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 By Susan Iedema, London Our Cover Artist ONTARIO SHOP NY LOCAL Sorry, r y no public washrooms a available. a able le. 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! September-October, 2021 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.

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. A little piece of heaven! Have a Milkshake or Ice Cream at...
