  1. Ice warnings should be posted, survivor says

    Woman says she didn’t know about weakness near plant

    “Something has to be done,” said Neff, who has since learned that thin ice near the outflow pipe, which pumps out warmer water from the sewage treatment plant on Memorial Drive, is an annual winter safety hazard.

     

    Sign of the times, blame others. If you don't know the thinkness of the ice and the conditons DO not venture out on the ice.

  2. Oh this thread could go on and on.. The please pay for my kid to attend ??? , support this and pay that etc.. drives me crazy

     

    Couple things..

     

    Never give to the corporate world they would like you to donate a buck with your timmies, groceries, Wal-Mart's etc. in the name of ??????

     

    I am I being heartless.. nope. Cause they use your money to support their promotions. Now if they match 1 for 1 ok but how many do this most of the time you see the sign.. Wal-Mart gave $$$$ to charities (pity most was from you). Yes even timbits, great idea but marketing too.

     

    At the grocery store. Getting some charity asking please donate to Madd Canada. (oops kid was hired by a company to stand there and ask for donations, oops the company that hired him took some their cut) actual money that went to the charity... :(

     

    So now we have this, We go too the heart and stroke charity.. How many millions in the bank yet we hear oh please give we need your money.. No we have no plans to spend the money.. Wait lets give our directors a large raise and bonus for making the charity numbers.

     

    My daughter attended a daycare that had subsidised slots. We do not get the subsidy. Then we are asked to start selling the cookies, cakes, etc.. excuse me we are paying full cost for a service, try going to your mechanic and saying please fix my car then he tells you sure, but can you sell these cookies while I work on it.

     

    Everyone tries to get their hand in my pocket for something.. I have no issues giving a Hand-up, not a hand out.

     

    Charities have become a business of themselves not the greater good. Pan handling should be banned.

     

    Salvation army, Red cross, Doctors without boarders these are charities something with a goal and outcome. Give direct not when someone ask you on the street to give.

     

    They say charity starts at home, so why ask me for money when you have not checked your own home first.

  3. Those Muskie should eat up a few dinky perch ...you can't always catch Jumbo's but if you only keep Jumbo's all the time they will disappear... big perch spawn big perch dinky perch make for dinky perch ..if Lady Simcoe had a slot say no bigger then 12" you would see many big trophys come outa that lake ..hate to say it but way to many Jumbo's have taken there toll on that lake ..

     

     

    Agree and disagree, too many dinks also don't allow the food comsuption to get bigger. Once the main fishing season kicks off perch take a back seat most of the time.

     

    Wonder if a perch closed season would make a difference ?

  4. On reading the Ontario outdoors, I get the impression that Ontario Out doors may have owned the naming rights for the "Spring Fishing" part so as they say they did not want to play so took there ball and went home

     

    I would say because Ontario Outdoors pulled out of the organization there was no one ready to fill the gap. This has caused tones of confusion. There is too much money involved to cancell it they would rather it slug along even if it only makes a 1$ profit

     

    I will be going to both, more cause it gets me out and its very close to where I live :).

     

    If your looking for the super deals they just don't happen any more but you get to ask the experts a few questions, see lots of tackle and tire out the kids :D

     

    Now about free tickets ?? :)

  5. Mine is named after a cartoon.

     

    Lexington (called 'Lex' for short) is the smallest gargoyle in the Manhattan Clan. He became the clan's unofficial techie, taking leadership whenever technical obstacles needed to be overcome.

     

    Add another 'X' for originality and thats me..
