Da!\" My Gran joined in, but when they finally reached him, she made strange, because she had- n't seen him for a year, and that was two- thirds of her little life.She didn't recognize her Da.He probably had to get used to how she had grown up too.My great-grandfather had taken work in East Angus, and that is where they would remain for roughly fifteen years until making a move to Bromptonville, where my grandparents met, fell in love 'shacked up for nine years' as my grandfather used to refer to their long courtship (and no, they didn't shack up, my grandfather just really used to love to get my Gran's goat.and get it he did) before marrying in 1936 and raising three kids, eventually settling in Richmond.We spent a lot of time with our grand- parents.Probably as much as many Townships kids, and more than others.overall probably more than most.So, we heard the stories over and over again, and now I'm so glad we did.I knew that old piece of shawl, that had been kept in the steamer trunk that served as a bedside table.It was just a small section remaining, brown and tattered.So, when the house was emptied after Bamps died and Gran was settled into the Wales Home, and I didn't think of letting someone know, it was thrown away, unidentifiable unless you knew what it was - the last piece of my great- great-Gran's shawl, that had been wrapped around Gran's teddy bear.The time at my grandparents' is probably a big part of how I'm a nostalgia addict.I mourn that I wasn't there to identify that scrap of fabric, yet we can't hang onto everything.I'm glad I got to see it in Gran's hands as she told me what it was.It was Scotland, in a piece of fabric, somehow Glasgow was contained there.She called it 'the old country'.That expression has faded away in our family, but I imagine many recent immigrant families have terms that their children hear today much like that.Fond words for a home country they may never return to visit again.With the Quinn side of the family proudly descended of the Irish, and with the community of Richmond being conditioned to the upholding of St.Patrick's day celebrations, most of our family heritage pride was shown then.because the festivities were well-established and thriving.The Scottish heritage we celebrated every day, essentially, in the stories and my Gran's love of the bagpipes and who doesn't love a great tartan, or Scotch for that matter?Stories often came up at 4:00 tea when the world seemed to sort of stop and social time took place with our Great Auntie Maureen (and great she is) and our Auntie Helen, our Gran's best friends.On Mum's side, wouldn't you know it, a great-grandmother was an Urquhart a proud clan whose motto is Meane Well, Speake Weil, Doe Well, surrounding the family crest featuring a fierce, dark haired topless maiden.I learned more about her when I read the myth of the mermaid associated with Clan Urquhart.From www.clanurquhart.com - Stories and Myths - written by Jennifer Mc- Corkell, based on clan legends: \u2018There is said to be a mermaid, of enchanting beauty who graces the Black Isle with song and voice no mortal can match.Many men have seen her, but only the most resolved or most foolhardy will dare to approach her.It is said that if you can catch her, to gain her freedom she will grant you three wishes.but if you fail to hold her fast to the shore, she will drag you down to the secret depths from which no man has returned.You might think this an easy task, but do not be fooled for she has the magical strength of five men.Therefore, be warned by the wisdom of ages to trifle not with the beautiful creature, but be content to listen to her song.\u2019 She meant business! Talk about a fierce family mythical beast to be proud of, never mind the fact that Urquhart Castle happens to be the home of all Nessie research.right on the shores of Loch Ness.(Mum refers to it as our ancestral castle.I'm looking forward to a visit one day.) On top of that (pun intended) she wasn't simply a brave topless Scottish lass of old, she was a mermaid! Regarding celebrating Scottish heritage, over the years I had heard about Robbie Burns Day, and in recent years friends began celebrating with a traditional Burns Nicht (night) in recognition of Scotland's beloved poet (1759 - 1796), involving sharing Burns's works, a plate of haggis and a wee nip of whiskey on his birthday, January 25th.This year, the Richmond County Historical Society put together a special soirée in celebration, planned for this Saturday, January 21st, and swiftly the seventy tickets allocated to the event were sold.As luck would have it, I learned early enough about the gathering, and reserved a few tickets.Contemplating the event, and the handsome gent who would be accompanying me though, my usual wardrobe contemplation before attending event took a bigger twist.\u2018Maybe I should look into buying a kilt,\" he said.I'm sure I was wide-eyed.SEE TOMORROW'S EDITION OF THE RECORD For more on the Townships\u2019 own kilted plumber, and the discovery of The Kilt Society!

for this journey, which will likely begin at the Saint-Benoît-du-Lac Abbey will probably be the starting and ending point.Maillé explained that using the roads would make the project easier to achieve than a separate trail.The route will be partitioned into 12 stages that can be traveled over a period of seven days or more, depending on the walkers.Its difficulty will be low, ranging from easy to intermediate.The project, which will evolve over time, will require investments of $60,000, of which the Memphremagog MRC will contribute a total of $40,000.Four years for driving, drugs, and weapons

crossed paths with Côté's vehicle with him behind the wheel and began to chase him.Côté made several dangerous moves, crossed intersections without stopping at mandatory stops and drove over private property abandoning his vehicle in a parking lot and fleeing on foot.The officers then made a routine check of the vehicle and found a pistol and ammunition nearby.The SQ located Côté the next morning sitting at picnic table and, armed with a search warrant, searched his residence on Albert St.and found more ammunition, 32 cannabis plants, and cannabis in bulk.Côté has been detained since his

before an ambulance arrived.The player, who prefers not to be identified, collided with another player at around 10:20 p.m.and collapsed on the ice screaming.Another player, who works as a firefighter and first re- sponder in Montreal, immediately jumped on the ice to see to the seriously injured man.Seeing that the leg was badly misshapen, the off-duty firefighter called for someone call 9-1-1 and immobilized it.A first call to 9-1-1 was lodged by at 10:22 p.m.and was transferred to the Estrie Health Communication Center as is the procedure when it comes to a medical call.According to Jean-Francois Pellerin, director of operations at Ambulance de I'Estrie, the call was recorded as a \u2018pain in an extremity,\u201d coded 4 on a scale of 0 to 7.Meanwhile, a Bishop's University security guard showed up with a first aid kit.Oxygen was administered to the injured person who continued to be racked with pain.As the ambulance had not shown up, another call was lodged to 9-1-1, and then another.In total,9-1-1 was called seven times.The injured player was lying on the ice because bystanders did not want to risk moving him, believing that the ambulance would arrive quickly.At approximately 10:54 p.m., 30 minutes after the initial call, the call\u2019s priority was changed to a level 3 and an ambulance was dispatched to the scene, to arrive at 11:10 p.m., almost an hour after the initial call.At the 9-1-1 centre, staffers insist protocol was followed.\"In our protocols, a leg fracture is not a priority because it does not put the patient's life in danger,\u201d explains Santé Es- trie Communications Director Luc Lapointe.\u201cIt might seem cruel, but pain is not taken into account in assessments.Open or bleeding fractures are a priority, but not displacement fractures.They hurt a lot, but you don\u2019t die.\"We changed our priority level when, during one of the following calls, we were told that the patient was having difficulty breathing, probably because of the high level of pain,\" he added.By Friday night, the player had been stabilized in hospital and was operated on hospital.He was to be operated on to install screws to stabilize the leg Saturday.Emergency rooms in the region have been busy for the last ten days and this affects ambulance response times for emergency calls.For more than a week, \u2018ambulance retention\u2019

will bring about.\u201d It then outlines critical areas where the collision was and is still occurring: the atmosphere, water resources, oceans, soil, forests, species extinction and overpopulation.In the 25 years since it was published, the problems have worsened.The document grows bleak: \u201cNo more than one or a few decades remain before the chance to avert the threats we now confront will be lost and the prospects for humanity immeasurably diminished.We the undersigned, senior members of the world\u2019s scientific community, hereby warn all humanity of what lies ahead.A great change in our stewardship of the earth and life on it is required, if vast human misery is to be avoided and our global home on this planet is not to be irretrievably muti- T= longer we delay addressing envi- lated.\u201d Now, as monthly and annual records for rising global average temperatures continue to break, as extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, as refugees overwhelm the capacity of nations, and as tipping points for climatic feedback loops and other phenomena are breached, the need to act is more urgent than ever.The warning suggests five steps needed immediately.That was a generation ago.They can still help prevent the worst impacts: 1) \u201cWe must bring environmentally damaging activities under control to restore and protect the integrity of the earth\u2019s systems we depend on.\u201d It specifically mentions reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air and water pollution.It also highlights the need to address deforestation, degradation and loss of agricultural soils and extinction of plant and animal species.2) \u201cWe must manage resources crucial to human welfare more effectively.\u201d This one is obvious.Finite resources must be exploited much more efficiently or we\u2019ll run out.3) \u201cWe must stabilize population.This will be possible only if all nations recognize that it requires improved social and economic conditions, and the adoption of effective, voluntary family planning.\u201d 4) \u201cWe must reduce and eventually eliminate poverty.\u201d 5) \u201cWe must ensure sexual equality, and guarantee women control over their own reproductive decisions.\u201d The warning recognizes that we in the developed world are responsible for most global pollution and therefore must greatly reduce overconsumption while providing technical and financial aid to developing countries.This is not altruism but self-interest, because all of us share the same biosphere.Developing nations must realize environmental degradation is the greatest threat to their future, while rich nations must help them follow a different development path.The most urgent suggestion THE 6 Mallory, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIM 2E2 Fax: 819-821-3179 E-MAIL;

regularly targeted that we have to resume the collective path of protest.With campaigns like \u2018Sans oui c'est non\u2019 or \u2018Neither meat nor object,\u2019 women took centre stage and expressed their anger at phenomena that we had hoped were from another age.This anger as also manifested ad lib, in spontaneous social movements in which many allies took part in the cause.The cases of aggression that multiplied in 2016, the macho speeches sharply balanced against ordinary wide-spread sexism, and the unmarked violence are all false notes that dominated discussions last year.Let us not forget that a man entered, at night, students\u2019 rooms at a Quebec City campus and sexually assaulted them; That a radio host commenting on these events compared the rape to a car theft; That it took an extraordinary dose of tenacity for the abused female victims of sexual assault in Val d'Or to finally get the Couillard government to shed light on the systemic violence of which they are victims by a commission of inquiry into the relations between Aboriginal people and certain public services in Quebec.And now, through the recent Sexuality, Security and Interactions in Academia survey, we see 37 per cent of those working or studying at university have experienced at least one form of sexual violence since their arrival within the walls of that institution.On the side of our American neighbors, the future is not any rosier.The election of a misogynist as head of the most powerful state in the world is enough to raise incomprehension and anxiety.With his degrading remarks about women, public accusations of sexual assault, or his avowed opposition to the hard-won right to abortion, millions of Americans are already frightened of the future.They will need our solidarity and that is what we will express to them on January 21 in Montreal where a gathering has been organized, as elsewhere in the world, to give all our support to our American sisters.The bequest of 2016 may have been to give Quebec women a more powerful voice, but to be a genuinely egalitarian society, it is necessary to combat economic inequalities on a daily basis, to reduce poverty, to eliminate wage gaps, to do everything possible to stem stereotypes and discrimination in the personal and professional spheres, and to influence living and working conditions.For example, Ontario has recently introduced a bill that allows victims of sexual and domestic violence to take time off from work.It would also require managers to be trained in violence in the workplace.Are Ontario's labour laws in the act of helping and assisting these victims?Would it not be desirable for Quebec to take inspiration from Ontario to amend its own legislation?In 2017, we have to be feminist and to address violence against women once and for all.To achieve this, we will need all of us.It begins with the cessation of the devastation of public services by the Couillard government that has created so many negative impacts on the lives of women; By providing significant financial support to women's rights groups that perform miracles on the ground, including sexual assault centers, by raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, and by combating systemic discrimination in all settings.To be a feminist in 2017 means never being dissociated from all these just and legitimate causes.T- year 2016 saw

coming into the new year.The turn of the calendar from 2016 to 2017 has been beneficial for the Purple and Silver who closed off their first pair of game in 2017, a home-and-home series with the Laval Rouge et Or, with two wins.Travelling to Quebec City Friday for their first game since late November, an 81-73 loss to McGill, the Gaiters got off to a slow start falling behind 16-8 in the first quarter.In the second quarter the Gaiters outscored the Rouge et Or 17-14, to make the score 30-25 at half-time.After being held to 25-points in the first half, the Gaiters offence erupted for 22-points in the third quarter to take the lead 47-45 going into the fourth frame.Dave Belanger scored 11 of his team high 19-points in the third quarter while also grabbing 3-rebounds.The fourth quarter was where Bishop\u2019s pulled away against Laval going on an 8-2 run in the fourth before clos- Te Gaiters were 0-4 in their confer- ing out the game with their first win, 64- 58.\u201cWe no doubt felt good about winning Friday.Guys were happy, but understood that beating any team in our league back to back is very difficult.Our guys showed some maturity and resolve With a very business like approach and that resulted in an excellent start to the game\u201d said head coach Rod Gilpin.An excellent start seems almost like an understatement by the team\u2019s coach.Saturday in Mitchell Gymnasium, the Gaiters got off to a fast start finishing the first quarter up 23-9 on the Rouge et Or.The Gaiters were strong scoring on 47.6% (10-21) of shot attempts while holding Laval to 28.6% (4-14).Bishop\u2019s never gave up the lead in the game with the closest Laval ever coming to tying was an 8-point deficit in the second quarter.By the time half-time came, Laval was down by 20-points to the Gaiters.Bishop\u2019s largest lead was 25-points coming in the third quarter, finishing the game with a 15-point lead in an 84- 69 victory.The Gaiters had five players with at least 10-points in the second game.Be- langer led the way again with a team high 15-points, shooting 7-10 and 1-2 on free throws.Bermillo stepped up on defence causing turnovers with 8 steals against Laval over the two games.\u201cJona Bermillo and Dave Belanger really stepped up this week.As our only two seniors we rely on them to provide leadership.Other guys played well, but it begins and ends with Jona and Dave.\u201d According to Gilpin the team has stepped up their commitment to defence which has created more opportunities for the offence to contribute.\u201cWe have not changed too much since the first four games.We did have productive practices in December and January.I believe we are defending and rebounding at a higher level now.Our players have been committed to making the effort to do that each day in practice.\u201d The commitment showed against Laval.The Gaiters had 59-points off turnovers in the two games while Laval had 33-points.\u201cTo keep this momentum going we just need continue having quality practices.A couple of wins will help with this.We felt we were close in the first four games and we just have to stay the course.\u201d After knocking off the league\u2019s second ranked team twice in back to back games, up next for the Gaiters is fifth ranked UQAM in Mitchell Gymnasium January 20th.The Citadins are coming off back to back losses to top ranked McGill, 90-59 and 71-49.When the Gaiters and Citadins first met early in the season UQAM narrowly beat the Gaiters 76-72.The Lady Gaiters were handed two losses against the #3 nationally ranked Rouge et Or, 77-55 and 65-49.Norman\u2019s Gaiters are now 1-5 on the season heading into their matchup against UQAM who are 5-3.Milhomme and Belanger named Provigo Robert I.atond Athletes of the Week Submitted by Clare Webb Sports Information Assistant of Athletics and Recreation is pleased to announce that Ashley Milhomme of the women\u2019s basketball team and David Belanger of the men\u2019s basketball team have been named the Provigo Robert Lafond Athletes of the Week.Milhomme, from Repentigny, Que.had a double-double, 13 points and 11 rebounds against Laval on Saturday night in Mitchell Gym as the Gaiters fell 65-49 to the Rouge et Or.The College Montmorency product shot 5-20 from the floor and was 3-13 from beyond the arc in 32 minutes on the floor.On Friday night in Quebec City, the Gaiters lost 77- 55 to Laval.The sophomore, guard had eight points, five rebounds and one steal.Belanger, from Sherbrooke, Que.led the Gaiters in a pair of victories to open the 2017 portion of their RSEQ University men\u2019s basketball schedule.Bishop\u2019s swept the Laval Rouge et Or in a home- and-home series.The fourth year co-cap- Te Bishop\u2019s University Department tain tallied a game high 19 points on Friday night in Quebec City to pace Bishop\u2019s to a 64-58 victory.He was a stellar 8-11 from the floor, added eight rebounds and was a perfect 3-3 from the charity stripe.In front of his hometown fans and a roaring Mitchell Gym on Saturday night in the back-end of the home-and-home Belanger again led the Gaiters.The international studies student and Champlain St-Lambert alum scored 15 points on 7-10 shooting and added nine rebounds, six of which came at the offensive end as the Gaiters cruised to an 84-69 win.The Gaiters are next in action on Friday, Jan.20, when they host the UQAM Citadins at 6 and 8 p.m.The game will be part of the Bell Let\u2019s Talk campaign to end the stigma around mental illness.They will then travel to Montreal on Saturday to face UQAM at

and guests, gathered at the clubhouse on Prospect Street for the first event of 2017.The occasion was the President\u2019s Reception, held annually shortly after the start of the New Year.The reception is the most formal event on the club\u2019s calendar and this evening was no exception.The 2nd had been a mostly sunny day with intermittent clouds popping up from time to time.By evening the temperature hovered around the freezing mark, making the outing a pleasant experience.A lively crowd of nearly 90 individuals had amassed by the appointed dining hour of six o\u2019clock.While waiting for the call to be seated, members and guests alike were entertained musically by the talents of Janice Graham on the piano.Two focal points were the old brick fireplace with its warmth and ambiance, as well as the nearby punch bowl where tasty sips of A Formal Reception flavoured fruit juice were available for the asking.As well, appetizers of vegetables and dip were passed out in advance of the meal.As the crowd took up their seats in the rear dining hall, President Karl Hunting called for order and requested everyone to stand for the singing of the national anthem.Former President Harry Brown asked the blessing as White Knights waited anxiously to deliver the evening meal.The meal started off with servings of green salad spiced with an Asiatic dressing.Entrees soon followed consisting of healthy portions of roast beef with mashed potatoes and carrots.A dessert serving of apple crumb and ice cream rounded out the meal.The dining was enhanced this evening with the placement of candle arrangements on all the tables, adding a touch of elegance.As the dining wound down, a drawing was held for the floral arrangement with Nancy Townshend, daughter of the late Past President Meridith Barter, the lucky winner.Subsequent drawings for the evening\u2019s door prizes went to veteran members Alan Cox and Don Parsons.Following a short anecdote from the aforementioned Mr.Cox, President Karl asked for the introduction of all the guests present.The highlight of these intros was the presence of Past President Grant Shel- tus, along with his family.Grant who no longer lives in the Townships, took the opportunity to recall an incident during his tenure as club leader that involved a nefarious prank instigated by the Red Party.After the usual expressions of gratitude by President Karl, Chorister Bill Lyon led the traditional singalong, assisted by Ms.Graham on the piano.First the ladies were asked to sing a particular melody, followed by the men in kind, the two groups alternating henceforth.With some of the less known tunes, both the women and the men attempted to persevere nevertheless.The assembled attendees then took a short break before migrating to the main hall.There they were entertained by British Columbia native Keenan Wilcox on the guitar.Mr.Wilcox performed such notable favourites as the Eagles\u2019 \u2018Tequila Sunrise\u2019, the traditional \u2018Danny Boy\u2019, and Elvis\u2019s \u2018When Fools Rush In\u2019, to the delight of everyone gathered in front of the stage.The performance concluded, President Karl thanked the current Bishop\u2019s student and extended a \u2018safe trip home\u2019 to the audience.Submitted by Steve Moore SSSC Secretary \u2018Talk to family\u2019s doctor before moving kids to vegan diet ASK THE DOCTORS By Eve Glazier, M.D., and Elizabeth Ko, M.D.Dear Doctor: My sister has decided to switch her entire family to a vegan diet, including her 2-year-old twins.But I'm really worried \u2014 is it possible for young children to stay healthy and get all of the nutrients that a growing body requires?Dear Reader: Unlike a vegetarian diet, which cuts out meat, poultry and fish, the vegan approach eliminates all animal-based products.It centers instead on whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables and leafy greens.Some people choose a vegan diet for health reasons, others for ethical ones.But because not all nutrients essential to human health are present in plants, vegans face special challenges to ensure that their diet is well-rounded.A vegan diet for young children has gotten a lot of bad press recently.A mother in Pennsylvania, who fed her infant only nuts and berries in an effort to go vegan, was recently charged with child endangerment.In Italy, where a number of vegan babies wound up in the hospital with malnutrition, some lawmakers want to make a plant-based diet illegal for anyone under 16.BIRTH NOTICES, CARDS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS:

taxes included) WITH PHOTO: $36.00 ($41.40 taxes included) But these are extreme cases.Proponents of plant- based diets say the real culprit is ignorance of proper nutritional principles, not veganism itself.With care and vigilance, and with the guidance of a pediatrician or registered dietitian, a well-balanced vegan diet can provide the nutritional needs of children and adolescents.One of the most important parts of childcare is proper nutrition and feeding.Due to their more intensive nutritional requirements, children and adolescents are more susceptible to malnutrition when following an atypical diet.With a relatively short window in childhood during which critical growth in the brain, body, skeleton and internal organs takes place, it\u2019s all too easy for a child\u2019s diet to adversely affect future growth and development.Vitamin B-12, vitamin D, iron, zinc, calcium and essential fatty acids are key nutrients for proper development in babies and children.Getting an adequate amount of B-12, which is provided by milk and eggs in a traditional diet, and meeting the minimum requirement for iron, which is present in red meat, is of particular concern in the vegan diet.As there are no known plant sources for vitamin B- 12, and without meat to provide essential fatty acids RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES Please Note: All of the aforementioned (except death notices) must be submitted typewritten or neatly printed, and must include the signature and daytime telephone number of the contact person.Can be e-mailed to: clas-

publication.The Record cannot guarantee publication if another Record number is called.Rates: Please call for costs.and other nutrients, providing a nutritional supplement, such as a multivitamin, is essential to normal growth and good health.Another concern is that the plant-based diet is less nutrient-dense and more difficult to digest than the traditional diet.It not only takes more food to meet caloric and nutritional needs in a plant-based diet, it requires a greater amount of energy for the body to extract nutrients.Including concentrated sources of energy such as nuts and nut butters, soy products and legumes will help support appropriate growth.If your sister does her homework, works in partnership with her primary care physician or a dietitian, makes sure the children get the full range of nutrients they need and are hitting their growth milestones, having a healthy vegan family is indeed possible.A final thought \u2014 going vegan is a radical change.Perhaps suggest to your sister that the family do a dry run, for instance Vegan Wednesdays for a month or two?If that works, then they can expand slowly until veganism becomes a family lifestyle.Eve Glazier,

nursing school in the 1980s and have hung out ever since.But for almost a year, she\u2019s been acting odd.We like to go out for Chinese food at least once a month.She often calls at the last minute saying she is sick or did- n\u2019t get to sleep till 4 a.m.or some other excuse.It recently took her over a month to get over a stomach virus.But she was well enough during this time to go to a church retreat two hours away and meet with her sister.She said she stayed in the room a lot.Prior to this trip, she had been in the emergency room with an IV because she had gotten dehydrated.She has a bad hip, and instead of using a walker, she uses two canes.The most recent time we went out, we decided to shop a little.She is germa- phobic and won\u2019t drink out of a water fountain.She tried to go into the employee lounge of the store to get a soft drink.Thank goodness the employees who stopped her were nice, and one got her a drink.She acts so erratically at times that I wonder whether she\u2019s on drugs.If I call her, it may take a week or more before she calls back.She\u2019s been divorced three times.She won\u2019t watch one particular TV show because it reminds her of her second husband.She won\u2019t watch another show because it takes place in the city where she lived with her third husband and it reminds her of that.She doesn\u2019t like a certain country singer because the singer\u2019s name is similar to the name of a woman a boyfriend of hers left her for.I know she\u2019s on meds for depression, but they don\u2019t seem to help.What can I do?She won\u2019t let me in her house, and I know why.I can smell the cat and dog feces from the porch.She was never like Dear Annie this.Please help.\u2014 A Concerned Friend Dear Concerned: You\u2019ve been friends with this woman for about 30 years, so the sudden flakiness is cause for concern about her well-being, especially in light of all the other erratic behaviors you mentioned.She may be suffering from dementia (of which hoarding is a symptom), depression or another condition, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, which also causes hoarding.(Visit https://iocdf.org for more information.) You can\u2019t handle this situation on your own.Enlist the help of her family and/or of professionals.Encourage her to seek and accept help.She is not mentally well right now, and she may not take kindly to your involvement, at least not at first.But it\u2019s the right thing to do, and she\u2019s lucky to have a friend like you.Dear Annie: This is in response to \u201cNancy Across the Way,\u201d who is fed up with how the young mother across the street yells at her kids.I am not advocating yelling, but as a mom of two young boys, I can identify with how difficult it is to be on time in the morning.Additionally, there is much involved behind closed doors, and the mom may live with mental illness in some aspect.I am married to someone who has a mood disorder, and most days are very difficult for our family.Most folks who live with this are isolated and have few friends.My advice to the neighbor is to help this mother reduce her isolation.Offer support instead of judgment.Perhaps Nancy could take her focus off the yelling by baking some cookies and giving this mom a word of support.It would speak volumes and probably make Nancy feel better, too.\u2014 In Peace and Hope Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.New Season of Military Whist Thursday evening, January 12 at St.Anne\u2019s Church, Richmond, was quite an evening.Fog rolled in early and ice was everywhere!

is in the shorter hand By Phillip Alder Danny Thomas said, \u201cTruth is shorter than fiction.\u201d If declarer can ruff a loser in the shorter trump hand, in truth it almost always gains an extra trick.These North-South hands were bid by twins from England, Jason and Justin Hackett.Two clubs was natural and game-forcing.Note three-diamond rebid.Yes, he had only three-card support, but those three honors were more powerful than four low cards would have been.Five no-trump asked South to pick a slam, and Justin did well to choose the 4-3 fit.West led a trump.South took that on the board and ran the heart queen.West won and persevered with a second trump.However, declarer won on the board, played a heart to his ace, ruffed a heart, crossed to the spade ace, drew trumps and claimed.His 12 tricks were newsroom(@sherbrookerecord.com The Record North 01-17-17 à K82 YV QB ¢ AKJ & AK964 West East & J 9 & 107654 VK64 V 10 952 + 85483 + 62 & J1085 &0O3 North\u2019s careful South & AQS3

diamonds, two clubs and the heart ruff.Every other South in a six-team event played in six no-trump, but only two succeeded.Do you see how to bring home six no-trump?This slam is against the odds.Probably most declarers hoped for a 3-3 club split, but the winning line was to lead a heart toward dummy\u2019s queen.If West took the trick, South had 12 winners.Or, if West played low, declarer, after win- CROSSWORD ning with dummy\u2019s queen, could run his pointed-suit winners to squeeze-end- play West.The curious may work it out.A 4-3 fit plays well when the trumps are strong and a ruff can be taken in the shorter trump hand \u2014 as in this deal.Across 1 Baja vacation spot 5 Tree\u2019s sticky output 8 Neck mark from necking 14 Razor name 15 Suffix with pay 16 Taking the
