Sûreté du Québec carried out a series of raids, arrests and searches in Greater Montreal, Montérégie and Ontario aimed at dismantling a criminal organization leading a complex fraud scheme in the metal recycling industry.Fighteen individuals between the ages of 35 and 60 were arrested or interviewed and some will have to appear at a later date in the Montreal courthouse to face criminal charges.In addition to the arrests, the police conducted 11 searches in Quebec and Ontario and seized more than $300,000 Canadian; several documents, and computer equipment, which will be analyzed and 13 firearms.The operation stems from an investigation initiated in May 2015, targeting a criminal organization which, with the help of accomplices, orchestrated a complex fraud scheme over a period of 19 Le Thursday the Crimes against the months, in which intermediary firms skimmed nearly $17 million in cash.This fraud allowed organized corporations to get their hands on large amounts of cash to purchase metals in exchange for invoices of convenience from the criminal organization.The use of these shell companies controlled by the organization makes it possible to evade taxes on these transactions and to reduce the taxable income of intermediate or accommodated companies.The amount equal to the taxes thus evaded is retained as profit by the organization.In order to facilitate their criminal activity, the fraudsters resorted to nominees and businesses in Ontario, which in turn complicates the audits of tax authorities.More than 130 police officers from the Sûreté du Québec, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Montreal Police, Gatineau police, the Thérese-de- Blainville and Richelieu-Saint-Laurent police intermunicipal police forces participated in the operation.Bleeding

once you get there the pressure to perform can be enormous.Pay disparity is ice ceiling for women's hockey PETER BLACK HL play-offs are around the cor- NE and it's an exciting and nerve- wracking time for fans whose teams have not yet locked up a date for the dance.It's also an exciting time for players, particularly rookies, as they close in on performance bonuses that kick in as they hit certain targets.For example, let's pick a random player from the Toronto Maple Leafs class of 2016-17.Nineteen-year-old Auston Matthews stands to make $2 million on top of his $925,000 entry level contract if he stays in the league\u2019s top 10 point- getters at the end of the season.That would be in addition to the half million in bonuses he has already made for scoring 20 goals and being named to an NHL all-star team.We don\u2019t bring up these numbers to begrudge the success of a young superstar or other exceptional players.The opposite, in fact.Making it to the NHL is a very, very long shot, as it is in all professional sports.A frequently referenced study of the Ontario hockey hotbed found that only 0.02 percent of young players will go on to have a \u201ccareer\u201d in the NHL, defined as the 400-game minimum to quality for the player pension plan.It\u2019s a long, hard and expensive road to the big league, and once you get there the pressure to perform can be enormous.But still, the rewards are there and they are undeniably substantial.If a player invests wisely, he could very well be set for life.Then there are the women.With the possible exception of tennis where salary parity is an on-going debate and there actually are tournaments where women make the same as men, it\u2019s a fact female athletes play for peanuts, sometimes not even.Players in the five-team Canadian Women\u2019s Hockey League, for example, officially play for free.Teams cover travel and accommodation costs, medical care and some equipment needs and provide a per diem on the road, but there is no salary as such.They do share in cash bonuses, however, such as the prize money the Canadiennes de Montreal won recently for their triumph in the annual Clarkson Cup competition.For many \u201cprofessional\u201d women players, a job outside the rink is essential.Anne-Sophie Bettez, for example, one of the stars of the Canadiennes, is a McGill University graduate who works as a financial advisor.The CWHL says it has a plan to pay players in the near future.League commissioner Brenda Andress said in an interview after the Clarkson Cup said: \u201cDo we want to pay them?Of course, that\u2019s the dream.When we do pay them, it\u2019ll be because everything will be in place.\u201d There\u2019s a partnership in the works between the CWHL and the NHL which should bring much-needed marketing and promotion.After all, success and growth starts with building a fan base.Meanwhile, in the United States, women players in the national program are currently in a stand-off with USA Hockey, demanding better compensation for their efforts in non-Olympic periods.If the dispute is not resolved the players say they will boycott the world championship tournament at the end of the month.Team Canada officials say development players get $900 a month and se- nior-level players $1,500 a month outside Olympic years.During the nine months around the Olympics they are \u201cfully supported.\u201d There are about 100,000 female hockey players in Canada, an ever-grow- ing number.One of them, a 20-year-old member of the armed forces, sometimes plays goal with our beer league gang which has some very skilled players and powerful shooters (and then there\u2019s me).We\u2019re convinced she\u2019s good enough to play at the national level in Canada.Her team recently won the Canadian Forces women's national championship and she was chosen the MVP in the ultimate game.While she still dreams of playing beyond her current level - she plays on two women\u2019s and two men\u2019s teams - the opportunity, let alone the financial incentive, is not there - yet.Hockey's \"ice ceiling\" may remain impenetrable for quite some time.Come out; come out, wherever you

may find ourselves missing something that we can\u2019t quite put our finger on?We sense a longing to feel something.anything besides sadness and loss.The actual funeral long over, we carry a funeral inside our being and it goes on, day after day it seems.Until one Something becomes funny again and we laugh.For my husband it was a game of hide and go seek with a group of kids and for me, it was a bunch of two year olds jumping on my couch at work.They laughed falling back onto the sofa cushions shouting my name.My inner child heard them even before I did.I laughed thinking about my Mom and how much she would have enjoyed their laughter and the sound of my own.These two spontaneously different things reminded my husband and me that it was okay to still find happiness in the world despite the loss we had been holding onto for weeks.Or the loss that had been holding onto us that found us too tired and sad to try to break free from its grasp.After grief there is laughter.After loss there is life.After tears there are smiles.And while loss still dances its mournful macabre amidst the moments of joy, it no longer steals the show.In the laughter of my husband, I can hear his father laughing and I trace the smile of my Mom as I touch my own lips as I laugh too.Teacher, theologian, counsellor, philosopher, John Bradshaw wrote a wonderful book called, \u201cHomecoming,\u201d reclaiming and healing your inner child.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is doing some self reflection and soul searching.\u201cWe first see the world through the eyes of a little child and that inner child remains with us throughout our lives, no matter how outwardly grown-up and powerful we become.If our vulnerable child was hurt, abandoned, shamed, or neglected, that child\u2019s pain, grief, and anger live on within us.I believe that this neglected, wounded inner child of the past is the major source of human misery,\" says Bradshaw.He goes on to explain that, \"The healed inner child becomes a source of vitality and creativity, enabling us to find new joy and energy in living.\" As our family continues through this painful loss, I realize that I am learning a lot.I realize too that in the loss of my Mom and then a year later, the recent loss of my father-in-law, no one is spared the experience of grief and grieving.I share these reflections merely as a reminder to others that, you are not alone.Self awareness and reflection are vital aspects I believe, to healing.As my inner child peaks at me from her hiding place under the table I think to myself, \u201cReady or not, here I come!\u201d In that moment I know that, we are going to be okay.rinted and distributed by PressRea P der press [feleld PressReader.com + +1 604 278 4604 COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY

COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW The Record newsroom(@sherbrookerecord.com MONDAY, MARCH 20, 2017 Page 9 MONDAY, MARCH 20, 2017 Dear Annie: Our 4-year-old will be in pre-kinder- garten in the fall.His elementary school offers a Spanish immersion program, and we can\u2019t decide whether to enroll him in it.The program was one of the things that influenced our decision to buy a house in this area.But now that decision time is here, we're having second thoughts.His school day would be 80 percent taught in Spanish.In the class, there would be 10 kids who speak Spanish at home and 10 kids who, like my son, don\u2019t speak any Spanish.My wife and I value the ability to speak a second language, and starting this early, our son might be able to speak as well as a native speaker.But it would be a huge commitment.The school expects people who commit in pre-kindergarten to stay in the program through fifth grade, and it\u2019s now or never; he could- n\u2019t start in the future.That is scary for us.We don\u2019t really know our son\u2019s learning style or whether this would be a good fit for him.And he\u2019d be with the same 19 kids for seven years.What if he were not to get along Habla Espanol?Dear Annie with them?\u2014 Una Pregunta Dear Pregunta: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will beget a lifetime of further opportunities.Being bilingual is a bigger asset than ever in today\u2019s globalized society (and increasingly competitive job market).Learning a foreign language has been shown to build multitasking skills, improve memory, make students more perceptive, hone decision-making skills and do so much more.I think you\u2019d regret not trying this program out much more than you\u2019d ever regret trying it.See whether you can talk to some of the parents of the third-, fourth- and fifth-graders who are in the program.Get a sense of the workloads and how children like the tightknit learning environment.Ask parents what they wish they had known when going into it.Whatever you decide, it\u2019s clear that you and your wife care deeply about your son\u2019s education, so I have no doubt he\u2019ll turn out just fine.Dear Annie: A fellow churchgoer doesn\u2019t like to drive, so she always asks others to pick her up for church, take her to visit her father in the nursing home, shuttle her to the grocery, etc., etc.She lives 30 minutes out of the way for most of us, and she has a car and a license.She never offers to pay for gas, leaving some of us feeling taken advantage of.Should we just put our frustration aside and try to show some Christian love, or can we help her understand that others don\u2019t want to be taken advantage of?\u2014 Feeling Used Dear Feeling Used: Just because she has a license doesn\u2019t mean she should be driving, and if she feels uncomfortable or unsafe driving, then good for her for making the very smart decision to get help.However, that help needn\u2019t be from friends or congregation members every single time.Many community-based transportation services exist for seniors.An excellent database is available from AAA at http://seniordriv- ing.aaa.com/local-transportation-programs.The most generous thing would be to help her help herself by getting her plugged in to some resources.Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearan-

The concern voiced by your family friend, that drinking carbonated water weakens bones, quite possibly finds its roots in a study conducted in 2006.Known as the Framingham Osteoporosis Study, researchers tied the consumption of cola beverages to decreased density in the hip bones of older women.But the operative word here turns out to be \u201ccola.\u201d Women in the study who drank non-cola beverages did not exhibit increased bone loss.The researchers concluded that carbonation doesn\u2019t damage your bones.As to the question of carbonation being bad for your teeth, we need to talk about the carbonic acid we mentioned earlier.While it\u2019s true that the process of carbonation results in the creation of an acid, it\u2019s a very weak one.Plain bottled water has a neutral pH of 7.Carbonated water such as Perrier is only slightly more acidic, with a pH of 5.25.According to the American Dental Association (ADA), that\u2019s \u201cminimally corrosive.\u201d Cranberry juice, by contrast, with a pH of 2.5, is considered by the ADA to be \u201cextremely corrosive.\u201d So the good news is that you and your family are on the right track with fizzy waters replacing sodas and other sweet drinks.Just be sure to always read the labels.If you see the words sucrose, glucose, fructose or corn syrup, you're holding a sugary drink.And here\u2019s a bonus for weight watchers from a National Institutes of Health study: Young women who drank a glass of fizzy water reported feeling full and satiated.Lastly, for those of you with kids who may have heard this urban legend \u2014 eating the carbonated candy Pop Rocks and then drinking a soda will definitely not make your stomach explode!
