(photo/Pat Bolen) OPP had some assistance monitoring traffic over the Victoria Day weekend. The black panther was sitting in a parked cruiser on Bluewater highway for 12 hours. Police say the highly visible car, with the stuffed animal inside, was just enough to get traffic to slow down in both directions. OPP believe their increased presence over the holiday weekend was a major success. There were 20 traffic complaints, 19 crashes involving minor injuries and no fatalities. Officers issued 156 speeding tickets and several other tickets for various violations. (photo/submitted) r Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello There's a new "medical" term devised recently. It is cyberchondriac. It is defined as a person who looks for health information on the Internet. About 51% of us are cyberchondriacs, but the number doesn't appear to be increasing. Men who use their laptop computers on their lap, run the risk of raising the temperature of their scrotum, which could have an effect on their ability to conceive a child.

Back in 1897, heroin began to be marketed as a powerful painkiller. At that time, morphine, another narcotic from the opium, was already in use. Heroin was much stronger and found much use as a powerful cough suppressant to help those with chronic bronchitis, pneumonia and tuberculosis. It took about 20 years for its powerful addictive potential was discovered. Allergies are common at this time of year. If your allergies are worse in April and May, it could be due to tree pollen. If allergies flare up in May to mid-July, it's probably grass pollens that are the culprit. Weed pollens can cause allergies from late August through the fall. r..
