Michael Shannon forges a business in Drew

by Kris Svela

DREW - Michael Shannon is always looking for the cutting edge in blacksmith forged metal products.

The owner of Bevelled Edge Blade and Blacksmith, located in the hamlet of Drew on Wellington County Road 2 between Mount Forest and Harriston, opened his shop in 2003 working with a coalfired forge, anvil, hammer and wrenches of various sizes.

The tools are used to create his art, which includes chef knives and swords. He has also branched out his portfolio creating candelabras, indoor and outdoor accent pieces, light armor and detailed iron work like pergolas.

arrangement has allowed him to devote more time to creating forged metal pieces, many of which are ordered by customers.

His passion for metal work started when he was 12 years old when he made his first knife. That passion was fostered after watching the popular Crocodile Dundee movies in which Australian outback adventurer Crocodile Dundee, played by Paul Hogan relied on his trusted knife during his outdoor encounters.

“I’ve always been one of those guys mesmerized by knives,” he said while working on a Damascus knife in his studio.

“I’m just going to let the work speak for itself. I’m focusing on being creative rather than having certification.”

- Michael Shannon It’s work that requires hours of meticulous effort and a true understanding of blacksmithing from its ancient origins. It also requires a keen understanding of just how metal works under different conditions and heating processes known as metallurgy. And it’s a process the artist continually works with and evolves.

A former drywall taper, Shannon decided in 2003 to turn a hobby into a full-time passion, following blacksmithing techniques honed over centuries. He and his wife Janice Tuck-Shannon live in a farmhouse in Drew they rent from the blacksmith’s parents Bruce and Marg Shannon in exchange for doing farm chores. The

Damascus knife making can be traced back to its origin over 2,000 years ago. The name comes from Damascus, Syria which was a major trading center in the Middle East around 300 BC and known as a “trading hub” for its intricate, patterned silk, according to Shannon. The patterns were integrated into the production of knives and swords.

The process involves forging layers of steel and iron, heating and twisting the metal again and again. The end result is a highly durable steel due to its high carbon content.

Pieces, which are continuously heated at about 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit, are turned known as folding and ham-

Different pieces of metal are heated and twisted together to form one piece during the forge welding process.

mered, a process that is repeated and can take hours or days to work into a finished product.

“You fold it to get the carbon to the middle,” Shannon said of the process. “When you forge something you’re working with many pieces of steel until it’s one piece of steel.”

Shannon prefers using chainsaw or bandsaw steel as part of the mix because of its high carbon content.

“I just mix it with mild steel,” he said. “Chainsaw steel gives the most beautiful pattern.”

The knife is then heat treated, a process used by heating the steel in a stove, and ground to polish it before it goes to the etching stage.

Etching the intricate patterns on the blade is done by treating the blades with a diluted acid.

The etchings can be shallow or deep

with deeper etching prized by chefs working with foods such as sushi.

“The nice thing about a nice, deep etch is you get a cleaner cut,” said Shannon.

The blacksmith has shied away from becoming a member of blacksmith associations in Canada or the United States.

With reference books on metallurgy and continually forging works and learning from mistakes he has made in his own shop, Shannon doesn’t feel it is necessary to have a full-fledged certificate from an affiliated association.

Part of the learning process, according to him, comes when he can discuss techniques with other forge blacksmiths practicing the fundamentals.

“It’s gotten to the point where I’m going to have to spend a day with other black-

smiths,” he said of furthering his own knowledge of the craft.

“If somebody finds something new you share it.”

He added, “It’s all about ethics. I’m just going to let the work speak for itself. I’m focussing on being creative rather than having certification.”

Each piece is tested for durability and sharpness to sat-

isfy the blacksmith’s rigid standards. Testing includes cutting a two-by-four with the knife or cutting hemp rope.

“Nothing leaves my shop unless it’s been tested and of top quality,” he said.

Horoscopes - For the third week of January -

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, a desire for change finds you on an open-ended adventure this week. Who knows where this journey will take you and what will happen along the way?

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Over protectiveness can be a cause of concern, Taurus. Keeping mum simply because you don’t trust others may end up alienating friends and family members.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 There’s no time for ambivalence, Gemini. Make a choice and stick with it.

Financial matters come to the forefront on Wednesday, when paying bills becomes a sticky situation.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, others can’t lend a hand if you don’t let them know you need some help. Taking on projects that are too big to handle alone seems to be your way of operating.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, there’s something you’re forgetting, but it could take a few days before it pops back into your head. Try slowing down because life is passing you by.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your traditional approach to business won’t work this week. It’s time to change the way you present yourself

and interact with others. It could help you all around.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 A change is going to come, Libra, and for you it’s going to be a big change.

Start packing your suitcase because travel is in your immediate future. Bring a loved one along.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your hard work and dedication have finally paid off. Now you get to reap the rewards of all your efforts for the past few months.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you will find your life this week is a balancing act.

One false move and everything can come tumbling down. Better start practicing your juggling.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, instead of pouring fuel on the fire, find ways to extinguish the blaze.

Speaking of getting hot, your romantic life heats up in the next few days as well.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you don’t like to be out of control, but this week you may have to put your trust in fate. You won’t be able to guide this ship into port on your own.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, step up and take control when the going gets tough. Someone has been seeking you out. An admirer?

Here’s How it Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! Find the answer to the left.

Good and bad diet fads: healthy diet and exercise best to stay fit

As anyone who’s ever attempted dieting knows, advice on weight loss comes from every corner. Friends might swear by the latest dieting trend while family members may be just as adamantly convinced the trend doesn’t have merit.

So what’s true and what’s false? Simply put, combining a healthy diet with regular exercise is the best way to lose weight and keep that weight off. While most adults are fully aware of that fact, that doesn’t stop them from finding the latest fad and letting it dictate their eating habits for days or even weeks. For those about to diet, consider the following good and bad diet fads.

The Good * Portion control: Many diets emphasize the importance of portion control. Research has indicated it’s not just what we eat that causes weight gain,

but how much we’re eating as well. In a study in the American Journal of Public Health, researchers found that cookies are 700 percent bigger than the suggested USDA standards.

And it’s not just cookies that are much bigger than recommended, as our servings of pasta (480 percent), muffins (333 percent) and bagels (195 percent) are much bigger than they should be. While not all diets that promote portion control are necessarily healthy, portion control on its own is a healthy way for everyone to approach their daily diet. * Lifestyle change: Individuals who want to lose weight should look for dietary tips that promote a change in lifestyle and not just changes in diet.

Look for diets that don’t have a timeline, promoting fast weight loss in ‘X’ amount of weeks. A diet that promotes a long term

commitment to eating healthy foods while also encouraging daily exercise is one that’s likely going to be more successful and beneficial than one that promises significant weight loss in a short period of time.

The Bad * One food can do it all: Nearly every dieter has heard of a diet that promises you can eat all you want of a specific food and still lose weight so long as that’s all you’re eating.

However, focusing on a specific food is certain to deprive dieters of nutrients they sorely need. Cutting out entire food groups means dieters won’t be enjoyed a balanced diet. Also, dieters will begin to crave the foods they’re not getting, which could lead to bingeing.

Another side effect to onefood diets is that certain foods can cause some unenjoyable side effects, including de-

hydration or gastrointestinal problems. Look for balance in a diet, which should eliminate one-food diets from consideration. * Misguided vegetarianism: While vegetarianism isn’t bad, dieters often apply often it incorrectly. t loss are h ig e w When applied ise rapid tion. lu at advert correctly, a Diets th le long-term so weight b ia v a t o vegetarian diet n gain.

or even tofu to ensure you’re getting enough protein. * Bye-bye, carbohydrates: Arguably no diet is more popular than the one that advocates eliminating carbohydrates.

This is problematic, especially for those who want to combine their healthy diet with exercise.

Carbohydrates are ideal foods for boosting energy, which dieters will need if they want to exercise regularly. Whole-grain breads, oatmeal and brown rice are all beneficial carbohydrate sources. For those desiring to eliminate some forms of carbs from their diets, eliminate white bread and white rice, as those are low in nutrients.

When it comes to dieting, there are certainly plenty of options touting incredible weight loss in short periods of time.

But dieters should always look for healthy ways to lose weight and keep it off, which often includes some combination of a well-balanced diet that promotes moderation.

job done, while others are fearful that such beverages, though effective at improving energy levels, could have an adverse effect on their overall health.

For those who feel energy drinks or another cup of coffee is not the ideal solution to increasing their energy levels, consider the following tips. * Exercise. While it might seem counterintuitive to exercise if you’re feeling fatigued, that fatigue might very well be a result of lack of exercise. Daily exercise helps increase energy levels and improve mood.

Something as simple as taking a walk during a lunch break can vastly improve energy levels. * Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can make people feel lethargic. Drinking the recommended daily amount of water can boost energy levels, especially after a workout when the body often craves fluids. * Carefully monitor sugar intake. Sweet foods with lots of sugar will provide an initial energy boost. However, that boost is fleeting, and blood sugar levels will rapidly drop after it.

Instead of sugary snacks, select whole grain foods, which slowly and steadily increase the body’s energy levels. * Check magnesium levels.

Constant feelings of fatigue could be indicative of a magnesium deficiency. Studies have shown that women with magnesium deficiencies expend more energy to do physical tasks than they did when their magnesium levels were restored. Almonds, hazelnuts and cashews are good sources of magnesium, as are whole grains and fish. * Don’t skip meals. Exhausted or fatigued men and women are often busy at work, which commonly results in missed meals. Skipping meals, according to studies published in the journal Nutritional Health revealed, leads to greater feelings of fatigue by day’s end. Make eating all your meals a priority, and energy levels are likely to improve.

The image many people get when they think of heart conditions is a grown man clutching his chest. But not all heart conditions are as obvious or pronounced as heart attack.

Ischemia is a term used to describe the restriction of oxygen-rich blood to an area of the body. Cardiac ischemia occurs when the blood cannot reach the heart.

Generally cardiac ischemia causes pain in the chest, known as angina. However, in some cases there is no warning pain and the condition is called silent ischemia.

Certain heart conditions can be ‘silent’

Facts & Figures on Silent Ischemia Silent ischemia affects roughly 3 to 4 million Americans every year. Individuals who have had a previous heart attack are at higher risk for silent ischemia than others. But there are many other risk factors: * Diabetes * Coronary artery disease * Hypertension *Coronary artery anomalies * Smoking * Obesity * Alcohol and drug abuse * Cardiomyopathy

If ischemia lasts too long or is especially severe, it may cause a heart attack. It can also affect the natural rhythm of the heart and its pumping ability, which can cause fainting, and even sudden cardiac arrest.

Symptoms and Diagnosis of Silent Ischemia Silent ischemia has no symptoms. However, if a person has had previous episodes of chest pain, there’s a likeli-

hood that he or she could also be experiencing silent ischemia and not know it. Doctors may use an exercise stress test to determine silent ischemia.

Also, a special monitor called a Holter monitor will record the heart rate and rhythm over the course of a day and determine if ischemia occurred.

Treatment The main ways to treat silent ischemia is to reduce cer-

tain behaviors that increase risk. This includes quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol and maintaining a healthy weight and diet. For those who are diagnosed with silent ischemia, there are some treatment options available. Most of these involve improving blood flow to the heart, which often requires prescription medications. Oxygen also may be given to increase the oxygen

Learning about COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease affects thousands of people each and every year.

The condition is largely caused by smoking or prolonged inhalation of lung irritants. There currently is no cure, but there are treatments available that can slow the progression of the disease.

COPD is a term used to categorize many different ailments of the lungs, most especially emphysema and chronic bronchitis. It occurs when there is airway obstruction or simply when a person has trouble breathing.

There are certain contributors to COPD. These may include: * Inflammation of the air passages that restricts airflow. * Excessive mucous that restricts airflow. * Air sacs, called alveoli, lose elasticity and cannot properly inflate with air. * Damaged walls between air sacs that compromise breathing.

According to the pharmaceutical company Merck, about 12 million people in the United States suffer from COPD. It is second only to heart disease as a cause of disability that forces people to stop working.

COPD is the fourth most com-

mon cause of death, accounting for more than 120,000 deaths per year in the United States, and those death rates are on the rise, with 60 percent more deaths now attributed to COPD than there were 20 years ago.

Men and women have equal death rates, though men are at a heightened risk for the disease.

In terms of treating COPD, treatment options generally hope to lessen the severity of the symptoms. Quitting smoking is the single-most effective way to reduce the progression of the disease. Since COPD is a progressive disorder, it will only get worse over time and could lead to death.

Doctors may prescribe medications for individuals with trouble breathing. Bronchodilators relax the muscles around the airways, helping to open them up and make breathing easier. Inhaled glucocorticosteroids also may be prescribed. These reduce inflammation in the airways to help improve airflow.

There are a number of programs and medications available that can help smokers quit.

Talking to a doctor or support group could be the first step needed to quit smoking and reduce the risk or progression of COPD.

content of the blood that is reaching the heart. Other people may take medicines that relax blood vessels, enabling more blood to flow. In most cases this is all that is needed to fix the situation. For those not responding to treatment, they may need a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), such as balloon angioplasty, coronary artery bypass surgery, or a similar procedure.

Bernie Jessome th “Nor ’s Top a ric Ame Orbison y Ro e Artist” t Tribu

Tribute to Roy Orbison in Harriston on Jan. 29 HARRISTON - “Pretty woman, walking down the street…Pretty woman, the kind I’d like to meet…” These song lyrics are familiar to most music fans from Roy Orbison’s 1964 hit song Pretty Woman, a timeless tune that was also a hit in the 1980’s when it was covered by Van Halen. In addition to that classic, Roy Orbison had numerous other hits including Only the Lonely, Crying, Running Scared, In Dreams, and later chart-toppers including Handle With Care (recorded with the Traveling Wilburys) and You Got It, a Top Ten smash at the time of Roy’s tragic passing in 1988.

On Saturday Jan. 29 at 8pm, the music and life of Roy Orbison will be celebrated in Roy Orbison: Shades of Yesterday a special theatrical show presented at the historic Harriston Town Hall Theatre. This unique show will mix all of the favourite Orbison hits coupled with some interesting and witty dialogue relating to the music legend.

Starring as Roy Orbison will be the incredible Bernie Jessome, widely regarded as one of North America’s finest Roy Orbison impersonators. In addition to capturing the trademark look of the music legend, Bernie’s amazing vocal range mirrors the remarkable, unmistakable presence of Orbison himself. Joining Jessome onstage will be Bill Culp and The

Bernie Jessome brings the incredible “Roy Orbison: Shades of Yesterday” show to the Harriston Town Hall Theatre on Saturday January 29.

Memphis Cats, a top-notch group of musicians dedicated to authentically reproducing the sound of legendary artists such as Orbison, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, and Buddy Holly. Culp and his Memphis Cats band are globe-trotting musicians, but are familiar to local residents from their previous theatre appearances in Wingham, Blyth, Walkerton and Harriston. Bernie recently commented “I’ve traveled all across North America doing my Orbison show, and I’m really looking forward to performing in Harriston. The Memphis Cats band has told me it’s a wonderful, historical

building, and the audiences are very interactive and receptive.”

Bernie Jessome was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, and the longtime musician now hails from Toronto. He started off his musical career singing with a Canadian group called “The Esquires” and as his career took off, he found himself opening for his idol Roy Orbison and groups like The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones.

In 1991, he formed a Roy Orbison Tribute production called Shades of Yesterday.

He then connected with the huge “Legends of Rock and Roll” organization and toured Canada cast in the role of Roy Orbison. Bernie has performed throughout the United States and spent more than a year with the U.S. based “American Superstars”. His spellbinding performances as Roy Orbison throughout England in the 1990’s were the talk of the UK theatre circuit.

Today, as he tours the continent performing the tribute to his musical idol, Bernie Jessome is having the time of his life. Jessome comments, “Orbison was, in the eyes of Elvis Presley and many other great musicians, the best singer in
