The Case for Airbnbs<br />
I haven’t spent the night at a treefort<br />
in Alvinston or on a floating keg-shaped<br />
cabin near Kingsville, but am infinitely<br />
happier knowing that I can.<br />
There’s no doubt that people love<br />
Airbnbs and many if not most people<br />
prefer them over a hotel room. They offer<br />
a vast array of options for one person or for<br />
groups; kitchens often stocked with all the<br />
amenities you could imagine; decor that<br />
isn’t the exact same from room to room,<br />
hotel to hotel; and more than anything<br />
else... location, location, location.<br />
On the other hand, some people hate<br />
Airbnbs and similar cottage rentals or<br />
shared accommodations. These are<br />
generally the people who live next to them<br />
and are subjected to parties with more<br />
people staying that are intended or allowed.<br />
Local politicians aren’t usually too fond of<br />
them either, as they’re bound to hear the<br />
complaints from these neighbours. There<br />
are ongoing attempts to crack down on<br />
this type of misuse, though I’m not sure<br />
how well it’s working.<br />
The original intention was for an<br />
Airbnb to be in someone’s own residence,<br />
much like a traditional B&B without the<br />
breakfast. If the Poindexters had an extra<br />
room they could rent it out night by night<br />
to people who want to visit their town.<br />
The Carmichaels have a guest house that’s<br />
rarely used and they need a way to put the<br />
kids through college, so opening an Airbnb<br />
seems to be the perfect solution.<br />
While some still operate like that,<br />
it’s increasingly common for the house,<br />
cottage or apartment to be used only<br />
for guests. No one actually lives there.<br />
This has created several problems that<br />
are plaguing certain communities. It<br />
can create a lack of affordable housing<br />
as smaller homes and apartments are<br />
bought up by entrepreneurs, believing that<br />
they can make more money this way. It’s<br />
progressed to the point where many of<br />
these “homeowners” don’t live anywhere<br />
near the rental unit. When that’s the case,<br />
they have less concern for the damage it<br />
causes to the community. In a small town<br />
you expect that you could call the owner<br />
to tell them that 60 people are partying in<br />
the backyard and that the picnic table is<br />
being used as firewood. It’s less likely that<br />
neighbours would know the owner of an<br />
Airbnb in a larger city, but in the many<br />

small towns that <strong>Daytripping</strong> covers it’s<br />
quite common.<br />
In some cases municipalities are being<br />
asked to outlaw them, but they do fill an<br />
important void. I believe a more viable<br />
solution is to limit ownership to people<br />
who live in the same community and to<br />
fairly apply an accommodation tax if it also<br />
applies to hotels and motels in the region.<br />
For many years <strong>Daytripping</strong> had a large<br />
list of traditional bed-and-breakfasts in<br />
every issue but they declined in popularity<br />
for whatever reasons, and that started<br />
before Airbnb ever came along. Most small<br />
towns had a bed-and-breakfast or three and<br />
they were very handy for tourists, family<br />
members who felt more comfortable in their<br />
own place, wedding guests, etc. Without<br />
them, and without the more modern<br />
Airbnb, people have no option to spend<br />
a meaningful amount of time in a great<br />
portion of Southwestern Ontario that is truly<br />
worth discovering.<br />
Petrolia and Drayton have thriving theatres<br />
but no hotels. Port Rowan, Port Franks,<br />
Caledonia and Waterford are just a few of<br />
the gorgeous towns in our region that don’t<br />
have hotels. Some wonderful towns such as<br />
St. Marys, St. Thomas and Paris have the<br />
demand, but very few options. Many people<br />
love to visit our provincial parks but don’t<br />
want to camp. Shared accommodations can<br />
provide options where there simply isn’t<br />
enough business to support a motel or hotel.<br />
Airbnbs create the possibility for visitors<br />
to stay almost anywhere in our region<br />
no matter how rural it is and, despite the<br />
complications, that’s a good thing, worthy of<br />
a solution.<br />
The average daytripper spends about $80<br />
in a day, but that number balloons to $330<br />
if they stay overnight. The number one goal<br />
of all tourism promotion is to get people to<br />
stay overnight — to put “heads in beds.”<br />
Behind many multi day festivals you can<br />
bet there is a government tourism grant to<br />
build that event and give tourists a reason to<br />
stay in the area longer. The growth of many<br />
smaller festivals wanting to take that next<br />
step hinges on the likelihood that visitors<br />
can spend the night.<br />
You might not think of those shared<br />
accommodations as creating jobs, but they<br />
do. They make tourism possible where it<br />
otherwise wouldn’t be, and we need them.<br />

A Miracle<br />
By Hermina Nauta,<br />
Blenheim<br />
It was July 1947. The story is true<br />
about three young brothers from the<br />
Netherlands, Ralph, aged 11, John, aged<br />
13, and Dick, aged 14 years. They arrived<br />
in Canada in June of that year. Because<br />
they had ten more siblings, their parents<br />
looked and found jobs together for the<br />
three boys harvesting potatoes from the<br />
fields and putting them into fifty pound<br />
bags.<br />
They did not mind the hard work. In<br />
Friesland, where they grew up, they had<br />
worked hard piling peat moss for years<br />
already. The food that they were given<br />
was not too bad, but they had to sleep in<br />
a greenhouse in the middle of the field<br />
with only a garden hose for water. The<br />
trouble was the noise that the windows<br />

home and had no idea how<br />
to get back there – until<br />
one day when the truck<br />
that picked up the potatoes<br />
took them to the railroad<br />
track and the driver told<br />
them to follow the tracks<br />
into Chatham. So there<br />
they went, their few clothes<br />
in a pillowcase, no money,<br />
no water, no food, and only able to speak<br />
one or two words of English. Strangers<br />
in a strange land wandering and wishing<br />
for home.<br />
When it began to get dark, they asked<br />
for a place to sleep at a farm along the<br />
tracks, but because of the language<br />
barrier, it was assumed they were<br />
vagrants or street urchins and they were<br />
chased away. Out in the fields along<br />
the track, they leaned a few sheaves of<br />
barley together to form a make-shift tent<br />
and crawled under to keep at least the<br />
dew away. In the morning they wanted<br />
to start walking again, but without<br />
breakfast or water, tired and disoriented,<br />
they were not even sure which way they<br />
ought to go anymore.<br />
What were eyour favourite stops?<br />
Where did you start? Who went with you?<br />
Did you take in a show, go for a hike?<br />
What did you see along the way?<br />
We’d love to hear all about it, even if it’s just<br />
one place you found in<br />
<strong>Daytripping</strong>,<br />
and send us<br />
photos<br />
too!<br />
A train came by and so they began to<br />
follow it. On they walked through the hot,<br />
July sun. When it was almost dark, they<br />
came to a cross road. They didn’t know<br />
if they should take the road or keep going<br />
down the track. Then, as if by a miracle,<br />
a horse and wagon appeared and the<br />
driver pointed to the back of the wagon<br />
and the tired travelers climbed aboard.<br />
After what seemed like an hour, the<br />
driver stopped, pointed down a road, and<br />
said “Semkowich.” It was the name of<br />
the farmer where their parents worked.<br />
The three boys were so happy to finally<br />
be close to home with their family again.<br />
They started down the road; their mother<br />
stood waiting for them by the road at the<br />
end of the lane which led to their house.<br />
This was the life of some of the<br />
immigrants to Canada after the Second<br />
World War. Times have changed and<br />
there is much more support for refugees<br />
and immigrants today, but don’t ever<br />
think immigration is easy; there are<br />
always many challenges to overcome<br />
adjusting to life in a new world. Ralph<br />
says that he still has nightmares about<br />
this after nearly seventy years.<br />
Author’s note: I am John’s wife and he<br />
did not tell me this story until last year.<br />
Dick Nauta died at age 69 and he never<br />
told his wife, either. We asked Ralph and he<br />
said, “I still get nightmares about it.”<br />

Growing up in Essex County meant<br />
the easiest way to get just about<br />
anywhere in Ontario usually involved<br />
the 401. From this most southern part<br />
of Canada there were lots of entry<br />
points to the highway, everywhere from<br />
Windsor to Leamington. Most people<br />
chose the one closest to their home, but<br />
not my parents. They always insisted on<br />
taking the Talbot Trail through Wheatley,<br />
up to Blenheim and then meeting up<br />
with the 401 in West Lorne.<br />
Though it takes a bit longer to travel<br />
this way, it’s a beautiful route with<br />
houses, fields and farms sprinkled along<br />
the shores of Lake Erie. For my parents<br />
though, it’s more than just the scenery,<br />
it’s the memories.<br />
My dad was raised on a fruit farm<br />
in the little village of Ruthven, and as a<br />
teenager, would bike up the Talbot Trail<br />
to Bethel Park Camp in Rodney with his<br />

one time when they were feeling a<br />
little homesick and especially hungry<br />
they completed it in just over five. He<br />
remembers being Goderich chased by a big dog<br />

Kingsville Military Museum<br />
Publisher’s note: Did you know that<br />
Kingsville has a Military Museum? We<br />
didn’t until very recently, but it’s one<br />
more reason to visit this awesome town.<br />
In 1987 a group of<br />
veterans from the Kingsville<br />
Legion Branch 188 held<br />
a Memorabilia Night to<br />
showcase local history and<br />
their service during the war.<br />
From this overwhelming<br />
response an idea expanded<br />
from a one-time event into a<br />
more lasting presentation. A<br />
65 foot semi-trailer that was<br />
donated to the legion was<br />
outfitted to house the collection<br />
The first television sitcom debuted in 1946 and was called Pinwright’s Progress.<br />
Thursday-Sunday 10-4 after May 1st<br />
519-776-6909 www.ctmhv.com<br />
Story and photos by Kingsville Military Museum<br />
of uniforms, medals, and<br />
other memorabilia. This<br />
Mobile Museum was hauled<br />
to schools and to fairs.<br />
The collection grew so<br />
much that an old warehouse<br />
that was on this legion<br />
property, was refurbished as<br />
a museum from 1992 until<br />
1997. When the members<br />
were advised that this building<br />
had structural defects it was<br />
decided to construct a new<br />
building.<br />
In August 2000 the new<br />
Kingsville Historical Park Inc<br />
was opened. This complex<br />
included the museum, a<br />
range light, caboose, and<br />
fishing tug. Today all that<br />
remains is the museum.<br />
The museum was re-branded as<br />
the Kingsville Military Museum in<br />
October 2021 to showcase the<br />
military history of veterans from<br />
Kingsville and the surrounding<br />
area. There are artifacts from the<br />
Boer War, WWI, WWII, Korean<br />
War and Afghanistan War and<br />
Peacekeeping.<br />
You will also find a collection<br />
of farming and household items,<br />
Kingsville memorabilia, and a<br />
display board of historic houses in<br />
Kingsville.<br />

A-Gator<br />
By Vicki Hornick, Tilbury<br />
All I can tell you before you read this,<br />
is that my mother says this is a true story.<br />
My mother tells a lot of strange stories she<br />
says are true—we take them with a grain<br />
of salt.<br />
My mother has many times told the<br />
story of her great grandma’s pet alligator.<br />
My great-great gram got the alligator on<br />
a trip to Florida when it was a baby and<br />
smuggled it home.<br />
The alligator baby did what all well fed<br />
babies do, it grew. Gram thought she had<br />
a special pet as most pet owners do, so<br />
she allowed the alligator free run of the<br />
house.<br />
He was well fed and so was a happy<br />
alligator, never snappy.<br />
When he was small, A-gator had a<br />
dish of water to soak in; as he grew so<br />
did the water container. After about three<br />
years Gram simply left water in the bath<br />
tub and the bathroom door open.<br />
My mother said A-gator slept with<br />
Gram and would go to the tub whenever<br />
he dried out.<br />
He was eating whole chickens by then<br />
and his appetite was growing as fast as<br />
he was. Still my mother said he was so<br />
well fed and happy that he still wasn’t<br />
snappy or mean.<br />
It was a bright, hot summer day when<br />
A-gator, then about five feet long, went<br />
for a stroll.<br />
No animal wants to live its whole life<br />
indoors. Gram had left the doors open to<br />
let in a breeze; the open door let A-gator<br />
out.<br />
People and their animals ran<br />
screaming as A-gator unintentionally<br />
terrorized the neighbourhood. He<br />
didn’t hurt anyone; he was just<br />
taking himself for a walk<br />
on a summer day.<br />
Despite the panic,<br />
before anyone<br />
could get a gun or<br />
otherwise react<br />
A-gator began<br />
feeling dried out.<br />
He could have gone<br />
back to the house to<br />
the bathtub but another<br />
source of water attracted<br />
him. He squeezed through the opening<br />
at the side of the street into the sewer.<br />
Yes. An alligator in the sewer, now-adays<br />
it seems like an urban legend cliché.<br />
However A-gator did not roam down<br />
there like in the stories; he got stuck.<br />
Gram, upon learning where her<br />
beloved pet was, called the city<br />
demanding, then begging, “You have to<br />
Our Cover Artist<br />
Steve<br />
Harrington<br />
get him out!” She even offered to pay.<br />
The man in charge of city engineering<br />
flatly refused to spend time and money<br />
digging up the street, to free an illegal<br />
animal that would “attack and eat his<br />
men” when rescued. He did not know<br />
how soon he would regret that decision.<br />
Remember, it was a hot, sunny summer<br />
day and as often happens on such a day,<br />
there was a pop up thunder storm.<br />
As gram crouched by the sewer<br />
opening trying to sooth the trapped<br />
and increasingly frightened A-gator, it<br />
began to rain. In fact, it began to pour.<br />
Run off from about six inches<br />
of rain in fifteen minutes filled<br />
the storm drain; then backed<br />
up. With a fat, spoiled alligator<br />
blocking the pipe there was<br />
no where for the water to go.<br />
The neighbourhood flooded;<br />
basements and crawlspaces<br />
filled first, then even some<br />
ground floors.<br />
The city engineer had to send workers<br />
to dig up the street after all. The tragedy<br />
was by the time they came it was to<br />
remove the now drowned A-gator and<br />
return the body and a bill for damages<br />
to Gram.<br />
She refused to pay, used the money to<br />
have A-gator stuffed and kept him with<br />
her for the rest of her life.<br />

Steve Harrington<br />
1945-2019<br />
A resident of Bolton, Ontario, Steve Harrington was a retired<br />
professor at a college in Toronto and taught critical thinking and<br />
communication as well as literature, creative thinking and<br />
problem solving.<br />
This gave him the opportunity to lead tours to a variety of<br />
world destinations including backpacking through the<br />
Canadian Rockies, travelling above the Arctic Circle in Norway,<br />
into the Sahara in Morocco, and throughout Southeast Asia with<br />
a special focus on Thailand. He credits four tours to India for<br />
forming him most profoundly, both as a person and as a photographer. He described it as a<br />
magic land of extremes in every sense of the word. He also travelled to the Peruvian Andes,<br />
the back roads of West Virginia, and the fascinating richness of New Orleans.<br />
He had the gift of a keen eye to go along with his exceptional photography skills and his<br />
work right here in Ontario has been a perfect compliment for many <strong>Daytripping</strong> covers.<br />

Article<br />
Today would be no exception to<br />
the many surprises at Nanna’s place.<br />
Baking day had always involved the mix<br />
master but today I told Kendyl it was<br />
going to be very different. Her big blue<br />
eyes became fired up with curiosity as I<br />
brought the large wooden board up from<br />
the basement. My grandmother’s baking<br />
board was soon to become our special<br />
board.<br />
After she reminded me to put on our<br />
aprons, Kendyl and I washed our hands<br />
and proceeded to mix the ingredients.<br />
I had her complete attention as I cut<br />
the lard into the flour. Her tiny fingers<br />
marveled at the texture of the soft white<br />
particles. We added the wet ingredients<br />
and gave the mixture a few good stirs.<br />
I had plenty of help to flour the board<br />
well before dumping the mixture out.<br />
To make a large smooth round ball, we<br />
had to gently knead the mixture several<br />
times. Before I knew it our many fingers<br />
had done the job perfectly.<br />
Her eyes never left the dough as I cut<br />
off a piece and worked it into a ball. She<br />
was told to again flour the board<br />
and her tiny fingers eagerly obeyed<br />
my command.<br />
Placing the dough in front of her I<br />
showed her how to press it flat with<br />
her palm. Sprinkling more flour on<br />
the dough, she then used her small<br />
rolling pin to carefully roll the dough<br />
into a circle. Numerous times she<br />
had to add another smidgen of flour<br />
to keep things from sticking together.<br />
Her little fingers ran through the<br />
flour bowl, picking up just enough<br />
to do the job. Soon there was flour<br />
on her apron, on the floor and on<br />
the chair. What fun she was having and<br />
what fun Nanna was having just watching<br />
her. Her three year old body did not quite<br />
have the weight needed to flatten the<br />
dough to the appropriate thinness so with<br />
an extra little roll from Nanna the dough<br />
was ready for the next step.<br />
The circle of dough was folded in<br />
half and transfered to the pie plate. The<br />
soft pliable dough felt good under our<br />
fingertips as we patted the dough into<br />
place along the bottom and sides of the<br />
plate. We were soon ready to start filling<br />
the shell.<br />
I explained to her that it was important<br />
to sprinkle the bottom with tapioca. Her<br />
tiny fingers eagerly distributed the white<br />
crystals as they fell from the package. I<br />
told her that this was necessary to suck<br />
up the juices of the big yellow Crispins<br />
that we were going to use to make our<br />
pie. She was amazed at the size of these<br />

special apples. They looked even bigger<br />
as she tried to hold one in her tiny hand.<br />
As I peeled them, she watched the juice<br />
spray on my hand and on to the counter.<br />
We both agreed that these apples tasted<br />
delicious because we sampled a small<br />
slice from time to time. Soon the pie<br />
shell was filled and it was her turn to<br />
put a few spoons of sugar on the pile of<br />
slices. A few shakes of cinnamon with<br />
a few more shakes of tapioca made the<br />
filling complete.<br />
A second small ball of dough was<br />
prepared and rolled out to become the<br />
top of our pie. Again flour was abundant<br />
and concentration was intense. She<br />
watched in amazement as I sealed the<br />
top to the bottom and cut off the excess<br />
dough. Her little palms pressed down<br />
around the edges to insure a final seal.<br />
When I explained to her that it was<br />
now time to paint the pie, her eyes grew<br />
in anticipation. First she cracked and<br />
dropped an egg into a small bowl, which<br />
she had done many times before. After<br />
beating it slightly, I handed her a pastry<br />
brush and told her to cover the pie with<br />
egg. She looked like she was creating a<br />
masterpiece as she carefully and evenly<br />
distributed the egg along the surface of<br />
the pie. What pleasure she took in seeing<br />
the dough transform from dull white to<br />
shiny yellow. How proud we both were<br />
of the masterpiece we had created.<br />
The only thing that could top this<br />
feeling was the enjoyment we got in<br />
savouring the tasty dessert we had created<br />
together. Life is good. Grandchildren are<br />
everything.<br />
Publisher’s note: We’ve intentionally<br />
kept this article in storage since 2005.<br />
Betti wrote many articles about her<br />
grandchildren and we thought it might<br />
be interesting to leave one for the future.<br />
Kendyl is probably in her late 20’s by now,<br />
and maybe even has children of her own.<br />
We hope you enjoy it and hope that it finds<br />
its way to Kendyl.<br />

Christmas Decor,<br />
Entertaining Necessities<br />
& of course -<br />
the perfect gifts!<br />
You can check out but... See page 43<br />
This photo is of Harriston’s post office before a<br />
major restoration took place in the past decade.<br />
Among other things, it’s now home to “Escape the<br />
Olde Post” and while we haven’t had the chance<br />
to take this challenge it appears to be one of the<br />
best escape rooms going. If you’ve never tried<br />
one, here’s your chance to follow the clues and try<br />
to escape.<br />
Putting all our antique eggs in one basket... See page 76<br />
The SW Ontario Antique Tour has been the back page of <strong>Daytripping</strong> since our<br />
first issue in March 1995 but it’s a bit different this time. The various antique shops<br />
that advertise are now spread throughout the magazine on their own town pages<br />
i.e. Memory Lane Antiques is with other London shops. However, they’re all listed<br />
on one back page with a map so that you can see them all together like a brochure,<br />
but also along with other great stops in each town. We think this is the best of both<br />
worlds for our readers and our customers. We might stop fiddling with it now.<br />
Nova means “Newly Visible Star”... See page 68<br />
What we’ve never had enough of in <strong>Daytripping</strong> is<br />
spas. Pinecroft in Alymer has one in their pine forest but<br />
that may be the only one we’ve had the opportunity to<br />
promote. There are some fantastic spas in our region and<br />
we think our readers would travel to make this a part of<br />
a daytrip or overnight staycation, but it’s one area we’ve<br />
been lacking in. Along comes Terra Nova Nordic Spa near<br />
Woodstock that offers a retreat in a rural setting with<br />
everything you might expect but also a thermal experience<br />
Terra Nova Nordic Spa<br />
Photo: Facebook<br />
in Southwestern Ontario<br />
with a year-round outdoor hot pool, cold plunge, teepee<br />
and a geodome. It sounds like a real adventure that is well<br />
worth the drive.<br />
It Pays to Staycation... See our 2nd section cover<br />
Your chance to cash in on this one is running out. Ontarians are eligible for a tax<br />
credit—up to $200/person, $400/family—just for spending time in Ontario. It’s as<br />
simple as handing in your accommodation receipts when doing your taxes for <strong>2022</strong>,<br />
so keep those receipts! Also, here’s a tip: always check with a DMO (i.e. Tourism<br />
London or Tourism Sarnia-Lambton) because many of them are now offering gift<br />
certificates as incentives for booking accommodations. <strong>Daytripping</strong> is great, but<br />
Staycationing is even better!<br />
The Stonetown is One-of-a-Kind...<br />
See page 47<br />
If you’ve never been to St. Marys, just go. If you haven’t<br />
been there for a while, go again. It’s just such an incredibly<br />
gorgeous town to walk in, shop in or drive around and<br />
marvel at the architecture. Everyone should visit, and<br />
make a point of staying the night as well. The town pool<br />
is in a quarry, and that’s pretty cool too, but maybe a bit<br />
too cool at this time of year.<br />
Swing on by Thedford & Port Franks...<br />
See pages 31 & 36<br />
A long unsung portion of Lambton County that is home<br />
to Thedford and Port Franks has become very popular<br />
in recent years. A cluster of destinations has grown in<br />
significance lately; Twin Pines Orchards & Cider House,<br />
Grog’s Restaurant, Widder Station Golf, Grill & Taphouse and Shale Ridge Estate<br />
Winery have been attracting people from near and far with year-round outdoor<br />
patios, live entertainment, walking trails and even swings for seating—it’s a terrific<br />
outing! Widder Station is also the<br />
area’s best golf course and you can<br />
stay there with your RV. At least<br />
one reader’s wheels are spinning<br />
now. The trails in Port Franks are<br />
wonderful and the sand dune<br />

The Rant you didn’t read... See page 43<br />
Publisher’s note: I had my own nightmarish experince with the ArriveCAN app<br />
after it wouldn’t work and I was ordered to quarantine for 14 days having no<br />
symptoms, no contact and being fully vaccinated. I contacted my MP Marilyn Gladu<br />
and her office was able to have me exempted, but due to a lack of communication I<br />
still had to navigate the threats of forced confinement and a $5000 fine. As of today,<br />
September 21st, it is expected that this program will be shelved in a few days. That’s<br />
why you get a paragraph instead of a novel. For the record, I have done all I could to<br />
play well with others during this whole experience, but we need to use our resources<br />
wisely and rebuild our tourism industry.<br />

Wisdom of...<br />
SIGNS FROM GOD<br />
These were found on signs outside of churches.<br />
WHOEVER STOLE OUR A/C UNIT, KEEP IT.<br />
IT’S HOT WHERE YOU’RE GOING.<br />
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you<br />
just sit there.<br />
If stupidity got us into this mess, why can’t it get us out?<br />
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy<br />
things they don't want to impress people they don't like.<br />
Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.<br />
We can't all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the<br />
curb and applaud when they go by.<br />
Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find<br />
a rock.<br />
Income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.<br />
You've got to go out on a limb sometimes because that's<br />
where the fruit is.<br />
I never expected to see the day when girls would get<br />
sunburned in places they do today.<br />
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that<br />
comes from bad judgment.<br />
Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your<br />
parrot to the town gossip.<br />

A Bit of<br />
Advice<br />
By Joanne vanDam, Lucknow<br />
1955-<strong>2022</strong><br />
If your day did not go as you planned,<br />
Don’t let that cause you sorrow.<br />
Pull up your ‘big girl panties’ Dear,<br />
And try again tomorrow.<br />
Don’t be a ‘people pleaser,’<br />
Do what is right for you.<br />
Be a little-wee-bit selfish,<br />
If that helps to get you through.<br />
Not everyone will love you.<br />
That fact, my Dear, is fine.<br />
Just be happy with yourself.<br />
Let no one steal your shine.<br />
If you find you feel frustrated,<br />
And your patience all have flown.<br />
Give yourself permission,<br />
To spend some time alone.<br />
Keep your home and self clean,<br />
It’s important that you do.<br />
Throw away the clutter,<br />
You’ll feel better about you.<br />
If your hard work goes unnoticed,<br />
And your feelings get all messed.<br />
Pat your own self on the back,<br />
And know, you’ve done your best.<br />
If someone disappoints you,<br />
As some people often do.<br />
Don’t let that feeling break you,<br />
The one to please is YOU.<br />
If someone makes you doubt yourself,<br />
Don’t let them bring you down.<br />
Take a deep breath.<br />
Throw your shoulders back,<br />
And rearrange your crown.<br />
Do the best you can, each day,<br />
Put your worries on a shelf.<br />
And, most importantly my friend,<br />
Be sure to love yourself.<br />

PEOPLE WHO<br />
BECAME WORDS<br />
Captain Charles Boycott<br />
In 1880, during the<br />
Irish “land war”<br />
Captain Boycott was<br />
subject to ostracism<br />
after evicting land<br />
tenants. The Irish<br />
Land League proposed that<br />
anyone taking land after a<br />
previously evicted tenant be<br />
shunned, rather than resorting<br />
to violence. After it was applied<br />
to Boycott, it quickly became a<br />
verb meaning to refuse to deal<br />
with any person or organization<br />
that has treated others unfairly.<br />

HISTORY<br />
Petrolia was born in a fevered frenzy for oil in the 1860s.<br />
Petrolia’s boom proved to be unlike the earlier one in nearby Oil Springs. In Petrolia, the prolific King Wells kickstarted the<br />
oil rush in 1866. This led to rail and more oil discoveries. By 1884, Imperial Oil established its headquarters, refinery and barrel<br />
plant in town, sprawling over 50 acres. The boom stretched for more than three decades, making Petrolia the oil capital of<br />
Canada. And it was not just the vast quantities of oil, it was the ingenious technology the men developed and the expertise<br />
they took to open oil wells in 86 countries between 1873 and 1945. Petrolia produced large amounts of chemicals, boilers, stills,<br />
brass goods, and hand-forged driller tools that were shipped to all corners of the globe as coal was eclipsed by oil.<br />
GRACE<br />
Petrolia’s grand homes and buildings provide a visual history of immense wealth, the towns early settlers and entrepreneurs<br />
also created legacies for the generations that followed. In 1911 Charlotte and Jake Englehart endowed their beloved home,<br />
Glenview so the community would have a hospital. Since its inception, Charlotte’s House, as it is affectionately known by<br />
many locals, has remained a highly regarded and loved facility in the community and ensured the wellness of our ancestors and<br />
descendants.<br />
PRIDE<br />
Oil! That is what created the Best Town on Earth. Historic wealth is still evident in the homes, buildings, and parks. And<br />
yes…you can smell the oil. But our Heritage is much more than the black gold that continues to be drawn from creaking wells<br />
located just a short stroll from our thriving downtown. Oil may have enticed folks here, but Petrolia was created, nurtured, and<br />
sustained by hardworking visionaries, shopkeepers, builders, drillers, labourers, and leaders. Our residents have been and<br />
continue to be our greatest resource contributing an abundance of architecture, theatre, industry, education, healthcare, and<br />
social institutions.<br />
PERSEVERANCE<br />
Completed in 1889 at the height of Petrolia’s oil boom, Victoria Hall reflects a time when Petrolia was among the wealthiest<br />
towns in Canada. Victoria Hall has long been the social and political centre of the town's life.<br />
In its centennial year Victoria Hall experienced a catastrophic fire. In 1992, the renewed interior and restored exterior<br />
architecture of this magnificent landmark was celebrated.<br />
From it's days as an Opera House hosting grand balls and famous artists to todays professional theatre and continued service<br />
as Petrolia’s municipal office Victoria Hall represents a time when Petrolia was the oil capital of Canada.<br />
FUTURE<br />
As Petrolia grows, our history remains part of the cultural landscape in our buildings, oil fields and institutions. Our residents<br />
and visitors continue creating new legacies and our past lives comfortably with the future.<br />
Welcome to Petrolia. You’ll be Surprised!<br />
in Southwestern Ontario<br />
The five paintings are by Francis Martin. This project is in memory of Barbara Perrin, artist.<br />
Mural Celebrates the Life of Barbara Perrin<br />
No, that’s not Barbara Perrin portrayed in the above mural. That would be<br />
Charlotte Eleanor Englehart. She bequeathed her home to the town of Petrolia as a<br />
hospital, which it is to this day. That painting is one of five that <strong>Daytripping</strong><br />
commissioned local artist Francis Martin to create as the basis of a mural that will<br />
find a home in Petrolia’s historic downtown.<br />
Barbara Perrin was very well known as an artist that sought to preserve the rural<br />
elements of Lambton County through her sketches and paintings. Barns, windmills,<br />
one-room schoolhouses, fence posts—these were some of the everyday images that<br />
she imagined would be gone from the local landscape in time, and she aimed to<br />
capture them before they disappeared. Barbara was also well known to <strong>Daytripping</strong><br />
readers, having been on many covers including our very first, and our “Boots” logo<br />
is her work.<br />
Barbara passed away in 2013 and, with her relatives being older and living too<br />
far away, <strong>Daytripping</strong> publisher Mark Moran was left with countless books, drawings<br />
and art supplies and about 160 original paintings of various sizes. Many were<br />
donated to charities that were having silent auctions, but some were sold and the<br />
proceeds are being put toward this project. The Lambton County Creative Fund<br />
encourages culturally significant projects, and it matched those funds to make this<br />
mural possible. Numerous working drawings that were remarkable themselves have<br />
been donated to the Lambton Heritage Museum.<br />
Petrolia is a very special place for <strong>Daytripping</strong>. It was where John Redden first<br />
suggested the concept for this magazine and it was our home base for many years.<br />
It is a great honour for <strong>Daytripping</strong> to be able to create this project to preserve the<br />
memory of Barbara Perrin, but also encourage and display the work of another<br />
artist, Francis Martin of Watford.<br />
The five paintings reflecting Petrolia’s past and future are the work of Francis<br />
Martin, who has created murals in Watford, Strathroy and numerous other towns. The<br />
paintings have been photographed for the mural, have been donated to the Petrolia<br />
Heritage Committee and will be displayed in public buildings in the town. The mural<br />
itself is made of two 5’ x 10’ aluminum sheets.<br />

For geezers only...<br />
I am old. Somewhere between quite<br />
old and very old. Like many others of my<br />
vintage, I am aware of a growing divide<br />
with the society around us. It is changing<br />
at a faster pace than we can match.<br />
My car is 11 years old. I like it. It’s<br />
a bare-bones model sedan. It has a few<br />
digital dials and automatic transmission<br />
but no air conditioning, power windows,<br />
cruise contol, backup camera or other<br />
options offered when I purchased it. I<br />
didn’t need them, and they pushed the<br />
price of the car away out of my reach.<br />
Need is the key word for me. “But<br />
they’re so nice to have,” say the<br />
salespeople. I’m not built that way. If I<br />
do not need it, I do not want it. And I<br />
admit I wonder about those who think<br />
they do.<br />
Recently, I was in the waiting area of a<br />
big name car dealership. Behind where<br />
I was sitting was a brand new SUV all<br />
shined up and awaiting its new owners.<br />
Soon the salesman brought the uppermiddle-aged<br />
couple out to see their<br />
new baby. Then began his orientation<br />
lesson on where to find controls for all<br />
the bells, whistles and doo-dads the<br />
machine had, and how to use them. I<br />
By Kenneth Dawson<br />
reluctantly captured it all, despite not<br />
having my hearing aid that day.<br />
In addition to all the options<br />
mentioned above, he explained a<br />
system that warned if you veered out<br />
of your safe zone on the highway or if<br />
another car did the same to you. He<br />
seemed to tell how the tailgate had its<br />
own brain and wouldn’t open if it might<br />
hit you on the way up. The GPS and onboard<br />
mapping began leaving me far<br />
behind. By the time he explained the<br />
audio system my eavesdropping gave<br />
up. It was all beyond me.<br />
When my brain regained<br />
consciousness, I thought: no wonder<br />
these automobiles today cost what a<br />
modern family home cost when I was a<br />
young adult. Vehicles now are extensions<br />
of their owners with all the gadgets they<br />
think they need for satisfying lives.<br />
When you see how many of them<br />
drive today (especially when passing<br />
we dawdling, silver-haired “road hogs”),<br />
one wonders if all that extra money<br />
would be better spent learning how to<br />
drive safely, or at least more tolerantly.<br />
Maybe the industry should invent a<br />
control for road rage.<br />

Where Is It?<br />
The Hint is:<br />
If only trucks could fly. If you were in the<br />
driver’s seat you could likely count at least<br />
100 windmills on the horizon, for as far as<br />
the eye could see.<br />
Look for the answer in our<br />
Spring 2023 issue in mid-April<br />
From our Summer <strong>2022</strong> issue...<br />
The Hint was:<br />
It’s North America’s oldest and smallest<br />
jail, and that should be enough<br />
information for this one.<br />
The Answer is:<br />
Ye Olde Jail was built in 1890<br />
and it measures just 14.76 feet<br />
by 17.71 feet. It still features the<br />
original steel cell doors and<br />
stove and can be found at 135<br />
Queen Street in Rodney,<br />
Ontario.<br />

The Thanksgiving Bath<br />
I bet you’re wondering what the heck?<br />
Bathing? On Thanksgiving? What has<br />
this got to do with travel? Thanksgiving<br />
2020 was a dismal affair, and 2021 was<br />
shaping up to be—different. Covid was<br />
still hanging around like an unwanted<br />
guest, or, shall we say, pest.<br />
Not to be brought down by the onceagain<br />
rising cases of Covid, my daytripping-dude<br />
(spouse) and I set off to<br />
Rock Glen Conservation Area outside<br />
of Arkona last fall. This conservation<br />
area is part of the Ausable Bayfield<br />
Conservation Authority. It had been<br />
over 20 years since we visited.<br />
Once we arrived, we noticed that this<br />
out-of-the-way spot was now a popular<br />
picnic area, filled with like-minded<br />
folks who opted for an outside locale<br />
for their Thanksgiving lunch or dinner.<br />
We also realized that a lot had changed<br />
in 20 years. There were designated<br />
parking areas, washrooms, barbecues,<br />
potable water and two playgrounds.<br />
Included is the Arkona Lions Museum<br />
and Information Centre, which boasts a<br />
fluorescent mineral room with exhibits<br />
of fossils, meteorites and other displays<br />
and artifacts. Rock Glen is rich with<br />
Devonian-era fossils. The park is open<br />
seven days a week and there is a park<br />
entrance fee of $4.00 (children - 5 years<br />
and under are free). They will accept<br />
cash, debit and credit cards.<br />
After we parked and ate our packed<br />
lunch, we hit the hiking trails, and we<br />
soon realized that our idea of a quiet,<br />
relaxing walk through the woods was<br />
not to be. It was busy with people, along<br />
with their kids and dogs. So much for<br />
our day of Shinrin-yoku.<br />
In Japan, taking a hike or a stroll<br />
through a wooded area is called Shinrinyoku.<br />
Translated, it means forest<br />
bathing. The term was first coined<br />
in 1982 by the Japanese Ministry of<br />
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The<br />
exercise of shinrin-yoku encourages<br />
people to make contact by walking in a<br />
forest atmosphere, or simply spending<br />
time in a natural setting without the<br />
bathing suit. My kind of bathing!<br />
This physiological and psychological<br />
practice can be done at any time and<br />
season. Those who partake of this<br />
practice benefit from the therapeutic<br />
energy of fresh air from various plants<br />
and trees, reducing stress hormone<br />
production, lowering heart rate and<br />
blood pressure, boosting the immune<br />
system and accelerating recovery from<br />
illness. It also improves feelings of<br />
happiness and can elevate creativity.<br />
By J.J. Francissen, London<br />
Rock Glen is the perfect place to absorb<br />
the Carolinian forest atmosphere with its<br />
27 hectares and 1.5 km trail with steep<br />
stairways and scenic lookouts. Birds trill<br />
out their song as you pass by Sycamore,<br />
Sugar Maple, Beech and White Elm trees,<br />
to name a few of the trees in this area.<br />
Hearing birdsong always reduces my<br />
stress, which is music to my ears.<br />
There are over 50 types of wildflowers<br />
for those who love the flora. While,<br />
small mammals inhabit the area for<br />
those who love the fauna. I spent time<br />
photographing the flora, wanting to take<br />
a piece of the forest with me and to look<br />
at when I can’t get into the woods for a<br />
shinrin-yoku.<br />
Once you’ve hiked the trails, which<br />
cross over the Hobbs MacKenzie drain<br />
(a creek that empties into the Ausable<br />
River), you must visit the beautiful<br />
waterfalls.<br />
Those with mobility issues can find<br />
wheelchair-accessible trails to see the<br />
park highlights and an overlook to take<br />
in the 10.7-metre high waterfalls, the<br />
park’s crowning jewel.<br />
Like all waterfalls, the flow of water<br />
depends on the season. Due to the<br />
overabundance of rain that summer,<br />
the falls were stunning! Long veils of<br />
lacy water fell from the precipice above<br />
and into the creek below. Spray from<br />
the breeze as the water dropped cooled<br />
our heated skin, and it felt like heaven.<br />
In that regard, I had to be thankful to<br />
Mother Nature.<br />
Geocaching is another activity that<br />
takes place in Rock Glen. There is a<br />
Commemorative Woods in the park,<br />
where family and friends plant trees in<br />
memory of loved ones, a living legacy.<br />
Rock enthusiasts will like the fossil<br />
collection area, while those who love<br />
history will thrill by the significance of<br />
this area over the thousands of years.<br />
Visit the Arkona Room to view the<br />
historical photos that are on display.<br />
Due to the number of visitors to Rock<br />
Glen Conservation Area, our Shinrinyoku<br />
felt more like a communal bath.<br />
Yet, I was still grateful for the bountiful<br />
trees, which were showing off the<br />
change of colours, the fresh air, the<br />
birds singing and the forest bathing on<br />
this warm Thanksgiving day.<br />
Publisher’s Note: Just one question,<br />
Judy. We’re bathing in the forest without<br />
the bathing suit... are we wearing<br />
anything else? I’m going to assume you’ll<br />
say, “Yes.”<br />

Looking to experience a big city<br />
attraction without the crowds and noise?<br />
The little town of Clinton, just north of<br />
London, boasts a sparkling light tunnel<br />
fit to rival the ones in the big cities that<br />
inspired it. Thousands of lights strung<br />
between metal archways next to the<br />
historic town hall make a wonderful<br />
sight.<br />
The light tunnel is open year-round<br />
to the public and is especially attractive<br />
at night, as the lights flash, glitter, and<br />
dance. The programmable LEDs make<br />
it easy to change the displays often.<br />
Colours and patterns are set based on<br />
themes for different holidays and events,<br />
plus there is an illuminated sign in the<br />
tunnel itself that changes to match and<br />
makes a great background for photos.<br />
Since the light tunnel’s construction,<br />
it has already featured displays for<br />
holidays such as Christmas, Valentine’s<br />
Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and Mother’s<br />
Day. The town also likes to use the<br />
tunnel to recognize local events, such as<br />
programming team colours for hockey<br />
tournaments or making graduation<br />
signs to celebrate classes from high<br />
schools in town. Plans are already in the<br />
works for many future light programs<br />
and signs to keep the tunnel fresh and<br />
exciting all year.<br />
The light tunnel was built in an<br />
already iconic location in town:<br />
Spooner’s Lane. The lane used to run<br />
between the town hall and a block of<br />
storefronts before it was destroyed by<br />
a fire several years ago. This drastic<br />
change in the downtown streetscape<br />
triggered investment in Spooner’s Lane<br />
to transform it into a community space.<br />
A lovely bistro atmosphere was created<br />
with chairs, umbrellas, and flowers.<br />
Now, the light tunnel takes centre<br />
stage in the space. It has transformed<br />
Spooner’s Lane into a lover’s lane, with<br />
the lighting making it perfect for special<br />
memories. Although the tunnel was<br />
only completed this past winter, it has<br />
already been the site of a proposal, a<br />
baby announcement, wedding photos,<br />
and many significant moments. Visitors<br />
can add theirs by using #clintonlights<br />
across social media and tagging<br />
Municipality of Central Huron.<br />
The tunnel’s location at the heart of<br />
downtown also makes it easy to enjoy<br />
the small-town shops nearby and other<br />
unique local sights, such as the WWII<br />
radar antenna just down the street or<br />
the School on Wheels railcar museum<br />
in the Sloman Memorial Park at the<br />
edge of town.<br />
As Covid restrictions continue to<br />
ease, the town hopes to use the space<br />
for community events. The sparkling<br />
canopy will provide a perfect backdrop<br />
for wedding ceremonies, graduation<br />
and prom photos, birthday celebrations,<br />
and more. It will also be a great outdoor<br />
space for other events, such as wine<br />
and cheese nights or yoga.<br />

attraction! Find the light tunnel in<br />

As cooler weather returns, my<br />
thoughts also return to cold weather<br />
memories of my childhood. One such<br />
memory is of coming home from<br />
school, climbing the veranda stairs of the<br />
whitewashed, clapboard house where I<br />
grew up and seeing steamed up kitchen<br />
windows. This sight was evidence of the<br />
welcoming warmth within.<br />
My Mom would be there in the<br />
kitchen. Pots on the stove and a meat<br />
dish in the oven meant that she had<br />
started supper. Maybe there would be<br />

a fresh baked pie, or two, or<br />
cookies, cooling on a rack on<br />
the counter.<br />
The kitchen’s cast iron<br />
radiator was also where fingers<br />
and toes were thawed after my<br />
siblings and I had been outside<br />
playing on a cold, winter day. I<br />
can still remember the stinging<br />
pain that appeared as warmth<br />
returned to them.<br />
Once the chilly weather<br />
arrives, I still look forward to<br />
that welcoming warmth that<br />
greets me when I arrive home<br />
and walk through the door.<br />
I also look forward to the many<br />
changes and events that occur with the<br />
cooler weather and the new seasons of<br />
fall then winter.<br />
Halloween always brings a smile to<br />
my face as it evokes the same feelings<br />
I had as a child and produces an<br />
atmosphere of mystery, excitement and<br />
spookiness. Halloween is actually one of<br />
my favourite, fun times of the year!<br />
High on my list of things I will welcome<br />
with the drop in temperatures are all<br />
the heartier foods and baked dishes<br />
that appear on the menu, especially at<br />
Thanksgiving, then Christmas. Turkey<br />
and stuffing, ham, mashed potatoes and<br />
gravy as well as all the local vegetables<br />
like squash, carrots and turnip, to name<br />
just a few.<br />
The lights and decorations of<br />
Christmas were always awe inspiring<br />
as a child. As an adult I must admit<br />
my Christmas tree and decorations<br />
come out in November. They light<br />
up my world, and my apartment, on<br />
the shorter, darker days of winter. So,<br />
instead of putting them away after the<br />
holiday season has passed, I remove<br />
all Christmas themed items and my<br />
tree becomes a winter one. It usually<br />
remains up until about St. Patrick’s<br />
Day, possibly a bit longer, or shorter,<br />
depending on when winter decides to<br />
depart. Or when I think it’s time for<br />
spring to start!<br />
The icy cold conditions of winter<br />
also mean bundling up for a refreshing,<br />
invigorating walk, even if just to run<br />
errands. However, as a kid, running an<br />
errand usually meant it was my turn<br />
to walk to the store for milk. But, back<br />
then, this chore was akin to some type<br />
of punishment so I trudged along as<br />
woe was me!<br />
Putting pajamas on and getting<br />
under the blankets signaled bedtime in<br />
my younger years. Wool blankets were<br />
even sent over from relatives in the<br />
Netherlands to help keep us warm. I am<br />
sure letters and pictures home told of the<br />
Canadian winter weather conditions. As<br />
an adult though, putting jammies on<br />
and curling up under a blanket is a cue<br />
to relax and read, journal or watch a<br />
favourite program or movie.<br />
And how could I forget a good, hot<br />
cup of coffee as a cold weather comfort!<br />
Although as a child, coffee was not<br />
allowed. Apparently, it would turn my<br />
hair green! Instead there were special<br />
times on a Sunday afternoon when a<br />
cup of tea, with sugar and lots of milk,<br />
was served up in a beautiful teacup to<br />
my siblings and me.<br />
So as the days grow shorter and the<br />
warmth fades, memories of cold weather<br />
experiences invade my thoughts,<br />
especially one memory in particular<br />
from when I was a kid, coming home<br />
from school and seeing the welcoming<br />
sight of steamed up kitchen windows.<br />

Michael is the kind of guy you love to<br />
hate. He is always in a good mood and<br />
always has something positive to say:<br />
When someone would ask him how he<br />
was doing, he would reply, “if I were any<br />
better, I would be twins!” He was a natural<br />
motivator.<br />
If an employee was having a bad day,<br />
Michael was there telling the employee<br />
how to look on the positive side of the<br />
situation. Seeing this style really made me<br />
curious, so one day I went up to Michael<br />
and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t<br />
be a positive person all of the time. How<br />
do you do it?”<br />
Michael replied, “Each morning I<br />
wake up and say to myself, you have<br />
two choices today. You can choose to<br />
be in a good mood or you can choose<br />
to be in a bad mood; I choose to be in a<br />
good mood. Each time something bad<br />
happens, I can choose to be a victim or<br />
I can choose to learn from it; I choose to<br />
learn from it. Every time someone comes<br />
to me complaining, I can choose to accept<br />
their complaining or I can point out the<br />
positive side of life; I choose to point out<br />
the positive side of life.<br />
“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy,” I<br />
protested.<br />
“Yes, it is,” Michael said. “Life is all about<br />
choices. When you cut away all the junk,<br />
every situation is a choice. You choose how<br />
you react to situations. You choose how<br />
people affect your mood. You choose to be<br />
in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom<br />
line: It’s your choice how you live life.”<br />
I reflected on what Michael said. Soon<br />
thereafter, I left the tower Industry to start<br />
my own business. We lost touch, but I<br />
often thought about him when I made a<br />
choice about life instead of reacting to it.<br />
Several years later, I heard that Michael<br />
was involved in a serious accident, falling<br />
some 60 feet from a communication<br />
tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks<br />
of intensive care, Michael was released<br />
Positive Choices<br />
from the hospital with rods placed in his<br />
back. I saw Michael about six months after<br />
the accident. When I asked him how he<br />
was, he replied. “If I were any better, I’d<br />
be twins. Wanna see my scars?” I declined<br />
to see his wounds, but I did ask him what<br />
had gone through his mind as the accident<br />
took place.<br />
“The first thing that went through my<br />
mind was the well-being of my soon-to-beborn<br />
daughter, “ Michael replied. “Then,<br />
as I lay on the ground, I remembered that<br />
I had two choices: I could choose to live<br />
or I could choose to die; I chose to live.”<br />
“Weren’t you scared? Did you lose<br />
consciousness?” I asked.<br />
Michael continued, “...the paramedics<br />
were great. They kept telling me I was<br />
going to be fine. When they wheeled<br />
me into the ER though, and I saw the<br />
statements on the faces of the doctors and<br />
nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I<br />
read ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed<br />
to take action.”<br />
“What did you do?” I asked.<br />
“Well there was a big burly nurse<br />
shouting questions at me,” said Michael.<br />
“She asked if I was allergic to anything.<br />
‘Yes,’ I replied.<br />
The doctors and nurses stopped working<br />
as they waited for my reply. I took a deep<br />
breath and yelled, “Gravity.”<br />
Over their laughter, I told them, “I am<br />
choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am<br />
alive, not dead.”<br />
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his<br />
doctors, but also because of his amazing<br />
attitude. I learned from him that every day<br />
we have the choice to live fully. Attitude,<br />
after all, is everything.<br />
Life is a continuous series of choices.<br />
Some are big and some are smaller. Some<br />
are obvious and some are more subtle.<br />
Always, though, there are choices. Never<br />
are things completely out of our control<br />
since we always have the choice of how<br />
to react to them.<br />

A Small Miracle<br />
There wasn’t much Christmas<br />
spirit in my heart the year that<br />
I had started kindergarten. I<br />
was covered in red spots, my<br />
tummy hurt, my head was<br />
hot and achy and I had to stay<br />
in bed instead of being at the<br />
class party with all the other<br />
children. Well - not quite ‘all’<br />
- three others, my mother told<br />
me after talking to the teacher,<br />
where also in the thick of<br />
measles. Not the nicest of Christmas gifts<br />
to have been exchanged in a classroom<br />
of five-year-olds.<br />
One event did brighten the scene,<br />
though - my beloved Gran’s arrival on<br />
the earliest train she could catch. Mother<br />
must have had her hands full with a<br />
miserable little girl in bed, and a twoyear-old<br />
boy determined to sneak into<br />
the sickroom and play with his sister. She<br />
probably welcomed Gran as fervently<br />
as I did as I relished in the personal<br />
pampering, the lavender water dabbed<br />
on my forehead, and all the TLC.<br />
Snakes and Ladders, Parcheesi, Old<br />
Maid and Snap kept Gran busy in her<br />
role of amusing me, intended to make<br />
up for missing the party on the last day<br />
of school. Hardly a prima donna, the<br />
dear lady entertained me with off-key<br />
renditions of carols old and modern,<br />
although joining in the choruses made<br />
my own scratchy throat sore.<br />
She told me all the familiar stories<br />
over and over, but I don’t suppose I was<br />
as caught up in the birth of the Baby<br />
TIVERTON is the furthest north we’ll go in this issue of <strong>Daytripping</strong><br />
from <strong>Daytripping</strong> November-December 2004 issue<br />
by Jean Leedale Hobson,<br />
West Vancouver, BC<br />
Jesus as I was in the dismal<br />
thought that Santa Claus might<br />
not stop at our house. Would<br />
he dare to come down our<br />
chimney? Would I have an<br />
empty stocking at the foot of<br />
my bed on Christmas morning?<br />
And, oh dear, would my little<br />
brother miss out too, all because<br />
of me? Gran tried to assure me<br />
that the venerable old gent was<br />
immune to children’s germs<br />
on his important mission around the<br />
world, and anyway, the cold air around<br />
his sleigh would freeze any little nasties<br />
flying around.<br />
She was right, of course. On the big<br />
morning I woke to find my stocking<br />
overflowing with bounty from his bag,<br />
and a note was attached. In a hasty<br />
scrawl was printed: “Get well soon. Love,<br />
Santa. XXX.”<br />
After some porridge and juice, Mother<br />
took the tray away, replacing it with a<br />
stack of gifts on the bed. She and Gran<br />
rolled their eyes and threw up their<br />
hands as my little brother came in and<br />
clambered up on the patchwork quilt to<br />
join in the fun.<br />
Gran’s present was a doll, the kind<br />
that today would be a collector’s item,<br />
an antique of considerable value if only<br />
it had not, in time, gone to its welldeserved<br />
rest in dolly heaven. The face<br />
was fine porcelain, the features painted<br />
to perfection, with sky-blue eyes that<br />
really opened, thick lashes feathering<br />
her cheeks when her eyelids closed.<br />
Long golden ringlets were tied with<br />
blue ribbon bows. The clothes she wore<br />
were the height of fashion at the time,<br />
and Gran had knitted and sewn others.<br />
She was beautiful! I instantly named her<br />
‘Sylvia’ after my current best friend.<br />
Naturally I wanted her in bed with me<br />
that night, even though Mother and Gran<br />
gently advised against it in case Sylvia<br />
caught measles too. My pleas won out,<br />
and her golden head lay beside mine<br />
on the pillow, the need to keep my new<br />
friend close to me selfishly overriding the<br />
risk of contagion.<br />
Next morning, though, when I woke<br />
up, the china face was covered with red<br />
spots! Mother, Dad and Gran raced in at<br />
my initial shout, but instead of saying<br />
“We told you so,” they burst out laughing.<br />
Gran took a wet cloth and wiped the spots<br />

away, and Dad grinned as he showed me<br />
the smeared red palette and wet brush<br />
he’d used from the new paintbox Santa<br />
had left me. Sylvia’s remarkable recovery<br />
was a make-believe medical miracle. My<br />
little brother, though, when unfortunately<br />
his turn came, was most upset that his<br />
red spots couldn’t be erased as quickly<br />
as the dolly’s.<br />
Sylvia eventually succumbed, as dollies<br />
do, to too many years of undressing,<br />
dressing and hair-brushing, but I like to<br />
think that the story of her remarkable<br />
recovery has brought smiles to many<br />
a measle-marred little face over the<br />
generations since it happened. It’s a<br />

Bison Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash<br />
... Courtesy C t of f Copper Flats Bison Co., o , Wyoming<br />
Serves: 4 | Cooking Time: 35 minutes<br />
2 med acorn squash (cut in half<br />
width-wise & seeds scooped<br />
out)<br />
1 lb. mild italian bison sausage<br />
(casings removed)<br />
1 large onion, diced<br />
3 Tbsp. butter + 2 tsp butter<br />
2 cloves garlic, minced<br />
1 large apple, cored and diced<br />
2 cups fresh kale, chopped<br />
1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped<br />
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
optional: mild goat cheese<br />
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment<br />
paper.<br />
2) Place the squash halves on the baking sheet, seed side down. Roast<br />
for 25 minutes or until the squash is fork tender. Once done, set aside until filling is ready.<br />
3) While the squash roasts, make the filling. Start with caramelizing the onions. This should take about 25 min as<br />
well. Stir every 5 minutes or so to prevent burning. Once they are a deep golden brown, remove from heat and set<br />
aside.<br />
4) Heat a large saucepan to medium low heat and add 2 tsp butter to melt. Add the garlic and cook until just tender,<br />
then add all the sausage (casings removed) and increase the heat to medium.<br />
5) Cook the sausage, break up lumps, until just browned (5-8 minutes). Add the apples and herbs and continue to<br />
cook, stirring until the apples soften. Place the torn kale on top of the sausage mixture and cover the skillet to steam<br />
for 1-2 minutes. Stir and re-cover to continue steaming the kale, if necessary. Once the kale is wilted, remove the pan<br />
from heat.<br />
6) Add the caramelized onions to the sausage mixture. Set your oven to<br />
broil, then fill all 4 halves of the squash with the stuffing mixture. If you<br />
would like, this is where you can add a little goat cheese on top.<br />
7) Arrange the squash on the baking sheet, stuffing side up. Broil for 2-3<br />
minutes making sure not to overbrown the squash. Serve immediately.<br />

Frances’ Helpful Hints<br />
by Frances Botham<br />
1) Did you know that when a broom is hung up it keeps<br />
its shape better and sweeps more evenly than those left<br />
standing? Dip your broom in warm water periodically to<br />
prolong its life.<br />
2) Did you know that baskets should be misted with lukewarm water at<br />
least once a month to retain their supple nature?<br />
3) Feather pillows sometimes acquire a musty odour. Remove the pillow<br />
cover and place the pillow before a fire or near a heat source. Fluff it after<br />
about an hour and turn it over. This intense drying will eliminate the<br />
odour. It does not work when you place the pillow in the clothes dryer.<br />
4) A spice mill or pepper mill should be cleaned occasionally by grinding<br />
a handful of raw rice.<br />
5) Many people are now using kerosene lamps instead of candles<br />
particularly during the Christmas season. Lamp oil in seasonal colours<br />
and scents can now be readily acquired. There is some basic lamp care<br />
that should be followed. Wicks should be soaked in oil before being lit.<br />
When the lamp is lit the wick should be turned down and slowly raised.<br />
Wicks should be only long enough to reach the bottom of the oil<br />
reservoir. Wicks should be so wide that they quite fill the wick holder<br />
without having to be squeezed into it. The wick should be cut in the<br />
shape of an inverted “V”. When it’s time to extinguish the flame put your<br />
hand behind the chimney and blow straight across the top of the<br />
chimney. Do not turn the wick down into the lamp oil reservoir to<br />
extinguish the flame.<br />

Magician Maybe<br />
Do you have one of those husbands<br />
who loses something almost every day<br />
of the year? I know I do and it is both<br />
funny and stimulating to watch the<br />
steps happening. They have this magical<br />
talent of making things disappear to<br />
sometimes or never to be found again.<br />
A magician—I think not.<br />
“Honey where did you put my new<br />
socks? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t<br />
seem to find them.” First off, I did not<br />
put away his new socks because he said<br />
he would take care of that job. Oh good,<br />
I thought. If he puts them where he can<br />
find them, he won’t lose them. Right?<br />
Wrong. Most husbands hunt for things<br />
like a packrat looking for grubs. Dig,<br />
dig, dig and repeat. If only when they<br />
were digging they stopped to consider<br />
what they are bypassing, they might<br />
find what they are actually looking for.<br />
Hence, the socks are located near the<br />
top of the pile, just a little to the right of<br />
where you are focusing your search. As<br />
I said, he is a so-so magician.<br />
“I know I left that 3/8 wrench right<br />
here when I went for parts. Did you<br />
move it or put it back?” I’ve learned the<br />
hard way never to put away his tools<br />
until he actually expresses the feeling<br />
that that is a wrap and we can move<br />
onto something else. It’s not that he<br />
doesn’t have at least three other 3/8<br />
wrenches hanging in plain sight on<br />
the hook that says 3/8 but he always<br />
wants the same one to finish the job<br />
he started. Maybe superstition like the<br />
hockey players and their stinky socks.<br />
Who knows? Eventually the wrench<br />
is located right where he left it on the<br />
fender of the vehicle. Tools do not grow<br />
legs and walk away, but you would think<br />
so at times. Funny when he finds it<br />
you hear a quiet little rebuke,”So that’s<br />
where you’ve been hiding.”<br />
There are numbered drawers for<br />
every known piece of ‘stuff’ in the<br />
shed. There are signs and<br />
numbers for all the tools<br />
lining the walls—and<br />
still things magically<br />
move and are placed<br />
Mon-Sat 10-5<br />
By Agnes Burroughs,<br />
Dorchester<br />
in the most unlikely spots. He’s very<br />
organized... maybe too organized. “I<br />
know I put it some place special so I<br />
would remember when I came back<br />
to get it. I just can’t remember where<br />
that special place was.” He tries to recall<br />
what he was doing when he was finding<br />
a spot to put something, so he can recall<br />
where he might have located said part.<br />
This could have been four months ago,<br />
so good luck with that thought process.<br />
I must remark though, that there are<br />
hundreds of parts for very specific jobs<br />
that are unique to certain jobs, and no<br />
others will work. The snow blower is<br />
used only in the winter and has very<br />
specific spools that fit over the metal bars<br />
on the ends of the tractor arms to make<br />
them secure. I say leave them with that<br />
particular item, but no, they must come<br />
into the shed and be placed somewhere<br />
special which eight months from now<br />
will be impossible to locate. Oh well,<br />
the fun part is it keeps us perpetually in<br />
motion looking for one thing, and finding<br />
others we were looking for a month ago.<br />
There is not enough paper to cover all<br />
the things we have lost over the years,<br />
but it sure has been fun losing, finding<br />
and losing again year after year.<br />

She gazed out at the blanket of snow<br />
that covered the backyard. Without<br />
borders its terrain looked foreign, almost<br />
surreal somehow. Except for a few wind<br />
blown drifts, the surface was smooth<br />
and untouched making it look devoid<br />
of character. The sunlight seemed too<br />
harsh and intense, like a spotlight on<br />
an empty stage. It reminded her of an<br />
untouched canvas. Closing her eyes, she<br />
visualized her backyard clearly.<br />
The snow lay flattened in a state<br />
of disarray with hundreds of little<br />
indentations upon the earth as individual<br />
as the flakes beneath them. Tiny<br />
footprints scattered in random patterns<br />
trampled the whiteness making the<br />
yard look worn and valued. The<br />
outline where small bodies<br />
had made angels lay like<br />
empty moulds ready to<br />
be filled with a lifetime<br />
of joy. An abandoned<br />
piece of cardboard lay<br />
beside a fort with two<br />
entrances, and a top<br />
heavy snowman with<br />
one eye seemed to<br />
welcome you into this<br />
white world. Even the<br />
dog had left his trail on<br />
this loving map.<br />
She had spent<br />
many hours in this very<br />
spot in her warm bright<br />
kitchen observing rosy<br />
cheeks, runny noses<br />
and striped mittens.<br />
Her children would<br />

play while she would appreciate the<br />
silence of the house. Stopping every<br />
now and then between some domestic<br />
chore, she would marvel at their joy of<br />
being outdoors. A simplistic fun that<br />
cost and required nothing more than<br />
what Mother Nature had provided.<br />
They would reluctantly come inside<br />
bringing with them the delicious scent<br />
of the cold and outdoors. She could still<br />
hear the sound of hats being pulled off<br />
their heads, static making their golden<br />
hair stand on end. Bright eyed and<br />
flushed, they would make a mad dash<br />
to the kitchen leaving behind puddles<br />
of snow and water along with discarded<br />
boots kicked off haphazardly. Soggy<br />
mitts and scarves would lie over<br />
the heat registers filling the<br />
house with the smell of<br />
warm wool.<br />
Opening her eyes,<br />
she smiled as she recalled<br />
those loving memories<br />
like a treasured<br />
photograph. It had been<br />
years since her children’s<br />
world had expanded far<br />
beyond the backyard,<br />
but somehow they were<br />
still here with her.<br />
It was comforting<br />
to know that while the<br />
seasons may change<br />
and the view from the<br />
windowpane may be<br />
different, the past as she<br />
lived it would never be<br />
far away.<br />

A Fairy Tale for the New Millennium<br />
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent,<br />
self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating<br />
ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow<br />
near her castle.<br />
The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said, "Elegant lady, I was once a<br />
handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you,<br />
however; and I will turn back into the dapper young prince that I am."<br />
The frog went on, "And then, my sweet, we can marry and set up house in<br />
yonder castle with my mother, where you can prepare my<br />
meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and forever feel<br />
grateful and happy doing so."<br />
That night, on a repast of lightly sauteed frogs legs<br />
seasoned in a white wine and onion cream<br />
sauce, the princess chuckled to herself and<br />
thought, "I don't think so Mr. Frog."<br />

Grandma’s Quilt<br />
Suffering from middle-aged<br />
insomnia, the ad caught my eye.<br />
“Dragon’s Den Fight Over This<br />
Canadian Sleep Start Up.”<br />
Intrigued, I read on.<br />
“This weighted ‘Hush Blanket’<br />
induces sleep and is a revolutionary fix<br />
for sleeplessness.”<br />
Revolutionary? Ha! My Grandma<br />
made the first “Hush Blanket” 70 years<br />
ago. It was a quilt that had to weigh at<br />
least 30 pounds.<br />
My bedroom on the prairies was so<br />
cold in the winter that I could carve my<br />
initials on the frost that had formed on<br />
the INSIDE window pane. You didn’t<br />
need curtains because the ice was so<br />
thick it blocked out the light, the first<br />
“frosted window,” so to speak.<br />
My Mom used to slide one of those<br />
heavy rubber red hot water bottles<br />
wrapped in a towel between the sheets<br />
at the foot of the bed, but it did nothing<br />
to warm up the rest of the mattress.<br />
Hopping around on one foot, trying<br />
to put on your flannelette pajamas<br />
or nightgown (usually made from old<br />
sheets) and then crawling in was a frigid<br />
eye opener. But then it was Grandma’s<br />
quilt to the rescue.<br />
You snuggled in under the flannelette<br />
sheet, topped by a wool blanket with<br />
satin trim, the bedspread, and then<br />
Grandma’s quilt. It was a patchwork<br />
creation, made from dribs and drabs<br />
of material, some as old as Grandma<br />
herself. Some were backed with denim,<br />
others with thick cotton or linen. Some<br />
had tufts of wool sticking out of each<br />
patch. Some had been carted over<br />
from the “old country.” But they all had<br />
one thing in common: they<br />
weighed a ton and once<br />
under them you literally<br />
could not move and<br />
slept in the same<br />
position all night.<br />
The quilts were great<br />
for curing a fever. You<br />
could sweat one out<br />
in a single night.<br />
You’d be soaking wet<br />
By Lee Michaels,<br />
Sarnia<br />
but it was so cold outside the sheets you<br />
didn’t dare try to throw it off, instead<br />
trying to inch your way around to find a<br />
cooler spot on the bed.<br />
But the best thing was the “tickle<br />
blanket” otherwise known as the<br />
universal pacifier. That satin edge was<br />
so soothing. As a pre-schooler, I used to<br />
suck my thumb and rub it along the side<br />
of my face as I was going to sleep. As<br />
I grew older the thumb-sucking stopped<br />
but the tickling did not. Over the years,<br />
the corners became frayed, and at times<br />
a little ratty looking. The tickle blanket<br />
didn’t get washed much because it was<br />
too difficult to put through the ringer<br />
washing machine. Mom would wash<br />
the satin edges and hang it out on the<br />
clothesline to dry, carefully re-sewing the<br />
corners to get the perfect crisp “tickle”<br />
edge. Grandma’s quilt had to be laid out<br />
on bales of hay or the ground to air out<br />
in the summer because it was so heavy<br />
it likely would have pulled the clothesline<br />
pole right out of the ground.<br />
I would love to have Grandma’s quilt<br />
right now, although it would be murder<br />
for a menopausal woman. I never knew<br />
what happened to it or when it simply<br />
disappeared.<br />
I still do have my own “tickle blanket.”<br />
The corners are less grubby but when<br />
the sandman is missing it’s corners take<br />
me back to simpler times and I’m soon<br />
sawing logs, although I no longer suck<br />
my thumb.<br />
How many of you remember<br />
Grandma’s quilt and the tickle blanket?<br />
Editor’s Note: There are still several<br />
of these patchwork, weighty blankets<br />
in my family, passed down from my<br />
grandmother and even my great<br />
grandmother. They may be<br />
tattered in spots and some<br />
patches worn right out, but<br />
are still loved and used<br />
regularly. I particularly<br />
love the patches of<br />
Grandpa’s pants and<br />
Grandma’s dresses that I<br />
remember them wearing<br />
when I was young.<br />

How to<br />
Bathe<br />
A Cat<br />
STEP 1: Thoroughly clean the toilet.<br />
STEP 2: Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet<br />
water, and have both lids lifted.<br />
STEP 3: Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him<br />
towards the bathroom.<br />
STEP 4: In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet<br />
and close both lids. (You may need to stand on the lid<br />
so that he cannot escape). Caution: Do not get any part<br />
of your body close to the edge, as his paws will be<br />
reaching out for anything they can find.<br />
STEP 5: Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides<br />
a power wash/rinse, which I have found to be quite<br />
effective.<br />
STEP 6: Have someone open the door to the outside. Ensure that<br />
there are no people between the toilet and outside door.<br />
STEP 7: Crouch behind the toilet as far as you possibly can,<br />
and with a towel draped over your head, quickly<br />
lift both lids.<br />
STEP 8: The now-clean cat will rocket out of<br />
the toilet and run outside where he<br />
will dry himself.<br />

Once a Home<br />
By Janet Fraser, Chatham<br />
The American dollar goes a lot further in Canada and the Canadian dollar doesn’t get too far<br />
in the United States<br />
The hinges on the screen door creaked<br />
as she slowly pushed it open and stepped<br />
gingerly inside. The old farmhouse had<br />
been abandoned for years, evident by<br />
the broken windows, junk strewn all over<br />
the floor and signs of animal activity.<br />
Broken dishes and shattered window<br />
panes crunched under her shoes.<br />
Tracy stopped and looked around. This<br />
had been the kitchen. Someone cooked<br />
dinner on that white enamel stove as<br />
the rest of the family sat at that table<br />
discussing their day, doing homework,<br />
laughing and at times, crying. Now<br />
<strong>Daytripping</strong> Photo<br />
there was only emptiness. She took up<br />
her camera and started taking pictures.<br />
Careful where she set her feet, she<br />
photographed almost every inch of the<br />
room then moved toward the living<br />
room. Debris consisting of a three-legged<br />
chair, straw furniture stuffing, broken<br />
picture frames, and books covered the<br />
hardwood floor.<br />
Taking more pictures, Tracy made her<br />
way toward the staircase. With newels<br />
missing and wooden steps warped from<br />
water damage or missing, she climbed<br />
the stairs using the wall to balance as she<br />
did not trust the railing. There<br />
were three bedrooms and<br />
a bathroom complete with<br />
a broken mirror, a cracked<br />
commode and an enamel<br />
claw footed tub. Chrome<br />
plated fixtures, peeling and<br />
rusting contrasted against the<br />
black and white floor tiles,<br />
pink and blue wall tiles and<br />
the water damaged, mouldy<br />
ceiling.<br />
The first bedroom was<br />
small, wallpapered with<br />
cowboys on horses<br />
brandishing lassos and<br />
six shooters. A twin sized,<br />
brown metal bed frame<br />
and spring were leaning<br />
against a wall and a small<br />
wooden school desk sat in<br />
a corner. Tracy imagined<br />
a young boy sitting at<br />
the desk gluing a model<br />
airplane together. Smiling<br />
she raised the camera to<br />
her eye and took more<br />
photographs. The other<br />
two rooms were in similar<br />
disarray. The larger room had flowery<br />
wallpaper and remnants of a chest of<br />
drawers while the end bedroom was once<br />
painted pink but the plaster walls were<br />
crumbling.<br />
A mother and father and their son<br />
and daughter had lived here. Tracy could<br />
almost hear them getting ready for work,<br />
getting ready for school, getting ready<br />
for bed. The din of a home. She made<br />
her way back down the stairs and out the<br />
back door.<br />
The backyard was overgrown with<br />
vegetation and vine covered trees. A<br />
tire with a rope attached lay under an<br />
old willow tree, weeds growing through<br />
it like a flower planter. A bicycle with<br />
bent wheels leaned against what was<br />
<strong>Daytripping</strong> Photo<br />
probably a tool shed. Looking back at<br />
the house, Tracy took more photos of the<br />
sunken roof line and the chimney with<br />
bricks missing. This house was not long<br />
for this world.<br />
Walking toward her car, Tracy pushed<br />
the remote control to open her trunk.<br />
She pulled the camera over her head<br />
and carefully put in its case. Closing the<br />
trunk, she took another look back at the<br />
old house. The house that once was a<br />
home. She opened the driver side door,<br />
settled into her seat, turned the key in<br />
the ignition and slowly drove off down<br />
the gravel road into the setting sun.<br />
Publisher’s Note: I’ve checked out and<br />
photographed quite a few over the years<br />
and your description brings me back to<br />

By Cathy Dobson, Sarnia<br />
It’s the freshly-baked butter tarts and<br />
the dill pickle bread that attract me to<br />
The Good Bread Company but there<br />
are dozens of other artisan breads and<br />
pastries that draw customers to this busy<br />
spot in the historic hamlet of Vittoria.<br />
Vittoria is in Southwestern Ontario’s<br />
Norfolk County, minutes from the towns<br />
of Simcoe and Port Dover, and just three<br />
miles from the shores of Lake Erie.<br />
burning<br />
kiln<br />
It’s a friendly little community that<br />
appealed to Good Bread Company owner<br />
Richard Posavad when he bought the<br />
business about a decade ago. After many<br />
years in the Greater Toronto Area, Posavad<br />
wanted to escape the big city.<br />
“I found a hobby farm near Waterford<br />
(a 20-minute drive from Vittoria) and fell<br />
in love with the area,” he said. “There’s<br />
something about the vibe here. It feels<br />
like you’ve gone back to a better, quieter<br />
time.<br />
“People tell me all the time that they<br />
daytrip to The Good Bread Company<br />
because it’s such a nice retreat and an<br />
easy drive.”<br />
In the early days of the bakery, he and<br />
his business partner, Daniel Pruden, spent<br />
months seeking out and tweaking recipes<br />
they sourced from people and places they<br />
knew and trusted.<br />
“Daniel does the baking but I am a<br />
winery<br />

big part of the product development,”<br />
Posavad explained. “We’ve done a lot of<br />
trial and error because we take a really<br />
great recipe passed down generation to<br />
generation, and do an upscale version<br />
that is better than what people expect.”<br />
Among The Good Bread Company’s<br />
best sellers are old-fashioned ginger<br />
snaps, sourdough scones and heritage<br />
butter tarts filled strictly with fresh<br />
ingredients.<br />
“We use a sour dough recipe that<br />
was developed in a monastery and a<br />
150-year-old fruit cake recipe that came<br />
from a friend’s grandma in Quebec. All<br />
the recipes were good to start with and<br />
we made them even better.”<br />
In 2019, The Good Bread Company<br />
outgrew its first home and moved into<br />
a former Baptist church on Vittoria’s<br />
Lamport Street that still has its original<br />
stained glass windows and other<br />
significant architectural features.<br />
Built in 1852, the historic building was<br />
the second oldest Baptist church in Canada<br />
and once had the oldest congregation of<br />
any denomination in Norfolk County.<br />
“We couldn’t resist buying it,” said<br />
Posavad. “It’s perfect for us.” Once<br />
renovated, the old church accommodated<br />
the bakery on its lower level, a café, as<br />
well as a unique hall that was once the<br />
sanctuary on the main floor where<br />
weddings, gift shows, art exhibits and<br />
concerts are hosted.<br />
“We call it Richard’s Hall and it’s very<br />
picturesque,” said Posavad. “The energy<br />
in the hall is very healing and very<br />
positive and we anticipate there will be<br />
many special events held there now that<br />
pandemic restrictions are lifting.”<br />
The kitchens at Good Bread Company<br />
produce about a dozen kinds of chemicalfree<br />
artisanal loaves, all made with<br />
The Good Bread Co. photo<br />
Canadian wheat and rye. Varieties rotate<br />
and Posavad recommends checking out<br />
the company’s Facebook page to see<br />
what is on the menu.<br />
The café offers gourmet sandwiches,<br />
sweets, pastries, and sells a variety of<br />
homemade granolas, pancake mixes,<br />
Mennonite preserves and local honey.<br />
There’s indoor seating but also several<br />
picnic tables outside the café.<br />
The Good Bread Company is located<br />
in a region of the province brimming<br />
with interesting daytripping possibilities.<br />
Vittoria is about a 15-minute drive from<br />
Simcoe, home of the Capitol Arts Market<br />
and The Blue Elephant Artisan Brewery.<br />
It’s 24 kilometres from Waterford’s Alice<br />
Street Antique Market and 11 kilometres<br />
from The Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover<br />
and the Port Dover Harbour Museum.<br />

At a recent library book sale, I was<br />
startled to find a book card still tucked<br />
into the book pocket. Exactly the kind<br />
in use when I began my career in the<br />
Tillsonburg Public Library.<br />
Perhaps, in this present day, anyone<br />
of the current generation would be<br />
horrified at such a blatant violation of a<br />
library user’s privacy.<br />
Of course, a patron would need to<br />
know who belonged to #St393. But it’s<br />
the principle of the thing, today’s patron<br />
would exclaim.<br />
Well, back in the day, we weren’t<br />
that stuffy about privacy, especially<br />
because my patrons who might have<br />
known #ST393 would have been glad to<br />
recognize the number. That’s because<br />

A Paean to the Humble Library Book Card<br />
By Matt Scholtz, Retired CEO of the Tillsonburg Public Library<br />
they trusted ST393’s literary taste and<br />
were glad to find a book with his/her<br />
imprimatur.<br />
And they welcomed the chance to<br />
put their own library card number<br />
on a book card to draw their friends’<br />
attention to the book.<br />
One tries to imagine what lively<br />
discussions ensued when #214 called<br />
#ST393 to share his/her comments on<br />
the book. And have they read anything<br />
else by this author?<br />
A detective might find that there were<br />
no renewals on this book card. Was it an<br />
easy and quick read? Or was it rather<br />
disappointing, and abandoned before<br />
the due date?<br />
Then there’s the branch librarian who<br />
A smile is quite a funny thing -<br />
It wrinkles up your face,<br />
And when it’s gone you never find<br />
It’s secret hiding place.<br />
But far more wonderful it is<br />
To see what smiles can do;<br />
You smile at one, he smiles at you,<br />
And so one smile makes two.<br />
He smiles at someone since you smiled,<br />
And then that one smiles back;<br />
And that one smiles until in truth<br />
You fail in keeping track.<br />
And since a smile can do great good<br />
By cheering hearts of care -<br />
Let’s smile and smile and not forget<br />
That smiles go everywhere.<br />
checked this book out for her patron.<br />
Did they chat briefly about the weather,<br />
or some village gossip<br />
making the rounds?<br />
Is a family member<br />
recovering well from<br />
a recent operation?<br />
The minister’s sermon<br />
on Sunday went on<br />
a tad too long. Was it<br />
true that Jennifer was<br />
suddenly flashing an<br />
engagement ring?<br />
So all these<br />
memories came<br />
flooding back to me<br />
when I found that<br />
old book card in that<br />
A Smile<br />
Author Unknown<br />
discarded library book.<br />
Published in 1978, the book’s now<br />
unknown readers, as identified on this<br />
book card, may no longer be with us.<br />
But they have left their mark on this<br />
book by virtue of the book<br />
card.<br />
Their fingers opened the<br />
book, turned the pages, and<br />
closed it at the end of the day.<br />
Likely, by now, they have<br />
been forgotten by others.<br />
But for a few brief moments,<br />
they have been called to my<br />
mind because of this book<br />
card.<br />
And they will vanish into<br />
the mists of time when I<br />
discard it.<br />
I think I will keep it for<br />
just a little while longer.<br />

The<br />
"Smart Poodle"<br />
A wealthy woman decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her<br />
faithful pet poodle along for company. One day the poodle starts<br />
chasing butterflies and before long he discovers that he is lost.<br />
Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading in his direction with the<br />
obvious intention of having lunch. The poodle thinks, “Uh-oh, I’m in deep<br />
trouble!” Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately<br />
settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.<br />
Just as the leopard is about to leap, the poodle exclaims loudly, “Boy,<br />
that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around<br />
here?” Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, a look of<br />
terror comes over him, and he slinks away. “Whew,” says the leopard.<br />
“That was close. That poodle nearly had me.” Meanwhile, a monkey who<br />
had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can<br />
put his knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the<br />
leopard. So, off he goes. But the poodle sees him heading after the<br />
leopard, and figures something must be up. The monkey catches up with<br />
the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself. The leopard is<br />
furious at being made a fool of and says, “Monkey, hop on my back and<br />
see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine.” The poodle sees<br />
the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, “What do I<br />
do now?” But instead of running, he sits down with his back to his<br />
attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them and when they get close<br />
enough, the poodle says, “Where’s that damn monkey? I sent him off<br />
half an hour ago to bring me another leopard!”<br />

Phrase Origins Bury the Hatchet<br />
Refers to settling your differences with someone. It comes<br />
from an American Indian tradition, when hatchets were<br />
symbolically buried (some say under cypress trees) when<br />
they came to a peaceful agreement. Some accounts say the<br />
tribes would bury all their weapons, but since this would have left<br />
them defenceless, it really isn’t a plausible explanation.<br />

Here’s e’<br />
s to<br />
your good health!<br />
Poached dS<br />
Salmon<br />
Fish is highly recommended when eating a Mediterranean style diet. Fish, such as<br />
salmon, that boasts the heart-healthy Omega 3 fatty acid is often on the menu.<br />
1 pound salmon, fillet or steaks<br />
8 cups chicken broth<br />
2 tbsps. lite soy sauce<br />
2 green onions, chopped<br />
1 tbsp. fresh ginger, grated<br />
1 clove garlic, minced<br />
Mix all ingredients except salmon in an 8-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add fish.<br />
Simmer 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Serve with broth.<br />
VARIATIONS: For a one-pot meal, add broccoli and quartered small potatoes to the<br />
poaching liquid. You may substitute bluefish, cod or catfish for salmon. Makes 4 servings.<br />
MediterraneanStuffed a<br />
Fish Fillets<br />
l<br />
4 Halibut fish fillets, 4 oz. each<br />
(or Haddock, Cod or Sole)<br />
2 tbsps. lemon juice<br />
2 tsps. olive oil<br />
1/2 cup fat-reduced ricotta cheese<br />
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped<br />
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped<br />
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese<br />
1 tsp. fresh black pepper<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix feta and ricotta cheese, spinach,<br />
tomatoes and pepper. With the fish fillets laid out, place 1/4 of the mixture at the<br />
largest end of the fillet. Roll up, starting at large end, until<br />
completely rolled together. Place each stuffed fillet on a baking<br />
pan that has been greased with oil. Drizzle lemon juice and<br />
olive oil to lightly cover the fillets. Bake for 25 minutes.<br />
Serve from oven. Makes 4 servings.<br />
Glazed Mediterranean Veggies<br />
This veggie dish is best grilled on a bbq or under a broiler.<br />
1 red pepper, cut into 1 inch strips<br />
1 med. red onion, cut to 1/2 inch slices<br />
1 med. zucchini, cut to 1/2 inch slices<br />
2 med. Portobello mushrooms, caps cut<br />
to just under 1 inch wide strips<br />
Creamy Mediterranean erranean ra<br />
Dressing<br />
2 tbsps. extra-virgin olive oil<br />
1 tsp. crumbled, dried oregano<br />
1 1/2 tsps. balsamic vinegar<br />
1/2 tsp. sea salt<br />
1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper<br />
In a bowl, combine peppers, onion, zucchini and mushrooms. Add olive oil and oregano.<br />
Toss to coat. Prepare grill or broiler. Arrange veggies in a single layer on grill rack or<br />
broiler pan. Broil or grill 2 inches from heat source until veggies are just tender-crisp<br />
and lightly toasted with brown marks, usually 7 minutes or so. Turn veggies over and<br />
cook for an additional 5 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together salt, balsamic vinegar<br />
and pepper. Arrange veggies on platter and brush vinegar mixture over veggie<br />
presentation. This dish may be served warm or at room temp. Makes 4 servings.<br />
This dressing is wonderful on salads, Mediterranean veggie medleys and wraps.<br />
1 large avocado, peeled, cored & chopped<br />
1 clove garlic, minced<br />
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped<br />
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt<br />
(or 1/3 cup low-fat sour cream)<br />
2 tbsps. fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)<br />
3 1/2 tbsps. olive oil<br />
1/2 tsp. salt<br />
1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper<br />
1/4 cup water (more a less to achieve desired consistency)<br />
In a blender, combine all ingredients. Process until smooth textured. You will need to<br />
scrape inside of blender a couple times. Add water to “thin” dressing to the consistency<br />
you enjoy. Be mindful to add only a small portion of water at a time. Store in an<br />
airtight glass jar, covered, in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or until well chilled. Shake<br />
before serving. Makes just over 1 cup of deliciously creamy dressing. This dressing is at<br />
its best if used within 2 to 3 days.<br />

perhaps another way to see someone<br />
who doesn’t finish something, is that<br />
they’re too busy.<br />

WORTH PRESERVING!<br />
When the pantry is full it means only one thing—<br />
The end of the garden we planted in spring.<br />
There's catsup and peppers and pickles galore,<br />
And carrots, tomatoes and peas and much more.<br />
When the pantry is full it means winter is near;<br />
The snow and the sleet will be falling soon here.<br />
The leaves all have floated fall colours around;<br />
Now the last of the chestnuts have thumped to<br />
the ground.<br />
When the pantry is full the feeling is good—<br />
Now is the time to be gathering wood,<br />
For winter will bring a warmth and a glow,<br />
While we sit snug and cozy and gaze at the snow.<br />
When the pantry is full you know love’s in the heart,<br />
For lots of your time went into each part.<br />
To pick and clean, to wash and to can,<br />
All labours of love for your family and man.<br />
When the pantry is full you feel good inside,<br />
As you look on your jars with a feeling of pride.<br />
There they all stand like a real work of art,<br />
All pretty as pictures... now don't you feel smart?<br />
Through all of the “putting up” you’ve worked like a mule,<br />
But don't you feel good when the pantry is full?<br />

The Surprise and The Gift<br />
The surprise is that we are born. The surprise is that we can love. The gift is what<br />
we do with these two things.<br />
given me even now from afar. Something<br />
The Surpise<br />
that I will always be able to hold close<br />
It was Christmas Day and it was just to me and feel the love, goodness, and<br />
a little note from my brother to me, left tenderness that mother and son once<br />
inside the back door of my parent’s shared between them in earlier, happier<br />
house. It said “I found this two weeks times.<br />
ago. It must be from years ago, because When I am holding the little Christmas<br />
it’s wrapped in old tissue paper. Anyway present I am holding her hands, as she<br />
it’s yours.” Behind it was a small, soft held it. She is wrapping me in her arms,<br />
present wrapped in dark blue tissue as she wrapped this gift of love intended<br />
paper. There was even a homemade for me so long ago. And so the gift is old<br />
tag, made from an old Christmas card, but the gift is always new, because the gift<br />
still on it -- “Merry Christmas To Ken, need never be opened, but is always ready<br />
‘from Mom.” Now there wouldn’t be to be opened anytime and anywhere,<br />
anything very noteworthy in relating under any circumstances.<br />
any of this, except my mother passed What does it really contain? I<br />
away two years ago.<br />
don’t know. Maybe some last minute<br />
instructions on how to handle the crashes<br />
The Gift<br />
and bumps in life, that she failed to tell<br />
I didn’t open it that Christmas Day. In me one way or another throughout the<br />
fact I hope I will never<br />
years. Or some soothing<br />
open it. For then the<br />
words she would like a<br />
secret and the mystery<br />
son to know that would<br />
will be done, the wonder<br />
ease the loss when a<br />
will be over, this last<br />
mother dies. Or helpful<br />
remaining magical link<br />
advice on what to do in<br />
to my mother that I can<br />
this situation or that.<br />
hold in my hands will be<br />
If I believed in angels,<br />
gone for good. It was like<br />
I could say that maybe<br />
receiving a final wish of<br />
they, or Mom herself,<br />
love and giving to me<br />
helped my brother find<br />
a final remembrance<br />
this gift for me in time for<br />
from her that will always<br />
Christmas. For I sorely<br />
be there no matter the<br />
needed it. Because it was<br />
years or distance.<br />
all the Christmas present<br />
The gift is not what’s<br />
I needed. Thanks, Mom.<br />
inside but what she has<br />
Love, Ken.<br />
