www.friendsofglendavisravine.ca my toronto includes streetcars and croquet here are many things i like about toronto and my list most definitely includes the streetcar there is a westbound stop across from where i and the wife reside and it can get mighty chilly on a cold winter morning while waiting for the vehicle to arrive then just when all seems lost the noble prow of the 501 crests the hill at the queen and lee intersection and suddenly all seems right with the world non cents i see by the papers that a montreal store is refusing to have anything to do with the one cent coin store management refuses to give out the humble coin in change and will not accept them when they are offered in payment in my opinion this is discrimination in its crassest form and it should be vigorously stamped out by authorities and i will tell you why familiar old phrases such as a penny for your thoughts will disappear from popular use because it won t mean anything to a generation that will grow up in a penniless society and here s another thing in my lifetime i have worked with many women with the first name penny and without exception they have all been intelligent and very attractive but getting back to the penny for your thoughts argument what will re t place it a nickel for your notions doesn t have the same ring to it there is a very real chance that if the anti-penny forces succeed in getting rid of the unassuming coin i believe they will turn their dark attentions to getting rid of the five cent piece and eventually the eradication of coins altogether and what kind of a world will that leave us the merry jingle of coins in one s possession will be replaced with the dour rustle of paper money and to me this does not represent an improvement in our lives stick up for croquet speaking of improvements in our lives i and the wife were delighted with the resounding success of the first annual gardeners cottage croquet tournament which was held recently on the pristine playing grounds in kew gardens lawyer don snider an avid croqeteer was a great help when it came to explaining the rules of the game and other niceties and it is our hope that the game will become an important part of the sporting events in the beach it was part of a fundraiser organized by the local advisory board for kew cottage aka the gardener s cottage and the profits went to the continued upkeep and restoration of the gardener s cottage which has stood at the foot of leuty avenue for more than a century unfortunately i and the wife were unable to attend due to a previous commitment but reports from witnesses brought back memories of the croquet matches we used to hold at our various residences in this great part of the city they were hotly contested affairs replete with accusations of sandbagging and other deliberate attempts to throw opponents off their game but despite these allegations all of them unproven i am pleased to say the games were conducted in an atmosphere of good fellowship and keen sportsmanship there were a few flair ups to be true but at the end of the day these outbursts were forgotten and all contestants received a prize none of them worth more than $1.25 i know that sounds a little chintzy but our expenses were high because every year we had to replace croquet mallets that were broken over the heads of competitors and croquet balls that were split in half by the swings of frustrated competitors i was very pleased to learn that there were no reports of similar behavior at this year s inaugural event i am sure that pattern of behavior will be continued in the years to come when i am confident the croquet tournament will become an established part of the beach athletic scene bill maclean s 5 minutes ­ 5 questions in the last issue we

the brainchild of andrew blinoff who took magnified pictures of various objects readers were invited to guess what the photo was of aided by clever clues in the caption the winner would be drawn from

dances on your palate and makes magic every time you sip it that would be bubbly of course sparkling wine is made several different ways the champagne method involves a second fermentation in the same bottle in the charmat tank or cuvée close method all the same the second fermentation takes place in a large tank and the wine bottled under pressure through the transfer method the wine is actually fermented in the bottle but then transferred to a large tank to clean it up and then rebottled under pressure another method is injection or carbonation where co2 is simply pumped into a tank of still wine occasionally some light bubbly is created by stopping fermentation through chilling thus leaving some slight natural co2 in the bottle whether for toasting launching ships partying or special occasions sparkles is the wine of choice because of its exuberant character there s just something about the bubbles that entice for matching shellfish simply prepared poultry or soft young cheeses there s nothing finer in my mind one does not need a reason or excuse to open a bottle of bubbly the mere popping of the cork is celebration enough with the festive season not that long off it s never

spending too much time in the dental chair based on scientific data they may not be alone statistics have shown that dental caries better known as tooth decay or cavities is on the rise in children aged two to five years and has been on the increase for the past two decades tooth decay is by far the most common of all the chronic childhood diseases affecting five times more canadian children than asthma while childhood tooth decay is readily treatable it does potentially lead to undesirable outcomes such as discomfort dental anxiety or phobia time lost from school and significant financial burden to families although many different risk factors have been implicated for developing tooth decay the four essential ingredients are a tooth surface decay-causing bacteria fermentable carbohydrates such as sugar and time what makes some children more prone to cavities than others are factors such as the hardness of the enamel the anatomy of the teeth and the buffering capacity of

excessive exposure to fluoride is not good either and can cause fluorosis which can negatively affect the appearance of the teeth and potentially lead to other health problems optimal benefit from community water fluoridation programs has been shown to take place at one part per million in municipal water supply this has been the fluoridation level in toronto s drinking water since 1959 in spite of this media focus on the undesirable effects of excessive fluoride intake has unfortunately led to the rise of an `anti-fluoride movement bottled water in plastic bottles began to gain popularity in the 1980s in part because of widespread concern about the safety of tap water bottled water is usu ally either obtained from natural springs or produced by treating tap water with a chemical process known as reverse osmosis this process is designed to remove unwanted impurities from tap water but unfortunately it also removes most or all of the fluoride from the water dentists have long speculated that mass consumption of bottled water would lead to significant increase in the prevalence of tooth decay recently a number of studies have proven this speculation to be valid researchers in a number of centres have studied two groups of children from the same community over a period of two to three years one group drinking exclusively tap water and the other only bottled water in each community studied the group of children drinking bottled water had significantly more tooth decay the only variable the researchers could identify to distinguish the two groups was the presence or absence of fluoride in their drinking water based on these findings most dentists recommend tap water over bottled water particularly in young children parents of young children should be
