Sept-Oct 2021


If You “Start Me Up” I’ll Never Stop 

I’ve been thinking a lot about 

retirement lately. Not my own – I don’t 

think that’s in the cards for a while, or 

ever perhaps – but the topic has been 

popping up more often than a vaccine 

debate. (Okay, you’re right, nothing pops 

up more often than a vaccine debate.) 

It seems to me that there are 

two types of retirees, those who are 

incapable of sitting still and must find 

some way to be productive, and those 

who feel they’ve earned the right to golf 

and read and relax and do no more than 

they must. There is no right or wrong, 

but I don’t find too many that fit into 

that latter category unless or until they 

have to. Almost everything is productive 

when you think about it. Golfing is 

good exercise (and constantly reminds 

you that you’re not perfect), reading 

is good for the mind, travelling is full 

of experiences. It’s pretty hard to do 

nothing at all. 

We have a bunch of great folks that 

deliver the Daytrippers once they’re 

printed. It’s only one day every few 

months but there has been a steady 

line up of interested drivers for over two 

decades, and they’re almost all retirees. 

The average age is probably 70... I’m 

expecting Joe Biden to call for a job 

any day now. They get paid of course, 

but the money isn’t their incentive - 

it’s purpose. Most people want or need 

purpose in life – they want to feel that 

they’ve accomplished something at the 

end of the day. They need a reason to 

wake up in the morning. Bringing the 

Daytripper from town to town isn’t a 

bad way to spend the day, but there are 

many others. 

A friend asked me for advice last week 

because he is retiring in the coming years 

and wants to spend his time encouraging 

the “electrification of transportation.” 

Yeah, I had to think about that one 

too! He wants to encourage people, 

businesses and industries to switch over 

to electric vehicles. It’s what he feels will 

do the most to help the planet. That is 

such an admirable goal. All this time I’ve 

been thinking about being the next Mick 

Jagger... a lofty and unlikely career move, 

but equally challenging I think. I’d settle 

for being the next Cliff Erickson, a local 

guitar/vocal legend. 

Another friend I spoke with retired 

from the police force last year, but went 

right back to work in a related capacity 

because help was needed organizing the 

battle against COVID-19. He’s just now 

about to enter the world of retirement 

and is pretty sure that he’ll want to do 

next to nothing. We’ll see. 

What really brought this to mind 

though is the current struggle to find 

employees. Would you like a job? I 

don’t mean with Daytripping, I mean 

anywhere. There are help wanted signs 

everywhere these days. Some restaurants 

have had to close on certain days due to 

the lack of staff. Family run businesses 

that usually have some additional staff 

are having to do it all on their own, and 

they’re getting worn out. For all the 

retirees out there, I’m serious –- would 

you like a job? We have an amazing 

in Southwestern Ontario 

work force out there among our retired 

population, with folks that want to work, 

just not too much. This is the perfect time 

if you want to put in a few hours a week 

somewhere. You’ll learn something new, 

or teach them a few things, and your 

time will really be valuable. You have 

experience, you’re reliable and you grew 

up with a work ethic that I’m guessing 

outshines that of your grandkids. 

Something else that brought this 

topic to my mind is the passing of Ruth 

Sharon at the age of 97. Ruth lived 

outside of Windsor and was renowned 

as “The Cookbook Lady.” Her columns 

have been in each issue of Daytripping 

for years as well as many other 

publications. She spent years teaching 

people to cook on stages and in person, 

published numerous cookbooks and 

helped many organizations publish 

their own cookbooks as fundraisers. But 

this was all after the age at which most 

people retire. Before that Ruth travelled 

extensively as a buyer for a chain of 

stores, owned a beauty salon and was a 

teacher at St. Clair College. She just never 

stopped, and most of her work later in 

life was out of the goodness of her heart. 

As you may know, Daytripping is 

largely written by our readers, people just 

like you, and many of them were never 

published until they were well into their 

50’s, 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s. I’ve seen 

first hand many times how something 

like this can add a new and unexpected 

chapter to a person’s life, to become an 

unforgettable and rewarding experience. 

Then there’s my wife Maggie. She’s 

eligible to retire after 30 years of teaching 

and may want me to spend some of that 

time with her. She has no immediate 

post retirement plans but I rest assured 

that she’ll find a new calling (or she’ll be 

calling me to come home from work). 

On a sidenote, imagine for a moment 

what you’d want to do with your time if 

you won a ridiculous amount of money 

– $100 million let’s say. More than you 

could possible spend. Then ask yourself, 

what is stopping you from doing that 

now? 

There’s a part of me that can’t wait 

to retire, but only so that I can go on to do 

other things. I did take the first step this 

past year by starting a post retirement 

publication. It’s a seniors magazine (go 

figure) called Welcome To The Club, and 

it features articles from over 25 years 

of Daytripping archives. Daytripping 

is too successful and too rewarding to 

not continue, but we do have a lifestyle 

change planned for it as well. Beginning 

in 2022 there will be three issues/year 

instead of five, with the first one coming 

out in mid-April. Being forced to slow 

down during the pandemic played a 

hand in this decision – it turns out that 

“not working” isn’t the worst thing in the 

world (vaccine debates are!) 

With a bit of luck, this will give me 

more time to practice guitar, write hit 

songs and connect with Mr. Jagger. Wish 

me luck and I’ll do the same for you! I 

think I’ll go buy a lottery ticket now. 

Thanks for reading,

Apple Scraps 

Vinegar 

Many years have passed since 

numerous books, a course at the library 

and a circle of like-minded people 

helped me discover and adopt what I call 

simple living. Many of these habits are 

better for your health, the environment 

and your finances, sometimes all three. 

A recent gift of more time on my hands 

allowed me to revisit my techniques for 

any areas of improvement. I wanted 

to review the simple living material 

I had saved and investigate a lot of 

new ideas out there. The movements 

for zero waste and plastic reduction 

have great suggestions for alternatives 

and substitutes. All this information 

encourages me to continue my practices 

so I leave the planet in better shape for 

nature and those generations behind 

me. 

My parents also did a lot of this stuff 

so I guess I can also look to the past for 

ideas! 

I try my best to think about, what 

exactly is it I need? Although sometimes 

I need to go to the Black Walnut Bakery 

Café on Wortley Road to pick up a 

coffee and a treat! 

I guess I follow a lot of the R’s. 

Reuse. Repurpose. Rethink. Refuse. 

Repair. Reduce. Sometimes the cry is, 

MacGyver It. Or maybe the Canadian 

version is, Red Green It! 

As much as I can, I try to do and make 

everything myself. I see this lifestyle as 

a creative outlet and most times a lot 

of fun. We can accumulate so many 

products, many packaged in plastic so 

another good tip is to reduce the oneuse 

items and opt for a product that has 

many. 

A need for applesauce in some 

baking had me choosing an alternative 

to buying this product most often 

packaged in a plastic container. Being 

that I usually have apples, a good local 

choice, I made my own. Then looking 

at the peels and cores remaining, I

WHERE EVERY PURCHASE 

IS A GIFT TO THE COMMUNITY. 

Harrow Full Circle Thrift Store 

wanted to use up everything. I found a 

recipe online for apple scraps vinegar. 

This product was something else I 

needed as I use this amber, liquid gold 

for everything from cleaning to cooking 

and baking to rinsing my hair with it! 

Making this vinegar by using what I 

have would also eliminate yet another 

plastic container. 

I utilized a clean, glass, jam jar I saved 

as the vessel to brew my recipe. Once 

the scraps, distilled water and sugar 

were inside, I covered the jar with a 

coffee filter and reused an elastic to 

secure the filter. 

Then into the kitchen cupboard it 

went. This spot was the hottest in my 

apartment during an equally hot summer 

season. As the days went by and I stirred 

my concoction, an odour, reminding 

me more of a brewery, emanated from 

the cupboard! A taste test of the brew 

made me think the same thing. Thus 

the cupboard became known as Susan’s 

Still. Further research for apple scraps 

vinegar recipes, all of which seemed 

to have different variations on sugar, 

stirring times, etc., and I found mention 

made that there is a “hooch” stage 

leading up to the vinegar stage. 

In the end, apple scraps vinegar was 

born. I had discovered another product 

I could make plus I had used what I 

had, used up everything and avoided 

another plastic container or two. Even 

the apple bag became my garbage 

bag as I followed the suggestion of not 

purchasing more plastic bags just to 

throw away. 

Bit by bit, I am changing more and 

more habits even after all these years. 

Whether it’s rescuing a beautiful top at 

the second hand store that needs a little 

TLC that I can give or Red Greening 

something, I don’t see that I will ever 

tire of this stuff. At least I hope I never 

stop and I am sure the Earth hopes I 

won’t either! Live local!

John Sloane 

Born in Chicago, John was deeply impressed by a summer vacation 

that he spent visiting the highways and byways of Ontario as a boy. “I 

have never forgotten the exciting experience I had seeing the 

beautiful rural landscape and meeting so many friendly people,” says 

John. “I returned home with a wider horizon and an enthusiasm to 

paint new subjects.” After graduating from college, John began to 

free-lance, acquiring commissions to paint illustrations for magazines and books. He and his wife Mary Anne 

later fulfilled their dream of owning a place in the country. “I began to paint my favorite subjects of 

old-fashioned country landscapes,” says John. For more than thirty years John has painted a popular series of 

art calendars. John Sloane’s Country Seasons Deluxe Wall Calendars, Mini calendars and Weekly Planners 

celebrate the beauty of the four seasons and the simple pleasures of country living. He also continues to 

produce many popular greeting cards, jig-saw puzzles and quilting fabric collections. John Sloane’s 

Country Seasons calendars are available at stores and online. To see more of John’s artwork or information

There is no definitive answer as to 

where it originated. The most 

likely is in reference to using the

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time

He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose

The Trail of the Yellow Perch 

By Frank Prothero, Port Stanley 

PROUD 

MEMBER OF 

Build your own gourmet map. 

It is a very simple truth that Ontario 

is blessed with a greater quality and 

diversity of home-grown food products 

than any place on earth, and yet, how 

often do we find ourselves at the chain 

store buying fruits and vegetables 

imported from distant lands, just for the 

sake of convenience? Perhaps this is a 

good time to explore the opportunities 

available in the countryside and smaller 

towns of Ontario. 

Food in one regard, is like real 

estate… location is everything. Where 

would any apple butter lover want to 

be in the fall other than Wellsley during 

their annual harvest celebration? But let 

us begin with one of the real diamonds 

in our crown… Lake Erie yellow perch, 

a dish that was chosen to nourish King 

George VI and the Queen Mother on 

their 1939 tour of Canada. 

Admittedly, you may get a delicious 

perch dinner in other 

parts of Ontario, 

but, location being 

important, you will 

do your best in those 

ports along the north 

shore of Lake Erie that 

are home to a whole 

fleet of vessels that 

ply the waters of the lake in search of 

the tastiest of fresh water fish. That is 

most of the communities along this two 

hundred mile stretch but if you want to 

be sure, just look for the iconic Lake Erie 

gill net tugs at the dock. They are your 

assurance that the freshest and best 

yellow perch are close at hand. 

Kingsville, Wheatley, Erieau, Port 

Stanley, Port Burwell, Port Dover, 

Nanticoke, Port Maitland and Port 

Colborne are home to restaurants 

that offer this delicacy, caught by local 

fishermen, processed by professionals 

with years of experience in the trade and 

prepared by cooks and chefs who take 

pride in the dishes they serve. Most of 

these fishing villages have retail outlets 

that can provide you with fresh or frozen 

filets for consumption at home. 

The next time you are licking your 

chops in anticipation of a tasty fish 

dinner, take a scenic drive along the 

north shore, look for those fish tugs that 

are the hallmark of Ontario high quality 

fish. You will be generously rewarded 

for your efforts. 

The trail of the yellow perch is just 

one of dozens of options. Many have 

heard of communities that have a 

Butter Tart Route that takes you to 

a number of small 

bakeries that produce 

their own version of 

this tasty dessert. A 

little research could 

lead you to draw up 

your own maps for 

Mural by Harold Burton in Wheatley apples, peaches, pears, 

onions, sweet corn and 

dozens of other foods produced here in 

Ontario and offering better quality than 

any import. 

So, the next time you reach for 

that watermelon grown in Mexico or 

California, think of the alternative, drive 

a little bit further and enjoy Ontario’s 

home grown food.

Pelee Island 

The Legacy of Jack Miner 

Before there 

were three 

breweries on the 

main street of 

Kingsville, and 

18 local wineries to visit, and a ferry 

to Pelee Island, there was Jack Miner. 

Actually, a ferry may have existed, but 

Jack Miner put Kingsville, Ontario on the 

map a long, long time ago. 

Nature plays a great role in tourism 

everywhere on the planet and Canada’s 

south shore is no exception. The first 

and last pieces of land that birds and 

butterflies can touch before the long 

trip across Lake Erie are blessed with 

this annual migration ritual. In this 

area there are numerous conservation 

areas, along with Pelee Island and Point 

Pelee National Park, that attract nature 

lovers wanting to be a 

part of this experience. 

This has been one of the 

main tourist attractions 

for over a century, but 

a lot of this comes back 

to one man, the “Father 

of Conservation,” Jack 

Miner. 

John Thomas Miner 

was born in Ohio but his 

family moved to this area 

in 1878 when he was 13. 

He had no education and 

was illiterate until the 

age of 33, but as a hunter 

and trapper he noticed that geese were 

landing on their ponds as they migrated. 

So in 1904 he created a pond on his 

farm with seven clipped, tame Canada 

geese. He was hoping that this would 

attract wild geese and after four years of 

effort they started coming. Before long, 

geese and ducks were arriving in droves 

and Jack Miner built a bigger pond. By 

1913 the family farm had become a bird 

sanctuary and it kept growing. 

In the meantime he had begun 

trapping and banding ducks with 

aluminum tags to track their migration 

habits. His first band in 1909 was 

By Mark Moran, Daytripping 

recovered in Anderson, South Carolina. 

By 1915, “Wild Goose Jack” had adapted 

his trap to capture Canada geese. They 

were then fitted with a tag showing the 

postal address of the conservationist. A 

few words of scripture were also often 

included. 

This ability to track birds sparked 

immense interest across the continent, 

capturing the imagination of people. It 

also led to the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty 

Act of 1918 between six countries, 

making it unlawful to capture, sell, or kill 

certain migratory birds. From there Jack 

Miner went on to be an author, public 

speaker and one of the best known 

people on the continent, among the 

likes of Ford, Edison and Lindbergh. 

His fame made much of the movement 

toward conservation possible. 

The Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary was 

among the first of its kind and awaits 

your visit. The grounds and trails are 

open sunrise to sunset year-round. The 

Historic House and Museum are open 

10am to 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays 

(please see staff in the museum) from 

June to November and during the week 

from June to August. Viewings or tours 

outside of regular hours are available by 

appointment. Tours are free and there 

are no admission fees to visit. Call 519- 

733-4034 or visit www.jackminer.ca for 

more information. The annual Migration 

Festival will be held October 14-17.

It’s hard to imagine 

that this is the same 

building. The top photo 

is of the Kingsville Train 

Station around the time 

we first brought copies of Daytripping 

to Kingsville in 1995, and did an article 

about what a shame it was to see this 

grand structure on its last legs. The 

bottom photo is the same building today, 

the home to Mettawas Station where 

Chef Anthony Del Brocco serves up fine 

Italian and Mediterranean cuisine in 

this beautiful setting. 

In October 2008. Anthony and 

Janet opened an upscale but intimate 

restaurant and, in so doing, they 

continued a heritage story started by 

Hiram Walker over 100 years before. 

We learn from their website that: 

Hiram Walker commissioned the eminent architect Albert Kahn to design and build 

the Kingsville Train Station to be ready when construction of the railway line reached 

Kingsville from Windsor in the spring of 1889. 

The interior layout included gentlemen’s and ladies’ waiting room, ticket office, 

freight and baggage areas, a covered porch, port-cochere and a second floor bed 

chamber. 

Built out of stone, and complete with a slate roof, the station was equipped with gas 

heating and lighting brought in from natural gas fields nearby. 

Fares, round trip to Windsor were 80 cents for adults, 40 cents for children. To 

serve his business interests, Hiram Walker built the Lake Erie, Essex, and Detroit 

River Railway. For his recreation, he built a Grand Resort on the main line of the 

Railway and on the shores of Lake Erie, The Mettawas Hotel which opened in 1889. 

The elegant hotel no longer exists but the memories do live on. Designed by Mason and 

Rice Architects, The Mettawas Hotel cost $250,000 to build. Guests would arrive by 

rail at the Kingsville Railroad Station, then ride three blocks to the Mettawas Grounds 

in the Hotel’s carriages. 

You can visit this fine establishment, taking in the grandeur and history inside, 

or enjoying the patio as cyclists pass by on the Chrysler Greenway Trail.

The 

Daytripper 

We’ll go from town to town. These maps will let you know where we are. 

The Cookbook Lady 

We have lost one of our favourite, most 

prolific and most talented contributors. 

Ruth Sharon, known to our readers and 

countless others as “The Cookbook 

Lady,” passed away in August. 

Ruth’s recipe columns have been a 

part of Daytripping’s fabric since we 

first spoke back in 2001. She lived in 

Lasalle, just south of Windsor, and her 

enthusiasm and genuine love for cooking 

and for life in general was evident always. 

Ruth enjoyed a full life and career of not 

only collecting and perfecting recipes but 

also of sharing them. 

As the author of 

multiple fundraising 

cookbooks, she has 

left an indelible and 

endearing mark on 

her community. With 

Ruth at the helm, over 

200,000 fundraising 

cookbooks have 

been sold on behalf 

of area schools, 

churches and nonprofit 

organizations 

that provide care and 

support for those 

in need. She did all 

this after retiring from teaching at St. 

Clair College. When Ruth was asked to 

put together a cookbook for Windsor’s 

Assumption Church in 1992, she 

realized that there were countless other 

opportunities. Cookbooks were flying 

off the shelves back 

then and apparently 

retirement didn’t 

mean sitting idle for 

her. 

Ruth could 

advise people on 

every aspect of 

creating a cookbook 

for a fundraiser. If you wanted to have a 

page showing conversions from pounds 

to ounces —oh, she had that for you. A 

page of substitute ingredients—she had

By Mark Moran, Daytripping

and what you eat today 

will walk and talk with 

you tomorrow.” 

that, too. She had countless ideas to fill 

any extra pages. 

She’s also published seven Good 

Home Cooking Books (Ontario’s Best 

Selling Little Cookbooks) of her own, 

one in conjunction with Zehrs where 

she was teaching cooking classes, with 

the proceeds going to charity. She’s 

been recognized with a “Hospitality 

Hero” award as an ambassador for 

her countless contributions to the 

community, been featured at convention 

workshops, done stage cooking at home 

shows, and has been 

a guest speaker on 

radio and television 

numerous times. 

In addition to 

Ruth’s impressive 

accomplishments 

and community 

service, she also 

leaves quite a brood 

of loving offspring: 

six children, 17 

grandchildren, 25 

great-grandchildren 

and 11 great-greatgrandchildren. 

She was a firm 

believer that, “You are what you eat and 

what you eat today will walk and talk 

with you tomorrow.” 

We can’t thank Ruth enough for 

what she’s meant to Daytripping and 

to so many charitable organizations. 

Her columns 

will continue to 

be featured in 

Daytripping. There 

are some we 

haven’t published 

and, since recipes 

are timeless, many 

we can bring back 

so that you can learn from one of the 

best. 

We will miss Ruth Sharon deeply. She 

was an inspiration to all who met her.

BEER 

FACTS 

After he won the Nobel 

Prize, Niels Bohr was given 

a perpetual supply of beer 

piped into his house. 

The Code of Hammurabi 

decreed that bartenders 

who watered down beer 

would be executed. 

At the Wife Carrying World 

Championships, first prize is 

the wife’s weight in beer. 

A cloud near the 

constellation Aquila 

contains enough ethyl 

alcohol to fill 400 trillion 

pints of beer. 

Coined in the early 1900s, 

the word “alcoholiday” 

means leisure time spent 

drinking. 

The builders of the Great 

Pyramid of Giza were paid 

with a daily ration of beer. 

See our Cork Screws & Craft Brews 

page for local breweries! 

Dearest creature in creation, 

Study English pronunciation. 

I will teach you in my verse 

Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. 

I will keep you, Suzy, busy. 

Make your head with heat grow dizzy. 

Tear in eye, your dress will tear. 

So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. 

Just compare heart, beard, and heard, 

Dies and diet, lord and word, 

Sword and sward, retain and Britain. 

(Mind the latter, how it's written) 

Now I surely will not plague you 

With such words as plaque and ague. 

But be careful how you speak: 

Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; 

Cloven, oven, how and low, 

Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe. 

Hear my say, devoid of trickery, 

Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore, 

Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles, 

Exiles, smiles, and reviles; 

Scholar, vicar, and cigar, 

Solar, mica, war and far; 

One, anemone, Balmoral, 

Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel; 

Gertrude, German, wind and mind, 

Scene, Melpomene, mankind. 

Billet does not rhyme with ballet, 

Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet. 

Blood and flood are not like food, 

Nor is mould like should and would. 

Viscous, viscount, load and broad, 

Toward, to forward, to reward. 

And your pronunciation's OK 

When you correctly say croquet, 

Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve, 

Friend and fiend, alive and live. 

Ivy, privy, famous; clamour 

And enamour rhyme with hammer. 

River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb, 

Doll and roll and some and home. 

Stranger does not rhyme with anger, 

Neither does devour with clangour. 

Souls but foul, haunt but aunt, 

Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant, 

Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger, 

And then singer, ginger, linger, 

Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge, and gauge, 

Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age. 

Query does not rhyme with very, 

Nor does fury sound like bury. 

Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth. 

Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath. 

Though the differences seem little, 

We say actual but victual. 

Refer does not rhyme with deafer. 

Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer. 

Mint, pint, senate and sedate; 

Dull, bull, and George ate late. 

Science, Arabic, Pacific, 

Science, conscience, scientific. 

Liberty, library, heave and heaven, 

Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven. 

We say hallowed, but allowed, 

People, leopard, towed, but vowed. 

Mark the differences, moreover, 

Between mover, cover, clover; 

Leeches, breeches, wise, precise, 

Chalice, but police and lice; 

Camel, constable, unstable, 

Principle, disciple, label. 

Petal, panel, and canal, 

Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal. 

Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair, 

Senator, spectator, mayor. 

Tour, but our and succour, four. 

Gas, alas, and Arkansas. 

Sea, idea, Korea, area, 

Psalm, Maria, but malaria. 

Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean. 

Doctrine, turpentine, marine. 

Compare alien with Italian, 

Dandelion and battalion. 

Sally with ally, yea, ye, 

Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key. 

Say aver, but ever, fever, 

Neither. leisure, skein, deceiver. 

Heron, granary, canary. 

Crevice and device and aerie. 

Face, but preface, not efface. 

Phelgm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass. 

Large, but target, gin, give, verging, 

Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging. 

Ear, but earn and wear and tear 

Do not rhyme with here but ere. 

Seven is right, but so is even, 

Hyden, roughen, newfew Stephen, 

Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk, 

Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work. 

Pronunciation -- think of Psyche! 

Is a pling stout and spikey? 

Won't it make you lose your wits, 

Writing groats and saying grits? 

It's a dark abyss or tunnel: 

Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale, 

Isligton and Isle of Wright, 

Housewife, verdict and indict. 

Finally, which rhymes with enough -- 

Tough, through, plough, dough, or cough? 

Hiccough has the sound of cup. 

My advice is to give up !!! 

Phobias… The fear of being buried alive is called taphephobia

Perspective 

By Dave Steadman, Brigden 

My father worked for a Mr. Tye when 

he was a young lad back in the ‘40s. Dad 

would have been in his early teens. As 

the story goes, one day Dad and Mr. Tye 

caught a bunch of young “hooligans” 

in the melon patch, smashing all the 

pumpkins, squash and watermelons. 

Dad assisted Mr. Tye punishing these 

fellows by stuffing smashed juicy 

melons into their bib overalls and thus 

sending them home to their parents. 

I had heard this story many times over 

the years. Then one day I overheard my 

dad and a neighbour gentleman having 

a real good laugh. They were both in 

their 70’s. As I listened closer it became 

apparent that they were rehashing the 

event of their youth. One summer day 

these two, along with their buddies 

had been in the melon patch and were 

caught red-handed by Mr. Tye. Wet, 

gooey, smashed melon and pumpkin 

filled britches and all, they were sent 

home to suffer their punishment. 

I pointed out that this was not the 

version I had heard numerous times over 

the years. Both senior gentlemen and 

myself had another really good laugh. 

It’s amazing how the 

perspective of a story 

changes!

New Owner 

The Tire 

One year, at Brock University, there were these two 

guys who were taking Chemistry and who did pretty 

well on all the quizzes and the midterms and labs, etc., 

such that going into the final they had a solid "A." 

These two friends were so confident going to the 

final that the weekend before the finals week (even 

though the Chem final was on Monday), they decided to go 

up to Muskoka and party with some friends up there. So 

they did this and had a great time. However, with their 

hangovers and everything, they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it 

back to Brock until early Monday morning. 

Rather than taking the final then, they found Professor Bonk after the final 

and explained to him why they had missed the final. They told him that they 

went up to Muskoka for the weekend, and had planned to come back in time to 

study, but that they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare and 

couldn't get help for a long time and so were late getting back to the campus. 

Bonk thought this over and then agreed that they could make up the final the 

following day. The two guys were elated and relieved. So, they studied that 

night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed 

them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet and told them 

to begin. They looked at the first problem, which was something simple about 

molarity and solutions and was worth 5 points. "Cool" they thought, "this is 

going to be easy." They did that problem and then turned the page. 

They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page. It said: 

(for 95 points) Which tire?

Ah, Those Magnificent Monarchs 

One September afternoon, exploring the 

north shore of Pelee Island, we stumbled 

upon a miracle – hundreds of brilliantlycoloured 

monarch butterflies, clustered in 

the trees. These insect “snowbirds” were 

taking a rest stop on the first lap of an ageold 

migration south to balmier climes. 

Happily, those mysteries begin right 

here in southwestern Ontario. Every fall, 

the butterflies, which glide on thermals, 

will travel up to 3,000 kilometers from Lake 

Erie’s shoreline, across the continental 

United States to their winter home in 

Central Mexico. 

The monarchs that leave Ontario usually 

have never made the trip before. Yet some 

special instinct draws them to the same 

forests - and sometimes the same trees 

– from which their ancestors began the 

journey north to Canada, often three to 

four generations earlier. 

In recent years, their populations have 

been in decline. A major reason is that 

milkweed plants, primary food source 

for the butterfly larvae, are disappearing. 

Many places listed milkweed plants as 

noxious weeds so they were systematically 

destroyed. Nature lovers are now creating 

butterfly gardens – and those gardens 

should always include milkweed plants. 

Even these well-intentioned gardeners, 

Dr. McNeil warns, don’t always appreciate 

the caterpillar stage of the monarch’s 

development. Saying no to the presence 

of the caterpillars, the insect specialist 

notes, is like someone saying, “Well, I like 

adults but not babies.” Those ugly striped 

yellow, white and black caterpillars, given 

time, form a chrysalis. That chrysalis will 

be transformed into a breathtaking black 

and orange butterfly that will flit over our 

garden or country fields. 

Even the migrating monarchs who do 

reach sunny Mexico face some hazards. 

In recent years, one of the most serious 

hazards has been illegal logging, which 

has deforested the habitats where the 

monarchs have traditionally wintered. 

Another danger is light frosts, which can 

prove fatal to the fragile insects. 

With the growing interest in the 

environment, Mexicans have realized that 

the migrating monarchs are a welcome ecotourism 

attraction. Parties of nature lovers, 

who stay in local hotels and dine at local 

eateries, are guided through the mountains 

to view fir trees literally covered by millions 

of monarchs. As clouds of butterflies rise 

up, visitors can actually hear the beating of 

their tiny wings. Two of Mexico’s famous 

Phobias… The fear of darkness is called scotophobia 

By Alice Gibb, London - from Daytripping Sept-Oct 2010 issue 

monarch sanctuaries are 

Santuario Sierra Chincua 

and Santuario de la Mariposa 

Monarca El Rosario – both with 

websites outlining their attractions. 

Groups are now very actively 

campaigning to preserve Mexico’s 

threatened butterfly habitats as well as 

planting seedlings to replace the trees 

claimed by illegal loggers. 

As spring arrives, the monarch 

butterflies become obsessed with 

reproduction, again starting the long return 

flight to destinations in North America. 

Few monarchs ever survive the year-long 

round trip, but somewhere along the route 

they lay eggs to begin the life cycle again, 

creating new progeny who will delight the 

eye. Ah, those mysterious, magnificent 

monarchs.

Wildlife Rehabilitation 

The baby squirrel was squirming and 

its tiny feet were glued to my fleece like 

Velcro. 

It was lunchtime, and he was 

enthusiastically sucking down his 

syringe of formula and making 

contented squeaky noises. After 

chopping up some apple and peanuts 

for his dish, it was the baby bunnies’ 

turn. It was time to clean out their crate 

and give them fresh water and greens. 

Apparently, dandelions are delicious. 

You just can’t avoid the aww! factor 

with baby bunnies. They’re even 

more charming than Beatrix Potter’s 

illustrations. Even their poop is cute. 

The juvenile groundhogs pop out 

of their hidey box when they see me 

coming with strawberries and clover. 

They have excellent table manners and 

eat their greens delicately, like the ladies 

who lunch. 

Meanwhile, the opossums are 

swinging in their hammock looking 

pretty chill and enjoying their chopped 

veggies. How cool to have your thumbs 

on your back feet and to have such a 

useful tail that can grab a snack. 

But these are not pets. They’re 

wild animals temporarily boarding 

at Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation 

& Education Centre until they have 

recovered from misfortune, typically 

encounters with family pets (I’m 

looking at you, Fluffy and Fido), vehicle 

collisions, or with birds, window 

strikes, or until they are old enough to 

be released to spend their lives in the 

woods and fields. 

Throughout the year, kind-hearted 

people bring in injured, abandoned, or 

orphaned birds, mammals, reptiles, and 

amphibians to the centre to get care 

until they can be set free. 

Some need medication, splints or 

other treatment that the senior team 

and consultant vets can provide; others 

need a quiet, dark space to recover 

from a head injury, but many are just 

too young to strike out on their own and 

need to stay at animal summer camp 

for a few weeks. 

Not all of them make it, and 

sometimes I blubber a little on the way 

home. This is what happens when you 

become friends with other furry and 

feathered members of our phylum. If I 

could marshal super powers and make 

them all better just by sheer force of 

will, I would gladly do that. 

We volunteers chop food, clean crates 

or cages, do laundry, wash tiny dishes, 

and fill the wading pools for the ducks. 

Every shift I learn something new and 

amazing about some of our 

By Catherine Blake, London 

roommates on planet earth. Certain 

birds will only eat from the ground, 

while others will only eat if the food is 

stuck onto a piece of bark. Some are 

vegetarian but some prefer bugs and 

worms. 

I’m not going to lie to you. This is not 

a gig for the fastidious. There is a lot of 

poop, but that’s a small price to pay for 

all that cuteness, right? 

And it’s true that this is downstream 

work. Helping to save a bunny or a bird 

will not fix the monumental issues of 

habitat loss or the devastating effects of 

climate change, but I pin my hopes on 

it making a difference to the individual 

creature right in front of me. 

Meanwhile, the bird room is abuzz 

with chirps and squawks. I provide 

housekeeping and short order cook 

services for today’s avian guests: robins, 

blue jays, cardinals, a pigeon, a warbler, 

and a yellow-bellied sap sucker. The 

lunch special is a mélange of seeds, 

some berries, and for dessert, some 

mealworms—how delectable. 

Out in the flight pen, the gaggle 

of goslings are fuzzy, gregarious, and 

hilarious. They waddle-race around the 

space, moving in synch like a school 

of fish. They cheep, whistle, and tussle 

with each other like a schoolyard of 

grade three boys. Oooh a dish of water! 

Let’s all try to get in it! 

By mid-summer these guys will be 

out in the yard, paddling in a wading 

pool, chasing each other and practising 

their aviation skills, and by early fall 

they’ll be gone. I’m sure when they 

reach Florida they’ll send us a thank 

you note. 

Last year, I fell in love with some 

rescued cedar wax wing nestlings in 

their little knitted nest. We tweezer 

fed them, then dish fed them, hovered 

over them while they gained weight 

and practised flying, and then finally, 

release day arrived. We took them out 

of the carrier one by one and opened 

our hands and cheered when they flew 

up and off into the cedar hedge. They 

hung around for a couple of weeks, 

swooping by to say hi before they finally 

left for good. 

I had a little hole in my heart when 

they left and I missed them, but just like 

Opie Taylor learned in a classic Andy 

Griffith Show episode when he had to 

take care of some baby birds, their cage 

looked really empty but “don’t the trees 

seem nice and full?” 

Well, exactly.

Following the birth of his new sister, a 

little boy shocks and offends his parents 

by using “unacceptable” language, 

but it’s the only way he can attract the 

attention he so desperately needs from 

his busy parents. 

An intelligent fourteen-year-old 

girl leaves home to stay with an older, 

married girl friend - not because she’s 

irresponsible or doesn’t love her parents, 

but because “no one in my family ever 

tries to understand me. They never quit 

criticizing long enough to allow me to 

explain my problems.” 

A middle-aged couple decide to 

separate after thirty years of marriage 

because, as the wife puts it, “we have 

become as remote as two complete 

strangers.” 

Every day we hear unhappy stories 

like these involving sad and confused 

people who have ceased to communicate 

effectively with one another, people 

who have lost their sense of belonging, 

who feel neglected and misunderstood 

because no one takes the time to listen 

to them. 

“But I’m no good at conversation, 

so it’s no use my trying,” explained 

an acquaintance recently when we 

were discussing the problems of 

communicating. But no one has to rely 

on the power of words to communicate 

with others” for the art of being a good 

conversationalist is, first and foremost, 

being a good, receptive listener. 

Unfortunately, most of us are 

inclined to overlook the true value 

of receptive listening. In our hectic 

demanding lives we’ve forgotten how 

to invite participation and involvement

simply by listening. We really don’t 

know just how our loved ones, our 

friends and neighbours feel, what their 

personal dreams and frustrations are. A 

typical example is the case of Old Larry, 

as we affectionately called the elderly 

gentleman who lived alone in a small 

house on the outskirts of our town. 

When Old Larry died a few years 

ago, his only daughter- who had not 

seen or communicated with her father 

for several years decided to auction the 

contents of the old house. 

On going through the rooms she 

found to her amazement, not the odds 

and ends of familiar things remembered 

from her girlhood days, but a large 

collection of beautifully carved wild 

animals and birds, all lovingly made and 

expertly finished by her father. 

“He must have nursed this dream for 

his retirement,” his daughter said later, 

shaking her head sadly. “And to think, in 

all these years, I never knew he had this 

talent. It never occurred to me that he 

was interested in anything but his farm. 

I guess I didn’t really know him at all!” 

How many people do any of us really 

know? And how many people really 

know us? The answer must surely lie 

in the fact that we’ve forgotten how to 

communicate. 

If we want to change this situation 

we should begin now to train ourselves 

in the art of listening, really listening. We 

must reach out to others, be receptive 

to their needs and problems and try to 

encourage them to reach out to us in 

return. Only in this way will we be able to 

communicate fully one with another and 

open the floodgates of understanding.

WORDS 

OF ADVICE 

... from the Pessimist! 

No good deed goes unpunished. 

Leakproof seals - will. 

Self starters - will not. 

Interchangeable parts - won't. 

90% of everything is crud. 

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. 

If you're feeling good, don't worry, you'll get over it. 

You will always find something in the last place you look. 

The chance of of bread falling with the buttered side down is directly 

proportional to the cost of the carpet. 

No matter how long or hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it 

will be on sale somewhere cheaper. 

No one's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session. 

The other line always moves faster. 

In order to get a loan, you must prove first that you don't need it. 

Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost more than you thought. 

If you fool around with a thing for very long you will screw it up. 

A $300.00 picture tube will protect a 10¢ fuse by blowing first. 

If it jams - force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway. 

A tool dropped while repairing a car will roll underneath to the exact center. 

The repairman will never have seen a model quite like yours before. 

When a broken appliance is turned on for the repairman, it’ll work perfectly. 

Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will use it. 

Everyone has a scheme for getting rich that will not work. 

There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over.

Phobias… The fear of English people and things is called Anglophobia 



I called my mother “Mommy,” 

slipping into “Mom” mode when I 

started school. When I write about her I 

always refer to her as Mother. 

Her quiet strength balanced that of 

my father’s blustery nature, making her 

the one we all went to when troubles, big 

and small, weighed upon our shoulders. 

As a small child, suffering the torments 

of the red measles, I have a faded 

recollection of her hovering over my crib, 

in a darkened room, as she worried over 

my fevered, little body. That seems to be 

my earliest memory of Mother. 

I can still recall the safeness of Mother. 

Her kind understanding and soothing 

words could take the hurt out of scraped 

knees and elbows; a cat that had just 

died; a dead bunny rabbit that never 

made it across the road; a mean word 

from a friend. The only time she seemed 

out of control, bursting forth a rage so 

unlike her, was at the sight of a snake. 

She would summon an axe and shovel, 

whereby she would sever the head of the 

innocent creature, shovelling it up and 

throwing it out onto the gravel road that 

went by our house. Her comment was 

always the same, “That snake’s tail will 

wiggle until sundown.” Her face flushed, 

her back straight, shovel in her grip, she’d 

usher me back into the yard, closing the 

gate behind us. I, of course, kept checking 

that poor headless fellow and if a car did 

not squash him, true to Mother’s word, 

his twitching tail continued until the sun 

went down on the massacre. 

An uncle and aunt adopted a baby 

girl when I was about seven. This was 

a new word to me—adoption. At the 

tender age of seven, I was filled with 

wonder and then sudden horror when 

my darling sister told me that I too 

was adopted. I entered the house from 

Mother 

By laurie burrowsbreakey, Southampton 

the yard, where my sister and I had 

been playing dolls and burst into tears 

storming at my mother that she was 

not my real mother. My poor mom was 

taken totally off guard, and her stern 

question was, “Where did you ever get 

that idea?” 

“Donna!” I sobbed. Mother and 

my brother Neil had been talking 

at the kitchen table and now Neil 

burst into laughter as Mother loudly 

summoned my sister from the yard. I 

don’t remember Mother reprimanding 

Donna, I just remember Neil rumbling 

my hair, as I realized I’d been duped by 

my darling sister. 

Mother was not a pushover—you 

always knew when you went too far. 

One summer evening as we washed up 

the supper dishes, I grew bored with the 

task of drying them and used the excuse 

of “the call of nature” to leave my job. 

Putting down my tea towel, I headed out 

to the toilet which was attached to the 

woodshed. Now rural toilets as a rule are 

not a nice place to go, but my mom made 

ours very presentable. Scrubbing it each 

spring and redoing the walls with left over 

bits of wall paper and sitting nearby, the 

Eaton’s catalogue. The wood shed door 

was left open into the back yard where 

the kittens tumbled and played, so if one 

left the toilet door open, sunshine and 

views of the garden could be enjoyed. 

Now since I really did not need to use 

the facilities, I sat in that antiquated 

toilet on the bench with the lids closed, 

idly leafing through the old catalogue, 

looking out now and then, chuckling to 

myself at the antics of the cats playing in 

the slowly setting sun. After some time, I 

heard the kitchen door slam and Mother 

quickly walking through the wood shed, 

toward me, and without a word she shut 

the door and locked it. My view was 

taken away and I sat and contemplated 

my selfish ways for perhaps ten minutes, 

before Mother returned and unlocked the 

door. No words were spoken, but I never 

neglected the drying of dishes again. 

Mother was the youngest of ten 

siblings, many of whom lived in the 

Hespeler area. So it was not uncommon 

to have drop in company or if Father 

felt generous and had enough energy 

left from toiling on the farm from sunup 

to sundown, he would treat my mom 

with a Sunday trip to visit relatives. I 

remember the excitement of receiving 

letters from Mother’s sisters in far off 

Michigan. Every week there would be 

one or two in the mail box and it was 

with great importance that I would be 

delegated to retrieve them, running back 

shouting, “Mom you’ve got a letter from 

Aunt Polly!” She would beam at me with 

her warm smile, especially when the 

letter was from Aunt Polly, and pocket 

the letter in her apron saving the news, 

reading it to us all after lunch. If the news 

included an upcoming visit from either of 

her two favourite sisters, Mother would 

go into cleaning mode scouring even the 

remotest corners of that old stone house. 

The multitude of things I remember 

about my mother have stayed with me 

throughout my life. I did not have her 

for a long time but it was quality all the 

way. Memories of Mother can still bring 

a smile at the abundant happy times, 

or a sob remembering the loss of her, 

to my ever grateful being that I was her 

daughter.

Too Much Debt

I used to 

laugh at people 

that hung their 

laundry in frosty 

weather. Now 

I’m one of them. 

Buying in 

bulk? Now 

I shop elbow 

deep at the Bulk 

Barn. 

Running loads in the dishwasher? 

Now my daughters and I work as a team 

to clean the dishes. 

I’ve become obsessed with cutting 

corners in my quest to keep within 

budget. It all began when I came across 

a website based on frugal living. This 

website is published by a woman whose 

family paid off $20,000 worth of debt in 

five years on only an average income of 

$22,000.00! This penny-pinching diva 

has inspired me. My new mantra is: “I 

must! I must! I must get out of debt!” 

The media reports that we are in a 

global financial crisis. I am in a local 

financial crisis. I need to get back to 

living within my means. I need to be 

able to better decipher between needs 

and wants. 

Recently I was talking to a “seasoned” 

woman friend. We got talking about this 

present global financial crisis. Then we 

got talking about the past. My friend 

said it perfectly when she stated: “If 

you didn’t have the money, you simply 

didn’t buy it.” 

Back in the day, there was no such 

thing as Mastercard or Visa. For 

example, when my older friend got 

Phobias… The fear of fear is called phobophobia 

married, her father credited her and her 

husband with 24 chickens and a heifer 

that liked to kick. This friend’s lifelong 

frugal living inspires me. 

In the 1920s, before the government 

had hooked up farmhouses with electrical 

lines, my maternal grandmother grew 

up with no hydro. 

“We used lots of blankets and an old 

wood stove,” I recall my grandmother 

saying. My grandmother’s family was 

so frugal that not only did they order 

necessities from the Sears catalogue, 

but they also used it for that essential 

paper in the outhouse. Talk about thrift! 

A couple of weeks ago I was in Sobey’s 

planning my weekly menu. I was 

bellyaching to Trudy the cashier that I 

was tired of eating mac and cheese five 

times a week. “I just don’t know about 

this budgeting thing!” I lamented. 

Trudy leaned over the conveyer belt 

and spoke softly in my ear. “Just a 

gentle reminder Elaine, that if you have 

food in your refrigerator, clothes on your 

back, a roof over your head and a place 

to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent 

of this world.” 

Yeah, enough said. 

I must continue on in my perseverance 

while I slash my expenses and gain 

control over my debit card. I dream 

that my frugal living will help me arrive 

at a place called financial bliss. I think 

Gail Vaz-Oxlade, the past host of the TV 

program, “Till Debt Do Us Part,” says 

it the best: “Don’t spend more money 

than you make. You can have anything 

you want, anything, if you’re prepared 

to work hard for it.”

You’ll discover E&E’s Cloth & 

Creations in a quaint, brick building in 

the centre of the small town of Newton. 

They’ve been selling quality fabrics to 

people from near and far for over 30 

years now. Many people make quilts out 

of the cloth, but also clothing, masks, 

purses, receiving blankets, and more. It 

is a store where they might know you by 

name—that very small-town feel. 

E&E stands for the names of the 

owners Edgar & Emmaline Wagler. 

Emmaline’s sister Darlene helps in the 

store as well as Emmaline’s daughter 

Lanelle. 

They also do zipper repairs, 

sewing machine repairs, Newtex 

dry cleaning, custom curtain orders 

and custom hand and machine 

quilting. The Wagler family also 

sells garden vegetable seeds, 

sewing machines, and pillow forms. 

“I enjoy the interaction with my 

customers. That’s a big part of it. 

We have the post office as well, 

so then I get to meet every new 

person that comes to town. I enjoy 

that. Just the customer service is 

what I love to do,” said Emmaline 

Wagler. 

In 31 years, there is a wider 

range of fabric than years ago. You 

have choices of solids and prints— 

Canadian prints, beach fabric, NHL 

flannel, travel theme with the Eiffel 

tower on it, flowers, butterflies, 

stars, you name it. 

Cloth & Creations 

of Newton 

By Wendy Rutherford, Baden 

In the fall and the winter they have 

classes, such as making placemats and 

table runners and more. It is yet to be 

determined when those will start up 

again. They are now selling a kit with 

blocks to make a quilt, which is a good 

way of passing the time. 

During COVID shutdowns the post 

office can be open, but they need 

to bring bolts of cloth to the front of 

store. (curbside pick-up) “It has been 

challenging and a lot of work, but it 

works,” said Wagler, “A lot of people 

have been sewing!”

A lucky person is someone who

All things good to know are

A library is a repository of

A mad bull is not to be tied up

Gray hair is a sign of age, not wisdom. 

A miser and a liar bargain quickly. 

A miser is ever in want. 

Act quickly, think slowly.

An open enemy is better than a false friend. 

Before you can score you must first have a goal. 

Character is habit long continued. 

Death is never at a loss for occasions. 

Even from a foe a man may learn wisdom. 

First secure an independent income, then practice virtue. 

Good accounts make good friends. 

A gift, though small, is welcome.

DOGS 

By Agnes Burroughs, Dorchester 

How many of you lucky folks out there 

have a family pet? If you’re really lucky 

that pet is the universal favourite—a 

dog. Your dog doesn’t care if you have 

a good day at work or a bad day. They 

will just lick your hand and be by your 

side through good or bad. No need to 

explain anything to Spot or Rover or 

Celia. Those friends will be there no 

matter what is happening in your life. 

We always had a dog when we 

were growing up, and it wasn’t like we 

needed another mouth to feed. With 

eight children running around our dog 

never needed to be walked. He just 

was always there wherever we kids 

congregated and played. 

Our dog was our protector—no need 

to fear anyone stealing us out of the 

yard. He was our playmate—who else 

would chase a ball continuously for two 

hours with nary a complaint? And our 

greeter when we arrived home from 

school, but best of all our friend. 

My mother was always partial to 

German Shepherds with their long 

pointy ears, big tongues and slim bodies. 

As we were leaving for the beach one 

day a large German Shepherd wandered 

on to our property. Mother took one look 

at the hungry and apparently homeless 

beauty and saw the potential no one 

else did. She promptly went back in 

the house and cut off a large chunk of 

our Sunday roast we were supposed to 

be eating for supper when we returned 

home. She admonished the dog to eat, 

drink and be sure to stay there till we 

got back. No one was more surprised 

than me, when we came back after a 

long, long day to see Rin Tin Tin lying 

on the front step as if he belonged 

there. That dog stuck with us through a 

variety of homes and job changes and 

never failed to protect us and stay on 

the front porch when we went away. 

That dog had a sixth sense about folks 

and you could always tell if a person 

was welcome or not by his reaction to 

visitors. Gentle as a kitten but only if he 

liked your looks. We trusted his instincts 

and were always safe. 

For many years, our little children’s 

cousins would come to play for a 

whole day filled with fun and games 

and frolicks with our dog, Buddy. Their 

stepfather came to pick them up one 

day and they weren’t too pleased about 

having to leave and started to cry and 

whine. I guess patience was wearing thin 

at this point and the stepdad grabbed 

one of the girls by the arm to speed their 

departure. All day the girls had been 

happy, carefree, laughing and playing, 

and this big mean person was making 

one of them cry. Buddy was not happy 

and showed his displeasure by clamping 

his jaws around the stepdads wrist. I 

noted all this and told him to let go of 

the child and back away to the truck. He 

let go of the child, the dog let go of him 

and everyone proceeded to the truck. He 

never came back to pick them up ever 

again. To me, Buddy was justified and 

showed good judgement of character. 

Our dogs pretty well start out in the 

porch or garage, but someone 

invariably sneaks them 

in under the table and 

who, but bad old Mom, 

would put them outside. 

Honestly someone has 

to clean up their big, 

old slobbers and 

their constant under 

footedness. Guess 

who? Me. 

Buddy One was 

the biggest, old dog but a real softy at 

heart. If we had to take him to the vet 

for his shots he would howl all the way 

there, get his shots and return home 

with not a peep. After many years of 

this, we finally found a big animal vet 

who would come to the farm and give 

the dog his shots. Certainly saved our 

hearing and the stress for Old Bud. 

One time our crazy Buddy ran up and 

out of the ditch in front of a very fast 

car. The vet said the best thing was to 

keep him confined until his hip could 

heal. This necessitated carrying him 

back and forth to the barn at least three 

times a day for several weeks. But he did 

indeed get better and ran many more 

miles, following whatever implement 

was in the field. He would follow you 

until you couldn’t stand it anymore and 

pick him up into the cab. This worked 

out fine until he thought he 

should be right up front 

of the steering wheel. 

Oh well, he just wanted 

to be where we were. 

When we learned 

our Old Buddy Two 

had cancer, we 

weren’t sure what we 

should do. His chances 

were slim according to 

the vet and he might not 

make it through the surgery. Our son 

chose to let him live out his last days 

here at home with us. Bud was buried 

with his dog tags so “God would know 

who he was when he got to heaven.” 

They leave a paw print on your heart.

What’s so good about Hamilton’s 

Bakery? 

Reason #1 We make your food 

ourselves, right here in the bakery. 

We make it using family recipes and 

wholesome ingredients. If we bring do 

bring something in, we try to use local 

people who do the same. 

Reason # 2 You don’t have to buy a 

family package if you want just one bun 

for your hotdog or just one cookie for 

your walk home. We are happy to serve 

you… just one. 

Reason #3 Mix it up! Our regular 

lineup includes five kinds of tarts, six 

kinds of squares, ten kinds of cookies 

and that doesn’t include holiday seasons 

when there are even more. Pricing allows 

you to mix it up within each product 

assortment. We want you to try it all! 

Reason #4 If you like a great variety 

and you are a home baker, you know 

that ingredients can get very expensive.

2nd Generation of 

Hamilton’s Bakery, 

Strathroy 

You can get both variety and homemade 

love from Hamilton’s Bakery without the

worse than an oven catastrophe at the 

worst possible moment. Guaranteed 

results and more free time! 

Reason #5 We are really nice. (Can we 

say that?) We love a good chat, laugh, 

tease, pun and joke. We think our service 

is second to none. 

Reason #6 Add to #5 a nice nostalgia 

trip. We are stuck in the past and we love 

it. If you haven’t been here for 20 years we 

have tried to arrange that your favourites 

are still here when you come to visit. 

Reason #7 Home Delivery. Who does 

that? We do. Often the same day but 

for sure the next. Free 

within Strathroy. We have 

expanded our radius for 

a very reasonable fee. We 

love that you love to send 

our baked goods to the ones 

you love. 

We hope one of these has 

you headed to the car or 

the phone. Come celebrate 

75 years of fine, traditional 

baking with us!

PART 3 of 3 

You have to learn how to fail in order 

to succeed. Here are some famous 

failures from history. 

When people speak of a “fear of 

failure,” they are really describing a 

hazy free-floating malaise and feeling 

of worry or discontent which induces 

lethargy and explains lack of effort. This 

malaise protects us from the anxiety that 

comes with freedom and taking risks. 

We tranquilize our lives by limiting the 

amount of anxiety that we experience by 

not trying anything new or different that 

might fail. 

Whenever we attempt to do something 

and fail, we end up doing something else 

or producing something else. You have 

not failed; you have produced some other 

result. The two most important questions 

to ask are: “What have I learned?” and 

“What have I done?” 

Failure is only a word that human 

beings use to judge a given situation. 

Instead of fearing failure, we should learn 

that failures, mistakes and errors are the 

way we learn and the way we grow. Many 

of the world’s greatest successes have 

learned how to fail their way to success. 

Some of the more famous are: 

Charles Darwin 

Darwin was chastised by his father for 

being lazy and too dreamy. He once wrote 

Famous Failures 

By Michael Michalko • www.creativethinking,net 

that his father and teachers considered 

him rather below the common standard 

of intellect. When Charles Darwin first 

presented his research on evolution, 

it was met with little enthusiasm. He 

continued to work on his theory of 

evolution when all of his colleagues 

called him a fool and what he was doing 

“a fool’s experiment.” 

Steven Spielberg 

While today Spielberg’s name is 

synonymous with big budget, he was 

rejected from the University of Southern 

California School of Theater, Film and 

Television three times. He eventually 

attended school at another location, only 

to drop out to become a director before 

finishing. Thirty-five years after starting 

his degree, Spielberg returned to school 

in 2002 to finally complete his work and 

earn his BA. 

Michaelangelo 

The artist genius of the ages is 

Michelangelo. His competitor’s 

once tried to set him up for 

failure or force him to forgo 

a commission because of the 

possibility of failure. Michelangelo’s 

competitors persuaded Junius II to assign 

to him a relatively obscure and difficult 

project. It was to fresco the ceiling of a 

private chapel. The chapel had already 

been copiously decorated with frescoes 

by many talented artists. Michelangelo 

would be commissioned to decorate 

the tunnel-vaulted ceiling. In this way, 

his rivals thought they would divert his 

energies from sculpture, in which they 

realized he was supreme. This, they 

argued, would make things hopeless 

for him, since he had no experience 

in fresco, he would certainly, they 

believed, do amateurish work 

as a painter. Without doubt, 

they thought, he would be 

compared unfavorably with 

Raphael, and even if the work 

were a success, being forced to 

do it would make him angry 

with the Pope, and thus one 

way or another they would 

succeed in their purpose of 

getting rid of him. 

Michelangelo, protesting that 

painting was not his art, still took 

on the project. In every way it was 

a challenging task. He had never used 

color, nor had he painted in fresco. He 

executed the frescos in great discomfort, 

having to work with his face looking 

upwards, which impaired his sight so 

badly that he could not read or look 

at drawings save with his head turned 

backwards, and this lasted for several 

months. In that awkward curved space, 

Michelangelo managed to depict the 

history of the Earth from the Creation 

to Noah, surrounded by ancestors and 

prophets of Jesus and finally revealing 

the liberation of the soul. His enemies 

had stage managed the masterpiece 

that quickly established him as the artist 

genius of the age. 

Fred Astaire 

In his first screen test, the testing 

director of MGM noted that Astaire 

“Can’t act. Can’t sing. Slightly 

bald. Not handsome. Can 

dance a little.” Astaire went 

on to become an incredibly 

successful actor, singer and 

dancer and kept that note in 

his Beverly Hills home to remind 

him of where he came from. 

Michael Michalko is the author of the 

highly-acclaimed Thinkertoys: A Handbook 

of Creative Thinking Techniques. www.

From 

Dear Daytripping, 

Our Readers 

Our Sundays are frequently spent driving to the many small-town, 

quaint towns of southwestern Ontario: Goderich, Stratford, Bayfield, 

Chatham to name a few! This time of year especially, we are in awe of 

the beautiful sea of fields of the farmers' pride and joy in their crops! 

Recently, we had a beautiful day to drive out to the town of 

Aylmer, Ontario from our home city of Sarnia, Ontario. Aylmer sits 

just on the outskirts of St. Thomas (another charming city). 

Pinecroft is where we stopped in at Aylmer. Pinecroft is nestled in 

an oasis of tall trees and so many other species of Mother Nature's 

glory! There, we were able to enjoy our lunch outdoors in a tranquil 

setting with the many sights and sounds of the fantastic natural 

view 

of its pond and interesting 

surroundings. After a 

super-great lunch, we strolled 

the wandering grounds to 

further enjoy Pinecroft. 

This is a wonderful area 

and Pinecroft is a "must see"! 

Can't wait for another 

Sunday drive within our 

wonderful south-western 

Ontario! 

Sincerely, 

Lidia De Carolis, 

Sarnia

@Pasta Amore 

For the Love 

of Fresh Pasta 

During the early months of the Covid 

19 pandemic, my father in law and I 

enjoyed the sun and sounds of children 

playing in our backyard. During one of 

our afternoon tea dates, my father in 

law, Ritchie, mentioned a project he and 

his father had started back in 1945 when 

he was 10 years old. It was a 6 foot long 

rowboat to act as a tender to his family’s 

boat, the “Black Duck.” They used the 

boat each summer to get to their cabin on 

Georgian Bay. Kenneth, Ritchie’s father, 

felt they would benefit from having a 

smaller boat to act as a tender, so he 

purchased a pattern from a boat building 

catalogue and enlisted the help of his son 

to build it. The duo took the project as far 

as cutting out the pieces and creating the 

frame before Kenneth’s youngest child fell 

ill and the project was put on hold. 

Kenneth took the project to his home in 

Toronto, but despite his desires, he never 

got around to finishing the project. As an 

adult, Ritchie took the pieces with the 

hope to someday finish the project with 

his son Gregory. The pieces moved several 

times across Southwestern Ontario before 

they settled in Wyoming, Ontario with 

Kenneth, his son Gregory and his young 

family. 

When Ritchie told me the story I knew 

this was something that needed to be 

completed. Ritchie was now 84 years old, 

Puddle Duck 

By Tammy With 

so I asked if I could lead this project to 

completion. He was delighted to hear of 

my interest and encouraged me to enlist 

my husband and four young children as 

helpers in the project. 

That afternoon I had my husband 

retrieve the pieces from our garage attic 

and the next afternoon the seven of us 

took to the back yard to make Kenneth’s 

vision come to life. 

As we worked our way through the 

pattern we realized that we were missing 

several pieces of the frame as well as all of 

the written directions needed to complete 

the build. All we had was a couple of 

diagrams and the original catalogue to 

guide us. We decided that rather than 

scrap the project that we would use a 

more modern method of boat building to 

construct it, as building 

another form was 

something we found very 

daunting. We settled on 

using the stitch and glue 

method. 

For the first few days 

my children enjoyed 

working on the project, 

but as happens with 

children, they became 

uninterested in the 

project. From then 

on I chose to work on 

the project each day when my younger 

children were having their afternoon 

nap. It was a slow process, but steadily 

throughout the summer, I managed to put 

the boat together. 

Once the plywood was stitched 

together, I enlisted the help of my father, a 

professional fiberglasser to teach me how 

to fiberglass the outside of the boat. My 

father and I spent two weekends adding 

layers of fiberglass and sanding the boat. 

Working on this project with my father is 

something that I will remember as one 

of the most special moments he and I 

have spent together. Once the sanding 

was complete I painted the boat bright 

yellow, added white gunnels with oar 

locks and painted the interior white. All 

that remained was the addition of a name 

on the stern. Kenneth had named the 

boat “Puddle Duck” when he started the 

project, a name that suited her perfectly 

with her bright yellow paint. 

After 74 years and several trips on land, 

Puddle Duck took her first voyage afloat 

at the end of the summer. We gathered as 

a family at A.W. Campbell Conservation 

Area in Alvinston to watch her maiden 

voyage. Richie said a few words in honour 

of his father and christened Puddle Duck 

with a splash of sparkling cider. My 

husband and our son Sawyer were the 

first to take a ride around the pond. I could 

see the sheer delight in Ritchie’s face as 

he watched his son paddle along. 

I like to think Kenneth was looking 

down on us that day as we paddled 

along. He would have loved to see the joy 

we all took in the tiny little boat he had 

started as a young father. Puddle Duck 

will be passed along to our children when 

they become parents in the hope of her 

becoming a family heirloom. 

The summer of isolation was hard, 

but having a project like this made it a 

little more manageable. Had we not been 

in lockdown, I likely would have found 

distraction in other things, and maybe 

Puddle Duck would have spent another 

generation in pieces. It was a great 

honour to be part of such an important 

family legacy.

Children Trade Holiday Visits 

Summer has come and gone, but in its 

passing my children will have memories 

to cherish of the pleasures they shared 

with their farm cousins. Likewise, I hope 

that Johnny, a 10-year-old farm boy who 

spent two weeks visiting our home will 

remember his activity-packed city visit 

with the same bubbling enthusiasm he 

displayed during his stay. 

Between his mother, the Country 

Aunt, and myself, the City Aunt, we 

trade our children back and forth during 

the brief sunny eight weeks with a 

minimum of bother. We both feel that 

parents and children benefit from a 

change in scene. 

When Johnny came to stay with us, 

he participated in events that would not 

be available to him on the farm. 

For instance, Johnny learned to 

swim at the huge outdoor swimming 

pool a few blocks from our house. He 

played scrub baseball on the school 

lot. The recreation program at the 

city playground in our neighbourhood 

introduced him to athletic achievement 

tests such as the dash, broad jump and 

high jump. 

The supervisor’s craft sessions were a 

highlight to his visit. One afternoon he 

came home beaming. 

He was holding a 

bright blue birdhouse 

which he had designed 

and made. It was 

judged the best in his 

age group. Saturday 

afternoon Johnny and 

son, Michael, went to 

a movie matinee, and

Skincare, Candles & Teas

Sunday morning Johnny was a guest at 

Michael’s Sunday School. A picnic in the 

park rounded out the visitor’s perfect 

week. Summer picnics are a rarity on 

the farm, with Johnny’s hard-working 

parents too busy with harvesting. 

Mischief was cut to a minimum as the 

two boys explored their two wonderful 

worlds together. Michael enjoys the 

farm equally. He is allowed to ride his 

bicycle on the car-free country wagon 

tracks, something not permitted at 

home because of heavy traffic. 

Then, there is the inevitable 

attraction of performing daring stunts 

with aerialist aplomb in the loft of the 

barn. The boys search for frogs in the 

still ponds, and Michael’s awareness of 

the wonder of feeding the small calves 

in the hush of morning give him new 

insight into the ways of nature. 

I found myself wishing other 

youngsters were given the same 

opportunity of exploring a different 

world. As a rule, city dwellers are 

only too eager to visit on a farm, and 

permitting their children to spend a 

holiday with farm relatives or friends. 

But often it simply does not occur to 

them that a farm boy or girl would 

be just as thrilled to 

spend a vacation with 

them in the city. 

Why 

not 

experiment with 

your own exchange 

program? You will be 

glad you initiated the 

plan for the children’s 

summer pleasure.

The trains of THE PORT STANLEY 

TERMINAL RAIL travel over the tracks 

and roadbed of one of 

Ontario’s oldest railways, 

The London and Port 

Stanley Railway, which 

was designed to alleviate 

congestion on a plank 

road that had been built 

to connect Port Stanley 

and London. Entirely 

constructed by hand 

labour, the railway project 

was begun in 1853 shortly after the 

Great Western Railway reached London. 

The first train to reach Port Stanley was 

a passenger train on July 5th 1856. 

During the next 59 years, thousands 

of steam trains traveled the 23 mile 

route, carrying passengers and freight 

to and from the bustling city of London 

and the thriving port at Port Stanley. 

In 1913 the City of London, which 

owned the line, chose to assume its 

operation. Adam Beck, the influential 

promoter of Hydro Electric power from 

Niagara Falls and mayor of London at the 

time, rebuilt the line into a modern highspeed 

electric operation. Smoke free 

electric trains enticed excursionists to 

travel to Port Stanley, where passengers 

could enjoy the L&PS amusement park,

ST. THOMAS 

519-631-7264 

swim in a rented bathing suit from the 

L&PS bath house, dine in the L&PS 

cafeteria, or dance under the stars at the 

L&PS Pavilion. The Pavilion, later known 

as the Stork Club, was renowned for top 

name entertainment with the likes of 

Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and 

London’s own Guy Lombardo frequently 

heading the list of performers. 

Passenger traffic plummeted 

following the Second World War after 

reaching a peak of 1.1 million in 1943. 

The end of gas rationing and more 

use of the automobile caused the end 

of passenger service on February 1st 

1957. From 1915 to this time, over 28 

million people had ridden the L&PS. The 

Railway and its remaining freight traffic 

were traded in 1966 to the Canadian 

National Railways, for the CNR car 

repair shops property at York & Rectory 

streets in London. 

While the London-St. Thomas section 

of the line remained as a busy freight 

corridor, the neglected section of the 

L&PS from St. Thomas to Port Stanley 

was abandoned in 1982 after a washout 

at Union. It was then that a group of 

London & St. Thomas residents formed 

the Port Stanley Terminal Rail Inc. to 

purchase the line and rebuild it into an 

operating railway. The line’s potential 

as a tourist railroad was obvious. Port 

Stanley had a large beach and the 

quaint charm of a lakeside village, 

geographically located 

between the Detroit 

and Toronto and just 

20 minutes from the 

Hwy. #401. The line 

also had a scenic quality 

with a long history 

remembered by many.

Grease cookie sheet lightly. Remove stems from apples. Insert wooden 

sticks firmly in stem end. Stir sugar, syrup and water together in saucepan 

over moderate heat until sugar almost dissolves. Cover pan; bring slowly 

to boil. Remove cover; boil rapidly without stirring until 1 tsp. of syrup 

dropped into cold water separates into hard, brittle threads, or to 300 

degrees on candy thermometer. 

During cooking, wipe inside of pan often with wet cheesecloth wrapped 

around a fork. At 300 degrees add cinnamon and enough colouring to 

tint syrup bright red. Tip saucepan. Dip apples, twisting in syrup until 

covered. Also extra syrup on apples to drain back into pan. Work quickly, 

placing saucepan over boiling water, if 

necessary to keep syrup thin enough to 

coat apples easily. Save any excess syrup 

to help stick decorations (small candies 

and cutouts of fruits) on apples. Place 

coated apples, stick up, on prepared 

cookie sheet to harden. 

Makes 8 apples-on-a-stick; approx. 

195 cals. and 7g. fat per candy apple.

Phobias… The fear of night is called nyctophobia 



A University of Western 

Ontario study showed that if 

each Ontario family shifted 

only $10 of their weekly 

food budget to buy food 

produced in the province, 

Ontario businesses 

would see 10,000 new 

jobs and $2.4 billion in 

annual food sales.

Cont’d from page 41 

In the early days, 

the first task of the 

volunteers was finding 

the track. No trains had 

traveled to Port Stanley 

for over seven years. 

Trees, weeds and mud 

buried the right of way, 

and road crossings were 

paved over. The formidable task of 

reopening the line began with all the 

legal hurdles to be overcome adding to 

the problems. These people would not 

give up and the first train rides ran in 

1983. By 1985 the railway’s volunteers 

had rebuilt the washout at Union for 

a fraction of the cost estimated by 

CNR. It was then possible to open the 

remaining section of the line. However, 

many more hurdles had to be overcome 

before this could be done. It would take 

two more years before the PSTR would 

receive a Provincial railway charter, the 

first Ontario Railway Act since 1927. 

In 1988 the PSTR purchased the entire 

seven miles of property from St. Thomas 

Parkside to Port Stanley. Two more 

years of work, meetings and hearings 

remained before the PSTR would be 

allowed to operate over the entire line. 

Several operating restrictions lasted until 

the passing of the Ontario Shortline

Railways Act in December of 1995. 

Starting in January of 1996 the PSTR 

could drop the practice of having to stop 

at each road crossing and flagging the 

train across. Also changed at this time 

were the restricted hours of operation. 

PSTR could now operate after sunset. 

There have been many changes over 

the years, both on and off the property. 

Although the PSTR is a company owned 

by shareholders, the contributions of the 

volunteers must not be underestimated. 

Without the knowledge and work of 

these people the trains would not 

run. All revenue generated from ticket 

sales has been used to pay taxes and 

insurance, repair track, purchase and 

upgrade equipment. Other costs include 

fuel, advertising, telephone, student 

wages and benefits, etc. 

The two stations, Port Stanley and 

Union, which were in derelict condition 

when the line was taken over have been 

Storefront Open Daily 10-5

improved at no little time and 

expense. The Port Stanley Station now 

has central air conditioning for the 

customers and staff’s comfort. Station 

agents are often part time summer 

students and souvenir sales help 

maintain these historic buildings. 

Except for the busy summer months 

trains are operated by volunteer crews 

who must undergo testing and pass rules 

tests developed by PSTR based on the 

Federal Railway operating codes. Over 

the years many people have volunteered 

their help in running the trains. PSTR is 

always on the lookout for new volunteers 

to help run the trains and perform other 

work. The experience can be a rewarding

one with the chance to learn new skills. 

In its years of operation, PSTR has 

carried thousands of passengers on the 

many trains safely. Over 400 departures 

take place each season carrying 

approximately 25,000 riders for the 

year. Many special charters also take 

place year round. The heaviest time is 

during June when many school trips 

come for a train ride. More recently the 

special “Entertainment Train” has been 

placed in service. Licensed by LLBO, 

this train is available for special parties 

almost any time. 

PSTR equipment has been upgraded 

and improved over the years. Most of 

the passenger equipment are converted 

cabooses, which have been rebuilt 

into special and unique open and 

closed cars suitable for use in all 

seasons. The “Little Red Caboose” 

is a former CN flat top caboose 

that has been improved to 

accommodate children’s birthday 

parties on the train. PSTR has 

over 30 pieces of rolling stock 

on the property and the work of 

conversion upgrades is continuing.

Did you ever wonder at the oddities 

in place names on maps? Some are so 

strange that one wonders at what the 

explorer/geographist was thinking at the 

time. Nowhere is this state more evident 

than on a map of Newfoundland. 

Certainly the island is one of the best 

sources of unusual monikers in Canada 

and these invite all kinds of speculation 

as to why, how, when the naming took 

place. The following were plucked 

from a Rand/McNally atlas at random. 

Random, as a matter of fact, is an actual 

place on the rock. It was picked at (you 

guessed it) random as the first example. 

There is no shortage of colourful 

names but some are better than others 

and can lead one to wild speculation 

as to reasons why this name was not 

only chosen but fought to retain its 

quaintness over the decades. 

Joe Batt’s Arm is a small dot on the 

map. The name clearly is connected 

to human anatomy, but why? Does the 

area have biceps, bony elbows, a wrist? 

Did an early explorer suddenly realize 

that the area resembled the arm of a 

deadly enemy, a close friend or even a 

relative? It is flattering to Joe that he is 

immortalized and is on every map of 

Canada? How much recognition does 

one man deserve? Joe Batt, your name 

and arm will live forever.

Names 

By Glynn Leyshon, London 

Further perusal of the map reveals 

Conception Bay. One can only speculate 

as to what was happening in the area 

when some early mapper strolled from 

the forest to see the panorama laid out 

before him. (It as extremely rare for a 

woman to have an input into geographic 

naming but this is one of the few.) It is 

apropos that close by is a hamlet called 

Placentia. I don’t think this juxtaposition 

was accidental. 

Some of the Newfie names just 

sound, well, Newfie. Parson’s Pond 

being a good example. The name has

alliteration as well as mystery (why did 

the Parson have a pond named after 

him?) As well, there is a Funk Island, a 

place called Fogo and a harbour labelled 

Hooping (could there have been a 

basketball team there?) Colourful and 

memorable, too. 

A town called Mosquito would hardly 

attract too many tourists and is a tribute 

to the towns people that they have 

not changed the name, spraying and 

scratching as they must. 

Proud of their heritage and praying 

for cold weather all the time jealous 

perhaps of the folks in Heart’s Content 

just a few windy, bugless miles away 

where the folk from Mosquito go to 

escape. 

One also wonders about events 

that might have inspired the names. 

Witless Bay invites a guess as does Push 

Through. Are they related? Perhaps an 

explorer was fighting his way through 

thick brush and decided not to quit but 

to push through until he could see the 

ocean and thereupon decided it was 

not worth the effort and was a witless 

venture. 

He might have seen Mouse Island and 

decided it wasn’t worth his time and he 

would not have stopped at all except his 

shoes were too tight in Shoe Cove and 

they were pinching (Nipper’s Bay).

sparagus & rhubarb 

Have you 

ever thought 

that you would 

like a jar of homemade 

strawberry jam, but it was later in 

the summer and you missed strawberry 

season? Or maybe it was the middle of 

winter and the weather channel was 

forecasting 20 centimetres of snow. 

I have come up with the solution to 

your dilemma—home-made strawberry 

jam using frozen strawberries. It was 

several years ago when I was on 

vacation and missed strawberry season 

that I came up with this “recipe.” Since 

my husband and I really wanted fresh 

home-made strawberry jam, I thought 

about trying store-bought frozen 

strawberries. 

I make my jam the old-fashioned 

way—the way my grandmother made 

it and the way my mother made it. The 

only ingredients are fruit, sugar and a 

splash of lemon juice. I’m not sure why 

the lemon juice is important, but my 

grandmother and my mother added 

lemon juice to their home-made jams… 

if it was good for Grandma and Mom, 

then it’s good enough for me.

Jammin’ Out of Season 

Helpful Hints 

If you are not sure of the hour-and-ahalf 

time, an easy way to check if jam is 

ready is to take the pot off the stove, put 

a spoonful onto a saucer and freeze for 5 

minutes. After 5 minutes, run your finger 

through the jam and if it stays put, jam 

should be ready. If you need another few 

minutes, put the pot back on the stove 

and cook for 5 minutes. Repeat until jam 

is the right consistency. 

If the jam is too thin, you can always 

recook for a few minutes, but another 

good thing is to use it as ice cream 

topping. 

If the jam is too thick put a spoonful 

each in tart shells and bake for 10 to 

12 minutes or until pastry is nice and 

brown. You could also put some in the 

middle of muffin batter. Using your 

favourite muffin recipe, fill the muffin 

cup half full with batter, drop a spoonful 

of jam on top, then top with more muffin 

batter and bake. These muffins rival any 

sold in a donut shop. 

A hazard of this jam is, my husband 

won’t eat store-bought strawberry jam 

anymore! 

Enjoy.

Jam Recipe 

Ingredients 

• 2 600-gram bags of frozen 

fruit thawed (I have used 

strawberries, blackberries, 

raspberries and multi-berry) 

• 3 cups sugar 

• Splash of lemon juice 

Directions 

• In a large pot (I use my 

spaghetti pot), crush the 

thawed fruit, add sugar and 

lemon juice and bring to a boil. 

Let the mixture boil until it 

cannot be stirred down. 

• Lower the heat to just above a 

simmer and stir occasionally. 

• Cook for 1-½ hours. 

• Ladle into clean jars, let cool 

and then freeze. 

• When you want a jar of jam, 

bring out of freezer and let it 

thaw in the fridge. 

• This recipe makes 

approximately 4-5 250 ml jars.

Story and photos by Randy Goudeseune, Delhi 

I‘ve been in Waterford Antique 

Market a few times recently in the past 

two years, and liked the changes I’ve 

seen there. I used to be a vendor in this 

same market back about 20 years ago 

when it first opened. To my surprise, 

when I walked in I saw my still “young 

friend Sandy” there working and 

helping customers as she has done for 

the past 18-20 years. 

The new owners of the market, 

Anna Wilson, a very lovely young lady 

along with her mother Shelley Stanley 

operate this multi-vendor antique 

market. I was quite impressed with 

Anna and her business sense. 

Anna and Shelley have put their 

own mark on this long-running market 

and it looks a little fresher and more 

inviting for antique hunters these 

days. There is a LOT to shop for in this 

75-dealer market within this two-story 

building, with 16,000 square feet of 

antiques and collectibles to keep you 

occupied for a few hours. 

Waterford Antique Market has 

something for everyone: country farm 

house chic to gas memorabilia to small 

collectibles of china and glass. It also 

has vintage jewellery, antique toys, 

and even hockey cards—something 

for everyone in your family. 

The building is large and well lit, 

from it’s large factory windows and 

high ceilings. 

This building was once The Penman 

Mill No.12 from 1917 and ran for many 

years producing textiles for Canada 

and abroad. 

Also part of Waterford Market is 

the Fishin’ Musician and it has a 

wonderful assortment of vintage 

guitars, and other very interesting 

musical instruments and vintage amps 

for sale. See, I told you this place has 

something for everyone in your family 

to pique their interests. 

So get out your Daytripping paper, 

open the map in the centre and plan 

a trip to the lovely town of Waterford. 

Publisher’s note: Waterford looks 

great these days, with a number of new 

shops opening recently. And as someone 

who plays various instruments, The 

Fishin’ Musician really is a unique shop 

to explore.

“The Talking Dog” 

A guy is driving around Tennessee and he sees a sign in front of a 

house: "Talking Dog For Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells 

him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard 

and sees a Golden Retriever sitting there. "You talk?" he asks. 

"Yep," the dog replies. "So, what's your story?" 

The Retriever looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could 

talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, 

so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting 

around, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no 

one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their 

most valuable spies for eight years. But the jetting around really 

tired me out, and I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at 

the airport to do some undercover security wandering near 

suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some 

incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got 

married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired." 

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner 

what he wants for the dog. Ten dollars," the guy says. 

"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling 

him so cheap?" "Because he's a liar. He never did any of that stuff."

For Drying Times Such As These 

There are many methods of 

preserving foods such as refrigeration, 

freezing, canning, pickling, fermenting, 

salting—and dehydrating. 

Dehydrating is probably one of the 

easiest processes to preserve food. 

There is a wealth of information on the 

internet and Youtube and I encourage 

you to check out the different sites to 

make yourself acquainted with this 

ancient art. 

There are so many advantages to 

dehydrating foods. 

First of all, they can save you a 

ton of money if you grow your own 

food or buy when things are on sale. 

Have you checked out the prices of 

dried blueberries and cherries lately? 

Outrageous. An over abundance in your 

garden will never go to waste if you 

preserve your bounty this way. 

Dehydrating ensures you have a 

variety of nutritious foods on hand at all 

times. No more doing without because 

the weather prevents you from getting 

to the grocery store, or a job loss limits 

your buying power. You will have these 

items in your well-stocked pantry. 

It is so convenient. After the simple 

By Janet Robinson, Burlington 

process of drying is complete, you just 

place the dried items in clean canning 

jars, take as much as you need when you 

need it, and then re-seal the jars and put 

the remainder back on the shelf. 

Dried foods retain virtually all of their 

nutritional qualities because they are 

not cooked, they only have the moisture 

removed. 

You can dehydrate almost anything 

including fruits, vegetables, pre-cooked 

rice and pasta (to save time as you only 

then need to add liquid and re-heat), and 

even meats. You can even dehydrate 

canned items such as pineapple. Store 

the dried products in a cool, dark place 

and they will last for literally years. They 

are light weight and safe during power 

outages. 

If you appreciate convenience, 

this is for you. You can just throw a 

handful of dried herbs or veggies or 

mushrooms into a soup or stew or 

spaghetti sauce, or re-hydrate them 

and add them to scrambled eggs or 

casseroles. They can even be used 

as a side dish in a meal. Reconstitute 

the dried fruits and add them to apple 

crisps or baked goods. 

Some people even grind the dried 

items into powders. This can be done 

with tomatoes, garlic, onions, green 

leafy vegetables, blueberries, etc. You 

can add these luscious powders to a 

variety of dishes including smoothies. 

Dried herbs such as oregano, 

echinacea, feverfew, etc. can be used 

to make medicinal tinctures and 

extracts. These have long been the go-to 

remedies for a variety of health issues 

and are making a resurgence as more 

and more people want to avoid the 

drugs that ‘big pharma’ promotes and 

all the chemicals that are in them. 

To get started, you can purchase 

a food dehydrator or you can dry 

your foods in your oven or even out 

in the sun. If you use your oven, set 

everything on a parchment paper lined 

baking sheet and set the oven at the 

lowest temperature. (If your oven’s 

lowest temperature exceeds 125 F, just 

leave the door ajar so you have about 

a six inch opening.) This ensures the 

food does not cook. Keep checking and 

moving things around for even heat 

distribution. 

You can dehydrate at any time of the 

year, but now that we are in the harvest 

season, it is a great time to start putting 

up nutritious foods to enjoy all winter 

and also throughout the years to come.
