TOWN NAME, TOWN NAME and another awesome TOWN NAME
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

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

This phrase meaning “go the

popularly questioned phrases.
There is no definitive answer as to
where it originated. The most
likely is in reference to using the
entire round of ammunition from
a WWII machine gun belt. Other
references allude to lengths of

If we can but prevent the government from wasting the
labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of
them, they must become happy.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time
with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose
mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as
it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half
the wars of the world.
Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a
newspaper.
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude
from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man
with the wrong mental attitude.
When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and
hang on.
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of
civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
No man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation
which carried him into it.

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

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.

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

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.

Look for the answer in our Christmas 2021 issue!
From our last issue
The Hint, from our
Summer 2021 issue, was...
This is one of many murals by
the late, great Allen Hilgendorf,
who has been on many of our
covers in the past.
The Answer is:
This particular mural by Allen is
in Mildmay, and you can find
many, many more in Huron, Grey
& Bruce Counties among others.

The Hint is:
This might pop into

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!

It’s cold and wet and rainy.
A “deary day” to say the least.
I swear I’ll not go out there,
It’s not fit for man nor beast.
I’ll sit in here, and whine instead.
Where I am warm and dry.
Sit looking out our window
As this rainy day goes by.
I do enjoy the Autumn though.
The coloured leaves and things.
The beef I have with Autumn’s
What the season after brings.

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.

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.

Phobias… The fear of English people and things is called Anglophobia
Sept-Oct 2021
TOWN NAME, TOWN NAME and another awesome TOWN NAME
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
By Elaine Ballantyne, Bright
Page 26
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!”

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.

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

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

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,

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.

Apples-On-A-Stick with this recipe!
By Ruth
Sharon
Candy Apples
on-a-stick
Select firm, red apples. Wash & polish. For the sticks, use wooden
meat skewers or popsicle sticks. This recipe is easily doubled.
8 medium-size red apples
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Red food colouring
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.

TOWN NAME, TOWN NAME and another awesome TOWN NAME
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.

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

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

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.

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

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).

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.
