Frozen!Life here in the North is no Disney movie!

By Teresa Parker

LIFE HERE IN THE NORTH is nothing like what’s por-trayed in the popular Disney movie. Our vocabulary up hereincludes words like Siberian Express, Polar Vortex, and ArcticAir Mass – words we seem to hear on a daily basis these days.

With the extreme cold we experienced last winter, there wasat least a lot of snow in comparison to this winter, with verylittle snow here on the Island and North shore area. The lackof snow combined with the extreme cold we are experiencinghas made a big difference in this winter’s woes.

It was June 2014 before the last of last year’s ice finally meltedoff Lake Superior and with the cooler than normal summer,the early freeze-up caught many by surprise. As the lakesstarted to freeze, ice blossomed across the Great Lakes, nearlydoubling in a week’s time. The cold on the Great Lakes is re-

portedly nearing a freezing record with 81% coverage re-ported as of February 23rd.

Lake Erie is leading the way at 98.4% ice covered and thick-ening daily. By comparison, it was 96.4% at this time lastyear. Lake Superior is now at 91.4% (last year it was 95.7%),Lake Huron is now 93.1% (vs. 97.86% in 2014) Lake Michi-gan is now 52.4% (93.3% last year) and Lake Ontario is now52.7% , having reached its peak coverage last year of 61.5 percent.

Because of warmer than normal winters in recent years past,shipping companies were able to run their ships longer intoeach season, but these past two winters have proven very dif-ficult. There are still a few ships trying to finish deliverieseven today and they are stuck in thick ice requiring CoastGuard assistance. One of such is the Arthur M. Anderson,which is trying to get to the port in Conneaut, Ohio. It’s

caught in ice five feet thick and, even with two Coast Guardcutters assisting, it has been a tough go for the last week. Theship’s crew is keeping a good sense of humour about thewhole thing; they have posted their destination on the marineAutomatic Identification System (for radio navigation) as“the Funny Farm”!

The ‘AMA’ has known tough times before in shipping history.She was the ship following 15 miles behind the EdmundFitzgerald that famous night on Lake Superior and was thelast in contact with her. Once they made it to the shelter ofWhitefish Bay, the Coast Guard asked the Captain if he wouldgo back out into the storm and look for survivors “Do youknow what you are asking of my crew, my ship and me?” heasked. “Yes” replied the Coast Guard officers, so they wentback out into the stormy seas, but found only debris and anoil slick.

Conditions indicate that it could be a slow start to the ship-ping season again this Spring. Last year, we received the assis-tance of the Arctic ice breaker the CCGS Pierre Radison,which is not on the Great Lakes this season.

Elsewhere, tourists are thronging to Niagara Falls to see oneof the eight wonders of the world freezing up, which makes agreat photo opportunity. It has been said that the falls willnever completely freeze because of the strong current beneath

the ice.

Closer to home with the lack of snow and the deep freezehappening, many folks not only on our beautiful island butthe North shore as well are experiencing distressful things likefrozen pipes, frozen lines to the septic tank and frozen weep-ing beds. Being a city kid from a long time ago when Snoopywas a puppy, I have a lot to learn about this type of system. SoI decided to contact one of our local professionals, Ed Karhiof Karhi Contracting who, may I add, has the patience of asaint to take the time to answer all my questions.

I will do my best to pass along what I have learned, so thatother readers can perhaps learn along with me. The wholesubject is quite complex and Ed joked “Maybe I should writea booklet for folks.” I think that would be a brilliant idea soplease, I hope you do, Mr. Karhi.

Here now is our conversation to the best of my ability to passit along to you:

Question: How often should a septic tank be pumpedout? Answer: Older style systems or those with large familiesshould be pumped every other year; new style septics with ahill on average every 3 to 5 years. He added that, for a reason-able additional fee, they can also suction out the weeping bedwhile doing the tank. If you are on clay based soil, it is best todo that now and again to keep the lines free.

Question: How can we prevent frozen pipes? Answer: Yourpipes, septic and weeping bed should always have a good coverof snow. Snow is an insulator, so make sure you have a goodsnow cover over these areas. Too often, when called out to aresidence they find the snow removed, and there are coveringslike decks, wood, pallets, boats, and even portable sheds overthe septic or lines, all of which keep the snow away and allowthe cold and frost to work their way down.

Ed also stresses that you should not walk, park or drive acrossany septic lines. If you experience frozen pipes, beds or septictanks they have the equipment to safely thaw the area, to dowhat needs to be done. Sometimes they can assess the problemover the phone so just call them, they can help. I was im-pressed with his vast knowledge and asked how long has KarhiContracting been in business? The answer is since 1960, mak-ing this their 55th year.

Question: Any more suggestions? Answer: Insulation is theanswer to winter problems. Styrofoam your outside walls andtank. Preventative maintenance will save your system from themany problems that could be avoided. Another importantissue we have come across is water softeners going into theseptic drain to the tank. Although salt is a good thing to helpagainst freezing, it is the volume of water going into your sep-tic tank on a regular basis that causes a lot of problems. Use asoftener if you must, but divert the discharged water into aculvert or another drain source.

Ed continues that all problems can be treated and profession-als have the experience and know- how to do the task quickly,safely and efficiently. They have what you need to help youwhen you need it – things like removing tree roots from weep-ing beds, or thawing a frozen septic tank.

On a last note here, it is also important to keep healthy bacte-ria in the septic tank. Some people take medications which candefeat the bacteria’s ability to process septic waste. So you see,there is so much information and so much more to belearned! Luckily, there is lots of expert advice available locallyand the internet abounds with excellent tips and advice onhow to treat your water systems right – in good weather and inbad!

“The first step is to monitor sitting times — once we startcounting, we’re more likely to change our behaviour,” said Dr.Alter. “Next is setting achievable goals and finding opportuni-ties to incorporate greater physical activity — and less timesitting — into your daily life. For example, at work, stand upor move for one to three minutes every half hour; and whenwatching television, stand or exercise during commercials.”

Dr. Alter’s work is supported by a career-investigator awardwith the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Ontario Provincial Of-fice; and a Research Chair in Cardiovascular Prevention andMetabolic Rehabilitation at Toronto Rehab, UHN.

Sitting for long periods increaseshealth risks, regardless of exerciseThe amount of time a person sits during the day is associ-ated with a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, anddeath, regardless of regular exercise, according to a reviewstudy published in the January Annals of Internal Medicine.

“More than one half of an average person’s day is spentbeing sedentary — sitting, watching television, or workingat a computer,” said Dr. David Alter, Senior Scientist,Toronto Rehab, University Health Network (UHN), and In-stitute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences. “Our study findsthat despite the health-enhancing benefits of physical activ-ity, this alone may not be enough to reduce the risk for dis-ease.”

The study reviewed statistical findings on sedentary behav-iour. The lead author is Avi Biswas, PhD candidate, TorontoRehab, UHN and the Institute of Health Policy, Manage-ment and Evaluation, University of Toronto, and the seniorauthor is Dr. Alter, who is also Associate Professor of Medi-cine, University of Toronto.

The authors found the negative effects of sitting time onhealth, however, are more pronounced among those whodo little or no exercise than among those who participate inhigher amounts of exercise.

“The findings suggest that the health risk of sitting toomuch is less pronounced when physical activity is in-creased,” said Biswas. “We need further research to betterunderstand how much physical activity is needed to offsetthe health risks associated with long sedentary time and op-timize our health.”

Future research will help determine what interventions, inaddition to physical activity, are effective against the healthrisk of sedentary time.

“Avoiding sedentary time and getting regular exercise areboth important for improving your health and survival,”said Dr. Alter. “It is not good enough to exercise for 30 min-utes a day and be sedentary for 23 and half hours.”

In the interim, Dr. Alter underlines strategies people canuse to reduce sitting time. The target is to decrease seden-tary time by two to three hours in a 12-hour day.

Apple Images to Become More Racially DiverseLOVERS OF EMOJIS, the cute graphics that punctuate online writing and texts, willsoon be able to pick from different skin tones on Apple devices.

Apple Inc. has incorporated more diverse emojis into the latest update to its mobileoperating system. The iPhone and iPad maker has not said when the update will beavailable for all users.

Currently almost all the emojis depicting people or body parts, such as a fist or bicep,look white. More cartoon-like faces that are smiling, crying, winking or suggestive ofother emotions come in a shade of yellow reminiscent of “The Simpsons” characters.

An Apple spokeswoman said Tuesday that the company is working with the UnicodeConsortium, the non-profit organization that sets the standards for the pictograms,“to update the stan-dard so that it bet-ter representsdiversity for all ofus.”

Things sure have changed!Thanks to Ted Lumley for sharing a copy of the Teacher’s Con-tract for the 1923 School Term:

This is an agreement between Miss ___________________,teacher and the Board of Education of the_________________School, whereby Miss _____________ agrees to teach in the _________________School for a pe-riod of eight months, beginning September 1,1923. TheBoard of Education agrees to pay Miss _________________the sum of $75 per month.

Miss _________________ agrees:

Not to get married. This contract becomes null and void im-mediately if the teacher marries.

Not to keep company with men.

To be at home between the hours of 8 pm and 6 am unless inattendance at school functions.

Not to loiter in downtown ice-cream stores.

Not to leave town at any time without the permission of theChairman of the Board of Trustees.

Not to smoke cigarettes. This contract becomes null and voidimmediately if the teacher is found smoking.

Not to drink beer, wine or whiskey. This contract becomesnull and void immediately if the teacher is found drinkingbeer, wine or whiskey.

Not to ride in a carriage or automobile with any man excepther brother or father.

Not to dress in bright colors.

Not to dye her hair.

To wear at least two petticoats.

B. To scrub the classroom floor with hot water and soap atleast once weekly.

C. To clean the blackboard at least once daily.

D. To start the fire at 7:00 am so the room will be warm at 8am when the children arrive.

It certainly shows that things have indeed changed greatlysince 1923. At least the teacher could still live it up in hersummer off … but she’d probably have to do so in anothertown. Imagine the scandal of being found loitering in an icecream shop! Such shocking behaviour!

Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, February 18, 2015

The Nova Scotia RCMP are asking for the public’s assistancein apprehending Old Man Winter.

Old Man Winter is wanted in relation to a series of storms inNova Scotia over the past two weeks, leaving behind massiveamounts of snow across the province.

Old Man Winter hails from the north, moves quickly anddrifts around. Last winter, he often made appearances onWednesdays,however thisyear, he hasbeen muchmore unpre-dictable.

The suspectwas last seenSunday, Febru-ary 15th, afterdumping up to60 cmsthroughout theprovince. Hisknown associ-ates includeShubenacadieSam, JackFrost, MotherNature andFrosty the Snowman.

“We’ve already been in contact with several meteorologists tohelp us narrow down his whereabouts,” said Cpl. GregChurch, Nova Scotia RCMP. “We know that OLD MANWINTER is calm, cool and collected, but may crack underhigh pressure.”

Cpl. Church added “He may be armed with ice pellets so weare asking citizens to not approach him. The best way to pro-tect yourself is with salt, sand or a snow blower.”

Since the start of 2015, Old Man Winter has been responsiblefor numerous highway closures, snow days, excessive shovel-ing and visits to the chiropractor.

The RCMP appreciate any assistance citizens can provide usin helping locate and apprehend the suspect in advance ofThursday’s impending snow.
