a fact which, in combination with the lunch rush, resulted in quite a crowded reception for the travelling Liberal MP.\u201cThe campaign is anchored in the fact that the party needs to reconnect with Canadians and rebuild confidence,\u201d Trudeau said of his visit, \u201cFor me that .Let\u2019s go to the mall Justin Trudeau at Carrefour de L\u2019Estrie happens on the ground.\u201d Trudeau was accompanied in his march across the mall by members of the Liberal Party\u2019s youth wing and Eti- enne Couture, who was representing the Liberal Party in the Brome-Missisquoi region, and who organized Trudeau's tour through the Eastern Townships.This entourage buzzed about like bees around Trudeau, offering everyone in the area GORDON LAMBIE Justin Trudeau shakes hands with a woman at the Carrefour de l\u2019Estrie on Friday.the opportunity to sign up as a sup porter of the Liberal Party.\u201cWe are registering people to be supporters of Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada,\u201d Couture said.\u201cSupporters are anyone over 18 who wants to support the Liberal Party and vote for the Liberal leader at the next leadership convention in April.\u201d According to Couture, all those who By Claudia Villemaire RICHMOND t was a whirlwind tour \u2014 very little politicking.But Justin Trudeau managed to win the hearts and minds of residents and staff alike as he was guided through the Wales Home, a \u201chomelike\u201d facility near Richmond.Katherine Brock, proudly claiming her 98-and-a-half years was obviously delighted for the chance of a close encounter with this personable candidate for the Liberal leadership.And all who met him agreed if he could win the top spot on the basis of a warm and friendly character, he would win hands down.\u201cHe will certainly be a great leader someday,\u201d Brock said thoughtfully, \u201cbut maybe not yet.Perhaps he\u2019ll need to get more experience before, she added, \u201cbut he\u2019s very nice, friendly and sincere and I think has a great future in politics.\u201d Touring the Foyer Wales Home facility was just one of several stops in the Eastern Townships scheduled Friday.Liberal leadership candidate Trudeau tours Wales Home Trudeau did take the time to emphasize that getting the Liberals back in their traditional roles in government could underline the need to protect the integrity and privacy of citizens, especially considering recent amendments to the Employment Insurance, Bill 14 which allows teams of investigators to question EI recipients with emphasis on El fraudulent claims and claimants who have a record of frequent claims.But this was not a day for long speeches.This was a meet-and-greet tour.Unannounced and unofficial, Trudeau\u2019s tour at Foyer Wales Home probably won him a majority of votes in that locale.Trudeau\u2019s only encouragement to vote for him was in his announcement that one need not be an official delegate to a convention.A vote could be as simple as signing a form that would result in a ballot being mailed to every signatory and the rest would be up to them.Of course, for those comfortable with computers, this could also be accomplished online.Justin Trudeau shares a moment with 98- CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE year-old Katherine Brock.signed up will receive an e-mail reminder to go vote on the party website when the time comes.After taking the time to meet and greet the food court, Trudeau held a brief media scrum wherein he outlined the objectives of his tour and some of his vision for the party.Foremost, Trudeau established that he wants it to be clear that the vote is for all Canadians, and not just for party members.\u201cWe need the input of Canadians to choose a leader,\u201d he said, adding that he thinks it will be challenging to rebuild confidence in the party, based on what he has heard across the country.In response to criticism by other candidates Trudeau was unphased and for- ward-thinking.: \u201cThe leader of the Liberal Party will eventually be faced with differing opinions,\u201d he said.\u201cA campaign is built around these kinds of difference.I am proud of the campaign I am running, and others are free to run theirs in their own way.\u201d \u2019 Overall, his message was one of meeting people on their various levels and helping them to get reacquainted with the Liberal Party.\u201cI believe that we can no longer just speak from a podium and wait for the people to return to the Liberal Party.We need to be active on the ground, meeting people, building confidence.\u201d The election for the federal Liberal leadership takes place in April.EES lives here.Multiple sclerosis never hits just one person.It affects the entire family.MS Muitiple Sclerosis RV RD society of Canada 1-800-268-7582 www.mssociety.ca Order War Amps Key Tags to Protect Your Keys!

Unlike Kilimanjaro, where climbers are obliged to climb with a guide, there is no obligation on Aconcagua to hire a guide, although that decision can be a costly one.\u201cClimbers who go up with a guide are examined three times during the climb by a medical doctor,\u201d Paul Beaubien explains.\u201cIf you make the climb with the doctor\u2019s approval and you fall sick or injure yourself, you'll be taken off the mountain by helicopter and brought to safety.If you make the climb without medical consent, and something happens, you'll still be rescued, but you'll have to pay for the rescue.The helicopter can\u2019t make it to the top of Aconcagua because the air is too thin but it does go up to the Nido de Condores camp at 5,570m.\u201d The group began the climb on New Year's Day with a hike from the park entrance (2,900m) to Camp Confluencia (3,400m).(By way of comparison, Mount Orford has a vertical drop of 590m, but Orford\u2019s summit is only 850m above sea level.) The climbers spent two nights at Confluencia before climbing to Plaza de Mulas (4,300m) \u2014 so named because the baggage carrying mules can climb no higher \u2014 where they spent five nights.\u201cThe days spent in camp were a little boring,\u201d Denis admits.\u201cThe camp is second only to Mount Everest\u2019s base camp in Browne County size.It could accom- NEWS 4 modate some 400 ! people, but there \u201cwasn\u2019t much to do ; and everything was expensive: & breakfast was $25 and 15 minutes of Internet access cost $10.\u201d The waiting period at Plaza de Mulas was necessary because at higher altitudes the blood\u2019s ability to carry oxygen starts to diminish, and while the body can adapt to a higher altitude, it normally needs a few weeks to fully do so.It was also an occasion for the guides to test out the climbers.The group set off on two extended climbs that permitted the guides to determine the energy and stamina levels of the various members.\u201cWe had three guides with us,\u201d says Paul, \u201cand a fourth person who was an apprentice.Becoming a guide on Aconcagua requires a three-year course; guides know the mountain and have considerable medical expertise.We also hired porters, one each, and they carried the 20 kg per person of clothing and equipment we were permitted.These are among the highest-paid porters in the world earning $200 per climbing day and they are in remarkable shape.They don\u2019t remain with the group but return to the base camp at Plaza de Mulas every evening.Two of our porters were women.\u201d On setting out from Plaza de Mulas the climbers were thankful for sunny skies.The weather, which can change even more suddenly on mountaintops than it does in valleys, was excellent.In fact, perhaps even too good: several in the group suffered fairly serious sunburn, particularly on their noses.It could have been worse.Days prior to their arrival, meteorological instruments at the top of the mountain had recorded 115 km/hour winds and temperatures of -25C.The group shrunk as it ascended the mountain.Ironically, Céline Desautel, who had organized the trip, was one of the first to renounce the climb, and of the original 14, only 12 made it to Camp Canada (5,050m).Only nine got as far as Nido de Condores and by the time they got to Camp Colera (6,000m), the last camp before the peak, they had lost one more.\u201cWe got up at 4:00 to start climbing at 5:00,\u201d recalls Denis.\u201cWe were looking at 10 or 11 hours of climbing, the first few of those in darkness.Once we reached the peak we would turn around and start a descent which might take as long as five hours.\u201d \u201cOn setting out I was already exhausted and running mostly on willpower,\u201d he continues.\u201cWe were 12 in all: eight of the original group plus three guides and the apprentice.At roughly 6,150m, one of the group had to turn back with altitude sickness \u2014 headache and vomiting.One of the guides accompanied him down.At 6,400m another climber was experiencing exhaustion and could go no further.A second guide would have to accompany him down as well.It was a critical moment.\u201d \u201cPablo, the head guide, told us to take stock of ourselves.We couldn\u2019t stop to rest because the weather looked as if it might be breaking.If one more person had to turn back, then the entire group would have to renounce the summit.Were all of us sure we could make it to the top?It was a difficult decision,\u201d Denis recalls.At 6,400m the group was 560 vertical metres from the top, less than the climb from the base to the top of Mount Or- ford.It was 9:00 in the morning.At that point Paul and Denis, independently of each other, and a third climber, Stephan Mackenzie, made the difficult but altruistic choice to renounce the summit and start walking down the mountain.Altitude sickness, which can and does lead to death, takes different forms.For Paul and Denis, it was sleeplessness.In Paul\u2019s case he would crawl into his sleeping bag and feel his heart pounding rapidly, as if he\u2019d just run a race.Denis, instead, would fall asleep only to wake up a minute or two later gasping for breath and sometimes seized by panic.Both realized that 48 hours is a long time to go without sleep, that a misstep on their part could cost the others the summit, that discretion is the better part of valour.Three of the original 14 \u2014 Louis Chainé of Danville, Jean-Pierre Deguire of Victoriaville, and Claude Allaire of Victoriaville \u2014 made it to the top shortly before 4 p.m.The ascent was slow.They'd take one step, take five deep breaths of the oxygen-thin, mountaintop air, then take another step.Everyone made it back to Mendoza two days later and got safely home to Quebec five days after that.For those who could compare Aconcagua with Kilimanjaro, the Argentine mountain was a very different experience.Aconcagua, which draws far fewer people, remains a relatively pristine mountain.All refuse and waste (including human waste) is carted back down the mountain.Argentina itself has a very European flavour.People were pleasant.The food (except for the meal at Camp Colera) was good.Would any of them do it again?One member of the group, when he got back down to Plaza de Mulas, promptly sold his boots.Paul returned home with the thought that perhaps high-altitude mountain climbing wasn\u2019t for him.Denis returned home \u201d CONT'D ON PAGE 8 The Record, | newsroom\u201d sherbrookerecord.com MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2013

according to Karine Vallieres, the member of the legislature for Richmond.\u201cOur party will vote against it,\u201d she said in a telephone interview Friday.\u201cIt is not a justifiable measure.We see it as direct attack by the PQ on a vital linguistic balance.\u201d The bill would, among other things, remove the treasured bilingual status from dozens of municipalities where anglophones reside.In the Téwnships, that means towns such as North Hatley, Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Brome Lake, Bolton East, Bury, Ogden, Ulverton and Sutton would no longer be allowed to provide English services or bilingual signs as they do now.Only towns that have an exact 50 per cent anglophone population such as West Bolton, Brome Village and Stanstead would remain bilingual.\u201cThe bilingual status of a municipality should not be made at the discretion of a minister,\u201d argued Vallieres.\u201cIt should be up to the elected members of the municipal council.They know their own towns and what they need.It is their democratic right.\u201d Vallieres, who is the Liberal\u2019s official critic on \u201cpoverty,\u201d said her party also opposes other aspects of the bill such as: * Making companies

Scoute de l\u2019Estrie, the Eastern Townships\u2019 French scouting movement, gathered at the offices of the CIMA Engineering firm on King street West on Thursday morning, to publicly announce the honorary president of their 17th annual fundraising campaign, Frédéric Coté.Coté, an engineer with CIMA and former scout, reaffirmed his scouting promise before those assembled to demonstrate his commitment to the role of honorary president.There are three main objectives to the fundraising campaign: Training adults \u2014 raising funds with the aim of optimizing training activities and rendering them more accessible to animators and group coordinators.Financial Aid \u2014 giving financial support to disadvantaged youth who wish to join the scouting movement.Development and promotion \u2014 developing and animating scouting in the Eastern Townships so that it can continue to be a first-rate source of programming for the young people in the area.Mélanie Tanguay, the district development agent for the foundation, spoke of the initiatives undertaken by the close to 1,100 local French scouts, making particular mention of a camporee, a regional gathering of scouting groups, which has been planned to take place in Bromptonville from June 30 to July 6 at Bromptonville High School.She said that this year they expect about 1,000 people \u2014 800 participants and 200 volunteers.When asked about cooperation between the foundation and Scouts Canada, the anglophone scouting organization, Tanguay said that they were open to and actively seeking participation and cooperation with Anglophone Scouts Canada groups.\u201cIt\u2019s open to anyone who wants to come join us,\u201d she shared, regarding the camporee, though she then added, \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s anyone (English) registered.\u201d Tanguay shared that while the French CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 8 GORDON LAMBIE Honourary president and regional chief scout Frédéric Côté reaffirmed his

being given their diplomas.* Having the power to reject those wanting to immigrate to Quebec solely on their lack of knowledge of French.* The establishment of a larger force of language inspectors with powers of investigation authorized by the language minister.The bill was introduced in December despite promises by Premier Pauline Marois that anglophone residents\u2019 rights \u201cwould not be threatened.\u201d The bill is supposed to be voted on in the spring, after public hearings scheduled for March.But Vallieres would not say if defeating the bill would count as a non-confidence vote that could defeat the government and bring on a new provincial election.The last time the Liberals promised opposition to an assembly bill, that of the budget last December, the party voted against it but not enough members showed up to defeat the government.Party members have vowed not to bring down the government before they have selected a new leader in April.Another unknown is the mood of the third opposition party, the CAQ, which is made up of some former dissatisfied PQ members.The CAQ has 19 seats in the legislature, enough to give a majority yes vote to the bill.Did they return early or are they departing late?Or did they decide to winter in the Townships?Three Canada geese were spotted on the Massawippi River Thursday morning.They were really tired and only moved because of

me.Subject matter?Well, the list seems inexhaustible: dishwashers, stop lights, motivational speakers, television screens, golf, lawyers, power hoses, parking problems, remotes, household tools, visiting relatives, etc.The commentaries varied and ranged widely: short or drawn out; thoughtful or angry tirades; mellow reflections or robust rants.Whatever his \u201ctake,\u201d it was most always fun.Here are a few samples of Finkleman on a roll: \u201cFollow the advice of motivational speakers and you\u2019il be out of a job in a week.\u201d \u201cSign up for a two-day total immersion swimming session and you'll be wet, out of money, and possibly drowned.\u201d \u201cGood golfers cannot teach anyone to play golf.Sure, you get suggestions that may help a little but forget it.It\u2019s 80 to 85 per cent natural ability.\u201d \u201cGiant TV screens?Listen folks, my TV is 25 years old.Want a clearer picture?It\u2019s easy.Move your chair closer.\u201d \u201cRelatives/friends coming to visit?There's a golden rule.Never waver.Two days \u2014 and so long, it\u2019s been good to know you.\u201d Some listeners found Finkleman too cynical and critical.On occasion he was, but at other times he was a man ahead of his time.He made a strong case for getting rid of traffic lights and having more roundabouts.Recently more roundabouts have appeared in the Lennoxville area and some people dislike them.Well, no surprise.You have to slow down and be more careful, which flies in the face of Quebecois drivers\u2019 preferences.In fact recent research supports and confirms Finkleman'\u2019s argumentation.Removing traffic lights results in less congestion and fewer accidents.Counter intuitive perhaps but true.Think of the times when the stop lights go off by chance or mishap.Before the police arrive people regularly sort out the problem themselves.It has happened to me.We apply intelligence along with politeness and a lot more care and vigilance.We wait our turn.And the traffic moves smoothly.This is not just personal experience.One or two examples must suffice but for more information consult James C.Scott\u2019s \u201cTwo Cheers for Anarchism.\u201d Or get a coffee and pull over near either 12th or 13th street and rue Conseil in Sherbrooke.Observe the flow of traffic especially at a busy time of day.(Finkleman 1.Critics 0.) The defence rests.What I fear is people with petitions for traffic lights at these corners.Exactly what we don\u2019t need.More accidents, more congestion.Please God, no.We have the capabilities to live, work and travel together without engineers and politicians continually controlling and directing us at every turn \u2014 and every corner.There are other things we can do.Signage removal offers a worthy option.| think of this almost every time I approach Lennoxville from Highway 108 along College Street by Bishop's University.There is a distracting electric sign across from the University\u2019s main exit with such messages as, \u201cThe next meeting of the Lennoxville Borough Council tit ee RECORD PO.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 5L6 or 1195 Galt E, Sherbrooke J1G 1Y7 FAX FOR NEWSROOM ONLY: 819-569-3945 E-MAIL: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com WEBSITE: www.sherbrookerecord.com SHARON MCCULLY PUBLISHER 1.12.(819) 569-9511 DANIEL COULOMBE NEWS EprroR .(819) 569-6345 STEPHEN BLAKE CORRFSP.EDFIOR .4819) 569-6345 SERGE GAGNON CHIFF PRESSMAN .(819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTING .(819) 569-9511 ADVERTISING .-.4819) 569-9525 CIRCULATION .(819) 569-9528 NEWSROOM .(819) 569-6345 KNOWITON OFFICE 5B VICTORIA STREFT, KNOWITQN, QUEBI-C, JOE 1VO Tri: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS USF PST TOTAL Quine FEAR ; 120.00 6.00 1197 S137.97 6 MONTHS 63.00 315 628 $72.43 3 MONTHS 3200 160 3.19 $36.79 ON-LINE SUBSCRIPTIONS Quine JRTRYY 55.00 275 549 $63.24 1 MONTII 499 025 050 $5.74 Rates for out of Quebec and for other services avaîlabte on te quest.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9, 1897.and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record.1195 Galt East.Sherbrooke, QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA will be.\u201d Or, \u201cBishop\u2019s University basketball team is playing.\u201d I don\u2019t think I've ever captured or finished reading one of these many \u201chelpful\u201d messages before the sign changes.I am not a slow reader.And at this point in my life I don\u2019t need further distractions so I ignore that sign.More signs mean more drivers taking their eyes of the road.Find signs you can eliminate \u2014 especially that useless electric one.It\u2019s just common sense and supports safe responsible driving.Now if we can only get Quebecois male and female drivers to re nounce their bizarre romance with tailgating.Years ago I was rear-ended by a speeding half-awake truck driver.Once is enough.Today I too often relive those terrifying moments with fellow citizens roaring up behind me at top speed.Conclusion In the early fifties with six friends, my brother and I rented a cottage at Green- hurst resort area near Peterborough.The dance hall was packed every Saturday night.There are good stories and some not so good but I limit myself to one.A friend with a small band had a song that got ranked in the top fifty.« The big time!

a 34-year teacher at Sunnyside Elementary School - has coordinated the ETSB primary school basketball tournament, and after an illustrious adventure of hoops and little troops, she is ready to pass the torch on to the next generation.\u201cOf all the events in which we partake, it\u2019s my favourite, because I'm so passionate about the game,\u201d said Lemay.The annual invitational tournament was hosted at Alexander Galt Regional High School, and has been for a number of years.The high school\u2019s four gymnasiums and proportional athletic facilities serve as an ideal location to accommodate young players, parents, friends, and family.Every year, the event assembles young, athletic boys and girls from schools across the Townships: Ayers Cliff, Magog, Stanstead, North Hatley, Sherbrooke, and Lennoxville.Along with voluntary coaches and parents the enthusiastic hordes of mini superstars file into the gym wearing oversized T- shirts and enthusiastic smiles.At 9 a.m., more than 100 students sit JOSH QUIRION ACES and LES ready to rumble in the tournament finals.cross-legged in circles with their teams, raise their hands as a common abidance of silence, and direct their attention to Lemay, who is standing fast, ready to address the masses one last time.With a radiant, genuine passion for basketball and the event, she reiterated the rules, guideline, and expectations, without omitting to welcome and thank the invited scorers and referees.\u201cIt\u2019s a collaborative effort, I could not do it by myself.It\u2019s the implication of the teachers, staff members, and old students/players that allows for the event to run smoothly,\u201d adds Lemay.The tournament kicked off, and every score was accompanied with girly shrieks and boyish fist pumps.The atmosphere was filled with excitement and positive encouragement.One team who was losing by a score of 30-0 scored a basket with 10 seconds to go, 30-2, the crowd erupted with cheerful applause, even the team who was scored on joined the celebration! A few hours of grinding and balling later, the day came to a close, and the masses were assembled one last time for a final thank-you and good-bye.Exhausted basketball mini superstars returned home, and the vast emptiness of the gym re-established its contented silence.Between Sunnyside and Alexander Galt, Lemay combines more than 40 years of illustrious coaching in the ETSB.\u201cAs a coach you develop very different relationships with your players than with your students.I am fortunate right now in having three boys who I taught and coached at Sunnyside on my Galt senior boy\u2019s basketball team.I've known two of these kids since kindergarten.That makes this year's team kind of special.\u201d Lemay states that her most memorable moment in the tournament\u2019s history was the smile on Jack Gustin\u2019s face when he scored the winning basket in sudden death, 20 years ago! This memory is demonstrative of what Lemay believes the occasion is all about, \u201cthe smiles, the participation, learning the game, and loving the game.\u201d It is a relentless endeavour to provide local youths with an opportunity to be unified through basketball year after year.Lemay\u2019s contribution to the local community will not be forgotten.For countless years of diligent service, we say thank you!

John Edwards Special to The Record reminder of the eventual onset of Aone came on Thursday, as the herbrooke Expos announced the hiring of Steve Oleschuck to be their new manager.Oleschuck, 71, is a longtime baseball coach and scout, but the Sherbrooke native is returning to coach in his hometown for the first time in 22 years.Oleschuck played minor league baseball in the Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Detroit organizations during the 1960s, and has been a Major League scout since 1970.He is currently scouting for the Arizona Diamondbacks after stints with San Diego, Anaheim and Pittsburgh.\u201cThe Stade Amedée-Roy is my second home,\u201d said the well-traveled Oleschuck, whose 30-plus year managerial career has come full circle, having begun with the Sherbrooke A's in 1979, and included lifferent stints with the A\u2019s until 1991.Oleschuck\u2019s resume includes stops around Quebec, and four years in Europe, where he coached in the French and German leagues.He was also the manager of the French national team in 1999.\u201cIt\u2019s been 22 years sinc.|'ve been away from Sherbrooke, as far as baseball is concerned,\u201d said Oleschuck.\u201cI never thought I'd get the call to come back.Twenty-two years is a long time.I've been all over Europe, to Germany, to France, and I've even had the pleasure of coaching in Coaticook.taal JOHN EDWARDS Steve Oleschuck (centre) and François Lecuyer pose with Sherbrooke Expos mascot Expouff after Oleschuk\u2019s hiring as the Expos manager, February 22 in Sherbrooke.\u201cNow I'm back in Sherbrooke where it\u2019s going to mean something.I'm very pleased to be back.\u201d Oleschuck\u2019s hiring represents a first for the Expos, who had previously used player-managers, most recently Jason Benson, who is set to remain with the club as a pitcher and will assist Oleschuck.The Expos, who last won the Quebec Senior Elite Baseball League championship in 2009, went 21-13 last season and finished fourth in the 13- team circuit before falling to Coaticook in the league semifinals.François Lecuyer, who is going into his ninth season as the club\u2019s owner, cited a need to keep pace with the changing market in Sherbrooke, as well as the fact that being a player-manager is a task \u201cthat nobody really wants.\u201d \u201cWe had to have someone who would take the game on his shoulders, and Steve is the perfect person for that.I've known Steve for a long time, and he knows what he has to do with the players and with the organization and the re- ality of our sport.\u201d Oleschuck promises that

The Record | I have been called a slut and a troublemaker and threatened about almost everything MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2013 Dear Annie: My husband criticizes me all the time.He also says the nastiest, most hurtful things when we argue.I have been called a slut and a troublemaker and threatened about almost everything.I don\u2019t believe he feels bad about the way he treats me, and even when I tell him how painful it is, he continues to do it.We all have made mistakes in our past, but he paints himself as the most innocent and pure person alive.Because of all of this, I find it hard to be intimate with him.My husband tells me he says these things because I am provoking him.Counseling is out of the question, as he would never admit there is a problem with the way he treats me.Would someone behave like this if he doesn\u2019t mean it?\u2014 N.N.Dear N.N.: Your husband is a classic verbal abuser.Constant criticism and calling you names is a way to control and manipulate you.He also threatens you so you will be afraid of angering him.He refuses to discuss his behavior because he doesn\u2019t want to take responsibility for it.You have told him his words are hurtful, but it makes no difference.His abuse is not your fault, but it is important that you make it clear it is unacceptable.Otherwise, Annie\u2019s Mailbox he will continue to belittle you, and in some cases, the behavior can escalate to physical abuse.Please lean on your family and friends for support, letting them know what is going on.We also strongly urge you to get counseling on your own in order to decide whether you can set boundaries that he will follow, or whether you must leave for your own safety and sanity.Dear Annie: I am a 25-year-old woman with very short, spiky hair.I wear girly clothes, yet time and time again, people think I am gay.It drives me absolutely crazy.I have seen my hairstyle on other women, and it would never occur to me to think they are gay.I admire guys when they walk by like any other woman my age.I like my hair short because it takes me three minutes to style, which means I can sleep longer.My hair is also rather thin, so a longer style looks straggly.\u2019 The length of my hair has nothing to do with my sexual orientation.I hope people will see this and think twice.\u2014 Short, Sassy and Straight Dear Short: With so many female celebrities wearing short, spiky hairstyles these days, we are amazed that anyone would make such assumptions.Ask a few friends why your appearance gives others this impression.Or, if it bothers you, consider different makeup to feminize your face, although you do not need to justify your look to anyone.If you like it, that\u2019s all that matters.Dear Annie: Please tell \u201cFrustrated Viewer in Canada\u201d and other readers that almost all newer flat-screen televisions can be set to meet their audio needs.My family recently was surprised to discover that TV stations were already broadcasting programs with wonderful audio.All we needed to do was read the owner\u2019s manual for our TV and make the necessary adjustments to the audio settings.In our case, we also were able to attach external speakers using an amplifier, which gave us even clearer and richer sound.Not only is the dialogue easier to understand, but the hearing-impaired member of our household no longer has to wear special headphones to hear the TV.And what's even more unbelievable, the music in the commercials sounds so good, we no longer feel an urgent need to push the \u201cmute\u201d button.\u2014

M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: I was recently diagnosed with dys- thymia.Can you tell me more about this condition?Is it the same as depression?DEAR READER: Dysthymia is a form of depression.It is less severe than major depression, but usually lasts longer.Many people with dysthymia describe having been depressed as long as they can remember.They also are at a greater risk of developing major depression.Dysthymia is not quite as common as full-blown depression, but still is fairly common.During the course of a year, about two people out of every 100 will suffer from dysthymia.It is about twice as common in women as in men.The symptoms of dysthymia are similar to those of major depression, but they tend to be less intense.In both conditions, a person can: \u2014 Have a low or irritable mood.\u2014 Experience a decrease in pleasure.\u2014 Have low energy.\u2014 Feel relatively unmotivated.\u2014 Feel disengaged from the world.\u2014 Experience an increase or decrease in appetite and weight.\u2014 Sleep too much or have trouble sleeping.\u2014 Have difficulty concentrating.\u2014 Feel indecisive.\u2014 Feel pessimistic.\u2014 Have a poor self-image.Dysthymia lasts for long periods, sometimes starting in childhood.As a result, a person with dysthymia tends to believe that depression is part of his or her character.He or she may not even think to talk about it with doctors, family or friends.I remember telling a patient that I thought he suffered from dysthymia.He replied, \u201cI don\u2019t have any kind of depression.I'm just grumpy.\u201d His wife added, \u201cHis mother says he was born grumpy.\u201d Treatment usually includes emotional support and education about depression.Cognitive behavioral therapy examines and helps correct faulty, self-critical thought patterns.Psychotherapy can help sort out conflicts in important relationships or explores the history behind the symptoms.An antidepressant medication can be very helpful.Antidepressants recommended for dysthymia are the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs such as fluoxetine); serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs such as venlafaxine); mirtazapine; and bupropion.Your doctor may add a different type of drug to your treatment \u2014 for example, a mood stabilizer or anti-anx- iety medication.We have more information on depression in our Special Health Report, \u201cUnderstanding Depression.\u201d (Learn more about this report at AskDoctorK.com, or call 877-649-9457 toll-free to order it.) With treatment, symptoms often go away completely.However, continued treatment is usually necessary to prevent symptoms from returning.What is important is treatment, not diagnostic labels.My patient who insisted he was just \u201ca grumpy person\u201d agreed to try an antidepressant.Two months later, the patient told me he wasn\u2019t sure if the medicine was helping, but added that he would be happy to stay on it.His wife said, \u201cYou really should,\u201d and then turned to me and said, \u201cHe\u2019s not grumpy anymore.\u201d Whether the treatment cured dysthymia or grumpiness, what mattered was that two people were happier.Studies show genetic factors play a role in stuttering ASK DOCTOR K by Anthony L.Komaroff, M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: My child stutters.Why does he do this?What can we do to help him?DEAR READER: | remember the first time I met someone who stuttered.He was a playmate when [ was in grade school, whose parents knew my parents.He talked about his parents a lot, but I never heard him say the words \u201cmother\u201d or \u201cfather.\u201d It was always \u201cm- m-m-mother\u201d or \u201cf-f-f-father.\u201d When I asked my mom about him, she explained that he was probably having \u201cemotional problems.\u201d That made sense to me; I couldn\u2019t think of another reason why someone would have trouble saying such simple words.My mom's \u201cdiagnosis\u201d reflected common beliefs.For a long time, stuttering was believed to be a psychological problem.But recent research suggests that stuttering has a strong biological basis, even though it may also be affected by emotions.For example, stuttering tends to run in families.Obviously, that could be explained by emotional tensions in the family.But it also could indicate that genetic (inherited) factors play a role.In fact, recent studies indicate that genetic factors probably play a larger role than scientists once thought.À study published in 2010 in the New England Journal of Medicine identified specific changes in genes (short sequences of genetic material) that may increase the risk of stuttering.At least one of these genes is particularly active in parts of the brain linked to motor function and emotion.Speech involves tremendous motor coordination.There also is evidence that strong emotions and anxiety can intensify stuttering.You can\u2019t change your child\u2019s genetic inheritance, but you can influence his emotional state.In particular, you can help your child by doing the following: \u2014 Be a patient, attentive listener.\u2014 Do not finish your child\u2019s words or sentences and do not interrupt.\u2014 Do not pressure your child to speak to strangers or perform in public.\u2014 Work with family members or teachers to provide a relaxed environment for your child.Your child may benefit from working with a speech- language pathologist (SLP).SLPs use many different types of speech therapy to treat stuttering.Some of the most effective methods include: \u2014 Modeling slower speaking.\u2014 Teaching exercises for breath control and reduc ing tension on the vocal cords.\u2014 Using a computer or other devices to give immediate feedback on how the child is doing with various strategies.It is possible that discovering genes that cause stuttering might one day lead to specific treatments that reverse the adverse effects of these genes.More likely, recent genetic discoveries may help identify kids who could benefit from early treatment.Such treatment of stuttering is the best hope for preventing symptoms from getting worse and becoming a long-term problem.Genetic studies could identify newborns who are at risk for stuttering and begin treating these high-risk children early in life.Such treatment helped my childhood friend.He learned to reduce his stuttering and became a highly accomplished doctor.

they are letting lawyers, instead of their conscience, be their guide.\u201d At the bridge table, defenders have gotten much smarter over the last couple of decades, letting their partners be their guide instead of guessing.In this example deal, how should West plan the defense against three spades after he leads the club ace: jack, two, five?MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2013 Page 15 North 02-25-13 &AJ752 VQ97 + Q97 #æQJ West East & K ® \u2014 VK2 VA86543- + K542 + 10863 æAK10863 &942 South # Q1098643 V J10 + AJ #75 Dealer: South Vulnerable: Both South West North East 24 3& 3a All pass Opening lead: & A Since South was vulnerable, had a relatively weak suit and 7-2-2-2 distribution, he opened with two spades, not three.No doubt North should have jumped to four spades, but that would have ruined the story.West needs to find five tricks.There are two logical ways to procure them: East has the heart ace and the defenders can take two clubs, two hearts and the spade king, promoted as a winner on the third round of hearts.Or East has ace- jack-third of diamonds, giving East-West two clubs and three diamonds.But how does West know which way to turn?Under the club king, East can play his nine or his four.Each can be used to send a suit-preference signal.Here, because East has the heart ace, in the higher-ranking of the other two side suits, he plays his club nine.Then West will know to cash his heart king and continue with his second heart.East will win with his ace and play a third heart, letting West score his spade king.Watch out for employing \u201cuseless\u201d cards for suit-preference signals when attitude and count are either known or irrelevant.Across 1 Apt.parts, in ads 4 Talking head 10 Big name in ATMs 13 Charged particles 15 Black-and-blue mark, e.g.16 Suffix for pay 17 Soft hit that barely makes it over the infield 19 Cranberry-growing area 20 Africa\u2019s Sierra __ 21 Fed.retirement org.22 \u201cT\u201d on a test, usually 23 Like dodos and dinosaurs 26 Foray 28 Archaeological age-determination process 31 Texting units: Abbr.34 Rowboat mover 35 Wish granter 36 \u201cHow was __ know?\u201d mo|vi=|- miDIO|\u2014|D|DI
