THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK
People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when
they’re happy.
The words of kindness are more healing to a drooping
heart than balm or honey.
O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?
The telephone book is full of facts, but it doesn’t contain a
single idea.

What’s your FEAR?
I am but a girl walking into a gym that I have never been in before. I feel lost,
fat and like I am wearing a sign that says: I don’t know what I am doing. My
stress level is elevated as I walk through the door, but I do it. I walk in and
I survive. I take a look around the room and my heart starts beating faster
and I wonder if I really need to step onto one of the cardio machines for a
workout, as my heart is beating fast enough now that I am sure my fitbit
is going to warn me of my impending heart attack. As I continue to glance
around the room, I see of the strange machines that look like they belong in
a medieval torture chamber. There are grunting guys with hulking and bulky
muscles, girls that look like they could be a mix of prom queen and cheerleader, wearing barely there clothing, and mirrors……..oh, the mirrors…..
WHY are there mirrors, and not just tiny mirrors, they are floor to ceiling
mirrors, and everyone is looking at me…….. I approach the welcome desk,
where a pretty young trim girl sits filing her nails, looking at me with a sneer.
I am sure she is wondering what evil she did in a previous life to have to
now deal with me- a disheveled, overweight, sweaty slob, who obviously
should have been working out years ago.
Does any of that sound familiar to you? There are a ton of fears present
when we make the decision to engage in a healthy lifestyle. Our worst
enemy is usually ourselves, and our over active imagination. The scene
above is usually played out in many people’s minds when we think about
stepping into a fitness center for the first time or in a long time. Truth is a
different story though. Most places and people are usually very helpful, and
those that are living the active lifestyle are usually cheering the newcomers
on. They want us to succeed, they know how good they feel and they want
that for everyone. They want everyone to feel and look as good as they do!
Regardless of how we feel, not everyone in the gym is a beauty queen,
fitness model or all star quarterback, who looks like Bo Duke (yes, a childhood crush of mine!) You will find all kinds of people, and people of all sizes,
shapes and athletic ability in the gym. You will find that all those sizes and
shapes are there for the same reason: health!
How then do you deal with the machines and the mirrors, you ask? Attitude!
Book an appointment with a qualified, certified trainer to show you how to
use the machines properly so that you do not injure yourself, and to boost
your confidence in using them. The mirrors are your friend, they truly are.
You will come to love them. The mirrors are like your best friend that will
not lie to you. They will tell you if you are doing an exercise correctly, how
your posture is and if those shorts really don’t look good on you. Ok, a little
humor thrown in there!! The mirrors are there to help you, not centre you
out. Once you feel more confident in the gym, the mirrors will become part
of the natural habitat for you.
The last fear that I want to address: everyone is looking at me. Believe me,
they are not! That may sound mean, but they are focused on themselves in
the gym. The serious fit guys and gals are there for their health and usually
with limited time. Keep in mind that everyone had to walk through the door
for the first time at one point!
The Bottom Line
There is a lot of fear associated with the fitness industry. There are so many
reasons that we can talk ourselves out of working out or eating right. Once
we realize that our minds can be our worst enemy and embrace the reality,
we will find that we have many supporters encouraging us toward our goals.
The fit community doesn’t want to be exclusive; they want everyone to
embrace a healthy lifestyle. You may be surprised at how welcoming the
gym may be!

10-year-old race car driver Cody Wilds seeking online votes for sponsorship

Hensall Streetscape and Infrastructure Improvement Committee seeks
to up village’s visual appeal
Music – The last few weeks have been a tough time for rock ‘n’ roll icons. The
latest to follow Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister and David Bowie is Eagles co-founder
and guitarist Glenn Frey, who passed away on Monday in New York at the age
of 67. Frey reportedly died due to complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute
ulcerative colitis and pneumonia. He is said to have blamed his health problems on his hardliving, hard-rocking days in the 1970s. Frey co-wrote many of the Eagles’ biggest hits alongside
drummer and singer Don Henley, including “Hotel California” and “Life in the Fast Lane.” The
two formed the Eagles in Los Angeles in the early 1970s; both had moved to California to join
the music business. Their 1976 album Hotel California has sold more than 20 million copies,
while altogether the influential group has sold over 100 million albums. The Eagles broke up
in 1980 and took a 14-year hiatus, but reunited as a popular touring act in recent years. A
Showtime documentary, The History of the Eagles, aired in 2013. Last summer, the group
completed a two-year History of the Eagles tour.

Science – If people keep producing plastic at current rates and continue to fail
to dispose of it properly, by 2050 the amount of plastic in the world’s oceans will
outweigh the fish, according to the World Economic Forum. This poses a huge
problem to the environment, as plastic continues to wash on shores around the
world at unchecked rates, and is routinely found in the stomachs of sea turtles and marine
birds. According to a new WEF report, in the past 50 years, worldwide use of plastic has
increased 20-fold, and is expected to double again in the next 20 years. By 2050, they say
humans will be making more than three times as much plastic as we did in 2014. Meanwhile,
about a third of all plastics produced (about 8 million metric tons per year) winds up floating
in the ocean. As a visual aid, that amounts to five bags full for every foot of coastline on earth.
More than 70 percent of the plastic we produce is not recycled, and lands either in a landfill, the
world’s waterways, or elsewhere. Plastic production currently accounts for 6 percent of global
oil consumption, though by 2050 that could reach 20 percent. As the World Economic Forum
begins heralding the “fourth industrial revolution” in areas such as robotics and biotechnology,
they don’t want us to forget that problems still exist from previous industrial revolutions.
Space – Scientists have recently announced that a still-unseen body nearly the
size of Neptune orbits the sun every 15,000 years – a new ninth planet. It follows
a distant elliptical orbit in comparison to concentric circles of the rest of the solar
system, they said. Making the claim were planetary scientists Konstantin Batygin
and Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena. Other scientists
have reportedly taken a close look at their detailed calculations and are expressing a mixture
of caution and excitement about the result, according to Science Magazine. Batygin and Brown
believe a cluster of objects beyond Neptune were pulled into the orbit of the so-called “Planet
X,” which they believe has a mass of 10 Earths. The inferred planet would make its closest
approach to the sun at 200 astronomical units, seven times farther than that of Neptune (an
Astronomical Unit is the distance between Earth and the sun, or about 150 million kilometers).
The two admit that, until someone spies the object with a telescope, it’s just a hypothesis.
Scientists have begun what they say could be a five-year search of a large area in space they
believe Planet X could be hiding that they say could take five years. Brown had previously
achieved fame – or notoriety – in the scientific community for presenting evidence that Pluto
was just one of many dwarf planets part of the icy Kuiper belt. He is the authour of the book

A closer look at the Huron-Perth situation table
A pilot project known
as the Huron-Perth
“Situation Table” has
been formed and the
early results indicate
the Situation Table is
well on its way to improving the outcomes
for those that have
found themselves at
a vulnerable point in
their life. The multidiscipline partnership
known as the “Situation Table” is an innovative approach to
supporting those individuals and families
in our community that
are at the highest level
of risk for harm and/or
victimization. At the
mid-way point of the
six-month pilot project
the Huron-Perth Situation Table has identified and supported 18
individuals/families.

model is a relatively

Canada – Health ministers from
the provinces and territories are
calling on the federal government
to increase its share of health-care
spending to at least 25 per cent of
their costs. The ministers were expected to make the request yesterday during a meeting with federal
Health Minister Jane Philpott. According to B.C. minister Terry Lake,
spending on health care consumes
as much as 43 percent of the budgets in many of the provinces. For
her part, Philpott said the federal
government would like to focus on
how to spend money on health care
more efficiently. The Canadian Institute for Health Information reports
that, last year, health care spending
in Canada was expected to reach
$219.1 billion. Since the current
federal government has been more
cooperative with the provinces
than the last on some measures of
health care (Ottawa will join on to
the provinces’ program that saves
money on drugs by buying them in
bulk, a program the Harper government did not join), relations are expected to improve between the two
levels of government. Negotiations

Canada - Public Safety Minister Ralph
Goodale has said that changes the
previous government made to Canada’s criminal pardons system will be
reversed by his department. Under
Harper, pardons were changed to
“record suspensions,” the application
fee for them was quadrupled, and the
number of years needed to be eligible
was doubled for some offences. According to the CBC, the Parole Board
of Canada received nearly 30,000 pardon requests in 2011-12. Last year, it
received fewer than 13,000 record suspension requests. In 2012, the application fee increased from $150 to $631.
For someone found guilty of a summary offence such as marijuana possession, the waiting period to become
eligible for a record suspension is five
years. For more serious offences, the
wait time is 10 years. Goodale called
these changes punitive measures
that the current government would reexamine along with the name change
from “pardon.” According to the Parole
Board, pardons are designed to support someone’s rehabilitation and reintegration into their community. Experts
say that, as most jobs now require a
criminal record check, the changes
make it much harder for someone to
become employed.

This Day in History – January 22nd
1506 – The first contingent
of Swiss Guards arrives at
the Vatican – Since Switzerland has remained a neutral
nation through hundreds of
years of its history, for many
years one of the most popular career options for poor,
young Swiss men was to become a mercenary soldier for
whichever nation was in need
of a fighting force. One of the
earliest Swiss guard units to
be established was the Hundred Swiss (Cent Suisses),
which served French royalty
from 1490 until the time of
Napoleon. French King Francis I, who bankrolled much
early exploration of Quebec,
used roughly 120,000 Swiss
soldiers in his wars. When
he became pontiff in 1503,
the French Pope Julius II –
who had made use of Swiss
mercenaries while counsel
for French King Charles VIII
– ordered that he be supplied
with a constant supply of
around 200 Swiss soldiers to
act as body guards. The first
group of 150 Swiss Guards
arrived in Rome on this date
in 1506. Today, the Papal
Swiss Guard is one of the
oldest extant military units
in the world. Recruits for the
unit must be Catholic, single
males between the ages of
19 and 30 and a height of at
least 5’, 8.5”. They must also
hold Swiss citizenship, a high
school diploma, and have
completed basic training with
the Swiss military. One of the
Swiss Guards’ most famous
battles took place during the
Sack of Rome May 6, 1527,
when 189 soldiers fought off
German and Spanish soldiers long enough for Pope
Clement VII to escape the
Vatican. 147 were killed.
1879 – In South Africa, British troops and Zulu warriors fight in the battles of
Isandlwana and Rorke’s
Drift – On this date in 1879,
two early battles in the fivemonth Anglo-Zulu War took
place and saw drastically different results. In early January that year a British military
column set up camp near a
South African river crossing.

World Sports Roundup
NHL East - The Maple Leafs
(17-20-7) put an end to their losing ways on Tuesday, thanks to
some late game heroics from
defenseman Matt Hunwick, who
scored the game winner with
eight seconds left in a 3-2 win
over the Flyers (20-16-8). The
Canadiens (23-20-4) head coach
Michel Therrien is currently sitting on a hot seat, as the Habs
have lost their last five games
in a row, and now sit outside a
playoff spot despite a 9-0-0 start
to the season. After a rough start
to their California road trip, the
Senators (22-18-6) rebounded
with two wins, beating the Kings
5-3 after being down 3-1 early
in the third, and secured a 4-3
shootout win against the Sharks.
The Lightning (25-17-4) are making headlines this week. First,
they now have a six-game winning streak and sit second in the
Atlantic despite a slow start. Also,
Jonathan Drouin, who requested
a trade earlier this month, was
suspended for not showing up to
his AHL game against the Marlies on Wednesday. He reportedly didn’t want to get injured
and hurt his chances of getting
traded.
NHL West - The Canucks (19-1711) required extra time for all three
of their games this week, with a 3-2
OT win against the Hurricanes, a
2-1 shootout win against the Islanders, and a 3-2 OT loss to the Rangers. The Jets (21-22-3) ended their
three-game losing streak with a 5-4
OT win over the Predators (20-188), and a 1-0 win over the Wild (2216-8), but they followed that up with
a 2-1 loss to the Avalanche (24-213). The Flames (20-21-3) haven’t
had a good start to their five-game
road trip, dropping a 4-2 loss to the
Devils and losing 2-1 to the Oilers
(19-24-5). Speaking of Edmonton,
they beat the Panthers 4-2 after
that win against the Flames, and
went down to the wire with the
red hot Lightning, losing 6-4. Elsewhere, the Blackhawks (32-13-4)
set a new franchise record for longest winning streak by winning 12
in a row. The Coyotes (22-18-5)
made ripples in the hockey world
after trading “All-Star” John Scott
out of the division, with conspiracy
theorists saying they did it to get
him out of the showcase game in
Nashville on Jan. 31. However, it
was announced that he would still
participate as the Pacific Division
team’s captain.
AFC - Last weekend saw the divisional playoff round begin, with AFC
boasting the Patriots (12-4) versus
the Chiefs (11-5) and the Broncos
(12-4) versus the Steelers (10-6).
On Saturday, it was the Patriots who
started on the right foot, and held on
for the 27-20 win. Tom Brady took
the game in his own hands, throwing for two of the three touchdowns,
and running the other one in himself. Stephen Gostkowski also had
a strong game, going two-for-two
in field goal attempts. On Sunday,
it was a close game between Pittsburgh and Denver, as neither team
ever had more than a six-point lead
going into the fourth. While both
quarterbacks were solid, neither
were outstanding, considering the
game consisted of field goals and
rushing touchdowns. However, with
three minutes left, C.J. Anderson
rushed in a one-yard touchdown,
and a two-point conversion gave the
Broncos the difference, in a 23-16
win. This weekend, Denver and New
England – and quarterbacks Brady
and Peyton Manning – will meet in
the championships for the third year
in a row. Brady and Manning have
faced each other in the post season
four times, with each QB having won
twice.
NFC - The NFC also had an exciting weekend of divisional playoffs,
featuring the Packers (10-6) versus the Cardinals (13-3), and the
Seahawks (10-6) versus the Panthers (15-1). On Saturday, Green
Bay at Arizona saw some exciting back and forth action, with
both teams exchanging leads. It
got better as the game was ending as, on the last play of regulation, and down 20-13, Aaron Rodgers completed a 41-yard hail
mary to tie the game. However, it
took just 1:05 of overtime for the
Cardinals to win it 26-20. On Sunday, Seattle and Carolina played
a game that started out a one-sided blowout, but got exciting at the
end. It began with the Panthers
showing the world who the superior team was, running up the
score to make it 31-0 for Carolina,
while Russell Wilson was doing a
better job of giving the ball to the
Panthers than the Seahawks. Seattle’s experience began to show,
as they scored three touchdowns
and a field goal in the second half,
but they ultimately came up short
in a 31-24 loss. Next week, it will
be Carolina versus Arizona to decide who represents the NFC in
the Super Bowl.
Australian Open – Round Two of
the Australian Open in Melbourne
wrapped up yesterday, with hard-hitting Canadian Milos Raonic defeating
his second round opponent Tommy
Robredo of Spain in straight sets, 7-6
(6), 7-6 (5), 7-5. The 25-year-old Raonic now has a career record at the
Grand Slam tournament of 16-5 and
is so far 6-0 in 2016, after defeating
Roger Federer for the Brisbane title
earlier in the month. The 13th seed
from Thornhill is also a perfect 6-0
in his career against Robredo. On
Tuesday, he topped French player
Lucas Puille, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. Last
year, Raonic had a personal best
result in Melbourne, reaching the
quarter-finals before losing to Novak
Djokovic. Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil dropped his first round match
to 14th-ranked Frenchman Gilles
Simon. On the women’s side, Eugenie Bouchard lost her second round
match Wednesday to the fourthseeded Polish player Agnieszka Radwanska. Surprising first round exits
were handed to eighth-ranked Venus
Williams and 14-time Grand Slam
champion Rafael Nadal, while major
contenders such as Serena Williams,
Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka are
still in contention at the tournament
that wraps up Jan. 31.
NBA – The Toronto Raptors (27-15)
were 115-109 winners over the Celtics (22-21) at the Air Canada Centre
on Wednesday night for their seasonbest sixth consecutive victory. Sitting
in second place in the East, Toronto
is on pace to top last season’s franchise-best win total of 49. Making
his case for inclusion on the Eastern Conference’s All-Star team was
guard DeMar DeRozan, who poured
in 34 points, for his second consecutive game of 30 or more points. Toronto also had a season-high for
points in one quarter Wednesday,
when they racked up 40 in the third.
DeRozan alone accounted for 18 of
those points. DeRozan was also recently one of 30 players selected as
finalists for consideration for inclusion on the U.S. Olympic Men’s Basketball Team roster. Other names on
the list include last year’s MVP Steph
Curry of the Golden State Warriors
and three-time previous Olympians
Carmelo Anthony of the New York
Knicks and LeBron James of the
Cleveland Cavaliers. Anthony and
James each have two gold medals
from London and Beijing as well as
a bronze from Athens. The official 12man roster for Rio de Janeiro will be
announced later this year.
