Updated: Sunday, 24 Feb 2013 20:08

A 9-year-old boy was struck by a car that failed to stop at an area between Dillons Cross and Gordons Hill at 5pm.
The boy is being treated in hospital for fractures to his leg.
Gardaí are appealing to the driver of a beige or silver coloured Nissan Primera car that was in the area at that time to contact them.

From staff reports
The Town of Thurmond has been planning on resurfacing the sidewalk along the railroad tracks in front of the old post office for several years.
After several months of brainstorming and research, town officials have decided to also create an educational walk by highlighting significant dates and events from the town's past on engraved 8" x 8" bricks. For example: 1873: W. D. Thurmond acquired 73 acres on the banks of New River; 1903: Thurmond is incorporated; 1908: Major flood washes away the Thurmond bridge; 1930: Dunglen Hotel is burned down; 1968: First commercial whitewater rafting trip in West Virginia is taken; and so on.
The remaining surface of the sidewalk will be completed with a combination of blank and engraved bricks.
The town needs support from the public to make the project a success. Now is your chance to help support Thurmond with a one-time donation that will last a lifetime. Buy a brick or several bricks for yourself, family, in memory of a loved one, in honor of a family member, or in thanksgiving of a loved one. Each sponsored brick will be a visible part of the sidewalk in front of the Thurmond Post Office. The development mission for the sidewalk is to tie the past history to the present and into the future.
The project will begin in July.
To purchase bricks, write: Town of Thurmond, 174 Main Street, Thurmond, WV 25936; or visit www.ThurmondWV.org or ThurmondWV on Facebook.

Three Pointers: Treading water against the Lake Show
SAN FRANCISCO -- Call it a mixed bag.
Tuesday night's 95-90 defeat at the hands of Kobe Bryant and the Lakers at the Staples Center had the Nets split a bit.
On one hand, they were pleased with the way they clawed back into it after finding themselves in a 10-0 hole four minutes into the game, storming to a six-point lead late in the fourth quarter.
However, there's still another...Read more »

When Joe Johnson looks over at the Lakers' bench a week from Tuesday at Staples Center and Mike D'Antoni is at the end of it, let's just say it's not something he expected to witness.
But just don't call it weird.
"It won't be weird," Johnson said after Monday's practice at the Barclays Center. "It will be great to see him. But him being the Lakers' head coach, it may be a little different,...Read more »

There were smiles all around.
Those two nasty losses were finally in the rearview mirror Friday night, cast aside with a 107-68 pummeling of the Magic at Amway Center.

Angeljean Chiaramida
---- — Due to the storm, Seabrook Police Department and Seabrook Watchdogs neighborhood watch rescheduled its free Drug Abuse and Narcotic Awareness program to Thursday, March 14. The program will run at Seabrook Public Library from 6 to 8 p.m., according to police Chief Lee Bitomske.
Present at the event will be professionals, such as a local pharmacist, who can answer questions from the public.

Maundy Thursday service will be offered at 7 p.m. at Trinity United Church with Pastor Beddie providing worship leadership.
Good Friday worship will take place at Four Corners Advent Church with Pastor Bruce Small.
Sunrise Easter Service will be at 6 a.m. on Seabrook Beach. Pastor Beddie will lead the service.
Traditional Easter Resurrection Celebration will take place at 11 a.m. at Trinity United Church. Planned is an abundance of special music and something for the children.

Operations Manager Lake Red Rock
Pella —
The Lake Red Rock area offers great hunting opportunities! Hunters can access about 25,000 acres of forest, prairie, upland and lowland habitats. Agricultural leased ground on government property is also open to hunting, and farmers are required to leave some standing crop as a wildlife food source.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) estimates upland game populations through the following surveys:
Roadside Counts: Every year, the DNR conducts roadside counts during the first 15 days of August. At least one 30-mile route is run in each county during the first 1 ½ to 2 hours of the day. The routes are the same as those run since the 1960s. Wildlife surveyed during the counts includes pheasant and other species such as quail and rabbits. Casey Trine, DNR Natural Resource Technician at the Red Rock Wildlife Unit reported, "The number of pheasant counted during this year's survey increased 35-40% over the previous year; however, even though numbers are up, the counts are still low. Farmers are seeing more birds, but we need more mild winters and dry, warmer springs."
Turkey brood surveys: Brood surveys take place in July and August each year. A postcard survey is mailed to wildlife professionals and hunters to collect information on area sightings. Trine said, "Preliminary numbers show turkey counts are up. They had a good hatch, and weather conditions were right."
Deer Harvest Numbers and Surveys: Deer population is determined through winter aerial surveys, springtime spotlight surveys, and tracking road killed deer salvaged and removed from the state's highways. Aerial surveys are completed annually after a fresh snowfall event (and with a base of snow already on the ground). Two DNR Wildlife staff travel with a pilot along established routes called transects. These same transects have been used for about 30 years in order to record data as consistently as possible. Pilots fly as low and slow as legally possible in order to count deer. The animals show up easily against the white background of the snow. Wild turkeys are also counted during the surveys. In the spring, spotlight surveys are completed before leaf-out. Established 25-mile routes are used each year for consistency; however, routes may be periodically added or phased out over time. The agency reports that deer populations are good in Marion County, and hunters should have good opportunities to be successful this season.
The Corps Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources game laws apply to all of Lake Red Rock's areas. Copies of both sets of regulations are available at the Corps office and Red Rock Visitor Center on the south side of the dam.
All recreation areas and two state wildlife refuges at the lake are closed to hunting. It is the hunters' responsibility to know where they are and be able to identify hunting areas from closed areas. For a map showing public hunting (and trapping) areas, visit the Corps website at www.lakeredrock.org . Hard copies of the map are also available at the Corps office and Red Rock Visitor Center on the south side of the dam. For more information, contact the Corps office at Ph. (641) 828-7522 or (641) 628-8690 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hard to believe that another year has passed us by. It has been a wonderful, busy year full of many blessings and amazing experiences. My trip to Guatemala was by far the highlight of my year and the perfect way to start off the new year. I will be ringing in the 2012 at home with my blessings. New Years day is also my Mother-in-loves birthday, we usually head over to her house and enjoy a traditional New Years day meal of cabbage, black-eyed peas and pork roast!
Here is a wonderful recipe for Black-eyed peas from Frank Davis of New Orleans…
Black-eyed peas
1 pound dried black eye peas
4-6 cups chicken stock
1/2 pound sautéed bacon, diced
1 cup diced yellow onions
1/2 cup diced celery
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1 tablespoon dried sweet basil
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons bacon drippings
2 teaspoons Frank Davis Vegetable Seasoning
Sea salt and coarse-ground black pepper to taste, if needed
First, rinse the peas well under cold running water in a colander and set them aside momentarily to drain.
Next, take a 5-quart heavy aluminum Dutch oven (one that has a tight-fitting lid) and bring the chicken stock to a rapid boil. Then drop into the stock the chopped bacon.
Now bring the stock to a slow boil.
Then add and stir in the onions, celery, garlic, thyme, sweet basil, and bay leaves, cover the pot tightly, and over medium-low heat continue to cook until the vegetables soften, which should take about 15 minutes.
At this point, drop in the black eye peas and the bacon drippings and stir the pot well, making sure the mixture is uniformly blended.
Then bring the peas to a boil, but immediately reduce them to a simmer, cover the pot once again, and cook the peas until they become tender and full flavored (this should take about an hour or so on a very low fire).
Oh—be sure to stir the pot occasionally to keep the peas from sticking to the bottom.
Finally, just before you're ready to eat, sprinkle in the vegetable seasoning and the salt and pepper and season the peas to taste.
Remember—you already have salt in the chicken stock, the minced bacon, and the bacon drippings, so you may not need to add much more if any.
Then, when your pork loin and your cabbage casserole are ready, serve the peas directly from the pot, piping hot, over a short pile of steamed rice and accompanied by a hearty chunk of hot buttered corn bread.
There couldn't be a more "Naturally N'Awlins" way to start a brand new year!
A New Year's Prayer
May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,
and by making you anxious to be there to help.
God's love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.

Here is a new rule:
Do not joke about Barack Obama getting assassinated.
Fox News really messed up here when their reporter joked about taking out Osama Bin Laden and Barack Obama:
It wouldn't be so pathetic but at the time they were discussing Hillary's poor wording. How about this Fox News? When discussing poor word choices, choose your words wisely!
If you haven't seen Hillary's comments for yourself you really should before you form an opinion:
Was it as bad as the way people are describing what she said? What was she thinking?
Of course, there was Mike Huckabee's comments also:
Mike Huckabee did apologize for his joke too.
And of course there was the employee of Salem Communications who thought it fit to include Michelle Obama's response to a question about if she had fears about her husband being killed:
Anyways, New rule: Do not joke about Barack Obama getting murdered. It isn't funny.
What are your thoughts on the presidential campaign?

Our almond recipes make the most of this versatile nut - from ground almonds in rich cakes and biscuits, to crunchy roasted chopped almonds in salads and soups.
There are two sorts of almonds, the bitter almond and the sweet almond. Bitter almonds are used to make almond oil, which is used in many baking recipes to add an intense almond flavour. Sweet almonds are among the most commonly used nuts. Ground sweet almonds are especially useful in baking and can be substituted for flour to create a dense, moist texture in cakes and biscuits. They are also used in savoury dishes - ground almonds thicken romesco sauce and add texture and flavour to chicken korma. Dishes described as 'amandine' are served with whole or split blanched almonds – trout amandine being a universal classic.
Almonds can be used as decoration, or for desserts, in sweets and pastries such as praline or the Spanish version of nougat (turrón), and in macaroons and marzipan. In savoury dishes they're used in everything from stuffings to salads and tagines to pilau. Several recipes might tell you to toast almonds before using them which intensifies their flavour and gives more colour and crunch. For the freshest flavour, grind your own almonds as you need them because they become stale quickly.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

- GCU London Club
GCU London Club
GCU's own widening access and community engagement initiative, the Caledonian Club, part of the university's motto to promote the common good, has now been extended to GCU London, the GCU London Club.
The Club works with schools, children and families in the community to raise educational aspirations in young people and their families and build on key life skills and confidence in its young members.
The GCU London Club will work with a nursery, primary and secondary school in the Tower Hamlets area of London. In addition to core activities placed at key stages in the educational journey, October saw the launch of the first ambitious collaborative project – between the Caledonian Club and GCU London Club – entitled A Tale of Two Sporting Cities.
The project involves St Bartholomew's Primary School in Castlemilk, Glasgow, and St Matthias Church of England Primary School in Tower Hamlets, London, which both share similar demographics of social deprivation.
A Tale of Two Sporting Cities will take place over the course of the academic year to raise aspirations, provide the opportunity to try out new activities and build key life skills. Using the stimulus of the London Olympics in 2012 and the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014 to examine the cultural and sporting legacy of London and Glasgow as host cities.
The Club is delighted to offer its pupils the opportunity to meet for cultural exchanges in London and Glasgow, visit sporting venues and take part in sport taster sessions with UK Olympic and Commonwealth athletes. Many of the pupils involved have not had the opportunity to leave their own city, and many also come from families who have no prior experience of higher education.

RALEIGH — Utility crews are working tonight to restore electricity to an estimated 196,000 Progress Energy customers still without power as of 10 p.m., including 8,700 in Wake County, company officials said.
That's down from a peak of more than 279,000 customers at 2 p.m.
Progress Energy warned Saturday that it will take several days to complete repairs, especially in the hardest-hit areas. Once the damage assessment is completed by the end of Sunday, the company will provide a "return to service" estimate for all customers.
About 8,700 customers in Wake County were still without electricity as of 10 p.m., Progress Energy said. Another 8,900 customers were without electricity in Johnston County.
Crews will use helicopters, boats and all-terrain vehicles to pinpoint trouble spots, officials said. Where possible, crews will make repairs while the damage assessment is being completed. The company has more than 1,000 line workers and tree crews on standby to restore power in North Carolina.
The top priority is to repair transmission lines, which are high-voltage lines that deliver electricity from power plants to substations. From substations, electricity is delivered to communities by feeder and tap lines. After making repairs to the large transmission lines, crews join line and service crews in repairing tap and service lines.
You can report power outages by calling 800-419-6356. The companys automated outage-reporting system can handle up to 120,000 calls per hour.
You can get the latest information on outages on this updating map of Progress Energy outages or, if a Duke Energy customer, on this Duke Energy page.

As more people turn to mobile players like phones and tablets for their movies, TV and music, the limitations of playback quality on those devices become ever more clear.
On the video side, the improvements are there, and with good bandwidth, and a nice HD screen, you really can see a pretty good picture. But in most cases, the sound on these devices has lagged far behind. It isn't just a question of headphone quality, or even the output quality of the device itself, which if you're listening through headphones is usually nothing more than a few cents worth of 1/8" analog jack anyway -- hardly hi-fi.
The real problem is that the original audio you're listening to -- particularly for movies and TV shows -- was never recorded or mixed to be a headphone experience. Think of the last blockbuster movie you saw in the theater or listened to through your home theater. Think of all the big dynamics, the loud sounds of things blowing up, the soft surround sounds that put you in the scene.
To get the Dolby Digital sound experience in a movie theater, there are often a dozen or more speakers at work. To get it in your home theater, there are six at least, and sometimes eight or more. When you try to listen to the same material through headphones -- two speakers, left and right -- there's a tremendous disconnect, both technologically and perceptually.
Dolby Labs has come up with a new audio treatment called "Dolby Digital Plus" which has been designed specifically to take the multi-channel movie experience and re-cast it for headphone (or sound dock, etc.) audio playback and other applications of what Dolby calls "evolving media."
The Listener's Problem
From an audio perspective, movies -- so far -- are not recorded or mixed to create a personalized listening experience. Nor are they designed for the tiny and tinny speakers featured on virtually every tablet (make that speaker singular for the iPad), or for the tiny, barely powered amplifiers built into these devices.
This is why loud passages in movies badly distort when you watch on a mobile device. It's also why dialogue often gets lost in a personal listening environment; in the intended context, that all-important audio gets assigned it's own dedicated speaker(s). It's also why many people end up watching their movies with one finger on the volume control, so you can turn down the crazy loud parts and then bring up the soft parts enough so that you can follow the dialogue and the story.
Dolby's Solution
What Dolby Digital Plus does is run the movie's audio through a series of algorithms that tailor the sound to a small-speaker environment (think headphones or built-in tablet speakers), taming the broad dynamics and wide frequency range of a true Dolby Digital movie and making it more palatable for miniaturized speaker playback.
Specifically, Dolby Digital Plus performs some fancy tricks with dynamic compression, intelligent equalization and spatial cues, such as:
A Volume Maximizer function that brings up soft signals but restricts the loudest audio peaks so they don't overload and distort (or annoy you);
A Volume Leveler that lets you set a "master" volume to your preference and then adjusts your content to play back at that relative volume, so you're not constantly riding the volume control;
A Regulator feature that compensates for the expected distortions when tiny speakers receive audio signals that are louder than they were designed to play;
A Dialogue Enhancer that better separates dialogue from background sound to make dialogue more intelligible;
Enhanced surround simulations that try to expand the 2-channel headphone experience to something that sounds like a larger space;
And a few other secret ingredients that Dolby intends to license to as many hardware partners as it can. Dolby Digital Plus technology has already found its way into the Amazon Kindle Fire HD. Expect many others to follow by the time the holidays roll around.
Dolby isn't the first to understand that headphones are the new speakers. Beats technology, for example, was once relegated strictly to a line of upscale headphones. Now, with the company being purchased by phone maker HTC, Beats "sound" will show up in millions of mobile devices.
Better sound is a good selling point for devices that people listen to music and movies through. Dolby figures that between its name recognition and its audio innovations that it's got a good chance to be the marquee name on your tablet as well as your home theater.
There are demos of Dolby Digital Plus available on the Dolby web site. Check them out and hear for yourself the next big thing in personal movie playback.

A new fitness craze known as 'Spinning' has taken over Charlestown retirement community in Catonsville and residents are not about to stop anytime soon.
Spinning consists of multiple exercise bikes arranged in a circle where riders spin the pedals simultaneously to motivating music. An instructor with a headset sits atop a lead bike, giving instructions and making the class fun.
Spinning classes are held on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 8-8:30 a.m. in the new Fitness Center in Charlestown Square on the Catonsville campus.
"Spinning can be a great way to get the workout our residents have been looking for—burning calories and keeping muscles in shape—especially during the off-season," said Teresa Reymann, the wellness manager for Charlestown. "It is an effective workout."
The intensity of the workout is influenced by the following: cadence or pedal rate, resistance of the bike's flywheel, which can be continually adjusted throughout the class to make pedaling easier or more difficult, and by the riders' body positions, as they either pedal from a seated position, or rise from the saddle.
Spinning classes are done with various light and music settings to create an energized atmosphere. Instructors guide participants through workout phases. Warm-up, steady up-tempo cadences, sprints, climbs, and cool-downs comprise each workout. Residents can control the resistance on their bikes to make the pedaling as easy or difficult as they choose. Constant adjustment is normal
"All the residents need are workout clothes, a towel (to wipe their faces) and a water bottle," said Reymann.

MDI are designed for at-home administration of aerosolized drugs and are the preferred routine route of delivery for glucocorticoid
and bronchodilator medications in people with asthma. Particles delivered by MDI are larger than those created by nebulization,
and thus do not penetrate as deeply into the respiratory tract. A traditional MDI consists of a mouthpiece and an actuator
(holder) into which a canister of medication is inserted. Manually depressing the canister (actuation) results in the release
of a single dose of medication (sometimes called a puff). People shake the canister, exhale deeply, insert the mouthpiece,
and simultaneously depress the canister and inhale as deeply as possible. They then hold their breath for as long as possible,
exhale and rinse the mouth and spit to remove the majority of the drug deposited in the oropharynx (only about 10 percent
of each dose reaches the airways). Obviously, dogs and cats can't use an MDI in this way. Spacers devices designed to fit
the MDI have allowed their adaptation for use in animals. Several types of spacers are available, from simple tubes inserted
between the MDI and the mouth and nose to holding chambers with one-way valves activated by inhalation.
Spacers were designed for young children or others with less than ideal coordination so that there is no requirement for simultaneous
depression of the canister and inhalation. The spacer also has the advantage of allowing the largest particles to fall out
and not enter the individual's mouth.
Until recently, most MDI used chlorofluorocarbons as propellants. Concerns about the ozone layer have led to new technologies,
including alternate propellants and the use of dry powder inhalers (DPI). The DPI devices contain no propellant, but rely
on the individual's inhalation through a reservoir containing a dry powder dose. The most common types of DPIs are discus
inhalers and turbohalers. Because they do not use a spacer device and require a voluntary inhalation of a minimum force to
deliver drug, these devices may be less useful for dogs and cats than MDI attached to spacers.
Nebulizers have long been used to provide airway humidification or to administer antimicrobials directly into the respiratory
tract. Mucolytic agents (e.g., N-acetylcysteine) have also been nebulized to treat animals with respiratory infection. Sterile
saline nebulization without antimicrobial drugs for 15-30 minutes at a time, administered three to four times per day is safe
for the treatment of animals with bronchopneumonia.
It is common to include antimicrobials in nebulized solutions to treat severe bacterial pneumonia. There are drugs made especially
for delivery by this route that do not contain potentially reactive additives or preservatives (e.g., Tobi®) but these preparations
are prohibitively expensive.
Veterinarians have used inexpensive drugs made for parenteral administration in nebulized solutions for the treatment of pneumonia
or other respiratory infections, including Bordetella bronchiseptica. Not all liquid antibiotics would be suitable for nebulization.
The most frequently used class of antibiotics for nebulization is the aminoglycosides.
There are no well-established guidelines for dosing or administration of formulations of drugs not made for aerosol use in
dogs and cats. Typically, the dose that would be used systemically of a drug such as gentamicin or amikacin is diluted in
saline to be delivered over a single 15-30 minute session with the nebulizer. It should be expected that a small percentage
of animals may experience bronchoconstriction in response to such therapies.
Pretreatment with bronchodilators may minimize potential reaction to drug carriers and improve drug delivery by the aerosol
route. Bronchodilators may be administered by parenteral routes 15 minutes prior to nebulization or via an initial period
of nebulization with the bronchodilator added directly to the nebulized fluid before the addition of the antimicrobial drug.
Delivery of antimicrobials should not replace systemic antimicrobials in animals with pneumonia. Instead, regard it as a complimentary
When nebulizers are used in the treatment of dogs and cats with contagious respiratory disease, the device itself must be
kept meticulously clean to avoid causing iatrogenic respiratory infection. Extreme care should be given to cleaning, and disposable
parts of the device should be disposed of after use in animals with respiratory tract infection. Nebulization of a nosocomial
Pseudomonas species, for instance, could have devastating consequences for an animal with compromised respiratory function.
Indications for MDI
Metered dose inhalers (MDI) are the preferred route of delivery for most asthma medications in people, and they have been
advocated for the treatment of feline bronchopulmonary diseases including asthma as well as for the treatment of dogs with
chronic bronchitis or related airway disease.

Vegetarian Sugar Shack Query
I remember last year there was a sugar shack that got in trouble during the reasonable accommodation debate because they served pea soup without ham and apparently did other accommodating things.
I'm a vegetarian but have never been to a sugar shack and would like to go. Can anyone recall the name of this place or suggest a sugar shack that would accommodate a vegetarian?
I believe it was L'Erabliere au Sous-Bois in Mont St-Gregoire.
I don't eat much red meat myself, so when I go sugaring off I eat the eggs, bread, potatoes, pancakes, pudding chomeur, oeufs en sirop, tarte au sucre, etc.... I find there's more than enough stuff to fill me up, without touching the ham & oreilles de crisse and whatever other meaty stuff they have!
Good luck.
Hahaha, vegetarian sugar shack, that's funny. Thanks - I needed that. It's like a person who is deathly allergic to shellfish going to a Red Lobster.
re: riboflavinjoe
No, it isn't. Someone who is vegetarian - or who keeps kosher or halal - can certainly enjoy the sugaring-off process, eat crêpes with maple syrup or several other things that don't involve pork. In years past, I was involved in events for new immigrants that involved such "reasonable accomodations" - sorry, I'm not up to date about where can meet your needs now.
re: lagatta
I can't speak to halal but I really doubt that anyone who is strictly kosher would ever eat at a cabane a sucre. Regardless if the shack may proclaim that not one food item contains any pork-related products, nary an Orthodox Jew would eat there since a) nothing is certified kosher, b) none of the dishes or cooking vessels would be ok to eat off, crepes still need to be cooked in something that may have held a pork product & c) even the cutlery that is used would be considered traif. Perhaps the tire a l'erable would be acceptable since you're eating off a popsicle stick off of snow - but then too, the making of the maple syrup would have to be certified kosher.
re: RhondaB
re: lagatta
There are a number of maple syrup producers listed here:
MK Certified Companies
Just do a search for "erabl" and you'll see several.
Any Montreal-related kosher query can also be made here: http://mk.ca/queries.html
re: lagatta
I don't think it's about accommodation (or shouldn't be) so much as it is about making choices. I laughed when I read it too, but there are certainly things vegetarians can eat at a cabane. It also depends how loosey goosey people are with their own dietary rules. Some vegetarians will eat eggs, others not. Many Jews who keep kosher at home, will have no qualms about devouring shellfish or pizza in a restaurant.
A hardcore lacto-ovo-whatever-vegan is about as likely to set foot in a cabane as an orthodox Jew.
re: bomobob
Folks, please help us keep the focus of this thread on helping the poster find Sugar Shacks that are known to be vegetarian friendly.
If you'd like to debate whether or not vegetarians can truly enjoy a sugar shack, please start a new thread on the General Chowhounding Topics board, in order to help us keep this board focused on sharing local chow tips. Thanks.
re: The Chowhound Team
I wish my posts would at least still show up in my history, so I didn't have to rewrite. AND I'd love to know how riboflavinjoe's post is more useful than my carefully-thought-out responses were.
L'association végétarienne de Montréal is organising visits to a sugar shack, with an all-vegan menu: http://www.vegemontreal.org/index.php... The name of the shack is La Pause sylvestre - it says it is a "vegetarian shack" though I have no idea if that is in general or for this event.
Well-known food blogger Lapin gourmand also mentions this: http://lapingourmand.com/
As for me, no way I'm venturing out to the countryside until it is warmer, but - il y en a pour tous les goûts, non?
re: lagatta
re: kpzoo
I don't think they have a website - it is a very small cabane, really in the woods, in the Eastern Townships. The shack only accomodates (reasonably or not) 22 guests - it is really artisnal! http://www.haut-saint-francois.qc.ca/...
Yes, the town name is great. Lots of Irish and Scottish settlers around there.
re: lagatta
The owners of "La Pause sylvestre" are vegetarians themselves. When they left Montréal to go live in Dudswell a bit more than ten years ago a vegetarian "cabane à sucre" was part of the project. They built every thing themselves and created the menu. I can highly recommend the place.
Discovered a cabane à sucre with a vegetarian meal option, for the record and in case anyone's looking.
Val des Rosacées
I may be trying it soon so I'll report back if I do.

The course layout provides spectators unmatched close-up views of the high-speed action. According to race organizer John Carbonell boats will be within 50 yards of race fans at the Truman Waterfront grandstand area as they roar into the outer harbor.
Event Activities
The Key West World Championship is to kick off with a parade of race boats down the island's legendary Duval Street beginning at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3.
The excitement builds through the week with races Wednesday, Nov. 6; Friday, Nov. 8, and Sunday, Nov. 10. Three races are scheduled per day, each featuring boats from multiple classes.
Among spectators' favorites is the Superboat Unlimited class, which draws powerful contenders competing at speeds that can exceed 165 mph.
On nonrace days, powerboat enthusiasts can view the boats, watch in-water testing runs and mingle with racers and crews at the race village on Key West's Truman Waterfront, located at the end of Southard Street past Thomas Street and Truman Annex.
In addition, parties and events are planned for racers and fans.
Race Tickets
General-admission tickets are available, as are all-inclusive VIP spectator passes for the Truman Waterfront grandstands and hospitality tent. Other popular viewing areas include waterfront hotels and Key West's Mallory Square.

Key West Poker Run 2013 Set For Thursday Sept. 19th – Sunday Sept. 22nd
Motorcyclists from throughout the United States are to travel one of America's most scenic highways to raise money for charity during the 41st annual Phil Peterson's Key West Poker Run, set for Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 19-22. The 2013 run features three Florida Keys cruising days so participants have more time to explore the island chain.
Traditionally drawing riders on up to 10,000 bikes, the popular ride features a unique route down the 113-mile Overseas Highway from mainland Florida to Key West. Offering long vistas of breathtaking sea and sky, the roadway incorporates 42 bridges spanning the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Florida Bay and Gulf of Mexico.
Beginning Sept. 1, bikers can register to ride at Peterson's Harley-Davidson of Miami, 19400 N.W. 2nd Ave., and Peterson's Harley-Davidson South, 19825 S. Dixie Highway. Online registration is accepted before that date at www.petersonsharley.com.
Participating bikers receive poker sheets when they register and draw cards at designated stops along the route. The first stop opens at 9 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, and riders must check in at the final stop in Key West by 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21.
Entrants who draw the 10 best poker hands are eligible to play in a winner-take-all round of Texas Hold 'Em set for 11 p.m. Saturday, Sept., 21, at the Rose Tattoo Bar, 618 Duval St. The winner is to take home a new Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle or $6,000 cash.
A section of lower Duval Street and Greene Street are to be closed to car traffic from 11 a.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday, and again from 7 a.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday, so bikers with weekend parking passes can park on the street to display their bikes and enjoy a street party.
Other attractions include a Thursday night "Upper Duval Crawl," a Friday and Saturday bike merchandise market, Saturday's "Biker Bash" and custom bike show, an oceanside Sunday brunch and parties throughout the weekend at Key West watering holes.
The Poker Run is a fundraiser for the Diabetes Research Institute and charities of the Key West Sunrise Rotary Club.

Submitted by Bebe Smith | Special to the Index
Master gardener Helen Pemberton was assisted by Cindy Vaught in presenting a very informative PowerPoint program on ornamental grasses at the May Blue Bonnet Garden Club's May meeting.
The presenters were very knowledgeable and answered numerous questions from the members about the grasses and their personal experience with many of them. This meeting was held in Lone Camp at the home of Betty Brazil with co-hostess Marlene Fritz. There were 17 ladies in attendance. Mary Lou Fairclo won the surprise gift. Willie Mae Hubbard's name was drawn to receive the pot of ornamental grass that the master gardeners gave away.

The Marion County Humane Society recently received a grant from anonymous benefactors in the amount of $10,000 for its spay-and-neuter program.
Shelter president Don Downs said that the humane society is very excited about this donation.
"The life blood of the humane society is donations and money out of grants," he said. "We're very appreciative of the people who did this."
According to Downs, the money came from a foundation started by a couple now living in North Carolina, but who grew up in Fairmont and have "generational ties to Marion County."
They wished to remain anonymous, but he said that they are hopeful that others will follow in their footsteps.
