---------------------
Now an important note from your East Gwillimbury Bulletin Magazine for August.
Why do Snapping Turtles Snap?
The other turtles can pull into their shell when they are frightened, but the snapping turtles cannot.? Snapping turtles are very relaxed when they are in the water because they have no natural predators.
On land; however, they have no defense and no way to outrun you so the only way they can defend themselves is to snap.? Never pick up a snapping turtle from the side of their shell.? They are able to swivel their head around and reach you.? If they are on the road, you can move them safely by allowing them to latch onto a stick and pull them across the road to the side in which they are heading.
Another method used to move them is to use a shovel to scoop them across the road.
DO NOT pick them up by the tail.? They simply weigh too much and you can separated their vertebrae... and this will kill them.
--------------------------------------
In case some of you don't know... and I know some of you don't as I hear people have been going to the hospital for stitches ... and other small injuries.?
There is an Urgent Care Clinic in Newmarket.
This is the address: York Medical Health Centre, 17215 Leslie St.
To get there you drive south on Kennedy Road, turn right at Mt. Albert Road, drive through Sharon and turn left on Leslie Street.? Drive south on Leslie street past Davis Drive, past Stackhouse and there is a large No Frills plaza on your left (1 light south of Davis).? Go into the Medical Center which is on the right side of the plaza.? You will see a line of booths ... for lack of a better word.? On one of them is labelled 'walk in clinic'... don't go there.? To the left of it is 'Urgent Care', go there.? There is a triage nurse who will assess you... I know all this as I went there when I broke my toe weeks ago.?
If she doesn't think it is serious, she will send you to the walk in clinic.? DO NOT go to urgent care if you are having some sort of heart incident as you should be going to the hospital.?
It took me about an hour and a half to get assessed, see the Dr. in the clinic, get an xray, go back and see the Dr. and get treatment.? It would have taken me THREE HOURS + ?at the hospital.?
So, tell your friends, No Frills plaza on Leslie Street, 1 light south of Davis.? The only problem is... it is new and mostly open during working hours.? When it starts to get busier, the hours will be extended.? They say to call first (905-853-0404).? Take your health card.
On the website it says 9am to midnight but that may be for the walk in clinic. (http://yorknorth.cioc.ca/record/NKT0510)

Phew that was a lot of typing.
I still don't have any photos so I hope you like to read.
Did anyone stay up for the Perseid meteor shower last night?? I did!!? It was great!? Lots of meteors zipping across the night sky.? They said: 'Upwards of 60 meteors per hour at the peak of the show'.
A reminder to PLEASE?turn OFF, or turn DOWN, your radio when you pass through the gate.? No one likes your choice of music?not matter what time of the day.
The petanque tournament was held yesterday... and it rained off and on.? I only saw about 10 - 12 people playing at around noon.? It was cold.? We need more of that HOT weather that we had a few weeks ago.
Still cold out, hmmm 82F / 27C... that is not cold.? It was around 70F a few hours ago.?
The sun is thinking about coming out too.
Grass cutting is still off the list as it is still raining off and on.? Weird weather. Plus it is the weekend and quiet time.?
Potholes update:? there are TONS of them due to the constant rain over the past few days. Go slow or get an alignment :-)
Next weekend is the 'Lee Baxandall Memorial Volleyball Tournament (Aug. 17 - 19)'.? Can you say: no water?? (grin)
Here's the blurb: http://www.bareoaks.ca/index.php/en/baxandall-tournament.html
I met Lee a bunch of times... nice guy.? He did a LOT to promote naturism including founding The Naturist Society.
Here's an event I didn't know about:
Naturist Movie night on August 13th, Monday from 8:30pm - 10:30.
Movie: Have Figure Will Travel.
Place: New Forest Room.
Free admission.
Aquafit on Wednesday from 2pm to 2:30pm. Hey it would take me that long to get into the pool (grin).? Plus Sundays from 11:30am to 12:00.
Boot camp is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 18:20pm to 19:30pm.?
Horseshoe Tournment on August 25 from 10am to 2pm.
I think I will take a few photos today.? Just so you know,?I don't take photos of people?for two reasons:
1. ?the people who own blogspot.com do not allow nudity
2.? you aren't suppose to do that here :-D
Carry on... ?
