TIDBITS LOOKS INTO THE HISTORY OF CURLING ORIGINS

The precise beginnings of curling will always remain a mystery! However, it is not hard to imagine a man, hundreds or even thousands of years ago, who weighed a smooth, heavy rock in his hand, then watched and listened with fascination as he launched it along a glistening bed of ice on a frozen river. This “first curler” must have been intrigued by the way the rock moved and by the grumbling sound it made as it twisted and turned. Other people in the not so distant past have heard this same sound and have applied it as a nickname for the game of curling ... it is often referred to as “the roaring game”.

Scots and continental Europeans have engaged in many a lively dispute as to the true origin of curling. Both claim to be founders. Did Scots invent the game, or was it imported by Flemish sportsmen who emigrated to Scotland during the reign of James VI (James I of England)? Did Europeans engage in some early form of curling, and did Scots merely adopt and enhance it? The evidence, based on works of art, contemporary writings, and archaeological finds, has sparked a number of theories, but nothing is conclusive.

Curling ContinuedSome of the earliest graphic records of a game similar to curling date from 1565. Two oil paintings by the Dutch master Pieter Bruegel, entitled “Winter Landscape with Skaters and a Birdtrap” and “Hunters in the Snow”, show eisschiessen or “ice shooting”, a Bavarian game played with a long stick-like handle, that is still enjoyed today. Another work, an engraving by R. de Baudous (1575 - 1644) after N. van Wieringen, entitled “Hyems” or “Winter”, shows players who appear to be sliding large discs of wood along a frozen water-way. Other sketches from around the same time show a Dutch game called kuting, played with frozen lumps of earth.

The first hand-written record of what could be called an early curling game dates from February, 1540, when John McQuhin of Scotland noted down, in Latin, a challenge to a game on ice between a monk named John Sclater and an associate, Gavin Hamilton.

The first printed reference to curling appears in a 17th century elegy published by Henry Adamson, following the death of a close friend: His name was M. James Gall, a citizen of Perth, and a gentle-man of goodly stature, and pregnant wit, much given to pastime, as golf, archerie, curling and jovial companie. It seems too that the game tempted many people from all walks of life. Records from a Glasgow Assembly of Presbyterians in 1638 accused a certain Bishop Graham of Orkney of a terrible act: He was a curler on the ice on the Sabbath..

By the 18th century, curling had become a common past-time in Scotland. Both the poetry and the prose of the era provide numerous records of bonspiels, curling societies, and curling as a great national game.

Curling ContinuedThe real controversy over the birthplace of the game was initiated by the Reverend John Ramsay of Gladsmuir, Scotland. In his book, An Account of the Game of Curling (Edinburgh 1811), he argued in favor of Continental beginnings. His research into the origins of curling words (examples: bonspiel, brough, colly, curl, kuting, quoiting, rink, and wick), led him to conclude that they were derived from Dutch or German. Claiming that most of the words were foreign, he wrote, but the whole of the terms being Continental compel us to ascribe to a Contintental origin.

The famous historian, the Reverend John Kerr contested Ramsay’s views and campaigned in favor of Scottish beginnings to curling. In A History of Curling (1890), Kerr questioned: if Flemings had brought the game to Scotland in the 1500’s, why did Scottish poets and historians make no special mention of its introduction before 1600?. He also saw no proof that many of the terms were Continental, explaining that many were of Celtic or Teutonic origin (examples: channel stone, crampit, draw, hack, hog, skip, tee, toesee, tramp, and tricker).

To add to the puzzle, archaeological evidence of a curling stone (the famous Stirling Stone) inscribed with the date 1511 turned up, along with another bearing the date 1551, when an old pond was drained at Dunblane, Scotland.

The true origin of curling is cloudy, lost in time. There is no doubt or dispute, however, that the Scots nurtured the game. They improved equipment, established rules, turned curling into a national past-time, and exported it to many other countries throughout the world.

EVOLUTION As curling gained popularity in Scotland in the early 1800’s, a uniform set of rules became necessary for the many new participants. The Duddingston Club was the first, in 1804, to set out the “Rules in Curling”, remarkable for their common sense and for their similarity to those followed today.

Max - 10 year old neutered DLH. My foster mom was so surprised that

within an hour of arriving, I just pranced right upstairs and onto the couch even though 3 cats and a dog already dominate this domain. We all know that’s not a normal confidence found in cats, but I’m special that way. I’m back at the shelter so please take some time out to meet me because it’s obvious I just want to be part of a family. I have been at the shelter since March 23rd – my adoption fee has been sponsored!

Pandora- Adult female DLH. I am an affections (and attractive!) older gal who is still looking to shake things up

once and a while. I’m cat-social with other felines, and currently spend my time hanging out with five of my closest friends in one of the shelter’s communal cat rooms. I’m looking for that special someone who can help me comb my beautiful hair and tell me how pretty I am!

Jordan -y. adult n e u t e r e d MalamuteI know this may sound c o n c e i t e d

but I am going to risk it: I think I am the most handsome boy at the shelter! I have heard the staff here call me “gorgeous”, and I soak it all up. I talk to everyone who walks by and love to go out and exercise with the canine fitness co-ordinators here at the shelter. I am a whole lotta boy looking for a whole lotta family to call my very own. Did I mention I can sing?

Willie - 9 year old neutered A k i t a / S t BernardI am not here by any fault of

my own, my owners are dealing with some medical issues and they knew they wouldn’t have the time to spend with me. I am a sweet, quiet and gentle boy who would love to be your fitness buddy. With me by your side you will want to get out and walk a couple of times a day, just to show me off!

Homes for the HolidaysWhile the Moose Jaw Humane Society does not endorse giving pets as gifts, the shelter is looking to find some adoptable animals their forever homes during the upcoming festive season. Their “Homes for the Holidays” campaign is focusing on the shelter’s longer-term residents; all of these animals are attractive and have fantastic personalities, however, due to a variety of reasons, these wonderful pets have been repeatedly passed over by potential adopters. Some animals may be overlooked because they are “just black”, “not young enough” or quite simply, they do not show well in a kennel/cage environment. Those interested in meeting the available animals are encouraged to visit the shelter and take these animals out for walks or into visitation rooms where they can meet the animal one-on-one and really get to see a better view of that pet outside its kennel walls. The shelter hopes that by showcasing these special pets on their website, Facebook page, and also through Shaw Cable’s weekly Paws feature (channel 10), it will help get these terrific animals the homes for the holidays they deserve.

Christmas DonationsThe community of Moose Jaw has a lot of goodwill, and is always looking for ways to help out those in need. This Christmas season, the Moose Jaw Humane Society is asking people if they would consider donating in a way that they can better manage at their limited facility. This approach allows the Humane Society to use all donations in the best possible way for the animals in their care.

Aside from the issue of lack of secure storage space, the shelter also battles a rodent problem, as ironic as that seems in a shelter full of cats! At Christmas time, the humane society sees a lot of unfortunate waste occur when the supply of food donations by well-meaning donors far outweighs their demand. As well, the Humane Society tries very hard to keep their dogs and cats on a consistent supply of quality dry food, meaning that the same brand is always used every day. This aids their pets in having a healthier stay; having fewer upset tummies is better for all the pets and for staff too!

For people who are considering donating food to the Moose Jaw Humane Society this Christmas season, the shelter would like to let them know that they can instead make a cash donation to the shelter and have it allocated directly towards food. The humane society does have the opportunity to buy their dry food for their cats and dogs from a wholesaler at a reduced cost. This not only allows them to purchase the food they need at a reasonable cost, but they can also control the supply they have on hand, thus preventing waste and spoilage.

If anyone wishes to donate something a little more tangible, the shelter does suggest buying gift cards so the food or other required products can be purchased at the time need. Gift cards can also be used for other items in great need, such as cleaning supplies and cat litter, which are often overlooked as some of the basic necessities of running an animal shelter.

Bella - 3 year old s p a y e d P y ra n e e s /C o l l i e . I really

need a home, one with people dedicated to walk me everyday. I am house trained and walk well on a leash. I LOVE people and attention but I would do best in a home with older children. Cats should not be a part of my life. I like some dogs and others not so much. I am a big girl with a big heart!

Bear- 8 year old neutered DSH. I’m a real “people” sort of cat, not a snob like some of

my counterparts. I love everyone and everything! My owner had to surrender me due to a move to housing that wouldn’t allow pets, and I’ve been waiting at the shelter for the past eight months for someone to choose me. I’ve adjusted well, but am eager to get out into a home of my own. If you’d like a kind and gentle companion, I am the cat for you! My adoption fee has been sponsored!

Curling ContinuedSubsequently, as more and more clubs were formed, it became evident that a governing body had to be set up to co-ordinate the growth of the curling community, at least in Scotland. John Cairnie was an accomplished curler who had built a curling hall at Largs, Scotland in 1813. He was also an innovator and the driving force for the creation of a “Mother Club of Curling”. In 1833, he called on all Scottish clubs to submit lists of their officers, numbers of curlers, and matches played. The information was used to establish the Grand Caledonian Curling Club in Edinburgh in 1838, and to provide for its members The Annuals, a record of curling that has been compiled regularly since 1839.

In 1843, the Grand Caledonian was granted the patronage of Prince Albert, and was renamed as the Royal Caledonian Curling Club. Since then, patrons have always been members of the Royal Family, and beginning in 1900, have been either a king or a queen. The founding of the Royal Club gave curling its first central association, and the occasion is generally considered as the most prominent and far-reaching event in the history of the sport.

Protect your home on the go

Full interactive security systems hot new trend

(NC)— According to experts in the home security industry the latest trend that is gaining popularity in homes across the country is the fully interactive security system that is making protecting your home and loved ones much easier and more effective while on the go.

Imagine the convenience of disarming your alarm system while sitting in your driveway, or checking in on your pet or teenagers while you’re out of town? With systems such as Reliance Protectron’s new interactive services through www.myprotectron.com and Go Control” all this is possible and more.

In addition to Protectron’s state-of-the-art monitoring services, with the cutting-edge colour touch-screen interactive Go Control system or other comparable technology, you can monitor your system from anywhere via the web or your smartphone, including arming and disarming it remotely, according to Patrice De Luca, VP of marketing and business development for Reliance Protectron Security Services. “Its powerful functionalities make this the most advanced home-security technology available – and at a very attractive price.”

The myprotectron.com interactive home security services lets you have full control over your system with a wealth of monitoring tools. For example, you can get real-time updates on doors and windows, watch live and recorded video feeds, and review “event histories” for when your kids get home from school or when cleaning

or maintenance crews come and go. You can even receive live weather reports 24/7 to gauge if an increase in home temperature is required from your integrated energy management system.

All this control is accessible by logging in to your myprotectron.com account from your personal computer, BlackBerry, Android, iPhone app or any web-enabled device.

The Go Control system requires no landline or Internet connection; instead, the signal from your security system travels wirelessly using a dedicated, encrypted and secure connection. When trouble strikes, it interacts with Protectron’s monitoring centres to send out an immediate response. So unlike traditional security alarm systems that rely on a telephone line, it works in every home and can’t be defeated by a burglar snipping or tampering with the wire.

“The Go Control panel features a state-of-the-art colour touch-screen interface, GSM (cellular) transmitter (radio), integrated two-way voice, along with the built-in Z-Wave RF transmitting protocol, making it the most advanced home-security technology available,” added De Luca.

The system will keep you updated on anything you want to know about the security of your property while you’re away with email or text message alerts when specific sensors are activated giving you unprecedented control over the security of your home or business. More information and instructional videos on protecting your home on the go is available online at www.protectron.com.

Curling ContinuredScottish immigrants introduced curling to Canada where it thrived and attained a level of excellence that remains unsurpassed.

The sport evolved significantly from its humble beginnings when, in the winter of 1760, Scottish troops melted down cannon balls to fashion curling irons. Long, harsh Canadian winters were ideal for the game.

By 1807 the first North American club was established. On January 22 of that year, twenty sporting Montreal merchants, who had been curling on the ice of the St. Lawrence River behind Molson’s Brewery, founded the Montreal Curling Club. (In 1924, the club was honored with the privilege of adding “Royal” to its name.)

Early rules of the Montreal Club stated that the losing party pay for a bowl of whisky toddy, to be placed in the middle of the table for the rest of the curlers.

A second club was organized at Quebec City in 1821, also using irons. Curlers from each city met halfway on the St. Lawrence River at Trois Rivières in 1836. Quebec won, 31-23, with the losers paying for dinner.

The Montreal and Quebec curling clubs sought affiliation with the Royal Caledonian Curling Club as soon as news of the founding of the Royal Club reached them. They were accepted and named the Canadian Branch of the royal Caledonian Curling Club in 1852, with headquarters in Montreal. The Canadian Branch still exists as the governing body for curling in eastern Quebec and the Ottawa Valley in eastern Ontario.

Q: When will “In Treatment” be back? I hope soon. -- Linda W., via e-mailA: HBO canceled the Gabriel Byrne-starring drama in spring 2011 after three seasons and more than 100 episodes. At first there was talk of it possibly returning in a new incarnation; however, it would appear those plans have been scrapped.As I reported a few months back, you can catch Gabriel on television again soon. He’ll be starring in the History Channel original scripted drama “Vikings,” which is slated for

a 2013 premiere. Gabriel’s “In Treatment” co-star Dianne Wiest recently co-starred with Jennifer Garner in “The Odd Life of Timothy Green,” and Michelle Forbes starred in AMC’s now-defunct “The Killing,” as Rosie Larsen’s mom, Mitch.

***Q: I enjoy “Major Crimes” very much, and I wondered if it will be back for another season? -- Pat B., via e-mailA: “Major Crimes,” TNT’s “The Closer” spinoff starring Mary McDonnell, was the year’s No. 1 new cable drama, so you can bet it will return for a 15-episode second season (up from a 10-episode first season) in summer 2013. As the premiere gets closer and I learn an exact date, I’ll be sure to let you know so you won’t miss Capt. Sharon Raydor and crew as they solve cases for LAPD’s Major Crimes Division.

***Q: What happened to the program “Fairly Legal”? Will it return? -- Marilyn S., Webster, N.Y.A: The USA network’s legal dramedy wrapped its second season this past June 15, with the third season to premiere in spring 2013 (no official date yet). If you are going through “Fairly Legal” withdrawal, season one is now on DVD, and season two is available for streaming purchase through amazon.com. Also, you can go to www.celebrityextraonline.com and search the archives to read my March 16 interview with series co-star Virginia Williams (Lauren Reed).

***Q: I am big fan of “Single Ladies,” but somehow I missed a few episodes. Where can I catch up on my viewing? --- Hal W., via e-mail

A: Season two of the hit VH1 original scripted series is now available on DVD as a four-disc set containing all 14 episodes with bonus clips. Also, the show has been renewed for a third season, to premiere summer 2013.

***Q: As the end of “The Office” gets closer, I am reminded that Rainn Wilson was supposed to get a spinoff, where I believe we get to see how Dwight and his cousin, Mose, run the beet farm. Is this still happening? -- Gennifer T., Allentown, Pa.A: It appears that plans for the Dwight/Mose spinoff, which was tentatively called “The Farm,” have fallen through. In late October, Rainn tweeted the following message to his millions of Twitter followers: “NBC has passed on moving forward with ‘The Farm’ TV show. Had a blast making the pilot -- onwards and upwards!”

Curling ContinuedNearly 40,000 people, most of them Scots, settled Ontario between 1816 and 1823. Some of them were stone masons and made their curling stones from granite. Ontario’s first curling club was in Kingston (1820). Within five years, the game’s popularity had spread to Toronto. Curling clubs sprouted all over the province and the founding of the Toronto Curling Club in 1837 foreshadowed that city becoming the center of curling in Ontario.

Competition between Quebec and Ontario curlers grew and in 1859, with the coming of the Grand Trunk Railway, curlers no longer had to travel days by horse and wagon to compete against each other. The only problem was that Quebec curlers insisted on competing with their irons (used widely in Montreal until 1954), while Ontario curlers wanted to use granite rocks. They compromised by playing separate matches using irons against irons and rocks against rocks. Quebec invariably won the games using irons and Ontario won the games played with rocks.

Curling spread fairly quickly throughout Ontario in the early part of the 19th century. But even though Ontario curling clubs had three times the membership of Quebec clubs, they remained without a policy-making voice until 1874, when they united and joined the Royal Club as the branch of the Province of Ontario.

Add Taste of India to Roasted PotatoesI enjoy tossing a variety of spices in family meals, but I clearly hadn’t used mustard seeds in a while -- make that a

long while. While cleaning out my spice drawer, I discovered a dented can wedged in back with a 1985 expiration date stamped on the bottom. It might be a good year for a fine wine, but mustard seeds? The experience had a positive outcome. I dashed off to my neighborhood natural-foods store to pick up fresh spices in bulk (in small quantities) for fall and holiday cooking. While there, I was inspired to take in that evening’s cooking class, “Global Flavor Gone Local,” with chef Kate Moore.Full of tips and tricks, Kate encouraged us to be spontaneous when cooking at home. With a well-stocked pantry of spices, it’s easy to change the flavor profile of a dish. Like Italian? Use basil, parsley and garlic. Latin? Try cumin, coriander and chipotle. “With a willingness to experiment, kitchen miracles can happen,” she said. Here’s my own take on Kate’s techniques for preparing Indian-flavored roasted potatoes. My family always clamors for more of these spiced up spuds when served as a side with roasted chicken, pork or grilled fish.

Indian-Spiced Roasted Potatoes

6 medium, red or white skin potatoes 2 tablespoons minced garlic1 tablespoon grated or minced fresh ginger2 tablespoons olive oil1 teaspoon mustard seeds1 teaspoon coriander seeds1 teaspoon cumin seedsSalt to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.2. Scrub, dry and cut the potatoes into eighths and place in a bowl.

3. Heat a saute pan with olive oil over medium heat and toss in a “tester” pinch of ginger. When the ginger starts to sizzle, toss in the remaining ginger, the garlic and whole spices. Cook until fragrant and spices are lightly toasted, about 1-2 minutes. 4. Spoon the Indian-flavored oil and ingredients into the bowl of potatoes. Add salt and toss until all sides of the potatoes are well-coated.5. Spoon potatoes on a baking sheet and spread out onto one layer. Roast for 30

minutes, or until tender. Flip once to ensure even cooking.6. Remove from oven and serve. Serves 6.

Curling ContinuedCurling spread more slowly in the Maritimes. Coal miners from Scotland, with curling stones in tow, settled in Nova Scotia and started clubs in Halifax (1824) and Pictou (1829). Another group of Scots brought the game to Newfoundland, forming a club in St. John’s in 1843. New Brunswick sportsmen were inspired to take up curling after reading about the 1853 Grand Match at Carsebreck, Scotland. They imported stones, liked the game and formed a club in 1854. Islanders caught onto the game later and founded a club at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in 1887.

Manitoba’s first settlers, in 1812, made curling stones from oak blocks. Curling exploded in the west, turning Winnipeg into the center of curling, with more clubs in Manitoba than in Quebec and Ontario combined. The Manitoba Branch of the Royal Caledonian was established in 1888 and curlers from all parts of Canada and the U.S.A. flocked to the Winnipeg Curling Club, with 62 rinks participating in the bonspiel that year.

Small clubs began to pop up all over Saskatchewan after about 1880. They catered to farmers and featured thatched wooden huts to protect curlers and the natural ice from the snow and wind. Before long, Saskatchewan had more curlers than any other province. Early clubs in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia chose to turn to the Manitoba Branch for guidance.

Cold winters drove curling indoors and the bigger clubs began to build indoor rinks after 1840. By 1900, Canadian curling clubs had moved almost exclusively indoors. Indoor rinks, and later, modern ice-making technology brought the sport closer to an art form, eliminating snow, ice bumps and much of the luck that had previously made up the game.
