'Who's Next'?It said that in this space

a couple or three monthsago, as Bill Cosby was get-ting dragged over theashes for his apparentpoor/unbecoming con-duct around those 'of thefairer of sex', and lastweek we got our answer.As an appeal for The Cosis in the works, MorganFreeman is the new 'Who'sNext' guy, and he's aboutto be drawn and quar-tered as the latest 'posterboy' of the 'Men WhoDo/Say Rude Things ToWomen' movement. And,a 'movement' it is! Onceagain, a whole group offemales....EIGHT in thiscase....somehow all comeforward/speak out at thesame tyme...to say what as--thead Morgan Freemanwas/is!

OPINION PAGe

Wednesday, May 30, 2018

curred to me the otherday....after Freeman's storyfirst broke...why do weNEVER see/here/read of ahandful of guys....like 7 or8....banding together atthe same tyme, all withsimilar claims/chargesagainst a famous womanactor? A woman who has(alledgedly of course)used and abused the gen-tlemen/touched or evenspoken to them inappro-priately. I guess that fa-mous women, actors orwhat have you, do NOTbehave like that, eh? Ever.Hey, good luck MorganFreeman....and don't hireCosby's lawyer.

My ASUS PC........a state-of-the-art desk

top model....hasn't beenworking worth a hoot forgoing on three monthsnow. Maybe longer. Isomehow manage to getthis "F/N" Column done upand sent down to TheTime-Star OK, after clickingthe 'Send' button, tho I'dhave zero record of whereit went/when it went or IFit went. Nothing listedunder 'Sent, Outbox orDeleted'. Most 'fwds' thatDID arrive became redun-dant immediately. Bottomline, it's been a helluvamess. So....SO....as lastevening's T-Storm was in-tensifying, Jo Ann andRotzy decided to shut the

TV AND the computer 'off',to possibly avoid potentialproblems....and we did. Soat 5:00AM today, I turnedthe ASUS 'on', fed in myemail address, and the se-cret 'password'....hence a'strange-looking' emailinfo page format ap-peared on the monitor.Well Rotzy isn't as dumbas I look, and after per-haps after 15 or 20 sec-onds I realized the'strange-looking page'wasn't/isn't 'strange' at all.That is the way it's SUP-POSED to look! It's back!!!And yes, I have no doubtthat the lightning bolt lastnight (*see above) playeda big part in my return toPC normalcy!

More Crazy StuffThe 30+C temps we

had for a day or three lastweek....during which I actu-ally overheard a local'complaining about theHEAT'!....'went somewhere'along with the storm. Rightdown to 3C this cloudy,still raining Saturdaymorning. Anyway, inchecking TWC reports fornext week, safe to say thereasonably warm 'spring'weather is upon us. Whatis it they say? 'In spring, ayoung man's fancies turnto thoughts of love'....orsomething like that, eh?Well, this olde guy's fan-cies....tho I still love Miz.

Jo....return to thoughts ofgrowing stuff. Flowers,veggies, anything thatgrows. And, as long as Iam still able to plant andwork a reasonable sizegarden, and a few pottedplants, well that's what I'mgonna do! Albeit, not im-mediately....our three veg-gie patches after thisdown-pour look like a VietNam rice paddy....withoutthe rice. But that'll change,and using the late ShirleyK's advice, 'safe-after June16th' (for plants), althospuds and onions will goin before then. I was think-ing about trying my handat 'medical' mirajuana butfound out that it's $15 forONE seed!! Pass on thatone. Tyme to 'get growing'to quote Shirley!

Readers WriteAnd readers are all over

this news story today! TheNipigonewrong MemorialBridge has 'FAILED' again!No, it didn't fall/collapseinto the Nipigon River....itjust 'FAILED. Like the lasttyme it 'failed''. Fridayevening at about 8:47from what I got from Miz.Jo. Methinks it 'failed' onthe east side of the bridgethis tyme....I think. Lastmess was on the westside....I think. One thing IDO KNOW....we have NOTcrossed thisarchitectural/engineeringnightmare since the first'failure', which was over 21/2 years ago! And youcan bet your diddy bagthat last night's boo-boowill NOT do anything tochange our self-inflicted'boycott'. 'Bridge over trou-bled waters' doesn't get itright. The waters are justfine, thank you! What amess.*Thought Of The Day...Ithink it's pretty cool howthe Chinese people madea language entirely out oftatoos."From Nakina"...until nexttyme.

Clergy SpeaksPastor Adam DeMoor

FamilyI am currently writing from my wife’s hometown. We trav-eled out a few days ago to visit with her family and someof mine were kind enough to make the trek north andmeet us here as well. The families here are very welcom-ing! Lots of food and space for everyone. No one is ex-cluded and there is always room for more. I love thatabout coming here.At Longlac Pentecostal Assembly (LPA) we use the termfamily to express how we interact with one another andwhen I think of how a church family should function. Ithink of my in-laws. We should never find ourselves in achurch that feels like some exclusive club. The peoplealso shouldn’t be against one another, but there can beminor spats (we are human). Having a unity that encour-ages generosity, welcomes unconditionally, and inviteshealthy criticisms is exactly the type of church/family Iwant to belong to. There is something special about going back to yourhome and seeing how things have changed. We areolder and have a growing family; no longer the crazyteens that wreaked havoc on our guardians. Stories of“the good ol’ days” are the centre of most conversationsand we look toward a future where our children canhave similar experiences.Don’t let your church stay stuck in the past. Reminisce andenjoy fond memories, but let the church family grow andwatch the generations around you contribute to the ever-changing dynamic. There is an experience we had inchurch that is phenomenal and profound. Our childrencan have that too. It just might look slightly different.Whether you attend LPA or not, I encourage you to lookat your local church as a more than a club. It’s a familyand you are always welcome at our table!

Benefits of Raisingyour Kids Bilingual

(NC) As parents, we want to offer our kids every advan-tage for a happy, healthy and successful life. Many thinkthis means ensuring our children do well in math andscience and doing better in school overall. But did youknow that learning a second language like English orFrench also offers many unique rewards? Here are somereasons to raise your kids bilingual.

A better, bigger brain. Research shows learning a sec-ond language actually changes the size and structure ofour brains. Speaking two or more languages is like men-tal exercise that trains the brain, leading to improved at-tention, memory skills, problem-solving abilities andmulti-tasking.

Greater empathy. Bilingual people also have better so-cial skills, allowing them to be more empathetic towardsothers and read them better. Experts think this is becausebilingual people are better able to block out their feel-ings and ideas, allowing them to focus on those of othersmore easily and accurately.

Protection against illness. Your kids will have plenty ofreasons to thank you for encouraging them to be bilin-gual when they get older. Studies show that being bilin-gual can delay the onset of dementia, includingAlzheimer's disease, for an average of five years. Bilin-gualism can also protect against brain injury — bilingualstroke survivors are twice more likely to experience cog-nitive recovery than monolingual people.

Practical benefits. Learning two languages when startedearly follows your kids in every sphere of their lives.Whether it's getting a good job, travelling to exciting des-tinations, experiencing more connections to different cul-tures and people, or contributing to diverse communities,a second language offers enrichment for a lifetime.

Since English and French are Canada's official lan-guages, why not start with those? And because our offi-cial languages belong to everyone, the Office of theCommissioner of Official Languages is holding publicconsultations and invites you to share your ideas onlineat officiallanguages.gc.ca.

5 garden-to-table herbs to try(NC) Herbs are the perfectway to freshen up yourgarden and dinner plate. Afew minutes is all it takes topick up some herbs at thestore and start an ediblegarden that will add a sea-sonal kick to your meals.

“Herbs are easy to grow,require little maintenanceand are equally at homeon an apartment balconyas they are in a backyardgarden,” says SonyaPalermo, gardening ex-pert. “I love that I can pickup some top-quality pottedPresident's Choice herbswith the other ingredientsfor a mouth-watering dishwhile I'm at my local gro-cery store.”

Parsley. This herb tends togrow well in containers aswell as in the garden.Whether it's Italian orbroad-leaf parsley, it's bestto plant towards the end ofMay to avoid late-seasonfrost. It pairs well with allred and white meats and

tastes especially good withcucumber, avocado or car-rots.

Chives. This easy-to-carefor herb grows abundantlywithout maintenance andthe taste is sure to impressthe young gardeners inyour family, who can snackon it during cool summerevenings. Chives' pepperyflavour is the perfect finishfor steak, chicken or lamband they go marvelouslywell with potatoes, greenpeas or radishes.

Rosemary. This is an excel-lent choice for containergardening since it appreci-ates its own space. Be sureto avoid overwatering andprovide appropriate sepa-ration from other plants tokeep the leaves free ofmildew. Lamb, pork, beefand turkey are great can-didates for a few sprigs, asare squashes, leeks andsweet potatoes.

Mint. Another easy grower,

mint is best raised in aplanter on your patio or ina submerged pot in thegarden since it proliferateseasily. Maintain your mintby thinning regularly andnipping buds. Lamb,chicken and salmon areall sensational with it, butpairing with watermelon,asparagus or snow peaswill really blow you away.There's also nothing likefresh mint in your mojitoon a hot summer day.

Thyme. Another low-effortherb to plant, keeping in

mind that thyme likes alka-line soil and full sun. Manypeople will use this plantas a fragrant groundcover. With a little pruningin the spring and summer,yours will turn out greatand its nuanced flavourand aroma will pay divi-dends in the kitchen. Try itwith pork tenderloin or getcreative with honey lemonthyme cocktails.

For more ideas, head toyour local PC Garden Cen-tre.

For the first game of the2018 season we playedhigh & low hidden hole.Once we played our gamethe hidden hole was cho-sen by random pick andwas hole #4.

Gold Division: Low - Sue ForbesHigh- Darlene Leupen(3 way tie)

Silver Division: Low- Karen ArmstrongHigh- Sylvie Fortier (2way tie)

Bronze Division: Low- Elaine Mannisto (4way tie) High- Janet Flynn

Where we had ties in eachdivision, it was the generalconsensus that we picknames out of a hat for thewinners. Hope to see youout golfing next week.Ladies night starts at 4pmon Wednesdays and wewill be on Furbr side. Thegame will be poker hand.

Is Summer Weather Here to Stay?OAKVILLE, ON, May 28,2018 /CNW/ - After a sluggish start tospring, summer weatherhas burst onto the sceneacross much of Canada,but is it here to stay? To letCanadians know whatconditions they can expectduring the most antici-pated season of the year,The Weather Network hasreleased its Summer Fore-cast for the months ofJune, July and August.

The Weather Network'sforecast highlights a hotand dry summer for mostof western Canada.Drought is a major con-cern across parts of thePrairie provinces whilewildfires will be a growingconcern later in the sum-mer, especially acrossBritish Columbia. Temper-atures will be close to nor-mal from the Great Lakesto Atlantic Canada.

"This summer looks to be awarmer version of the pat-tern we saw acrossCanada last year, with thehottest weather anchoredover western Canada,"said Chris Scott, Chief Me-teorologist at The WeatherNetwork. "Ontario andQuebec will once again

escape the hottestweather, but this summerwill bring more heat thanlast year, along withample opportunity forthunderstorms. AtlanticCanada looks to have thebest combination of condi-tions with a warm summerand near seasonal precip-itation, while drought is aworry for much of thePrairies and interior B.C."

Below is a more detailedlook at the conditions thatwe expect across Canadathis summer:

British ColumbiaWarmer than normal tem-peratures are expectedacross B.C. this summer,especially during the sec-ond half of the seasonwhen extended periods ofhot weather are forecastacross the interior of theprovince. A slow start tothe wildfire season is antic-ipated due to near normalprecipitation during Juneand wet conditions fromthe late melting of theabove normal snow pack.However, there is concernthat the hot and increas-ingly dry conditions later inJuly and August will resultin another active wildfireseason.

PrairiesA dry summer is predictedacross the Prairies, andthis is expected to have asignificant impact on agri-culture. Widespreaddrought conditions are al-ready in place across partsof the central and easternPrairies, and it looks likethe drought could worsenand expand through thesummer. Warmer thannormal temperatures areforecast across Albertaand Saskatchewan withnear normal temperaturesthroughout Manitoba.However, there are signsthat parts of the Prairiescould see an earlier thannormal end to the grow-ing season with the poten-tial for an early arrival ofcooler weather as wehead into the fall season.

Ontario and QuebecA warm and sometimesstormy summer is forecastin southern Ontario andsouthern Quebec. Temper-atures will be near normalacross the region, exceptfor areas around HudsonBay which should becooler than normal. Theregion is expected to seemore hot weather thanlast year, especially during

the first half of summer.However, changeableconditions are likely withseveral periods of coolerweather anticipated, espe-cially during the secondhalf of the summer. Thereis the potential for coolerweather to arrive soonerthan normal as early fallapproaches, threateningan early end to the grow-ing season. Throughoutthe summer, the change-able pattern and availabil-ity of abundant Gulfmoisture should result inabove normal precipita-tion due to rounds of thun-derstorms across theregion.

Atlantic CanadaA cool start to the seasonshould give way to moreconsistent warm weatherduring July and August. Ahumid summer is ex-pected, which should re-sult in warmer thannormal temperatures atnight, especially acrosssouthern areas. Whilethere will be stretches ofdry weather, periods ofheavy showers and thun-derstorms should bringrain totals to near normalfor the season. TheWeather Network's teamof meteorologists will also

be keeping a close watchon the tropics, especiallylate in the summer andinto the fall.

Northern CanadaA warm summer is fore-cast for the Yukon andparts of the Northwest Ter-ritories, while a coolersummer is expected formuch of Nunavut. Wildfiresand smoke will be grow-ing concerns, especiallyfor the Northwest Territo-ries during July and Au-gust.

Summer's heat and hu-midity, which is expectedin abundance in manyparts of Canada, meansan increased threat for se-vere thunderstorm activity,including the risk for torna-does. This is the time ofyear when Canadiansneed to pay extra close at-tention to the daily fore-cast as dangerousweather can develop rap-idly. Canadians can pre-pare for changeableweather patterns by visit-ing www.theweathernet-work.com or bydownloading The WeatherNetwork App and creatingan account for personal-ized and up-to-the minuteforecast information.

COMMUNITY NOTICEAnnual Vegetation Management Program

CN is required to clear its rights-of-way from any vegetation that may pose a safety hazard. Vegetation on railway right-of-way, if left uncontrolled, can contribute to trackside fires and impair proper inspection of track infrastructure. As such, for safe railway operations, the annual vegetation control program will be carried out on CN rail lines in the province of Ontario. A certified applicator will be applying herbicides on and around the railway tracks (mainly the graveled area (the ballast)). All product requirements for setbacks in the vicinity of dwellings, aquatic environments and municipal water supplies will be met. This program will take place from May 28, 2018 to August 31, 2018.

Visit www.cn.ca/vegetation to see the list of cities affected.

My CancerIQ: 10 Minutesto Learn Your Cancer Risk

By Katherine MayerIn less than 10 minutes,you can find out your per-sonalized risk for develop-ing breast, cervical,colorectal, lung, kidneyand skin cancers with anonline risk assessment toolcalled My CancerIQ.With technology availableat our fingertips, it’s oftendifficult to know whathealth information re-sources you can trust. MyCancerIQ is an evidence-based website that wasdeveloped in partnershipby Ontario’s Ministry ofHealth and Long-TermCare and Cancer Care On-tario. The resource canhelp you to make healthychanges in your life to pre-vent chronic diseases, likecancer.All questions askedthroughout the My CancerIQ assessments addressfactors or behaviours thatresearch has shown arelinked to the risk of devel-oping a specific type ofcancer. As you workthrough the assessments,you’ll learn:• What factors help to keepyour risk of cancer down

• What factors increaseyour risk of developingcancer

• What you can do to man-age or reduce your risk,including links to helpfulresources

• Where appropriate, you’lllearn whether youshould be screened forparticular types of cancer,such as colorectal, cervi-cal and breast cancer. Ifscreening is an option,your final assessment re-port will also give youlinks to screening re-sources in your commu-nity

What’s unique about thistool is that it uses Ontariodata. When you completeone of the My CancerIQquestionnaires, you get apersonalized report thathighlights your risk of de-veloping that type of can-cer in comparison toOntarians of the same sexwho are 40 years andover. More importantlythough, your report willalso provide you with in-formation about how youcan prevent cancer bymaking specific lifestylechanges.

As many as half of all can-cers in Ontario could beprevented by eliminatingor reducing risk factors.While specific cancer ratesvary across the province,what all of the cancers in-cluded in the My CancerIQtool have in common isthat they have modifiablerisk factors that can be af-fected by lifestyle. In North-western Ontario, breast,colorectal and lung cancerrates are higher thanprovincial averages, andall three have modifiablerisk factors that we canlearn about using My Can-cerIQ.Since the launch of MyCancerIQ in early 2015,more than 146,000 Ontar-ians have learned abouttheir cancer risk and howto lower it. The reports youreceive can be printed,emailed or saved so youcan use them as a conver-sation started with yourhealth care provider, fam-ily members and friends.Get health informationthat you can trust by tryingMy CancerIQ at www.my-canceriq.ca
