts of the church,\u201d Paterson explained, stating that he is coming to listen; to hear concerns and insights that the church has to offer at the ground level, so that he does not become disconnected from the roots of the church.His first goal then is to visit and discover what's going on in Quebec and to share vision and news from other parts of the country.The second focus is his French immersion, which will take place over the course of a week, culminating with the moderator preaching in French in Quebec City.\u201cIf they're willing to take the risk, then I'm willing to do the work as long as they're loving and forgiving,\u201d he said, expressing the hope that a week of immersion will help jump-start his fluency.In addition to these focuses, the moderator said that his main objective in coming to Quebec is to hear more about the place and the feelings of the francophone branch of the United Church.He expressed a strong desire to support the French congregations in a majority anglophene church by supporting new initiatives.\u201cQuebec is the vanguard of North American cultural secularization,\u201d Paterson said, with more and more people identifying as \u201cspiritual but not religious.\u201d \u201cThere is a new reality on the ground,\u201d he said, and went on to suggest that part of what is keeping people away from the United Church, especially in the French communities, might be a lack of information.People might like what the UCC has to say if they knew what it was all about, according to Paterson.He also applied this reasoning to younger generations, who are questioning the need for traditional Christianity.The moderator expressed a desire to go where young people are to listen to what they have to say.\u201cI'm not carrying any assumptions,\u201d he said.Paterson was clearly excited about the trip, but also conscious of the challenges facing contemporary churches.\u201cI think this is an exciting time to be Church, but the excitement will include radical change.\u201d That change, according to Paterson, likely means tough times.The church is living what he calls, \u201ca shift in our cultural reality.\u201d The primary challenge facing the church of today, he says, is how to, \u201c.share the core values of the Christian faith in ways that speak to people in our own times.\u201d \u201cThat probably means doing church differently, and I don\u2019t know what that looks like.That\u2019s what makes it scary, it\u2019s also what make it exciting.\u201d His tone was expressing a willingness to explore.\u201cThis isn\u2019t a new trend, but it\u2019s become so serious that it can no longer be ignored, which ! think ultimately is good news, though I don\u2019t always like it.\u201d In preparing for the visit, the moderator also expressed openness to speaking with other faith communities, saying, \u201cI am open to and eager to hear other voices.I think one of the things we in the United Church need to be careful about is that we don\u2019t only talk to ourselves.\u201d He then added with great enthusiasm that, \u201cit would be excellent if people who are not a part of the United Church show up with challenges or excitement.\u201d SHERBROOKE e Fleurimont Chamber of Com- | merce has a new Director-General, well-known radio personality and events promoter Patrick Lespérance.An excellent communicator and radio host, Lespérance is well known in the region.He also has experience in organizing large events, such as the Grand

producing cannabis in Shefford and Saint-Isidore- de-Clifton and conspiracy to produce cannabis.Baillargeon, who has no previous criminal record, must also respect probation conditions for one year, notably to refrain from communicating with others involved in the organization.The sentence reflected a joint recommendation by Crown prosecutor Andy Drouin and attorney for the defense, Benoit Gagnon to Quebec Court Judge Conrad Chapdelaine.Chantale Yargeau, also invoived in this case, will learn her sentence on Mar.7.Representations for the sentence in his case took place last Monday.Search

the Minister responsible for the Estrie region, Réjean Hébert, told local media, \u201cWé must also clean up the Liberal government\u2019s mess in the wake of student demonstrations in the spring.We will ensure that the government will absorb the bill for the taxpayers of the City of Sherbrooke,\u201d he promised.While Montreal certainly saw massive student protests and large-scale disruptions, Sherbrooke\u2019s protests were not insignificant.Owing to the presence of the former Premier Jean Charest's riding office the city was the scene of some major provincial demonstration.For its health

least two residents of each have been stricken.\u201cThe CSSS-IUGS attaches great value to the presence of relatives for persons living in its centres, says Dr.Suzanne part, the City of Montreal has received compensation of $15 million, everything it requested, whereas other cities, like Sherbrooke, Quebec City and Gatineau will get nothing.Thursday morning, Sherbrooke Councillor and Executive Committee Chair Serge Paquin, Councilor Pierre Boisvert, president of the Public Safety Committee, and Labbé held a press conference to respond.to this news.Paquin explained that two province- wide

units.Thus, anyone who visits a unit infected by influenza outbreak should wash their hands and wear a mask.If visiting a person with influenza, one should wear gloves and a hospital gown.This measure will remain in force for an indefinite period and is reviewed regularly.should be seen as being in a class by-it- self, as was the case with Montreal.\u201cSame burdens, two different responses,\u201d he said, \u201cIf the reimbursement was justified for Montreal, it is equally so in Sherbrooke.\u201d \u201cAfter what happened in Montreal, we had to be aware of the risk of a riot situation,\u201d said SPS chief Labbé, \u201cCrowd control was then performed by officers of SPS, which exceeded its ability.The Sûreté du Québec had to be called in to help at these events.\u201d \u201cThis is a very troubling decision,\u201d Labbé said, \u201cFrom what I understand, we\u2019re supposed to sit in our vehicles managing traffic, let the SQ work and think if it breaks, it breaks.\u201d Municipal police more than played their part in protecting the population, according to him.The sum of $439,000 claimed by the City is to cover overtime by officers at the SPS at nearly 90 events.If increased management costs and the reduction of revenues due to decreased traffic and parking tickets last spring are included, the student conflict cost Sherbrooke taxpayer over a million dollars.City leaders intend to meet with the Minister of Public Safety, Stéphane Berg- eron, to make their case, although a date has yet to be set.Bishop\u2019 SVS vs McGill \u2018 Wednesday, January 16, 2013 Lu DOUBLE

Snow clearing text messages produce mixed results Gordon Lambie Special to The Record en the City of Sherbrooke announced the launch of it\u2019s new \u201cL'hiver en temps réel\u201d (Winter in real time) text messaging project at the Dec.17 city council meeting, the idea seemed like an excellent way of quickly disseminating information to residents regarding the status of snow clearing activities in the city.Sherbrooke\u2019s road clearing service announced that it was taking a bold step into the 21st century with a pilot project that advertises itself as simple and accessible, wherein adherents would receive either text messages or email notifications of snow clearing work being done in the city as it happens.Certain citizens attempting to use the service have reported problems, however; the service does not seem to work.Guilaine Hebert of the city\u2019s communications department suggested that some people might feel that the service is not working because it has only delivered four messages so far, and those during the holiday season around the time of the Dec.27 storm.She said that so far the city sees the project as going \u201cquite well.\u201d Matthew

Sherbrooke\u2019s new text message inforomation system for snow clearing would be a useful tool to citizens in an age where most have cell phones, except it does not seem to work.\u201cI signed up for the service out of curiosity,\u201d Barlow said, \u201cThe only message I have received was a message asking me to sign up for the service that I had already signed up for.\u201d Following the directions on the project\u2019s website, www.sherbrooke.ca/neige, one need only text the word \u201cNeige\u201d (snow in French} to the number 51111 in order to begin receiving the (French only) notifications.Upon doing so, a message is returned asking the user to indicate which borough he or she would like information about by entering the number 0-6 to indicate, 0- all of Sherbrooke, 1- Brompton, 2- Fleurimont, 3- Lennoxville, 4- Mont-Bellevue, 5- Rock Forest, St-Elie and Deauville, or 6- Jacques Cartier.Upon doing so the user receives a response which (translated) reads, \u201cThank

By Francois Tanguay ccording to a recent market sur- A\u201c investments in renewable en- rgy are down drastically in Canada.What is killing green business is the massive arrival of new gas, mostly from shale.It would seem that renewable energy is not competitive.In real numbers, probably so, but on what basis is this assumption made.Renewable energy is too expensive?Come again.Ifthe solar and wind industries got half the subsidies and tax breaks the oil and gas industry get it would be interesting to see where that would take us.Oddly enough oil producing Middle Eastern countries have made the turn towards a solar future.Knowing too well they will run out of oil within a generation, some of the biggest players in the oil industry are investing massive amounts of money in solar.While Canada has killed the solar panel and is not supporting the windmill, the rest of the world put real money in renewable.How much?How about $260 billion in 2011 alone?Of that Saudi Arabia has put out $109 billion.Why?Well, as stated before, they will eventually run out of oil.What little reserves they will have left in the coming years will be used locally anyway.Just to produce desalinated water Dubai uses one million barrels per day! They have no other real option than to go solar.But they are not alone, last year more money was invested in renewables worldwide than in nuclear, oil or gas.There has to be a reason behind these huge investments.Of course there is the obvious: many countries benefit from a lot of sunshine hours and it makes sense to plug in to the sun.But not all are equal when it comes to sunshine.While Germany is not a solar haven it can supply as much as 50 per cent of its electricity on a given day from solar panels.Just imagine what the countries in the desert can achieve.So in the end it boils down to money and political will.Going solar is a good investment in most countries now and it will make even more sense in a few years.In Canada, while have cheap fossil energy because it is supported by advantageous federal tax incentives, if we do not invest on solar and wind, it then becomes a self fulfilling prophecy to say renewables are not cost effective.Mind you we are not alone in supporting the fossil sectors.Even the World Bank has recognized the issue and is supporting an end to these subsidies and tax incentives.It is rather ironic that major energy investors from the West are pouring billions in renewables in Africa, India and all over Asia.But we have more pressing issue at home.The main concern in Ottawa these days is how the hell do we get around the reluctant British-Colum- bia prime minister and how do we deal with the First Nations\u2019 ferocious opposition to planned pipelines from Alberta to Kitimat on the Pacific coast?So supporting wind and solar cannot be even a lower priority for the oil patch and their lobby in the PMO\u2019s office.The real issue is social and economic justice.In a perfect world each source of energy should be exploited and sold at real cost.But when you throw in jobs, competing markets and fragile politicians who have few tools and means to have a serious effect on' energy policies.well you get a distorted market.I have always been peeved by this false argument that renewables are not cost effective, that they can\u2019t compete with oil, gas, nuclear or even coal!

see the injured or dead children in Gaza.Adopt a puppy.The list seems endless.Unless we shut our eyes and cover our ears chanting, \u201cla la la la\u201d we can\u2019t avert our sense of responsibility to ease suffering and right wrongs.The trouble is that our 24 hour eye on the world can overwhelm any initiative we might take.We will have difficulty with limited resources making a decision about what we will take on.The immensity of the trouble also paralyzes us when we consider the smallness of our ability.There seems to be often a loss of perspective in such things.First, since the images in our living room reach us from around the world it can make us feel like the whales or whatever is within reach.Falsely, they become part of the mix of the circle of influence we imagine.So the distant images have power to push out the facts of hurt and suffering immediately around us.Thus the immediate needs go unmet while we wonder what we can do to help with the distant ones no matter how remote.Another problem is that images of whales which are truly troubling can displace awareness of other more human problems.Hunger and domestic violence.Homelessness and poverty.Health care for those needing expensive intervention.A safe welcome to the refugee family being deported for technicalities.Care for an infant being carried by a fearful young woman.Here\u2019s the thing.Were we to see images in the news of a Canadian or Russian icebreaker coming to the rescue of the whales we would - I would - feel relief.However, when one considers the tens ofthousands of dollars that would be re- » quired to pay for the effort to save these poor animals, one wonders how many medical procedures, safe shelters, refugee sponsorships, healthy meals could be paid for with the same money.For these though there are often no pictures.Worse, our hearts wrench over distant whales most of us know we ourselves can\u2019t save and thus we feel like compassionate people without having to do anything.Hunger, injustice, loneliness, refugee sponsorship, shelter - these are things we CAN do something about.But such things take involvement and also paying a price.So when you're watching the number one news item about whales remember the other items not making the headlines.And you just might find them right next door.Local Sports \u201cWe had a real good first half but we have to play hard for 40 minutes and cut down on our turnovers.\u201d Gaiters split twin bill with Citadins Men sit atop league standings with a 41 record By Mike Hickey Special to The Record e Bishop\u2019s Gaiters men\u2019s basket- | ball team used a stifling first-half defensive effort to lift them to a 69- 58 victory over the UQAM Citadins Wednesday to salvage the second leg of a RSEQ doubleheader played at Mitchell Gymnasium.The women dropped a hard-fought 66-55 decision to UQAM in the opener.The Gaiters held the visitors to just 22 points in the first half en route to a 40-22 lead and then coasted in the second half to improve their record to 4-1 and undisputed possession of first place.Head Coach Rod Gilpin, however, was not pleased with his team\u2019s second half performance.\u201cWe were not happy with the second half, we lost our defensive intensity,\u201d Gilpin said Thursday morning.\u201cWe had a real good first half but we have to play hard for 40 minutes and cut down on our turnovers.\u201d The Citadins cut the Gaiter lead to eight points with just under five minutes remaining in the game but fifth- year veteran Tim Hunter drained a three-pointer to seal the deal.\u201cTim hit a big shot when we really needed it, that is what we expect from our veterans,\u201d Gilpin said.Onnex Blackwood led Bishop\u2019s with a 16-point, ninerebound performance while Jeremy Leonard Smith added 14 points.Hunter and Mike Andrews rounded out the double figure scorers with 12 points apiece.The women deserved a better fate as they battled UQAM from the opening tipoff to the final buzzer.The Citadins, who defeated the Gaiters 76-50 three days earlier, held a slim 35-30 lead at halftime and used an 8-0 run at the end of the third quarter to pad their lead.Riley Shkimba, who battled the injury bug in the first half of the season, led the Gaiters with 16 points while Eliosa Katz and Gabrielle Chamberland chipped in with 11 points apiece.The Gaiters are back in action today when they travel to Quebec City to play the Laval Rouge et Or.Their next home games are Wednesday when they host McGill University.MATT HICKEY Onnex Blackwood led Bishop\u2019s with 16 points and nine rebounds.MORE SPORTS ON PAGE 8 UNIVERSITE BISHOP\u2019S UNIVERSITY & Winter 2013 Recreation and Aquatic Activities Session begins: January 18, 2013 Online Registration: January 8-17 In person Registration: January 15 & 16 -

Bishop\u2019s men\u2019s hockey set for first Molson Challenge son consisting solely of practices, the team played a 13-game schedule in 2011- 12, winning nine of their games and finished second in a pair of tournaments.The highlight of last season was their home game against the same Marauders, the first Bishop\u2019s men\u2019s hockey home game since the varsity program was dropped in 1982.Bishop's won that game 7-3 before more than 400 fans, and the team is hoping for a larger turnout this year.\u201cThis year, we're trying to create more of an identity,\u201d said Gagnon, reached on Thursday as the team travelled to Brockville for their first tournament of the season.The Brockville tournament will provide Bishop's with their first action of the winter, as they will play at least four games over two days, all against Ontario-based college teams.\u201cTve gone out and got sponsorship, and we're getting more support from the school now than I was last year, just because we've proven ourselves,\u201d said Gagnon.He cited, in particular, the sponsorship support of Molson, Hockey Experts, RBC and Provigo.\u201cWe're trying to create a better hockey experience for students who are coming to play.\u201d \u201cWe've been advertising in town, trying to get the community out, and create a family-friendly atmosphere,\u201d he said.Admission to each of this weekend\u2019s games is $2, and the team is hoping to create an \u201cold-time hockey\u201d feeling in the arena.\u201cIts all about bringing hockey back to Bishop\u2019s.I did some market research last year for one of my classes, and it\u2019s overwhelming how many people want hockey back.\u201d Gagnon\u2019s squad will play a 20-25 game schedule this season.After this \u201cvs all about bringing hockey back to Bishop 5, did some market research last | year for one of my classes, and it\u2019s overwhelming how many people want weekend's tournament and the Molson Challenge, they have another home game scheduled for January 18, and are set to travel to Brantford, Ontario in February.They go into the weekend with a 1-0 record.Their first game of the year was a 7-0 home shutout of the Université de Sherbrooke in November.\u201cWe have a good team, compared to a lot of the other teams that we play,\u201d said Gagnon.The coach cited veteran defenceman Padraig Kenny as his defensive leader, while up front, look for the 22-member squad to be led by Pat Colomb, who centres the top line, along with Torontonian Evgeni Pratashckyk and Justin Taylor, one of the team\u2019s alternate captains.As for getting on the ice after a long Christmas break?\u201cEveryone is looking forward to it, they're very excited,\u201d said Gagnon.A new twist to road racing will bring color to your face (and your shirt) A RUNNER\u2019S MIND CHRISTINE BLANCHETTE unning a race is about as basic as R competition can get \u2014 it\u2019s you ver- us the ones beside you and may the best woman (or man, of course) win.But then you add different food, draw prizes and live entertainment, you're left with unique events for people to choose from \u2014 with each one offering a different ambience, yet each is still a race from start to finish.Now picture an event with all competitors dressed in white T-shirts while waiting for the starting gun.The runners/walkers then take off and through each kilometre they're showered with color powder made with food grade cornstarch, 100 per cent natural and safe.It\u2019s new, sounds like loads of fun, is coming to Montreal on August 17, and is called, \u201cThe Color Run 5km.\u201d For those runners who merely estimate their kilometre split times, this is the race for you as you will be doused five times with different colors, giving you a 70s tie-dye look at the finish line.Some runners will wear bandanas or dust masks because of the powder, thrown by volunteer color throwers, sponsors, and Run for Color staff who aim low as much as possible when you pass by.The idea is to get your T-shirt as colorful as possible by race end.To restate the obvious, you start in white and you finish looking like a hippie gearing up for a Joan Baez tribute concert.You are officially a color runner/walker and you get to celebrate at a post Skm party.At the finish, the crowd will do a color throw every 15 minutes to welcome new runners coming in.The first official Color Run was held in Tempe, AZ in January 2012.Since last year, the event debuted in 50 US cities and three international cities, with close SUNDAY, ihe 13,4 PM.à in Faas, Presented by NES Ses Dogs i pry Sherbrooke Phoenix \" va to 600,000 participants in total.By the end of 2012, The Color Run has worked, as 60 per cent of participants were first- time 5k runners.The event selects a different local charity organization for each city, so everybody wins.In a recent email interview with the Color Run mastermind, 34-year-old Travis Snyder from his office in Draper, Utah, the founder and executive director began by saying, \u201cSeeing how happy The Color Run has made all different kinds of people has been very rewarding.It really is an event for all fitness levels, ages and backgrounds.Our tag line is \u2018The happiest 5k on the planet\u2019 for a reason.That line was created after seeing how happy it made people.\u201d You might say it puts the fun into a fun run.Snyder, a former triathlete and avid rrr rr runner, began creating his own running events 10 years ago.In an effort to create a non-threatening running environment where professional and novice runners could come together and enjoy the purity of the sport, The Color Run was born.\u201cI wanted to create an event that would encourage people to get out and run just for the fun of it.| wanted people to enjoy the community experience of running together, and [ wanted to add something a little out of the ordinary to the race; something that could serve as a sort of visual reward for all the hard work these runners put into training for the event,\u201d he said.He continued, \u201cThe Color Run has had more first-time 5k runners than any other event in history.For most of these runners it will lead to more participation in fun runs and competitive events.We take a lot of satisfaction in the fact that our events lead people to have a more healthy and active lifestyle.The demand has been crazy and exciting.Every day hundreds of people make requests on our Facebook page for us to bring the event to their favorite city.We\u2019re excited to answer the call!\u201d You can run the event solo or enter as a team.This makes me want to participate in this event.All you need is a white shirt, and be ready to have some fun running and getting splashed with color.More information: www.thecolor- run.com www.christineruns.com Twitter: christineruns 819 560-8842 The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2013 Page 9 Death | | Death | |

lot.Is there anything I can do to make them stronger?I've heard eating gelatin can help.DEAR READER: Misconceptions about fingernails are common, and so are remedies claiming to make your nails better.But like it or not, there\u2019s relatively little you can do to change the overall health of your nails.It\u2019s a myth that eating gelatin will encourage healthy, longer nails.I can see where the myth started.Gelatin is made of processed collagen.Collagen is an important protein; it provides strength and elasticity to skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and other body parts.So someone figured that brittle fingernails needed more collagen.There are two problems with that line of reasoning.First, the collagen you eat gets digested in your gut.More important, your fingernails are not made up of collagen; they're made up of keratin.Although it\u2019s also a structural protein, keratin is unrelated to gelatin.That\u2019s why eating gelatin or soaking your nails in it will not affect your nails in any way.It\u2019s also unlikely that your nails are unhealthy due to inadequate dietary protein or other missing nutrients.My skin-specialist colleagues tell me that the culprit behind brittle nails is usually dehydration.This may result from living in a dry climate or from frequent use of nail polish remover.Moisturizers can help \u2014 but supplements and diet won't.Nail growth slows after age 20.Most people notice that their fingernails tend to become more brittle and thinner with age.Some people have faster- growing nails than others, and some people are able to grow long and strong nails while others can\u2019t.To help keep your fingernails healthy: \u2014 Trim your nails regularly to keep them short and smoothly rounded at the tips.\u2014 Protect fingernails from injury.Wear gloves if you are performing manual labor.\u2014 Don\u2019t bite your nails.\u2014 Apply moisturizer to your hands and nails while they're wet.\u2014 Use a nail hardener or clear polish to strengthen the nails.\u2014 Limit use of nail polish remover to twice a month to avoid excessive nail dryness, which can make them brittle.\u2014 If you get manicures, stick with reputable nail salons that sterilize instruments.Better yet, bring your own.Long ago, when I was in medical training, ! had a patient who suffered from many different \u201cimportant\u201d diseases.She had heart failure, her kidneys were not working well, years of smoking had caused emphysema of her lungs, and she had trouble walking because of severe arthritis in her hips.The treatments available at that time were only partially effective.I asked her how she had been doing, and I was startled when she replied: \u201cI've got no complaints, doctor, except can you do something about my nails?\u201d I learned that if a medical condition is important to a patient, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s not on my list of \u201cimportant\u201d diseases \u2014 it should be important to me.(Dr.Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.To send questions, go to AskDoctorK.com, or write: Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA

\u2018The girl now lives with her father, who isn\u2019t a great parent, so she sometimes sleeps in the park FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2013 Dear Annie: My husband and I recently moved to the city where my husband's family lives.One of his brothers has been married for two years.(It's his third wife.) \u201cPete\u201d is a likable guy who often arranges fun activities.Pete moved into his wife\u2019s house when they married.She had a teenage daughter, a dog and cat.Pete got rid of all three.He is obsessive-compulsive and doesn\u2019t like to clean up after pets and couldn't tolerate his wife\u2019s daughter.The girl now lives with her father, who isn'ta great parent, so she sometimes sleeps in the park.We don\u2019t know what he did with the animals.Pete also made his wife sign over her house because she wasn\u2019t paying her portion of the mortgage and bills.Pete\u2019s wife confides in me, and while she accepts everything he does, she is miserable.My husband and I feel guilty hanging out with Mr.Good Times when he is creating so much pain for his wife and stepdaughter.How do we continue accepting fun invites when we know he is such a control freak?I realize I can\u2019t interfere in his marriage, but I don\u2019t want him to think we condone his treatment of his wife and stepdaughter.The fact that Pete sees nothing wrong with his actions is disturbing.What can we do?\u2014 Worried Sister-in-Law Dear Worried: Abusers often come across as charm- Annie\u2019s Mailbox ing guys.But we don\u2019t know what's really going on.The pets could be fine, the daughter might be OK if her biological father stepped up, and if Pete\u2019s wife wasn\u2019t paying the mortgage, having the house in his name may have been justified.However, all of these things together make Pete\u2019s behavior questionable, if not pathological.If he is forcing these changes onto his wife and she feels trapped, please encourage her to call the Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE.And speak up.Tell Pete you find his behavior disturbing.Dear Annie: My sister and I are trying to plan a nice dinner for our parents\u2019 50th wedding anniversary.We would like to invite about 30 close family members and \u2018friends to a restaurant that our parents like, but footing the bill for everyone\u2019s meal would be difficult.Would it be OK to add this sentence to the invitation: \u201cWe chose a restaurant that we think is affordable to all.Gifts are not required.Your presence will be gift enough.\u201d Or do you have another suggestion?\u2014 Want To Do the Right Thing Dear Want: In other words, you want the guests to pay for their own meals.That necessitates rephrasing the entire invitation because you are asking them to host themselves.Try this: \u201cPlease join us in taking our parents out to their favorite restaurant.\u201d Dear Annie: \u201cA Guy in Virginia\u201d asked whether it was OK to look at a woman's tattoo.I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify sexual harassment.It has a very strict legal meaning at the federal and state level in order to regulate how people behave in the workplace.It has nothing to do with a guy checking out some woman in the grocery.It\u2019s sexual harassment if the person in authority says, \u201cIf you don\u2019t sleep with me, I will fire you\u201d \u2014 or not give you a raise, flunk you, etc.It\u2019s sexual harassment if it creates a hostile work environment \u2014 a pattern of looking at pornography at work, making lewd comments or sexist jokes, or displaying suggestive calendars or photos.It is not sexual harassment to say, \u201cI like your hair,\u201d although a pattern of personal remarks that make someone uncomfortable would eventually constitute a hostile work environment.It is NOT about what happens outside the workplace.So if you don\u2019t want someone to stare at you, don\u2019t wear revealing clothes, get a tattoo or wear pink hair.\u2014 BTDT in the

Having lost three tricks, South needed the trumps to break 3-2.But he also had a potential spade loser.If the missing cards were friends, breaking 3-3, there would not be a problem.But if they were foe, dividing 4-2, declarer would need some luck.South drew two rounds of trumps using dummy\u2019s queen and his ace.Then he shifted to spades, cashing his ace, crossing to the king, and leading back to his queen.If the suit had been 3-3, declarer would have drawn the last trump and claimed.Here, though, he ruffed his fourth spade on the board, led a club to his ace, removed West's last heart, and claimed.«a + FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2013 From time to time in the year ahead, you are likely to be privy to some valuable information that won\u2019t be available to just anybody.If you're smart, you'll
