TIDBITS® GOES OUT

IN THE COLD!by Patricia L. Cook

In winter most areas of North America are dealing with cold weather. Some people love it; some hate it. In this Tidbits we will look at ice fishing and icebergs, as well as how you can be left “out in the cold,” and that has nothing to do with the weather! • Cold is defined as “having a relatively low

temperature; having little or no warmth.” Also, in regards to behavior or personality it can be: “lacking in passion, emotion, enthusiasm” or “not affectionate, cordial, or friendly.”

• If you’ve ever been in a situation where you were ignored, neglected or forgotten, you probably felt like you were “left out in the cold.” In this situation, the term is used as an idiom. This idiom originated in the 1800s in reference to someone who was left outdoors without shelter. Hopefully this doesn’t happen often!

• Many fishermen (mostly men, but there are women enthusiasts as well) love to drill through deep ice and wait for fish to bite! Ice fishing is a major winter past-time in Canada and northern states in the U.S. that are cold enough for thick ice. Some great advantages of ice fishing: not as many anglers trying to get your spot, fewer insects “bugging” you, and you’re not likely to perspire!

IN THE COLD! (continued):• Because Canada has long winters, it is no

wonder that they have a lot of people who like to ice fish. It is home to the greatest number of participants in the sport. In the year 2000, Canadian anglers spent a combined total of 4,489,296 days ice fishing!

• A small fishing village on the south shore of Nova Scotia, West Pubnico, was named for the native Mi’kmaq word, Pombcoup, which means: “a hole that has been cut in the ice for fishing.”

• More than 60% of the fish Canadians catch beneath the ice are caught and released. They eat less than one third of their catch. They practice CPR: “catch, photograph, release!”

• Minnesota is nicknamed the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.” There are actually 11,842 lakes in the state that are 10 acres or larger (4 ha). With so many lakes and cold winters it is no wonder that ice fishing is a popular sport.

• Minnesota is known for its abundance of ice shelters set up on the state’s lakes. If you’ve ever flown into or out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport you have probably noticed all of the dots on the lakes! Each year it is estimated that around 150,000 ice fishing shelters are set up. The state’s Department of Natural Resources estimates that about 30% of the fish caught in the state are caught when the lakes are frozen.

• Ice fishing is a risky sport and the depth of the ice is something to be taken very seriously. In 2009, over 100 people were stranded on the Great Lakes. They became stranded when ice broke away where they were fishing. The Coast Guard rescued all, however, one died in route to the hospital due to hypothermia. This life threatening condition occurs when body temperature falls below 95° F (35° C).

• Icebergs are much thicker than the ice that freezes over lakes in the winter. Icebergs are chunks of ice that developed on land, then break off and float in a lake or ocean. The word “iceberg” originates from the Dutch “ijsberg”, which means ice mountain.

Walking Through VernonBy Marty kelly

Congratulations!

Driving Hands has been nominated for the Business Excellence Award of the year. Vic Spooner, Zoe Webber, Pam & James Wood are the owners of this incredible asset to our city. You see Driving Hands offers the security you need. They will pick up you and your car and make sure you arrive home safely in Vernon for just $20.00 (Lumby and Armstrong just slightly more).

You can call them on the spot or pre-arrange at 250-260-5353.

I for one treasure their availability and have supported them for the past 8 months and will continue to do so. New Year’s Eve they had ten cars and twenty-two drivers on the road saving lives! Call the Chamber of Commerce at 250-545-0771 and tell them you back Driving Hands. Let’s give these people the accolades they deserve!

I Love you Vernon, let’s live a little longer.Till next week .... Marty Kelly

Marty Kelly is a standup comic who has appeared on Just For Laughs and Open Mike with Mike Bullard. Email: [email protected]

Q: I’m considering a new pet, however my business travel takes me away from home two to four nights a week. Do you think I should get a cat? Or would two cats be a better choice? Any other ideas?

A: Get a fish. I’m only half kidding. Some kinds of lizards, snakes, or fish might be better options than a cat, but I understand that it’s not easy to cuddle a reptile or a fish. If you’re determined to get a cat, you should. Even better, two cats will keep one another company. Most shelters have cats that, in fact, have lived in pairs and the agency prefers to adopt them out this way. If you want only one pet, a slightly older cat makes the most sense, since you don’t want to leave a rambunctious kitty home alone too long.Actually, I don’t like the idea of leaving any cat alone for two to four days without some human companionship. Of course, that’s what pet sitters, dog walkers and litter box scoopers are for!

“HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA”: Where do monsters go to get rest and relaxation? Check the title again, since this animated comedy-fantasy finds Dracula (voice of Adam Sandler) operating the site. With his daughter (voice of Selena Gomez) celebrating her birthday, he’s happy to have such fearsome friends as Frankenstein and the Invisible Man (voices of Kevin James and David Spade) visiting ... but the joyous occasion is threatened when a human (voice of Andy Samberg) crashes the party. Steve Buscemi, Fran Drescher, Molly Shannon and Cee Lo Green also are in the voice cast. DVD extras: audio commentary by director Genndy Tartakovsky, producer

Michelle Murdocca and visual effects supervisor Daniel Kramer; deleted scenes; “Goodnight Mr. Fool” minimovie; music video. ***

“PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4”: Get out the video cameras to monitor evil again. Another family experiences supernatural terror in this installment of the cost-effective franchise, which moves forward in time from the initial tale but still retains familiar elements for those familiar with the preceding films. Original co-star Katie Featherston appears again as a linking factor between the stories, and Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (“Catfish”) return from the series’ third film as directors. ***

“DOWNTON ABBEY: SEASON 3”: Since the newest episodes of creator-writer Julian Fellowes’ internationally popular drama are airing currently on PBS’ “Masterpiece Classic,” there’s a bonus for those who buy this set upon release, as they’ll be able to see the remaining stories before they’re televised in the States. Oscar winner Shirley MacLaine is a highly notable cast addition as the mother of Lady Grantham (Elizabeth McGovern), and she wastes no time colliding with Lady Violet (Emmy winner Maggie Smith). Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Dan Stevens, Penelope Wilton and Joanne Froggatt are among other continuing cast members. ****

“THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY”: If your father is played by Bruce Willis, and he’s supposedly a worker drone, chances are good he’s keeping some big secrets. That’s what the character played by the screen’s soon-to-be Superman, Henry Cavill, finds out in this well-cast but too-familiar melodrama. During a vacation in Spain, the Wall Street employee played by Cavill is distraught when relatives are kidnapped, forcing him to turn to his father for any possible help. And Dad turns out to be much more resourceful than expected. Sigourney Weaver and Caroline Goodall (“Schindler’s List”) also appear. **

“SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS”: One psychopath usually is enough for any movie, and it’s actually a budding screenplay within the film that inspires the title of this offbeat action-comedy. Along with two friends (Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken), the aspiring writer (Colin Farrell) makes ends meet by kidnapping dogs ... but when the trio preys upon the pet of a mobster (Woody Harrelson), there may be a lot more to add to the script than was intended. Abbie Cornish, Harry Dean Stanton, Gabourey Sidibe and Olga Kurylenko (“Quantum of Solace”) also appear. DVD extras: six “making-of ” documentaries. ***

“AGATHA CHRISTIE’S POIROT & MARPLE FAN FAVORITES COLLECTION”: Anyone who even remotely knows literary mysteries should have no question which characters are referenced by the name of this newly gathered set. In 11 productions originally televised on the PBS “Masterpiece Mystery!” anthology, David Suchet - whom many contend is the screen’s best Hercule Poirot ever - has that role, while Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie split the part of Miss Jane Marple. Guests include Barbara Hershey and a pre-stardom Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty”). ***

FAMOUS WOMEN OF THE WORLD:

QUEEN VICTORIAQueen Victoria holds the title of the longest reigning monarch in the United Kingdom. She ruled from 1837-1901; for 63 years and 7 months. The current queen, Queen Elizabeth II, has been in power for almost 61 years.• BornonMay24,1819,atKensingtonPalaceinLondon,VictoriawastheonlychildofPrince

Edward (Duke of Kent) and Princess Victoria Mary Louisa of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Christened “Alexandrina Victoria” and called “Drina” by her family, the future queen’s formal name from birth was Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria of Kent.

• QueenVictoria’sfatherdiedwhenshewasonlyeightmonthsold.Her mother was very protective and she was taught at home. Her first language was German but she was taught to speak French and English when she was only three years old. (Later in life she also learned to speak Hindustani since she became ruler of India.) She studied history, geography and the Bible and was taught to play the piano and to paint.

• Victoria was the granddaughter of George III and inherited thethrone from her uncle William IV. Her father was one of four sons of George III but since none of his brothers had legitimate children in line for the throne, she became William IV’s successor. Victoria was elevated to the

throne at the young age of 18, with her coronation held a year later on June 28, 1838.

• WhenQueenVictoriawas21yearsoldshemarriedGermanPrinceAlbert,whowashercousin.In her first years as queen her main advisers were her Prime Minister Lord Melbourne and her uncle, King Leopold of Belgium.

•AftermarryingPrinceAlbert,hebecamehermajorconfidantandadvisor.Hehelpedherlearnto rule in the constitutional role where the monarchy had much influence but the powers were mostly with Parliament.

• TheBritishEmpirebecameverypowerfulduringQueenVictoria’sreign.Sheruledaboutonequarter of the world’s landmass and approximately one quarter of the world’s population; about 450 million people. The land under British rule was so large that many said “the sun never set on the British Empire.” It stretched around the globe from Canada to the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and India. India was considered the “Jewel in the Crown” and Queen Victoria was given the title of Empress of India in 1876.

• QueenVictoria’s long reign became known as theVictorian era: a time of great industrial,scientific, political, military, and trade advancement for Great Britain.

• The Queen and Prince Albert had 9 children and 42 grandchildren. The queen was called“Grandmother of Europe,” by managing the marriages of her children and grandchildren into other European royal families.
