Most daypacks are used on camping and hiking trips. If you are looking for a more heavy-duty pack, shop hiking backpacks from Kelty, Field & Stream and more.
What is a daypack?
Daypacks are used for single-day hikes and are designed to be compact and lightweight. With the capacity to carry supplies for a single day, a typical day pack has a capacity around 2,000 cubic inches or between 30 and 50 liters.
Designed for shorter trips, hiking daypacks are intended to carry lighter gear using a soft-backed or frameless design. Hikers will find that these packs will include features that make their excursions much more pleasurable like:
Daypacks are useful for a variety of activities including hiking, biking and commuting, each of which has its own set of preferred features. Identify the activity that you plan on pursuing most often and then determine the features that may mean the most to you. Some include:
Rather than choose the largest model, focus instead on a size that will provide the capacity to fit your needs and length of your hike.
The shape and profile of a day hiking pack can have a big impact on how it performs, so you should evaluate each pack based on how it matches your preferred activity. For example, a bicyclist needs a small, unobtrusive daypack that will allow freedom of motion, while a bulkier daypack for a hiker would be acceptable.
Selecting daypacks is fairly subjective and somewhat challenging, however consider some of these tips to help you climb the learning curve faster:

Spring 2001
Volume 5 Number 3
I thoroughly enjoyed Robert Dykstra's article "To Be Boring or to Be Bored: That Is the Question" [winter 2001]. I read it and reread it, clipped it, sent it to my friends. Dykstra encouraged me in my efforts to "play" with the text and to become vulnerable to it. I look forward to reading his book.

Case of the Missing Baptismal Font
Thank you for your article, "All Things Bright and
Beautiful," about the renovation of Miller Chapel [winter 2001]. While everything you wrote was well done and interesting to me (as I believe my wife and I chipped in the grand amount of about $25!), it was what you didn't write that leads me to this further inquiry.
While the commentary on the pulpit, table, and new tracker organ was well done, I missed any mention of the baptismal font. If we are to focus on Word and Sacrament, given our Reformed theology, the baptismal font surely should have been part of the renovation project. Would you be so kind to inform me and, if you feel it worthy, the rest of your readers about the baptismal font? Is there one, and if so, where is it located?
Again, thank you for your continuing excellent work on inSpire.

editor's note:
We asked James Kay, PTS professor of homiletics and liturgics and chair of the renovation committee, to respond to Mr. Herr's letter.
The committee discussed, at more than one meeting, the appropriateness of a permanent baptismal font for Miller Chapel. The argument was made that there would be both catechetical and pedagogical value in having the symbol of Christian initiation visibly present in the chapel. It would reinforce within the Seminary the importance and ecumenical significance of baptism, and it would provide a place where students could be trained in how to administer the sacrament. On the other hand, Miller Chapel is not a parish church under the governance of a session, which, in Presbyterian law, is the court that admits persons to baptism and, thereby, to church membership. There was also a concern that the placement of a font in Miller Chapel would encourage the practice of private baptism at variance with Presbyterian doctrine. For this reason, no permanent font was installed in keeping with the theological heritage of the Seminary.
Tennent Tales
I enjoyed your article on Nancy
Schongalla-Bowman [winter 2001]. Did you know that I was the roommate who also kept my clothes in the kitchen cupboards? I have enjoyed swapping Tennent stories with one of my dearest friends in our church who also lived there—almost forty years before me. Bertha Murphy, one of our saints, was married to a student at Princeton in the early 1940s. She comes to pray with us every Sunday before we preach [in West Hills Presbyterian Church, Omaha, Nebraska]. I have passed on a number of issues of
inSpire to her, and she has enjoyed them.

Striving for Peace
I am pleased to send you my greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I would like to thank you very much for sending me the winter 2001 issue of
inSpire, which I enjoyed reading very much. It was also very kind and considerate of you to include in the magazine my statement at the United Nations last September.
In this troubled world of ours, it is very often exceedingly difficult to fashion peace from among conflicting interests and desires. However, by subduing our hearts and minds to God, who is himself the fount of peace, we have to continuously seek his guidance and strive for peace.

Prayers from India
Greetings to you in the most precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Our pastor gave me a copy of inSpire, and I enjoyed reading the magazine. It is very informative, inspiring, and beneficial for my spiritual growth. Your magazine is so spiritually uplifting and full of guidance that one wants to read it all before putting it down. I am so grateful for your ministry. I earnestly pray to our Lord that
inSpire grows so that it might change lives and become a blessing to this broken world.
We have a prayer group at Newasa named "Maranatha Prayer Group." There are many young members in our group. We are preaching and teaching the message of Jesus Christ to the people. Three of our members have completed theological education and are now serving the Lord in Mumbai City. This year, one of our members is studying in a Bible college. Please pray for our group and for me. We are continuously praying for you and your ministry. God bless you.

Family Ties
Having recently given a gift to the Miller Chapel Restoration Fund in memory of my parents, the Reverend Thomas Bancroft and Grace Reifsnyder, the [winter 2001] issue of
inSpire has inspired me. What a fascinating and interesting issue. We appreciated the photos as well as the history and other information.
I remember back in 1937 while traveling from Mexico City to our furlough in Closter, New Jersey, our whole family (children ages 11 to 2!) stayed with the Mackays for a couple of days! We didn't realize how important the event was—just friends, you know! And there have been many more occasions for relationships. John Sinclair's book is a treasure in our home.

Thanks, and a Correction
Thank you for the most recent [winter 2001] issue of
inSpire. It is a lovely issue with many fine articles and a very nice piece
about Robert Speer and my book
Robert E. Speer: Prophet of the American Church. You did a good job describing my interest in
Speer and the book. I have no complaint, but one notice, which came from a friend whose father graduated from PTS in the 1930s and was a good friend of Dr. Mackay's.
In the article, you wrote that Speer heard Mackay lecture in Edinburgh. In fact, it was Mackay who heard Speer lecture there. It is a rather minor thing, but I thought I would note it since someone called me about it.
I owe a serious debt of gratitude to you and others on the PTS staff for helping to move this book forward and to share it with other potential readers.
Thank you again.

A Healing Connection
The article titled "Hills of Home"
[End Things] in your winter 2001 issue of inSpire was very moving.
In this essay written by David Burr, Princeton Class of 1950, for a writing course for seniors in North Carolina, he wrote about a special place in his life. He described how he was led to Princeton Seminary after returning home from the war in 1945, only to find that his mother had died, his father had remarried, and some of his friends had been lost to the tragedy of the war.
His description of Princeton as a quiet and calm place that brought peace and rest to him at this low point in his life also gave me a sense of peace and serenity. As I read the article, I realized that I also was experiencing a difficult time in my life, as my granddaughter Olivia had just been hospitalized for pneumonia. It was while I was praying for her recovery, that I came across this article. I was reminded that God will take care of us and our loved ones, if we just learn to put our trust in him. As for my granddaughter, I am thankful to say she is fully recovered.
May God bless your work in this inspirational magazine.

You are really to be commended for the excellence of your magazine. Each issue continues to be even better in format and content. There is a fine mix of crafted subjects. "All Things Bright and
Beautiful" in the most recent issue [winter 2001] was superbly written and very informative and makes me eager to come to the Seminary to see the chapel. Thank you for your fine work.

Government Orders

Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski—Mitis, QC
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question, but he is confusing the Unity Office with the Information Office. The Unity Office comes under the responsibility of the Prime Minister or the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, while the Minister of Canadian Heritage is responsible for propaganda.
But to answer his question more directly, what is needed in this House is for people to show us some respect and stop interrupting us all the time. What is needed is for people to stop provoking us with the Canadian flag. It should be used appropriately. People should be more open-minded and respectful toward Quebeckers and toward members in the House, because we were elected democratically like everyone else. We have a job to do, and if they keep on like this, it will not bring about unity, but rather give us one more reason to leave.
The Budget
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
George Proud Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I will wait until the wind goes down.
I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for Etobicoke—Lakeshore.
I am very happy to finally see that a balanced budget has arrived. Canadians have been adding to the nation's mortgage for 27 years and now, because of our collective efforts, we are actually starting to pay it off and to pay off the debt. I will admit that it will take quite a few years to do this, but at least it is a start and we are now out of the blocks.
Before I comment on the initiatives contained in this budget, I want to briefly point out that we have not forgotten about job creation. In fact, the focus of this budget is on jobs, future jobs. We already have a proven track record of job creation and now we want it to continue by increasing access to the knowledge and skills required in the new economy.
Over the last four years, the number of jobs have grown by over one million. From 1997 alone, 372,000 new jobs were created, all of them full time and in the private sector. The unemployment rate fell to below 9% in December, and while that is not near a satisfactory number, the improving trend is clear and it will continue well into the future.
The federal government cannot ignore global pressures. Canada is part of a fast changing, competitive, interdependent world economy, an economy that is increasingly knowledge based, but this is not only because of the new high skill jobs in the high tech industries. There has already been a steady rise of skill requirements in all sectors of the economy and in most types of jobs.
We know not all Canadians are in a position to access the knowledge and skills they will need throughout their lifetime to find and to keep good jobs. Barriers, most often financial barriers, reduce access to post-secondary education for many. That is why this government has created this education budget. This budget is about enhancing the equality of opportunity in gaining the knowledge and skills for today and tomorrow.
The centrepiece of our increased support is the Canadian millennium scholarship foundation. Through an initial endowment of $2.5 million, the arm's length foundation will provide scholarships to over 100,000 students each year over 10 years, starting in the year 2000.
However, the most important aspect—and I know this is important to all Canadians and indeed to all Prince Edward Islanders—is that Canadians of all ages, studying full time or part time in publicly funded universities, community colleges, vocational or technical institutions and CEGEPs, will be eligible for these scholarships.
Moreover, the foundation will have the authority and the discretion to include privately funded institutions. This has a much broader scope than any existing support.
In recognition that many students' needs are not fully met by scholarships and student loans, the government is also introducing Canada study grants. Beginning in 1998-99, grants will go to over 25,000 needy full and and part time students who have children or other dependants.
Student debt has become a very heavy burden for many Canadians.
Last December federal and provincial first ministers agreed that something must be done to reduce the financial burden on students. They asked the federal government to take action in this budget and it is.
First, all students will get tax relief, a 17% federal credit for interest paid on their student loans. Second, we are increasing the income threshold used to qualify for interest relief on Canada student loans by 9%, making more graduates eligible. Third, we are introducing graduated interest relief which will extend assistance to more graduates further up the income scale.
Fourth, for individuals who have used 30 months of interest relief we will ask the lending institutions to extend the loan repayment period to 15 years. Fifth, if after extending the repayment period to 15 years a borrower remains in financial difficulty, there will be an extended interest relief period. Finally, for the minority of graduates who still remain in financial difficulties after taking advantage of these measures, we will reduce their student loan principal by as much as half.
Together these new interest relief measures will help up to 100,000 more borrowers and over 12,000 borrowers a year will benefit from debt reduction when this measure is fully phased in.
Many Canadians who are already in the workforce want to take time away from work to upgrade their skills through full time study. We have introduced measures to help them overcome financial barriers. Beginning in January of next year Canadians will be able to make tax free withdrawals from their RRSPs for lifelong learning.
To preserve the role of the RRSPs in providing retirement income, the amounts withdrawn will have to be repaid over a 10 year period. In many respects this plan resembles a successful homebuyers plan.
Canadians oftentimes study part time to upgrade their knowledge and skills. We are proposing two new measures to help them. Beginning this year the education credit will be extended to part time students. This will benefit 250,000 Canadians.
In addition, for the first time parents studying part time will now be able to deduct their child care expenses. Currently only full time students are eligible. This new measure will benefit some 50,000 part time students.
Any long range plan to acquire knowledge and skills for the next century must look ahead to the students of tomorrow. The best way to help ensure children's future is to save for their education today. We want to establish a new partnership to help parents save for their children's future. That is why we are introducing the Canada education savings grant to make registered education savings plans even more attractive. Beginning in January we will provide a grant of 20% on the first $2,000 up to a maximum annual grant of $400 per child.
I want to point out that this does not take much to save for a child's education. For example, if a family contributes $25 every two weeks for a total of $650 a year for 15 years, their child will have $4,700 available each year for a four year period of education. Of that amount almost $800 a year would be as a direct result of a Canada education savings grant.
The Canadian opportunity strategy also addresses the urgent problem of youth unemployment. The actions we are taking will give young Canadians the job experience they need and provide support for those who have dropped out of school and face particularly tough challenges. First, the budget provides—

John Harvard Charleswood—Assiniboine, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a life well lived and a life that resonated the values of Canadians to the world.
I speak of William Ormond Mitchell, a Canadian literary icon who passed away yesterday at the age of 83.
When I worked in television I had the honour of interviewing Mr. Mitchell. I remember his earthy charm, sincere warmth and salty wit. Moreover, W. O. Mitchell possessed the rare ability to write about his perceptive insights into the human condition. He was indeed a product of his prairie environment, genuine and true to himself and the world around him.
Although he will be missed, W. O. Mitchell has left Canadians with a better sense of who they are and for that legacy he will be long remembered.
On behalf of all members I convey condolences to his family.
Grammy Awards

Keith Martin Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canada came out a winner last night at the Grammy awards in New York. We can all be proud of the outstanding achievements of our talented artists.
British Columbia's Sarah McLachlan came away with two awards. Bryan Adams was nominated for best male duet. Ottawa's Alanis Morrisette won best long term video. Montreal's Céline Dion was nominated for best duet. Daniel Lanois won for best album in contemporary folk.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. Our nation has literally thousands of talented artists: the Tragically Hip from Kingston, the wonderful fiddler Natalie McMaster from Nova Scotia, Leahy from Ontario, Terri Clark and Paul Brandt from Alberta, the Buicks from Calgary, the Great Big Sea, Lorena McKinnet and her beautiful voice, as well as the wonderful Susan Aglukark.
On behalf of all of us in the House and on behalf of the Reform Party we congratulate the winners of last night and the winners to be from our great pool of talented artists in Canada.

Mr. Speaker, at this very moment the city of Edmonton is honouring all its Olympic athletes. At this time I would ask all members of the House to join with me in congratulating Pierre Lueders for his gold medal bobsled run, Judy Diduck and Fiona Smith for women's ice hockey, Kevin Quintilla for biathlon, Ian Danney for bobsleigh, Jaime Fortier for women's cross-country skiing, and Curtis Joseph for men's ice hockey.
The stunning victory of Pierre Lueders is ever more remarkable in that he won a gold medal in his first ever world cup race in 1992. Now, just four years and 24 world cup medals later, Mr. Lueders has become the second Canadian bobsled driver to bring home Olympic gold.
Congratulations to all our Olympic athletes.

Joe McGuire Egmont, PE
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure today to remind members of the House and all Canadians that 1998 is the international year of the ocean.
This is not only a year of celebration but also a year to raise public awareness about the role oceans play in our daily lives, even for those Canadians who live far from coastlines.
More than 70% of our planet's surface is covered by water and what we do inland makes a difference to the oceans' health.
Oceans regulate the world's climate and provide more oxygen than the rain forests.
Despite the importance of the oceans to every living being on the planet, they are often taken for granted.
By celebrating the international year of the ocean we can learn more about the three oceans that surround us and include all our communities in efforts to protect them.
We must raise awareness of the importance of this natural resource by involving municipalities, governments, youth groups, neighbours and friends.
It is encouraging that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has taken a leading role on ocean related issues and that the department is seeking collaboration with oceans stakeholders toward the development of Canada's oceans strategy. The goal is to have a strategy in place by the year 2000.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Paul Mercier Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Lower Laurentians is a disaster-stricken area, hit by job losses in various industries.
After the problems with Kenworth and the transfer of international flights out of Mirabel, now the GM plant in Boisbriand has not only undergone further downsizing but it may well close down because the models produced there do not sell.
Years ago, Ottawa gave this company a $110 million grant to create and maintain jobs. Now these jobs created at public expense are seriously threatened. Their loss would be disastrous for the region.
GM will be investing $14 billion in its plants as part of a worldwide re-equipment plan. But not one cent was earmarked for Quebec, even though refurbishing the assembly line would enable the plant to build different models.
The public is expecting the federal government to look into this issue, which causes much anguish and on which the future of our region depends, and to make representations to GM before it is too late.

Mr. Speaker, Canada is a very decent nation, capable of understanding, of diplomacy and of compromise. We are a very accomplished nation.
It was a Canadian who discovered insulin. It was a Canadian who invented the telephone. It was a Canadian who conceived of the emergency forces, not for war but for peace.
It was a Canadian who won two gold medals for speed skating in the Olympics.
This is not enough. We must continue to make every yesterday a vibrant and beautiful dream of happiness and every tomorrow a magnificent vision of hope. We must continue to make our voice heard clearly, distinctly and bravely.
Canada is a rare illustration that people from different backgrounds can live, learn and work alike, proud of our noble heritage, enriched by our diversity of talents and ennobled by our unity of vision. This is our responsibility. Let us—

Mr. Speaker, allow me to join with all Canadians in congratulating the successes of our artists last night at the 40th annual Grammy awards in New York City.
The number of Canadians represented at these awards reflects excellence in Canadian artists. The awards they won are prestigious international recognition of this talent.
Let me first congratulate Sarah McLachlan for winning both best female pop vocal performance and best pop instrumental. Let me also congratulate producer Daniel Lanois who shared awards with Bob Dylan for album of the year and contemporary folk album of the year.
Congratulations are due to Alanis Morisette for best long form music video and to folklore professor Neil Rosenberg for best liner notes.
Congratulations also to Céline Dion for her superb—

The Budget
Statements By Members

Guy St-Julien Abitibi, QC
Mr. Speaker, the budget tabled by the Minister of Finance is the best I have seen in a long time in this Parliament.
I have no hesitation in saying that it is better than all those that were tabled when I was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party. Indeed, I made a good choice when I joined the Liberal Party of Canada. I could see that the Liberal Party was committed to improving the quality of life of Canadians.
The finance minister's budget introduces and implements various measures designed to create a climate for continued economic growth.
The budget also provides for the elimination of the deficit, something we have not seen in 30 years. The Liberals' rigorous management, combined with the co-operation of all Canadians, has made it possible to resolve this serious problem affecting the future of our country.
I want to congratulate the Minister of Finance, and especially our Prime Minister, who leads his troops in an efficient and humane fashion, in the best interest of Canada. Our Prime Minister has set Canada on the road to prosperity and I wanted to underscore that.

Réal Ménard Hochelaga—Maisonneuve, QC
Mr. Speaker, since taking office in 1993, the Liberal government has never stopped implementing policies that have a negative effect on the poor.
In this regard, the National Anti-Poverty Organization released a report on the impact, on low income Canadians, of government spending cuts and other changes affecting health care and post-secondary education.
This report, sponsored by one of the most respected organizations active in the fight against poverty, includes two findings that are disturbing to say the least. First, the actual per capita value of federal cash transfers for social programs dropped by more than 40% between 1993 and 1997. Second, access to health care services is becoming increasingly dependent on one's ability to pay, rather than on the need for medical treatment.
When will the Liberals realize that the fight is against poverty, not against the poor?
Durham College
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Judi Longfield Whitby—Ajax, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank the Minister of Finance for highlighting Durham College in his budget speech.
Durham College was founded in 1967 and began with a brave and important mission, to create and offer the best in college programs and to help students embark on successful careers.
Durham College has succeeded in this mission and is now one of the premier education institutions in Ontario, serving over 42,000 students.
It provides a true integration of the traditional workplace mandate of colleges and the traditional scholarship mandate of universities, thus providing the best of both worlds to students, employers and taxpayers.
With the announcement of the millennium scholarship fund, the RESP program and the Canada studies grants, more students will be able to take advantage of Durham College's vision for the future.
I congratulate Gary Polonsky, president of Durham College, who was in the gallery for the budget speech, for his contribution to the future of our young people.

Although the Senior National Team selection process and events for 2009 were recently posted online, USA Taekwondo has not yet finalized the 2010 process. However, it is important for athletes to note that the 2009 qualifiers, whether regional or state leading up to and including Senior Nationals in Austin, will be an integral part of the 2010 Senior National Team selection process. It will be proposed that the top 4 finishers from Austin will compete in a team trial or a team selection camp in January 2010 at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs together with athletes receiving performance waivers such as the 2009 National Team members. The Olympic qualification system is currently being formulated and discussed and member input will be solicited in the near future. World Championship and possibly other major international competition results will surely play a part in USAT's selection of weight categories for the 2012 Olympics, so it is obviously important for our aspiring Olympians to be fully engaged in the 2009 and 2010 Senior Team Qualification process. The World Taekwondo Federation has not released a competition schedule for 2010 but it appears likely there will be some major WTF international event held in 2010.
On the Junior side this year's team will be selected after the top finishers from the Junior Olympics in Austin fight off at a team trial in August at the Olympic Training Center. That team will compete in the PATU Junior Championships in Curacao in the fall of 2009. Depending upon the dates of the Junior Worlds scheduled in 2010 in Tijuana, Mexico, USAT may have to hold a Junior Open Black Belt tournament in January 2010 at the OTC leading up to a team trials in the spring much like we did in 2008. Junior Worlds are usually staged in May so there is a need to choose a team prior to Junior Olympics. Like this year, there will be a separate international event for the Junior Team selected at 2010 Junior Olympics.

Legacy Bike Tour
Statements by Members
1:55 p.m.
Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the Prince Edward Island Women's Institute on the success of the 2002 Legacy Bike Tour.
This week-long event attracted 135 cyclists from across Canada and beyond who cycled 60 kilometres a day, beginning at East Point and concluding at North Cape on September 13. That is tip to tip on Prince Edward Island.
This event raised $51,000 to help cover the cost of a videoscope machine for Prince County Hospital to assist in the early detection of colon cancer.
The Women's Institute has a long and proud history of working for island communities through fundraising efforts and promoting fitness and healthy living.
I offer congratulations to all the bikers, but especially so to the Tingley family, Rita Berrigan, Bertha Campbell and at age 84, Donald Deacon. Congratulations to the Women's Institute and the 135 cyclists for their efforts and a job well done.
Prairie Grain Farmers
Statements by Members
1:55 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
David Anderson Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Mr. Speaker, one week ago we made the House aware that the government is preparing to jail farmers for 25 to 125 days. Three weeks from now, they will be thrown into jail. Their crime? Taking small quantities of wheat across the U.S. border and selling it or giving it away without the permission of the Canadian Wheat Board.
It is appalling that in the 21st century, the government refuses to grant prairie farmers the same basic rights and freedoms enjoyed by grain farmers in the rest of the country. It is a matter of public record that when wheat was recently exported from Ontario without a licence, no legal action was taken. Why are prairie farmers facing fines and jail sentences over something that is winked at in other parts of the country?
Will the minister responsible finally listen and do the right thing, or is he actually prepared to jail Canadians for marketing their own wheat? The countdown continues. He has three weeks.
Renaud Bernardin
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Robert Bertrand Pontiac—Gatineau—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today to inform the House of the death of His Excellency Renaud Bernardin, ambassador for Haiti to Canada. Mr. Bernardin passed away on Friday, October 4, 2002, at 8 a.m., at the Centre hospitalier des Vallées de l'Outaouais, in Gatineau.
His Excellency Mr. Bernardin was appointed ambassador for Haiti to Canada in November 2001, a position he held at the Haitian consulate general, in Montreal.
After settling in Canada in 1967, he successively taught at Collège de Lévis, Laval University in Quebec City and Université du Québec in Chicoutimi. As a politician, he was instrumental in bringing about the shift toward democracy in his country. Among other positions held by Mr. Renaud Bernardin was that of director of the private secretariat of the first democratically elected President of Haiti, His Excellency Mr. Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
A service was held this morning in Notre-Dame Cathedral, in Ottawa. The Haitian community and the Canadian public in general have lost a valued asset. Haiti has lost a man of integrity, wisdom, respect and simplicity.
I invite the hon. members of this House to join me in paying tribute to him one last time.
National Family Week
Statements by Members
October 10th, 2002 / 2 p.m.
Mac Harb Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to proclaim October 7 to 13, 2002 as National Family Week.
This year the theme of National Family Week will focus on children and promoting partnerships to meet the needs of school age kids.
As parents, we all know that it takes a lot of energy, support and patience to be a good father or mother. None of us can do it alone all of the time. In fact, we need extended family, friends, neighbours and especially educators to create partnerships to ensure that our kids grow up in a happy and health environment.
In closing, I wish to thank Family Service Canada for its hard work in supporting Canadian families and children.
Gemini Award Nominees
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Sarmite Bulte Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, September 24 the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television announced the nominees for the upcoming 17th annual Gemini Awards to be held on Monday, November 4, which celebrate excellence in Canadian television.
I would like to congratulate this year's nominees. I especially congratulate my constituent, Mary Young Leckie, together with her partner, Heather Goldin Haldane, and their company, Tapestry Pictures, who have been nominated for five Gemini Awards for Tagged--The Jonathan Wamback Story .
I would also like to congratulate all the nominees for The Overcoat which was written, conceived and designed by Morris Panych, Ken MacDonald and Wendy Gorling, and originally produced for the theatre in 1999 by the Canadian Stage Company and the Vancouver Playhouse.
Once again, my congratulations to all nominees for their dedication to providing Canadians with excellent television programming.
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Lynne Yelich Blackstrap, SK
Mr. Speaker, climatologists have confirmed that warmer weather associated with El Nino is now under way and that Canada should begin to experience its influence by December. This will lead to a milder winter and possibly drier conditions in the prairie region next summer.
Drier conditions on the Prairies would mean a third year of drought. The government's response to this past summer's drought was slow and insensitive.
A third year of drought will have a devastating effect on farmers who have now seen their operations eroded over the past two years. Prairie farmers cannot withstand another year of off-grade grain samples, grasshoppers, low commodity prices, bankruptcies, farm foreclosures, herd dispersals and a dwindling water supply.
I urge the government to develop contingency plans to deal with the potential disaster of a third year of drought. Farmers should not be forgotten again.
North American Indigenous Games
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, this past summer more than 6,000 aboriginal youth gathered in Winnipeg for the 2002 North American Indigenous Games, a 10-day celebration of sport and culture.
Sport is an important part of aboriginal life and is a proven successful means by which to build healthy lifestyles, self-esteem and strong communities.
These games brought together the best of aboriginal sport, culture, heritage, community and spirit from throughout North America. The Government of Canada is proud to have supported this significant event.
I congratulate all those involved as volunteers, organizers and participants for the success of the 2002 North American Indigenous Games. These games contribute to the ongoing development of aboriginal sport and recreation in Canada.
I look forward to 2008 when Canada will again host this important event.
Taiwan's National Day
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Antoine Dubé Lévis-Et-Chutes-De-La-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, on October 10, Taiwanese worldwide celebrate their national day. Many celebrations will be taking place in Taiwan, the highlight of which will be a huge gathering in front of the presidential building in Taipei. Unfortunately, these peaceful celebrations will not ease the fears of the Taiwanese people, with more than 350 Chinese missiles, some equipped with nuclear warheads, apparently pointed at their island.
The European Parliament passed a resolution calling for the removal of these missiles, which threaten the safety of the entire region. The Bloc Quebecois adds its voice to that of the European Parliament in calling for an end to this threat.
Happy national day to all Taiwanese people.
Export and Import of Rough Diamonds Act
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
David Pratt Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank and congratulate the Minister of Natural Resources, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and other ministers who were involved in the introduction of Bill C-14.
This legislation brings Canada into compliance with the United Nations Kimberley process and sets up a diamond certification scheme for the import and export of rough diamonds. Under the scheme, diamonds would have to be transported in tamper-proof containers with a special certificate.
Many people, including Ambassador Bob Fowler, departmental officials and the NGO, Partnership Africa-Canada, have been instrumental in moving the Kimberley process forward.
Not only does Bill C-14 address an important issue of international peace and security, it also protects the Canadian diamond industry from the taint of conflict diamonds.
I urge all my colleagues in the House to join me in supporting this important legislation and giving it the speedy passage it deserves.
Age of Consent
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Darrel Stinson Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, last year the provincial justice ministers and the Canadian Police Association passed resolutions calling on the federal government to raise the age of consent for sexual activity to at least 16 years of age.
A 1999 Department of Justice paper states that the present age of consent is too low to provide effective protection for children from sexual exploitation by adults.
At the very least, the minister should increase the legal age of consent to 16. The sexual exploitation of our nation's children by adults should be one of the government's top priorities. Unfortunately, it is not.
God help the children of our country because the government surely will not.
The Royal Visit
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Sophia Leung Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, it was a special honour for me to meet Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip on October 7 in Vancouver.
The Queen was very friendly and interested to know about my political pursuits as a Chinese-Canadian MP. Just as the Queen said in Vancouver:
Here in British Columbia as elsewhere in Canada, you are crafting a multicultural society that provides a model for the rest of the world.
Indeed, British Columbia and Canada have been enriched by our diversity. Our beautiful people and breathtaking land are the true source of strength and harmony.
Kyoto Protocol
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, with 10 days left before the eve of a critical meeting of Canadian environment ministers on the Kyoto agreement, Canadians are asking: Where is the federal government? Why is the health minister silent on the crucial health benefits of signing Kyoto?
By the government's own admission, 16,000 Canadians die prematurely every year from intensifying air pollution. Elevated pollution means a greater chance of heart attacks and higher rates of respiratory diseases like asthma.
Ozone depletion is exposing us to higher radiation levels and the cancers and other consequences of that exposure.
Rising temperatures are ushering in new tropical diseases and contributing to nearly 100 deaths a year in Montreal and Toronto alone.
The Canadian Medical Association has voiced strong support for Kyoto, as have other health advocates, with one notable exception: the federal Liberal health minister.
Alberta physicians are willing to risk their jobs to speak out for Kyoto, why is the health minister not?
Centre intégré des pâtes et papier de Trois-Rivières
Statements by Members

Yves Rocheleau Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, the hard work, patience and in particular the perseverance of many people in the Mauricie area bore fruit this week when the federal government at last decided, close to a year and a half after the Government of Quebec's commitment, to pay its proper share of the funding for the Centre intégré des pâtes et papier de Trois-Rivières.
The CIPP is also funded by public Quebec bodies, namely the Cégep and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, as well as the pulp and paper industry, and is of vital importance to our region and to Quebec as a whole. It will bring together under one roof not just R and D activities, but also training activities for the next generation of workers in this sector, which will in future require even more specialized labour.
The completion of this project, which is international in scope, represents the outcome of some great teamwork for all of us in Mauricie. I am particularly pleased that this week's announcement falls almost two years to the day on the date on which the regional mobilization campaign was begun, a campaign in which I played a proud and active role.
Chartered Accountant Firms

Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, in response to the recent events on the world financial markets, federal and provincial regulators and Canada's chartered accountants have created a new system to oversee the auditors of public companies in Canada. This new body will require that Canadian chartered accountant firms undergo frequent and rigorous inspections and implement tighter quality control requirements.
This is good news for all Canadians who place their trust and their investment dollars in the many firms from coast to coast.
The new public oversight system is a step forward in efforts to ensure Canadians receive accurate information on corporate performance. Canadians deserve the peace of mind of knowing that their hard-earned money is working for them.
I am pleased that Canadian companies are spearheading this initiative to protect Canadian investments.
Safety Standards

Progressive Conservative
Rex Barnes Gander—Grand Falls, NL
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Transport is aware that 11 models of COSCO infant car seats fall short of government safety standards, 225,000 of these have been sold in Canada. These car seats fail to meet safety standards because they do not have sufficient padding around the child's head and neck. Its own investigation concluded that the car seats most likely caused the bruising that led to several complaints.
Purchasers now open the box to find a repair kit.
If I buy a bicycle tire and included is a patch kit, I would assume that I would not need it until I had a hole in my tire. The difference here is there is already a problem and there is nothing in the box stating that this product can hurt a child if it is not properly repaired.
Why was there no recall when his department identified the threat? Why is it that Transport Canada seems more concerned with big corporations over the safety of our children? Will the government admit its mistake and demand an immediate recall of this product?

Some beers are sneaky. When you drink an 8.5 percent alcohol by volume beer, you expect to be able to taste a little booziness. It gets a little dangerous (or fun) when you can't taste the booze because you can drink it a little too fast.
That's the case with Backlash Beer Company with Catalyst. This double IPA is at 8.5 percent ABV, but you can't tell. It has a big hop presence, but like any good double IPA, they do a good job of balancing it with a sweet malt backbone.
I've only had a small sample of it, but this is my favorite Backlash beer so far. It's a hop punch in the mouth, and sometimes you just need that.
A little bonus for dog lovers, the label features Stout the bulldog.

New Calumet police chief fired
Time not spent on love is wasted
To the editor:
God is Love. God offers His love through the saving grace of His Son Jesus Christ, by His suffering and shed blood on the cross as a sacrifice for sin of fallen man.
God offers eternity to sinners putting their faith in this belief. Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time, and sometimes it seems that her abandonment touched that strange mathematical point of endlessness, a point with no width, occupying no space.
Any time not spent on love is wasted. If you commit your life to God, you will always be in His Spirit.

On Valentine's Day, love is in the air at these fantastically romantic restaurants.
When it comes to Valentine�s Day, there are two types of revelers: those who embrace the idea of a full 24 hours of over-the-top romantic gestures, and those who would prefer a quiet evening at home. �The perfect evening of romance means something different to every diner,� concurs Caroline Potter. She should know. As chief dining officer of restaurant reservation hub OpenTable, it�s Potter�s job to size up both the food and ambiance of a place and report back to her readers (who annually compile their own list of the 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America). At Relish, a romantic meal consists of three key ingredients: great food, gorgeous surroundings, and a fantastic dining partner. Whether you wait until February 14th to pay a visit or make a reservation for tonight, here are our picks for The 15 Most Romantic Restaurants in America. The Dining Room at Little Palm Island Resort & Spa Location: Little Torch Key, FL Located less than 30 miles from Key West, it�s easy to see why Little Palm Island Resort & Spa is consistently ranked among the world�s best hotels. In a word? Seclusion. The resort�which can only be reached via seaplane or boat�has no televisions or telephones to speak of, and doesn�t allow guests under the age of 16. Which means that disconnecting from the outside world is a required activity. And if and when you do decide to amble out of the quiet sanctuary of your bungalow, The Dining Room offers you the choice of a candlelit dinner with a water view inside or an al fresco meal of �Modern Tropical� cuisine (think French meets Latin America) on the terrace, all courtesy of executive chef�Rolando "Roly" Cruz-Tara. Bottega Ristorante Location: Yountville, CA If you�ve ever watched one of celebrity chef Michael Chiarello�s Food Network shows and been left longing to be a guest at his NapaStyle table, Bottega Ristorante is your chance. �Bottega brings the bold flavors of Southern Italy to the heart of the Napa Valley,� says Chiarello of the warm and welcoming atmosphere. �As part of the historic Vintage Estates, one of the oldest wineries in the region, the restaurant's warm, rustic setting reflects its soulful style of Italian cooking, which celebrates the bounty of artisanal and house-made ingredients.� The restaurant�s outdoor Terrazzo, with two wood-burning stone fireplaces, is our pick for the most romantic seat in the house, where food tastes even better when shared. White Barn Inn Restaurant Location: Kennebunkport, ME A romantic winter weekend in Maine might be the only time where snowflakes are a welcome sight. And there�s no better place to take in a wintry scene than looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the restaurant of Kennebunkport�s White Barn Inn, which is comprised of two restored barns that date back to the 1820s. �The White Barn Inn Restaurant offers a truly romantic setting for guests to enjoy,� says chef Jonathan Cartwright. �The old barn features the perfect combination of rustic New England charm�with its beautiful and natural d�cor, exquisite table tops and its stunning floor to ceiling picture window. Couples can come and enjoy an intimate Valentine�s dinner consisting of the freshest ingredients�and an ambience set by our candlelit room, melodious piano tunes, and a fragrant choice of fine foods and wines.� Beach House Restaurant Location: Kauai, HI For those who prefer the sound of crashing waves to the tiny tapping of falling snow, you can�t get much closer to the ocean than at Hawaii�s classic Beach House Restaurant, which offers up a menu of innovative Pacific Rim cuisine and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean (schedule a reservation that coincides with the sunset for some truly amazing photo ops). �Take a slice of paradise, mix will with a generous helping of island hospitality and a bounty of Hawaiian flavors, and you�ll discover what nourishes the soul and brings you back for seconds,� says director of sales and special events Nicole Freeland of the property. The Cellar Location: Fullerton, CA Their marriage(s) may not have ended in fairytale fashion, but it�s at one of The Cellar�s intimate grotto booths (pictured) that Richard Burton proposed to Elizabeth Taylor. Yes, it�s that romantic. Opened in 1969, this Orange County institution offers impeccable European-style fine dining, but with a quirky California twist: the space was conceived, designed and built by the same guys who created Disneyland�s Pirates of the Caribbean ride. True to its name, the restaurant also boasts one of the country�s largest and most impressive wine lists. Canlis [caption id="attachment_300979" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Brian Canlis[/caption] Location: Seattle, WA �From the sweeping views of Lake Union and the Cascade Mountains to the impeccable cuisine and service, Canlis is unparalleled in Seattle for romantic dining,� says PR coordinator Ellen Kutscher. For more than six decades, Canlis has served as one of Seattle�s most popular special occasion destinations. It�s also one of the city�s most striking pieces of architecture; built in 1950, the waterfront restaurant�s exterior takes a page from Frank Lloyd Wright�s book of timeless design. And the food�which chef Jason Franey defines as �comfort geek��only adds to the warm and homey atmosphere. Circa 1886 Location: Charleston, SC Classic Southern hospitality gets a healthful twist from chef Marc Collins, who infuses his menu of Southern staples�including house-made Plantation Rice Bread Rolls�with international cuisine influences. �The ambiance paired with the food and the service make Circa 1886 the ideal restaurant for a romantic dinner,� says vice president of public relations Linn Lesesne of the restaurant�s old world charm. �The staff is so professional [that] they anticipate your every need without you even noticing them. And Chef Collins� creations are like their own romance story�all of the ingredients come together in perfect harmony.� Different Pointe of View Location: Phoenix, AZ You don�t have to be a guest of the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort to appreciate its signature restaurant. �Perched 1,800 feet above Phoenix, every table at Different Pointe of View has remarkable views of the city skyline and desert mountains,� says executive chef Anthony DeMuro. �Paired with our menu of fine dining, an extraordinary wine list and impeccable service, dining at Different Pointe of View delivers the ultimate romantic night out in Phoenix.� Castle Hill Inn Dining Room Location: Newport, RI Waterfront settings are a guaranteed recipe for romance. But add in the charm of an old New England lighthouse in a town that has long been a playground for America�s most well heeled diners and you�ve got Newport�s Castle Hill Inn. �Our elegant dining room at Castle Hill Inn offers stunning views of the ocean and a world-class culinary experience led by talented executive chef Karsten Hart,� says general manager Brian Young. �He showcases seasonal, local ingredients in a variety of thoughtful and unexpected dishes using cooking techniques from around the world. His creations, paired with our award-winning wine list and panoramic views of Narragansett Bay, make dining here an unforgettable event.� One If By Land, Two If By Sea Location: New York, NY New York City is certainly not without its more than fair share of romantic restaurants. But we're certainly not the only ones to think that this New American mainstay in the West Village is the most romantic of all. �What makes the restaurant so romantic to me is the rooms dimly lit with candlelight, the piano music, roses on the tables combined with wonderful food and wine and attentive service,� says owner Oscar Proust. �Each of the three dining rooms has its own unique ambience that makes it romantic: The Constitution Room is intimate and has two fireplaces, the mezzanine has cozy banquettes where couples can sit side-by-side and the main dining rooms have large windows that look out on to a beautiful garden.� The Little Door Location: Los Angeles, CA Once comfily ensconced at your table at The Little Door, it�s easy to forget that you�re in the middle of Los Angeles. With a menu full of rustic Mediterranean classics, courtesy of executive chef T. Nicolas Peter, and a style that evokes the English countryside, it�s the kind of place where the hustle and bustle of the outside world magically disappears. Of the four seductive seating areas, The Patio is our favorite. Villa Azur Location: Miami Beach, FL Half a block away from one of South Beach�s busiest strips of restaurants and nightclubs, Villa Azur�s unassuming exterior belies the over-the-top elegance that awaits patrons inside. Though the name suggests France, the menu offers an elegant mix of French Mediterranean meets Italy eats. The romance factor is only improved by the d�cor, a fashionable mix of vintage chandeliers and antique woods with sleek, contemporary furnishings. Of course, this being South Beach, nightlife lovers will appreciate the fact that as the night progresses and the dessert plates are cleared, a rotating lineup of international DJs turn this stop into a private nightclub. Broussard�s Location: New Orleans, LA Since 1920, Broussard�s has stood as one of New Orleans� first names in fine dining, with a thoughtfully prepared menu of local Creole and traditional French fusion food, served in an elegant 1834 mansion. Though the original husband-and-wife team who opened the restaurant have passed on, its tradition of romance�and culinary excellence�continue. Geja�s Cafe Location: Chicago, IL There�s nothing wrong with looking at a menu and telling a waiter which dish you�d like to order. But there�s something kind of special about playing a part in the preparation of the meal�even if it�s something as simple as dipping a stick full of meat or fruit into a piping hot cauldron of cheese or chocolate. It should tell you something about the Windy City�s favorite fondue restaurant that their website has a special photo gallery dedicated to �Engagements.� STARS [caption id="attachment_300985" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Chatham Bars Inn[/caption] Location: Chatham, MA Surf or turf? Why not opt for both at STARS, the flagship eatery at Cape Cod�s popular Chatham Bars Inn. You won�t need to wonder where one half of the restaurant�s signature dish�a tenderloin of beef topped with Chatham lobster�came from at this oceanfront eatery. �The elegantly romantic STARS dining room offers panoramic views of the Atlantic, all while serving the finest prime mid-western grain fed and dry-aged beef served with just-picked local ingredients from our own Chatham Bars Inn Farm,��says Michael Blaksteen, the resort�s director of food and beverage.

Leopard Pants
I wore these leopard pants here. I don't really wear them that often. But I like them and thought I should try wearing them to work today. I'm going the very casual route with a tee, oversized blouse and a striped scarf. I think these ankle boots add the edge I was looking for.
I've noticed that I've been wearing the same sunglasses every day. I need to switch it up. I have 10 pairs of sunglasses, for crying out loud. If not more. I could wear a different pair every day of the week. I'm just a creature of habit, I guess.
Have a wonderful weekend.

My favorite part is the shirt. It drapes so nice on you. Just like everything else you wear. Including your skin.
You have a nice weekend too! We're getting ready for someone to come paint our living room (I'd totally do it if I could, but we have sort of like a lofty area where no human arm can reach, so it needs a professional's touch), so I'll be cleaning forever. In case you were wondering what I was up to, you know...
P.S. We also don't agree on Harry Potter, and that's okay. I accept our differences!

Those pants are adorbs!! This whole outfit is fantastic. I would never think of putting any of these outfits together. I wish I had just an ounce of your style!
I laughed when I read the sunglasses bit. It's kind of like me and CDs. I have a hundred lying around my car, but I keep the same CD in over and over again for months, mostly because I'm lazy and/or I forget to change the CD until I'm already on the highway and its too late. Sigh.
Looking forward to seeing your other pairs. ;)

You Say What?
By Rebecca Teti
Tuesday: Open Forum
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
What to do when going gray? Personally, I like a bit of gray at the temples, as I think it looks distinguished. My husband mentioned that maybe I would like to color my hair? I am not upset, really, but also I am not excited about pouring chemicals on myself to darken my hair, either. Thoughts?
I started to go gray at age 17. It was noticeable enough that my friends commented on it in my freshman year in college. I didn't dye it for about 12 years. Around the age of 29, even my 90 year old grandmother was commenting about how I should fix it (my mom and sister had been bugging me since it started). While I don't love the chemicals, I think it makes a big difference about how people perceive me. When I started to work in the professional world, I noticed that it affected me negatively to not have it dyed. So I bit the bullet and started doing it. I just do a home dye job($9 every 2 months instead of $75 at the salon). I picked a color that matched my natural color closely - since I actually like my natural color Men can go gray gracefully, but unfortunately, women don't! And just for reference, my SIL who is 45 is completely gray and does not dye her hair. She has been asked too many times if her kids are her grandkids or if husband is her son. I think it's great that she doesn't dye it, but it drives her husband crazy when she gets those questions!
JM, Wow, that is early to gray...it is a shame that you found people treated you differently based on hair color. I am sorry to hear that. That is funny about your SIL (though I am sure she gets tired of people assuming she is grandma!)...my husband went gray early like his father & when he grows a beard (he does the big, bushy type each winter)...admittedly, he does look like a grandpa! He, too, has been asked more than once if our children are his grandchildren! ;) (though no one has asked if I was his daughter!)
I believe I can think of several things that are worse than a frumpy woman who doesn't take care of herself.
unknown (the first one), ignore the last 5 comments, they are obviously from Jeanne, a troll who has nothing better to do than berate those of us on this board who have real questions. I think it all comes down to how you feel. If you are OK with the grays then embrace them. If they bother you, there is nothing wrong with coloring them, and there are alternatives out there to harsh chemicals, call around to local salons and see if they offer them. I think you should do what feels right for you.
Thank you for the encouragement, as well as personal stories and advice. Personally, I feel *proud* - in a good way, of having lived this long, and don't mind the silvery gray of some of my hairs. My husband looks fabulous and young and handsome--works out, and takes care of himself, and has been dyeing his own hair for years. So, I want to look good and appear younger, partially for him, partially for my kids but it's not a big deal to me. I wear a bit of makeup each day, wash and brush my hair and fix it, dress in casual/dressy clothes when we are home/running errands and I often check with my oldest daughter to make sure I don't set off the *frump alarm*...I guess that's why I wrote in, just to see what other Wives and Mommies do...Thank you for responding to me
JM, I feel for you. I started going grey in my late teens too. Love those genetics! I definitely recommend henna if you want to naturally color your hair. There are different shades of henna and many will leave some red so choose carefully!

Police: Grenade's danger uncertain
April 30, 2007
Whether a grenade found Saturday in a Portales yard was live or not couldn't be determined, according to Portales Police Department spokesperson Lonnie Berry.
According to Berry, the condition of the grenade that had apparently been buried in the yard at Eighth and Chicago streets prevented personnel from Cannon Air Force Base's 27th Civil Engineering Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit from determining its status or identification.
"They (EOD) took the safest course of action and destroyed the grenade by blowing it up," Berry said.
The drama started shortly before 2 p.m. Saturday when Steve and Margaret Hodge turned the grenade up while tilling his father's yard in preparation for a new lawn.
The police cordoned off an area of a block on each side of the home and evacuated City Park and the Memorial Building for two hours. Shortly before 4 p.m. the Cannon EOD squad arrived and scooped up the device, returning things in the neighborhood to normal.
Berry said no other items were found when the yard was swept with a metal detector. He said the grenade's discovery is apparently just an isolated event, and police are not concerned about others turning up.
