Hamilton is located on the western end of the Niagara Peninsula and Lake Ontario, and as such is sometimes known as Head of the Lake (not to be confused with Lakehead).
In mid-2001, 14.2 % of the resident population in Hamilton were of retirement age (65 and over for males and females) compared with 13.2 % in Canada, therefore, the average age is 37.8 years of age comparing to 37.6 years of age for all of Canada.

 Anti-Smoking Hate Campaign Aided and Abetted by the Hamilton Spectator
For some reason, it appears the media, and especially the Hamilton Spectator, with which I am most familiar, are complicit in the propagation of the ETS myth which has been the primary justification for the wholesale invasion of private property rights throughout North America over the last few years.
It was apparently not until the anti-smoking side attacked Osteen that the Hamilton Spectator decided to inform it's readers of the issue.
You would think at the very least, that if the Hamilton Spectator considers the issue of ETS to be important enough for public consumption it would occasionally publish more than just one side of the story.

The Hamilton musical legend was found dead in his East Mountain bungalow on the weekend.
When he was able to keep a band together, dozens of musicians flowed through the Biscuit School of Music, and then imparted those lessons on their own players.
But it seems as if there was a bit of blues-a-billy, (his Mouth Of Steel album), a lot of New Orleans (his third album, King Biscuit Boy, aka the Brown Derby album, comes to mind) and a bit of country, such as his Sonny Richards and the L'il Chickenhawks work.

 The Hamilton Spectator -- Editorial
Hamilton East MP Sheila Copps, always looking for ways to bolster her community and quite possibly also looking for a political legacy, is providing serious political weight and the federal health ministry is making the right "we're-interested-but-funding-is-still-an-issue" noises.
Even Mike Harris's criticism of the proposal could, paradoxically, work in its favour: The thought of this being another stone in Harris's shoe might be enough to bring Allan Rock and Jean Chrétien on side.
Notwithstanding some strongly-held (see opposite page) and valid concerns about the overall legitimacy of so-called naturopathic medicine, the inescapable fact is that it is a growing trend.

Since LSD was accidentally discovered -- 60 years ago today -- it's been most commonly viewed as the psychedelic jet fuel of the late '60s counterculture.
