Two fire calls in January
To date in this new year of 1987 the
Ripley Fire whistle has sounded twice.
The more recent one was last Thursday
morning January 22 at 8:30 just as the boys
and girls were crossing the main intersec-
tion on their way to school and stopping for a
couple of minutes to see which way the red
fire truck would go and we were doing the
same thing.
Well the truck went south to the home of
Mrs. Bogues - about a block and a half from
the fire station. It was a chimney fire and
they had it out and back in one hour.
Answering that call were firemen Bob
Johnston, Dan MacDonald ( Blake St.) Bill
Robinson, Brian Pollock and Don
Peterbaugh.
The first fire alarm was at one o'clock
( noon) on Monday January 12, 1987 - a
chimney fire at the home of Heinz. Mueller
on Heather Drive in Huronville south, Kin-
cardine. Firemen answering that call were
Chief ,Rod MacDonald, Bob Johnston, Chris
Anger, Doug Martyn, Jack Scott, Bill Robin-
son, Dan Fry, Ed McGillivray, Brian
Pollock, Dan MacDonald (Ripley) and Don
Peterbaugh.
Happy Hearts held dance
Last Thursday evening, Jan. 22, from 8 to
10:30 p.m. the Happy Hearts Seniors held a
dance in the Ripley Legion Hall. They were
fortunate in picking their nate just before
the snow storm of this winter took over.
Few words on caffeine
Passing on a bit of information on cat'feine
- it is a white powdery or crystalline
substance in coffee, tea, colas, cocoa, and
hocolates. If you cut these out from early
morning on through a day you can get
withdrawal symptoms ranging from a
sleepy feeling to. a throbbing headache.
Adenosine is a natural inhibitor of nerve
signals and Caffeine being a cousin in
chemical structure can take its place.
Looking at our text on human physiology`
we had just about given,up on the understan-
ding of how caffeine works, but we think
that caffeine steps in' to take the place of
adenosine which gets used up and so gens the
action going until the adenosine level gets
built up.
ATP - standing for Adenosine (A), the T
for 3, P for PO4 in ordinary chemistry.
Now if we put C for Caffeine it would be
CTP hence the chemical equation for
muscular energy. When we move any part
of the body ordinarily Adenosinetriphospate
breaks 'up into Adenosinediphospate along
with hydrogen phospate -I- energy for mus-
cle contraction. ATP ADP + H3PO4 -±
energy. Now put C for caffeine and you have
the first of four equations in the use of caf-
feine. Thus it is muscle work beyond where
they would naturally stop if caffeine was not
introduced into the body. So extra energy --�
extra pep then more wastes after a while. So
one makes the muscle cells work beyond
where they want to stop and get rid of
wastes.
Now a comparison of coffee, tea, cola, and
chocolate in the amounts of caffeine: 1 cup
of regular coffee has 100 milligrams of caf-
feine or 1/10 of a gram, 1 cup of tea has 40
milligrams so you can drink two and a half
cups of tea to get the 100 mg for a cup of cof-
fee, and 25 mg of caffeine in a small
chocolate bar.
