Canada goes ape for THE GRAPE
Canadians' taste for wine maturing: study
MONTREAL -- Canadians are increasingly reaching for a glass of Beaujolais instead of beer and they're also drinking more domestic wines, says a new study on Canadian drinking habits.
Consumers bought an average of 22 bottles of wine in 2011, up from 13 in 1995, according to the Bank of Montreal's special report on the Canadian wine industry.
"It's a meteoric rise, really," said David Rinneard, national manager of agriculture at BMO.
And Canada's wine industry is poised for solid growth during the next five years, thanks in part to an aging population, a willingness to pay more for premium wines and the opportunity for domestic producers to make bigger inroads in the Canadian marketplace, the report said.
A third of wine consumed in Canada is produced by domestic wineries, Rinneard said. More than half of wine consumed in New Brunswick is Canadian-made and almost half of wine consumed in British Columbia is Canadian, he added.
"Canadian wineries continue to evolve, continue to hone their craft to the point where they are making some really globally competitive wines, which will, in time, bode well for all Canadian vintners," Rinneard said from Toronto.
But Quebec, which is the leading wine-drinking province, has the lowest consumption of Canadian-made wine at a little more than 20 per cent.
Wine has drained away market share from beer and spirits to the point where it's a third of all alcohol consumption in Canada, the recent report said.
During the 1995 to 2011 period, wine rose to 30 per cent from 18 per cent of Canadians' total alcohol consumption, while beer fell to 45 per cent from 53 per cent and spirits fell to 25 per cent from 29 per cent.
One hindrance for Canadian wine makers is the climate-imposed limits on wine production, which is concentrated in southern Ontario and Prince Edward County in southeastern Ontario as well as the interior of British Columbia, he said. There is also some wine production in Nova Scotia and Quebec.
Rinneard said Canadian wineries import grapes and blend them into some of their wines to increase production, due to the climate.
But the freezing temperatures are also essential to the production of Canada's ice wine, which is known globally.
"It's certainly a niche, if you will, that Canadian wineries have carved out on a global level and we certainly have positioned Canadian wineries as the pre-eminent ice-wine producer on the planet."
Rinneard said he sees Canada's wine industry, which employs about 5,000 people, poised for solid growth during the next five years.
"Certainly, growth in many respects is attributable to changing consumer palates," he said.
Wine writer Michael Pinkus said B.C.'s wine industry is seen in a very good light worldwide, but Ontario's wine industry "barely makes a drop in the large glass of wine," on a global level, except for ice wine. People are starting to know Ontario for cool-climate Chardonnay wine, but the province has a reputation to deal with, Pinkus said.
"B.C. doesn't have the nasty past that Ontario has," said Pinkus, president of the Wine Writers' Circle of Canada.
"Ontario had Baby Duck and things like that kind of tarred Ontario with a broad brush of making, for lack of a better term, crappy wine. That's the stuff your parents grew up on."
However, younger people are really taking to Ontario wines while the older generation still looks to French and Italian vintages, said Pinkus, who lives in the heart of the Niagara wine region in St. Catharines, Ont.
Overall, Pinkus said there's potential for the Canadian wine industry and noted the climate doesn't prevent Ontario from making good wine.
"A cool climate gives you better acidity, gives you wines that are better for food because it cleanses the palate," he said.
"Instead of sitting on the palate, it freshens the mouth, freshens the palate and you're ready for your next bite."
Another issue is most provinces ban the direct importation of wine from other provinces.
But Nova Scotia recently introduced provincial legislation that would allow the province's wine drinkers to import wine from other parts of Canada, following a decision by the federal government to lift its prohibition on wine importation.
If the legislation becomes law, Nova Scotia will join British Columbia and Manitoba as the only provinces to allow direct importation.

The capture of Saddam Hussein is an historic event by any standard. But aside from providing some dramatic footage for global TV audiences, what has really changed, for the people of Iraq, the Middle East, the United States, or the world?
Issues / War & Peace
The recent capture of Saddam Hussein serves as a distraction from the real issue: the lack of a viable exit strategy from Iraq.
The military maxim in Iraq might be summarized inelegantly as, "Do nothing that boosts or gives comfort to the guerrilla cause."
It remains to be seen whether a new marker has been set in al Qaeda's range.
In the aftermath of the bloodiest period of the occupation since the invasion, talk was rife that members of the U.S.-handpicked Iraqi Governing Council will soon be shown the door.
War and walls have demonstrably failed to make good neighbors in the Middle East. That leaves peace the "road less traveled."
Vice President Dick Cheney's office continues to grow as a homebase for prominent neoconservative foreign policy strategists.
The tug of war between the hawks and doves over North Korea policy continues within the Bush administration.
Look for the Bush administration to push its "Proliferation Security Initiative" (PSI) during the president's October trip to Asia.
The drive for money for the Iraqi occupation is now the only game in town.

The resignation of Martha Johnson as administrator of the General Services Administration seemed to take everyone by surprise. But the news spread rapidly, and within hours, the GSA inspector general released the report that had prompted her resignation.
Johnson was yet another public official caught in a spending scandal — in this case, a conference in Las Vegas that racked up more than $800,000 in costs, much of it excessive or frivolous and some of it in flagrant violation of contracting rules, according to the IG.
However, some questioned whether Johnson should bear so much of the blame. Most of the planning for the 2010 Western Regions Conference took place in 2009, long before Johnson became administrator in April 2010, as noted by consultant and former GSA official Bob Woods in FCW.com's coverage. Johnson took two other top GSA leaders with her, firing Public Buildings Service Commissioner Robert Peck and her senior adviser and former acting GSA administrator Stephen Leeds.
Nevertheless, even Woods tempered his support, saying Johnson didn't do enough after the fact to limit the damage. GSA officials posting photos of Peck's luxury hotel suite struck Woods as adding insult to injury. It "makes me wonder whether the judgment button was in the off position," he said.
Most news reports pinned a lot of the blame on Johnson. That was certainly the case with Bill O'Reilly's opinion piece on FoxNews.com.
"Somehow Martha managed to spend an incredible $820,000 for a conference outside of Las Vegas," O'Reilly wrote before tallying up the most egregious expenses, which included $130,000 spent to "scout" the conference hotel. "Apparently, Martha's advance team had to travel to Vegas six times to get a handle on where was best to discuss GSA business. Somebody had to do it."
Taking a more irreverent tack, Cristina Silva at the Associated Press suggested that GSA doesn't know how to spend with style. "Extravagant, yes, but not in the league of high rollers, who are treated to private gambling saloons and $425 tasting menus at the city's swankiest restaurants," Silva wrote.
For her article, she contacted Steven Striker, president of Striker VIP, a luxury concierge service in Las Vegas. He said federal employees could have gotten more for their money. His customers "rent out nightclubs and restaurants for private parties and commandeer helicopters and fighter jets for flights across the desert. A private dinner with a celebrity chef starts at $250 per guest."
And at RecordNet.com, an unsigned editorial said: "The conference, held just outside Las Vegas, included a mind reader, a clown and a comedian. Johnson should have listened more closely to the mind reader because nobody — least of all the taxpayers — is laughing now."
More outrage came a few days later when videos surfaced in which GSA employees made fun of excessive spending and the IG's office. Dana Bash reported on CNN that the videos and similar materials were hosted on an internal GSA website, which was apparently taken down after the scandal erupted.
But not everyone was mocking GSA or outraged by the IG's report.
The affair was much ado about not much, wrote Mark Heschmeyer, in an article for the CoStar Group. The group is an information provider for the commercial real estate industry, which is interested because the scandal involves the component of GSA that manages federal property.
Heschmeyer quoted several sources who said the amount of money involved was trivial and chalked the brouhaha up to election-year politics. For example, the article quotes John Kyle, senior vice president of Cresa Washington DC, defending Peck as "an outstanding public servant whom I have known and respected for many years" and saying Peck has now been "sacked, dishonored and disgraced."

Tonight: Partly cloudy and cold. Low: 15
Saturday: Mostly cloudy and chilly with a snow shower or flurries. High: 36 Low: 31
Another cold day on tap for us Saturday. We could see some passing flurries or even a snow shower during the first part of Saturday. Overnight look for the clouds to increase as a warm front approaches the region. The increase in clouds should help to hold temperatures steady after midnight, but that still won't stop them from dipping into the teens in many locations. There could be some black ice around into Saturday morning. Saturday will be a rather cloudy day as the warm front lifts to the north. The passing of this front may also spark up a few flurries (or a snow shower). A dusting is possible in our northern tier counties. Highs on Saturday will still be in the 30s, but with the warm front off to our north on Sunday the region will be able to tap into some of that warmer air as highs top out near 50 degrees. Along with the warmer temperatures Sunday will feature mainly cloudy skies.

Revert. Revert into the sullen dogs you once were. As poison replaces blood, revert and demolish. Everyone used to think humanity was you, slowly and surely you're more machine than men. Gears and cogs clog your system. Overload. Always running in circles. Tie me up, light me up, tear me down. As the paint runs down your face and into your eyes, think of me. I want to be remembered as pain.

Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann has placed Anthony Gutierrez, his office's director of general services, on leave during an investigation of sexual harassment complaints by staff members Vanessa Stout and Cindy Stankoski.
The women worked in Dann's telecommunications office, which Gutierrez supervised. They allege Gutierrez persistently harassed them, touching them and pressuring them to have sex. They say Gutierrez told them "You owe me" in reference to getting them state jobs.
Stankoski filed criminal harassment charges following a September 2007 incident in which she alleges that Gutierrez pressured her into going out for drinks. They wound up at a Dublin condominium, where Stankoski says she fell asleep drunk. When she awoke hours later, her pants were undone and Gutierrez was lying next to her in his underwear. At the time, Gutierrez, Dann and Leo Jennings III, Dann's communications director, were roommates at the condo. Stankoski alleges Dann was in the condominium that night.
Jennings has not been accused of harassment, but was also placed on leave during the investigation. Dann has recused himself from the investigation due to his ties to Gutierrez and the apartment.
Stout and Stankoski have filed EEOC complaints. They told reporters the state's EEO representative to Dann's office acknowledged a problem and told them the office would do anything they wanted to resolve the matter quietly.

If this were the Rockets' horseshoe team, a state championship no doubt would be on the horizon.
Unfortunately, close doesn't count in basketball.
At 7-13 on the season, the Rockets have had some bad luck, some bad breaks and, honestly, some bad decisions.
Oh so close, oh so many times. The Rockets have lost 10 games by fewer than 10 points, and nine of those by fewer than 5. And only one time did they win a game by five points or fewer.

Bruce Gambrel pointed out to Keegan Kaelin how to use a machine at the Jefferson County Technical College Shelby County campus on Wednesday.
In a time when many local industries are down sizing, the local technical college is adding on to the industrial programs it offers for local students.

Man jailed for sexual abuse of juvenile
A local man has been arrested an sex-abuse related charges involving a juvenile.

An accident on I-64 West in Shelby County early Saturday morning claimed the life of an Ohio woman who was killed when her car hit a tractor-trailer head-on and burst into flame, Kentucky State Police said.
Patricia L. Browning, 28, of Ironton, Ohio, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident by Shelby County Chief Deputy Coroner Jeff Ivers.
The accident happened at about 12:30 a.m., when Browning's black, 1988 Chevy struck a guard rail on the westbound side of I-64 at the 26-mile marker, according to KSP.
For those of us already humbugged by how Christmas has changed over the years, we now have to recognize that our most precious holiday has devolved into, of all things, a leading economic indicator.
So much is made of the economy during Christmas season that it seems who is spending how much with whom is discussed almost as much as Santa and far more than Jesus, which is more than a little bit wrong.
Western Kentucky University guard A.J. Slaughter became a verb Sunday night in Nashville.
This former Shelby County Rocket was instrumental in leading the Hilltoppers over the No. 3-ranked University of Louisville on Sunday, and on ESPN's SportsCenter the anchor referred to the Cardinals as getting "A.J. Slaughter-ed."
Shelbyville Police are asking for help in solving two burglaries that happened on
Sometime between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Monday, a home on the 4900th block of
Bell Avenue was burglarized while the resident was not at home, according to
police. Items stolen included a handgun and a laptop computer.
The value of the items is estimated at nearly $1,400.
The other burglary happened in the same time period on Cyprus Court, and a laptop computer was taken from that residence also.
With record low mortgage rates, it sounds like now is the time to buy a home or refinance your mortgage. But how long will that value last?
Brady Webb, a Certified Mortgage Planner with American Mortgage Solutions in Shelbyville, said he is optimistic.
"We're probably going to see mortgage rates continue to slide sideways and possibly move lower over the first two quarters of 2009," Webb said.
A Jeep was badly vandalized last weekend on Nora Drive and police are asking for the public's help in solving the crime.
Sometime late Saturday night or early Sunday morning someone busted the windshield on a Jeep Wrangler with a brick and cut all four of its tires and the spare, according to Shelbyville Police. The brick was also used to damage the body of the Jeep, which was parked next door to where the owner lived. Police say the owner of the Jeep does not know who or why someone would have done this to his vehicle.

With a passion for boating the waters of Lake Minnetoka to take in views of the region's natural beauty and lush green landscapes, Wayzata Bay Charters' owners charter their 60-foot lake cruiser to make the experience accessible to all. The owners decked out their two-level cruiser—which can host up to 60 people—with a full bar, two satellite TVs, satellite radio, a 2,000-watt sound system, and enough helium balloons to keep both the boat and the party afloat. Believing a jaunt on the lake makes for an ideal event whatever the occasion, they've designed packages specifically for weddings and bachelorette parties, and they still offer public cruises to assure everyone has a chance to take to the water.
Dedicated to the preservation and celebration of the state?s storied past, the Minnesota Historical Society dutifully curates 26 historic sites and museums that help visitors delve into days of yore?from the Forest History Center in Grand Rapids to the Jeffers Petroglyphs in Comfrey and Split Rock Lighthouse on the North Shore.
Explore the Minnesota History Center?s collection of artifacts, local artworks, and hands-on exhibits at the History Center in St. Paul, from Civil War battle flags to Prince's suit from Purple Rain. Temporary exhibits include American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition, on display through March 16, and Toys of the '50s, '60s and '70s, opening May 24. Mill City Museum in Minneapolis chronicles the linked histories of the flour industry, Minneapolis, and the Mississippi River, sending visitors through history as they traverse each floor on an eight-story elevator ride that depicts a working day at the mill. As a bonus, baking-lab demonstrations produce balmy bread samples and historically accurate stomach rumbles.
Though they've only been leading paddling tours for a few years, the certified guides of Stand Up MN have already helped thousands of people explore the Twin Cities' local waterways up close. After equipping their guests with standup paddleboards, personal flotation devices, and ample training, they embark on trips along the quiet stretch of the Mississippi River that cuts through their urban landscape.
From St. Paul, groups glide under bridges and pass idyllic natural areas—and from Minneapolis, they can take a break from paddling to high-five low-flying birds from a rope swing over the water. Stand Up MN also leads extended paddling tours to Taylors Falls, where state parks and tumbling waterfalls abound. These excursions are complemented by the company's special events, which include speed-dating events at which participants spend most of the time hanging out while paddleboarding.
Corralling groups for a night on the town can be difficult, as partygoers must wait for everyone to finish their drinks and grab their stuff before moving on. The team at Amsterdam Pedals helps smooth out such roadblocks with their 16-person pedal bar?a group bicycle outfitted with comfortable, inward-facing seats, a table, a cooler for BYOB drinks, and a driver to steer the whole rig. The trips cruise around the easy slopes of three signature routes, which can hit a variety of hot spots downtown, pubs and restaurants on 7th Street, or parks, where passengers can uproot and steal valuable trees. Guests can adjust their seats to suit their leg span, accommodating heights of 5 feet and taller, with three bench seats available for shorter clients. Tours can meander about St. Paul until 2 a.m., when the pedal bar must be returned to Amsterdam Bar & Hall.
Capital City Trolleys charters a fleet of vintage-style vehicles and trolleys, ushering up to 20 passengers through New Orleans's historical and picturesque streets. Certified drivers cart revelers to their desired destinations during chartered rentals, cultivating a memorable corporate outing or ride to the airport. For weddings, Capital can transport brides, grooms, and ring-bearing bulldogs around town in a classic 1952 Bentley Mark VI luxury car.
If Taste Twin Cities only had one metropolitan area to visit, the variety of food options would already be outstanding; with two, it's a culinary treasure trove. And that's exactly what participants find on these jaunts?which have made quite a name for themselves in the local press. In Minneapolis proper, groups stroll along on the Minneapolis Riverwalk Tour, sampling food such as barbecue sliders, nibbles from the city's first Thai restaurant, and cheese curds as the guide regales them with architectural and cultural knowledge. The Brewery Tours, meanwhile, take groups on a guided tour of an assortment of local breweries, where they sip eclectic brews and learn about the beer-making process.
Over in St. Paul, visitors board a coach bus for the Chocolate & Wine Decadence Tour, where they pair those titular items together and sample truffles that Oprah called "the best truffles in the country, possibly the world!" Then there's the River Road Winery Tour, which takes groups to three area wineries where sip samples and learn about the winemaking process, which includes humanely putting grapes to sleep before crushing them.

Mandakrisna lashes out at YSR Congress
The MPRS president, Mandakrishna Madhiga has lashed out at the YSR Congress party alleging that they (scheduled castes and tribes) would further be suppressed in case people vote for YSR Congress. The revolutionary tour kick started against the political parties in the state by MPRS has reached Kandukuru on Friday where Mandakrishna said that along with TDP and Congress, one should not forget that Jaganmohan Reddy was also an anti-dalit. He has called upon people to vote aiming at Ambedkar's rule.
Also, he said MRPS would become an alternative political party in 2014. He urged the backward and scheduled sections to ensure that they vote for MRPS. He has also lashed out at several other leaders who according to him promised that they would uplift the backward sections and later joined YSR league.
He has alleged that the Congress and TDP did injustice to the poor and backward sections in all possible ways. To make a point, he has alleged that while individuals such as Chandrababu Naidu, Ramoji Rao and Murali Mohan gave away hundreds of acres to the people from their community, Rajasheakra Reddy donated thousands of acres of government lands to the people from his community.
Among the chief ministers who ruled Andhra Pradesh, he has not seen before an inefficient chief minister like Kiran Kumar Reddy, he added. He later offered floral tributes to Ambedkar at his statue. (Phani)
