Left Lane Drivers

• Lately, some U.S. states have been cracking down on left-lane drivers. Even though they aren't speeding, these drivers are still getting tickets, and that can be confusing for them. If you aren't speeding, you're being safe, right? Of course not. This is an issue that plagues those drivers that know the basic rules of the road. Ever notice those pesky signs that say ‘Keep Right Except to Pass’, or how about ‘Slow Traffic Keep Right’. Those signs are meant to tell drivers that if you are in the left lane and there is a car behind you that wants to go faster, then be polite, obey the law and move over to allow them to pass. Better yet, unless you are passing /overtaking someone, remain in the right lane.

• But you’re doing over the limit already? Why should you get out of their way you ask?

• See video below explaining why driving slower than traffic is dangerous, even if you're doing the speed limit. Specifically, they talk about the left lane, and its purpose on our highways: Passing, not cruising. For your friends, family members, and co-workers who still don't get it, go ahead and show them this video. It's necessary viewing.

• That's because the biggest risk on the highway isn't speeding—it's speed differential. As the article explains, driving slightly slower than surrounding traffic is actually more dangerous than going slightly faster than traffic. That holds true regardless of the speed limit.

• Plus, since left-lane slowpokes force faster traffic to weave between lanes in order to pass them, they increase the danger on highways even more. In fact, lane changes are considered a factor in up to 10 percent of all highway crashes. The less we require drivers to switch lanes, the less likely they are to have a mishap.

• While not all states are as aggressive about it as Georgia, who are charging drivers, every state in the U.S. has some sort of law stating that the left lane is for passing only. In parts of Europe it’s actually illegal to overtake on the right of the roadway.

• The research is clear: We'd all be safer if everyone followed the left lane laws. Both due to speed differential but also a lesser chance of the increase in road rage.

• Perhaps Ontario & the rest of Canada should follow the U.S. to help keep our roads safe!

OIAA 2016 GOLF TOURNAMENT

Our annual OIAA Georgian Bay Golf Tournament was held at Shanty Bay Golf Club on Friday August 5, 2016. We had 133 golfers registered and 32 holes sponsors. The weather was almost perfect with a short 30 minute rain delay which cooled everyone down. We changed a few things up this year with the new location, more hole sponsor and wine draw which all seemed to be well received. The wine draw winner won over 50 bottles of wine and the Heads or Tails 50/50 draw at dinner was a lot of fun. We raised $6,700.00 for Special Olympics Barrie! Thank you so very much to everyone who participated, sponsored, donated and volunteered. Without you this tournament would not have been our most successful in years!

In a time when workers’ rights are taken for granted and even workers’ benefits have come to be expected, it’s no wonder that the origins of Labour Day are confined to the history books. What evolved into just another summer holiday began as a working class struggle and massive demonstration of solidarity in the streets of Toronto.

Canada was changing rapidly during the second half of the 19th century. Immigration was increasing, cities were getting crowded, and industrialization was drastically altering the country’s economy and workforce.As machines began to replace or automate many work processes, employees found they no longer had special skills to offer employers. Workers could easily be replaced if they complained or dissented and so were often unable to speak out against low wages, long work weeks and deplorable working conditions.

This is the context and setting for what is generally considered Canada’s first Labour Day event in 1872. At the time, unions were illegal in Canada, which was still operating under an archaic British law already abolished in England.For over three years the Toronto Printers Union had been lobbying its employers for a shorter work week. Inspired by workers in Hamilton who had begun the movement for a nine-hour work day, the Toronto printers threatened to strike if their demands weren’t met. After repeatedly being ignored by their employers, the workers took bold action and on March 25, 1872, they went on strike.

Toronto’s publishing industry was paralyzed and the printers soon had the support of other workers. On April 14, a group of 2,000 workers marched through the streets in a show of solidarity. They picked up even more supporters along the way and by the time they reached their destination of Queen’s Park, their parade had 10,000 participants – one tenth of the city’s population.The employers were forced to take notice. Led by George Brown, founder of the Toronto Globe and notable Liberal, the publishers retaliated. Brown brought in workers from nearby towns to replace

the printers. He even took legal action to quell the strike and had the strike leaders charged and arrested for criminal conspiracy.Conservative Prime Minister John A. Macdonald was watching the events unfold and quickly saw the political benefit of siding with the workers. Macdonald spoke out against Brown’s actions at a public demonstration at City Hall, gaining the support of the workers and embarrassing his Liberal rival. Macdonald passed the Trade Union Act, which repealed the outdated British law and decriminalized unions. The strike leaders were released from jail.

The workers still did not obtain their immediate goals of a shorter work week. In fact, many still lost their job. They did, however, discover how to regain the power they lost in the industrialized economy. Their strike proved that workers could gain the attention of their employers, the public, and most importantly, their political leaders if they worked together. The “Nine-Hour Movement,” as it became known, spread to other Canadian cities and a shorter work week became the primary demand of union workers in the years following the Toronto strike.The parade that was held in support of the strikers carried over into an annual celebration of worker’s rights and was adopted in cities throughout Canada. The parades demonstrated solidarity, with different unions identified by the colorful banners they carried. In 1894, under mounting pressure from the working class, Prime Minister Sir John Thompson declared Labour Day a national holiday.

Over time, Labour Day strayed from its origins and evolved into a popular celebration enjoyed by the masses. It became viewed as the last celebration of summer, a time for picnics, barbecues and shopping.No matter where you find yourself this Labour Day, take a minute to think about Canada’s labour pioneers. Their actions laid the foundations for future labour movements and helped workers secure the rights and benefits enjoyed today.

BLUE RIBBON DILL PICKLES RECIPE

Prep Time: 1 hr Total Time: 1 hr 30 minsServes: 32, Yield: 7 quart jars

INGREDIENTS7 wide-mouth quart jars, lids & ringsfresh dill, heads & several inches of stems shaken free of bugscucumber, washed, scrubbed1 garlic clove ( or more)

BRINE8 1/2 cups water2 1/4 cups white vinegar1/2 cup pickling salt

DIRECTIONS1. GET ALL OF THIS GOING BEFORE FILLING THE JARS.2. Wash 7 quart jars in hot, soapy water (or dishwasher), rinse and fill with hot water; set aside.3. Fill canning kettle half-full with hottest tap water; set on burner over high heat.4. TNR Doors Mike 674311 new In a medium saucepan, fit lids and rings together, cover with

water, bring to a simmer.5. In a large saucepan, bring water, vinegar and salt to boil; turn off the heat; set aside.6. FILL JARS: place a layer of dill at the bottom of each jar, along with one garlic clove (if used), then

TIGHTLY load the cukes into the jar to the NECK of the jar (depending on size you may get twonice layers with a few small cukes in the top--)---squeeze cukes into the jar tightly--uniform size

helps; add a few TINY spriglets of dill at the top, too, and another garlic clove if desired.

7. Once jars are loaded, pour in the brine leaving half-inch head space in each jar.8. Add lid and ring to each jar, tightening evenly.9. Place jars into canner with water JUST to the necks of the jars.10. Bring water ALMOST to a boil (about 15 minutes--depending on how fast it heats up).11. Remove jars, set on a dish towel on the kitchen counter, cover with another dish towel & let cool.12. Check for seal (indented lid), label jars or lids, store in cool dark cellar or cupboard.

NOTES: When washing/scrubbing cukes, sort them into piles by size. This really helps make your jars look nicer, if you have uniform sizes (and this impresses the judges too!). And makes for easier packing, too.
