Raise a toast to Bishop\u2019s University, on the mighty Mas- sawippi shore.On Saturday, teams from Acadia, Bishop's, Mount Allison and St.Francis Xavier will participate in a Student Debate Tournament.The competition takes place in McGreer Hall starting at 8:30 a.m.The debates provide a forum that enables students to voice their opinions freely and dynamically.The final debate will be held in St.Mark's Chapel starting at'11 a.m.After a morning of intense yet passionate debating students, staff and guests are welcomed to cheer on the Gaiters at the alumni hockey game tournament from 12:30 till 5 p.m.The game promises to be a heated battle for bragging rights and, as McBrine noted, \u201cA Homecoming trophy will be up for grabs.\u201d The alumni basketball game happens in Mitchell Ben by Daniel Shelton COURTESY Gymnasium starting at 1 p.m.For the less sports inclined, take in the TEDxBishopsU event which will be presented in Bandeen Hall from 1 to 5 p.m with overflow and a live feed at The Gait for non ticket holders.This multidisciplinary event will feature speakers drawn from the talented pool of students, faculty, alumni, community members, and staff from four Universities.Last, but certainly not least is CBC\u2019s The Debaters at Centennial Theatre from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m.This event will extend the debate about undergraduate education outside of the academy and into the world of stand-up comedy.The popular CBC radio show is an irreverent public forum that deconstructs the ideological underpinnings of the debate structure and moves the traditional, even elite format from the esoteric to the accessible.After all has been said and done the only way to properly end the weekend in the words of Matt McBrine \u201cIs with a celebratory weekend wrap up at The Gait.The doors will be opening early on this occasion, starting at 10 p.m.\u201d More information is available on the Bishop\u2019s website ubishops.ca Maghen Eisan is with the

could be seen continuing to examine and pry at parts of the roof.The cause of the fire remains unknown, though Simoneau pointed out that no one was home at the time of the fire, with the owners of the house arriving at approximately the same time as the fire-trucks.No one was hurt in either incident.Sherbrooke to review noise by-laws after citizen complaint SHERBROOKE e City of Sherbrooke is taking an- | other look at its noise regulations following a bitter complaint from a citizen who was forced to pay a fine after neighbours complained about his home\u2019s heat pump.The Public Security Committee of the city council will evaluate the appropriateness of the city\u2019s by-laws on noise.Specifically, the city will look at whether the city\u2019s policy of relying on complaints by neighbours, rather than actual noise levels, is the appropriate way to go.\u201cThe Public Safety Committee will review the entire issue by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of both options, taking into consideration the experiences in other cities,\u201d says the executive committee chair Serge Paquin.The issue came to public attention when Sherbrooke resident Martin Houle appeared at the council meeting Monday to demand amendments to the Regulations on the nuisance caused by noise.Houle was sentenced recently by the municipal court because this heat pump was disturbing his

spring, predicts mayor Jacques He- mond.But he adds what is really needed is a new one.\u201cI think within two years, that bridge will have to be closed again and patched up because it is too old and the frame is starting to rot,\u201d he said at the town\u2019s monthly public council meeting Tuesday evening.\u201cWe need a new bridge, but I and this town don\u2019t happen to have the millions needed to build one.\u201d The bridge was closed last October because of a weak frame.Transport Quebec officials told Hemond the frame will be reinforced during the winter and early spring for public use before summer.The steel framed bridge is situated between the Nicolet Falls road and the route 255 bypass highway, crossing over the Nicolet river.It was closed on October 24 by the transport department for safety reasons, forcing motorists wanting to travel to Castlebar and Tingwick to take the 116 highway and drive an extra three kilometres to Tremblay road.The closure also meant disruption of the ATV and snowmobile trail over the bridge, even though those vehicles are light enough not to upset the bridge's stability.\u201cThe bridge was closed because it could not bear the weight of heavy vehicles such as transport trucks,\u201d said He- mond.\u201cIt can hold the weight of light snowmobiles and ATVs, but it cannot take the weight of the heavy snowplows that are used to prepare the trails for these lighter vehicles.\u201d Town councillor Michel Plourde said that since the closure, he has received nine letters of complaint from area businesses that depend on that bridge for their work and livelihood.\u201cIt is the only bridge they have left that crosses the river near their estab lishments,\u201d he said.\u201cNow they have to travel many kilo metres on the back roads to get across the river at the main highways.\u201d Hemond again warned residents to respect the bridge\u2019s limited weight restrictions when it does reopen.\u201cIt is an old bridge and if anything happens to it, the transport department could close it again, and there is no guarantee they would want to pay for a new one.\u201d Last year, Transport officials removed two defective streetlights from the highway 255 curb at Taylor's corner between Danville and Asbestos.Official Helene Beauchesne told The Record it would take one year to rebuild the lighting system and that there was no guarantee the same number of lights would be replaced on the curb.Police The Record SHERBROOKE olice are investigating an at- Prempea fraud by telephone in St- Denis de Brompton where a woman

1981 and now has some 800 members.Joining the cooperative is a little like opening a bank account at the local caisse.\u201cYou have to pay a $40 fee to become a member,\u201d Pierre explains, \u201cbut that will be refunded to you when you leave the cooperative.Members have access to a range of service.We can prepare a forest management plan for your wood lot, and help with all the steps involved in caring for a forest, from planting trees to supervising their harvesting.That can include things like building roads; we have even dug drainage ditches on occasion, though we do less and less of that.\u201d Working out of an office in Windsor\u2019s industrial park, Pierre Bellavance is part of a team of eight technicians (including forestry engineers) and eight labourers (sometimes augmented by subcontractors) who assist private woodlot owners in five MRCs in the Townships (Val St-François, des Sources, Sherbrooke, Memphremagog and part of Haut St- -François).tors, farmers with wooded land, and retirees who have kqught, rural» Foperty.\u201cAbout*29' pér'ceht of out members consult us and then do any necessary work themselves,\u201d says Bellavance.\u201cThe other 80 per cent will have us do the work.\u201d Drawing up a forest management plan, normally the first step in starting to manage a newly acquired woodlot, involves several days of work.A forestry technician will walk the forest and subsequently prepare a detailed inventory which can run to 30 pages or more.The document includes, among other things, a delineated map of the property, a listing of the types and ages of standing trees, and possible courses of action to make the forest healthier and economically productive.Drawing up a forest management plan costs the woodlot owner $550 (or more in cases where the property is especially extensive).Thanks to the subsidies which permit the Groupement forestier coopératif St-François to operate, most required jobs can be done for 20 per cent of normal cost.Forest management is an environmentally sound practice.\u201cA young forest,\u201d Pierre explains, \u201cis an effective carbon sink.Young trees absorb a great deal of carbon.As the trees reach maturity, they absorb less and less carbon until the forest is fully mature and the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the living trees is equal to the carbon dioxide released by fallen trees and dead branches.\u201d Depending on the species of tree planted, a forest can reach maturity and be ready for harvesting in as little as 70 years, for example, in the case of softwoods like spruce and certain types of pine.Hardwood trees of course take longer \u201cit\u2019s very hardsto: grow ashards 'says! \u201c\u201cThes formation and her credit card numbers.About half an hour later, the man called the victim in an aggressive manner to ask if the credit card number provided was good.Finally, the victim recéived a call from a business saying that someone had tried to use her credit card to make a purchase.The investigation is still ongoing on this issue.Police are reminding citizens of the importance of never giving personal information to strangers.This procedure is a new approach developed by the suspects in order to use your credit cards fraudulently.and vegetation gives the seedlings a bit of breathing room and allows them to get well established,\u201d says Pierre Bella- vance.\u201cNormally, some 25 years after it\u2019s been planted, the woods are ready for a first thinning.\u201d \u201cTo thrive, trees need room,\u201d Pierre explains.\u201cYou should think of the top 40 per cent to 50 cent of the tree as its motor.That's where the photosynthesis takes place.Giving a tree ample access to light will maximize its growth.Thinning out a woodlot every 10 years or so gives the remaining trees that much more opportunity to grow.\u201d Whatever trees are harvested during the first round of thinning are relatively small and therefore of limited economic value, but later cuts do make forest management a good investment.\u201cWood is still a very valued building material,\u201d Bellavance contends.\u201cIt\u2019s inexpensive compared to metal or stone.It\u2019s very versatile and can be put to a wide variety of uses from framing to finishing to furniture.And it\u2019s a renewable resource.\u201d The Groupement forestier coopératif St-François also helps woodlot owners market their product.\u201cGenerally, we work with industrial buyers,\u201d Pierre provincial government come in the form of taxes from the income made by the woodcutters, the truckers, the sawyers, the contractors, and the carpenters who handle the wood and turn it from a raw material into a finished product.Some 8,500 jobs in the region are directly linked to forestry.\u201cYou should also know,\u201d Pierre says, \u201cthat the subsidies we get and that benefit woodlot owners are offset by the fact that municipal taxes applied to woodlots are much higher than they are for arable land.This is because woodlot owners are taxed on the value of the land, and on the value of the trees on the land.A harvested 50-year old pine will have been taxed 50 times by the municipality.\u201d \u201cAs well,\u201d he continues, \u201ca large majority of woodlot owners, without the professional advice and help we offer, would not know how to go about caring for their woods and this would have a negative effect, both economically and environmentally.When you take into account the tax revenues that Quebec draws from forestry, and that no one gains when a forest is simply ignored, subsidies to this sector are entirely justified.If you want to rationalize an in- These'ate pulp and pdper- pré- \u2018dustry, you don't cut what's profitable.wood.plantation\u201d

provincial debt, cutting grants to a group of private woodlot owners undoubtedly looked like a good move.Pierre Bellavance and the 800 members of Groupement forestier coopératif St-François are hoping that for environmental and economic reasons, the government will re-examine its plans and change them accordingly.~ avy The Record | newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2013 Page 5

mother.I had to apply, then take an examination before they accepted me.\u201d In 1993, an accidental fire levelled 1 the Smith home and post office.Despite { warnings from firefighters on the scene, Smith entered the smoking building and rescued the mailbag and various other post office items from destruction, but lost her family heritage, her parent\u2019s home.The next day, Smith set up a temporary depot in her home just down the j road from the original building, until the current location could be renovated as the community's new post office.At the time it had been feared Canada Post might close down the Bish- opton office, similar to so many in the rural areas over the past few years.The following year, Canada Post commended her with an award of merit for her dedication and bravery.\u201cWe were very happy that she continued the post office right after the fire.It\u2019s an important part of the community.Our municipality of Dudswell includes the two villages (Bishopton and Marbleton), and Marbleton doesn\u2019t have its post office anymore.When it\u2019s just mailboxes, we lose more than just mail service, we lose seeing our friends,\u201d said Corriveau.The mayor\u2019s concern was well founded.Bishopton today has little of its once proud vitality when founded in 1800 by John Bishop.Its town centre consists of a restaurant, bar and dépanneur, the post office is located in a smaller building next-door.Since her retirement, this easygoing and energetic woman admits to being even busier than when she worked full- time.\u201cI had a family job; the customers were my family.They say they loved me, well it works vice versa, I love the community,\u201d Smith said.See The Record, Feb.7, page 4, for the story about Patrick Lavallée .\"FE EEC EER BEL

Natural Resources inister Martine Ouellet is making a few good moves.It is not easy to assume such a daunting task with so much on the agenda and a short political leash.Firing right off the block on a couple of hot issues like shale gas and the Gentilly 2 nuclear plant, Ouellet needed time to get a bird\u2019s eye view of her new job and tackle some urgent matters.Obviously enough time has passed to make the first bold moves.The decision to close down the Gentilly 2 nuclear plant was courageous, because it involves 800 highly paid jobs and turns the province for good away from nuclear based energy.It was only a matter of time before everyone found out what a few already know.By the way the Liberals had all the numbers and were well aware that keeping Gentilly 2 open made no economic sense, made no energy sense either.They chose to make electoral meat for the people pretending to care about the plant, but they actually didn\u2019t really care.Worse they keep the facts mute.We should never have gotten into the nuclear business in the first place.But I remember the context quite well.Canada needed a showroom for its particular brand of nuclear power, the heavy water cooled CANDU electric generation plants (for Canadian Deuterium).A deal was struck with the Province to make the new Gentilly industrial park a window on the world of the CANDU.A heavy water separation plant was built nearby, the Laprade complex.that was demolished and made in to scrap many years ago.There are no signs left of it, luckily it was mainly metal and could be recycled! The jobs will be replaced.A few very important announcements are up and coming.There will be more than 800 jobs created in the not too distant future.The renewable energy sector will expand and nobody will remember Gentilly in a few short years.Kudos.Then there are the $34 million Minister Ouellet announced to pursue energy efficiency measures.Investing in better and more efficient buildings is the first thing to do before adding new energy sources.The energy not needed through efficiency is always cheaper, creates more jobs and more durable infrastructures.This is a no-brainer, but it had to be done.A wise investment indeed, with long lasting effects too.Then there is the battle of the small dams.We don\u2019t need small hydro projects, period.One medium size dam on one river makes more sense than a bunch of these small installations on so many rivers.Yes, this new electricity would be expensive, but no more than the next bigger dam, the next windmills or of course an eventual revamped Gentilly 2.The fact is we need less energy, we can and should need less if we invest in two things: a serious building code so the next generation of houses needs less energy - yes it is easily achievable - and we need a serious energy saving campaign for the high peak demand periods that would diminish our need for extra equipment that is used only a couple of hundred hours per year.Again, the lesser the needs, the better off we are.So small hydro dams we do not need.If jobs are the real issue, if money for the regions is the issue, small dams are not the answer.Investing in forestry, biomass power, high quality wood by-products are more critical to most regions than a punctual investment in one town that will create a handful of jobs during construction and little to none after.Hydro operations are now all computer run from a main office somewhere downtown a few hundred kilometres from the site anyway.So Minister Ouellet is making a lot of good moves and deserves support.There are still plenty of occasions left out there to keep this short streak going.Letters DEAR EDITOR:.We don\u2019t need small hydro projects, period.One medium size dam on one river makes more sense than a bunch of these small installations on so many rivers.Poetic injustice in TBL Water water, no where to be found, Is it being put in pools, or put on the ground?In 2012 there was water shortage in the Town of Brome Lake + So what action did you think, this administration would take?An Engineering study, was what they decided to do So, what do you think they found, when the study was thru?They say there were some leaks and a very high demand They never thought to look, at the information, they should have had in hand.Citizens that have pools, were supposed to have bought a permit In doing all their studies, they never thought to look into it.No, they continued with their practise, blame it on those that worked there before And once again, we are told, don\u2019t worry, it won't happen anymore.Borrowing more money, seems to be the route this group always want take Borrowing more and more money, seems to me, is a big mistake Because of all this inaction, citizens want to know Would it be possible to separate the six villages, like it was long ago?To do this would not be easy; most of TBL citizens would have to agree The idea of it happening, seems more and more interesting to me So citizens of this Town, if you are wondering, what you can do For a start, sign the registers this Saturday and stop the borrowing from going thru.STANLEY E.NEIL TBL DEAR EDITOR:

Sherbrooke, QC J1G 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA DEAR EDITOR: for Healthy Water in Richmond committee handed in a proposed resolution project to Richmond\u2019s town council with the goal of stopping water fluoridation.The committee recently found out that the agreement between the Town of Richmond and the Ministère de la santé et des services sociaux (MSSS) was never signed.In addition, following a request for access to information, the MSSS was unable to provide copies of the agreements made in writing with all the cities that fluoridate, saying that they cannot find them.Yet, the committee has obtained a copy of the agreement that should have been signed and the responsibilities of the MSSS are unfulfilled.The MSSS agrees to revise at least once every three years, the safety of fluoridation for people\u2019s health and the environment and, according to the results obtained, to recommend the continuation or the stopping of fluoridation.The committee, despite its many requests, has yet to receive the documents that prove the safety of water fluoridation products.Here is an excerpt from the committee\u2019s resolution: I= Monday evening, the Citizens Concretely, for the fluoridation of its drinking water, the Citizens for Healthy Water in Richmond propose to the Town of Richmond to only use: a.food or pharmaceutical-grade fluoridation products whose conditions of fabrication, transportation and storing are sanitary and respect all the laws of \u201cgood fabrication practices\u201d as defined in the food and drug regulations for a food or a nutrient.b.fluoridation products whose classification is adequate for human consumption (water treatment products are unfit for human consumption).c.fluoridation products whose toxicology reviews demonstrate clearly and in a satisfactory manner their safety, or to stop the addition of fluoride to Richmond's drinking water until these conditions can be fulfilled.It is clear that the salubriousness, safety and edibility of fluoridation chemical products have never been demonstrated.These products present a conclusive risk for people\u2019s health and since every municipality has the duty to ensure the protection of their citizen's health in relation to their drinking water, it cannot allow itself to take or to prolong this risk.MANDY DEMERS RICHMOND The Record | newsroon (Yysherbrookerecord.com FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2013 Page 7 = OLUMNIST | The Foothills Hospital of Calgary was revealed to have left abortion survivors to die in empty rooms, some crying for hours in the late 1990's.It\u2019s called, \\ Bo STEVEN BLACK en a child is breathing outside the womb, even while the umbilical cord remains attached, it is a human being, according to Canadian law, and it is deserving of the full protection of the same law.But because of the politics around the issue of a woman\u2019s right to choose, 491 babies were left to die in Canada between 2000 and 2009 after being born alive following failed abortions.This is according to numbers released by Stats Canada and these are not to be confused with still- births which fall under another category.We shun considering what it was like for those babies whose nervous systems were fully developed and fully capable of feeling pain.The Foothills Hospital of Calgary was revealed to have left abortion survivors to die in empty rooms, some crying for hours in the late 1990's.How many others were similarly left by doctors and nurses in other institutions?They number in the hundreds according to government statistics from the following decade.Two Conservative MPs recently wrote police requesting that they begin investigating such events as possible homicides.It seems reasonable doesn\u2019t it?Unfortunately, the Prime Minister, eager to distance himself from the prochoice claim that he has a hidden agenda to outlaw abortion - also known as \u201ca woman's right to choose\u201d - has stated that the government will not reopen the abortion debate.Mr.Harper, I say to you that the intentional neglect of a baby\u2019s life outside the womb with the aim that it dies, is not abortion.It is called, \u201cInfanticide.\u201d As uncomfortable as these statistics and reports make us, this kind of thing is taking place across our country as a consequence of legal but failed efforts to kill unborn children.When painfully slicing up the baby or poisoning it with caustic substance fails, this is what could and does happen.No doubt there will be those who will propose more \u201chumane\u201d methods and less painful.Calling it \u201ceuthanasia\u201d or \u201cmercy killing,\u201d though, will do nothing to avert an equally appropriate title - \u201cInfanticide.\u201d The sad thing is that at times the only difference between one child and another equally developed and viable is whether or not the child is inside the womb of a woman.Of course there are political risks to opening discussions on matters like this one.There are possible implications \u2018Infanticide,\u2019 Mr.Harper that there could carry legitimate reasons to limit \u201cchoice\u201d if that choice results in the willful taking of an innocent human life whether by direct action or neglect.Sadly, the temptation and even decision to avert one\u2019s gaze and close one\u2019s ears to avoid an uncomfortable discussion will likely be the outcome of a society averse to the pricking of conscience.I suspect that Stats Can will be directed to stop collecting such revealing data if this has not already happened.I suspect that hospitals and clinics will not keep such records.Thus children will die without record or notice for political expediency.And the Prime Minister will be culpable.As will we all.May it be that many caring Canadians will cry out about this injustice against the innocent so that the cries of dying newborns will not remain unheard behind closed doors.Sherbrooke Gordon Lambie Special to The Record ayor Bernard Sévigny announced Mey Thursday afternoon that, for the fifth straight year, the city of Sherbrooke is engaging in the 5/30 health and wellness challenge.He encouraged all Sherbrooke residents to participate in the challenge, which will take place this year from Mar.1 to Apr.11.\u201cThe formula is simple,\u201d Sévigny said at the press conference held at the university of Sherbrooke, \u201c5 servings of fruit a day, 30 minutes of activity, and an effort to reduce stress in your life, if you can.\u201d \u201cOver the past several years I've had the pleasure to go and collect a plaque with my colleague from the city of Laval,\u201d Sévigny said, indicating that these two cities have, several years in a row, performed better in the challenge than any other city in the province.This year, Sévigny says he hopes to beat Laval as well.The mayor also took a moment to mention and highlight the new healthy eating policy the city put in place on Monday night.\u201cThe idea is not to form a poutine Police that will track people down, but rather to provide advantageous alternatives.\u201d Also speaking at the conference were wheelchair athlete, Diane Roy, and Conrad Filteau, a member of the administrative council of Sercovie, a Sherbrooke organization which aims to improve the lives and activity levels of people 50 years and older.\u201cI think that the effect of being outside often has had a really good effect on my activity level,\u201d Roy said, \u201cbut eating well is not easy.\u201d Roy suggested that taking on the challenge could have a positive effect on a wide range of people, particularly to take 5/30 challenge for the fifth time L GORDON LAMBIE Mayor Bernard Sévigny and wheelchair athlete, Diane Roy.among the youth of the province.\u201cThe more you exercise, the more you want to,\u201d she said, speaking from personal experience.Filteau spoke of having led a sedentary life.\u201cTelevision, et cetera; those were my sports.\u201d He spoke emphatically of how taking on physical activity through Sercovie has changed his life for the better.The issue of physical activity was a theme for the day; the mayor denounced the way \u201cthumb games\u201d have taken on a big role in the lives of young people.He drew a connection between the inactivity associated with playing video games on a variety of devices.According to Sévigny, when people try to get more active, \u201ceverybody wins.\u201d He cited the path around Lac des Nations as an example of the resources available to Sherbrooke residents to accomplish the goals of the challenge.\u201cIt takes about 45 minutes to walk the path,\u201d he said, pointing out that a half hour of activity a day is really not so big a task as some people think it is.For those less enthusiastic, he also pointed out on several occasions that there are numerous perks to signing up for the challenge through the website.Ultimately, Sévigny\u2019s message was one of concern for global wellbeing; \u201cWe cannot lay down our arms before the epidemic of obesity that effects not only our youth but our adults as well.\u201d Interested parties are invited

FRIDAY, FEBRUARYS, 2013 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com | The Record I lost my beautiful daughter to suicide FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2013 Dear Annie: [ lost my beautiful daughter to suicide six months ago.A strong and able firefighter, she was also extremely active in her community.Naturally, I leaned on my mother for consolation, but I didn\u2019t find it.Instead, my mother was distant and uninterested in my pain.It was an effort even to get her to attend my daughter\u2019s memorial service.She said it would be hypocritical to go, because she hadn\u2019t spoken to my daughter for years.I can\u2019t recall what hurt my mother so much that she decided never to speak to my daughter again.Now she says she doesn\u2019t want to hear from me until I am feeling better.I am well aware of my mother\u2019s inability to talk about things that cause her pain.However, I don\u2019t believe pushing me out of her life solves anything.My mother told me she doesn\u2019t approve of the way I expressed myself angrily to people who claimed to be friends of my daughter but proceeded to spread ugly lies about her past.In my grief, I confronted these people and protected my daughter as any parent would have.My mother told me to get mental health assistance, and she refuses to speak to me.I sought advice from a psychologist, who said I seem very aware of everyone's feelings and there is nothing wrong with me.I simply need time to heal.She thinks six months ago Annie\u2019s Mailbox my mother is acting unreasonably.Not only did I lose my only child, but I also lost my mother when I needed her most.Is there anything I can do to make her understand how painful this is?\u2014 Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: Our deepest condolences on the loss of your daughter.Your mother sounds incapable of showing sympathy or providing consolation.She may also be feeling guilty for never having reconciled with her granddaughter, believing that there was plenty of time to do so.We cannot make your mother a more compassionate human being.We can only recommend that you get grief counseling and find support through The Compassionate Friends (compassionatefriends.org) at 1- 877-969-0010, an organization for parents whose children have died.Dear Annie: My parents have always favored my oldest brother.My other two siblings and I all feel this way, so it\u2019s pretty much a given.My parents and I have never had an easy relationship.While I've obeyed their rules, maintained their standards and respected their wishes, I have never conformed to their ideals, so I've been branded as \u201crebellious.\u201d When I confronted them about their favoritism, they absolutely denied treating my brother any better than the rest of us.They also told me ! have a rebellious heart.How can I make them realize that they do indeed show favoritism, and that I am not rebellious?\u2014 Tired of Favoritism Dear Tired: Those are tough challenges and will likely take a while to accomplish.Parents are reluctant to admit when they favor one child over another and often don\u2019t see it.And it takes time and effort \u2014 from all of you \u2014 for parents to alter their perceptions of a child\u2019s \u201cnature.\u201d Talk to your parents politely and calmly.Explain that you aren\u2019t looking to be confrontational.Ask them to tell you more specifically what they need from you so you can work on it.We hope the honest question will open their minds and allow the relationship to improve.Dear Annie: I got a kick out of the comment from \u201cMidwest Cook,\u201d who exempted Brussels sprouts and sauerkraut from the \u201crequired\u201d list of kids foods.Admittedly, sauerkraut can be hard to make appealing, but Brussels sprouts can be cooked in chicken broth to make them delicious.Our kids still request them.And kraut can be made exciting with just a bit more imagination.\u2014 Mike in Hawaii Annie\u2019s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Detached retina calls for immediate attention ASK DOCTOR K by Anthony L.Komaroff, M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: My father was diagnosed with a detached retina.The doctor said this isn\u2019t uncommon in older people, and that he could have gone blind without treatment.What are the symptoms of, and treatments for, this condition, so I can protect myself?DEAR READER: Detached retinas can indeed lead to permanent blindness if they are not treated promptly.The good news is that, compared to when I was in medical school, today\u2019s treatments are much more effective.Your retina is the light-sensitive layer of special cells at the back of your eye.When light passes into your eye, it falls on the retina.There, the light is converted into nerve impulses that are relayed to the brain.When your brain interprets these impulses, you \u201csee.\u201d Normally, your retina lies directly on top of other cells and blood vessels that support and nourish it.If the retina separates from these underlying cells and vessels, it cannot function properly.Retinal detachment typically starts when a tear or hole develops in the retina.Then some of the vitreous fluid, which fills the inside of the eye, leaks through the opening, gets behind the retina and separates it from the nourishing tissue just beneath it.(I've put an illustration of this on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) The symptoms you have depend on where the retina detaches.You may experience a sudden blurring or loss of vision, or you may feel as if a curtain has been drawn over one side of your eye.If ever you have these symptoms, call your doctor or your ophthalmologist (eye doctor) immediately.Other symptoms may include floaters or brief flashes of light.Floaters are fairly common and usually do not mean you have a retinal detachment.Nevertheless, if the floaters are suddenly much more prominent and persistent than usual, get it checked out.Likewise, brief flashes of light are more often caused by migraines than by retinal detachment.Nevertheless, if they are more severe than usual \u2014 particularly if you don\u2019t have a headache and nausea, which usually occur with migraines \u2014 check it out.Several techniques are available to treat retinal detachment: : \u2014 Scleral buckling.A tiny hole is made in the sclera, the tough layer beneath the retina.Any vitreous fluid that has leaked behind the retina is drained through this tiny hole, allowing the detached retina to fall back into its normal position.Next, a small tuck or indentation is made in the sclera and secured with a silicone buckle.| \u2014 Cryotherapy.The retirral tear is sealed with a freezing probe.\u2014 Laser photocoagulation.The retinal tear is sealed with a laser beam.\u2014 Pneumopexy.A bubble of special gas is injected near the area of retinal detachment to press the retina back into place.\u2014 Vitrectomy.Part of the vitreous fluid is removed near the detachment and replaced with a sterile saline solution or some other fluid.Never hesitate to contact your doctor or eye doctor immediately if you have symptoms that could indicate retinal detachment.It\u2019s better to be safe than sorry.(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 02115.) Robert Frenette, 19 from Woodstock, New Brunswick, along with Katie Neu, 17 of Kitchener, Ontario, are two youths who share one thing in common.They have been bullied.They also work for change.The adversity they faced in school has propelled them to create BuliyingCanada.ca.- an anti-bullying website for youth and by youth.The website offers tips for a bystander, victim and bully.The site also features a database of links to other anti-bullying websites.Subscribe to the free e-newsletter \u201cYouth Voices\u201d that highlights anti-bullying work around the country by emailing to: Cor rere ri llyingCanada.More information contact them by email at: Info@BullyingCanada.Ca or visit their website www.BullyingCanada.ca iam SA ae The Record production@sherbrookerecord.com ., ~ ~ ~ ts oN.4 CAT LA oO [I .FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2013 Page 15 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people.past and present.Each letter in the cipher stands for another \u201cEHWWBHDL BR ZBUL AYPPBCD GJYW FHCT BCPJ H VHD JO RCHULR BC PFL FJAL JO AYZZBCD JYP HC LLZ.\u201d \u2014 ZLJCHWTJ TH SBCIB Previous Solution: \u201cAll men are sculptors, constantly chipping away the unwanted part of their lives trying to create a masterpiece.\u201d \u2014 Eddie Murphy CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present.Each letter in the cipher stands for another \u201cUYGOLMKA HGVC AGKGVOXXC, M BMKW RTOR PDJGK OVG UYMVMRIOXXC, GJDRMDKOXXC OKW DBRGK YTCUMSOXXC URVDKAGY RTOK ul saxeus jo Beq e oul puey nok Bumnd ey si sbeusep, :uoNjog snolnald XOFrMXO 9OAOV \u2014 NDT KIT N\u2019 CARLYLE \u2014 © 2013 UFS, Inc.TE Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS HERMAN 28 © LaughingStock internatona!
