Oral Question Period
2:30 p.m.
Hamilton East
Sheila Copps Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, this is an unfortunate situation, and the one to blame for the welfare cuts in Quebec is not the Government of Canada but the Bouchard government.
Oral Question Period
2:30 p.m.
Chuck Strahl Fraser Valley East, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadians should and do know that on the eve of the election this government is creating last minute jobs. Unfortunately for Canadians, these jobs are in appointments to the Senate, the Immigration and Refugee Board, agricultural boards, the IDRC, the National Research Council, the Cape Breton Development Corporation and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. You name it, if there is a commission the government has appointed somebody to it.
Meanwhile 1.4 million Canadians are out on the street looking for work with the highest level of unemployment since the 1930s.
When will the Prime Minister drop the Liberal agenda and come down to the people's agenda of jobs for ordinary Canadians, not just highly placed Liberal pals?
Oral Question Period
2:30 p.m.
Hamilton East
Sheila Copps Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, I find it slightly hypocritical on the part of the Reform Party-
Oral Question Period
2:30 p.m.
The Speaker
I encourage all hon. members to be very judicious in their choice of words.
Oral Question Period
2:30 p.m.
Sheila Copps Hamilton East, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Reform Party is publicly decrying the government for making investments in very important job creation issues. However, just before question period the member for Edmonton Southwest slipped me a note asking if he could get a $40,000 government grant for someone in his constituency.
Oral Question Period
2:30 p.m.
Chuck Strahl Fraser Valley East, BC
Mr. Speaker, I will let the member from Edmonton deal with this issue of funding for a centre for the handicapped. She can deal with that herself. It is interesting; once a rat packer, always a rat packer.
Oral Question Period
2:30 p.m.
Ian McClelland Edmonton Southwest, AB
Sheila, that was a shitty thing to do and confirms you are one bitch.
Oral Question Period
2:30 p.m.
Chuck Strahl Fraser Valley East, BC
Day after day the papers are revealing more about the avalanche of pre-election goodies being poured out by Liberals for Liberals but they are being paid for by the taxpayers. The taxpayers would like to know the cost of these new measures.
People are interested in the new armoury which the Prime Minister announced last week for his riding. But he has neglected to tell us exactly how much it will cost or how many votes he expects to get for it.
What is the total amount the Liberal government is spending in the Prime Minister's riding just before the election? How much pork is enough pork?
Oral Question Period
April 22nd, 1997 / 2:30 p.m.
New Brunswick
Douglas Young Minister of National Defence and Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, with respect to the hon. member's question concerning the armoury in Shawinigan, it is obvious he has not paid much attention to how that project has been set up.
The announcement we made last week with respect to that armoury calls for a private-public partnership where the armoury would be built as a facility for the reserves, for the militia. It would also be privately owned. It could serve for many other purposes. It
could be part of a larger complex. It could be an existing building or a new building.
The hon. member should look more closely at exactly what the government has proposed. He should understand that we are moving to meet what I thought his party supported. When I made the report to the government with respect to the future of the Canadian forces we said we were moving the reserves and the militia from 20,000 or 22,000 to about 30,000. Is the hon. member against the increase in the number of people who are going to be functioning in the Canadian forces as part of the militia and the reserves or is he not?
Oral Question Period
2:30 p.m.
Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski—Témiscouata, QC
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
The federalist propaganda is spreading throughout the federal government. The Department of Foreign Affairs is taking part in this despicable process by tying financial support for Quebec artists performing abroad to the promotion of national unity.
Will the heritage minister do like Quebec's Minister of Culture and Communications and call to order her colleague from foreign affairs? Will she tell him to stop using this unacceptable criterion and to provide support to artists strictly on the basis of the artistic merit of their projects?
Oral Question Period
2:35 p.m.
Hamilton East
Sheila Copps Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, I made it clear to the Quebec Minister of Culture that the government does not make political decisions regarding artistic issues.
I find it confusing that the same people who accuse us of interfering with cultural decisions asked us last week to overrule a decision made by Telefilm. If we follow the principle of non interference, then we have to do it consistently, including the fact that Telefilm made its decision on the basis of artistic criteria, which has nothing to do with politics.
Oral Question Period
2:35 p.m.
Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski—Témiscouata, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is truly regrettable that the heritage minister does not know the artistic stature of Mr. Falardeau, whose project was turned down because it dealt with the Patriotes of 1837 and because Mr. Falardeau is a committed sovereignist.
It comes as no surprise that the heritage minister would endorse the politicization of the Department of Foreign Affairs' grants process.
My question to the heritage minister is: Why does her Liberal government refuse to recognize and respect Quebec's culture, and why is it in fact incapable of doing so?
Oral Question Period
2:35 p.m.
Hamilton East
Sheila Copps Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Canadian Heritage
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member claims that the decision is based on politics, when in fact we said clearly that any decision made by Telefilm to give a grant for any project should be made independently. Now, the separatists are asking us to interfere.
If they want us to respect the cultural institutions' autonomy, as we do, then they should not ask us to overrule a decision which was made strictly on the basis of artistic criteria, not political ones.
Oral Question Period
2:35 p.m.
Randy White Fraser Valley West, BC
Mr. Speaker, you see, it is election time again and enumeration has taken place in my riding, in particular at Matsqui prison.
A judge said prisoners should have the right to vote because "preventing prisoners serving more than two years from voting is too sweeping an infringement". This government must be really hard up for votes these days.
Why did the justice minister not ask for a stay of the judge's decision until the appeal was decided on so that prisoners would be unable to vote in this election?
Oral Question Period
2:35 p.m.
Prince Albert—Churchill River
Gordon Kirkby Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question. I will take the question under advisement and provide an answer as soon as possible.

Uli Jon Roth -- Whitemarsh, MD -- February 7th, 2013
Full Review
I went to see Uli Jon Roth the other night up in Whitemarsh
(My initial setlist was a bit off in the above review, but after some updates the below is more accurate). about 100 people showed up, maybe a little less. I expected a way bigger turnout based on the Schenker show a few months ago.
This tour was billed as 2 hrs of old ass Scorpions songs (and I assumed Hendrix stuff too as is his want). Gojira was the same night in my area, but I figured Gojira would be back and Uli may die before he comes around again AND when else are you going to hear these Scorpions songs LIVE again!?
Uli sounded fantastic and played straight from his heart. Eyes closed for the most part, rarely if ever looking down. Mostly his gaze was over the crowd at the dozens of adoring fans, mesmerized by the living legend. Good lord that guy plays beautifully.
I was about 10 ft from Uli for the most part, and the vocals when he sang sounded horrible. The Faux Russell Allen that he had singing sounded OK, but a bit muddled. At least up front. The guitars, however, sounded great- so I didn't really mind. He had a young 16 yr old British scene-looking kid (ewok sideswept bangs, v neck shirt, skinny jeans, argh), who looks like a tool but played great- so I can't complain too much. I am curious as to where that kid is going in the future! On stage with Uli, playing toe to toe... (he had lead vox and guitar on Purple Haz)... wow.
Highlights for me were '..Charon' and 'Pictured Life.' So great hearing these old songs. HOWEVER I think there is still some ambiguity cause there were a couple songs I had to look up and maybe one more that I thought may have been an extended solo/intro/outro. SORRY.
Uli sounded much better standing in the back of the venue, a lot clearer vocals, but the time I walked to the back, he had shredded past what I assume was his bedtime, and then *I* was the one who had to take a seat.
TLDR; If you like old Scorpions or great guitarists, you NEED to see this show

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31, 2003 -- Overseas deployments are always tough on families. Naturally, the initial focus falls upon the emotional cost of separation. But, for Guardsmen and reservists who own small businesses, the cost involved in a deployment takes on a whole new meaning.
For the past two years, the U.S. Small Business Administration's Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster Loan program has provided loans to eligible small businesses to cover operating costs that can't be met after a key employee is called to active duty in the reserves or National Guard.
Often the "key employee" is the business owner, whose family left behind depends on the income generated from the company.
When Rick Parsons, an officer with the 401st Civil Affairs Battalion from Churchville, N.Y., deployed last year to Afghanistan, his veterinary practice took a major hit. Parsons and his wife, Marla, ran the hospital, with Parsons serving as its only veterinarian responsible for performing all surgeries, exams and emergency treatments at the hospital.
"During the year prior to Rick's deployment, we tried to hire a full-time vet," said Marla.
When Parson received his deployment orders, the search became even tougher. "People were hesitant to work as the sole vet in a small practice," she said. Finding a full-time vet was next to impossible. As a result, the Parsons hired part-time veterinarians, but the business ultimately suffered.
When Parsons realized that he could be on active duty for more than a year, he applied for assistance through the Small Business Administration's loan program.
"Many small businesses have had to cope with the loss of know-how, and have been hurt financially by the absence of a key employee during the recent call-ups," said Small Business Administration administrator Hector V. Barreto.
"This loan program has helped many businesses survive, and the SBA will continue to support these dedicated men and women who have made such a great sacrifice in the course of serving their country."
Small businesses like the Churchville Veterinary Hospital may apply for Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $1.5 million if they have been financially affected by the loss of an essential employee. These working capital loans may be used to pay operating expenses that otherwise could have been covered if the reservist or Guardsman hadn't been called to active duty. The loans cannot be used to refinance debt or expand the business, and the Small Business Administration determines the amount of economic injury.
The filing period for the loans ends 90 days after the date the business owner or key employee is discharged from active duty. Now that Parsons has returned home from active duty, his wife said their business is still in a crunch because, as with any loan, the money has to be paid back.
To pay back the loan, the Parsons hired a full-time veterinarian to run their practice while Parsons took a job at a local university.
But Marla Parsons said the loan program provided some vital financial assistance when she and her husband needed it. "We probably would have lost the practice if (the SBA) hadn't lent us the money," she said.
(Staff Sgt. Michelle Thomas is assigned to the Florida Air National Guard.)

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
A: The craziest thing I have ever done is cliff jumping at Lucky Peak. Lucky Peak Lake is about 30 minutes outside of Boise and my friends go all the time. One time, I decided to go along with them and we climbed the rocks just below the highway bridge. I am petrified of heights... but once you climb up, the only way down is to jump. I'm not exactly sure how high the drop was but I'd guess somewhere between 30 and 40 feet. I just wanted to get down and be done with it so I jumped from the ledge screaming all the way until I plunged into the icy water. I am glad I did it, but once was enough.
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: You CANNOT be a part of the Wickland family unless you know how to make my Mom's spaghetti and those Norwegian goodies we have at Christmas. My great-grandmother was an immigrant to this country as a 6 year-old in 1906 from Norway-hence the Norwegian connection. The connection to spaghetti though is anybody's guess. I just know we've never gone camping without at least one batch made sometime on the trip.
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: If I had 10 Million dollars, I would pay for college and medical school- becoming a doctor isn't easy on the wallet. Then, I would use some of the money to build a charity for Idaho teens against suicide. With the rest, I would buy a ridiculously flashy mini cooper...wouldn't you?
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: I would like to meet Jessica Simpson because she is successful AND short. This means there is hope for the rest of us vertically challenged girls.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: I was born at HOME, with my older siblings, my Dad, my grandmother, and three midwives in attendance.

Skip to comments.Newspaper circulation down. Sanfrancisco Chronicle down 17%
Posted on 11/08/2005 6:02:22 PM PST by jim9215
Most newspaper stocks were down following the latest release Monday of circulation data from the Audit Bureau of Circulation. The trade group said average weekday circulation at U.S. newspapers fell 2.6% for the six-month period ended Sept. 30. The news is the latest step in a grim march for newspapers, as increased Internet readership and other changing reader habits erode the subscriber base.
(Excerpt) Read more at marketwatch.com ...
Only 17%? We're just not getting the word out like we should.
Everybody just reads online now. I'm not sure it's all ideological.
I just cancelled my subscription to the Boston Herald. I no longer have any use for it. All my news is obtained online and besides, the Herald has bascially turned into a gossip rag like those supermarket tabloids. There is more news about celebrities than there is on actual news.
Well, they could be doing what they are doing with my parents. Given them a free copy each day (my parents didn't ask for them. But all of a sudden, BAM, we are getting the San Francisco Chronicle).
My "conservative" paper, the Dallas Morning News, outed itself by opposing prop. 2, the amendment protecting normal marriage.
The SF Chronic will go back up when the weather cools and the meth- heads need more bedding.
Their advertising is sold on numbers of circulation. I'm surprised everyone doesn't get one. I'd demand they quit sending it. They've tried to give us the LA Times free for a few months. I said, "No way do I want to propaganda in my home!"
SF is arguably the most liberal city in California. This is a Victory!
Also, who needs the hassle of all the extra paper around the house? Newspapers are going online, but they haven't figured out a good profit method, yet. Many small newspapers were put out of business by all ad papers like the Greensheet and Wooden Nickel, which killed their advertising base. People don't go to online newspaper sites to read their ads, they search Google or EBay, and most people will NOT pay for online content, as similar content can be found for free.
You're absolutely right. It did my heart good to see that. I was just kidding.
Well yea I know...
Imagine the Chronicle in such a bind...Woo Hoo!
What is disappointing, is that I wouldn't mind at all getting a good paper. As papers go, Pravda on the Pacific is a well laid out newpaper. I marvel at how they can put out a new version of that volume each and every day.
It goes beyond the editorial sections. You can't read an article on page one that doesn't superimpose the gut biases of the reporter over the facts. "In the news today... 'and this means, and it exposes, and it proves...'" Nah, these folks are so far gone they don't even know what it is that they do.
If you confront them they deny it. If you explain what you mean, they can't. I've called in and complained, and the person said, "Well, you've got a point." Yes I (we) do.
No sale.
Yes, whoo hoo! LOL
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
Death by Capitalism, obviously people are more informed these days and demand a better product from the media.
Funny thing, the new media seems to be doing quite well. :P
This is good news for the trees and anyone looking for honest reporting. Thank God for the internet.
Probably not but I still subscribe to four conservative magazines and various technical journals. I quit reading the local newspaper many years ago after I subscribed to the the National Review and later the American Spectator. I really just lost interest in the paper and I was ticked off with it anyway.
"Sanfrancisco Chronicle down 17%"
That is some good news.
I think you meant
and not
No loss!

The U.S. Court of Delaware said that it would put the patent battle between Apple and Nokia on hold till 2012.
A federal judge signed an order earlier this month delaying litigation in a lawsuits in which Nokia claims that Apple is infringing on seven Nokia patents in various products, the order also affects Apple counterclaims alleging Nokia of infringing nine of its patents, reports Associated Press news-agency.
As a result of the order, the legal struggle between the two companies are likely to either last for much longer than two years, or the two makers of consumer electronics end up with a cross-licensing agreement.
Nokia is seeking payment of up to €1 billion ($1.337 billion), analysts say, notes Reuters news-agency.

"And mankind and beasts and livestock are likewise of varying colors. Only those of His servants with knowledge have fear of God . . . ." (Qur'an 35: 28)
Evolution Hoax
The Perfect Design in the Universe Is Not by Chance
God Is The Creator Of All Things In Nature
The pur of a bengal tiger
Squirrels, rabbits, zebras, kangaroos, parrots, gazelles, peacocks, butterflies, whales, dolphins, giraffes, tigers, turtles, camels, starfish, swans—all these living things have a unique system most appropriate to meet their several needs. Some have sharp eyes and powerful muscles; others are born with poison fangs or attractive plumage. So, who gave them the information they needed to prepare themselves for an environment they have never yet seen? How does a newborn kitten know that it needs lungs to be able to utilize the oxygen in the atmosphere, or that a fish anticipate that it will need gills to use the oxygen dissolved in the water it swims in? How can birds realize they need light-weight skeletons in order to fly; that sea-going penguins need feathers coated in oil so as not to absorb water? That eagles need sharp eyes to see their prey from thousands of meters above the ground? That a woodpecker needs a special suspension system to protect its head from serious concussion?
We could extend these examples over many pages, but for all of them pose one question: Who recorded the information and corresponding design systems in the genes of all living things?
Or can we suppose that the ancestors of these living things gained experience over the course of their lives and then, taking succeeding generations into consideration, altered their own genes and evolved such a variety of highly-specialized organs? Did unconscious atoms and blind chance create living things as such miracles of design? Certainly not: It is God, the Lord of the Worlds, Who created living things with their marvelous systems, together with the favorable conditions that allow every living thing in the universe to grow and thrive.
Along with determining the right way to swim, these creatures also use sound waves for communication. Two whales, kilometers apart, can understand each other, using sound.
It's still not completely understood how these animals produce the sounds to communicate and find their way. But the structure of a dolphin's head is known to have an amazing feature: the animal's skull is insulated against sound so as to protect its brain from continuous and intense sound bombardment.
Could all these amazing qualities possessed by sea mammals have come into being through mutation and natural selection—the only two mechanisms that the theory of evolution admits? What mutation could install the sonar system in the dolphin's body and insulate its head to protect it from the intense bursts of sound? Surely such a design could not possibly be the work of chance events or unconscious processes. All this is the work of Almighty God.
Like other animals, honeybees also behave in a way particular to their own species. This behavior is full of dead ends for evolutionists, who try to explain—for example—that tens of thousands of bees live together in the same hive and share a perfect communication system, all by "instinct." But in his The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin himself asks a question that stresses the contradiction that his theory meets, in trying to explain the concept of instinct:
... [C]an instincts be acquired and modified through natural selection? What shall we say to so marvelous an instinct as that which leads the bee to make cells, which have practically anticipated the discoveries of profound mathematicians?18
Both wings of a butterfly have the same color, tone, and design in the same places; each is a mirror image of the other. The theory of evolution, claiming that everything came to be by chance, is at a loss to explain the art, color variation, variety and symmetry in nature as demonstrated in the wings of a butterfly. Charles Darwin admits the contradiction that he fell into:
I value the cases of . . . brilliant female butterflies, solely as showing that one sex may be made brilliant without any necessary transference of beauty to the other sex, for in these cases, I cannot suppose that beauty in the other sex was checked by selection.19
Professor Gary E. Parker was formerly an evolutionist. But like many other scientists, on the basis of research he did into paleontology and biology, he came to the conclusion that the theory of evolution was invalid. Here, he reveals his true thoughts about the variety of species:
… What spectacular variety we see among living things, both variation within kind and the stupendous number of different kinds. Most of us are awed by the spectacular variation in color, size, form, features, and function we see both within and among the incredible diversity of living things that grace our planet. Why so much variation?20
While hunting in the dry grass of the savanna, a tiger can hardly be seen because it blends in with its surroundings. In the same way, it is very difficult to make out a cheetah in dappled shade of high grass. God created all these animals with coats of fur appropriate to their environment.
The self-sacrifice that animals demonstrate is one of the main problems that Darwinism encounters. Darwinism claims that nature is a merciless struggle in which the strong crush the weak, yet animals display many kinds of behavior that disproves this claim. Some animals feed each other and protect each other from danger; they clean and groom one another and prepare nests for their young. Sometimes they will even sacrifice their lives for one another. (A honeybee, for example, will sting an intruder to defend her hive, even though the act of stinging effectively disembowels the bee and results in her death.) For evolutionists, this is a major problem. As Darwin says,
So wonderful an instinct as that of the hive-bee making its cells will probably have occurred to many readers, as a difficulty sufficient to overthrow my whole theory.21
One evolutionist publication describes the trouble caused by such instances of self-sacrifice:
The problem is why living things help one another. According to Darwin's theory, every creature is engaged in a struggle to reproduce and continue its own existence. Since helping another would decrease the possibility of that creature's well-being, evolution would have to eliminate this behavior over a long period. However, it has been observed that creatures can sacrifice themselves.22
Darwin himself described the anxiety he experienced upon seeing the perfection in animals that invalidated his theory:
I remember well the time when the thought of the [amazingly complex structure of the] eye made me cold all over, but I have got over this stage of complaint... and now, trifling particulars of structure often make me very uncomfortable. The sight of a feather in a peacock's tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick! 23

Mirena offers you the flexibility to leave your family planning options open. It lasts for up to 5 years, but the timeframe is up to you. Should you decide to try to get pregnant, Mirena can be removed at any time by your healthcare provider.
Expanding your family after Mirena
If you decide you want to try to have another child, you can have Mirena removed by your healthcare provider. There's no waiting period for you to go through, so you can try to become pregnant right away. In fact, approximately 8 out of 10 women succeed at becoming pregnant within a year of having Mirena removed.
Remove or replace.
It's your choice.
If you're still undecided about adding to your family after 5 years, you can choose to have another Mirena placed.
Just be sure to:
• Let your healthcare provider know in advance. That way, he or she can remove your current Mirena and replace it with a new one at the same visit (removal, like placement, typically takes just a few minutes)
• Schedule a follow-up visit 4 to 6 weeks after your new Mirena is placed to check that it's in the right position
Mirena (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) is a hormone-releasing system placed in your uterus to prevent pregnancy for as long as you want for up to 5 years. Mirena also treats heavy periods in women who choose intrauterine contraception.Important Safety Information
Only you and your healthcare provider can decide if Mirena is right for you. Mirena is recommended for women who have had a child.
- Don't use Mirena if you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers. Less than 1% of users get a serious infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. If you have persistent pelvic or abdominal pain, see your healthcare provider.
- Mirena may attach to or go through the wall of the uterus and cause other problems. If Mirena comes out, use back-up birth control and call your healthcare provider.
- Although uncommon, pregnancy while using Mirena can be life threatening and may result in loss of pregnancy or fertility.
- Ovarian cysts may occur but usually disappear.
- Bleeding and spotting may increase in the first 3 to 6 months and remain irregular. Periods over time usually become shorter, lighter or may stop.
Mirena does not protect against HIV or STDs.
Available by prescription only.
For important risk and use information about Mirena, please see the Full Prescribing Information.
Skyla (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) is a hormone-releasing IUD that prevents pregnancy for up to 3 years.Important Safety Information
- If you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily, or have certain cancers, don't use Skyla. Less than 1% of users get a serious pelvic infection called PID.
- If you have persistent pelvic or stomach pain or if Skyla comes out, tell your doctor. If Skyla comes out, use back-up birth control. Skyla may attach to or go through the uterus and cause other problems.
- Pregnancy while using Skyla is uncommon but can be life threatening and may result in loss of pregnancy or fertility. Ovarian cysts may occur but usually disappear.
- Bleeding and spotting may increase in the first 3 to 6 months and remain irregular. Periods over time usually become shorter, lighter, or may stop.
Skyla does not protect against HIV or STDs.
Only you and your healthcare provider can decide if Skyla is right for you. Skyla is available by prescription only.
For important risk and use information about Skyla, please see the Full Prescribing Information.
Essure® is permanent birth control that works with your body to create a natural barrier against pregnancy.Important Safety Information
Essure is not right for you if you are uncertain about ending your fertility, can have only one insert placed, suspect you are pregnant or have been pregnant within the past 6 weeks, have had your tubes tied, have an active or recent pelvic infection, or have a known allergy to contrast dye.
Tell your doctor if you are taking immunosuppressants or think you may have a nickel allergy.
WARNING: You must continue to use another form of birth control until you have your Essure Confirmation Test (3 months after the procedure) and your doctor tells you that you can rely on Essure for birth control. For some women, it can take longer than three months for Essure to be effective, requiring a repeat confirmation test at 6 months. Talk to your doctor about which method of birth control you should use during this period. Women using an intrauterine device need to switch to another method. If you rely on Essure for birth control before receiving confirmation from your doctor, you are at risk of getting pregnant.
WARNING: Be sure you are done having children before you undergo the Essure procedure. Essure is a permanent method of birth control.
During the procedure: In clinical trials some women experienced mild to moderate pain (9.3%). Your doctor may be unable to place one or both Essure® inserts correctly. In rare cases, part of an Essure insert may break off or it may puncture the fallopian tube requiring surgery to repair. If breakage occurs, your doctor may remove the piece or let it leave your body during your period. Your doctor may recommend a local anesthetic. Ask your doctor about the risks associated with this type of anesthesia.
Immediately following the procedure: In clinical trials some women experienced mild to moderate pain (12.9%) and/or cramping (29.6%), vaginal bleeding (6.8%), and pelvic or back discomfort for a few days. Some women experienced nausea and/or vomiting (10.8%) or fainting. You should arrange to have someone take you home after the procedure. In rare instances, an Essure insert may be expelled from the body.
During the Essure Confirmation Test: You will be exposed to very low levels of radiation, as with most x-rays. In rare instances, women may experience spotting and/or infection.
Long-term Risks: There are reports of chronic pelvic pain in women possibly related to Essure. An Essure insert may migrate into the lower abdomen and pelvis and may require surgery for removal. No birth control method is 100% effective. Women who have Essure are more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus) if they get pregnant. This can be life-threatening. The Essure insert is made of materials that include a nickel-titanium alloy. Patients who are allergic to nickel may have an allergic reaction to the inserts. Symptoms include rash, itching and hives.
The safety and effectiveness of Essure has not been established in women under 21 or over 45 years old.
Essure does not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.
Talk to your doctor about Essure and whether it is right for you.
You can also report any adverse events or product technical complaints involving the Essure system immediately by calling 877-ESSURE1 (877-377-8731).

Legacy of Legends Day 2Posted Tuesday, February 28, 2012, at 2:01 PM
Reata's 2nd day with her colt. It's amazing how this colt is not broke huh? And yet, she's going to ride him, and get so much more done this, his 2nd day, than many do in years. Literally.
Lots of trust being built here. That rope is around the hind quarters, and he's looking to her for reassurance. And she's giving it. I've said so many times, that I have often equated child raising and horse relationships similarly. Be there for them, and they will be there for you. This colt does NOT like that rope around him, but again, these are great things to learn. Imagine being out in the desert, or where ever, and getting caught up in barbed wire. If your horse doesn't trust you, and has never experienced uncertainty, truly bad things can happen. I've been there, and been thankful to have a horse with a clear enough head to not cut the legs right off, ... hardly came out with a scratch.
Here, she is putting the lead rope in Reuben's mouth.
(After this clinic, she bought him, and that's his name)
from left to right
Zach Zumestein, auctioneer, Mary Catherine Brannaman, bidding on said horse, Reata beaming at Mom, cuz us girls always want another horse, Buck, not going to say what he's probably thinking
He's going to have a bit, so, why put a hard metal object in right off? How about a nice soft cotton rope, to start with?
So, now he has a gentle snaffle bit in. And she's giving him some gentle lessons on 'giving to the bit' He doesn't know, but he can learn it quickly, if it's not rammed down his throat the first time.
She moves the stirrup around with her hand. It's gonna move later, so why not feel it now, and not be frightened? Patting him all over his butt, so later, when she casually reaches back to pat him, he doesn't freak and toss her off.
Remember, this is the first time with a bit, so she's just letting him 'carry' it, and note the loose flopping reins? She is letting him learn to "move out" So many people take the movement out of a horse, without meaning to, but this is so much easier on them. It takes lots of confidence in your ability, and Reata has that.
I never said they don't buck! He is a colt, afterall, and he's learning. But, another sign of confidence in Reata is she just leans forward and pets him, saying "It's OK"
Does he look broke yet?
I don't know Peter & Megan Campbell, so I'm not going to put words into their mouths, but here is her 2nd day, with her colt.
And Wade and Martin Blacks 2nd Day
you'll see lots of similarities in each of the 3 demonstrations.
One thing that you see with all 3, is that they give the reassurance. And the horse knows it.
This horse that Buck is working with, is the horse that the young girl jumps. Obviously he jumps WONDERFULLY. Somewhere along the line (years ago), he became out of control dangerously scared of ribbons. You know, when a horse wins a ribbon, it's cool to hook it on the bridle. BUT something happened sometime, that this horse couldn't tolerate that. AND it was never dealt with. Buck detected it the first day, and dealt with it the 2nd day. It was actually somewhat frightening how this was. Buck began afoot, and went to his saddle horse, due to the danger. That horse actually knocked him down, and wasn't going to see reason right away.
See that horses eyes PINNED to the flag in Buck's hand?
See the flag on the ground? It is NOT at this time in Buck's hand, and the horse is veering away from it, towards Buck. I'm sure you can tell, but that's a big horse too. An analogy might be, if a teenager is allowed to have his way ...for whatever reason, it doesn't matter why he does a thing, if he does it and hurts someone. Sorry won't help, if this horse was to kill someone.
In this photo, the grulla horse is going to attempt going UNDER Buck's horse. It doesn't get it accomplished, but how would a human defend against that? See Buck's horse bracing against it? That is trust in Buck too.
The sad thing is, is that this horse is terrified. He needed help a long long time ago, before this fear became so consuming. It is NOT his fault. He was NOT born this way. He was allowed to build on it, and it was easier to just ignore it and make sure no ribbon was ever around. Life doesn't work that way, now does it? Buck stuck with it, and made the 'wrong thing difficult ...and eventually, the right thing easy"
This was an extremely dangerous demonstration that we didn't plan on. Avoiding ribbons isn't practical. Plastic bags, and countless other things are out there. Sadly, this horse no doubt goes back and winds up like before. He wasn't cured.... he had only began "Detox"
You have to imagine that this is a somewhat good feeling though, doncha? To realize that whatever he thought might happen, didn't?
Then he goes and jumps beautifully. Go figure. Like an alcoholic hiding his disease. Or a charming teenager hiding his rage. Again, not their fault.
Just so you know, these are TWO different horses. Check the markings. They are different.
I'm not afraid to say, that Buck's Jump style is not as polished as this young girls....but, that's OK!
Here is our Boy Jaton! He trains and shows Cutting horses. It takes kind of a special horse that wants to 'watch a cow', and Jaton is great at helping them build their skills. See that horse, with his eye on the cow?
I'm not saying a lot about these photos, cuz I'm not about to pretend I know all about this. I just know a good photo!
Coming in, is Kalon, Jaton's brother. They did a bit of a demonstration together. Two of Ray Hunt's grandsons, both from Mountain Home. How cool is that?
I hope you aren't against roping. We love to rope. If you don't, click the back button now. This is a bit of a Ranch Roping Demonstration to end the Day.
There aren't many who can come close to roping like Martin does. And if you say you can, I don't likely believe you. I've seen some of the Fanciest Loops go Sailing....
I didn't get any fancy loops shots of Martin at this, but I did show some last year, from when we were at the Alvord
I also didn't get great shots by Buck, but.... you can bet him and Martin both can do it.
Reata, heeling
I hope you enjoyed!

You betcha, horses can do great in a halter and bareback. I myself didn't have a saddle til I was about 25. Didn't miss it. Then when older and got a bit more high strung horses, I thought.."hmmmmmmmmmm saddles? yeah, they might be good!" LOL
I have different views on lots of things than some ... I have what you might call "Bridle horses" but I ride mostly in snaffle bits. Some say I don't have the 'best control', but I respectfully disagree. I have great control, and I prfer to do it that way, than add 'leverage' and chains, wires, etc. That's not control, that's intimidation ...so, KUDOS to you!
Over the years I've accumulated soooo much tack, but I know it's not something you HAVE to have.
I'm glad you enjoy my blogs.... Makes me feel good!

Sometimes I'll read over a blog really quick or maybe just skim through parts of it. Not yours! I find myself studying every sentence of it and every picture. Man, I love me some horses!
I ride bareback and only with a halter and lead rope. What are your feelings on that? The only reason I do it is because we were so poor when I was little, that we couldn't afford tack and I've gotten really used to riding that way.
Do you think this is teaching my horse bad behavior, bad habits? He is a tad spooky, like I said (use to be real bad. did ground work for it for about 6 months) but, I have always been able to gather him up when he tries to bolt and he's never bucked.
Are horses 'controled' by a halter and lead rope as well as they would be a bridle and bit?
Thanks for your input, and great blog!

Mathis Wackernagel, President of Global Footprint Network, was in Quito, Ecuador at the invitation of the Ministry of Tourism to speak at the Inter-American Tourism Congress XX. The conference was part of the larger Conscious Tourism Congress.
Mathis spoke about the Ecological Footprint and underscored the current trends toward ecological overshoot.
"We have limited resources and unlimited wants. You have to think about tourism within this reality. We do not want to decrease the growth of tourism, but we need to see to what extent it will produce opportunities or harm," he said.
After the talk on the conference's inaugural day, Mathis met with the heads of several government agencies, including the Minister of the Environment (Mercy Borbor) and the Minister of Non-Renewable Resources, who expressed interest in working closer with Global Footprint Network.
Mathis emphasized the importance of signing the Interagency Cooperation Agreement with the Ministry of Environment, a three-year collaboration that follows up on our previous work with Ecuador. Global Footprint Network and the Ministry of Environment will work together in the implementation of a project called "Identification, Calculation and Mitigation of the Ecological Footprint and Productive Public Sector of Ecuador."
In November, Global Footprint Network will be hosting some personnel from the Ministry of Environment to conduct technical training.
Ecuador is the first nation to incorporate the Ecological Footprint into its National Plan, committing itself to maintain its Ecological Footprint at a level within what its ecosystems can renew.

Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to commend the White Rock ROV Chix. This group of enterprising young ladies built a remote operated vehicle to compete in the marine advanced technology competition in Seattle in May. Their hard work and ingenuity paid off as they took first prize in the Pacific Northwest regional competition. The team of Madeleine Gawthrop, Lindsey Gorman, Caroline Dearden, Rebekah Pickard and Jessica O'Sullivan beat eight other teams.
The Chix now have the honour of representing their region at the world championships being held in Houston, Texas, at the NASA space center. These home-schoolers demonstrated innovation and rugged determination and stand as fine examples to all young Canadians.
I would also like to congratulate the White Rock Heritage Christian School team of Peter Zielke, Guido Worthman, Kye Seo Hwang and Matthew Stevens for its impressive third place finish.
All the best to the Chix in Houston. We are rooting for them.

Mr. Speaker, National Aboriginal Day is a day that Canadians celebrate the contributions of first nations, Métis and Inuit Canadians.
Today I would like to recognize the tremendous contributions made by the people of the Kenora riding. I would like to recognize Grand Chief Arnold Gardner for his tireless work on behalf of the Treaty 3 communities. He continues to highlight the obstacles that his people face to achieve equal standing in our community. He is a dedicated and well-respected leader.
I would also like to recognize Grand Chief Stan Beardy, who represents communities within Treaty 9 that have particular challenges with remoteness. He has fought to have their voices heard in Ottawa and he has persevered to achieve the results for his people.
I have been fortunate to have their guidance and, as such, I have gained a greater understanding of what we as a nation must strive for: respect, trust and above all equality.
I represent members of 41 first nations and Métis communities, and I would like to offer my best wishes for their celebrations.

Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to pay tribute to a large company in the riding of Drummond. Multina specializes in manufacturing seats for recreational vehicles, components for public transit vehicles, and foam and composite products.
A recent KPMG/Ipsos Reid survey of 250 of Canada's most visible business leaders showed that Multina is among Quebec's most respected businesses.
In addition, the company received an industry achievement award from the Réseau industriel Drummond for its contribution to the region's economic development.
Multina is a marvellous example of how dynamic businesses in the Drummond riding can be, and I am proud to have the opportunity to talk about it today.
Congratulations to the company, its management team and all of its employees on their excellent work.

Penny Priddy Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, today we honour 10 years of celebrating National Aboriginal Day in this country and celebrating aboriginal people.
Yesterday the government announced the appointment of Wendy Grant-John, a special representative for the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. That is a positive message to first nations.
Ms. Grant-John has been a strong voice for aboriginal people and particularly for women. Aboriginal women have made progress in our country, but there is a very long way to go.
The Government of Canada has a role to play. Aboriginal women are still disproportionately victims of spousal abuse. Far more than many women in other parts of the country, women of all ages in the aboriginal community live below the poverty line.
They are forced to raise their families in crowded homes and unsafe conditions, often as many as 21 people in one house. They lack even the basics, like safe drinking water.
Aboriginal people are owed the resources and capacity for women to raise families in safe, healthy environments, and to take their place at the decision making tables. Canada's New Democrats will stand beside aboriginal people in their struggle for equality.

James Lunney Nanaimo—Alberni, BC
Mr. Speaker, today marks Canada's 10th National Aboriginal Day. From sea to sea, from north to south, many celebrations are underway.
Right here in the nation's capital, there is a gathering of some 300 first nations, Inuit and Métis, pastors, leaders and community members. The First People's Summit is an assembly of leaders who desire to see the spiritual well-being and the moral integrity of Canada preserved, enhanced and promoted.
These original and host people are praying for and working quietly with determination to see progress in biblically based reconciliation. Their desire is to see healing and unity in Canada between all people, nations, churches and governments, and to cultivate true peace and prosperity throughout our land.
Today representatives from first nations, Inuit and Métis communities will sign a historic document entitled the "Covenant of the First Peoples of Canada".
Inscribed on the Peace Tower are the words, "Where there is no vision, the people perish".
I wish to draw this event to the attention of all members and commend the participants in this historic gathering for their vision and commitment to bring blessing, reconciliation and spiritual renewal to Canada. It is National Aboriginal Day. We have a reason to celebrate.

Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, today is the 10th anniversary of National Aboriginal Day, a day when Canadians from sea to sea to sea celebrate the culture and achievements of Canada's aboriginal people: Inuit, first nations and Métis.
As I look back and see how far Nunavut has come since April 1, 1999, I am so proud of my territory and the people.
However, it is imperative that the federal government act on the Berger report regarding the Nunavut land claim implementation and the Kelowna accord.
The federal government must act on the housing crisis facing Inuit as well as health and education issues. By not doing so, Canada fails in its very real obligations to Inuit and puts the honour of the Crown at stake. The failure to act by the federal government fails not only Inuit but all Canadians.
I wish all Canadians a very happy National Aboriginal Day, a wonderful Canada Day, and a safe and enjoyable summer.

Rod Bruinooge Winnipeg South, MB
Mr. Speaker, aboriginal people have played vital roles in the defence, economic prosperity, and the cultural richness of our nation, both before and after Confederation.
As fur trade partners aboriginal Canadians helped build Canada's first economic engine in Montreal and helped generate the wealth that led to the establishment of Canada's first bank.
All Canadians should be proud of their accomplishments and acknowledge how important they remain to the economic, social and cultural well-being of Canada's future.
Today is June 21, the summer solstice, a day aboriginal people have long celebrated. It is also the 10th anniversary of its official designation as National Aboriginal Day.
I encourage all Canadians to participate in activities taking place this day from sea to sea to sea in celebration of the important place aboriginal people hold within the fabric of our society and of this land.
Let us share in the celebration.

Mr. Speaker, in 1996 the federal government created the Canadian Television Fund to provide financial assistance to the television and feature film industry and to support production in Canada and Quebec.
On the heels of unprecedented growth in the film industry in Quebec within Canada, the federal government slashed the fund. In 2005, it was cut by $37 million despite its recognized importance and effectiveness.
In light of the fact that its performance has exceeded all expectations, it is vital that Quebec receive its fair share of the funds allocated to the industry. The Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of Women must ensure this and take action to increase the limits on funds available to francophones.
The Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of Women is meeting with the Quebec coalition today. Let us hope she finds some political courage and takes advantage of this opportunity to take concrete action in line with the federal government's stated policy of openness. To do otherwise would be to show that there is no place for the Quebec film industry in Canada.

Mr. Speaker, last Saturday night I went to an Oilers game at Rexall Place, something I had done literally hundreds of times over the past 10 years working for the team.
This night was special though as it was game six of the Stanley Cup finals. I stood beside the Prime Minister and, with a choir of 17,000, sang a spine-tingling version of O Canada.
The Oilers played the best game I had ever witnessed them play, winning 4-0, and I commented to wife that it was one of the most remarkable nights of my life.
However, the absolute highlight, the one thing I will always remember, came when we pulled up to the house and I saw my seven year old speck of a daughter jumping up and down for joy in the front window, because her daddy was home. I tucked her and her 10 year old brother into bed, and got to spend about seven more hours with them on Father's Day before climbing on a plane to come back here for the eighth time out of the past nine weeks.
As parliamentarians we are blessed with the opportunity to represent Canadians and to make decisions that will shape the nation. We all work extremely hard and are able to do so because of the sacrifice of the families we leave back home.
Today I want to recognize and thank my wife Debi, son Jaden and daughter Jenae, along with the family members of every one of my colleagues on either side of the House.

Yasmin Ratansi Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, in recognition of National Aboriginal Day I wish to take this opportunity to remind the Conservative government of its moral obligation to the first nations in this country and to uphold the historic Kelowna accord that was reached last fall between our aboriginal people and 14 governments across Canada.
Unfortunately, this Conservative government and the current Prime Minister have chosen to turn their backs on the first nations by failing to uphold the Kelowna accord.
The former Prime Minister, the right hon. member for LaSalle—Émard, has taken the unprecedented step of introducing a private member's bill in this House in order to keep hope alive for our aboriginal people. The Kelowna accord is a comprehensive 10 year $5.1 billion plan to achieve a clear set of goals and targets.
The Conservatives inherited a very healthy fiscal balance sheet from the previous Liberal government. There is simply no excuse in this day and age to deliberately ignore the plight of our aboriginal people.

Mr. Speaker, it is June. School is out and it is report card time. It is only fitting then to deliver a report card on the Liberal's first semester in opposition.
In math, the Liberals get an F for failing to understand that slashing the GST plus tax credits equals $20 billion more in the pockets of Canadians.
In geography, the Liberals get an F for forgetting where Afghanistan and our courageous troops are.
In history, the Liberals get an F for repeatedly forgetting their 13 year record of waste, mismanagement and corruption.
In science, the Liberals get an F for greenhouse gas emissions that are 35% above 1990 levels, not 6% below as the Liberals promised.
For attendance, the Liberals get an F. Apparently 11 Liberal leadership wannabes and their minions prefer playing hooky to representing their constituents here.
For attention, the Liberals get another F. It seems Liberal MPs just cannot resist their daytime naps in QP.
No wonder Canadians keep telling the Liberals to go stand in the corner.

Mr. Speaker, today I will be delivering more than 800 postcards to the Prime Minister's Office from the residents of Alberni Valley on Vancouver Island.
Their message is clear. Logging practices in the Alberni Valley are completely unsustainable and are causing deep concern to loggers, mill workers, environmentalists, first nations and local business. The future of our economy is on the line.
We are asking the Prime Minister to preserve and strengthen the surplus test on export of raw logs from lands in B.C.
Approximately 1 million cubic meters of wood provide 790 full time processing jobs. With 2.5 million cubic meters of logs exported last year from private lands in B.C., the federal government allowed approximately 2,000 jobs to disappear. Many communities in my riding are also suffering as truckload after truckload of raw logs is exported.
That is why I am pleased to support the Save Our Valley Alliance as we work together to ban raw log exports and keep jobs in Canada.
National Aboriginal Day

Robert Thibault West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, on this 10th annual National Aboriginal Day, I would like to draw the attention of the House to a first nations community in New Brunswick, the community of Elsibogtog, which sorely lacks adequate housing.
In fact, Susan Levi-Peters, Chief of the Elsibogtog Nation, wrote to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians. She asked him for 500 new houses but will receive only five.
We know that aboriginal housing is not a priority for this government. The funding promised in the Conservative budget is simply an allocation and totals $1 billion less than what would have been invested under the Kelowna accord.
This is an insult to aboriginal Canadians.

Carole Freeman Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, QC
Mr. Speaker, June 21 marks the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and more importantly, National Aboriginal Day.
I am pleased to remind the House that the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples recommended a National Aboriginal Day in 1995. In 1996, June 21 was declared the first National Aboriginal Day.
For the past 10 years, we have been celebrating the important contributions made by first nations peoples. For decades, even centuries, we have benefited from their assistance in our everyday lives. June 21 offers an opportunity to acknowledge the exceptional contributions made by the first nations, Inuit and Métis to Quebec and Canadian society.
Aboriginal nations have a place of honour in our history and the Bloc Québécois would like to emphasize the importance of their contribution to our society.
Enjoy the festivities, my dear friends.

Singleton: Sing to the SunPosted by Trevor in Uncategorized
Alvin Singleton
Sing to the Sun
Albany Records
Sing to the Sun is the 4th recording devoted entirely to the works of Alvin Singleton, and it's a worthy addition to an already strong catalog. Singleton is a difficult composer to categorize, but his works always have a clarity and accessibility to them despite the often-dissonant tonal language. The five works on this disc are no exception. It is a testament its consistency that of the three people I've spoken to about it, all had a different favorite track.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I was a production assistant for the recording session of Greed Machine. As such, I have heard the piece many, many times, but it hasn't worn thin in the least. The piece is performed by Teresa McCollough on piano and Peggy Benkeser on vibraphone, with the timbral properties of each instrument exploited to their fullest. From the dancing upper overtones of the opening to the sudden frenetic outbursts, it is one of Singleton's best pieces in my (biased) opinion.
The following piece from 1971 is the oldest featured on the disc, and shows a young composer who was already in full command of his abilities. Argoru III, scored for solo flute, was written for Sara Vargas-Barritt, who performs it here. Normally I am not terribly attracted to works for solo flute, but the ecstatic thrill of this one won me over by the end. As a side note, someone should release a CD of the entire set of Argorus, a series of eight pieces for a variety of solo instruments. Every one I've heard is wonderful.
The title track plays like a children's musical from a future culture. As with Argoru, Singleton again confounds my usual prejudices against narrative roles in musical forms by delivering an imaginative accompaniment to author/speaker Ashley Bryan's intoned tale. As with many of Singleton's pieces, it has such a beguiling simplicity to it that it's easy to neglect the wonderful subtleties of the music.
Apple, scored for clarinet quartet, is the longest track at 18 minutes; it is also the most difficult. It starts out innocently enough with a single note, and builds to near cacophony. Yet even at its loudest, the clarity of the structure is never lost, and excitement is made all the more visceral by Singleton's use of silence.
The final track is Fifty Times Around The Sun, performed by David Shifrin on clarinet and Anne-Marie McDermott on piano. Dramatic and reflective, dissonant and beautiful, free and structured, it closes the album and seems to sum up Singleton's aesthetic at the same time.
Admittedly, I'm a devoted fan to Alvin's music. Listeners who haven't heard much of him would also be advised to check out this release. All of the performances are very strong, the sound quality is good, and it serves as a great introduction to a great artist.

Warming Center closes for season, homeless look elsewhere for shelter
LA CROSSE, Wis. - The La Crosse Warming Center is closed for the season.
That means 15 homeless people no longer have a place to stay every night.
So what happens to those people now?
The coordinator of the La Crosse Warming Center, Mary Fitzpatrick says they've had an extremely busy year.
For a stretch in March, they were actually having to turn people away because they simply didn't have enough space.
Now the center is closed, which means people in need will have to find a new place to stay.19602632
"We just closed Monday morning April 1 at 7 a.m. The last of the guests left that morning," said Fitzpatrick. "With the Warming Center, the door for the guests and the volunteers being on West Avenue, and as busy as that is there are a lot of people who before were not even aware that we had homeless people. It's really helped as far as the awareness."
While the steps of the La Crosse Warming Center are empty, it doesn't mean the homeless are gone. Now they'll have to find new places to live until the center reopens in November.
"Some have gone to live with family. Some have friends that they're able to stay with. Some have cars and are sleeping in their cars. We handed out sleeping bags the last night so people could take those with them. We are working with some of the couples and some of the individuals at Catholic Charities to make sure there is a plan in place for them long term," said Fitzpatrick.
City officials say the homeless will also turn to heated parking ramp stairwells, overpasses and areas of the marsh for shelter.
Salvation Army staff says they have room but unfortunately many of the people the Warming Center accepts, the Salvation Army won't.
"The Salvation Army will only accept people who pass a breathalyzer test or are not using drugs. It's a safety concern for us," said Julie Nelson with the Salvation Army.
It means some in the homeless community will have to make due without a roof over their head for another seven months until the Warming Center reopens.
Fitzpatrick says they may look to extend how late in the year the center is open next year.
That way people will have a place to stay if the cold weather sticks around as long as it has this year.
The Warming Center is open every night from November to April 1.
Fitzpatrick says it takes more than 40 volunteers a week to keep the center running.

Here's a quick primer for you guys for Friday night's first round on Versus.
The Jackets have the 4th pick and the best player available at their pick is going to be a defenseman. Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin will go #1 and #2, so one of Cam Fowler, Erik Gudbranson, and Brandon Gormley will be there at 4. Personally, I'm hoping for Fowler and several sources around the league are saying that Florida will take Gudbranson.
Fowler's a future stud IMO. He played for US in the World Juniors and had poise and maturity well beyond his years. He's a shutdown guy on defense, a perfect complement to John Moore.
If they want to go the forward route, and I think it's a mistake to do so, Brett Connolly will be the guy. He shot up the pre-draft rankings this season, so he's maximizing his value. I don't know if he's as good as he's ranked because he had such a rise up the rankings, but we'll see.
I think it's Fowler/Gormley or trade down. Taking a forward makes no sense with their lack of defensive depth and guys like Jan Hejda and Mike Commodore aren't getting any younger. They have a young core of forwards already with a couple other guys on the way.
Check out the draft if you guys get a chance. It's usually very exciting and it makes for great TV when Bettman steps to the podium and announces a trade and everybody's on the edge of their seat.
