Antarctica Probably a continent most of us won’t visit in our lifetime, Antarctica is home to the geographic South Pole, penguins, seals, a few plants, mites and bacteria, but no permanent human residents. Hardly shocking as it is the coldest and windiest continent on Earth. Temperatures range from a balmy high of 15°C in summer to a frigid -90°C in the winter. If you wanted to take a trip there though, head to west Antarctica as it’s slightly warmer than east Antarctica due to its lower elevation. Ice covers all but 2% of the land and averages 1.6 km thick in most places. Don’t worry about packing an umbrella as rainfall is limited to about 20 mm a year (which strangely enough makes Antarctica a dessert). If you do plan a trip to this chilly continent, there is no legal tender; therefore shopping will be nonexistent, so pack all the necessities. Fine dining is out of the question, although you may be able to catch some fish to eat or have dinner at one of the 40 permanent research stations throughout the continent. Speaking of which, be prepared to stay at a research station if you do head to Antarctica as these dwellings house about 4,000 scientists in the summer and 1,000 in the winter from about 30 different countries. Photo Truth Linda’s kindergarten class was visiting a police station on a field trip. Posted on a bulletin board were pictures of the 10 most wanted criminals in town. One child in the class pointed to a picture and asked if it really was a picture of the bad guy. “Yes,” said the policeman. “The detectives want to capture him very badly.” Linda spoke up and asked, “Then why didn’t you keep him when he was here to have his picture taken?”

Get Ready for Golf It’s finally here (or depending on where you live, it may have been here for a while...) and it’s time to hit the greens for another golf season. Aside from dusting off the clubs, ironing the paisley pants and stretching out the glove, preparing your body for the season is important too. Stretching your neck, arms, shoulders, sides and legs before a game will make you less likely to get injured and could also improve your swing. Hold each of the following stretches for 10-15 seconds and repeat twice on each side. Add additional stretches if a particular area of your body feels tight or if you’re prone to injury. Typical neck stretches include looking over your left and then right shoulder; trying to touch your ear to your shoulder to stretch the sides of your neck and finally bringing your chin to your chest. Arm stretches should focus on the wrists, forearms and triceps. Holding a club in front of your body, arms outstretched, extend your wrists down and up to stretch your forearms and wrists. Trying to touch the centre of your back while your elbow is pointing up will stretch the triceps. Stretch your shoulders and sides by holding a club in your hands above your head; arms straight. Then bend your body to the right and left without twisting. Hold the position when you feel a stretch in your side. Then, hold the club behind your back, parallel to the ground, with your arms straight. Raise the club away from your body while sticking out your chest. Complete the stretches by touching your toes; stretching your hamstrings by putting your foot on the golf cart and leaning forward from the waist and stretching your quadriceps and calf muscles with simple lunges. Now you’re ready to hit the greens. Enjoy the game!
