Back in the corner ---- by Sreg Hyneault How about that wind last Tuesday morning!? It was just whipping through what's left of my hair as I walked and rolled to work. I'm beginning to see what effect the Lake has on our weather. I'm not a meteorologist -- heck I don't even know what a meteorol- ogist does -- but it's quite obvious to many that Lake Superior has a strong influence on the type of weather we get. I was told recently by a local friend that you could determine how rough the water is by looking in your toilet bowl. Apparently, the more the water in the bowl moves up and down, the more agitated the water in Superior is. It may heave and ebb slightly, but you can notice it sometimes. That started me thinking: what happens to the lake when one flushes the bowl? I attended this year's Hanley Memorial Golf Tournament, and was treated to some great golf. Actually, I got there just in time to see the last flight of the tourney finish the 18th hole, but it was exciting! f I noticed a coincidence, or what I believed was a coincidence, when I read the list of golf tourney win- ners. It turned out Joe Tees won the low net. Too bad there was no com- mentary: Golf Commentator: (in a low, hushed voice similar to someone who has been heavily sedated and doesn't care about it) "The crowd is quiet now as Mr. Tees tees up." William Shakespeare said that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Some people don't think so. Some believe that names and identities are intertwined. The prac- tice of giving people two names first began to help identify a per- son's profession. Bakers were named Baker; cooks were named Cook, etc.,. Smith is a derivative of Mr. Tinsmith, Mr. Blacksmith, etc. According to an article in Psychological Reports, recently discussed in The Atlantic, names can (and often do) lead people into particular (and sometimes peculiar) carcers. It noted Lionel Tiger and Robin Fox, both of whom studied animal behaviour. It mentioned a nutrition- ist named Bacon Chow. There is a man named Grumbles who wrote an essay called, "Are Emotional Problems Really Problems?" The Atlantic article noted one study that established that many 6- and 7-year-olds believe that they would not be the same people if they had different names. He said that identities and names are inter- twined. Researchers have also been able to determine that some names are frankly better than others.

Two psychologists showed that a grade-school essay titled ""What I did Last Sunday" when said to have been written by a "David" or "Lisa" consistently received a bet- ter grade than it did when said to have been written by an "Elmer" or a "Bertha". I believe it. Think I'm out in left field? Just look in our own commu- nities. Minnova has a mill where the ore is crushed. Is it just a coinci- dence that the mill superintendent is named Bill Mills? (When I lived in Red Lake, Ont. the mill superin- tendent in one of the gold mines was named Hugh Mills.) In Terrace Bay, a town depen- dent on the timber industry, our dentist is named Forest Notwell. And Joe Tees the golfer? What about him. Surely, there must be a few more who have names associated with their professions or some part of their personalities. But I may be wrong. If you think I don't know what I'm talking about, please call the News and ask for me. My last name is pronounced "you know."
