of the SQ South District, Inspector Charles Renaud, Commander of the SQ for the Estrie Region and Centre-du-Québec, Guy Roy, Director of the Régie de Police Memphrémagog.Record Staff The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) and the Régie de police de Memphrém- agog (RPM) signed a new agreement regarding police presence on Lake Memphrémagog last week.As a part of the agreement, Guy Roy, director of the RPM, and chief inspector Patrick Bélanger of the SQ\u2019s Southern District inaugurated a boat, belonging to the RPM, now identi?ed with the logos of the two police services.This central cabin boat, which is about 6 meters (21 feet) long and powered by a 200 horsepower engine, will be used on a timeshare basis by the nautical patrol units of the RPM and the SQ to ensure an increased police presence on Lake Memphremagog.This will also allow the police to be present on two different bodies of water in the Memphrem- agog MRC at the same time.According to Roy, the partnership agreement with the Sûreté du Québec will allow the two organizations to provide greater protection for both users and residents of Lake Memphremagog.Similarly the pooling of equipment and expertise should be an integral part of the new reality of police organizations, for the bene?t of the population.For his part, Chief Inspector Bélanger made a point of emphasizing that the SQ is proud of the rati?cation of this agreement with the RPM which constitutes a ?rst in Quebec in this model.Lake Memphremagog being a major body of water in Quebec as well as a transborder waterway, it was important to have a common police service to ensure the best sense of security for the population.It should also be noted that the agreement concerning the sharing of this boat will increase the effectiveness of interventions in the event of requests for assistance in matters of nautical rescue on Lake Memphremagog.COURTESY SQ Page 2 Monday, June 29, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Ben by Daniel Shelton The

the Potton and surrounding area for over 30 years now.The recent pandemic has certainly taken its toll on programs like these and so many others offered to a diverse clientele base through the organization.One committee of the CABMN that might not be identi?ed initially for \u201cyouth\u201d related work, the Nutri Sante committee continues to spread its message in the community.The Nutri Sante committee of the CABMN has long offered in school workshops and information sessions on healthy eating for children and their families.The group of enthusiastic volunteers often chooses their workshop recipes based on the health produce available during any given season.Introducing children to various fruits, vegetables and healthy substitutes for recipes and encouraging the students to prepare these tasty treats and home for family and friends is a focus of the group.During the pandemic since they could not see the children nor offer one of their inspirational workshops the group decided to contribute healthy personal favourite recipes to be combined into a small handout cookbook for the children.These booklets were printed on colourful paper and as soon as the school re-opened they were delivered to be distributed as a message to the children that the committee thinks of them often and continues to offer its support in healthy choices to ensure their well-being.A week or two later, bananas were delivered to the school with the message that, \u201cwe are bananas for our youth!\u201d Another message to the students that they are on the minds of all who wish they could return to the old \u201cnormal.\u201d Last week the Nutri-Sante committee met in the park located in the center of Mansonville to receive special aprons made for the committee by the CABMN in recognition of the group\u2019s efforts.In a physical distanced meeting some members of the committee met for a long awaited visit after not seeing one and other for months!! \u201cIt\u2019s hard after all of the seclusion to see these people and not be able to give them a hug knowing we must maintain a distance,\u201d said volunteer committee member, Monique Hebert.Unfortunately two members of the committee were not available for the quick gathering in the park but will receive their aprons soon.The group is hoping to plan another gathering soon just to sit and catch up while maybe getting in an idea or two for future workshops with the children.Other areas of the CABMN are also ?nding ways to let the youth know they are being thought of and missed.This week, Sarah Jersey and Ethan Ball (part of the youth services coordination team at the CABMN youth centre) will be delivering summer themed \u201cthinking of you\u201d kits prepared by Jersey and her daughters (Kendra and Ava).\u201cWe miss the kids from our groups so much,\u201d shared Jersey.\u201cWe want them to know that we are hoping all of our programs will be up and running (while respecting the Government directives) by this fall and we will be there for them,\u201d she added.\u201cThese packages are just a reminder.\u201d For more information about the Nutri Sante or Youth Programs of the CABMN visit

Cine-parc Orford\u2019s new light show and short ?lm festival \u201cVROOM!\u201d said that last Friday\u2019s opening night went even better than he\u2019d imagined.\u201cIt went really well,\u201d said Moment Factory\u2019s Daniel Jean, \u201cWe had more cars than expected.\u201d Planned, designed and assembled in only eight weeks, \u201cVROOM!\u201d combines the whimsy and magic that has become the signature of the Montreal-based multimedia company behind Foresta Lumina with the drive-in movie experience offered by the Orford theatre.Using complex lighting systems, bilingual audio tracks, smoke machines, distinctive décor and a small group of actors, the show ushered roughly 150 vehicles\u2019 worth of viewers through a magical forest path to a showing of several short ?lms by the National Film Board of Canada.\u201cPeople really got into the adventure,\u201d Jean said, noting that although visitors were encouraged to dress themselves and their vehicles up for the evening, he was struck by the number of families that took the opportunity to do so.\u201cIt was a perfect evening.\u201d The drive-in has currently planned for nightly screenings until July 12, and Jean said that after a slow start, publicity around the opening night saw a sig- ni?cant increase in ticket sales for the weeks to come.A $350k investment in local cheese production Record Staff Last week Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri- Food, announced an investment of $353,432 under the Dairy Processing Investment Fund (DPIF) to La Fromagerie Nouvelle France, a local cheese processor in Racine, Québec.The announcement follows a celebration of the business\u2019 ten year anniversary.\u201cI am very grateful to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada for recognizing the potential of our team over the past 10 years,\u201d said Marie-Chantal Houde, cheesemaker and co-owner of Fromagerie Nouvelle France.\u201c The \u201cBuy Local\u201d concept is also part of the commitment of our government to small artisans like us.Sheep milk production represents a signi?cant and growing niche.It is our identity and our artisanal know-how that shines throughout the country.\u201d The new funding will allow Fromagerie Nouvelle France to transfer its processing operations of sheep, goat and cow milk from a rental property into their own facility.The funding will also enable them to purchase and install new cheese and yogurt manufacturing equipment, including a controlled ripening chamber, pasteurization tank, automated manufacturing tank and cheese press.\u201cThe construction of a new cheese factory here in Racine is excellent news for the region,\u201d Bibeau said.\u201cThis means more opportunities for our dairy producers and more of your excellent cheeses for consumers from near and far.I am proud that our government has contributed to this initiative, because it is exactly what we want for our regions.I would like to congratulate the whole Fromagerie Nouvelle France team for 10 years of growth and wish you many more decades of innovation and discoveries.\u201d The project is expected to increase the use of Canadian cow, goat and sheep milk, increase cheese and yogurt production, reduce production costs, while maintaining jobs in the community.La Fromagerie Nouvelle France was founded in 2010.It specializes in the production of ?ne cheeses and yogurts from sheep\u2019s milk and cow\u2019s milk.DPIF was designed to help the sector increase productivity and competitiveness, and help them prepare for market changes resulting from the Canada \u2013 European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).Valued at $100 million, it is designed to help dairy processors modernize their operations, improving productivity and competitiveness.COURTESY Fighting food insecurity one cheese at a time Record Staff Last week Lactalis Canada delivered a full truckload of P\u2019tit Quebec cheese and a donation of $60,000 to Quebec Food Banks.Banques alimentaires du Québec (BAQ) received 8,320 packages of P\u2019tit Québec (2,300 kgs of cheese) which have a market value of $60,000.Lactalis Canada has been working with food banks

Robert Davidson was named Director of this amalgamated service as he was in part the instigator of the move.He continued in this capacity until his death.He lived with his family in a dwelling in Fire Station No.1 on Market Street (Marquette Street since 1904).His annual salary in 1883, was 1 200 $.It was under his leadership, that the use of helmets was introduced in 1884 and about 1897, a system of alarm boxes was set up in the town.Three other ?re stations were also built: one (No.2) in 1884 on London Street where the de l\u2019Ancienne-Caserne Park was created in 2001.The No.3 Station was transformed in 1902 from a previous building near the old Lansdowne Market on King Street West where a branch of the SAQ is now located.And ?nally a third one (No.4 Station) was established in 1911 at the corner of Papineau and King East Streets.From around 1875 to 1881, Chief Davidson was a member and then secretary of the Protestant School Board.He died in Sherbrooke on April 27, 1913 following a holiday to improve his health in his home county of Scotland.He is buried with his wife and his parents in Elmwood Cemetery.He had served as a ?re?ghter for 45 years, 34 of them as Police and Fire Chief.Alfred Boudreau took over from him for a few months before Joseph-Eusèbe Hébert became Chief of the Fire Department.Photo of Fire Station No.1 (1877-1925) at that time situated in the parking

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, June 29, 2020 Page 5 Danville drug lab dismantled Record Staff The Drummondville Organized Crime Investigation and Coordination Team (DOCT) is currently in the process of dismantling a methamphetamine production laboratory located in Danville.This operation follows four arrests made on June 26 in Montreal, Ter- rebonne and Danville.The dismantling of the synthetic drug production laboratory is one of six locations searched by police of?cers as part of this investigation, which began in the fall of 2019.The arrested suspects appeared by telephone Friday and remain in custody.They are expected to appear Monday at the Drummonville courthouse to face various drug charges.This operation included some 50 police of?cers from the Organized Crime Investigation and Coordination Division, the Regional Mixed Forces Squads, the Major Crime Investigation Division, the MRC Investigation Division, the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal, the Service de police de Terrebonne, the MRC des Sources and Pierre-De Saurel of the Sûreté du Québec.Upon entering the site, the of?cers found that the laboratory was operational.On-site specialists were still working Sunday to dismantle the facilities with special safety measures required by a lab of this type.The dismantling operation could take several days.To date, of?cers have seized over $90,000 in Canadian currency, several ?rearms, several kilograms of meth- amphetamines and one kilogram of cocaine.A more complete review will follow in the coming days, as the operation is still ongoing.The Sûreté du Québec would like to remind the population that any information related to drug traf?cking or production can be communicated at any time, in a con?dential manner, to the Sûreté du Québec\u2019s Central Criminal Information Unit at 1 800 659-4264.Sprinklers and outdoor ?res now permitted in Magog Record Staff The City of Magog is informing the population that it is putting an end to the ban on the outdoor use of drinking water decreed on June 23.Fireworks and outdoor ?res made in a screened receptacle are also permitted again.The cooler weather combined with recent precipitation has reduced the pressure on the municipal water system caused by increased use of drinking water and the risk of ?re because of drought is now lower.However, the Town would like to remind the public that municipal bylaws still apply to sprinklers and backyard ?res and pointed out that the population should restrict their consumption of drinking water during prolonged periods of heat and drought.Water bylaws The use of drinking water for watering is permitted from May 1 to September 1, from 8 p.m.to midnight on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.Exceptionally, an owner who is

work.Complete ?lling of pools is permitted every day between midnight and 6 a.m.For more details, consult the City of Magog\u2019s website.Bylaws on outdoor ?res and ?re- works Exterior ?res are permitted only when the SOPFEU index is between low and moderate levels and when winds are less than 20 km/h.To ?nd out the ?re index, visit the SOPFEU website at www.sopfeu.qc.ca.In addition, certain regulations apply: All exterior ?res must be set in a screened appliance equipped with a spark arrester, installed 3 metres from a lot line and 6 metres from a building and its annexes.Natural, unpainted and untreated wood is the only fuel permitted.It is prohibited to burn brush, leaves and other plant matter.The ?re must be monitored at all times and water or a way to put out the ?re must be available nearby.The use of ?reworks requires a permit from the ?re department.For more details on the regulations concerning outdoor ?res and regulatory devices, consult the explanatory sheet on the City of Magog\u2019s website.Bridge work coming up in Richmond Record Staff Richmond\u2019s MacKenzie Bridge will be closed in both directions for maintenance work during the daytime next

Though, like fruit, it almost always ends up in some dessert, with a generous helping of sugar, rhubarb is botanically speaking, a vegetable, in the family of buckwheat, which is not actually a grain, but a plant whose seeds can be turned into ?our.Rhubarb, like the lowly cabbage, is an import, although with a much more exotic history.It arrived in Canada in the 1700s, with whom and when exactly is not known, although George Washington apparently had planted a patch in 1788, cultivated, no doubt, by his slaves.The initial popularity of rhubarb is due to man\u2019s undying quest for regularity.Rhubarb\u2019s medicinal powers, especially its capacity to relieve constipation without causing painful cramps, made the plant a highly prized commodity.It even sparked a Holy Grail-like search for the source of the \u201cTrue Rhubarb,\u201d the one whose powder had the most effective and gentle impact in purging the pipes, as it were.In the style of the mountain-top quest for universal truth, the \u201cTrue Rhubarb\u201d was traced to the Himalayas.Since then, rhubarb has been less sought out for its laxative effect than as a healthy and incredibly versatile vegetable (!) to be turned into an in?nite number of delicious desserts, and, we might add, a mixed drink - the rhubarb sour, which, of course, rhubarb is.In its simplest form, it\u2019s a very Canadian snack.I recall as a kid, my mother chopping a stalk from the patch behind the garage, and me sticking the end into a bowl of sugar for that unique, puckering taste of sweet and sour.Rhubarb as Canada\u2019s national vegetable?Don\u2019t want to provoke a rhubarb, but such an idea would not make us the laughing stalk of the vegetable world.Peter Black The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Monday, June

possible since June 12, and the Mansonville resident said that she\u2019s received assurances that the local crossing would allow for it in her case despite the fact that she and Higgins aren\u2019t married.With each working on their respective side of the border, however, she argued that the reality of the situation doesn\u2019t actually make it possible.\u201cWho has four consecutive weeks of vacation time?\u201d she asked, pointing out that a two-week quarantine on either side of the 4.1 km gap stretches out even the shortest face-to-face meeting to a completely unreasonable span of time.Pouliot said that she and her boyfriend have been writing to of?cials across a range of levels on both sides of the border to very little effect.\u201cWe feel ignored,\u201d she said, explaining that the only response she received from the of?ce of Brome-Missisquoi MP Lyne Bessette called their problem \u201cisolated\u201d and said that it was not an issue that would be addressed.Pouliot said that although people facing this kind of separation are likely concentrated in border communities, she does not believe that she and Higgins alone in their separation.She made reference to people being turned away by border patrol for trying to talk to each other \u201cover the line,\u201d and mentioned a few other long-term relationships in the area that have been cut off from each other by the border closure.Worse than the stress of the current separation combined with an increased workload at their respective jobs (she at the local pharmacy, him a mechanic for a waste management company), is the fact that there is no sense of when the border will reopen.With the closure having already been extended three times since the original announcement in March, the Manson- ville resident said that she fully expects it to be extended through the summer.\u201cAnd I will eat my socks if they don\u2019t extend it again in September,\u201d she added, expressing concern that the decision has become more one of political posturing than public health.\u201cWe\u2019re a couple.We love each other.We need a connection,\u201d Pouliot said.Although the couple has made an effort to stay in touch via videoconference and telephone, the internet services in Mansonville and North Troy are quite poor, adding insult to injury.\u201c(Normally) I can drive there faster than I can to Owl\u2019s Head,\u201d she said, comparing the separation to not being able to drive around the block.Protesters denounce changes to Quebec experience program, call on government to act By Roxanne Ocampo THE CANADIAN PRESS Demonstrators denounced proposed changes to a Quebec immigration program that fast- tracks foreign students and workers, describing the reforms during several protests Saturday as a dehumanizing vision of immigration policy.The changes to the Quebec experience program are expected to come into effect soon and demonstrators holding signs that read \u201cA promise is a promise\u2019\u2019 and \u201cQuebec is us too\u2019\u2019 called on the province\u2019s new Immigration Minister Nadine Girault to act.The experience program permits foreign students and workers already established in the province to quickly obtain a Quebec selection certi?cate to gain permanent residency.A new version of the program was introduced in May, following an ill-fat- ed attempt to reform it last November that forced the provincial government to backtrack and apologize.The new rules require international students to acquire two years of full- time work experience, in addition to obtaining their diploma.For foreign workers, this requirement is increased from one to three years and less skilled workers don\u2019t qualify.That was heartbreaking for news for Carla Trigoso, a McGill University sociology student from Peru whose family went into debt to pay the $80,000 needed to complete her bachelor\u2019s degree.After four years of living in Quebec and her degree no longer enough, Trigoso now fears that her chances of ?nding work in the midst of a COVID-19 pandemic will be slim, not to mention that many jobs require permanent residence.\u201cWe\u2019re not just ?le numbers and permits,\u2019\u2019 she said, calling on Girault to show compassion.Quebec Liberal Kathleen Weil believes the program she presented as immigration minister under a previous Liberal government, was \u201cthe envy of many jurisdictions.\u2019\u2019 \u201cWe had created this rapid immigration route because we wanted to retain these talents,\u2019\u2019 she said, alongside several Liberal colleagues.\u201cWe are competing with the world to attract them.\u2019\u2019 Weil said she\u2019s torn up inside about changes being made.\u201cIt is not a reform, reform is a progressive concept,\u2019\u2019 Weil said.\u201cWe are regressing with this reform, we are not looking at human beings with all their potential.\u2019\u2019 Quebec solidaire co-spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois described the changes as a \u201csolution to a problem that does not exist\u2019\u2019 and simply a way for the Legault government to ful?l its electoral promise to reduce immigration.\u201cIt is the program that makes it easier to successfully integrate, in particular because it allows people who are already in Quebec to stay there,\u2019\u2019 Na- deau-Dubois said.\u201cBut from the moment the CAQ begins to obsess over this number, they are forced to close as many doors as possible.\u2019\u2019 Quebec solidare denounced in particular the exclusion of less quali?ed workers _ often in essential services that were key jobs in recent months as things shut down during the pandemic.\u201cThe truckers brought the goods that fed Quebec during the pandemic, but with the new reform, these people will never be able to aspire to stay in the country permanently,\u2019\u2019 said Andres Fontecilla, the left-leaning party\u2019s immigration critic.This was the case of Donalee Martinez, a trucker of Filipino origin who has travelled long distances for more than two years in the hope of being able to bene?t from the program.\u201cGood enough to work, good enough to stay,\u2019\u2019 he told a downtown Montreal gathering.Similar demonstrations were held in Sherbrooke, Quebec City and Rouyn-Noranda _ an initiative of labour unions, student associations and migrants\u2019 rights groups.Last November, the Legault government was forced to backtrack after a reform proposed by former immigration minister Simon Jolin-Barrette would have seen hundreds of temporary workers and foreign students sent back to their countries due to a retroactive tightening of the program rules.They were also to include speci?c university and technical junior college programs in industries the government said were facing labour shortages.The government has since dropped that limited list.Girault, who is also international relations minister, added the immigration portfolio on Monday following a surprise cabinet shuf?e.An of?cial in her of?ce said it will take her some time to get up to speed on the reforms, expected to take effect imminently.

get more game time.\u201d Diop gears up for MLS is Back Tournament By Michael Boriero - Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Montreal Impact goalkeeper Clément Diop is primed to play a crucial role for his squad at the upcoming Major League Soccer (MLS) is Back Tournament held in the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida, from July 8 to August 11.The 26-year-old Parisian-born footballer made only two league appearances last season with the Impact.However, he did play in four Canadian Championship matches, and he was starting to gain trust from management.\u201cI think I changed a lot as a person and as a footballer, I think I\u2019m much more professional than I was in the past when I was in L.A.,\u201d Diop said during a video conference Friday.\u201cI\u2019m working way harder and I\u2019m trying to be much more focused than I used to be.\u201d It hasn\u2019t been an easy road for the Senegalese international, playing his ?rst two seasons in the MLS with the L.A.Galaxy.He made 15 appearances in 2017, but the Galaxy were undergoing a tumultuous period.L.A.?nished dead last that season with an 8-18-8 record and the second most goals against with 67.Diop was picked up by Montreal at the MLS Waiver Draft in the following season.They re-signed him at the end of the 2018 season.Diop admits that he was never a very patient person throughout his career, but it\u2019s something that he picked up with age.Spending his ?rst season with the Impact on the bench was a dif?cult pill to swallow, but it taught him a lot, he explained.It\u2019s a situation he doesn\u2019t want to relive again anytime soon.He hopes that with his continued work ethic he can acquire more con?dence from the coaching staff and more starts at the MLS tournament.\u201cWhen I came in in preseason I knew I had the chance to take the spot, and I went for it,\u201d Diop said.\u201cI stayed focused and now I\u2019m going to stay focused to get more game time.\u201d When asked about legendary head coach Thierry Henry, who is also born and raised in Paris, the 26-year-old had nothing but positive feedback.According to Diop, he is teaching the team how to attack and play with the ball.\u201cEverybody knows what they have to do,\u201d he said.\u201cWe work hard and you can only learn from a legend like him because everybody knows who he is, and everybody knows what he has done and what he has won.\u201d Memphremagog MRC publishes a new bike map Record Staff The Memphremagog MRC has announced the publication of the 2020-2021 edition of the cycling network map of the territory.This project was carried out in collaboration with Tourisme Memphremagog.For the new edition, the circuits have been revised to offer cyclists even safer routes that minimize exposure to motorized traf?c.According to Jacques Demers, MRC Prefect and Mayor of the Municipality of Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley, given the current situation, the population will want to turn to activities to do close to home and cycling will certainly be favoured by many.\u201cWe hope that this map will allow cycling enthusiasts, citizens and visitors alike, to discover the cycling network in the Memphrém- agog region,\u201d Demers said in a press release.\u201cThe map now proposes six road circuits, with different levels of dif?culty, to provide challenges for all types of cyclists,\u201d added Demers.The six circuits total nearly 320 km and will certainly make the happiness of the amateurs: - Along the water (60 km - Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Township of Stanstead, Ogden, Stanstead, Stanstead East) - Entre deux rives (46 km) - Tour of Lake Massawippi (66 km) (Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Hatley, North Hatley, Sainte-Cather- ine-de-Hatley) - Magog-Orford (33 km) - Tour des Bolton (31 km - Saint-Éti- enne-de-Bolton, West Bolton, Centre Bolton) - The Pilgrim\u2019s Route (52 km - Man- sonville, Saint-Benoît-du-Lac, Austin, Bolton-Centre) - Tour du Lac d\u2019Argent (5.5 km) - Tour du Lac Stukely (25 km) (Eastman) The bicycle map also shows the 80 km of bicycle paths in the territory, spread over three networks.Each of these trails offers landscapes and natural environments to discover: - La Montagnarde (Magog, Orford, Parc national du Mont Orford, Eastman, Stukely-Sud) - Tomifobia Nature Trail (Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Stanstead East, Ogden, Stanstead) - The Grandes-Fourches Bikeway (Massawippi and Summit routes) (Hat- ley Township, North Hatley) Cycling is a ?agship sport for the Memphremagog region, explained Noémie Poirier, general manager of Tourisme Memphrémagog, \u201cboth for tourists and local residents,\u201d she said.\u201cCycling is growing in popularity and we are proud to offer new quality circuits that will allow us to stand out and be appreciated by everyone.Niche sports are also becoming popular, such as mountain biking and gravel road tours, which we are very pleased to ?nd on our territory,\u201d Poirier added.The bike map is available at municipal of?ces, bike shops, campgrounds and lodging in the region, as well as in the displays of certain businesses.It is also available at the Memphremagog tourist information of?ce (2911 Mil- letta Road, Magog (A-10, exit 115)) and at tourist information of?ces.It can also be ordered free of charge on the Tourisme Memphremagog website at https://tourisme- memphremagog.com/ contact/.It is

M.D.Dear Doctor: Would you please consider doing a recap about the coronavirus - especially about how it spreads?There\u2019s a lot of information ?oating around, and it\u2019s getting hard to sort through the noise.Dear Reader: It\u2019s true that we\u2019ve been deluged in recent months with coronavirus coverage.Whether in print, on TV, on the radio or online, the information ranges from accurate to speculative to deliberately false.All of this adds up not only to potential confusion, but also to mental fatigue.You\u2019re not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the topic.And to be honest, just running through the facts as we know them thus far will be helpful to us, as well.Let\u2019s start at the beginning.The novel coronavirus goes by the name SARS-CoV-2, which stands for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.It\u2019s referred to as \u201cnovel\u201d because it has never been seen in humans before.This means we have no acquired resistance or immunity to this particular virus.The disease that SARS-CoV-2 causes is known as COVID-19.COVID stands for \u201ccoronavirus disease,\u201d and the number 19 refers to the year that it ?rst appeared, which is 2019.In fact, the ?rst public information about the disease was released on Dec.31, 2019, the last day of that year.A growing body of evidence suggests the virus most commonly spreads via the tiny respiratory droplets we emit whenever we speak, cough, sneeze and breathe.These droplets can be inhaled, or may be transferred to the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth and eyes via touch.That\u2019s why washing your hands and not touching your face are both so important.This is also why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends that people in public places wear facial coverings, which constrain the movement of the respiratory droplets we all release.Since not everyone infected with SARS- CoV-2 develops physical symptoms, it is possible for these individuals to unknowingly transmit the virus.Again, that\u2019s why facial coverings for everyone are so important - you\u2019re protecting the people around you.The typical range of expelled respiratory droplets is less than 6 feet, which has led to the buffer zone we are now all asked to observe.Symptoms of COVID-19 appear about two weeks after infection.They include fever, dry cough, tiredness and shortness of breath.Also common is a sudden loss of the sense of taste and smell.Patients also report headache, muscle aches, chills and chest pain.Although older adults and anyone with a serious underlying medical condition appear to be at higher risk of serious COVID-19 complications, it\u2019s possible for anyone of any age to become ill.And the disease appears to have a broader scope than the pneumonia it\u2019s best known to cause.A rare in?ammatory condition is now being seen children.And in a number of adults, a range of adverse reactions brought on by sudden and unexpected blood clot formation have been reported.Unfortunately, there is no cure for COVID-19 at this time.Anyone with symptoms should seek immediate medical care.Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.The doctors recap what we know about coronavirus Page 12 Monday, June 29, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Dear Annie MONDAY JUNE 29, 2020 Dear Annie: I\u2019m heartbroken over an event that took place 52 years ago.I dated a girl in high school for several years and was truly in love.After I graduated from high school in 1967, I asked her to marry me.She took my hand and said that she couldn\u2019t because she was pregnant from her former boyfriend.I was shocked, hurt and destroyed from within.Naturally, we broke up, and we both moved on with our lives.It bothered me more because of the fact that he was an addict and I believe he got her hooked on drugs, and she died at the age of 49.I worked at the local hospital for many years.One day, upon my return from vacation, I was told that a woman in the ICU had been asking for me.Now, this was 32 years after our breakup.She remembered me and followed my career in medicine to know I worked there.She died a few days before I returned from vacation.I found her grave today.It was a sad day.Why does this bother me so much?The cemetery had her obituary.In it, I found enough information about her life after me, including information on her two daughters.Should I contact them and get ?lled in on her life?- Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: I am so sorry for your loss.It\u2019s understandable that you are still upset about her death.While time is known to heal wounds, it does not mean we forget about people who were important to us growing up.Just because you both went on to love other people does not mean you didn\u2019t stop caring about each other as friends.The fact that she looked you up all those years later and knew where you worked shows that.I can imagine being a drug addict and being married to one is a very lonely life.She probably remembered you from before her life was ?lled with addiction and wanted to say goodbye.Although it is so sad you weren\u2019t able to, you could connect to her through her daughters.There is nothing wrong with reaching out to them, sharing memories of how great their mother was and learning about her life.The main point to stress is this is not about romantic love but rather how you care deeply about her as a friend.The man she married is probably their father, so I would not tell them your opinion of him.Dear Annie: I was raised by a very strict mother.I am now a middle-aged man.Several years ago, out of the blue, my mother asked me if she had been too strict when I was young.I told her I thought she was.Do you think this was her way of apologizing or something else?- Strict Mother\u2019s Son Dear Strict Mother\u2019s Son: It very well could be an apology.If that is something you are looking for, why not ask her?You are very sparse with your words in discussing this issue.It would be helpful to be aware of this and to try to relax before talking to her.Also make a list of all the things she did right and that you love about her.The more you tell her these things, the more it will facilitate the conversation.Dear Readers: Fathers Day was celebrated recently, a day to thank your dad for everything he has done and for what he means to you.In this poem, William Wordsworth celebrates being able to see the world through his son\u2019s eyes.He celebrates the childlike wonder that his son has, a playful curiosity that is too often lost in adulthood.Being a great father includes being empathetic to your child and seeing things from their perspective to meet them where they are.There is nothing more powerful than when a dad gets down on his knees to meet his young son or daughter on eye level.It is through this type of understanding and compassion that a child will develop healthy self-esteem and know that they can do and be anything in this world.The greatest gift a dad can give a child is to believe in them.\u201cAnecdote for Fathers\u201d I have a boy of ?ve years old; His face is fair and fresh to see; His limbs are cast in beauty\u2019s mould, And dearly he loves me.One morn we strolled on our dry walk, Our quiet home all full in view, And held such intermitted talk As we are wont to do.My thoughts on former pleasures ran; I thought of Kilve\u2019s delightful shore, Our pleasant home when spring began, A long, long year before.A day it was when I could bear Some fond regrets to entertain; With so much happiness to spare, I could not feel a pain.The green earth echoed to the feet Of lambs that bounded through the glade, From shade to sunshine, and as ?eet From sunshine back to shade.Birds warbled round me - and each trace of inward sadness had its charm; Kilve, thought I, was a favored place, And so is Liswyn farm.My boy beside me tripped, so slim And graceful in his rustic dress! And, as we talked, I questioned him, In very idleness.\u201cAsk Me Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie\u201d is out now!
