This happy dude is my nephew, Cody. He has CP and spends a lot of time in a wheel chair. He is very fortunate because he can talk, and use his hands pretty well to play computer games( the Champ). On Saturday we went to the Hot Docs screening of Ice Breaker ( Excellent), at the Isabelle Bader theatre. They had a podium in the Balcony for wheel chairs, and Cody had a prime seat.
After the theatre we went to Roco's Plum Tomato, for pizza. The pizza was delicious and the service was great, but Cody had to go to the washroom.Cody thought our waiter was pretty funny, and he was laughing a lot, thus the need to go to the bathroom.
The washroom was in the basement, and was not wheel chair accessible. Cody had to be carried down a rather steep set of stairs. Cody is not really heavy so we managed , but it points out that not all restaurants in Toronto are friendly to the physically challenged. So if your out on the town and this is a consideration, call ahead and ask about accessibility.

Its spring in Glencoe. Last Sunday it was 27 deg. C. Today it is 0 deg.C and we have 5 cm(2 inches) of fresh, wet snow. Sorry no pictures because Meredith has our camera.Today is our grandson, Jacob's first birthday so mom and dad held a birthday party for him. He ate his first piece of cake, by himself, with his hands. Of course as much of it ended up outside as inside.
We have been in Oshawa and Toronto for the past 2 days to attend the screening of 2 documentary films, sponsored by Brett, in the Hot Docs Film Festival, of which he is the Art Director. Its on all this week so if your are in Toronto try to catch a screening or 2.
Even though Oshawa and Toronto are a little north of Glencoe, there was no snow in their area.
For anyone not familiar with our weather patterns, we don't normally expect to have snow this late in April. Hopefully it will all disappear tomorrow.
On Saturday the Glencoe District Lions Club held our annual "White Elephant Sale". We collect up all the items that people want to get rid off and feel are not yet ready for the landfill site. We fill the skating arena every year, and people always wonder where all the treasures come from.
Unfortunately I was unable to attend, for the first time in a number of years. My apologies to my fellow Lions, as this event is work intensive. We usually raise $7000.00+ from this event so it is a good fund raiser for our club. Most of the money finds its way back into the community through our donations. So I hope we had a good sale this year. Bad weather usually= good attendance.

Apr. 22, 2005. 06:47 AMU.S. terror rules hit Canadian flightsAirline passenger lists demanded Ottawa fights disruptive, costly measure
TIM HARPERWASHINGTON BUREAUWASHINGTON—Ottawa is pushing back against a Bush administration demand that could disrupt more than 1,000 Canadian domestic flights a week that pass through U.S. airspace.
Washington is insisting it must receive a list of all passengers on aircraft flying over American territory, so names can be checked against the oft-criticized U.S. "no-fly" list.
It has threatened to bar from U.S. airspace airlines that do not comply, resulting in longer, bumpier and costlier Canadian flights.
WORLD PAIN FOR NO GAIN!! How many International Treaties does this move break? Migratory birds lookout!!
HELP!! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK FROM WASHINGTON, D.C .

In the previous post I identified some of the images that Americans have of Canada and Canadians, gleaned from a number of sites that deal with American attitudes to Canada.It is interesting that truth is less palatable than fiction on occasion. Many Americans, especially of the far-right variety, insist on repeating the fiction that the 9/11 terrorists entered the United States from Canada, when in fact they did not. They entered the US legally, through American ports of entry such as new York City. They were in possession of valid visas issued by the good old U.S.ofA. They received flight training, such as it was, in places like Florida, from U.S. trainers. Imagine that.
One wonders why the U.S. far-right, and their pet media outlets, such as Fox News and CNN continue to promote this falsehood, and only admit it is not true when cornered by some of their own news releases. What is to be gained from this?
Those who label Canada a communist country, a la Cuba, China or North Korea, are either displaying their ignorance of political and economic theory, or are simply trying to use it as a slur against Canada, to support whatever other biases that they want to promote.
I have visited Cuba 2x in the last few years and have noted less poverty and disenfranchisement of people that I have seen in visits to New York City, Chicago, Detroit and Miami. All children go to school, and no one dies because they are so poor they can't pay for treatment.
While Cuba's record on human rights is not great, the United States operates an interesting facility at Guantanomo Bay, that is not exactly for the promotion of international human rights.
Excuse me for wondering if the word "communism" has become a meaningless epithet that Americans throw out every time they want to condem some one who has a different point of view.
It boggles the mind trying to figure out how the U.S. tax payers are construed as paying for
Canada's defense. Are we to believe that our neighbour to the south has troops on guard 24/7 to just protect Canada from our enemies, who are just waiting for the US to let its guard down so they can invade Canada?
Are we to believe that in the event that missiles are fired at the US on a trajectory that would take them over Canada, the shooting down nuclear missiles would not take place over Canada if we joined missile defense?
I think what many mean, but don't have the gall to admit it, is that Canada should be helping pay for the invasion and occupation of any country that the US, in its infinite wisdom, deems to possess weapons of mass destruction...... or petroleum.
So to the American tax payers, keep your cheque book handy because George might decide that Canada needs more protection.
I have just spent some time exploring the opinions of Americans about Canada. It has been enlightening to say the least.
It seems that:
1. Many Americans still think that the 9/11 high-jackers entered the US from "Canada.
2. Canada is a communist country.
3. American tax payers' money is spent to defend Canada.
4. Canadian money is funny money because it has loons and beavers on it, instead of George Washington, and is therefore worthless.
5. Snow in July anyone. Go to Ontario.
6. Jean Chretien is still our Prime Minister.
7. Canadians and Europeans are wimps, and are to be ignored.
8. Canadians talk funny.
9. Canadians like Hamas better than the Americans.
10. Canada needs the US to buy its oil, hydro, water and minerals. Europe and Asia don't need
these things.
11. The way to stop terrorist from entering the United States from Canada is for Canada to spend more money on border security.
12. Close the US-Canada border. It wouldn't matter.
13. US should annex Canada.
14. Human rights are only to be enjoyed by Americans.
15. Everyone in the world is clamoring to go to the United States.

Woman says she may have started Paris hotel blaze24 died inside hostel that housed recent immigrantsVERENA VON DERSCHAUASSOCIATED PRESSPARIS - A night watchman's girlfriend who placed candles on the floor to set the scene for a romantic tryst but then left in a rage over his drunken state may have accidentally caused last week's hotel fire that killed 24 people, prosecutors said today.
The woman, who was detained Monday, told police she placed a dozen burning candles on the floor of the breakfast room of the Paris Opera hotel, then threw piles of clothes on the floor and left after she became angry that her boyfriend was drunk.

Huge wave slams cruise ship
ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Passengers disembarking today from a cruise ship that was struck by a freak seven-story-high wave said the stormy weather that smashed windows and sent furniture flying reminded them of the Titanic.
The Norwegian Dawn arrived with more than 2,000 passengers still on board after about 300 others decided to leave the ship early in Charleston, S.C., and fly or drive home. It docked on Manhattan's West Side, near the floating Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum.

It can be done. If you missed it when you graduated , do it now. First, read this article in the Chicago Tribune.The grown-up's guide to backpacking EuropeJust because you didn't get to do Europe when you were in college doesn't mean you can't do it now.
A euro-pincher's guide for Yanks By Robert CrossTribune staff reporterPublished April 17, 2005
Oh, there were so many reasons not to go.Terrorist acts, war in Iraq, the outrageous strength of the euro and the pound versus our milquetoast dollar, to name three.Instead of crossing the ocean, went the thinking, might as well take a look at the Grand Canyon or view sunrise at the Tetons.
But in their hearts, a lot of Americans longed for a few spring or summer days in France, Italy, Germany, Scandinavia or such former members of the Soviet bloc as the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania.
Maybe they had roots in Ireland, or needed a cultural uplift in Greece after too many "Desperate Housewives." Or perhaps they recalled a balmy afternoon at a sidewalk cafe where no one said "like, you know, then I went, and she goes…" in fractured American.
And it's beginning to appear that Europe's allure has greater magnetism than fear of war or terrorism.

Passport requirement would 'disrupt' border: Bush 2005-04-14 19:50:11 [Foreign]WASHINGTON — A contentious new security plan requiring Canadians to have passports when entering the United States would ``disrupt the honest flow of traffic" and should be changed, President George W. Bush said today.It would seem fair, that if Canadians are required to show a passport to enter the United States ( as a safe guard against terrorist entering the US from Canada), the Americans entering Canada should have to show a passport as well.
This would make the terrorists happy because they would have been successful in disrupting our trade and tourism. Way to go George! Which side is C.R. on ?

The Canadian government has issued a health warning for Canadians travelling in the U.S.A.It seems that the U.S. government is suspected of covering up American cases of MAD
COW Disease.
President Bush denies this, stating that no American has ever caught mad cow disease from a Mad American cow, therefore mad cow cases invovling American Cows are of no concern to American citizens. That is why these cases have not been publicized.
Paul Martin stated that Canadians travelling in the United States should only consume Canadian beef. Due to the suspected cases of MAD COW disease among American Cows Canadians are at risk, even if Americans are not.
Stephen Harper, Conservative leader of the opposition, responded to today's announcement by the U.S. regarding the terrorist threat posed by migratory birds, by declaring that this is further indication that the Liberals are out to insult and annoy the United States. "The government should have dealt with this security threat long ago, as this problem has existed for thousands of years." He declared that "this constant anti-American attitude of the government has gone too far this time. This is an issue that he is prepare to fight an election on."
He went on to indicate that migratory birds have no innate right of passage through U.S.A. territory, that these birds will have to be dealt with firmly and fairly. Our friend and emperor Mr. Bush has every right to protect the United States and its citizens, whatever the cost.
When Harper forms the next government he will determine which of these birds is Canadian and which is Mexican, and insist that proper documentation is issued to, and carried by each bird.
"As it is clear that no self respecting American bird would leave the United States to journey to Canada or Mexico, it is safe to conclude that all these migratory birds are non-Americans.
The possibility of non- North American birds infiltrating the annual migrations is at the heart of this decision. The Homeland Security Department has also put its neighbours on notice that it is investigating the problems associated with fish, whales, and animals such as bears, deer, wolves, mice, rats, beaver, fox, and the odd skunk being able to cross into American territory without any security control. It intends to make a high level demand ( uh, request) to Canada and Mexico that they implement policies and security procedures to end this problem in the near future.
Harper has assured the Department that his new government will do everything in its power to earn its support.
The Lost Wilderness
Former NYC Mayor Rudi Giuliani has announced today that the US Department of Homeland Security has decided that migratory birds travelling between Mexico and Canada, over United States territory constitute a terrorist security threat to the United States.
As of today, April 12, 2005 migratory birds entering US air space will be considered hostile and will be dealt with accordingly. All resources, including the missile defense system, will be used to ensure that this threat is met and contained.
Birds will be required to fly over international waters, on pre-determined, none threatening flight paths. Mexico and Canada will be held responsible for any violations. Penalties will include immediate destruction for the birds, and exclusion from future visits to the Texas ranch for Mexico and Canada. No exceptions will be tolerated.

Friday,April 8,2005 marks the beginning of my golfing season. I played 9 holes on Friday at the Wardsville Golf Club ( I'm a member) , played 9 holes Sunday in Oshawa with brother-in-law Shawn, and Played 18 holes today at Wardsville. y club has opened up a new 9 holes, so it now has 27 holes. this means that when the course is taken over by a tournament ( its is a public course), members will still be able to play.This is one of the best courses around this area. It also has moderate membership rates so it is a great place.
Today, my wife took my golf clubs to work with her, so when I arrive at the club I play I didn't have any club. I asked the woman at the clubhouse ( Merri Lee ) about renting some clubs and she said that the clubs they had for rentals were really bad. I am left handed, and so is she, so she lent me her clubs. This is something that can only happen in a small town. Golfers are notoriously protective of their golf clubs, especially if they have expensive equipment. This set of clubs was excellent.
Using clubs with slightly shorter shafts than I am used to made me realize that I have been playing with some clubs that have longer shafts than I should have.
One of the guys I was playing with was kidding me about playing with "lady's clubs", and said he was going to tell everyone that I said I liked playing with lady's clubs. I said "I don't care. I will just tell people about the fact that I played better with lady's clubs than you did with your own".
In fact I out -drove the three guys I was playing with, on every driving hole except one. Ha.
I was just really appreciative of the fact that Merri Lee lent me her clubs so I could get out and play on such a great sunny SW Middlesex day.
Maybe Meredith would like her grade 12 grad. picture for her birthday post better than her grade 8 pic.
(digital cameras are so great)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEREDITH!!!!!!!!

Southwest Middlesex, of which Glencoe is a part, is located in the Carolinian forest region of Canada. The following infomation is from the site www.carolinian.org. The local carolinian area is known as SKUNKS' MISERY.Carolinian Species & Habitats
Even though Carolinian Canada is quite small compared with other Canadian vegetation zones, making up only 1% of Canada's total land area, it boasts a greater number of both flora and fauna species than any other ecosystem in Canada. It is estimated that some 2,200 species of herbaceous plants are found here, including 64 species of ferns, at least 110 species of grasses, and over 130 different sedge species. There are 70 species of trees alone. Click here for a list of Representative Carolinian Species
Numerous species of reptiles and amphibians make their home primarily or entirely in this southern portion of Ontario, including the Eastern Spiny Softshell Turtle, the Eastern Fox Snake, the Hognose Snake, the Queen Snake, and Fowler's Toad. Close to 400 bird species have been recorded representing over half of the species in all of Canada. Several butterflies, such as the Karner Blue and the Frosted Elfin are restricted to this region. As well several mammals such as the Badger, the Gray fox, and the Virginia Opossum are primarily restricted to the Carolinian forest.
Ontario's Carolinian zone is the province's most threatened ecological region. Over 125 species in Carolinian Canada are considered vulnerable, species of special concern, threatened or endangered by either the federal or provincial government. Over 400 species in Carolinian Canada are considered rare by the Natural Heritage Information Centre.
The Carolinian zone habitats and ecosystems include forests, tallgrass prairies and savannas, wetlands, streams, shorelines and other aquatic habitats. Fifty-eight of these ecosystem types is considered rare. Each of these ecosystems have a distinctive set of species.

UNC WINS !
CLOSE GAME!
ILLINI PANICED.
I would have felt better about the UNC win if my
coaching hero, Dean Smith, had been coaching.
GREAT SEASON ILLINI!!!!!!
April 03, 2005
I mentioned in an earlier post that there were birds returning from the sunny south. While I would not describe myself as a "bird watcher", I would describe myself as moderately "bird aware".To live in southwestern Ontario and not be bird aware is almost impossible I think. We have a large variety of birds in this area, some that are here year round and some that are seasonal.
Canada geese migrate in winter, but large numbers, in recent years, have wintered in this area. Sparrows are ever present.
We have many seasonal visitors such as swallows of various sorts, purple martins, blue birds, baltimore orioles, noisy blue jays, cardinals, red winged black birds, finches, killdeer, mourning doves, humming birds, tundra swans, ducks and many other varieties.
Crows, starlings, turkey vultures, a variety of hawks, pigeons, and about 10 kms. away, a family of American Eagles add to the long list. Wood peckers and the occasional northern flicker visit us. Owls are sometimes seen at dusk sitting on fence posts or utility poles. I know there are other birds here as well, but not being a bird watcher, I don't know their names.
I know that a true bird watcher would travel hundred of kms. just to see a rare bird. Not me. If they come I sometimes notice, but that's it.
Point Peelee National Park, at Canada's Southern Extremity, on Lake Erie, has an even greater variety of bird and is a haven for bird watcher, hikers, and cyclists.
Our birds are not as colourful as those of Australia, but they are varied and interesting.
